Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 207 Hayden's Job

Almost two days had passed on the train and things were getting pretty boring for them but they were nearing Elvetia's borders and knew they had to be patient.

Just after night fell that day, Adora was heading to another part of the train when she bumped into someone who she had met before arriving at Silna.

"Your highness," he said as he bowed his head, and she left staring at him in an empty corner of the train where no one was.

"You- What are you doing here too?" she asked because he was Ayden's family member that they first ran into, his brother and the guy smirked.

"Ah, you don't know my first name, call me Hayden, it's my real and very first name, my lady, it's good to see you, I haven't seen you ever since the ship incident, what a coincidence," he responded as her eyes narrowed.

"Shut it, don't act friendly with me, we're not friends, what are you doing here?" she asked as he leaned in close to her and her eyes glowed red.

"Come closer if you want to die," she said as the others heard her voice because she had left the door to their section open.

"She sounds angry," Alix said as he walked away to find out what she was upset about, and the others followed.

"Relax, I am just going in the same direction because I have a job to do," Hayden said.

"Oh really? What job might that be?" she asked and he grinned.

"Are you sure you want to know which job I'm talking about, my lady?" he inquired.

"You're up to no good, whatever," she said, and he laughed.

"I'm going after someone who used to be dear to you," he said as she was about to walk away and then stopped.

"What are you talking about Hayden?" she asked as his eyes narrowed.

"Oh? You really want to know, my job is to kill this person, but first I have to get that person alive, and if they refuse to come, I can simply do whatever I want, or something like that," he replied.

"Stop going around in circles and get to the point," she said.

"Fine, I'm going to the same kingdom as you because my target, his name is Vellon," he said, and her body began glowing red, and his eyes trembled as a result of the pressure from her aura, and she grabbed him by the neck, and a spike appeared in her hand, which she placed by his neck.

"Adora, what is going on?" Alix asked as they approached her and saw her holding Hayden.

"Hayden," Ayden called out and Hayden smiled.

"Hey bro, the princess and I are just having a chat," Hayden said.

"I don't believe so," Alix responded.

"If you lay a hand on Vellon before I determine whether he is truly evil or not, I will severely injure you; do not touch him," she said before releasing him and looking at Ayden.

"I'm sorry, Ayden, but..." she said.

"There's no need for you to apologize, Adora; Hayden, why are you going after Vellon when you have no idea what he's up to?" Ayden inquired as he approached his brother, and Hayden smirked.

"That's none of your concern," he replied, and Ayden laughed.

"Ayden, you don't belong here, that killer instinct you have is from us, you are a phantom, and it's time you accepted that," Hayden said, and Ayden's eyes began to glow blue.

"You people don't get to decide where I belong or what I am, that is none of your business, you stay away from the princess and Vellon, I am not going to tell you that again," Ayden replied, and Hayden chuckled as Adora fists clenched.

"I'm not kidding Hayden, you are going to regret going after him, now is not the best time," Adora said.

"Don't worry, I'm strong, I can handle myself, and I'm pretty sure I can trash Ayden here and remind him where he came from," Hayden replied, and Ayden chuckled.

"I guess my family, even kills people they aren't sure are guilty now, some title they have, I wish you all really burn in hell, I would be on cloud nine if the entire empire fell on its face, just go after Vellon and get in her way, I will break you, prove to you that I am way better than you guys," Ayden said as his body began to glow blue and Hayden's began to glow green.

"Ayden, do you really want to fight me now?" "I will take everything Adora taught you out of you, she is nothing but someone broken, not even strong, so I don't know why people fear her," Hayden said as Alix's body began to glow red and the air in the room became heavy. Adora looked at him and swallowed as Hayden's eyes trembled for his aura was just as strong.

"Anything else, and I'll make you regret even opening your mouth," Alix said, his eyes glowing red.

"That's enough, all of you, and Hayden, you underestimate Vellon, I don't know if he's evil or not, but he won't let anyone walk on him, you'll regret it either way," Adora warned, and Ayden grinned.

"Don't tell him anymore princess, let's just leave it be, if he gets his ass handed to him, it'll be good, he gets a lecture from the family that he so adores, he'll be walked upon, let's go," Ayden said as they walked away, and Adora grabbed Alix's hand and took him along with them.

"Are you all right now?" Adora inquired, and he smiled.

"Yeah of course I am, I don't see why I won't be," he responded as they went back to their section and locked the door then Adora looked at Ayden and lowered her head, knowing his brother might act without even considering that Vellon might be good, despite being friends with him, Adora always chooses to do the right thing, yes, she is not always right but she always believed that a person is innocent until proven guilty.
