Rise of the Malactric Heir

Yaron and Dral sat down with them then they took their food and Dral smiled at Alix and Adora as he looked at them with his eyes narrowing, wondering a few things but wasn't sure whether he should even ask at the time or not.

After they began eating, Dral told Alix more things about how his people used to be in the past and what their home was like as well as a few other things, which everyone enjoyed hearing and as he spoke about how happy everyone was, Alix smiled a little and Adora glanced at him then sipped a glass of drink.

'From what I have heard, things were a bit tough because of that war as well, but, despite everything that happened in the past, they were all happy, a prosperous nation with great leaders, yet... Why?" Alix thought and Dral glanced at him, then sighed before bowing his head and Alix flinched as he looked at the guy. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, I just wanted to tell you what they were like before all of that happened and some things have not changed even after so much time has passed," Dral said and Alix left staring at him then he exhaled deeply.

"It's okay, Dral, you don't need to apologize, I am fine, in fact, I am grateful to you and Sally, if it wasn't for you two, I wouldn't be here today, you guys risked everything you had to protect me, to fulfill their wish as well, I will talk to Sally when we get back, for now, thank you, Dral, I am glad you are telling me everything you can," Alix replied and the others looked at him without saying anything as they ate their food.

'He placed a lot of effort in growing in many more ways than one, from what I know and he truly has grown a lot, especially because....' Dral thought as he glanced at Adora then at Alix and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"I see, well, I am glad that you are able to handle all of this, you have truly grown a lot and you don't have to thank me for anything, also if you ever want to, you can ask me anything about your past and your parents or people, I will answer you honestly from now on, there is no need to hide any of it now," Dral said and Alix smiled at him.

"Well, that's good to know, if I want to or need to know something, I will come to you, I will need to know more about a few things, but we can talk about that tomorrow morning, we can't waste too much time, after all," Alix replied and Dral tilted his head as he looked at Alix.

"You are right about that, then, we will talk about whatever it is you want to, in the morning since it is already quite late and you guys have had a long day," he said and Alix nodded.

Adora wiped her eyes as she glanced at Alix then she sighed since she had finished eating her food and stood up.

"Since we are going to continue this in the morning, I think I will call it a night now, it's late and it has indeed been a long day, good night guys," Adora said and they smiled at her.

"Good night," they replied with a smile as she walked away.

Alix glanced at her then Dral looked at him and Ifrit glanced at Adora with his brows furrowing before sighing.

'Why do I feel-' Alix thought with his eyes narrowing then he continued eating and talking with Dral and the others.

As they were talking, Adora went to their room and she grabbed her clothes then went to freshen up.

While taking her bath, a few things came running through her mind and she lowered her head as the water trailed down her body, then closed her eyes, relaxing her body in the process, since that was what she needed at the time.

A little while after, when she had finished taking her bath, she got dressed then exited the bathroom and got into bed.

'What the hell?' she thought before exhaling deeply and switching off the lights in the room.

"That was enough for one day, a lot was done, that's for sure, I am just going to close my eyes for now, ugh..." she mumbled as she closed her eyes.

A while after, Alix came into the room, then closed the door behind him and his eyes narrowed when he looked and saw that Adora was already asleep and he sighed before approaching her.

"Well, I guess even you are tired after all that was done today, a lot of unexpected things happen, that I must say," Alix said then covered her with the blanket and he looked at her before smiling a little.

"I am going to freshen up and get some sleep as well," he said then grabbed his clothes and went to freshen up as Adora was sleeping.

When Alix finished freshening up, he got dressed then exited the bathroom and looked at the bed.

"Look at how things have changed for everyone over time, who would have thought all of this would have happened, especially in such a short amount of time, good night, Adora," he mumbled, then got into the bed and stretched off before yawning and closing his eyes.

Later that night, while Adora was sleeping, she began flinching and she gripped the blanket tightly before flinging up from her sleep and she exhaled deeply, then her brows furrowed as she looked at the blanket, then looked at Alix's side of the bed and saw that he was not there and her eyes narrowed.

"Alix..." she mumbled as she wiped her eyes, then glanced at the blanket.

'Blanket? I didn't cover myself, was he the one that covered me with the blanket while I was sleeping?' she thought as she got out of the bed, then looked outside and her eyes widened a little when she saw that he was sitting on the back porch and she approached the door then looked at him before sighing.
