Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Rest assured, this is not sympathy Alix, have you unlocked any new powers recently?" she asked, and he sighed.

"Unfortunately, I believe I will never know my full potential and what I am capable of doing unless I am in danger; perhaps then they will come out," he responded.

"Don't act like it's a bad thing; it isn't; that's actually good," she said, and he looked at her perplexed.

"That's a common way for people's power to manifest itself; stop worrying, who do you think you are? an ancient, extremely powerful extinct race?" she questioned.

"I don't believe I am that powerful," he replied.

"Your simplicity is going to kill me, you're quite easy to please, aren't you?" She asked as she leaned in closer, and he smiled as he pulled back.

"It's not difficult to please me," he replied, and she sighed as her eyes began to glow and she opened her hair.

"Are you going back to rest or do you intend to spend the night with me?" she asked.

"The last option doesn't seem so bad," he replied and she punched him on the arm.

"You seem fine despite being cold," he said as she looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you, I'm glad you don't hate me," she said.

"Why would I hate you when you're the one forcing me to find a purpose?" he questioned.

"Listen, even if things go bad, I doubt I'll leave your side," he said, then stood up and she sighed.

"Perhaps I can become his purpose to survive as well, along with the truth, I figured out what the hell you are but cannot tell you, I will force you to see the truth behind those memories," she thought as she stood up.

"I'm going back to the castle now, good night," she said. "Wait a minute, come too, no training," she added.

"Huh? wait..." he shouted as she grabbed his arm and dragged him back to the castle with her.

"Are you gentle at all?" he asked as they returned to the castle, and she winked at him.

"Where were you two?" Eliza questioned as they passed by the living room where she was relaxing.

"I just finished making his night better," she replied, and Alix smiled nervously as Eliza stared at them like a raging bull.

"What? Are you insane?" Eliza asked as she approached them and was about to touch Alix when Adora grabbed her arm and she looked at the princess, who looked as if she was about to kill Eliza.

"Guys, seriously, calm down," he said.

"I told you not to get chummy with my student, nothing happened between us, but I am not joking," Adora said coldly, and Eliza smiled nervously as the girl let go of her hand, and sighed.

"Go to your bed now," Adora said, causing Alix to jump.

"Alright, good night you two," he said before leaving, and Eliza pouted.

"Good night, Eliza," Adora said.

"Fine, good night," she replied, and the girls went to their respective rooms.

"Man, I'm really tired, I don't feel so good," Adora reflected as she returned to her room and decided to take a bath.

After she finished, the girl changed into her nightgown and lay back on the bed, feeling a little dizzy.

"Can you hear what I'm saying?" She inquired as a mark appeared on her chest and began to rotate while glowing orange before stopping and she smiled.

"I can hear you now, and I can tell you're not feeling well, Adora. I recommend that you rest because you have exhausted yourself recently," it responded and she smiled.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I want to sleep, I'll close the seal again in the morning," she said.

"Fine, have it your way, good night Adora, sweet dreams," it replied as she wrapped herself in the blanket and fell asleep.

When Adora awoke the next morning, her entire body was in pain.

"Good morning," she replied, "I am unable to move properly."

"I thought that might happen, let me warm your body up a little, relax too," it said as she braced herself against the bed, and her body started to get warmer as she relaxed.

"Your highness," Alix said as he knocked on her door, and she smiled.

"You may enter; the door is open," she replied and he entered.

"Good morning," he said as he approached her with his eyes closed, and she laughed as she took off the blanket.

"You shouldn't move around too much," the thing advised as she rose from her bed and approached the boy.

"Alix, why are you closing your eyes?" she asked.

"Do I look like I want to be punched to death by you, huh?" he asked and she grinned as she took her mask from the head of the bed, put it on, then wrapped herself in a robe.

"If you don't want to get punched, Mr., open your eyes," she said, and he did.

"See, I'm decent; why are you here?" she asked, sitting on the bed.

"I came to invite you to breakfast, and the prince told me to tell you that he would like to talk to you in private when you have time," he replied, and she sighed.

"Being a royal can be such a pain in the ass, damn it," she said as she lowered her head, exhausted.

"Are you all right?" he questioned, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

"All right, see you later," he said as he walked away, and she leaned back in her bed, taking a deep breath and clenching her fists.

"You are right, I need to rest, I will try to do that later," she said.

"If you want, you can ask me for help, I might be inside you but not once have you ever used my powers, seal me back now," he replied and she smiled as the mark appeared back on her chest and she sealed him away.
