Rise of the Malactric Heir

The next morning, when Adora woke up, she felt a warm hand around her waist and her brows furrowed, then she looked and she saw it was Alix and a gentle smile appeared on her face when she saw how peaceful he looked during his sleep and she sighed.

"You look so peaceful, you look as if you have no problem in the world, it is a look that suits you though, you..." she mumbled as she stared at him, then lowered her head and gritted her teeth as a few thoughts were going through her mind and she sighed.

"If only..." she mumbled and at the same time, Alix pulled her closer to him and she flinched, then looked at him and his eyes opened as he looked at her and how close she was to him.

"As if, what?" he asked and her cheeks flushed as she stared directly into his eyes and his eyes narrowed as he looked at her then placed his hand firmly against her waist and she flinched once more.

"This sure is comfortable, good morning, Adora," he said and she glanced at him and he smiled at her.

"Good morning, Alix," she replied, then he leaned in and both of them kissed each other on their lips and she gripped his shirt tightly then they looked at each other and he smiled at her.

"How long have you been up?" he asked as his brows furrowed and he wiped his eyes.

"I only woke up a few minutes ago, not long, did you sleep well, Alix?" she asked and he looked at her.

"Yeah, I slept well, that I can say for sure, how about you, did you sleep well?" he asked and her eyes narrowed as she stared at him.

"Yeah, I slept well," she responded and he chuckled, then patted her on her head and her eyes widened as she stared at him.

"That's good, I am glad you were comfortable as well, do you plan on sleeping in today?" he asked and she sighed.

"That may not be such a bad idea, it sounds very tempting as well, I think that would be nice," she responded and he smiled at her then she wiped her eyes and stretched off. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"Well, do you think we actually can right about now?" she asked as she sat up and he looked at her.

"Is that what you want to do? Just relax?" he asked and she lowered her head as she thought about what is going to happen next and he sighed.

"I understand, that we can't, not as yet at least, because nothing is normal, not as yet..." he said and she glanced at him and he clenched his fist and her brows furrowed.

"Alix..." she mumbled then he placed his right hand on her and she glanced at him as he looked at her.

"Don't worry, are you going to freshen up first?" he asked as she felt the warmth of his hand then sighed before smiling.

"You are what, yeah, I am going to go first," she responded and he chuckled then nodded.

She got off of the bed and then went to freshen up and he laid back, waiting for her to finish, while thinking about a few things and his eyes narrowed.

'Now, I wonder what is going to happen next? What are they going to do next?' Alix thought before closing his eyes then he exhaled deeply as Adora was taking her bath.

'One way or the other, there is going to be a big fight one which is unavoidable for anyone,' Alix thought before yawning and stretching off a bit.

When Adora finished taking her bath, she got dressed and then exited the bathroom and that's when she saw that Alix was not in the room and her brows furrowed then she left the room and went into the living room.

"Good morning guys," she said and the others smiled at her.

"Good morning," they replied as she looked around.

"Uh... Have any of you seen Alix?" she asked and they looked at each other then Ifrit entered the living room and she looked at him as he approached her.

"Good morning," he said.

"Good morning, Ifrit," she replied and he smiled at her.

"I saw him, he went out to talk with Dral and Yaron," he said and she sighed.

"I see, thank you," she replied and he glanced at her.

"There is no need to thank me for that, but don't worry so much, Adora," he said and she smiled at him then he patted her on her shoulder.

"I will try, Ifrit, you know..." she replied and he sighed.

"I know," he said then she smiled as a few people entered the living room with their breakfasts and Adora smiled at them then they placed everything down and Adora went to find Alix so that he could come to breakfast.

"Adora, wait up, I want to talk to you for a bit," Ifrit said as he approached her as she was walking down a pathway within the city.

"Talk to me, can't it wait until after breakfast, Ifrit?" she asked and he sighed.

"Ah, yes, I just wanted to talk about a few possibilities with you and Alix, so it can," he responded and she smiled at him.

"Okay, then, come with me to look for Alix, then we will go back for breakfast," she said and he nodded and then followed her.

After a few minutes of walking, they heard an explosion and Adora looked up in the air and she saw smoke.

"What's going on over there?" she asked.

"Just to be safe, I will go with you if you want, so do you want to go take a look?" Ifrit asked and she nodded then both of them rushed towards a hill that was not far from the waterfall and after going behind it, Adora's eyes widened.

"What is going on here?" she asked and Ifrit peeked behind them and Alix glanced at Adora and Ifrit and that's when she saw that Alix's body was glowing slightly orange and Dral was with him and a crater was behind them.
