Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 252 Bit Of Hope

"Yeah, I get why you made the decision to keep it a secret, if I were you, I would have probably done the same thing, all to protect, but some things are just not worth protecting, are they father?" she asked.

"No, some are just not worth it, not worth giving your life for," he responded. "But when there are multiple lives involved, even if it's not worth it and those are innocent lives, I guess you have a choice to make."

"You're right, I know that; I just wanted to hear what you had to say about it," she said and he chuckled.

"Adora, when you return, let's have a father-daughter dinner; I haven't had a good or, more accurately, long conversation with you since you were a child; do you think you can give me that much?" h e inquired, and she lowered her head.

"That I can give you, we're leaving here soon, I'll see you when we get back," she replied, and the king and queen both smiled when she said that.

"Okay then, it's settled, take care," he said.

"You, too," she replied before hanging up.

Adora then got up and saw Alix standing behind her and she left staring at him.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Were you worried about me?" she asked and his eyes narrowed.

"I came here to check on you because I was asked to and since you were talking to your dad, I didn't want to bother you," he explained, and she smiled.

"All right, let's go talk to the others; have you had your breakfast yet, Alix?" she asked as they exited the garden.

"Yeah I did, and they're also in the living room; did your father tell you everything you needed to know?" he asked.

"Yes, he didn't deny for once, and he told me the truth about the red crystal of darkness, it's a bringer of chaos," she replied, and he sighed.

"I'm curious what other news awaits us and who will inform us of it. Another foe?" he inquired, and she chuckled.

"Probably," she replied, to which he scoffed, and they proceeded to the living room, where the others awaited them.

"Well, guys, good news and bad news, father told me what he knows about the crystal, what it was used for, and how dangerous it is," Adora said as she entered the living room and sat down with Alix.

"I'm getting a bad vibe about this, but what is it?" Aerav inquired, and Adora smiled.

"There's no need to get so worried; just remember that this crystal lives up to its name; it causes chaos if it falls into the wrong hands," she replied, and Aerav sighed.

"What did your father say it was used for?" Ayden asked.

"I am sure it's nothing good," Kyllan added, and Adora sighed.

"You are correct, Kyllan, it was not used for good, to put it simply, it was used by my grandfather and his followers to do wrong things, for example, they wiped out an entire army with it, it was created by the Malactrics, draconics, and a few other races, it is dangerous and was said to be destroyed, but I don't think it was or completely destroyed at least, it can be used to create and destroy, the problem was not the crystal, it was people's greed, the one for power, it "She responded, and they all looked at her before exhaling deeply.

"If the enemy obtains it, there will be little hope left, a lot will be lost and feel as though everything is over and their feeling won't be completely wrong," Zavis said.

"True, they'd be more powerful than they are now," Zack replied, and Kyris glanced at Adora.

"Adora, what will you do if they get the crystal?" Kyris asked.

"I have a few tricks up my sleeve, and with the demon army on my side, I am not going down easily," she replied.

"What exactly do you mean by "demon army"? Will the demon lords intervene?" Yan inquired.

"Of course they will, they will not let anyone disturb their peace, I have the most powerful demon lord of all time by my side as well, he is serious about protecting our home, after all, we all made an alliance that cannot be broken that easily," she replied, and Yan sighed, feeling a little relieved.

"To be honest, that's good to know," Ayden said.

"Yeah, there's still a lot of hope," Sarah added, and Eliza nodded as Olivia smiled at Cameron.

"Well, guys, since we don't know the location yet, we'll be heading back home until we do," Adora said, and they exchanged glances while smiling.

"Give your father time when you return, Adora," the king said, and Adora smiled.

"I will, are you okay with us leaving so soon?" she asked to which he smiled.

"I am, I am glad you guys spent more time than I expected here," he responded, and they smiled. "I can't be too selfish now, I know you all have a lot going on, so I am fine with it, I just want you all to be careful."

"I'm glad to hear that; we'll be leaving tomorrow night; it's best if we leave at night," she said, and they all smiled.

"Okay then, we'll start packing, even though we have plenty of time," Kyris replied.

"Yeah you do, also if you guys want to stay a bit longer, tell me, do not hesitate," Adora said.

"Don't worry about that, we spent enough time here and had a good time too, right guys?" Kyris asked and they nodded.

"Alright, if you guys say so," she said then sighed and stretched off.

"Aren't you going to eat now Adora?" Nina asked and Adora looked at her and she grinned.

"Your breakfast is important and since I am still your assistant, I have a right to remind you," she said and Adora patted her on the head.

"I know, I'm going to eat right now," she replied with a smile, and Nina breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good, go eat, stop skipping meals," Nina said as Adora stood up and went to the kitchen to get her food while the rest of them relaxed in the living room, some watching TV and others scrolling through social media on their phones.
