Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Congratulations, I am glad you guys won," it said, "did you do the face reveal?"

"Thank you, and yes, I did, and they are all happy," she replied.

"Well, that's good news; how serious are your students' injuries?" it inquired, turning to Alix.

"I guess half and half," she replied.

"Well, I hope they recover quickly," it said.

"So do I, and their opponents turned out to be working for the enemy; they came to participate in the tournament for fun, to let off steam, and they also got away," she responded.

"That's not good; what are you going to do about it?" "You can't deal with that right now, can you?" it asked.

"Not yet," she replied " I think we should just relax for the time being."

"You should also, I noticed you have a sweet company with you tonight, maybe he is, I am not sure," it said and she chuckled.

"Alix is just tired, he wouldn't volunteer to keep my company any time soon," Adora said to which it scoffed.

"Perhaps, you never know, but one thing is certain: you two are getting close; how close do you want to get Adora?" it inquired.

"I think it's about time I lock you up again, silly demon," she replied, and it laughed.

"Oh, you will get out once we get to the next place because it's spiritual and, more importantly, different from here," she said.

"Okay, well, this silly demon isn't in a hurry, so take your time and I think it's time you tried to sleep; if you can't sleep, I am always here to keep you company, now seal me," it said, and she smiled.

"OK, good night," she responded.

"Good night Adora," it said then she closed the seal and looked at Alix sleeping peacefully in her bed.

"I am sleeping in my bed, too," she said, locking the balcony door and drawing the curtains before climbing into bed and covering herself with the blanket before turning up the AC.

After a while of attempting to sleep, the girl finally fell asleep; however, while sleeping, she turned and tightly hugged Alix, who was fast asleep.

When Alix awoke the next morning, he sighed and wiped his eyes only to feel something tight around him, when he turned around, he saw the princess sleeping next to him while hugging him and he was holding onto her hand.

"She will kill me, no, probably call me a pervert again," he muttered as he stared at her face, then moved her hair from in front of her face, placing it behind her ear.

"I am going to have to get used to seeing her face," he said as she grabbed his hand and smiled as she opened her eyes.

"Good morning, Alix," she said.

"Good morning, Adora, sorry for sleeping here," he said as she sat up.

"You don't have to apologize for that, I offered you to stay so relax, there's no need to get worked up so early in the morning over this," she replied, grabbing her phone, swiping it, and checking the time.

"Is it still early?" he inquired.

"It's getting close to midday, well I did say you guys can sleep as long as you want but," she replied.

"But you didn't mean the same for you, well, at least you slept well, even you deserve to sleep in at times," he said as he got out of bed, and she smiled.

"I am going to freshen up, thank you for letting me sleep here, I did get a good night's sleep," he said.

"You are welcome, and please make sure to take care of your wounds," she said.

"I will," he said before leaving, and Adora sighed as she leaned back on the bed.

"Damn it, though I must admit, I slept peacefully last night," Adora muttered before getting up and going to freshen up.

After Adora finished her morning routine, she got changed and left the room, heading to the dining hall for breakfast when Zavis collided with her and she fell flat on her bum.

"Ouch, what's the big deal?" she asked and he chuckled then helped her up.

"I am so sorry," he apologized, and she sighed.

"You don't look sorry, that's for sure," she said, and he laughed.

"You are so unbelievably cute when you are like this," he said.

"I am considering wearing my mask again," she said as she walked away.

"Huh? Really?" Olivia inquired as she approached Adora.

"No, I am kidding, I am just playing with Zavis," she replied.

"Oh, I see, we don't want you to cover your face again, the others are in the living room, having breakfast while watching television, come on," Olivia said as she drew Adora with her and Adora drew Zavis along.

"Good morning guys," Olivia said as she entered the living room with Adora and Zavis.

"Ah, good morning, I see the princess woke up a little late after a very long time," Kyris said as Adora sighed then looked at Alix, who was drinking coffee.

"Good morning," Adora said as she sat down, noticing everyone else in the room except Cameron.

"Now, where is Cameron?" she asked and Olivia turned away from her.

"If he is training, I will rip his hands off," she threatened.

"There is no need for that, he just left to train near the valley," Olivia replied and Adora smiled.

"Thank you for informing me, that was very kind of you; I am going to fetch him," she said as she stood up and walked away.

"I am sorry Cameron, she specifically stated no training, for the time being, you are done for if she catches you training, my condolences," Olivia said.

"Damn it, I feel sorry for him, I do hope he hasn't started training as yet, poor Cameron," Isabella said as she ate, and Adora left for the valley.

"Cameron," she said as he was about to start training, and he flinched when he turned around and saw her standing by the apple tree.
