Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora took a deep breath before disappearing and reappearing in the living room, where the others jumped and she smiled.

"Adora, please don\'t give me a heart attack at such a young age," Eliza sighed.

"I am sorry, I am hungry too," Adora said and they looked at her while eating and she took her food then sat beside Alix.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"I\'m fine, you don\'t have to worry about me; also, are you guys sure you want to come with me to the next place?" She inquired, and they exchanged glances before turning to face her.

"Yeah," they said at once and she smiled.

"Good," she said, before starting to eat.

"Where are we going next?" Alix asked.

"The kingdom of Elvetia," she replied, and the king and queen exchanged glances before turning to face Adora.

"Are you certain about that?" the king asked, and she smiled.

"Of course I am, it\'s a popular spot where another source might be, I have to go," she replied, and they both smiled.

"All right," the queen said.

"Then it\'s settled, we\'re leaving the day after tomorrow and anyone can tag along at their own risk, we\'ll take two or three days to get there by water train," Adora said, and they all smiled.

"Sure, we\'ll get our things ready; it\'s the best time to leave anyway," Alix said, sipping his drink.

"Do you think so as well?" Nina inquired, and Alix glanced at her.

"Yeah, I do, especially with everything going on," he replied, and she smiled before looking at Yan.

\'I hope my powers can help you guys,\' Nina thought as she looked at them.

While Adora was eating, she scoffed as she remembered Vellon\'s cold expression.

"What\'s the matter?" Zack inquired.

"Nothing, just something that randomly came to mind," she replied, and he sighed.

"He was more serious than usual, wasn\'t he Adora?" Zack questioned.

"It\'s not your fault, but you still don\'t fully believe he is truly evil, but if it comes down to killing him, you will because you made the decision not to let him hurt your own, am I correct?" Alix inquired.

"You are not wrong; I\'m pretty sure it\'ll come down to a fight; Vellon is stubborn; if he has made up his mind, he wants to always listen to his new boss; even I won\'t be able to change his mind, which is why I decided I would have to be the one he fights," she responded then Alix sighed while looking at his drink.

"It\'s not going to be easy for you," he said, and she smiled at him.

"It will be fine, you guys should stop worrying so much and relax a little, I am done here, I will call it a night now, good night everyone," she said as she stood up, placed her plate on the trolley, and exited the living room with her fists clenched, knowing Alix was not wrong but she couldn\'t admit it even if she wanted to.

"Do you think he is really bad now?" Alix questioned, and Zack glanced at him.

"The look in his eyes when he looked at Adora was cold, he never looks at her like that, no matter what, Adora was the one person he couldn\'t look at like that, I don\'t even know why he\'s doing this, was it all a ruse or not?" We don\'t know anything anymore," Zack said frustratedly, and Adora heard him because she was about to go up the stair when Alix asked the question and decided to wait to hear what they will say.

\'Zack isn\'t entirely wrong there,\' Adora thought, and Alix smiled.

"Then, if that\'s the case, we have to let her handle Vellon; she doesn\'t want us getting involved in his matter; we will listen to her because we don\'t really know why he\'s doing what he\'s doing right now," Alix said, and the others agreed.

"You are correct, I think the same," Kyris responded, and Adora smiled.

\'I guess my hard work of being tough on them, more like a tyrant when I first started training them paid off, they have all grown so much, I feel pleased, mom,\' Adora thought as she went up to her room and shut the door behind her.

"I need to master that power of mine soon, it\'s obvious that I will need it, and I will tell Alix the truth soon, revenge or not, that\'s going to be his choice," she said as she opened the seal and the shadow heard what she said.

"That\'s going to be one hell of a reveal, the last of his kind, I wonder what he\'ll do to those who destroyed them, I don\'t think Alix will ignore or forgive that easily, I think he\'ll want revenge and so do you sweetheart," It said and she smiled knowing he might be right.

"I believe he will as well, but he is unique, he thinks differently at times, and we cannot predict what he will do," she replied.

"You\'re right, damn, you kids are really complicated, and having this much to deal with at such a young age, that\'s difficult," it said as she opened her hair and opened the balcony door, allowing the very cold breeze into her room.

"That\'s cold, very cold, I am within you, but I feel it, the cold helps you relax, doesn\'t it?" It inquired.

"Yeah, it does, I am sorry," she said.

"You don\'t have to apologize, I am heat, I will be fine, I noticed that there are times my power warm up your body when it\'s too cold," it replied and she chuckled.

"Yeah I noticed too and I am not mad about it, honestly, I am not, just a little while longer and you will be out of there," she said.

"Relax, I prefer to come out after you get back home, even if you somehow manage to free me, I am comfortable you know, I don\'t have a problem with being here at all," it replied and she scoffed.
