Rise of the Malactric Heir

'Damn, do I have to tell the others?' 'I-,' Adora thought, 'the feeling that comes from that presence is the intent to kill.'

"Your eyes are beautiful," Niya said, and Adora looked at her.

"Thank you, are you guys done here?" she inquired.

"Nope, why? do you need to go somewhere?" Kyris asked and Zack got up.

"Well, guys, I am done; I have got to get going now; see you later," Zack said.

"Zack, be careful," Adora said and he smiled.

"I will be careful, don't worry," he said before leaving, and Adora clenched her fists when she noticed a dark aura surrounding Zack but no one else could see it.

"Alix, do you see anything strange around Zack?" Adora questioned, and Alix turned to look at Zack and his eyes widened as he saw the same darkness.

"There is a dark wave around him, but it doesn't belong to him," he said, and Adora jumped out of her seat and ran to Zack as he was about to enter his car, grabbing his arm and he looked at her.

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"Please don't move," she said.

"What exactly is going on?" Kyris questioned.

"Something bad is around Zack, and it intends to kill," Alix responded, and Adora's body began to glow bright blue as the others left the restaurant.

"What are you doing, Adora?" Niya asked, and Adora placed her hand on Zack's chest.

"Protecting him," she replied as a blue circle appeared around Zack's body, then vanished, and she sighed as her body returned to normal.

"It's gone now, what was that?" Alix inquired.

"I have no idea, I couldn't see any figures, but it reminds me of something, though it's not that, we are being watched, and Zack is being targeted," she replied.

"But who is watching us?" Kyllan questioned.

"I am not sure anymore," Adora replied, "but I think they are all working together, maybe an organization."

"We won't be around Zack all the time so will that protection charm be enough to keep him alive?" Yan asked.

"I am not weak guys, don't worry too much about me, I will be fine," Zack said, and Adora closed her eyes as her body began to levitate and she flew up in the air.

"She can fly too?" Alix inquired.

"Not quite, she won't be up there for long, maybe a few seconds, max 50 seconds," Kyris responded as Adora felt someone looking at her and her eyes widened as she flew back down to the others.

"Did you find anything?" Nina questioned.

"Nope, nothing at all, where did your brother go Niya?" Adora asked.

"I- I don't know," she responded and Adora sighed.

"You guys keep sightseeing, I will go with Zack for a while, don't leave each other unless you're back at the castle or need to use the restroom, am I clear?" Adora asked.

"Yes, crystal clear, you can be very specific at times," Alix replied and she scoffed.

"You are being overly cautious; how bad do you believe the people watching us are?" Zack questioned.

"Bad enough, they will kill us if we get in their way, damn it, we've only just arrived, they have made their intentions clear," Adora replied, and Niya sighed.

"Adora will my brother be okay?" Niya asked.

"If he has nothing to do with any of this, Niya, I am sure he will be fine," Adora replied.

"I am also leaving you in charge of all of them, Kyris," Adora said.

"Why Kyris?" Eliza asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Because he is more capable, the rest of you are reckless, and I wouldn't even trust you with a baby," she replied, and Zack chuckled.

"That's mean to the highest extent," Alix said.

"Am I wrong though Alix?" Adora asked and he smiled.

"I am not like that," he replied, "but you are not wrong."

"Thought as much, I know you guys better than I know myself or anyone else, I spent more time with you all than anyone else, I know I am not wrong, but you will all be capable soon enough, I am taking things slow, I think," she said.

"Yeah, of course, well go on we will be fine, though you did promise you will go sightseeing with us, I guess you are forgetting that," Alix said and her brows furrowed.

"I have already seen most of the kingdom; you guys should enjoy it; I will do it another day, maybe," she replied.

"Look at her casually breaking her promise," Sarah remarked before beginning to whistle, and Adora sighed.

"Stop rubbing it in, guys," Kyris said wanting to laugh.

"Rubbing what in?" Alix asked and Adora walked up to him.

"You are going to pay dearly for bothering me, sweetheart," she said and he grinned.

"I am not harassing you, I am just stating the facts," he responded.

"The facts could seriously harm you," she warned.

"You guys love to fight, don't you?" "Sometimes I wonder how you balance being a master and a student," Zack said.

"It's natural, I am pretty sure they are just words to them, they're not that different from each other," Kyris replied, and Zack smiled and got into his car.

"Go on before he runs away," Alix said.

"I swear I will give you the beating of a lifetime, one day," she replied as she got into the car with Zack and Alix smirked.

"Be careful, both of you," Alix warned, and Adora smiled as they left.

"Adora, do you think they will be fine on their own?" Zack questioned, and she braced her head against the seat, then removed her mask, while he smiled and stared at her.

"Stop staring, I only remove my mask in front of those who have seen me without it before, Nina, you, Kyris, and another, as well as my father and the queen," she explained.

"I now know why you Niya don't know what you look like anymore, the last time they saw you was when you were a kid now you are all grown and they would love to see what you look like now, you are really pretty, you cannot expect me not to look," he replied and she chuckled.
