Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 205 Departure

"Are you ready, your highness?" asked the conductor as he approached them, and she smiled.

"Yeah, we're ready, thank you," she replied, looking at the fancy train, and they sat in the most luxurious section, waiting for the train to depart.

"Well, this is nice and comfy," the others commented.

"It's not that different from the last train, so just take any room you want," Adora said as she sat down, opened her hair, and tied it up neatly in a bun.

"It's cold and nice in here as well," Zavis added.

"Your parents went above and beyond to make our travel days as comfortable as possible, and I appreciate it "Adora responded, and he sat down with a smile.

"Do you mind if we sleep?" he inquired, and she smiled.

"If it's okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, is it?" he asked and she sighed.

"I can't believe you're asking me that right now, of course, you can, you don't have anything else to do, go on, relax," she replied.

"All right," he said as he stood up and went to find a room.

"Are you not going to pick a room first, Adora?" Ayden inquired.

"No, no need to, go on and choose, I will take any, they are all the same, to be honest," she responded and he smiled then she closed her eyes and braced her head against the couch.

"Worried too?" Alix asked and she glanced at him.

"Too? Are you concerned about this as well?" He lowered his head as a red crest appeared within his palm, and she looked at it before he sighed and it vanished.

"It's my powers, can you remove the block once we get there?" he asked and she smiled.

"I can, but I also have another I need to release, it's been too long," she said, placing her hand on her chest as he looked at her.

"The one you talk to a lot?" he asked, and she smiled.

"Yeah, the one I talk to a lot, Alix," she replied, and he smiled as the train took off quickly and Adora pulled open the curtains to see outside, though no one could see inside the train due to the type of glass it had.

"This is moving pretty quickly," Cameron stated.

"Yeah, that is true, but it's better that way, the faster we will reach," Aerav said.

"True, but Adora "Are we in a rush?" Ayden inquired.

"Not at all," she replied, and he smiled.

"Adora, can they still get what they want now that they don't have me and you destroyed the other source?" Zavis asked as the others took their seats.

"It depends on how powerful their master is, to be honest, even if they get their hands on two or even one, depending on what his powers are, he might be able to cause the damage he wishes," she sighed.

"So he might get what he wants either way, which explains a lot," Alix said.

"He is neither overestimating himself nor his people, but..." Eliza said.

"He's still underestimating us, he still thinks we're weak, and to be honest, he's not that far off," Sarah said, and Kyris looked at them before turning to Adora.

"Adora," Nina said, and Adora turned to face them.

"You guys can't push yourselves too hard; it won't be good for you," Yan warned.

"Yan is correct," Olivia stated.

"I believe so as well," Kyllan said.

"And how about the rest of you?" Adora inquired.

"I still need to get stronger or I won't stand a chance," Aerav responded.

"It's the same here, Adora; I might have won that match, but I'm not stronger than my opponent," Ayden explained.

"I need to learn how to use my powers better as well, because right now I literally suck," Zavis said, as Adora sighed.

"Fine, the king's residence is quite large; I'll put you all to the test there," she replied.

"All of us?" Cameron asked.

"Yes, which means you're included; since you're all going to be one team soon enough, you might as well start training together more frequently; I'll enjoy this, I'm sure," she responded, and they exchanged glances.

"I wish my brother could come; I want you to train with him," Kyris said.

"Your brother lost to me before you know," she replied and he grinned.

"I know, I'd like to rub it in his face someday, but I don't want you two ripping each other's limbs off," he joked, and they laughed.

"Also, Adora, you have your own problem to deal with," Olivia said as Adora stood up and walked over to the glass window then looked outside.

"You mean Vellon?" she asked and Olivia lowered her head.

"Don't worry about him; I'll do my best to deal with it; and if he turns out to be evil, don't worry; he won't be able to harm you guys; as your leader, I have my responsibilities that I intend to fulfill," she responded, and they smiled.

"Oh, and guys, I trust all of you, and I hope you trust me as much as I trust you," she said. "If anything bothers any of you, just tell me what it is, and I will do my best to help."

"We'll keep that in mind, but maybe we should say the same thing to you, princess, you don't have to carry everything alone, we're not your team for nothing, it's about time you overshare, we'll wait if you're not ready yet," Alix replied with a smirk.

"That's good to know, Alix; I'll keep that in mind," she said, and he scoffed when her phone rang and she pulled it from her pocket to see it was her father calling.

"Hello," she said.

"Good morning, kid, you left already?" he inquired.

"Yeah, we're on the train," she replied.

"I see, well good luck on your trip and be careful, all of you," he said and she smiled a bit.

"Thank you, father," she replied.

"Adora, I'm going to ask you again: are you sure about this?" he asked.

"Yeah... "I'm sure father, I'll call you again once we arrive," she replied.

'Alright, bye," he said.

"Bye," she replied then hung up and she looked at the others.
