Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 326 Cold

"Adora," Serina called out as she approached Adora's room and the girl glanced at her.

"Serina, come on in," she said, and the girl sighed as she entered the room.

"I wanted to confirm, are you really okay with me staying?" she asked and Adora smiled.

"You shouldn't even be asking that, of course, I am, I don't mind if everyone comes, as far as I am concerned, we can all stay, it's fine, Serina," she responded, and the girl sighed in relief as Kyris entered the room and Adora looked at him, then he winked at her and she scoffed.

"Serina, I now task you with disciplining this guy; I believe he is in desperate need of it," Adora said, and Kyris laughed.

"Oh really? Do you think that as well, Serina?" Kyris asked and she looked at him, then at Adora.

"I think she is right," she responded and Adora chuckled as he stared at them.

"This is so not fair," Kyris said.

"What's not fair?" Alix asked as he approached them and Kyris sighed.

"These girls are teaming up against us," Kyris responded and Alix chuckled.

"I see, don't worry, we'll get to them one by one," Alix said as he looked at Adora, and she looked back, then he winked at her, and her cheeks flushed as she lowered her head.

"Alright, it's late, I'm going to sleep, you guys can trash it out, no problem," Adora said as she leaned back on her bed and they looked at her.

"Well, I'm off to my bed, good night guys," Serina said.

"Good night," they replied, then she and Kyris left and Adora stretched off as Alix braced against her room door and she looked at him.

"Aren't you going to tell me to leave?" he asked.

"No, I don't think I will, I'm not sure I want to, you can stay over here if you want, I wonder what you'll tell them when they ask why," she responded, and he scoffed.

"I don't intend to stay, relax, and good night," he said.

"Are you sure?" she inquired, his eyes narrowing.

"Go to sleep, before you regret asking that," he responded then closed the door and left and she chuckled before yawning and Alix went to his bed, but didn't take long to fall asleep.

Adora fell asleep without having any nightmares after a while of thinking about certain things.

She had a few nightmares that night, but none were frightening enough to wake her up.

When Alix woke up the next morning, he freshened up and went through his normal morning routine before leaving his room to go to the living room, but on his way there, he collided with Adora and she nearly fell down the stair, but he grabbed her and pulled her towards him, and she looked at his hand which wrapped around her waist, then she lowered her head.

"Are you okay?" he asked, before she sneezed and he smiled.

"Excuse me, and yes, I am fine, thank you," she responded before he let her go and looked at her.

"Do you have a cold?" he inquired.

"I'm not sure, I won't call it a cold," she replied.

"All right then, Adora, good morning," he said, and she smiled.

"Good morning, Alix," she replied as they walked down the stairs. They heard someone else sneeze, and Adora looked up to see it was Kyris, and she smiled, wanting to laugh but didn't.

"Have you caught a cold, Kyris?" Alix asked, and Kyris sighed as he looked at him.

"Seems like it, did anyone else catch it?" Kyris asked and Serina placed her hand up along with Zavis and Adora smiled as she sat down.

"I believe I caught it as well, but I'm not sure," Adora said as the others brought out the breakfast and they all took their food to eat because they were hungry.

"Your highness," Scott said and she looked at him.

"What is it, Scott?" she asked.

"I just wanted to let you know that I refilled the ship's fuel, and it's full again," he responded, and she smiled.

"That's good, it will be ready to go when we want, go on, eat," she said and he smiled.

While eating, Adora sneezed, then someone tapped her on the shoulder and she turned around to see it was Alix and he handed her a cup of coffee which she collected then sighed.

"Thank you," she said and he smiled.

"You are welcome, the warmth will do you good," he replied, then continued eating and she smiled.

"What do you want to tell your father, Nessa?" Misran asked, and she sighed as she looked at him.

"Ah, yes, you're unaware of it because you weren't present that day," she responded.

"Huh? What are you talking about? What day? "He asked, and she looked at him.

"The day we met the Draconics," she responded and he left staring at her.

"Draconics, I see. You didn't tell your father when you first met them? "He inquired.

"Yes, I didn't tell him," she admitted.

"Those are important details; do you understand what this means?" he asked.

"I didn't tell him because he wasn't in a position to know at the time, but now he is, he got his head together, and yes, I know what it means," she responded and he sighed.

"Are you saying the Malactrics, those monstrous beings, could have survivors?" Serina asked and Ador glanced at her.

"I won't address them that way, Serina," Adora responded.

"They could be survivors, which would be fantastic if they were on our side rather than the enemies," Misran said, as Adora sighed.

"You're correct, but can we not think about them right now?" Adora asked as she lowered her head while clutching Alix's shirt, and he smiled as he glanced at her.

"We can talk about it another time," Alix said, "I think we have bigger problems to deal with."

"You're right, let's just finish our breakfast and then we can talk about other things," Kyllan replied, as they all continued to eat their food and Adora smiled before releasing Alix's shirt and sipping her coffee.
