Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 180 Being Serious



"G- Good morning, Adora," he said and she smiled then her eyes started glowing red and he lowered his head.

"Do you want me to drag you back by your ears?" she asked, as he nervously smiled.

"No, I don't want that, not now or ever, spare me this once," he replied.

"Give me one reason why I should spare you right now," she said and he sighed.

"You have none, which is fantastic; you are allowing a betrayal to affect you; I understand you cared about that person; do you want me to change my mind?" she inquired.

"No, I know the person had no good reason, just did it because their boss is right, his image of the world is, it's bullshit to me though, do what you must, don't pity me, I am going to get stronger too," he responded as she grabbed his shirt which was hanging on the tree and went to him.

"Put it on, we are going back inside, I am serious, no training for now," she said, and he smiled before collecting his shirt and putting it on.

"Okay, if that's what you want, then I can try, no training, let's go, to be honest, I am pretty hungry," he said as they walked away, and she patted his shoulder as he smiled.

Upon arriving back at the castle, the others looked at Cameron.

"Did she drag you back?" Isabella asked.

"No, she didn't," he said as he sat down, and they both took their breakfasts and began eating.

While eating, Adora felt her body warming up due to it being cold and she smiled.

"What is it Adora?" Kyris asked.

"It's nothing, just a good day, so far," she responded.

"Yeah, we haven't had a day without at least a little stress in a long time," Kyllan admitted.

"True, but you do realize we have to be cautious, right?" Isabella inquired.

"Yeah, we do," Aerav responded.

'We must not underestimate the enemy; they are unpredictable," Isabella said.

"Yeah, that's true; they pull things right under our noses at times and we don't even realize it," Olivia replied, taking a sip of cold orange juice.

"You guys don't need to worry too much, focus on what you need to, I will handle what I need to," Adora said and they looked at her.

"What are you planning to do, though Adora?" Kyris asked.

"Do you know what the enemy isn't aware of?" she inquired.

"No, what?" Kyris asked.

"What I can and cannot do, despite Vellon being on their side, they don't really know me, and they don't know what you guys are really capable of, so what should you all do?" she inquired, and Alix smiled.

"Exceed our current limits," Alix replied.

"We must become stronger than we have ever been," Ayden said.

"Exactly, we have a good advantage with this," she replied, and they smiled before she continued eating.

"But what if you cannot win against the enemy Adora? What will we do then?" Isabella asked with a concerned expression.

"Don't worry about it yet, Isa, just focus and relax a little, you will be fine," Adora replied, to which Isabella sighed, unsure what would happen.

'They can't help but worry, and that is understandable; they are all still growing, and I don't want this to hinder their performance regardless of what happens, the enemy sure is a pain in the ass, damn it, they are even irritating me, I swear they will see another side of me that no one has seen in a long time,' Adora thought as she drank her coffee, then sighed in relief.

"That's good," she said, and Kyris chuckled.

"You feel good not being behind the mask anymore, don't you?" he asked.

"Yeah, it feels good to be able to smell the fresh air all the time and not have to wait to eat, damn," she said as he tossed her a chocolate bar and she caught it.

"Enjoy it, they are pure milk chocolate," he said and she grinned.

"Thank you very much, Kyris," she said.

"You are welcome," he said and she coughed as the mark on her chest appeared and she covered it with her hair, then sighed and it disappeared a little while after without anyone seeing it.

'He is getting stronger, that's a good thing,' she thought as she took a bite of the chocolate.

"Good morning, kids," the king and queen said as they entered the living room.

"Honey, it's after lunchtime, good afternoon kids," the queen said, and the king smiled.

"All right," he said, "good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, your majesties," they said.

"You are all here, aren't you guys going out a bit today?" the queen asked.

"Nope, I think we should be lazy all day long, we can go if the others want to though," Ayden said and the king smiled.

"No, I don't think that's a good idea," Alix replied. "Perhaps tomorrow."

"Same thing, they shouldn't go anywhere right now," Kyris said.

"We can go tomorrow or later this week," Adora suggested.

"Perhaps," Kyllan responded, and the queen smiled.

"I understand," the queen said, "you guys still need to heal more and be careful."

"Aunt, where has Zavis gone?" Adora inquired as the queen took a look around.

"I am not sure I can answer that," the queen responded.

"I think he is training, he wouldn't leave no matter what, he's listening to you Adora, which is surprising because he never listens to anyone," Niya explained, and Adora smiled.

"Yeah, I know how he is, it's just his nature," she replied and the king chuckled.

"What is it?" the queen asked.

"Nothing, these kids are something else," he said and her brows furrowed.

"He is like this because of you; what if he doesn't grow up to be a fine man?" the queen asked and Adora chuckled.

"Rest easy, he will grow to be better than you guys think, he is fine the way he is," Adora replied and the queen sighed.
