Rise of the Malactric Heir

The next morning, when Alix woke up, he saw Adora was still sleeping in his arms and he smiled at her then moved her hair from in front of her face, looking at how peaceful she looked at the time.

"I wish you can look like this all the time, Adora, you look peaceful and finally look like you are able to sleep a little well, I don't want to lose anything more in this fight," he mumbled as she hugged him tightly and he noticed the side of her eye was wet and his brows furrowed as she clutched him tightly.

"What's the matter? Are you okay?" he asked as he placed his hand on her head and a gentle smile appeared on her face as she was sleeping.

"I am fine," she responded, half asleep and he looked at her then chuckled.

"Cute... I have to get going, stay and sleep, you deserve some rest, I will handle the rest," he said before kissing her on her forehead and getting out of the bed.

Alix stretched off then went to freshen up and when he was finished, he got dressed and left the room, as Adora slept peacefully.

Alix went to the living room, where he saw the demon lord was drinking a bottle of drink, while sitting on a couch and his eyes narrowed as he looked at Alix.

"Good morning, Alix," he said and a blank expressin appeared on Alix's face.

"Good morning, how can I help you?" he responded and the demon lord's brows twitched in irritation at the way Ali was looking at him and his expression.

"What's with that look, huh?" he asked and Alix shrugged.

"What do you mean? What look?" he asked and the demon lord exhaled deeply as he stood up.

"I have a few tips for you, Alix, a lot of the others have things to handle, they are going to release those machines and close off a few places, the king is busy with Xemon and Kyris, he is using their skills, are you ready to get to work now?" he asked as he tilted his head a little to the right.

"Yeah, even I have a lot of things that I need to do and I intend to do them, but I might be a little sidetracked today," he responded as he lowered his gaze and the demon lord's eyes narrowed.

'What is he up to? What is he going to do? He looks like he is up to something,' the demon lord thought.

"Alix, good morning," Aragi said as he approached Alix and Alix glanced at him, as did the demon lord and Yan came with him as well.

"Good morning, we had a discussion last night, are you all on board?" Alix asked and Aragi smirked.

"I am good to go, I am really in the mood to trash them as well," Aragi responded with pure anger in his eyes and Alix smirked.

"Do you want to tag along as well?" Alix asked as he looked at the demon lord, who stared at them and his eyes narrowed.

"What are you up to Alix?" he asked as he got closer to him and Alix looked him directly in his eyes.

"What do you think?" he asked as he tilted his head a little to the right, with a piercing look in his eyes and his brows furrowed as the others looked at the two of them.

"A base..." Yan said and the demon lord chuckled as he looked at the few of them then he sighed.

"You guys have guts, I like that about you, I will tag along, wear a hoodie Alix, just in case, after all, you are sort of our secret and keep the usage to your abilities to a minimum, is that okay?" the guy asked and he smiled at him.

"Okay, I am fine with that, let's get going after breakfast, we have a limited amount of time and have other things to do as well," Alix responded and the demon lord nodded.

"Yeah, we can't stay too long and one more thing, how does Adora feel about this?" he asked. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝓮𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"It doesn't matter, she is doing too much as it is," Alix responded.

"He is right, it is best to keep her away from this part, especially..." Ifrit added as he came to them and Alix ptted him on his shoulder and Ifrit exhaled deeply.

"All right, I get it," the demon lord said.

"Were you really planning on leaving me behind?" Kyris asked as he approached them and Alix scoffed then he smiled.

"Come on," he said as he ripped open a similar portal to the one that the enemies had created and everyone entered then he entered at last and they all disappeared.

Later that day, when Adora woke up, she stretched off and she felt the bed beside her and when she realized Alix was ot bside her, she wiped her eyes and got up.

"Where did he go so early...." she mumbled as she flung up from the bed, when she realized that it was already midday.

'How can I possibly sleep so late? This is my first time, sleeping in like this, I am extra late, I hope everything is going fine for them with the mechs, I was supposed to help,' she thought as she rushed to go do her normal morning routine.

When Adora was finished, she went to meet with the others and noticed that Alix and a few of the others were not there and even asked around but got nothing and just took it as they were busy doing something, which they actually were.

Adora decided to go and do her work, concerning the mechas as well as a few other things, since everyone was busy and everything had to be done, just in case they were attacked.

Later that day, just before night fell, after the princes had finished doing her work and was heading back to the castle to get some rest and something to eat.

Adora was about to head into her home, when she felt a force of energy around her, pushing her down and a voice, causing her eyes to tremble as they widened and she crouched down on the ground.

"You..." she mumbled and at the same time, a portal appeared before her and she gasped and her eyes widened as she stood up immediately.

"What the hell happened here?" she asked, looking at Alix and the others, coming out of the portal and blood was splattered all over Alix and he looked up at her, with a piercing look in his eyes.
