Rise of the Malactric Heir

Alix then raised his hand up and moved her hair from before her face and her cheeks flushed a little as she stared him in the eyes.

"Good morning, Adora," he said.

"G- Good morning, Alix," she replied and he chuckled.

"What's the matter?" he asked as he stood up, and she lowered her head as he smiled at her.

"Nothing, I am going to freshen up, hands off," she responded as she walked away and he chuckled.

'She can be cute at times, damn,' he thought before leaving to go freshen up in his room.

A while after Adora finished taking her bath and doing her morning routine, the girl got dressed and went to the living room and since she took longer to do her morning routine, she saw Alix was already there and he winked at her when he saw her and her eyes narrowed while looking at him then she sat down beside Ifrit and he peeked at her.

"Are you all right?" Ifrit asked and she glanced at him.

"Yes, why?" she inquired as he leaned in closer and smiled.

"Never mind, it's nothing," he replied, and Adora sighed as Nina and the others brought out breakfast and set everything on the table, and Adora stretched before taking her food.

"Adora, are you feeling better?" Nina asked and she looked at the girl.

"Yeah, I am doing way better than before, thanks Nina," she responded and the girl smiled then sat beside her.

"You are welcome, Adora, if there is anything you need to talk about, please come to me, you have shared a lot with me and I will try my best to help," Nina said as she lowered her head, tears in her eyes, and Adora looked at Yan, who smiled then Adora patted Nina on the head.

"Got it, if I feel like talking, I will come to you, I am sorry for worrying you Nina, you have always been worried about me though, sorry," Adora replied, then Nina looked at her with a bright smile on her face and Yan sighed, feeling a bit relieved.

"Now that, that's over with, can we start eating? I am starving, I am really hunger this morning," Yan said before sitting down and they laughed.

"So am I," Aerav replied and Adora looked at him.

"It's probably because you guys fought more than usual yesterday; you should start eating, eat as much as you want, build your energy back up," Adora said, and they sighed before starting to eat.

While eating, Adora took a cup to make her coffee since she forgot to make it and Alix took it from her and she looked at him then he made her a cup and passed it to her.

"Thank you very much, Alix," she said.

"You are welcome," he replied and she smiled then sipped the coffee and exhaled deeply before continuing to eat her food.

"Your highness, good morning, I wanted to let you know that we are getting close to our destination," Scott said to Adora as he approached them while eating cereal, and she smiled.

"That's great; tell me when we get there because I'll have to do something to get us in," she replied.

"All right, I'll let you know when," he said, and she sighed as her phone rang and she took it out of her pocket to see it was her father calling.

"What's the matter?" Alix asked as he looked at her, then she sighed, set her food down, and stood up.

"It's my father," she responded and they looked at her.

"Are you planning on telling him?" Kyris inquired, and she smiled.

"Of course, I will, I will be right back," she replied before walking away, and they exchanged glances.

"How do you think that'll go?" Alix asked.

"I'm not sure about that; I wonder how the king and queen will react," Kyris responded with a sigh, then they resumed eating while Adora went up to the upper deck and looked out at the sky before answering the phone.

"Hello, father," she said.

"Good to hear from you, Adora; how are you?" her father asked, and she lowered her head, her hair falling in front of her face.

"I'm fine, how about you guys back home?" she inquired.

"Don't worry about us so much but we are fine, I am glad you are okay, did you guys find the crystal?" he asked and she clenched her fists.

"Yes, we found it," she responded.

"That's good to hear, are your teammates okay?" he asked.

"They're fine, father, we got into a fight with the enemy, they knew where the crystal was as well, it didn't end well," she responded, and the king sighed.

"From your tone, I think I'm right, they got the crystal?" he inquired.

"Yeah, they got their hands on the crystal, it was also my fault, they got it because of me, I am sorry," she replied.

"Adora, that's enough, you don't have to apologize, it's not your fault, this is life, things like this happens, there are always ups and downs, but it's how we deal with it that matters, how we handle it is what matters, don't go blaming yourself for this, this is not your fault or your friends, you guys did what you could, sometimes things don't always go our way but it's fine," he said.

"Are you not mad?" she inquired, and he chuckled.

"Why would I be mad, Adora?" he asked.

"You know why, we were so close to getting it and yet everything went right down the drain," she responded, and he sighed.

"That's is so not true, you are an amazing, kid, don't blame yourself, this is all of our problem, not just yours Adora, you are young, remember that, I am not blaming you or your team for this, you kids did what you could and that's more than enough, you guys got closer to the enemy than we ever could, there is no way I could be mad with that after all that, you did well," he said as she looked at her reflection in the glass then sighed.
