Rise of the Malactric Heir

"There is this island, there are magical people there, innocent ones, but one of the demons working for the demon lord discovered that their leader was killed, and the one who killed the leader took full control over the place, I threatened him, but then he threatened me, saying he will kill everyone there if anyone gets in his way to power, the man he killed was his brother, the island is a small nation but rich," he responded, and she smiled.

"Do you have it under control now?" she inquired.

"I\'m working on it; the demon lord sent a few a few of his men; I gave the order to kill on sight, and I appointed the former leader\'s daughter to be their new leader once everything is taken care of, it will benefit us too," he replied.

"That\'s a good solution; if you need anything, call on me or any of the teams; they\'ll help," she responded, and he smiled.

"Has he already dispatched one of the team to assist," the queen said with a nervous smile.

"Don\'t tell me," Kyris said and Adora scoffed.

"Team one?" Cameron inquired.

"The one with the dangerous leader?" Zavis asked and Olivia nodded.

"Yeah, they were on their way to another mission, but the leader offered to help with this one, and the king couldn\'t say no," the queen replied, and Yan sighed.

"Is he that insane?" Zack inquired, and Eliza chuckled and then nodded.

"At least the mission is in safe hands," Nina said, and Kyllan sighed.

"Well, I don\'t think we need to worry too much," Misran responded.

"So, what are we going to do with Ifrit?" asked the king.

"At this point, there are a lot of options, but since he is not guilty then, we can\'t decide that," the queen replied and the king nodded.

"Ifrit will not be sealed, not guarded as in spied on, he will live a free life from now on, he has choices, if he makes bad ones he will pay, but if he doesn\'t then there is no problem," Adora said, and Ifrit smiled.

"We are fine with that, right guys?" Alix asked and the others nodded.

"Same here," said the king, and Adora smiled.

"Well, it\'s already night, you guys can all stay here or go home, do as you please, Ifrit, take one the guest rooms, send one of the drivers for your stuff, wherever you have it then eat," Adora said.

"Alright, thanks guys, I really appreciate it," Ifrit replied and they smiled.

"You are welcome to stay as long as you like, we owe you, but for now come on, let\'s all go have dinner," said the king.

"I\'ll have dinner in my room, good night," Adora replied before leaving, and they all went to the dining hall to dine with the king and queen.

"Ifrit, you have been in my daughter since she was a child?" Since her mother\'s death?" While they were eating, the king asked, and Ifrit sighed.

"Yes, I was," he admitted.

"As a result, you know a lot about her life, am I right?" the king asked.

"Yes, your highness, I am sorry, but I won\'t be able to speak about what killed the queen that night, but I can tell you, it doesn\'t have mercy, it was going to kill your child, if she wasn\'t strong and I wasn\'t there, neither of us would be here today, that girl is very stubborn, not only then but she still is and she can put up a really good fight," Ifrit responded, and the king smiled.

"That she can; she is strong; how strong is she? I\'m not sure how she got so strong, but thank you for assisting her all this time," the king said and Ifrit smiled.

"You are welcome, she also got strong by watching you guys use your powers, she practiced for a long time, did all sorts of training, challenged strong people and won, I was sealed within her, but with a certain ability, I was able to guide her to use it properly, let\'s just say, she got a lot of hurt to get stronger," Ifrit replied, and Alix lowered his head before Ifrit looked at him.

\'She has a lot of faith in her team members; I have never seen her believe in anyone as much as she does in them, especially Alix,\' Ifrit reflected before continuing to eat, and the king sighed with relief.

After everyone had finished eating, Alix and the others went home, while Ifrit went to see Adora in her room.

"Hey," he said as she stood in the balcony and she turned around to look at him then smiled.

"Are you all right?" he inquired.

"Yeah, I\'m fine," she replied as he approached her.

"I am fine and alive thanks to you, Adora," he replied.

"You\'re welcome," she said and he chuckled.

"Adora, you aren\'t telling them because you are worried for them, am I right?" he asked and she nodded.

"If that thing comes after them, I\'m not sure if they\'ll be able to fight it but if they are together and fights it they have a chance in a way, but not if Vellon\'s boss\'s minions are with it, there are a lot of options when this thing is concerned but I would rather not take any chances," she replied, and he looked up at the night sky.

"I understand; this was your only way to help them without risking any lives," he said.

"I wish there was another way, but there isn\'t, so this is all that can be done for now," she replied, and he nodded, knowing that Adora made the right decision.

"I\'m glad I formed the teams; they\'re all pitching in to help in any way they can; I just hope they survive; they\'re as stubborn as hell," Adora said.

"Yeah, they are, they all want to repay you and don\'t care how they have to do it, but they will, their characters are interesting," he replied, and she chuckled as the moon\'s light reflected in her eyes.
