Rise of the Malactric Heir

As they waited on the two to return, Adora lowered her head as she began thinking about a few things, including the possibilities of what may be ahead of them and she clenched her right fist and Ifrit glanced at her then grabbed onto her arm and she looked at him.

"Excuse us," Ifrit said as he walked away, pulling Adora along with him, Nina glanced at them and the others smiled then both of them left the house.

"Hey, Ifrit," she called out as they went not far behind the house, where they had a nice view before their eyes and Ifrit sighed.

"Hey, what's gotten into you?" she asked and he glanced at her with his eyes narrowing and her brows furrowed.

"Is this about what you wanted to talk about earlier?" she asked and he released her hand then sat down on the grass, she looked at him as he stared at the water, flowing by.

"In a way, yes," he responded and she sighed then sat down beside him and he looked at his reflection in the water and Adora glanced at him.

"Ifrit, what's bothering you?" she asked and he looked at her.

"I am worried about what may happen, there is a lot to lose this time, Adora, if it wasn't for you, the past..." he responded then gritted his teeth and she sighed.

"You can't be controlled by anyone now, there is no need for you to worry about your past, what's gone is gone and what's done is done, there is nothing you can do to change it, you just have to let go, I know it sounds easy but it's not, have you found your reasons to let go as yet?" she asked and he looked at her then sighed.

"I may have, also, I am not going to let it go, I was used once and then again, on the night I was sent within that one and attacked the castle, the night your mother died, that's when I met you, you saved me from being devoured by complete darkness, now because of you, I can't be used against my will ever again, but, Adora..." he responded and she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"The leader of the enemies, he was the one that summoned you before you met me and trapped you within the thing that attacked me and my mother that night, you remember his presence but he never once allowed you to see his face, did he?" she asked and he looked at her.

"No, he never allowed me to see his face all I got was the glance of the things and I already told you guys that it was what helped you guys in identifying the ones that worked close under him," he responded and she nodded.

"Yeah, that helped us as well, but the past is not the only thing bothering you, there is something else, isn't there, Ifrit?" she asked and he lowered his head then clenched his fists and her eyes narrowed.

As they were talking, Alix had finished taking his bath and he exited the bathroom then went to the balcony door and his eyes narrowed when he saw Adora and Ifrit, sitting on the grass since it was not far from the house and he noticed the concerned look on Ifrit's face as he talked to Adora.

'I wonder what they are talking about? Did something happen? If I am seeing right, Ifrit does look a bit concerned,' Alix wondered as he wiped his hair and his eyes narrowed then he exhaled deeply as he looked at Adora.

'I wonder what's going to happen next, I know it's not going to be good though, we have to leave here soon as well,' Alix thought then glanced at them before pulling the curtain and he went to change into his clothes.

After Ifrit finished talking to Adora, she exhaled deeply before smiling at him then she patted him on the shoulder and he flinched before looking at her.

"Leave the past where it is Ifrit, keep moving forward, you already found your way, your reasons, I understand and there is no need to be mad at you for anything, nothing was your fault, it was all his, it's fine," she said and his eyes widened as he looked at her as she stood up.

"You can be quite easy at times," he replied and she chuckled then lowered her head and he looked at her.

"Shall we go inside now?" she asked and he stood up then she walked away and he followed her.

'Am I seeing right or...' he thought, while looking at Adora.

After a few minutes, they arrived back at the house and the others looked at them.

Adora saw Alix sitting where she sat before and she smiled then approached him and she sat down and Ifrit sat down with Eliza and the others.

"Is everything okay with you guys?" Kyris asked and Ifrit looked at him then nodded as did Adora and Kyris smiled at them. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Good, I am glad, now shall we eat?" he asked and the others chuckled then they began taking their food since everyone was hungry and within no time, they began eating.

As they were eating, Dral who had already joined them, glanced at Adora and Alix and a gentle smile appeared on his face and he sighed, feeling a bit relieved.

"Well, guys, things are going to start moving fast, from now on, I am going to be training with Dral as well, we don't know what will happen next or what the enemy will do," Alix said.

"They can be unpredictable at times, but they will make a move, especially with what's been going on lately, things that they don't like have been happening," Dral added.

"They are on guard and the time for their plan to enact is near from everything that we have found out so far, but what it is, that we don't know exactly, which is why, we need to move, I also heard every one of their men that were encountered by Adora's team or the king has been put off the board, he also knows we are getting closer, they will make a move and soon, when we least expect it and with how he does things, it will be one that causes an uproar," Alix said and the others nodded.

The others looked at him and Kyris sighed then Dral smiled at them, since he knew that Alix was right.

"Then, shall we head back and give the others the news of Alix and start preparing which is also a part of Alix unlocking more of the seal if he wants to?" Adora asked and Dral looked at Alix with a smile and his eyes narrowed as he glanced at Adora.
