Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 103 Take Off

"Xemon, if she hits you, I'd say you deserve it, stop appearing like a ghost," Kyris said, and Xemon smirked before looking at Adora.

"What exactly do you want?" she asked.

"You know Xemon. I believe you should accompany them on their trip; it would be enjoyable, and you need to rest as well," the king said to which Xemon smiled.

"Thank you, your highness, but I am unable to. I came here to wish them luck; I am confident you will encounter difficulties, Adora," he replied to which Adora scoffed.

"Are you saying it's something I won't be able to handle, Xemon?" she asked, wanting to beat him but instead she smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"I get it, I will be careful, and don't worry about your brother, he's more than capable, you know," Adora said as she walked past Xemon, who sighed and looked at his brother, who smiled brightly.

"She is right; I am more than capable of looking after myself and others," Kyris said.

"I know that after watching you for a while now," Xemon replied with a smile, and Adora breathed a sigh of relief.

"I understand, just be careful and good luck," Xemon said.

"All right, thank you, bro," Kyris said as they all gathered their belongings.

"You guys got everything you need?" Nina questioned.

"Yes, we have everything we need. Alix, did you park your bike? We will take the cars to the harbor," Ayden stated.

"Yes, I parked it," he said.

"Good," Ayden said as Adora turned around and looked at the king and queen before clenching her fists then they got into the separate cars and took off.

"Do you really think they'll be fine, Xemon?" the king inquired.

"Your highness, Adora and I have our ups and downs, we hardly see eye to eye on anything but there are times when we do agree with each other and I hate to say it but they are in capable hands and so is she, that team will stand with each other no matter what," Xemon responded, and the king smiled, feeling relieved.

"You know, if something is really bothering you and it's about your own daughter, you should confront her," the queen said with a smile as they sat down to eat breakfast, while Xemon resumed his daily routine.

After a little while of driving, they finally arrived at the harbor.

"We have arrived," Kyris said as they all got out of their cars with their personal possessions, and Alix patted Ayden on the shoulder when he saw the size of the ship.

"Let's see more," Alix suggested.

"I was about to say the same thing," Ayden said as they dashed into the ship, and Nina smiled.

"They seem excited," Nina observed as she walked alongside Adora and the captain of the ship greeted them.

"Your highness, welcome aboard I would like to know if we should take off right now? the captain asked as they entered the ships lobby and the others sat down on the couch.

"Yes, take off; it's best if we leave right away."

"This ship is like a pirate's ship, at least in shape," Ayden said. "It's luxurious, has everything you need, and I would even live on it."

"This is my family's ship; it was built for my mother," Adora explained as she took a seat with them.

"The queen, you say?" Aerav inquired.

"Yes, this was built for her birthday by my father, there are no servants, just the captain and his crew members, I don't want anyone else working here, there is a cook, you will get anything you want to eat or drink here, so help yourself, there are a lot of suites on the second floor, choose any, and at the very top is where you get the very best view, the deck, make yourselves at home," she responded as the ship started moving and Adora sighed.

"Are you all right?" Kyris questioned, and Adora looked at him before grabbing her bag and walking away without responding.

"Is she upset with someone?" Alix asked.

"No, it's just the memories she has with her family on the ship will turn into a nightmare for her," Kyris said, and Alix got up with his belongings and they all went to the second floor of the ship to choose their rooms.

"I will take this one," Alix said as he was about to open the door to his room when he noticed the other room's door was open and went over to see the princess unpacking her belongings.

"Your highness," he said and she looked at him

"Are you lost?" she questioned.

"No, I am staying in the room next to this one, I noticed the door was open so," he replied.

"I see there are about twelve rooms in total, I hope the others find one to their liking," she said.

"It's more than satisfactory, uh... your highness, are you all right?" he asked, and her eyes widened as she stared at his face.

"Alix, don't look at me like that; if you feel pity for me or anything, just let it go; I don't need anyone's pity," she said, and he clenched his fists.

'What exactly is going on in her life? 'I am curious, but I also don't want to get on her nerves,' he sighed.

"I am not pitying you; I am just asking because Kyris was concerned," he explained.

"I am sorry, Alix, I didn't mean to be rude; I'm fine; tell him that for me," she responded.

"All right, I will take the room next door," he said.

"Okay, and Alix," she said then he looked at her.

"Your highness?" he said.

"Please stop addressing me as your highness and simply call me Adora," she replied.

"As you wish," he said before leaving, and Adora frowned before continuing to unpack.

"Damn it, I can't keep snapping," Adora grumbled as Alix entered his room and smiled at how luxurious it was.

"I guess everything is fancy for royals, but that doesn't mean they're always happy," Alix said while he opened his bag and decided to unpack everything at once.
