Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora took Alix and the others to the living room and they all sat down, then a few of the maids approached Adora and she looked at them and they smiled then bowed their heads.

"Your Highness, so you need anything?" one of the maids asked and Adora smiled at her.

"Just get us some snacks, please, it seems as though we have quite a few things to discuss today," she responded and the girl nodded then left with the other maids.

Adora sat down and she looked at Alix, who was sitting opposite her and he smiled at her then she scoffed.

"So, what is going on?" she asked and they looked at each other and Adora's brows furrowed.

"Hey, oh? What's going on here?" Ifrit asked as he walked into the living room and Adora glanced at him.

"You all look quite serious, I see the king and the others had their hands full with something as well," Ifrit added.

"We wanted to talk to Adora about something that happened last night," Alix said as Ifrit sat beside him then sighed.

"I see, what is it that happened when we weren't with you guys?" Ifrit asked and Alix sighed.

"Something happened last night, it was weird and I don't understand it, none of us understood it and it had us a little confused," Alix responded and Adora's eyes narrowed as she looked at him. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡．𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I see, so that's why you guys are looking a bit serious, tell me what exactly happened?" she asked and Alix glanced at her.

"Fine, I will tell you what happened, pay attention," Alix responded and Adora smiled at him then nodded.

"You two... Well go on, we will see how we can help in any way, maybe we know something," Ifrit said and Alix chuckled.

"I hope that you guys do, well I will get startled," Alix replied and Ifrit nodded.

Alix and the others began telling Adora and Ifrit what happened the night before and what they saw, her brows furrowed as she listened to him.

Adora lowered her head a little and she glanced at Alix, who was still talking and the others helped her to explain as well and she exhaled deeply as Ifrit glanced at her.

"I see, well we understand what happened and I understand why you guys were so confused about it, it is indeed very weird," Adora said with her eyes down and Alix's brows furrowed as he looked at her.

"Adora, is this the first time you have heard of this?" Alix asked and she looked at him then his eyes narrowed and she scoffed.

"What do you mean?" she asked and Alix got up then approached her and the others looked on, without even saying a word.

At the same time, the maids entered the room with snacks as well as drinks and they placed it down on the table and Adora glanced at them, then thanked them, after which the girls left.

"You guys can eat what you want, enjoy," she said and they smiled at her then she returned her attention to Alix, who was standing close to her then he leaned forward and she pulled back a little.

"Adora, I am not a big fan of secrets," he said and her brows furrowed then she clenched her right fist and Ifrit glanced at her.

"Adora," Ifrit mumbled and they looked at the two of them then took a few snacks and began eating, as though they were watching a show.

Alix's eyes narrowed as he looked at her, staring directly into her eyes and she swallowed, seeing how intense his eyes were at the time and she sighed.

"Adora, please answer me," he said and she looked up at him then stood up and Ifrit's eyes narrowed.

"Alix..." she mumbled and at the same time the king entered the room along with the queen and they looked at them.

"What is going on here?" the king asked.

"We are just talking about the weird thing they saw last night, father, we will talk," she responded and the king smiled at them.

"Got it, I understand," he said and Alix sighed then glanced at her.

"Tell me, do you know of it?" he asked and she nodded then he sighed.

"I thought as much, go on, I am listening," Alix said and Adora looked at Ifrit, who stood up and approached her then Alix looked at him.

"All right, I will explain a bit, you guys always have a lot to talk about and I am sure there will be more in the near future, after all, most are personal," Ifrit said.

'What does he mean by that?' Alix wondered, knowing that it must have been connected to Adora and hoped to know more about it later as well.

"Alix, the energy around there, you felt it was disturbed right?" Adora asked and Alix nodded.

"Good, now this is not the first time that has happened, Alix," she responded and his brows furrowed.

"Where in the city has that happened before?" Alix asked.

"Once, near the center, but no one saw it," she responded and he exhaled deeply.

"So I was right about last night, wasn't I?" he asked and she smiled at him then placed her hand on his shoulder and he glanced at her.

"You are right, what you thought was right, it is not right, the energy there is not supposed to be like that," she responded.

"This is something she can say because a while ago, she had taken it upon herself to take care of it and find out what it meant," Ifrit added and Alix looked at Adora then sighed.

Alix didn't like the fact that she was taking so much on herself because he knew that even to her, there was only so much she could do.

"I see, so what did you find out about that? What's causing it?" Alix asked and Adora's eyes narrowed as she looked at him.

"Our enemies," she responded and Alix glanced at her.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"From the type of energy and the way it collided, it may have been a place used to transport," Ifrit responded and the others looked at each other and Alix began thinking of the way the energy in the air was and what he felt, as Adora looked at him.
