Rise of the Malactric Heir

"I- I don't feel so good," Adora said as she walked into her room, panting and about to fall.

"Are you okay?" someone asked from behind her, and she turned around to see Vellon standing by the couch.

"Get out," she said, and he laughed.

"You don't look so good," he said as he walked toward her and was about to touch her face but she pushed his hand away.

"Don't touch me, Velllon," she said, and he sighed.

"You're still so stubborn, it's cute," he said as someone knocked on the door. Her eyes widened as Alix entered, but Vellon had already left.

"A- Alix," she sighed, and he smiled.

"I couldn't help but come here, my senses are off the charts, my body is changing, and my powers are coming forward on their own, thanks to you, of course, also princess, you don't look too well," he said.

"Don't worry about me, Alix, I am perfectly fine, I am glad things are turning around for you, I hope you master all of your powers with time and whatever they may be, you may not see it yet, but you are special," she replied as she sat on the bed, feeling a little weak.

"Thank you for those words, my lady, good night, take care," he said as he walked away, and she scoffed as she laid back on the bed.

"That brat... I'm not going to bother anyone," Adora thought as she fell asleep.

In the morning Adora woke up knowing that if something happened, she would be unable to fight; even though she wished to stay a little longer, they had to return home because there were more pressing matters to attend to.

The princess forced herself out of bed and went to freshen up; once she was done, the girl dressed, packed her belongings and went down to the dining hall, where everyone was already waiting.

"Good morning, guys," she said, lowering her head.

"Adora, would you like to eat breakfast here or on the train?" Nina asked and the princess sighed.

"On the train, your highness," Adora apologized, and the prince smiled.

"Don't apologize, you guys did well, thank you, and please come back for holidays or something," he replied, and she smiled.

"We will, come on guys, let's go,' she said as she walked away, and they followed her.

Upon arriving at the train, they went in and Adora sat down on the couch then the maid brought in their breakfast.

"Adora," Nina said as the train doors closed and it began to move.

"Are you certain you don't want to stay a little longer and do some shopping?" Adora questioned.

"Not me," Alix replied.

"We already went, earlier yesterday, it's okay Adora, we can leave now," Liza replied, and Adora smiled as the train took off and they all sat down at the dining table for breakfast.

'I feel bad, but I'll be back soon, there's still so much to do, and I'll bring them with me, we have other places to go,' Adora thought.

"I can tell you're tense, and it's starting to bother me," Alix mumbled.

"I said I'm fine, let it go," she replied, and he sighed before turning to face Kyris.

"What's the matter with her?" Kyris mumbled unable to figure out what was wrong, Adora then sighed as she drank her coffee.

'I'm changing a lot, I'm going to meet with that guy who seems to know a lot about me, he even followed me around, and when he showed up, so did the scroll,' Alix thought.

"Where is Cameron, guys?" Adora asked.

"Don't worry Adora, he's fine, the prince had him moved into the train early this morning, he's still in a coma," Olivia smiled.

"I hope he wakes up soon; I'd like to know what happened to him that night," she said.

"I'd like to know the same thing," Olivia said. "Perhaps he saw someone other than Vellon, like the guy who appeared out of nowhere and was about to attack you but Vellon got rid of him in some way."

"If I can get more information, I'll be able to figure out who is doing all of this," Adora said. "For now, I need to let the LARS agents handle it; I want you guys to focus on the tournament; your next opponents will not be like the ones you have fought so far; they will put up a fight."

"We can do it," Alix said.

"Alix, don't forget that you'll be fighting the captain; if he loses to you, it'll be both good and bad because your name will shine and you'll draw a lot of attention to yourself," Eliza replied, and Alix sighed.

"Eliza is right, things can quickly go south in these matches, believe me, you might catch the eyes of the monsters within the tournament and that will not be good no matter which way you look at it," Liza said.

"It doesn't matter; as long as you guys fight with confidence and don't be a wuss, you'll be fine; don't let them pick on you," Adora said, and they all looked at her.

"What?" she asked, lowering her head and sighed.

"What's bothering you, Adora?" Olivia inquired.

"Nothing; I'm going to my quarters; please don't disturb unless you need something or we arrive," she said as she stood up.

"Hey, I want to ask you something this time, be honest with me, the enemy wants to bring destruction, that's clear, is your father just going to stand by and watch it happen?" Isabella inquired, and Adora glared angrily at her.

"Isabella!" Olivia yelled.

"Quiet, Isabella, maybe you should ask your father what he is doing, he is just sitting on the chair in parliament and watching, don't piss me off Isa," Adora replied as the girl clenched her fists.

"Isabella, you were never like this, what's going on with you?" Olivia asked and the girl sighed.

"You can tell me all of that because you have tremendous power behind you," Isa said.

"Have I ever used it on you or anyone else, Isa?" she asked coldly.
