Rise of the Malactric Heir

Isabella shuddered when she heard the princess's question because she knew she couldn't answer it.

'It doesn't matter,' Isa said, scowling at Alix.

"Of course, it does, she never used it on me and I bet she didn't on you either, I see you are one person with whom I will not get along, you are selfish and ignorant, simply pathetic," Alix responded, and Isa smiled.

"I don't care what you think, the royal family is a bunch of scum except for Adora," she said.

'Well, her mother she was a different story,' Isabella said, and Adora closed her eyes.

"Everyone here says you're nice, but I don't think you're nice enough to be a part of this team, your highness I would like you to know that I don't like Isabella, I would never work with her too," Alix replied and Adora sighed.

"Unnecessary conflict, that's what I'd call this, doesn't matter, you guys have to work together, if you can't, do me a favor and leave, this goes to everyone, I don't want to hear anything about the kingdom or the enemy as long as we're on this train, am I clear?" Adora said.

'Yeah, crystal,' Alix replied as he walked away, then the princess left to her room along with Isabella.

"What the hell is going on here, guys?" Adora despises conflict; if Isa doesn't stop, she'll end up making Adora very angry, which isn't something we want to do," Nina said as Olivia lowered her head.

"I tried talking to her about her recent behavior toward Adora, but she just brushed it off; I've noticed changes within her since we left for missions," Olivia responded.

"Alix isn't going to get along with her; it sounds like he hates her from the way he spoke; did you see how he killed those men?" Liza inquired.

'Yeah, he was good,' Kyris said.

"He held his sword like a professional, swordsman," Yan said, and they smiled.

"He was not afraid of the enemy at all; he was willing to fight; he is truly growing at a rapid pace," Eliza said.

"Yeah, he might end up surpassing all of us, watch out because I think Adora might have chosen the perfect fit for her this time and there is a lot more to the boy than we can see," Yan replied as he stood up and walked away.

"Well, I hope she comes around, and I will relax as well, because you never know what we might face next," Eliza said as she stood up and sat on the couch while the others fiddled with their phones.

After several hours, it was already afternoon when they arrived home.

"Guys, we're here," Eliza announced as Adora appeared with her bags.

"Everyone is here except one, where is Yan?" Adora inquired as the train came to a halt and the doors opened.

"I am here, sorry, I slept away," he said as he approached Adora and they exited the train.

"Ah, finally home," Eliza smiled as Adora patted her on the shoulder.

'So, what are you guys going to do now?'" Adora questioned.

'Well, I'm going to go home and sleep; training will have to wait a little longer," Alix said and Adora glanced at him then smiled.

"I'll see you guys later," Adora said as she looked at Isabella then sighed and at the same time, the king's car arrived and they each got into one and then left.

"This is going to get messy," Adora predicted as she drove home.

"Your highness, do you need to stop anywhere?" asked the driver.

"No, just take me home, please," she replied.

"As you wish, your highness," he said as the girl took her headphone from her bag, put it on her head, and began listening to music.

When she returned to the castle, it was almost night, so the girl went straight to her room, put her belongings back where they belonged, and sighed.

"Adora," someone called out, but she didn't hear them.

"Mom," she called as she saw her mother's death flash before her eyes. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she wiped them away.

"Adora," Nina said as she entered the room, and Adora looked at her before taking off her headphone.

"What is it, Nina?" she inquired.

"Your father would like to see you, and I'm going out for a bit, I'd like to get a drink, these last few days have been stressful," Nina said, and Adora smiled.

"You deserve it, go on," Adora said as she and Nina left the room to see the king.

"He's waiting for you in his study; I'll see you tomorrow?" Nina said and Adora patted Nina on the head.

"Take a break if you need to, don't go living your life like mine," Adora replied with a smile, and Nina hugged her, causing the princess to smile brightly.

"You don't drink alcohol, but could you come with me to get something else?" Nina inquired as she rose from Adora.

"I'll be fine, go on and have fun," Adora replied as she went to see her father, and Nina left to enjoy her night despite her concern for Adora.

"Father, you wanted to see me," Adora clarified as she approached him.

"Um, yeah... "I wanted to tell you that they ran tests on Kyllan and found no trace of what was wrong, but he insisted on seeing you," he replied.

'I see, I'll stop by the lab tomorrow, is that where he is or is he in the hospital?' she inquired.

"He's at the lab; I don't think they'll let him go until they figure out what his powers are," he replied.

"They won't be able to keep him, he's not a lab rat, father, is it possible to destroy the magical parliament?" She asked, and his eyes widened as he stared at her, unsure what to say.

"I knew you won't answer me, I will deal with this myself, even though Kyllan might be of a different breed now, they are still human and I will not let them have their way," she said as she walked away and the king lowered his head in regret for not being able to help his daughter with her problems.
