Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 229 The Lady

While dancing with the guy Adora waited for him to answer her question.

"I heard who you were, I heard when the king said it, it's nice to meet you," the guy with black hair, fair skin, green eyes, and a slim body said before switching partners and Adora's eyes narrowed, then Alix grabbed her and pulled her close to him before someone else could.

"You know, it's possible that the enemies are among us," Alix said.

"I know, I just had a weird feeling," she replied.

"Same here, it doesn't matter," she said, bracing her head against his shoulder, and he looked at her as she tightly gripped his jacket.

"Are you all right?" he inquired.

"Yeah, I'm fine, you're cold Alix," she said after touching his hand, then looked at him.

'What the hell is this woman thinking?' he wondered as the music stopped and they moved apart.

"That was nice, thank you for the dance," she said as they curtsied.

"Thanks too, Adora," he replied, then raised up and they went to the others.

"Wasn't that exhausting?" Kyris inquired, and Adora smiled but did not respond.

"Was it Alix?" Nina asked as she placed her arm around his neck with a grin on her face and Alix smiled.

"No, it wasn't," he answered.

"Oh? Had a good time? "She inquired.

"I should ask you that, Nina," he replied, and she laughed as Vince approached Adora and grabbed her arm.

"What's the problem, Vince?" She inquired, and he pointed to a beautiful woman with black hair, and she sighed as she saw his father getting angry at the woman.

"Are you certain you want me to get involved with your parents?" He nodded yes with tears in his eyes when she asked.

"Go on, he seems to despise this, Adora," Alix said as she sighed, looking at the child.

"Come on," she said as she led them over to the king.

"Adora," he said, and the pretty woman turned to face him.

"A- Adora?" she said then looked at Vince and was about to touch him, but he hid behind Adora.

"Why are you causing a fuss?" Adora asked and Adrian sighed, then held onto Vince's hand and the woman scoffed.

"So you're the one poisoning their minds the most?" she inquired.

"You started it, mother," Vince pointed out.

'Adora obviously doesn't want to get involved in a family matter, but the boy requires it,' Alix reasoned.

"Vince," his mother said.

"Be quiet, you don't want everyone to know what's going on, do you?" Adora inquired, and the lady sighed.

"Hon, what's up?" a man asked as he approached the woman.

"Adora here is causing me problems; this is my son, and I have rights over him," she replied.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" the man asked as he reached for Adora, and Alix swatted his hand away.

"Just touch her and see what happens, and I'll break your limbs," Alix said, and Kyris chuckled.

"If I were you, I wouldn't make a fuss, people are having a good time at this party, make a commotion and I will make you regret coming here, listen to me carefully, he is your son, yes, no one can change that, but you betrayed his father, he loves you but..." Adora said then she looked at Vince, who smiled.

"Could you do me a favor, Vince?" Adora inquired.

"Certainly," he replied.

"Go play with the other kids, nothing bad will happen, I'll just talk to your mother," she said, and he smiled leaving to play with his friends.

"You have caused enough trouble, I swear, you get on my nerves, mother or not, I will destroy your life," Adrian said, clenching his fists, and the woman chuckled as Adora grabbed her hair and she looked at the girl.

"Listen to me carefully, woman, that is your son who loves you but doesn't want to be with you, you lost custody of him because you betrayed and tried to play his father, but failed, that child will always love you, but he wants to live in peace with his father, mess that up for him and I will make your life a living hell, I am not joking," Adora said as her eyes glowed red and Adrian along with the others smiled then she released her.

"You're insane," the guy next to her said.

"I can show you what crazy really looks like if you don't shut your trap," Alix replied, his eyes glowing blue, and the guy took a step back and lowered his head in fear.

"I despise people like you," Alix said, clenching his fists and Adora looked at him.

"Same here, you're a disgrace to motherhood, I suggest you leave this party before I embarrass you," Adora said, and the woman gnashed her teeth before leaving with her fiancee.

"I'm sorry, Adora," the king said as he lowered her head and she grinned, then tapped him on the shoulder and he looked at her.

"Don't worry, your son loves you, you are the perfect father too, his words too," she replied, and he smiled, then grabbed her arm, pulled her close to him, and hugged her tightly, and she smiled and hugged him back.

"Thank you, Adora," he said as she rose from him.

"You are welcome, seems like you can handle her though, keep up the good work," she replied and he scoffed.

"Thank you, you guys go ahead and enjoy the party, I will be right back," he said before leaving and Adora sighed.

"I'm hungry, let's eat," she said, and they went to the buffet to get their food, then sat by a table and began eating.

Adora clenched her fists as she ate, feeling a strong gaze on her.

"What the hell?" she muttered, and Kyllan gave her a sidelong glance.

"What's the matter?" he asked as she sipped her wine then looked at him and exhaled deeply.

"It's nothing," she replied, before finishing her meal and standing up.

"Where are you going?" Nina asked.

"Balcony, I need some fresh air," she replied.

"OK, be careful," Nina said.

"I will," Adora said as she stepped out onto the balcony and gazed up at the moon.
