Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora's mother taught her most of what she needed to know about the Malactrics when she was a child, and she has been fascinated by them ever since, despite the fact that most people feared them, but growing up Adora knew that only those who were weaker and felt threatened by them, which were many, would hardly ever speak about them.

The princess did everything she could to learn more about them, and she did, noting down every detail about their past in her head, knowing about their cultures and how they would interact with others.

Despite being the most feared they were also magnificent and their kingdom was amazing except now there was no sign of that sacred land, well that was only to normal eyes.

Adora and the majority of the people knew the land was still there, but it was now known as something else.

A place that could not be found so easily, and through her research, she discovered her own connection to them and why she was different from others; she was more connected to them than others realized, and there was a part of her that had yet to be unleashed that she did not like at all.

That night Adora slept without having many nightmares.

When Adora awoke the next morning, she stretched and went to freshen up.

After a while, when the girl finished, she got dressed and looked at herself in the mirror where she saw that her eyes were getting better and she sighed even though she was not worried about it, she was relieved that it was getting better at a faster rate than she expected.

The girl then left her room and went downstairs to the living room, where she noticed the king coughing and she looked at him.

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

"Good morning," they replied as she approached the king and he looked at her before smiling.

"Are you sick?" she asked.

"It's just a cold, nothing serious, so don't worry about it; you have other things to deal with, if I recall correctly," he said, and she sighed.

"Good morning, guys," Ayden said as he entered the living room and sat next to Alix.

Adora replied, "Good morning."

"Will he really be okay, or is he just saying that?" The queen sighed after Adora asked her.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you, he'll be fine, I think it's the doing of ice cream, he loves it a little too much and would eat it whenever he feels like it," the queen responded, and the king smiled nervously as Adora chuckled.

"If I remember correctly, someone else has the very same habit, your highness," Alix said and they looked at Adora and Alix smirked then she smiled as the queen sighed.

"Like father, like daughter, they love ice cream a little too much, she got to love it because he kept feeding it to her when she was a child," the queen replied, and the others laughed.

"Lay off me a little bit, it's nice to have, am I right Adora?" When the king asked, she scoffed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, are you not going to side with me?" he asked.

"I don't really get sick with it, I eat it in portions, we both know our limits but...." she responded and he scoffed.

"I don't even want to hear it, you were supposed to side with me," he said and she shrugged before sitting down and the others laughed.

"Adora, I have news," Ayden said and she looked at him.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I got the information I needed from my mother, she was very generous and says to thank you for her," he responded and she smiled.

"There is no need for that, you know that, so what did she give you?" she asked.

"I would say little, but enough," he responded. "You see, my brother is after someone who is working with the enemies, he was paid a lot, but for some reason he keeps slipping, he can't get to his target, every time he tries, his target always slips away from him and he isn't even giving him a chance to get away."

"I see, that's helpful; so you didn't get a name?" she inquired.

"No, I would have gotten it, but mom doesn't know, she hardly even checks in on what the others are doing because they usually give her a hard time, it's not easy dealing with them, let alone asking about their clients, she would have done it for you," he replied, and she sighed then smiled.

"It's fine, I'm happy with this amount, it doesn't matter who, I now know why we kept bumping into him, it makes perfect sense now," she said and he nodded.

"Your brother is stronger than he appears; he rarely misses his targets, am I right?" Alix inquired, and Ayden sighed as he looked at him.

"You are correct that he is stronger than he appears, but he never misses, and now that he has, I think I know what his expression will be," Ayden replied, and Alix sighed.

"He'll be angrier than ever, and he might not stop until he achieves his goal, which can be dangerous when you let those things get to your head," Alix said and Adora exhaled deeply.

"I don't think we need to worry about that though, right Adora?" Ayden asked and she glanced at him.

"No, that is not our problem; we have other things to deal with, which is why we are here; also, I am very hungry right now and need to eat," Adora responded, and Ayden chuckled as the maids entered the living room with a trolley of food and drink for them.

"There you go, start eating, you're probably the person who eats the least amount of food here, I'm glad you're hungry, eat," the king said as Adora stared at him and Alix chuckled, then she looked at him and he winked at her before she looked away from him and they all took their food to start eating because they were all hungry.
