Rise of the Malactric Heir

After leaving the castle, they stood in the lawn and a few of the guards that were nearby, bowed their heads to Adora and she smiled at them, then Alix glanced at her and they all looked at the city, which was right before their eyes.

"Is it just me or does it feels weird being back?" Aerav asked.

"No, I assure you that is not just you," Sarah responded.

"I don't think the king paid much heed to us, didn't we at least look a bit suspicious?" Dral asked as he looked at them with a hood over his head and Alix chuckled.

"He knows how those around Adora are, I saw him look at you guys but he didn't ask anything since you were with us and he knew we won't bring harm to anyone, especially his daughter," Alix responded and Zack sighed then Adora patted him on his shoulder, as did Dral.

"I understand how you feel kid, but I am glad he didn't ask who I was, we will tell him that when Alix is going to tell him the truth about who he is, I think that would be better," Dral said

"I think so as well,"Kyllan replied and Zack nodded then Dral smiled at them.

"That's a good idea and I am pretty sure Adora will fully do your introduction to the king later Zack, though I am not sure he will need one, where are you staying?" Alix asked and Zack exhaled deeply then he remembered that Alix lived in an apartment by himself.

"Let me stay at your place until I can leave, if that's okay, bro?" Zack asked and Alix chuckled then Adora smiled, since she would have offered him to stay at the castle, if he had nowhere else to go.

"Fine, I will keep you at my place until it's time for you to go," Alix said and Zack laughed.

"Got it, thanks, that will help a lot, that way I will be able to handle my own business back home and in peace," Zack replied and Alix nodded.

"You are welcome, what about the rest of you? Will you guys be heading home to your families to check up on them?" Alix asked and they exchanged glances.

"I will be heading home," Sarah responded.

"So will I," Ayden said.

"Me too, it's best of they know that we are doing fine," Aerav added.

"Good, you guys should, I take it you guys will be doing the same thing as well?" Alix asked as he looked at Serina, Kyllan as well as Eliza and they smiled at him.

"Yeah, we will all be going to visit home and so on and just relax for the after," Serina responded.

"Yeah, I am sure my family has a little lecture prepared for me as well and they might come to you too, Adora, especially my brother," Kyllan said and Adora glanced at him then her brows furrowed and she sighed.

"Let them come, I an handle them pretty well, no need to worry about that," She replied and he scoffed.

"Adora, I will be visiting a friend as well and I will be back later," Eliza said and Adora smiled then patted her on her shoulder and nodded.

"It's fine, take your time and have some time to yourself," She replied and Eliza smiled brightly then thanked her since she was quite pleased.

Adora turned to Yan and Nina and they looked at her then her eyes narrowed as she looked at them and both of them smiled at her.

"So, what are you two up to?" Alix asked as he placed his hand on Adora's shoulder and she glanced at him.

"We are going to hang out for a bit in the city, take in the fresh air of home, it's been a long time, almost feels too long, doesn't it" Yan asked.

Alix smiled a little as he thought about it then exhaled deeply as he looked up at the sky and at the same time, Adora looked at him and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Yeah, you are right, that's exactly how it feels," he responded.

"Also, guys we have to take a look around and see if any of them are here, we have to check each point they were spotted here in the city," Alix said.

"Yeah and we will, we will be sending some people as well, we have to start the main plan," Adora replied and the others agreed, since they knew the final part was about to get started and they wanted to at least have a good time together, since they didn't know what was going to happen next.

"Guys, maybe, we should actually have a welcome back party," Ayden said and they all laughed and he grinned. ｂｅ𝚍𝚗ｏｖｅ𝚕．𝚗𝚎𝚝

Dral left staring at Alix, seeing how they were together, then looked at all of Alix's friends before looking at Adora and a bright smile appeared on his, feeling pleased and relieved upon what he was seeing, knowing that Alix had come a long way.

"Maybe we will, you guys can invite your close friends and any family member you want, it's not a bad idea, now is it?" Alix asked as he glanced at Adora and she looked at him.

"No, it's not," she responded.

"It's not, it's actually a pretty good idea, we deserve the rest as well," Eliza said and the others agreed with them then Alix scoffed.

"Fine, if that's what you guys want then we will schedule when and we will prepare it together, you are right, we all deserve this, so, is that okay with everyone?" Kyris asked and Serina smiled at him.

"Yeah," they responded and Kyris chuckled.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" someone asked as he approached them and at the same time.

Alix turned around to see who it was, and the person threw a blade at him and the others flinched but he dodged it then grabbed onto the handle and spun it around.

"Nice, you have grown, I hardly recognize any of you guys with how much changes has happened so far," the person said as he approached him and Kyris smiled then he smiled at waved at them, for the person before their eyes, was Xemon.

"Xemon," Kyris said.

"Hey, bro, I heard you guys were back so I came to take a look for myself and I have to say that I am quite pleased with what I am seeing," Xemon replied.

"Even if you weren't I am not sure it would have mattered, but it's okay," Kyris said and Alix chuckled and the others smiled as did Xemon.

"Well, whatever, I just wanted to say, welcome home," he replied and they all smiled then thanked him as he glanced at everyone there.
