Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 17 Pierced

"Nina, I... I am sorry about my tone" she said as the girl stared at her.

"Why? why are you so desperate to teach him?" she asked as Adora clenched her fists.

"I... I can't answer that anymore" she responded.

'You are changing princess, I prefer the you before you meet that foolish guy, he is dying then let him die" she said and Adora looked at her sternly.

'I would appreciate it if you don't question me right now, I don't need a close friend to piss me off right now, I have a lot of problems to deal with, don't add to it" she said and Nina scoffed.

"You have never been like this before, watch the path that you are going on, don't let it ruin your purpose in life" Nina replied then walked away and Adora got into the next car.

"Are you okay your highness?" the driver asked.

"Yeah I am fine, take me to Xue's coffee chop downtown please," she responded.

'Sure thing" he said as he drove off and she looked out the window looking at the buildings and the people as they pass by.

Upon arriving at the cafe, Adora noticed it was beside the bakery where Alix worked.

"I will be right back," she said as she fixed her mask and came out of the car.

? 'That's not a good idea," the driver said and she smiled.

'I need to get to know him whether I like it or not, I am not going to let him slip from my grasp, if he really is something powerful, I will have him work under me, he will be mine to command," she replied and a smirk appeared on the driver's face as he came out of the car and lit his cigarette.

"Good luck, I will always cheer you on," he said and she scoffed as she went to the bakery.

"Your.. your highness" Sally called out as the princess walked in and Alix peeked at her as he was cleaning the tables.

"Sally, I see business is booming lately," she said.

"Yeah we get most of our orders from the castle, now this bakery is a part cafe too, I have a lot of employees now but the best is Alix" she replied.

"The place is doing well it's getting lots of good reviews, soon you will expand, if you need help you can go to my father," she said and Sally smiled.

"You are kind, thank you princess" she replied with a smile as Adora looked at Alix when she sensed a sinister aura around her, her eyes widened as she looked around but saw nothing out of the ordinary in a city full of supernatural.

"Alix" she called out as she looked at him and his hands started trembling as his eyes started glowing red when he covered his face but she saw and a wicked smirk appeared on her face as she went to him.

"Look at me," she said.

'Your highness, why do you always bother me? what do you want now?" he asked as she grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out of the bakery with her taking him into the side alley.

'What are you doing?" he asked as she shoved him against the wall.

"Move your hand from your face Alix, I am not going to ask again," she said.

"I am not a monster," he said as he moved his hand and at the same time an arrow came flying at the princess and Alix was so fast that he shoved her aside and the arrow pierced his arm.

'Alix" she called out as she grabbed onto his arm.

"It seems as if someone has been following you around, I sensed this feeling before, it's not a good one," he said and she smiled.

"I will hand this," she said as she gently pulled the arrow out of his arm and sighed.

"Now, now, who is up or playing a little hide and seek?" she asked as she saw someone across the street staring at them, and a smile appeared on her face as she disappeared and reappeared behind the guy.

"She is fast," Alix said.

'You are just a coward, can't you face me alone?" she asked as she punched the person into a building and everyone stared at the princess as the guy got back up.

'Wait a minute, his target is not only me here" she said as she saw him looking at Alix and his hands were glowing blue.

"Oh no, Alix, run," she said as the guy blew a cloud of dust before Alix's face and he started pawning for breath as she rushed to him and the guy left.

"This is not it, he deliberately let me see him looking at us, the dust he blew looked like a gas, he is just playing with us," she thought.

"Damn it, I cannot go after him," she said.

"This is bad, he has to take part in the tournament, you cannot afford to be injured," she said as his eyes glowed and the black marks appeared on his body while she stared at him.

"Are you okay?" she asked as her driver came to them and passed her the sword.

"He is heading west, I will alert the LARS," he said.

'Go ahead, I think it's time they figure out what's going on but do me a favor, don't mention Alix at all," she replied as Alix stood up and looked at her.

"LARS, they are the people in the royal company created by the supernatural leaders in the kingdom right?" Alix asked.

'Yeah they are, they have to make sure that any supernatural being that goes rogue is contained, they help keep the peace," she responded as she stared at Alix.

"That was a poisonous gas, you know that right?" Adora asked

"I don't nor do I care, thanks for your help, whatever, go home" he responded and she sighed.

"Don't give me your bullshit Alix" she said as he looked at her sternly, his gaze was cold and it made her hand tremble.

"I asked you to leave me alone, I will not repeat myself too, my lady" he replied as he walked away and she smiled as her eyes glowed.
