Rise of the Malactric Heir

After exiting the castle, they exchanged glances, then Adora looked at the king after his son held onto her hand.

"Well, this is it for now," the king said.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing both of you soon, definitely make time," she replied, and the king smiled.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word, you should know that by now," the king assured Adora, and she sighed.

"Yeah, I know, believe me, I do, take care, both of you, and if anything happens, please call me," she replied, and the king smiled before turning to look at Vince, who was holding Adora's hand.

"I promise, Adora, I will do that," the king said, and Alix looked at him.

"Good, now it's time for us to go, it's getting late, I will see you both soon, bye," Adora said as she kissed Vince on the cheeks and he smiled then released her hand, and she winked at him as they got into the cars and drove to the station in time to catch the train.

They arrived at the station after a short drive, then got out of their cars and took their bags.

"Well, this is it, guys, thank you," Adora said to the drivers, who smiled at them before leaving for the train, but first they had to show their tickets by the boot before boarding their section of the train.

After boarding the train, they door locked and they glanced at each other.

"We had a lot of fun here, despite getting into trouble, I still enjoyed the trip," Sarah said.

"That's true, so did I; shall we stay in the same rooms we did when we first boarded the train?" Ayden inquired.

"I think that would be best; we're already comfortable in them," Alix replied, and the others agreed.

"Alright then," Adora said, and they went to their room to put their belongings down. At the same time, the train began moving, and they smiled as it took off quickly, and Adora sat on her bed in her room with a sigh, looking at the photo she secretly took with the king, and Vince then smiled and placed her phone away, hoping that nothing would happen to them.

"Adora, I came to check in on you, are you okay?" Nina asked as she entered the girl's room and Adora looked at her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks for asking Nina," she replied before the girl smiled and exited Adora's room, and Adora laid back on the bed placed her headphone on, and began listening to music with her eyes closed.

They were on the train for more than two and a half days before arriving home.

When the train arrived at the station, they all grabbed their belongings and exited, only to discover that their mage had dispatched a few drivers, who were waiting on the platform for their arrival.

"Your highness," the four drivers bowed as Adora sighed.

"Good afternoon guys, thank you for coming," she said and they smiled then took their bags.

"You are welcome," Adora's driver replied as they approached the cars and noticed the sun had already begun to set.

"Guys, take all of them home," Adora said and Alix looked at her.

"Will we see you tomorrow for training?" Alix asked.

"We won't train tomorrow, but you can all come by the castle, take tomorrow off without any training, I have things to do as well," Adora said. "I would like it if you guys can come for lunch by the castle tomorrow if that's okay," Adora added.

"That's fine with us, see you, tomorrow princess," Ayden replied before getting into their cars and driving away.

Adora was on her way home with Zack and Zavis, while Yan went to his apartment with Nina and the others went home.

When Alix arrived at his apartment, he noticed his bike parked outside, then smiled and noticed the bakery was still open, and when one of the bakery employees saw him, she smiled.

"Your favorite staff is back," the young girl said as Sally exited the building and saw Alix standing in front of his apartment building.

"Alix," she said as she approached him and he smiled.

"I see you're fine, Sally," he replied, and she smiled.

"I'm glad you're okay, you look great, you seem a little different, I guess the last few months have changed you," she added.

"You could say it did in a variety of ways," he replied, and she sighed in relief and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come over for dinner today, Alix; this place is now open until 8 p.m. every day, and I've hired a few more staff members," she said.

"That's great, I'll come by just let me take my things in the apartment," he replied.

"All right," she said, and he went to his apartment, leaving Sally to attend to her customers.

When Alix entered his apartment, he turned on the lights, put his belongings in his living room, and then returned to Sally's.

"Alix, catch," Sally said as she tossed something to him, and when he looked at it, he realized it was the key to his bike.

"A castle worker dropped it off a few hours ago," she explained.

"Thank you, Sally," he replied, and she smiled. He sat down by a table, and Sally brought him food that she had prepared and sat down to chat with him.

"Frappuccino, thanks," he said as he took a sip from it then sighed.

"It's good," he said and she smiled.

"Thank you, we have a lot of different things on the menu, the last few months have been busy, business is booming, and I am happy, are you okay Alix?" s he inquired.

"Yeah, I'm fine, and I'm glad things are going well for you, Sally," he replied, taking a pastry to eat.

"You should eat proper food, you are a growing young man," she said.

"I'll eat this for dinner, it's good," he replied, and she chuckled.

"I guess not everything about you has changed, the new you is good," she remarked, to which he scoffed.

"That's good to know, in a way, I guess," he replied while having his frappuccino and Sally sighed in relief.
