Rise of the Malactric Heir

"If you are tired, you can go home," Kyris said as he looked at their tired faces.

"I am not going home; we'll wait for him," Ayden said, and Elijah smiled.

"You have all grown attached to your teammates now, which is good," Elijah said as Sarah braced her head against Ayden's shoulder and he smiled.

"You can go home if you're that tired," he said and she scoffed.

"No, I will wait as well," she replied, closing her eyes.

"I assume Adora just contacted you?" Liza questioned, and Nina smiled.

"Yes, she did, she wanted to know how they are doing, you have to expect her to be a little worried, maybe she saw the match, I am not sure," she said.

"If she didn't see the match, then something must be wrong, come on, it's Adora we are talking about she is so unpredictable, it scares me," Liza replied and they laughed.

"She's fine; that's what makes her a strong leader," Yola said.

"You have grown fond of her, haven't you? That's not natural; I heard Leon praising her as well; no wonder some girls are envious of her "Liza said, and Eliza chuckled.

"That's their problem, they're nothing like Adora, no one is, she's not perfect but she will do whatever she can to help even if she's rough, in the end, she gets the result she wanted," Eliza explained.

"Guys, I will see you all another day; tell Alix I said get well soon and good night," Yola said.

"Good night," they replied, and he left with his sister.

"This is taking a long time," Lila observed.

"Of course it will, they don't have minor injuries," Elijah replied as they looked at Kyris, who was still lost in his thoughts.

"How come you're lost?" Elijah asked, Kyris looked at him and smiled.

"I was just thinking about something," he explained.

"Hmm, okay if you say so," Elijah said as Aerav's opponent approached Lila and she grabbed him while Aerav stared nervously at him.

"Guys, this is my boyfriend, Jace," Lila said.

"We know his name," Aerav replied, and Jace smiled.

"I can feel your tension, relax, it was a fair fight, and you won, simple as that," Jace said.

"See, we are quite open as well," Lyzon replied, and they both smiled.

"That's good, that's really good that you don't want to kill the person you lost to because it sure felt like you wanted to kill me when we were fighting," Aerav said and they laughed as Lyzon patted him on the shoulder.

"Relax, it's fine with us," Lyzon said, "but I am curious to see how things turn out between Alix and Soren, they had it out for each other in that ring."

"I would like to see how that turns out as well," Kyris said.

"You guys sure are loud," Soren said as he approached them with Alix, and everyone turned to stare at them.

"Let me ask at once, to clear the room, do you two intend to murder each other?" Eliza questioned, and Alix tilted his head in confusion.

"Huh? why?" Alix asked and Soren smirked.

"They want to know if we really want to kill each other because of how we were going at each other inside the ring," Soren explained.

"It was just a match," Alix explained.

"You can be quite daring at times," Ayden replied, and Alix smiled.

"Don't worry, we don't want to kill each other, it was just a match, we did our parts, doesn't mean we have to be actual enemies after," Soren said, and they all breathed a sigh of relief because they didn't want to see another fight between the two.

"Good to hear, you two will never fight again, we forbid it," Lila said, and they laughed.

"Don't worry, we won't," Soren said, "but I do have a question for you guys."

"What is it?" Kyris asked.

"When will the princess return?" he questioned, and Kyris sighed before turning to face Nina.

"I wish I could give you an answer; she was supposed to return tomorrow, but it could be longer; let me see if I can contact her," Nina said as she dialed Adora's number and placed the phone on speaker, waiting for the princess to answer.

"Hello," Adora answered, coughing.

"Are you all right?' Nina questioned.

"Is it Nina?" Xemon asked.

'Yeah, is everything all right, Nina?' she asked.

"Soren would like to know when you'll be back," she replied.

"To be honest, I'm not sure," she admitted.

"I am worried about you; did you get any information?" Nina inquired.

"Nope, not yet," Adora said.

"I see," Nina replied.

"Tell Soren I will come to meet him when I get back, okay?" she asked.

"He heard you," Nina responded.

"Good, and you guys, if you're all hearing me, I want to say Congratulations on winning, I guess we'll celebrate when I get back," Adora said, and they smiled.

"Got it, you owe us all," Alix said.

"Yeah, I know, catch you guys later, rest up, all of you," she said before hanging up and Nina stretched off for she was very tired.

"I think it's time for all of us to go home; I'm hungry and tired," Yan said.

"Yeah, let's go," Kyris said as he stood up. "Alix, I had Nina send your bike home because you can't possibly ride it; we'll take you home."

"All right, thanks," Alix replied, and everyone went home.

While Alix was on his way home with Kyris in his car, Kyris noticed Alix looking at his right arm with a worried expression.

"Are you all right?" Kyris questioned.

"I am fine, just feel a little strange," he replied.

"Well, if it's pain you're feeling, you'll be fine, just relax and talk to the princess when she gets back, you guys did more than well today," Kyris said as he arrived at Alix's apartment and the young man got out of his the car.

'Thank you, and good night," Alix concluded.

"Good night, kid," Kyris replied then left.
