Rise of the Malactric Heir

Later that night, while Adora was sleeping, her hands began trembling as she felt herself being sucked in her dreams and within the darkness, there was someone standing by a light and her brows furrowed as he looked back at her with his eyes glowing and she took a step back. 

"No... You are not going to get what you want, I have to tell the truth... All of it before it's too late, before," she mumbled and her eyes widened as he appeared in front of her eyes, with a hood over his head and a piercing look in his eyes. 

'Is this really just a dream? If so, why does his gaze feel like this?' she wondered as he leaned in closer to her. 

"Good to see that you are alright, Adora," he whispered and she grabbed onto Alix's hand, as he slept beside her. 

"How?" she asked. 

"We are connected, one way or the other, your fate is in my hands whether you accept it or not and sooner or later, you will give in to me, like it or not, your will is not stronger than mine, after all, you are afraid of losing things dear to you, while I have no such thing, also, if I were you guys, I won't sit back and relax just yet," he responded. 

'I guess what I read so long ago, is true, the way I was made, him... all of it...' she thought as she felt another presence there and her eyes widened, wondering who it was then she felt Alix holding her hand and suddenly, she was pulled out of the dream. 

"What the hell what that?" she asked as she opened her eyes and looked at Alix, sleeping, while holding onto her hand and a gentle smile appeared on her face. 

"Thank you, Alix," she said then kissed him on his cheek, after which she hugged him tightly. 

The girl smiled then closed her eyes and in just a few minutes, she was able to fall asleep again, this time, without having any such dreams. 

The next morning, when Alix woke up, he grunted and was about to move when he felt someone holding him down and he looked then smiled when he saw that, Adora was hugging him. 

"Look at you, making yourself comfortable," he said. 

"I am sorry, Alix..." she mumbled in her sleep and he smiled then patted her on her head and she held onto him tighter. 

"I wonder what you are going to say to us next, well, I will be here by your side, I am not going to let anything happen to you," he said as he glanced at her then got off of the bed and gave her a pillow to hug. 

Alix went to freshen up and while he was doing so, the girl woke up then wiped her eyes before getting off of the bed. 

"I will be right back.." she mumbled then began writing something on a paper and she placed it on the side of the bed, before grabbing her clothes and a towel then she left the room and went to freshen up in another. 

A little while after, when Alix finished taking his bath and getting dressed, his brows furrowed when he saw she was not in the room, then he saw the note and picked it up, before reading it. 

"So, you went out for a bit huh? Fine," he said then left the room and went down to the living room, where he blew a whistle, after seeing, everyone was already there. 

"Good morning," he said. 

"Good morning," they replied. 

"Where is she?" the king asked. 

"Uh... She is not here, she went out for a bit," he responded. 

"Where?" the king asked and Alix sighed as he looked at him. 

"She didn't say, but she shouldn't be long," he responded. 

"She left in a slight rush, I saw her leaving just a few minutes ago, she is heading to the city," Xemon said as he entered the room with Aragi and Alix glanced at them. 

"I hope she is not up to anything, not after what happened last night," the queen said with a sigh and Alix braced back on the wall. 

Just then, the maids entered the room, with a lot of food and drinks and the king thanked them then looked at the others, knowing they didn't eat breakfast, but there were a few things there that he didn't ask for. 

"Wait, what's with all of the different types of pastries?" the king asked. 

"The princess just brought them and she switched the tea with other things brought from a cafe, nothing here is from our kitchen," one of the maids responded and Alix smiled. 

"Consider it a treat from me, a good breakfast while we talk, besides I need the food," Adora said with a slight smile. 

The girl entered the room and nearly fell, due to being slightly weak at the time and Alix grabbed onto her, wrapping his hand around her waist. 

"What happened last night drew some of your energy, sit down," Alix said and she sat down with him and the others. 

"Go ahead, take what you want to eat, sorry for leaving just like that earlier, Alix," she said and he glanced at her before patting her on her head. 

"It's okay, don't worry about it," he replied and she smiled as did the king and the queen then everyone began taking what they wanted to eat and drink and she smiled as she looked at them. 

"Thank you, for last night, you saved me from something that, I am not sure I have it in me to fight right now," she said and Alix glanced at her as he ate a chocolate pastry. 

"You don't need to thank me for that, I would do it a thousand times," he replied and she blushed then the others laughed and Alix grinned. 

"I want to tell you, guys, something, it's one I have been hiding for a while, please listen to me carefully and I want you to understand, because I am not going to repeat it, it's something I have been carrying with me for years, it connects people in a way and maybe slightly dark," she said as they stared at her. 

Her eyes began glowing and the star marking appeared in them as well as on the top of her right palm.
