Rise of the Malactric Heir



Xemon noticed that there were more people with them and his eyes narrowed as Alix and the others looked at him, wondering what he was thinking and Kyris smiled at him.

"What's the matter, bro?" he asked and Xemon glanced at him and then pointed towards the ones that he didn't recognize and Kyris sighed.

"Are you confused as to who these people here might be?" Kyris asked and Xemon nodded, then Kyris looked at Adora before glancing at Alix, who shrugged.

"Well, are you guys just planning on keeping me standing here like a dummy?" his brother asked and Kyrie began thinking.

Alix thumped Kyris on his shoulder and the guy flinched then looked at him and Kyris sighed, understanding Alix was telling him not to torment his brother.

"All right, we are not going to keep you standing there like an idiot, but we are not going to say as yet, you will find out later as well, but you should know that they are our friends and means no harm, is that good enough?" Kyris asked as his brother stared at him and Xemon sighed.

"Fine, I do recognize one of them, I think, but the one in the hood, I will take your answer for now, I know you guys won't bring harm so I will wait for the answer, for now, you guys have to be more careful though, got it?" he asked and they exchanged glances.

"Got it," they responded and he smiled at them then glanced at Alix and Adora then his brows furrowed.

When Alex noticed that Xemon was looking at them, he smiled at him and Xemon's brows furrowed.

"You guys sure are hard to figure out at times, I am just going to get going with my work, I seem to have a lot more of that lately and that's irritating," Xemon said and Alix smiled at him.

"Well, a lot of things are happening lately, which is literally the cause of all of this, we just have to handle it all as fast as possible and in the proper way or nothing will change," Alix replied and Xemon nodded, knowing that Alix was right about that.

"Yeah, you are right about that, we have to handle this situation with much care, it's sort of delicate, I see you have all grown these past months, it's nice, I will catch you guys later," he said as he walked away then waved at them and Adora exhaled deeply.

"I see even he has changed a bit, hasn't he?" Alix asked and Kyrie glanced at him and then chuckled.

"Well, a lot has changed lately, especially people involved with all that is going on so maybe he has, who knows, shall we head to where we want to go now, it's getting late?" Kyris asked and they looked at each other.

"Yeah, we should, also, Adora and Dral, you guys are coming with me, I will show Zack my apartment as well, is that okay or do you have somewhere you need to be as well, Adora?" Alix asked as he turned to look at her and she glanced at him.

"No, I don't have anywhere else to be right now but later, I will tag along," she responded then Alix smiled at her.

"Then, let's get going or we might end up even more late," Kyllan said and the others nodded in agreement with him.

Each of them got in the cars provided by the king and queen and they all left the castle at once to go where they needed to be at the time.

As they headed into the city, Alix looked out the window at the places they had passed and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Alix, how did you manage?" Zack asked and Alix looked at him then sighed and Adora glanced at him.

"I somehow just did, Sally was there most of the time, as well but despite that... Well, I just managed because I never really thought about it, thought about thing others would normally think about," he responded and Zack sighed then lowered his head.

"With everything that you have been through, I have to say, you are strong, Alix," he said and Alix smiled at him then thanked him and Zack glanced at Adora, who turned and looked outside.

'He has indeed been through quite a lot, more than most people and despite knowing about all that happened, yet... He is indeed strong, in more than one ways, Alix... I wish everything had been easier for you, I truly do,' she thought before sighing.

After a few minutes, they arrived in front of Sally's place, then Alix peeked outside and saw that her place was still booming with business and Alix scoffed as they exited the car after the driver parked it.

"Seems like things are going well for her," Dral said and Alix glanced at him then smiled before patting him on his shoulder.

"Yeah, it does, she seems to be very pleased as well," Alix replied as they looked at her from outside.

"Well, shall we go inside?" Alix asked and Dral looked at him before lowering his head.

"All right, let's see what she says," Dral responded and Alix nodded as he walked away.

"You heard, him, let's get a move on," Zack said as he followed him as did Adora and Dral went along with them as well.

"Sally," Alix said as he entered and her brows furrowed then she turned around and her face lit up when she saw Alix and Adora.

"Alix," she said as she approached him then hugged him tightly and Alix glanced at her then patted her on her back and she sighed before rising off of him.

"You guys are really back, I am glad you are all safe and are in one piece, welcome home," she said with a smile and Alix chuckled.

"I am back," he replied and she smiled at Adora.

"We have a lot to talk about," she said.

"Yeah, I know, so do well, also, there is another thing that we brought, another surprise," Alix replied as he took Dral's hoodie off and her eyes widened as she looked at him.

"I am back, my wife," he said and Alix as well as Adora and Zack left staring at them, since they were still not used to it and Sally was in shock, wondering what was going on.
