Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 177 The Beauty Behind The Mask

After a little while of driving, they finally arrived back at the castle and went inside where they saw the king and queen eating while watching the television.

"Congratulations on your victory," they said.

"Thank you," the others replied as they sat down.

"You guys need a lot of rest after this," the king said. "I would say your hard work paid off."

"I believe the same," the queen responded.

"They do deserve a long break," Adora said, smiling as Alix looked at her.

"Well, you guys have dinner," the queen said as the maids brought in the food and drinks and left, leaving Adora with a sigh.

"Are you ready, guys?" she inquired.

"Are you going to reveal your face now?" Sarah inquired.

"Yeah, I am," she responded and Sarah smiled brightly upon hearing that.

"Are you going to take it off now?" the queen inquired.

"Yeah, I am," she said.

"You do realize you don't have to do it if you don't want to, right?" Alix inquired, her gaze fixed on him.

"Yeah, I know that," she replied as her hair grew longer and she removed her mask as they stared at her, and her right eye color changed to gold and the other to blue mixed with purple, and she smiled at them.

"Woah, you are really, really pretty, more than pretty," Ayden exclaimed.

"Thank you," she said, looking at Alix, and he smiled as both of her eyes returned to light blue.

The girl had a slim face, a well-aligned and straight nose, fair and perfect skin.

"What do you think of her, Alix? Isn't she one of the most beautiful girls you have ever seen?" Eliza inquired, but he simply smiled without responding, and Adora tucked her hair into a ponytail and sat beside Alix.

"I can finally breathe properly," she said and Kyris patted her on her shoulder.

"You are really lovely, Adora," the queen said, smiling.

"Thank you very much, aunt," she replied.

"You are welcome, your smile reminds me of your mother," she said, and Adora smiled.

"I hear that a lot," she replied as they all began eating their dinner and they couldn't help but constantly look at Adora.

While eating Adora sighed in relief for she felt a bit free.

"She appears pleased," Yan said to Nina, who smiled.

"I'm glad she is a little free, but this can mean more trouble because she can't hide or pretend now," Nina explained.

"I understand why you are worried, Nina, but I think you should relax a little," Yan said as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Come on, finish your food," Yan said, and Nina rose off of him and continued eating.

After everyone finished eating, Adora took out her phone and left the living room and went out to where the waterfall was.

"Hello, father," she said after calling him and he answered.

"Adora, are you all right?" he inquired, and she smiled slightly.

"Yeah, I am fine, father, sorry I took so long to call back," she replied, and the king smiled as he stood in his office and she gazed up at the night sky.

"It's fine, Adora; I am just glad you are okay; I heard what's been going on and thought I'd check in; congratulations on the win." he said.

"Thank you, also father a lot of things are going to happen, you should be more careful," she replied while clenching her fists.

"I know, I know of the sources and the genome editing, I know Vellon, and I know I'm missing a few things," he admitted.

"Don't dig into it, I am going to handle it, though this will be a fight I don't know if there is a coming back from, I am saying this at once," she replied.

"Should I be more concerned here, Adora?" he asked, and she chuckled.

"Nope, by the way, I wanted you to know I did the face reveal in front of my team, so don't be surprised if you see my face flashing before the internet soon," she said, and he chuckled.

"Got it, I know thing hasn't been going well for us Adora," he said.

"Let's not get into that; just be careful; I will talk to you another time," she said.

"All right, kid, good night," he replied.

"Good night, father," she said before hanging up and taking a deep breath.

"Your highness," the dragon said as she flew up in front of Adora.

"Jade," she said, smiling.

"Are you all right?" Jade inquired.

"I am fine, you are usually asleep at this time, what are you up to?" Adora inquired.

"Even dragons have sleepless nights, my lady," she responded as Adora lowered her head

"There might be no come back from this fight, huh?" Jade asked and Adora looked at her.

"Perhaps, it's been a fight I have been looking forward to," she responded. "They know they can't get their hands on Zavis or this source, but it doesn't matter because even one of the sources can cause a lot of destruction."

"Then are you planning on trying to get to them all first?" Alix asked as he came outside along with the others.

"Yes, I am, the enemy, and I have a lot to talk about as well," she replied, her smile faded.

"Though you guys have a choice, you don't have to come along, you can go back home," Adora said as they exchanged glances.

"I don't think they want to go home," Kyllan said, approaching her and wrapping his arm around her neck.

"I believe he is correct, and we have a lot more to learn, and you and I have a lot to talk about, don't we, your highness?" Alix inquired and she sighed.

"Whatever, do as you all please," she said and they laughed as Adora looked up at the moon and smiled.

"One, two, three," Adora said as she soared through the air, her hair blowing up as she gazed at the bright moon before her, and Kyris smiled.

"She is a little happy for now," Kyris said as she threw herself backward and fell down.
