Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Good morning, guys," Yan said, and Kyris yawned as he came in after.

"Good morning," he said, leaning against Adora's shoulder, and she looked at him before he smiled.

"I think we should all sleep as much as we want today, training really wore me out too, I think even I overdid it," Kyris said and Adora sighed.

"Adora, clearly said no one should overdo it Kyris, clearly you did," Olivia said as she and the others, including Cameron, entered the living room.

"Kyris, you can all sleep if you want, you look like you are going to collapse as well," Adora said to which he smirked.

"I will be fine, I just need to snap out of it, it's nothing more than laziness," he said as he stood up and she sat down on the couch.

"Why don't you guys go to the amusement park or something? If not today, perhaps after the match tomorrow,"

"Good morning," they said.

"Good morning, kids, it's not a bad idea, have fun, and enjoy your lives as well," the queen replied.

"We will go after the match so they can all relax and have fun at the same time; it will be a nice day out or we can go the next day, depending on the outcome of the match, of course," Adora said.

"She is right we can go after, then she won't be wearing the mask either," Alix said and the others agreed.

"You have many good points, no reason to say anything else other than let's have breakfast," the queen replied, and they all went to the dining hall to eat breakfast.

As everyone started eating, Adora sighed and lowered her head, clutching her mask and her uncle glanced at her and then smiled.

"You can eat, none of us will look in your direction promise," he said, and Adora smiled. Kyris formed a barrier around her, and she took her food and began eating comfortably behind the barrier that reflected the others' faces and prevented them from seeing hers.

'They are all so nice to me right now, mom, I miss you too,' Adora reflected as she ate her food.

"Adora, uh... I forgot to tell you that your father called to check on things; when I told him what was going on, he became very concerned and told me to tell you to call him later, when you have time," said the queen.

"Thank you, aunt; I will call him when I'm finished," she said.

"You are welcome," she said and Adora sighed. "Adora, I know you don't want to talk about your mother's death, I know it's hard but I think you should tell your father what hurt her that night, what happened to you guys," the queen said with a frown and Alix looked at the barrier then sighed.

"It's not that I don't want to tell him, aunt, I just can't, what killed my mother wasn't a person, that's all you guys can know, what killed her will be the one thing that can oppose a lot of things, a few laws itself, what killed her only knows to destroy," she said and the queen's eyes shook.

"Are you in that much danger Adora?" Alix asked with a concerned tone.

​ "I don't like that tone; I don't want you guys worrying about me; I can handle myself; I'm sorry if you think I am being mean, but I am not; don't worry, just know I think they are all connected," she said.

"If you say so, we will drop this for the time being," the queen said.

"I appreciate it, thank you," she said, and Alix gnashed her teeth.

'Why can't I bring myself to believe her?' Alix wondered.

'I don't like her tone,' Kyris thought as Adora drank her juice, wiped her lips, and reapplied her mask.

"Kyris, I am done, can you please take down the barrier?" she asked.

"Sure," he replied before he removed the barrier and she smiled.

"I am full," she said and Nina patted her on the shoulder.

"You're in great shape, to be honest, I'm a little jealous, but you need to eat more," Nina said, and Adora chuckled.

"I will; I could use a little more free time as well," Adora replied.

"That's the first, you are really changing," Isa said.

"Do you think that's good or bad?" Adora inquired.

"I think it's good; you seem a little more open now, and it's nice to have you this way," Isabella said.

"That's good to hear, especially coming from you Isa; I know you don't like changes, but even you seem a bit more loose now, things aren't that bad for us, despite the enemies' wishing to get rid of us," Adora said, and they all laughed.

"Adora, Can we talk a little more after this?" Alix inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"Okay, sure," she replied, and he smiled slightly.

"Thank you," he said.

"Don't thank me yet, sweetheart," she replied with a wink, and he smiled and continued eating his breakfast, while Cameron became even more concerned because he feared Alix and the others would become entangled in all of the chaos and he didn't want them to but he also understood that was not his choice and he just wanted to get rid of the spy but knowing who it was, took a toll on him emotionally too.

"Relax, Cameron, sweetheart," Adora said, smiling.

"I promise I am doing my best," he said.

"You really should listen to Adora, she's right, we understand you're worried, but you can't let what happened affect you," Isabella said, as Cameron clenched his fists and hit his hand on the table, causing her to jump.

"Don't let it affect me Isabella? How can I not? Tell me," he said as the others left staring at him and he sighed.

"I need to get my head straight," he said as he stood up and stormed out the door causing Isabella to frown.

"Don't worry, Isa, he didn't mean to yell at you, you know that," Adora said, before Olivia stood up and went after Cameron.
