Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 284 Another Gate

'Of course you understand Alix, you have a lot you don't even know about,' Adora thought as she finished her food.

After everyone had finished eating, they went to their rooms, and Adora went to freshen up, after which she got dressed and sat down on her bed, stretching off, tired and wanting to sleep, but she had another thing to take care of at the time and wanted to get it done.

Adora grabbed her phone and called Alix, asking him to come to her room, and he arrived a short time later, having finished freshening up.

"Adora," he said as he walked into her room.

"Lock the door," she replied then he closed it and approached her.

"What's the matter Adora?" he asked.

"Remember what I said earlier about opening another gate?" she inquired.

"Yes, I do; are you going to do it now?" he asked, and she nodded.

"I don't mind," he replied, "but are you sure, you seem a little sleepy," she sighed.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine; just don't move, stay still, take a deep breath, and relax your body for me, that's the only way I will be able to open another gate, it will take a lot but I will be able to open it so just relax, let loose," she said, and he followed her instructions.

"Is that okay?" he inquired.

"Yeah," she replied, pressing her right palm against his chest, where his heart was.

Adora's eyes began to glow red and green along with Alix's body, and red gates with chains appeared in both of their minds, and her energy surrounded the chains, which began to shake, causing Alix's body to ache slightly and he gnashed his teeth as the chains began to break, and Adora infused more of her energy into his body, causing the chains to completely shatter along with the gate, which crumbled to pieces and then vanished.

Her body returned to normal after unlocking the next gate, and she moved her hand away from Alix, who opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Are you okay?" he asked as he grabbed her arm, and she nodded as his entire body began to glow bright orange, green with a bit of black mixed in between them, and Adora left staring at him, then he took a deep breath and his body returned to normal, and he placed her to sit on the bed.

"Thank you," he said.

"You're welcome, and be careful Alix," she replied.

"With the power?" he inquired, and she nodded.

"I'll be cautious, I see you're still wearing the necklace," he replied.

"It's fashionable, it literally goes with anything," she said, and he chuckled before sitting beside her on the bed and she yawned.

"That sapped your strength; I think you should go to sleep; your chances of getting a good night's rest now are good," he said, and she smiled.

"You're probably right, I'll be able to sleep without a problem," she replied as her eyes closed and he smiled at her.

"But?" he asked.

"But dreams, on the other hand, they aren't always pleasant," she responded, and he looked at her and then sighed.

"Yeah, I'm aware of that," he said because he had many.

"Yeah, I know you do Alix," she replied, then fell asleep and he grabbed onto her before she fell, lifted her up in his arms and placed her on the bed then covered her with her blanket and sighed.

'I understand too well,' he thought.

"Good night, Adora," he said as he exited her room and returned to his, where he climbed into his bed, sighed, and Alix promptly fell asleep since he was tired.

The next morning, when Adora woke up, she smiled.

'I really want to see his mushy side,' she thought, then looked at the time and realized it was getting late.

Adora jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. After she finished, she got dressed, grabbed her belongings, and exited her room.

"Good morning guys," she said as she entered the living room, and they all smiled.

"Good morning," they replied.

"Adora, come have breakfast with us; you guys have to leave in a few," the queen said, and Adora left staring at her.

"Sure, okay," she replied, and they all went to have breakfast in the dining hall.

"Did you sleep well?" Alix inquired, and Adora smiled as she looked at him.

"Yes, I did, thank to you, by the way," she responded, and Alix smiled as they started eating their breakfast so they wouldn't keep their young pilot waiting by being late.

"Are you ready to go, kids?" the king asked, and they nodded.

"Father, young Scott will be our pilot," she said, and the king glanced at her before smiling.

"Ah, yes, I forgot to tell you his father had business to attend to, but don't worry, he's a good pilot," the king replied and she smiled.

"I know father, no complaints, I met him yesterday," she said, and he relievedly sighed.

"Good, I am glad, he used to work as a LARS agent, but his dreams were not being fulfilled, the kid loves flying and if it's for a mission that's actually important, he wouldn't back down, working under the parliament was a bit of a problem, but now they all work directly under me, so that problem they've been facing is gone, they are all just relieved, they wanted the parliament gone and I am glad that you are giving him a chance," the king replied, and Adora sipped her coffee then smiled.

"Of course father, even without knowing all of that, I would have given him a chance, he seemed quite determined too," she said, as the king stretched and patted her on the head, her bangs falling in front of her face, and she sighed before he smiled and moved his hand away from her.

"Adora, I apologize for being late; I slept in, damn I was really tired; also, good morning everyone," Misran said as he entered the dining hall, and she looked at him.
