Rise of the Malactric Heir

Everyone looked at them before exchanging glances and Adora squeezed Alix's clothes tightly and he could feel a part of her trembling and his brows furrowed, wondering what more was bothering her and he exhaled deeply before patting her on her back. 

Tears came to Adora's eyes as she thought about a few things and her father smiled as he looked at her and she lowered her gaze, not letting go of Alix and he smiled at her. 

'There is definitely something else bothering her but, who would have thought that Adora would be the one clinging onto me one day, this is quite different from how our relationship, first started off,' he thought and Ifrit lanced at her as the demon lord stood up. 

"Adora," the demon lord said and she glanced at him, while holding onto Alix. 

"Is there a bad side effect to the connection, especially with him in it?" he asked and Adora lowered her gaze. 

"No, there is no need to worry about anything else, it's all fine," she responded and his eyes narrowed. 

"Oh? Is that so?" he asked with a smirk on his face and her eyes narrowed as she looked at him. 

'He sees quite far, doesn't he?' she wondered as she yawned nd began feelin a bit sleepy. 

"I am tried," she mumbled. 

"Huh? But it's only nearing midday," Alix said and she sighed. 

"I see, then I better use something to wake me up," she replied and his brows furrowed as he looked at her. 

"Adora, is there something else to this?" he asked and she glanced at him then smiled. 

"No, it's all going to be fine, if we win," she responded as she stared at him. 

"We are going to get rid of him, no matter what I have to do, I will do it, I promise you that," he said. 

"Alix, that's a strong promise," Dral replied and he looked at him. 

"Well, I know and I am not overconfident, I don't even know what the enemy is fully capable of, I am saying this because I am willing to do what it takes, I don't care who he is, even if he was to be my dad, I will kill," he said with a piercing look in his eyes and Dral flinched, for he had never quite seen Alix like that before and he was doing it to protect that which was dear to him now. 

Alix had something to now call family and friends to cherish and he had no intention of letting anyone take any of that from him, not now or ever and he was ready to pay whatever the price was, if it meant he would be able to protect them. 

"I understand, very well," Dral replied and Alix smiled at him as he patted Adora on her back and a slightly smile appeared on her face. 

'He is warm, this feels quite comfortable as well, I want to stay,' she thought with a sigh.

"Well, we better prepare ourselves for the worst, especially certain people, I have to get going now," the demon lord said as he was about to leave and he and Adora glanced at each other and her eyes narrowed then she scoffed. 

'This bastard...' she thought before raising off of Alix and he looked at her. 

"Are you okay now?" he asked with a smile on his face and she nodded. 

"Yeah, I am fine now, thank you for that, Alix," she responded and he patted her on her head and she began thinking about a few things and he looked at her. 

"What are you thinking about now?" he asked. 

"I want to go places, who knows what will happen next," she responded. 

"Where do you want to go?" he asked then a smile appeared on his face. 

"Want to go on a date tonight then?" he asked and she left staring at him, as did the others and he smiled at her. 

'He got bolder, he can be quite blunt at times, it's scary but... This is the Alix that I love,' she thought with a bright smile on her face then she nodded and he chuckled. 

'All right, love birds, we have more work to do, we will get going," Xemon said. 

"Also, Adora, can I borrow the team members if that's okay, there are things to do?" the king asked and she looked at them. 

"Yeah, that's fine, they were going to volunteer anyways," Alix responded and the king nodded. 

"Good, we are taking a few extra precautions when the citizens are concerned, if only we had enough time to do everything," the king said and Adora sighed, as did Alix. 

"Well, we will be able to handle and protect what needs to be protected, hopefully, don't worry too much," Alix replied and the king smiled then patted him on his shoulder. 

"Thanks kid, normally we are the ones that were supposed to be comforting you guys but it's the other way around this time," the king said and they laughed. 

"We will do our best to help them, Alix, you guys should just relax a bit," Ayden said and Alix smiled at them. 

"Thanks, but we will help as well, the date will be until night anyway, I will go to the mechas, they are being deployed today," Alix replied and Ayden sighed then nodded. 

"All right, I get it, do what you guys need to, we have sat back for long enough as well," Ayden said. 

"He is right, we didn't contribute much and we didn't train so hard to waste time, we will do what we have to do as well, contribute to this as much as I can," Aerav added and Adora smiled at them and the way they were with Alix. 

"You sure everything is out now?" Ifrit asked and Adora glanced back at him and her eyes narrowed then she patted im on his head and his eyes narrowed. 

"Like I said, there is no need to worry, focus on yourself now, Ifrit, I want you to do that," she responded and he exhaled deeply. 

"Adora, are you coming?" Alix asked and she nodded then they left to go to the mechas, while the others went to do their works as well.
