Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 268 Girls Day Out

While waiting, Nina stretched off and looked at the decorations before smiling.

"I didn't expect you to stop by, Liza," Olivia said, and Liza smiled.

"It's her birthday; I decided she needed a break, so I took the day off from my duties; Yola will be joining the guys as well; well, it's just the six of us, girls, including Adora; this is going to be fun," Liza replied.

"Nice, finally a girls' day out," Sarah said, "I hope we don't get into any trouble."

"Same here, we should have lunch out and then ice cream," Olivia responded.

"Yeah, we can go get ice cream after," Nina said, and Eliza nodded as Adora had breakfast in the kitchen.

"So you girls ready for the day out?" Ayden asked after entering with the castle with the others.

"Yeah, we are," Sarah replied.

"I see you're all doing well," Liza commented, and they all smiled.

"Nice to see you Liza, have you been busy?" Kyris inquired.

"Yes, things have gotten a lot more difficult; are you all okay? Alix, how about you?" Liza inquired.

"I'm fine, you can say a lot has changed, glad you're doing good as well," he replied, and Liza smiled.

"Well, well, I am glad you guys are fine, but you sure have grown a lot, this is great," Liza said and they smiled.

"You can stay quiet around her if you like Alix, no problem, she irritates me too," Yola said as he entered the castle, and Alix scoffed.

"Nice to see you again," Yola said.

"You too, and she's fine, I'll handle it," Alix replied, and Yola laughed before patting Alix on the shoulder and Liza sighed.

"I feel like killing you both right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll fail; you're both stronger than me, so it's pointless," Liza said.

"No killing anyone," Adora replied as she approached them, and Liza grinned.

"Are you ready to go now?" Eliza asked.

"Before that, had your breakfast?" Nina asked.

"Yeah, I am, and I did have breakfast," Adora replied.

"That's good, then we're set," Sarah said as she, Olivia, and the others stood up and Yola approached Adora, who looked at him.

"Happy birthday," he said.

"Thank you; I'm glad to see you and Liza are doing well," she replied.

"And I'm glad to see you and your teams are fine, I know things have been a little out of hand lately," he said then she smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, we'll do our best to keep it under control," she replied as she walked away, then looked at Alix and smiled before leaving with the girls in one of the cars, this time without a driver; Olivia drove instead.

After a little while of driving, they arrived at the salon, Olivia parked the car, then they got out and went in, and since it was already time for their appointment, they sat down and the workers began doing their manicures and pedicure, followed by some nail designs.

While the girls were at the salon, the boys were at the castle, laughing and talking while helping around with a few other things.

"Alix, did you find the gift you were looking for to give the princess?" Kyris inquired.

"Yeah, after some thought, I think I found the perfect one," he replied, and Kyris smiled.

"That's great, I am sure she will love whatever you got her," he said and Alix smiled.

"I'm hoping so," he replied.

"Don't worry, Adora isn't the picky type, I have been by her side long enough to know that, the best part was seeing her reject the royal's wedding proposals, man, if they had come to see her personally, she would have sent them packing and I would have enjoyed it," he said and the others laughed.

"She definitely gets irritated with that stuff," Kyris's brother replied, and Kyris nodded.

"Yola, I have made a decision, I think it's what I should do so I am not staying home, I will continue to stay with the team and support them," Kyllan said and Yola looked at him and then sighed.

"Are you certain that's what you want?" Yola inquired.

"Yes, I am pretty sure I am more useful to them," he replied, and Yola smiled.

"So, I take it you have gotten the hang of using your new skills?" Yola asked.

"You can say I did after a lot of balance training with them," he responded, and Yola smiled.

"All right, then do whatever you want, as long as you be careful," Yola said, and Kyllan smiled.

"I really wish I could join you guys," Yola said.

"It's fine, you are strong, and I think you'll be needed here as well because if anything happens, the stronger ones will be able to defend the kingdom," Alix replied, and Yola smiled.

"Yeah, that's the only reason I agreed to stay back, even though there are hundreds of us who are strong like me, and the fewer people who go on Adora's mission, the better, and you're all strong, but you can't help but be worried, I just wish for all of this to be over soon but it really doesn't seem like it will be," Yola said.

"I think a lot wishes for the same thing, but it's not going to work that way, we will have to fight our way through this, which means getting stronger, pushing our powers to their limits, the enemy is stronger, I've met a few of them and I have already decided that their leader deserves nothing but death, I hate them," Alix replied as his eyes glowed red and they all left staring at him as a heavy feeling began to come from him.

"Well, you guys better work harder if you really intend to go head to head with the enemy since we all know that they cannot be underestimated or overestimated, Alix is right, getting stronger is the only thing that can be done in order to win this," the mage said, and Alix's eyes returned to normal and the heavy feeling disappeared too.
