Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 148 "Am I Wrong About You?"

"Bastard, I know you are not like the rest of the enemies, and neither is your new master, but if you are not afraid of me, what the hell are you up to?" she questioned while wiping the blood off of her arm.

"Am I wrong about you?" Adora wondered with a smile on her face.

"Adora," Alix called out as he knocked on the door, and she smiled as she grabbed her ice cream and placed it in the room's small refrigerator.

"Coming," she said as she reapplied her mask, wrapped herself in a robe, and opened the door.

"What's the matter? Are you not going to eat?" She inquired.

"I already did, and I wasn't that hungry," he sighed, looking at the blood soaking through her sleeve.

"Would you like me to look after it for you?" he asked, and she smiled.

"Sure, come on in," she said as she walked away, and he entered the room then closed the door behind him and she looked at him.

"Turn away for a moment," she said, and he did as she instructed. She then took her hand out of her sleeve and sat on the couch, the rest of her body well-covered.

"You can look now," she said, and he turned to face her.

"Where is the first-aid kit?" he inquired.

"In the bed drawer," she replied, then he went to get it and sat beside her while pulling items from the kit to care for her hand.

"Your wound isn't deep, but it must have been painful,' he said as she lowered her head.

"I can deal with pain," she responded, and he gave her a serious look.

'What's the deal with him? He's acting strangely,' Adora thought as he cleaned her wound and she smiled.

'He is such a good person; I hope he doesn't change too much; this is the first time in a long time that I have become attached to someone; as a friend, I will help and support him,' Adora thought.

"I know we have all been together for a while, but why are you being so nice to me now after you were so mean to me before? Do you consider me a friend, like the others, or just a student, which is why you are being nice? Is it because of who I am? Whoever that may be," he asked and she left staring at him.

"You sure know how to catch people off guard, and it's not because you have a lot of potential, or because of who you are, or because you are my student; I consider you all my friends, just the way you are, pervert," she responded, and he raised his head to look at her, his brow furrowed.

"I am sorry, but what? Why am I now a pervert? "He asked, and she chuckled.

"You really don't remember Alix?" she asked when he remembered the time his face landed between her breasts and he smiled.

"I made a mistake," he admitted.

"I told you the name would stick with you; deal with it," she said, and he sighed before wrapping her arm in the bandage.

"You are extremely unfair," he said as she patted his shoulder.

"You, too," she replied.

"I believe she might be the real enemy in my life," Alix reasoned. "Sometimes she is nice and sweet, well, most of the time she is lately, but then a nerve gets hit and she becomes the devil herself."

"There you are all done," he said.

"Thank you, Alix," she said as he stood up.

"Are you going to sleep now or return to the others?" she inquired.

"Well, half of them have already gone to bed, so I'm going to bed as well," he replied.

"All right, good night, Alix," she said.

"Good night Adora," he replied, then left and she took her mask back off and began eating her dinner.

After finishing her dinner, the girl went to freshen up, and when she was done, Adora changed into her nightgown, reapplied her mask, and returned the things she ate in, to the kitchen.

When she finished, Adora went back to her room, grabbed her ice cream, took her mask off, and went into the balcony to eat it.

'Who would have predicted that I would actually find a place where I feel like I belong, I guess I was just blind before, there might be a lot more to my life than I know, I want to live and see it, I finally feel at ease with them, thanks to the princess, I hope I can repay her one day,' Alix thought as he looked up at the moon from his room, with a gentle smile on his face.

While eating her ice cream Adora sensed someone looking at her from afar and she sighed.

'Are my powers acting up?' she wondered as her hair blew up in front of her face and Alix went into his balcony at the same time.

"You smell like strawberry," Alix said as she turned her back toward him and smirked.

"Is that a bad thing?" she asked.

"Not necessarily," he replied.

"Would you like some ice cream?" she inquired.

"How much of that can you consume?" It's also bad for your health, you know," he replied, and she chuckled.

"I know you like ice cream, so you're the last person who should be lecturing me on what's bad for my health right now," she said, and he scoffed.

"You are right, don't you have your mask on?" he asked.

"No, I don't wear it when I'm alone," she replied.

"You should stop wearing it completely, I am going to sleep, don't stay up too long, your highness, I mean Adora good night," he said.

"Sad, I was about to give you the punch of a lifetime for addressing me as your highness again, but you changed your mouth," she replied, and he looked at her.

"I was right, you're insane," he said, and she laughed.

"You don't have to tell me I'm crazy, you're not that different either Alix, good night and I hope you have sweet dreams," she replied.

"You too," he said as he went into his room, locked the balcony door and went straight to bed, as did Adora after she finished eating her ice cream.
