Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning, it's difficult to wake you up when you are in a deep sleep, relax a bit, cool off," she replied with a smile, before he sat up and stretched off.

"I slept well, for sure," he said.

"So did I, which I hardly ever do, but I think you already know that," she replied, then shivered as she opened the balcony door.

"It's still so cold, is it going to snow soon?" he asked as he stood up, and she sneezed, her nose turning red, and he looked at her.

"Take something for the cold, I won't blame you this time, you had no idea it was cold outside, seems like it will be that way for a while, you keep telling us to take care of ourselves, you are the one that needs it right now, you are a good leader Adora, take care of yourself too, your red nose doesn't look bad, I thought I should tell you," he said with a smirk then left her room and she sighed.

"He is right, he seems more at ease lately, it's nice how they are all growing, I am the one who's currently stuck," she said as she grabbed her clothes, locked her room door, and went to freshen up.

When Adora finished taking her bath, she got dressed and opened her room door, then left and went down to the living room.

"Good morning," Kyris said as she walked in, then smiled when she noticed Alix was already there.

"Good morning, are you feeling better?" Alix asked.

"I am fine, don't worry about me," she responded as he got up and went to her then Nina came behind her as Alix stretched his hand behind her and Nina placed a spoon in his hand.

"What do you think you are doing?" she asked and he grinned then shoved the spoon into her mouth, out of force she swallowed the bittersweet liquid, and he drew the spoon out of her mouth then she started coughing.

"You-," she said as he backed away, and the others laughed.

"It just ruined the taste in my mouth, Nina, I will get you, Alix, just wait," Adora said as she sat down.

"He didn't do anything wrong, he did it because we asked him to, it's for your own good," Nina said before Adora sighed.

"Got it, thanks guys," she said as she covered her mouth and coughed.

"Hey, are you all right?" Alix inquired, after which she took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she saw her mother's death flash before her eyes, and the darkness turned towards her as she stared at it with trembling eyes, and she gasped as she flung herself up from the couch.

"Adora," Alix said and she looked at him then smiled.

"I am fine, I will be skipping breakfast this morning," she replied.

"Where are you going?" Alix asked and she turned around to look at him.

"I'm going to get a Frappuccino, do you want some?" she inquired.

"No, thanks," he responded.

"Oh, well if that's it, then go on and be careful," Kyris said and she smiled then left.

"Well, let's go have breakfast guys, I'm sure she'll be fine," Nina said, and they went to the dining hall with the king and queen, where they began eating their breakfast.

"Where is Adora?" Niya asked.

"She went out; she'll be back soon," Nina said.

"Guys I know my niece is strong and so on but is it okay for her to be out and about by herself?" the queen inquired.

"Don't worry, your highness, Adora can more than protect herself, I don't even know what can get in her way, it's difficult to understand what she is capable of, but I am pretty sure that much she can do," Kyllan replied, and the queen sighed in relief.

"Will I just hope she doesn't get into any trouble," the queen said and they continued eating.

"Every time I think about that thing, I can't help but think of how much I want to destroy them," Adora said as she exited the car a cafe in the city.

"Do you want me to wait for you, Your Highness?" the driver asked.

"Sure, come in and get something if you want," she said.

"No, thank you, I am fine, I already ate, and so on," he replied.

"All right, I won't be long," she said as she entered the cafe and ran into someone.

"I am sorry," she apologized.

"Y- Your highness," the person said, and when she looked up, she saw it was the captain of the ship and smiled.

"Captain," she said and he smiled brightly.

"You are walking around free now, I am glad I got to see you," he replied.

"Let me treat you to breakfast, I'll tell you all about it, if you want to hear," she said, and he smiled. They sat at a table, and Adora placed her order alongside the captains.

"Good morning, captain," she said, "did you go on a tour of the kingdom or did you stay on the ship?"

"Good morning, your highness, nope, my friends and I went to a lot of places, also congratulations on the finals, I saw," he replied.

"Thank you," she said, "it took a lot out of them."

"I thought it might, how are things with you guys?" he asked.

"Well, a little difficult, but not too bad, the enemy is just getting on my nerves every day, Cameron, Isabella, and Olivia came, I told you about Zack before, right?" She inquired.

"Yeah, I remember you mentioning him in the past, you guys were friends, I think he came on the ship before with uh... him," he said to which she smiled.

"Well, he's here, he was the tournament's host and now he's been targeted by the enemy, my team's opponent in the finals is working for the enemy," she explained, and he sighed and patted her on the shoulder as their order arrived, which she collected and paid for with an extra tip.
