Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Thank you," she said, smiling, and the two of them went to sit by the small pavilion.

"So, you have got a lot to do here, huh?" he inquired.

"Yeah, I do, so you wanted to talk about something, should I go first?" she asked.

"Go on, I will tell you what I know of the source after," he responded.

"Okay, sure," she replied.

"Well, a guy named Vellon may be here with a few others or more to claim the source, he was a friend of mine, you know, the one they said tried to assassinate my father, the traitor?" she inquired.

"Uh... Yeah, I remember, so you have to face him too, huh?" he asked. "What about their boss? Do you have any leads on him?"

"Nope, there are no leads, which is why a lot will go down if they actually get their hands on this source, whatever it might be, I am training the others and they are helping each other for this very purpose as well, and I have another mission with one of my team members, it's getting really complicated but it is what it is," she responded, and he sighed, knowing no one was safe.

"Well, my part will be able to help you, I understand everything," he said, and she sighed.

"I had to kill a girl named Isabella, she was a friend and really harmed one of her own mates, I will tell you the rest," she replied, and he left staring at her before smiling.

Adora spent a long time telling the king about their journey, and after hearing it all, he was unsure whether it would be responsible to let them fight if it came down to one, and he was confused because he didn't want them to be hurt.

"So the others are aware of what you've told me?" he inquired.

"Yeah, they know because they were there, the enemy is a greater threat than we realize, especially when we don't even know who is pulling the strings of the puppets, it's bad," she replied, and he exhaled deeply.

"What is your father saying about all of this, Adora?" he asked, and she smiled.

"Father knows I have to do this; he doesn't want me to, but he knows I won't stay put and it's something that has to be done," she replied.

"I don't blame him for not wanting you to be a part of any of this, it's insane, the enemy obviously doesn't care about those who stand in his way, all he sees is his goal," he said as she lowered her head.

"To be honest, I think there's more to this person than we know," she replied, and he looked at her.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"No matter what his reasons are, we will get rid of him if we can," she said to which the king smiled. "But no one thinks of suddenly bringing the apocalypse if it's just because of the royals and what happened in the past, it's nonsense, killing people to get your goal, that's another level of dark, he has to want more, people like him are not satisfied with just that unless there is something else too."

"You are correct, that is another level of dark, if you continue to get in his way, he will get really mad too, so that's why you guys need to be more careful, none of this is good for any of you, these are things that can be stopped but give you nightmares for a very long time," he replied as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Be careful, Adora, and how will you find out who he is when his own people have never seen his face?" he asked.

"I will figure a way out, besides, I feel as if Vellon has seen his face before, Vellon might know more than he is letting on, this is going to be a fight I am going to enjoy if he really plans on going against me, I will him," she said with a cold look in her eyes and he king sighed.

"I'm sorry," he replied.

"Sorry for what, your majesty?" she inquired.

"I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this, it's all related to the war in the past, so much happened, that it left some of us worried, some of us get nightmares about it, this world can be terrible at times, if only people could put some of their selfish desires aside and let others live in peace," he responded, and she smiled.

"Don't apologize, it's fine; we can't stop everything from happening, but we can try; if you sit back and watch it happen and do nothing, that's a pain you'll have to live with for the rest of your life; I'm not sure if we can stop it, but when revenge is involved, one will go to extreme lengths to get what they want from the enemy," she explained.

"Revenge?" he inquired.

"Like I said, I have another mission aside from this one," she replied and he chuckled.

"I know, is there going to be a full moon soon?" she inquired.

"Probably one in a week or a few days," he replied, and she smiled.

"Thanks, I have an idea as to how I can get the location of the next source," she said.

"Well, that's great; also, Adora, I have to go; I'll be back by night; if you guys need anything, call me," he replied.

"Got it, be safe and if anyone weird or so contacts you, well more suspicious confronts you, please be on guard, I know you can defend yourself but still,," she said and he smiled.

"Alright if that's all then that much I am pretty sure I can do, see ya," he replied, then left and she went to her room, for it was the same one she stayed in when she used to visit the king, her room was located at the front part of the castle.
