Rise of the Malactric Heir

"If you are going to start worrying about me, forget it; I don't need you of all people worrying about me," Zavis said, then she sighed.

"There you go being a jerk again Zavis, get on my nerves and I will really hurt you for being like this," she replied, and he grinned at her.

"I would really like to go head to head with you, but I am afraid of losing; I will never win against you, can I? What exactly are you?" he questioned, and she lowered her head.

"I guess I am the monster people portray me to be," she replied.

"As if," he said when her eyes turned red because she sensed something or someone watching them.

"Go inside, Zavis," she instructed.

"Why? "You don't get to tell me what to do," he said.

"Shut up and go inside," she yelled, startling him and he did as told while she looked around to see what was watching then but couldn't see anything and that got on her nerves.

"This is really getting on my nerves, you should know that I know I am being watched, if you come before me, I will kill you," Adora said as the presence vanished and she entered the castle to find Zavis waiting for her in the hallway.

"I am sorry for yelling; tell your parents to be cautious; is there any protection around the castle?" she asked.

"Not anymore," he responded as his eyes glowed, releasing a green energy from within her body and she scoffed.

"There, I just made one," he explained.

"I see that, good night," she said, and as she turned to walk away, he grabbed her arm.

"Let's meet tomorrow night after the match, I'll tell you a few things, I know what I have to do," he said.

"All right, good night," she replied.

"Good night, Adora," he said as they went to their respective rooms, and Adora locked her door tightly, removed her mask, and threw herself on her bed.

"The energy he released from his body was pure, but it was tinged with anger and fear; what's bothering you so much, Zavis?" Adora pondered before opening the seal on her chest.

"Go to sleep, I will keep an eye on you, try your hardest, and I am sure you will fall asleep, you really need to close your eyes," it said, and she smiled.

"I know that, thank you, good night," she said as she stretched away, and after a long struggle, the princess finally fell asleep.

"You are welcome, I am glad you will be able to get some rest now," it said as it looked over her.

After more than two hours of sleeping, the one within her sensed something watching them and smirked.

"Looks like we have a visitor," it said and the princess's eyes opened as she sensed the presence for she was not in a deep sleep.

"You are already awake; you are not getting enough sleep," it said.

"I don't want them to know you're here, so please be quiet; I am pretty sure if anyone knows you're with me, they will try to take you away," she replied and it sighed.

"I understand," it said and she sighed while placing her head against the bed.

"Whatever it is, it's not inside the castle, it's outside, I think the barrier is working," it said.

"Seems like it, but I have a bad feeling about what's watching us," she replied, before turning on the television and playing music at a low volume.

"Are you going to be able to sleep again?" it asked.

"Nope," she responded with sleepy eyes.

"This is bad, but I will keep you company, princess, share your feelings with me," it said, and she chuckled.

"You are one strange demon," she muttered, and the two of them talked all night until the sun came up.

'I wonder what kind of memories of dreams she has that keeps her from getting a good night's rest, it's getting worse every day that goes by,' it wondered.

"Good morning," it said.

"No need to say that," she replied, "but good morning, do you want to be sealed today or not?"

"Seal me, I understand how you feel, do you want to talk to me about what's keeping you awake?" it asked.

"I will discuss it with you later," she said.

"Okay, go do what you have to and have a hearty breakfast, are you hearing me Adora?" it asked.

"I hear you, are you ready?" she asked.

"Yeah, go ahead and seal me, also if you are going out alone open the seal okay?" it said and she smiled.

"I will do it to relieve your stress, I can feel it," she replied before closing the seal and going to freshen up.

When the girl finished, she got dressed, placed her mask on the left the room and since no one was to be seen, the girl went into the kitchen, closed the door and made herself breakfast.

While Adora was eating she couldn't help but yawn.

"Damn, I really need to sleep, if I keep on like this, I can get really bad Insomnia," she muttered, then drank her coffee when someone knocked on the door, and since she had finished eating, the girl wiped her lips and placed her mask on then opened the door and saw it was the king.

"Your highness," she addressed him.

"Good morning, kid please don't call me your highness, I am your uncle Adora," he replied with a smile, then patted her on the head, and she smiled back.

"Good morning, would you like me to make you something to eat?" she asked.

"Sure," he responded and at the same time, the queen walked into the kitchen.

"I am hungry as well," she admitted, and Adora sighed.

"I will make you both breakfast," she said, and the queen smiled.

"Are you certain?" the queen inquired.

"Yeah, I am certain," she said.

"OK, we will wait, thank you," the queen said.

"You are welcome," Adora replied as they both exited the kitchen, and the girl began preparing breakfast for everyone, giving the cook and maids time to relax.
