Rise of the Malactric Heir

"What on earth does he think he's doing?" Alix inquired as he purchased a bottle of juice and Adora sighed.

"I don't like it when people touch me without my permission," she said.

"Ah, you are always on the lookout, aren't you?" h e asked with a smirk, not letting go of her hand, and her eyes narrowed.

He was tall, muscular, and fair, with bright green eyes and brown hair.

"What if I am?" she questioned.

"It's strange, what are you afraid of, your highness?" he inquired.

'I don't like how he's looking at me,' Adora thought.

"I am afraid of killing someone unintentionally, is that a good enough answer for you?" she asked.

"Perhaps, after all they say you are powerful, and not to underestimate you, but what I see before me is a beautiful lady, not a powerful warrior," he replied.

"You are being weird, you don't know me," she said and he scoffed.

"Do I need to know you personally?" he asked, tightening his grip on her hand, and she sighed.

"Listen carefully, when I don't like something, it's best not to do it around or with me, I would like you to get your hands off of me before I hurt you, Casian," she said and his eyes glowed green.

"I am not afraid if it's you," he said and she sighed.

"You are really getting on my nerves, I said let go, don't make me cause a fuss here and embarrass you in public," she said coldly when someone grabbed his hand and both of them looked to see it was Alix.

"If I were you, I would listen to her, take your hands off of our leader or you will regret it," Alix said, tightening his grip on the guy's hand. Casian's eyes widened as Alix forcefully removed his hand from Adora, then released his, and Casian smiled.

"Keep your distance from her," Alix said as he stood in front of Adora and Casian peered at her.

"You are giving me the creeps," she said to which he laughed.

"You are sweet, I am sure he will like you," he replied and she sighed.

"What are you going on about?" she asked.

"You will find out later, I really do look forward to fighting you tomorrow Alix, let's see what you have got," Casian replied, winking at Adora then left as she looked at the redness on her wrist caused by him holding her tightly.

"I don't like him," Alix said as Adora placed her chin on Alix's shoulder and he glanced at her looking irritated but not at her but at Casian.

"Are you all right?" he inquired.

"Of course I am, why shouldn't I be?" she questioned.

"You are being careless," he responded then walked away and she smiled as she went after him and held onto his arm.

"What are you upset about?" she asked.

"I just have a bad feeling about your admirer who just left," he said as they returned to the others who they saw were waiting in the lobby and Adora let go of his arm.

"Where did you two go?" Isabella asked.

"I went to get my drink, and she was talking to an admirer who happened to be my opponent tomorrow as in their leader," Alix responded as the others stared at him and Isabella began laughing.

"Why are you laughing, Isa?" he asked, sighing.

"You should see your face," she said, and everyone laughed.

"What happened to make you so irritated?" Yan inquired.

"What does he mean when he says he will like you?" Alix questioned, and Adora shrugged.

"I have no idea, he was being weird, and believe me, it was surprising," she responded. "I don't know him personally, but I know he is not a weird person."

"Are you talking about Casian?" Kyris inquired.

"What about him?" Zack asked as he approached him and Adora sighed as she rubbed her wrist.

"He was acting strange with Adora just now, grabbed her hand and won't let go, talking nonsense about someone liking her and so on," Alix responded as Adora's eyes began to glow red.

"I don't trust him, that guy could be a problem," Adora said. "If I were you, I would be cautious during tomorrow's match, this will not be like the one against Soren's team."

"I don't think he is a problem," Zack said as Adora continued to rub her wrist.

"I will decide on that, where is Cameron?" Adora asked as she looked around and saw him nowhere.

"Cameron," Olivia called out.

"Where did he go?" Olivia inquired as Adora felt a pat on the shoulder, then turned to see Cameron and sighed in relief.

"You are fine," Olivia said.

"Sorry, I should have told one of you, I just went to get a drink, I am thirsty," he replied, and Adora lowered her head, fists clenched.

'I have a bad feeling, it won't go away, that guy gives me the creeps, I wonder if Alix will be okay in his match tomorrow,' Adora thought as Zack placed his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him.

"Are you all right?" he asked.

"I- yeah, I'm fine," she replied, and Nina hugged her from behind then she smiled.

"Do you want Yan to kill me for taking his hugs?" Adora asked and Yan chuckled.

"Don't worry, I get more than that, you can have the hugs," Yan responded, and Nina's cheeks flushed as Adora patted her hand.

"You are lucky, Yan," she said as he approached her, leaned in, and she pulled back.

"I know I am, and I owe it to you," he replied, and she smiled.

"Are we going back to the castle now, guys?" Niya inquired.

"What are your thoughts, Adora?" Zavis asked.

"I don't know, I'll leave that up to you guys, I'll tag along," she replied, and Kyris yawned.

"I think we should go back to the castle and relax for the rest of the day," Alix suggested, and they agreed upon seeing the looks on Kyris's face.
