Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Good morning, guys," Adora said as she entered the room, and they all looked at her as she sat next to Alix.

"Good morning, how are you?" Yola inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me," she said, and he smiled.

"You're used to taking the lead on most things; it won't hurt to have people worry about you once in a while," Yola replied, but she completely ignored him as she took her food and Alix looked at her then sighed.

"We'll be there sooner than we thought, before midday, which is just now, so I hope you guys have your stuff ready," she said.

"We do, I'm not a prince, just a rich guy's kid like most of us, but you are one strange princess," Yola replied, smiling.

'Are you flirting with my friend?" Eliza inquired, and he scoffed at her.

"What's the deal with the scoff?" Eliza questioned.

"Mind your own business, you snoop," he replied.

"Who are you calling a snoop creep?" Eliza asked.

"Have you ever heard of something called peace and quiet?" "I like to have that when my head hurts, so please keep quiet," Adora said, and Eliza sighed.

'I will deal with you differently,' Eliza said.

"No one will be dealing with anyone here; if you start a fight, I'll kick you back home, no problem, am I clear?" Adora inquired with her gaze fixed on them.

"You won't have any issues coming from me," Yola said.

"No problem," Alix said as he looked at the princess, who raised her right brow.

"Good, I'm done," she said as she stood up and looked at the clock on the wall.

"We're here, it's now 11 am, you guys sure slept in," she said as the train came to a stop and everyone got up to go get their belongings.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I'm starting to feel the effects on my body," she thought as she noticed Nina staring at her.

'What is it, Nina?' she inquired.

"Why won't you tell me what's going on with you anymore?" the girl inquired.

"I don't have anything to talk about right now, Nina, stop getting so worked up, please go get your things," she replied, and the girl pouted and walked away in anger.

"Damn it, I wish I could talk about everything, but I just can't," she thought as she went to her room and grabbed her luggage.

After everyone got their stuff, they exited the train and stepped onto a platform.

'Your highness,' a man said as he approached her and bowed.

"I'm Luca, and I'll be taking you guys to the castle," he said as a few others arrived to collect their possessions.

"Here, follow me," he said quietly as they walked out onto the road, where Adora smiled as she saw the fancy creatures flying above their heads.

"I will take you straight to the castle as the prince has ordered," the guy said.

Adora looked out the window while they were driving and saw the kids walking with their pets.

"Do you guys have a beast-taming arena as well?" she inquired, and Luca smiled.

"Yes, your highness, this kingdom is partly futuristic and partly ancient, as you can see, the land is quite fertile and is filled with all kinds of creatures, scared beasts too, to be honest, that's what has the prince so worried," he replied.

"Why would he be concerned about that, I don't understand. This kingdom also has very rare creatures that my kingdom does not have, so he should be pleased "Adora stated.

"Yes, that is true, but unlike you, the prince is not that strong, your kingdom has some really special people, we have mostly man-beasts, and so on, we are currently in a crisis your highness, you are the only one who can help him," he replied, sighing.

"I guess that's why my father was worried, he looked worried when I talked to him earlier," Adora reasoned. "I'll take this seriously and help," Adora promised.

"We have arrived, your highness," he said as they exited the city and gazed out at the mountains and valleys where Adora noticed a sheep being chased by a girl and a lion.

"The people are cheerful," she exclaimed as she turned to see the castle in the mountain area.

"Wow," Alix exclaimed as the car crossed a bridge that was directly on top of the water and a sea horse jumped over the car as they passed by, and the others smiled brightly as they got onto a flat surface of the road and drove across the not-too-distant valley until they arrived at the castle and the car came to a stop.

"I hope you enjoy your stay as well," Luca said as they stepped out of the car and she sniffed the minty air coming from the valley.

"Your highness," someone said as they emerged from the castle, which stood tall on the hill before them, white in color and surrounded by trees and waterfalls.

"My lady, welcome to the kingdom of Ausakton, I am prince Victor and I will be your host," he said as he took her hand in his and kissed the top of her palm. Then they bowed their heads in respect, and Victor looked around at the rest of her crew.

"You are a lot, I am glad you came," he said as his dark hair blew in the wind and she looked at his body; he was dressed in his royal attire of white, blue, and silver, and he had a slim jawline, bright blue eyes, and fair skin.

"Nice to meet you," she said.

"Likewise, my lady, I have a surprise for you," he replied, as she looked at him puzzled.

"Surpise?" Alix asked.

"Yes, it's for the princess, Adora, it's someone you have been wanting to see for a while, "he said.

"I am sorry, but I'm not sure what you're talking about," she replied and Nina smiled brightly as two guys appeared in front of them, and Adora gasped as her eyes shook in surprise.
