Rise of the Malactric Heir

"You should do that more often, your highness," Alix said to Adora as they sat in the dining hall, and she smiled.

"I'll think about it," she said, "I'm surprised you liked it."

"There's no reason for me not to," he said before taking their food and starting to eat.

"You seem to relax when you hum that tune; perhaps you should do it to help you sleep," he suggested, and she smiled.

"Perhaps I will, maybe I can do it for you as well," she replied. "No, I'll probably hum one that will ring your ears out, you like tormenting me, that's obvious."

"Your reaction is the reason why, it's priceless," he explained, before she sighed and they resumed eating.

When everyone had finished eating, Adora went up to her room to freshen up, and when she was done, the girl changed into her nightgown and went to bed, with the shadow watching over her as usual because she was still having nightmares. As for the others, they had decided to call it a night because they were leaving first thing in the morning to their next destination which might be more dangerous than ever for they had no idea what was in store for them yet they were all willing to go.

The next morning, Adora woke up and stretched off while yawning, and a little while after a few of the others woke up.

"Good morning princess," the shadow said and she smiled.

"Good morning sweetie," she replied as she got out of bed.

"Are you really prepared to leave today?" it inquired.

"Yes, I am; we have to," she replied.

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask again, are you sure about this?" it asked.

"Yeah, I am," she replied.

"Okay, you do realize that this could potentially bring up a lot from the past, right?" it asked, and she sighed.

"Yeah, I am fine with it, even if it means it's time my father knows, I only kept it away from him...." she responded.

"I understand, join the others then," it said, and she smiled before sealing it and going to freshen up.

When she finished, she got changed into a long black fine bottom jeans with a white top and long sleeve black jacket with silver chains and small cute beadings and her hair was up in a high pony, allowing her bangs to fall beside her face and she wore a long high top high heel black leather boots with it.

"I am done, all I need to do now is have breakfast and we can head to the train," Adora said as she grabbed her bags and then left the room and a few of the others came down at the same time.

"You look good," Kyris said, smiling.

"Good morning, and thank you," she replied.

"Adora, you are looking hot despite you should have worn a tank top, you covered everything," Kyllan said and she laughed.

"No thanks, I'm fine this way," she replied, and he grinned as Alix approached her and she looked at him.

"You look nice," Alix commented, and Adora smiled.

"Thank you," she replied as he grabbed the tip of her jacket and fixed one of the zips that weren't closed enough to fit the style of the jacket.

"Now it's the way it's supposed to be," he said.

"Thank you once more," she responded.

"There's no need to thank me, but you're welcome," he said as the maids carried their luggage to the cars.

"Well, well, you all look ready; do you want to have breakfast before we go?" the queen inquired.

"Good morning, as well," she added.

"Good morning," they replied.

"Sure, we can have breakfast before we leave," Adora said, and the king wrapped his hand around her neck.

"You look fantastic, Adora," Niya said.

"Thank you Niya," she replied.

"You are welcome, you all look good, looks like you're leaving for a vacation rather than a mission," Niya said as they walked to the dining hall, where the maids had already prepared their breakfasts then they took their seats.

"Adora, here," Kyris said as he handed her the milk, which she collected before smirking at Alix.

"Alix," she said, and he raised his brows at her.

"Could you please make my coffee?" she asked.

"Fine, I will deal with you later, lazy," he said and she chuckled as he made her coffee for her.

"I may have some of their attributes, but I'm sorry aunt, I'm not like them," she replied.

"What makes you think that?" Alix inquired, and Adora looked at him, unsure how to respond, so she remained silent and continued eating her meal, as did they.

Adora clenched her fists as they ate, remembering the tune her mother hummed to her.

"When they finished eating everyone got up and the king and queen smiled.

"I suppose it's time to go, huh?" The king inquired before patting Zavis on the head, and the young man smirked.

"Well, you guys go ahead and be careful; if you can't win, just leave," the queen said, and they all bowed.

"I can't promise we will be fine, but we will try our best, your highnesses," Adora replied and the queen grabbed her by her hand, pulled her closer and hugged the girl tightly as the others smiled.

"Take care, all of you," she said before releasing Adora and the princess smiled as they walked to their cars and drove away, while the king and queen sighed, fearful of what might happen next.

"I hope they return," the queen said as they walked back into the castle.

'I will send Zavis back to you guys in one piece, don't worry,' Adora thought as they arrived at the train station and got out of the cars, then took their bags out and Zack handed Adora the tickets for they booked an entire section of the train for themselves so they won't be uncomfortable, the king and queen made sure they got the best for them.
