Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 104 Peaceful



Later that day, Adora went up on the ship's deck and smiled as she gazed out at the beautiful sea.

"It's so peaceful," she commented.

"Your highness," the captain said as he stepped onto the deck, and she turned to face him.

"Is there something wrong?" she inquired.

"No, I just wanted to let you know that before we get to your destination, which will take some time," he explained. "Recently, many ships have been cornered by pirates, some of whom have powers, and at times the sea can get pretty rough, so it might take a little longer to get there."

"I understand, don't worry, we can protect ourselves, and it doesn't matter how long it takes, we have time on our hands," she said, and the captain smiled.

"It's good to see you smile again, princess; I hope to travel with you more," he said as he walked away, and she sighed.

"If only I could be happy," she mumbled as Nina and the others came up on deck and sat in the comfortable laid back chairs.

"It sure is nice up here," Alix said.

"Yeah, the sea can be peaceful at times," Adora responded, and Alix smiled.

"I can believe you because you appear at ease," he said, and she clenched her fists and turned to face him.

"You have been more nice lately, I guess a lot has changed since I left," she said, and he scoffed.

"I can assure you that I have learned a lot, I guess people change with time, I am more open-minded now too," he replied as Eliza smiled at them.

"Adora, How about you show us your face?" Eliza asked and she looked at the girl.

"I- I can't yet, Eliza, sorry guys," she said.

"Don't apologize; it's not as if we don't understand why you can't show your face; relax, take your time; we're not going anywhere, are we?" Alix asked and Adora's eyes shimmered as she stared at his smiling face.

"Your eyes are shimmering," he said, and she coughed as she moved her gaze away from him.

"I- it happens sometimes, it's quite normal, I am going to get something to drink," she replied then walked away, and Alix looked down at the water then closed his eyes,

"Don't you think I can focus the energy in my body properly here, Kyris?" Alix inquired, and Kyris smiled, feeling the gentle breeze around them.

"I believe you all can, you haven't been able to focus your energy properly within your body in a long time," Kyris said as Alix sat down and closed his eyes, listening to his surroundings.

"The energy he releases at times is overwhelming; control is essential," Kyris said, looking at Alix and the red glow that surrounded him.

'I can gain some control, but that won't work; once the seal is broken, I will have to focus more in order to gain full control of these powers; I will let her break the seal; I need to know what I am truly capable of,' Alix reasoned as Adora drank a glass of orange juice in the kitchen when she sensed Alix's powers.

"Did he lose control once again?" She asked, placing the glass on the cupboard, then put on her mask and returned to the deck, where she noticed Alix gaining control of the small amount of power he had access to at that time and she sighed in relief.

"Are you pleased with them?" Kyllan asked.

"You should be, they've been working their tails off to improve," Kyris said, and Adora smiled.

"Of course I am, they are a good bunch, I have never had a team quite like this one in my entire life, I have no intention of letting them go either," she replied, and Ayden smirked as the others heard her.

"Your highness, we have no plans to go anywhere," he said, and she chuckled.

"You don't have permission either; did you guys eat? It's past lunchtime," She responded.

"Yeah, we had lunch, and I must say, the cook is fantastic; thank you for bringing us aboard your family ship," Aerav said.

"You don't have to thank me, I am honored," she replied before turning to Kyllan, who was staring at the water a bit lost, and she went over to him.

"What are you thinking?" she questioned.

"Nothing much, I just hope I don't cause you any problems on this trip," he replied, and she placed her hand on his shoulder then he looked at her.

"I am not a person with much hope right now, but I can assure you that if you believe in yourself enough, you can gain control of whatever powers you have, stop stressing so much and let yourself loose a little, please, I brought you so you can be at ease and have fun," she said and she smiled.

"Thank you Adora, for some who don't have much hope, you most certainly know how to encourage others, it's strange but great, thank you again, not only for saving me from being locked up but for everything else," he replied, and she patted him on the head before turning to face Alix.

"I think we should have some fun," she suggested, and Kyllan smiled nervously as he looked at Alix.

"I don't mind having a good time, but what are you going to do to him?" Kyris inquired.

"Captain!" she exclaimed.

"Your Majesty," he responded as he stepped out onto the deck.

"No matter what, don't stop the ship; we'll just have some fun," she said, smiling.

"All right, I won't, but you kids be careful," he said.

"Don't worry, we will be," she said as she walked over to Alix and the others stood up.

"What's going on?" Sarah questioned as Adora tapped Alix on the shoulder, breaking his concentration, and he looked at her before standing up as a pod of Orcas and dolphins came by doing tricks, and they all smiled as they looked at them.

"Now that's nice," Alix commented.

"You know you can swim with them, it's not an opportunity everyone gets," Adora responded as her eyes glowed red and she kicked Alix into the water, and they all gasped as she jumped over with him and the captain laughed.
