Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Is there something wrong? Are you in any kind of danger, your highness?" he questioned, and she gave him a sidelong glance.

"No, I am not, I will go change," she said as she was about to walk away when he grabbed her arm and she looked at him.

"Is everything all right?" Kyris asked as he and the other came on deck, and Alix released Adora\'s arm.

"We saw a very bright light," Eliza explained.

"That was me," Adora replied.

"Are you okay, you\'re wet from head to toe?" Kyris questioned.

"Yeah, I am fine, I just went for a swim and was testing out my powers as well, so the light was from me," she responded as Alix stared at her and she clenched her fists.

\'I now understand that whatever she is hiding has to be serious because she won\'t keep anything from Kyris,\' Alix thought as Adora lowered her head and Kyris leaned in toward her, then she pulled back.

"What?" she asked.

"Is there anything else going on with you? Did anything else happen?" he questioned.

"Nothing else happened, I will go freshen up," she replied before leaving.

"Did anything else happen out here, Alix?" Kyris questioned while looking at him.

"Nope, nothing else happened," he replied, and Kyris breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, I am glad because she\'s been behaving weird lately," Kyris said as they all went back into the ship.

\'I am so sorry Kyris, but this is how things have to be, for now, I will tell you all as soon as I can, for now, this is the way it has to be, even if it\'s the same one who came after my mom, I am not sure, but I am going to have to handle this on my own,\' Adora thought as she closed her room door, then took her clothes off and looked at the mark on her back before going to freshen up.

"Guys, I think I\'m going to bed now, the pirates have taken over the living room, good night," Nina said.

"Good night," they replied and the girl left to go to bed along with Yan.

"I think I will go to bed as well, good night guys," Alix said.

"Good night," they replied, and he went to his room, still worried about what was going on with the princess, which he couldn\'t get out of his head no matter how hard he tried.

A little while after, Adora finished taking her bath, she changed into her nightgown and dried her hair.

"Alix, suspects I am hiding something dangerous, maybe, he catches on really fast, I hope he doesn\'t say anything," Adora muttered.

When the girl finished drying her hair, she leaned back on the bed and yawned, falling asleep faster than usual for she was tired as well as a bit stressed out.

The next morning when Adora woke up, she stretched off, and after, the first thing she did was go freshen up and finish her morning routine, while the others, including Alix, were already up and ready for breakfast.

After finishing her morning routine, the princess left her room and joined the others in the living room.

Upon entering the living room, the pirate captain\'s eyes widened when she gave him a cold gaze and he smiled nervously.

"Good morning, guys," she said.

"Good morning," they replied as the captain of the ship approached them.

"Good morning, princess," he said, smiling.

"Good morning, old man," she replied, and he chuckled.

"I just wanted to let you know that we\'ll be there soon," he said, and they all smiled.

"That is good news, captain; would you like to join us for breakfast, or are you going to get another cigarette?"Adora asked and he smiled nervously then sat down.

"I would rather have breakfast than a cold stare if I get a cigarette kid," he replied as the cook brought food for everyone, including the pirates.

"You better eat well over there, captain, because you never know when you\'ll get a second meal," Adora said, and the pirate captain shivered then smiled.

"I will enjoy it, thank you, your highness," he replied, and Adora sighed as they began to eat.

"How are you, my lady?" Alix asked, and Adora jumped, then smiled at him.

"Ah, Alix, you jumped me there, why won\'t I be fine?" She asked.

"I am not sure, that\'s why I am asking little water puppy," he replied, and her brows twitched before she looked at him and smiled.

"I am completely fine; you don\'t need to worry about me," she said, "but you should be concerned about yourself right now; if you know what\'s good for you, you will stop calling me that."

"Calling you what exactly?" he inquired, and she sighed as he smiled.

"You are just as evil; I will kill you," she muttered, and he scoffed.

"You won\'t, even if you wanted to, that I do know, you should eat breakfast; as you should know it is one of the most important meals of the day, my lady," he said and she clenched her fists.

"You should tell yourself that sweetheart, I will make your life a living hell, just wait and watch, I know you are still on to me, since last night," she replied.

"Sorry, your highness, but I don\'t think I can let this go even if I wanted to, you are going to have to deal with it, as I deal with you," he said and she smiled.

\'Sheesh, he can be a pain at times,\' she thought as she looked at his eyes which glowed blue then stopped.

\'I wonder how strong he\'s gotten, I am sure even with the block he can do a lot of damage,\' Adora wondered as she watched Alix while he was eating.

"Do you need something my lady?" he asked.

"No, nothing at all, just thinking about how weird you are, continue eating and stop talking," she responded and he scoffed then looked at her.
