Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 137 Trustworthy



"I have gotten so used to wearing the mask, I started wearing after Mom died, it's starting to become a real bother now," Adora said, and Zack smiled.

"I understand; based on how they are, I believe your team is pretty trustworthy; you should show yourself to them now," he replied.

"They are, I will show them after the finals, I need fresh air, I want to walk without my mask even the public won't know it's me," she said and he smiled.

"How come you won't tell anyone what happened to your mother?" I know you did not hurt her, and even if they say or prove you were the one who killed her, I will never believe it, not only me, the others won't either, stop letting them blame you for something that you didn't do," he replied.

"I-I am not letting them blame me; it doesn't really matter if I can't prove anything; I don't care how much they blame me; I don't work with what the people want; I will live and do as I please," she said.

"That's not bad; you seem happy now, and that's all that matters; also, the meeting I am heading to will only take a half-hour, is that okay?" He inquired.

"Yeah, that's fine, I will stay around a little longer, you can take as long as you need, I have no problem with that," she replied, wiping her eyes.

"Are you sleepy?" he asked.

"Perhaps a little," she said as the car came to a stop.

"Would you like to come in or wait here?" Zack inquired.

"I will wait here; if anything happens, I will sense it; relax and go to your meeting," she replied.

"Are you certain you will be okay out here?" "You are welcome to accompany me," he said.

"It's fine, I will probably take a short nap as well," she said.

"You look like you need the sleep, okay fine, you can stay, just be careful," he said as then left and Adora sighed as she looked out the window at the building he went to.

'Vellon, your friend has really grown over the years; he wants you to come home as well,' Adora thought.

"Where are we going, next guys?" Ayden asked.

"I will take you to the garden, the park, and a few other places; it will take a while, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?" Niya inquired.

"Well, I don't think it will be as long as we're all safe and stick together," Alix responded.

"Alix is correct, I can't help but feel uneasy about all of this; I've been on a lot of missions and done a lot of things, but something about this situation we're in right now gives me the creeps and I don't like it; the match is also approaching," Kyris said, and they all looked at him.

"If you are that concerned about her, you should have gone with her, maybe call her and check-in, obviously you're worried about the princess Kyris," Alix said.

"Do you have feelings for the princess?" Niya questioned, and Kyris began coughing.

"Eh? What gave you that idea?" Kyris asked.

"I am pretty sure they're not interested in each other," Sarah speculated.

"Sarah is right, I don't love the princess in the sense that I want to be in a relationship with her; I see her as a sister, and I'm pretty sure she doesn't see me as a lover either; the truth is, I already love someone," Kyris explained.

"Nice," Alix said.

"Well, that's good to know," Sarah commented.

"I see, but who is the lucky girl?" Aerav asked.

"For your age, you all sure do ask a lot of questions, no more, for now, let's all go to the garden of wherever Niya wants to take us next," Kyris responded and they all got into different cars then left.

"Alix, are you concerned about her?" Nina questioned as the boy gazed out the window.

"I don't think so," he replied.

"You are really strange and difficult to understand," Yan said, and Alix smiled.

"I suppose we are all different in our own ways," he responded.

"We are, I guess the princess didn't care when she recruited us, she snatched us away before other teams could, gave us a place to belong," Yan explained.

"I know the feeling, it even surprised me," Alix replied, looking at his hand and sighed.

'I feel different, I feel the energy within me flowing like never before,' Alix reflected. 'I wonder what the hell I'm turning into, only she knows.'

Later that day just after Nightfall, they all went back to the castle.

Niya took Adora's team to a variety of locations, the majority of which were popular tourist destinations, and she had more places she wanted to show them but decided to save it for another day.

"We are back," Niya said as they entered the living room and saw Zavis on the couch.

"You guys sure took a long time, had fun?" Zavis asked while sitting up.

"We had a good time," Ayden said as they sat down.

"Well, don't get tired, there are a lot more places for you guys to see," Zavis said.

"I am sure we won't, the kingdom is beautiful so far," Eliza replied.

"Yeah, that it is, it's also very dark too," he replied as they looked at him.

"Uh... Zavis, has Adora returned yet? Did she come back?" Kyris asked.

"Why would Adora be here? Wasn't she with you guys?" he asked.

"Yeah, but we split up, and she went with Zack; it would seem that we were being followed and Zack was being targeted," Alix replied.

"I see, well be more careful, I am messing with you guys, she is back, she came home half an hour ago," Zavis said, and they sighed in relief.

"Is she sleeping?" Alix asked.

"Nope, pretty sure she isn't, though from her eyes it appeared as if she wanted to, I am not interested," he replied and Niya patted him on the shoulder.

"You are a strange bro," Niya said, to which Zavis scoffed and brushed her hand off of him.
