Rise of the Malactric Heir

Everyone looked at Alix and Adora, hoping that they won't start fighting over the issue and Adora exhaled deeply, seeing Alix really was not going to leave or drop it this time and she understood why but despite that, she had many conflicting thoughts. 

Alix lowered his gaze, not wanting to harass her any further but knew he had no choice either and decided to push her more than he had before and he stretched off. 

"Got it, I will just wait here until you are ready to talk," he said and she flinched as she looked at him. 

"No, there is no need for you to do that, no matter what you do, we are not talking about this right now Alix, this is not the time nor the place," she replied and he scoffed. 

"Then, when will it ever be the right time and place, Adora, huh? Can you tell me that? How much longer are you going to keep me waiting?" he asked as he stared at her and she swallowed. 

"It's not like that, you just don't understand, do you think I wanted things to turn out like this? To become like this?" she asked and his eyes narrowed. 

"What are you talking about?" he asked. 

"It doesn't matter, please.... Just this once, let it go," she responded with a little bit of tears in her eyes and Alix clenched his right fist as he looked away from her. 

"Is it so bad Adora?" he asked and she moved back a little. 

"Alix..." she mumbled as he lowered his head. 

"It really does have to deal with the bad guys, doesn't it?" he asked and she didn't answer him and the others began exchanging glances. 

"Adora, this time we are nor giving you a choice, you are going to talk since it has to do with them, we cannot just let this go, I am sorry," Kyris said and she looked at them as they stared at her and her eyes trembled when Alix looked back at her with disappointment in his eyes or so he thought. 

"If you can't tell me, I don't want to see you again or you taking part in this fight, I will do everything on my own, for whatever you have so far, thank you," he said as he bowed his head and Adora flinched. 

"Alix..." Dral mumbled and Adora's father lowered his head as he looked at the two. 

"Adora..." the queen mumbled and the girl exhaled deeply as tears came to her eyes and she lowered her head and gritted her teeth. 

"Please don't bow your head like that, just stop, all of you, please stop or I won't be..." she said as she was going down to her knees and clutched her chest and Alix looked up at her. 

"Adora..." he mumbled and she began coughing. 

"This is not good, no... not now, please..." she mumbled. 

"Why are you... Adora, what's the matter?" he asked as he noitced the fog around her got thicker and began surrounding her and the star marking appeared brightly in her eyes as the others stared at her. 

"Adora, what is it?" Ifrit asked and she stood up as her body began glowing bright and a while like thing formed around her, from the dark fog and it began slashing the ground. 

"Adora!" the king called out and she looked at them and Alix's eyes widened as he sensed the leader of the other side's presence from her and his brows furrowed. 

"What the hell is going on here, Adora?" he asked as he apporached her and one of the whipe hit him, cutting the side of his arm. 

"Alix, be careful," Eliza said as she and the others came as well and Adora glanced at them as her eyes began closing. 

"I didn't chppse this, whereever I go death follows... It's been true every since the day my mother died... It's only going to et worse, stay away, Alix..." she mumbled and his eyes widened as he looked at her and he clutched his chest and his eyes glowed a little as he sensed the pain she was feeling. 

'What is this development? What thell is going on? I feel like my bond to her is stronger than before,' he thought and his eyes began glowing brighter when he heard the leader of the other side voice. 

"That voice, who is it?" Aerav asked. 

"We heard it earlier, it's the voice of their leader..." Ayden responded. 

"But, how is it coming from Adora?" Sarah asked. 

"What the hell is going on here?" Serina asked as she looed at Kyris, who was staring at Adora. 

"Why?" the king asked. 

"Is that the king? Your daughter is within my grasp, she has always known it and has been successful many times in fighting me off but with time things change, she is no match for me, soon enough..." the voice said and the king gasped as they saw the fog grasp Adora's body with a figure forming behind her. 

"Everything is going the way I want it to, how do you think she will do this time? Will she be able to fight me off?" he asked and Adora's body began glowing brighter as tears ran down her cheek. 

"Move or you are going to get hurt..." she mumbled as she felt the grasp on her getting tighter by the second. 

"How is this possible?" Xemon asked and the king gritted his teeth and the queen glanced at her. 

'How much more are you going to endure, Adora? I am sorry, I am sorry," Alix said and Adora glanced at him as he was approaching her with the whip, cutting a few part of him and her eyes widened. 

"You did nothing wrong, don't apologize, please... Stop... Stop, Alix!" she shouted. 

"You have been enduring long enough, that's enough now, Adora... No more, you made a promise to me once, please remember it, I am not angry, we can talk about this later, but fight it... I will protect you, no matter what, whether you want me to or not...." he said as she cried while looking at him. 

At the same time, she remembered the promises she made to him, while the fog was covering her body and he looked at her as did the others and she began seeing blurry and Alix's eyes narrowed as he lowered his head and clenched his right fist and a little bit of red energy began around his right hand.
