Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Good morning, have you had breakfast yet?" she inquired.

"Yes, I had breakfast before leaving, are you guys ready?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm done here," she replied as she stood up.

"So are we, I am full," Ayden said as he stood up, followed by the others, and the king sighed as they all grabbed their bags and headed for the airship.

When they arrived at the field, they saw Scott and Dorious there, and the king smiled.

"Your highness," they said, bowing their heads.

"There's no need for that; we are friends, the queen and I came to see them off," the king said, and Dorious smiled.

"How are you, Scott?" the king asked.

"Fine, thank you, your highness," he replied as he opened the airship's door, and they all entered, smiling as they saw how modern and luxurious the ship was inside, with stairs leading up to each part of the ship, including the deck at the very top where the pilot is supposed to be, and the interior was brown.

Everyone chose a room before they could take room and their rooms were comfortable for them, after choosing their rooms they all went up to the deck where the pilot was supposed to be and Scott entered the ship then locked the door, and went up with them where they looked down at the king and the others as Scott started the ship and they looked up as the ship started floating in the air.

"Guys, take care and good luck," the queen said and they looked down at them then smiled.

"You guys take care, too," Adora replied, and the king smiled and waved as the ship took off at full speed, straight up into the sky, surrounded by clouds and passing birds.

"This sure is a nice view," Sarah said, and Nina nodded as they sniffed the fresh air. Adora held out her hand, and a cloud floated right through it, making her smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Scott said, and Adora smiled.

"You are welcome, and please call me Adora," she replied and he smiled.

"Alright, I will,' he said and she sighed, then closed her eyes, allowing the wind to brush against her face and Ifrit approached her.

"You doing okay?" he asked and she glanced at him.

"I'm fine, you know, I should be the one asking you that, you dealt with a lot recently," she replied, and he chuckled, then placed his finger by the side of her face, pulling the strands of hair behind her ear.

"Thank you," she said to which he sighed then looked up at the clouds.

"You're welcome, Adora, I think it's time you took what you want, don't let anyone take from you anymore, I could say the same thing to Alix but that's your job, you know a lot about him, far more than I can possibly think and it will sound better coming from you, someone even he trusts," he replied, to which she scoffed.

"I know, I'm not going to let anyone take what's mine anymore," she said and he smiled.

"That certainly is pleasing to my ear," he replied, chuckling, then patted her on the head, and she smiled.

"I think I'll go to my room; there's not much to do, but I should try to sleep," she said.

"I believe you should as well, you are one who deserves to sleep as long as you want," he replied, and she chuckled before going down to her room, where she sat on the bed, laid back, and exhaled deeply, wanting to sleep a little longer but knew it would be difficult.

'I'm still tired,' she thought as she yawned.

"Go to sleep," Nina said as she approached Adora's room door, and Adora turned to face her.

"I will, in a few, what are you doing here? Not enjoying the view?" Adora asked.

"It's quite enjoyable to be honest, the others are enjoying it as well, magic and modern technology sure is something else, this thing even has an air conditioner, Scott said that his father doesn't find these things difficult to build, with the right time and guide it will be finished in no time but this airship took a while, the top can be opened up and closed, that's the top deck where they are at, it's fancier than we think, strong too," Nina responded, and Adora smiled.

"Yeah, my father told me they reinforced it with magic too, it's capable of a lot more than we know, it's one of the reasons I chose it to come with, if Scott closes the open area on the deck, it will light up nice and it won't bother him to see outside, where he is going and won't give him wrong directions either, it's comfortable," she said and Nina nodded.

"Yeah, I know, I even like my room, the ship can go on autopilot, it's amazing, this definitely took a lot of work, thank you for letting us ride in this," Nina replied then Adora patted her on the head.

"You don't need to thank me for anything."

"You don't have to thank me for any of this, either ways, you guys would have gotten to come," she said and Nina smiled then placed her head on Adora's shoulder.

"What's bothering you, Nina?" Adora inquired, and the girl sighed.

"I'm just worried about what might happen, especially to you, because the fight is more serious than ever this time," she replied, and Adora looked at her.

"Nina, sweetheart, don't worry about that, I will be fine, try not to worry so much, it's not good, we will give it our best shot, I promise, how are things with you and Yan?" Adora asked.

"Good and that's because of you, our relationship is going well, better than I expected and I am happy, thank you for all of it," Nina responded when Adora noticed Yan standing by the door, listening and she looked at him, then he smiled and placed his finger on his lip, indicating Adora to be quiet about his presence, then he left.
