Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Adora, you shouldn\'t take them on, they only feel threatened by you, that\'s why they\'re acting out," Misran said knowing a few members from the parliament were looking at them, and Adora smiled.

"Exactly what I was thinking, I am tired of their nonsense, this kingdom should only be run by the king and queen, no one else, are you all coming to see the parliament demolished tomorrow?" she inquired, and they smiled.

"We\'d have a front-row seat," Alix replied.

"We wouldn\'t miss it," Kyris said and she smirked, then sipped her wine.

Adora checked the time after everyone had finished eating and saw that it was nearly midnight and that the guests had begun to leave.

"Guys, I\'m going to call it a night now because I\'m tired, good night, and thank you for a great day," she said, and they all smiled.

"You\'re welcome," they replied, and she smiled before Alix sighed and stood up.

"I\'ll take you back to your room," he said, and everyone smiled.

"All right," she replied as Kyris sighed and looked at the wine bottle from which she drank her wine.

\'She\'s never had alcohol before, and she doesn\'t like it, but this wine had a lot of alcohol in it, my, my,\' Kyris thought but didn\'t say anything.

A short time after Adora arrived in her room with Alix, she locked the door and looked at him. As she was about to walk to him, her shoe became entangled with her dress and she was about to trip, but he caught her.

"You\'re high," he said with a smile, and she looked at him with lost eyes as he sat her on her bed and she held onto her crown.

"Let me take it off," he said, and she looked at him with sleepy eyes before moving her hand away from the crown, which he removed and placed in the makeup section of her walk-in closet.

"Seems like you\'d never had alcohol before," he said, and she sighed as he placed his hand on the necklace he\'d given her, about to take it off, but she grabbed his hand and he looked at her.

"No... Leave it," she mumbled as she bent down and removed her shoes, and he stared at her as she was about to remove her dress before him and he sighed but before she could he grabbed her hand.

"Don\'t," he said, then grabbed her soft blue robe and closed his eyes, after which she removed her dress and he put the robe on her without looking at her.

"T- Thank you, Alix," she said as she was about to fall again, but he caught her and she chuckled as he looked at her.

"You\'re in pain, aren\'t you?" he inquired, and she entered the balcony, opening her hair.

"I am not, not at the moment at least Alix," she said with a smile, and Alix sighed then approached her and sat on the railing of the balcony.

"I know having too much stuff on your shoulders can be a problem," he said, and she smiled.

"Alix... Sorry for causing you problems, but I have never drank so much of this before, this is giving me a headache," she replied and he smiled as she started getting hiccups, and he got off the rail, went into her room, grabbed the mug of water from her table, poured a glass, and handed it to her.

"Thank you," she said before drinking the water and sighing.

"You are welcome, maybe you should get some sleep, it will help," he replied, and she nodded before going into her bed and looking at him as he closed the balcony door and adjusted the curtains.

"Alix," she said before he could turn off the lights.

"What is it?" he inquired.

"Stay...," she replied, and he took his jacket off and placed it on the couch before taking his shoe off and going to turn off the lights, but she grabbed him by the arms and pulled him to sit on the bed, leaving Alix staring at her.

"Please don\'t leave," she said as she sat up and leaned in closer to him and stared him directly in the eyes.

"Adora," he replied and she smiled then kissed him on the cheek and he glanced at her before clenching his fists, then he scoffed and laid her back on the bed, covering her with the blanket.

"Good night, I promise, I won\'t leave until morning," he said, and she smiled before falling asleep. Alix turned off the lights and lay back beside her, the girl holding his hand despite the fact that she was fast asleep.

Alix fell asleep after a few moments of thinking about things, and Adora\'s non-stressful day in a long time was over.

When Alix awoke the next morning, he felt a soft and warm something embrace him, and when he opened his eyes properly, he saw Adora hugging him and his hand was on her waist.

"If she sees my hand on her, she\'ll call me a pervert," he mumbled, and when she heard his voice, her eyes slowly opened, and he smiled at her as she stared at his face.

"I- Alix, sorry," she apologized, moving her hand away from him, and he did the same. They both sat up, and she clutched her head tightly.

"That hurts," she whined.

"Take a nice fresh bath, you\'ll feel better," he said as he got out of bed, and she glanced at him.

"Pervert..." she said quietly and his brows furrowed, then he turned to look at her and she grinned.

"You have your own special fun teasing me, I\'m not going to say anything today," he replied and she chuckled then he smiled a bit.

"Thank you, Alix," she said.

"You\'re welcome; I\'m going home now," he replied, picking up his jacket and putting on his shoes.

"Will I see you later today?" she inquired, and he turned to face her before exiting the room.

"No training today, I\'m sure everyone will be lazy after last night, I\'m not sure, maybe, see ya," he replied before leaving, and she exhaled deeply.
