Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 35 Scroll

Upon arriving home, Alix opened his door and noticed a parcel in his apartment.

'Okay, this is not creepy at all," he said as he collected the parcel then sighed.

"I wonder if there is some sort of bomb in here?" he asked while shaking the parcel then sighed and looked at it carefully when the wrappings suddenly removed themselves and the box opened.

'What the hell?" he asked as a scroll appeared before him and he stared at it as the box and the wrappings disappeared and the scroll fell into his palms.

"This is just creepy," he mumbled as he looked at the scroll wondering if he should open it or not but when he tried to open it, the scroll won't budge.

'I am not wasting my time with this, I put up with the princess all the time along with others and now this, yeah my life is bound to become hell," he thought as he placed the scroll on the table in the living room and went to freshen up.

While Alix was taking his bath two gold markings appeared at each end of the scroll but yet it didn't open.

When he finished he got dressed, went into the kitchen to make himself dinner.

After he finished, he came into the living room with his food and drink and began eating while looking at the television and also couldn't focus due to being distracted by the scroll.

'I wonder what's inside, but as one should know curiosity can kill, I have no intention of dying as yet, I have literally no reason to live either but Sally made me promise her that I wouldn't be reckless, I guess I have to keep that one also now I want to learn about what I am, who I am," he thought.

"Fluffy tails," the princess called out as she appeared in the living room of the castle, and Eliza flung up from her sleep then sighed upon seeing it was just the princess.

"Sorry, I was just a little..." she said as the princess sat down.

"Scared?" Adora asked.

"You can say that, we were just out scouting, they showed up out of nowhere dressed in red, white blue and black cloaks and had on red masks, they were scary and his magic surely surpassed mine, your highness, we are not safe anymore," she responded.

'I know that... I sensed it a little while ago when the sky lit up, something is in our kingdom, I am going to find it and milk information out of it, don't worry," she said and Eliza laughed.

"It's always nice to have you around, I am sorry if I disappointed you, as someone who has been training alongside you for years I didn't expect to be overwhelmed by someone else," she replied then Adora patted her on the head and her tailed wagged.

"You need to take some time off, maybe you can come with me to train my new team tomorrow, I will be taking them up the snow mountains, they need to adapt," Adora said.

"Sure, being around you feels safe, I would gladly come along," she replied and Adora smiled.

'Take the guest room I am going to sleep now, good night Eliza," she said.

'Good night princess," she replied and both of them went to their rooms.

"I am too tired, I used up a lot of energy healing those two," Adora mumbled as she went to take her bath while Eliza went to the guest room and without wasting any time went right back to sleep.

After the princess finished freshening up she went straight to her bed and with little time she fell asleep while Alix still pondered around the unknown scroll.

"This is no use, I am going to sleep now," Alix said as he went to the kitchen and washed the dishes he used.

"No use leaving you here either," he said as he grabbed onto the scroll and took it to his room with him and placed it by the head of the bed then went to sleep for he was very tired.

The next morning when the boy woke up, he stretched off only to look in the mirror and saw the scroll floating before him, his nails grew longer and his eyes turned red.

'This is so... not happening right now, if I am late for practice I am pretty sure the tyrannical princess will kill me," he said as he went back to normal and the scroll landed on the bed.

After Alix finished his morning routine he grabbed his things including the scroll, placed it in his bag, and took off to catch the train in time and he did.

Upon arriving at the castle Alix bumped into someone and the person fell to the ground.

"Alix, you are on time," the princess said then looked at the girl on the ground who was no other than Eliza.

"Sorry about that," he said as he brought forth his hand and the girl kept on staring at him while wagging her tail and a smirk appeared on her face as she helped his hand and he pulled her up.

"Eliza he shouldn't be apologizing," she said as Ayden along with Aerav and Sarah came.

"Everyone this is Eliza, she is half-wolf and also one of my teammates, she will be spectating your training today, you guys have no match," she said and they sighed in relief then downed their heads.

"Good morning your highness," they said with smiles on their faces and the princess patted Sarah on the head.

"You okay?" she asked.

'Yeah I am fine and roaring to go, thanks your highness," Sarah responded as the king came out and they bowed their heads in respect

"Good morning your highness," they all said and he scoffed then got into the car and left without even replying.

"I guess it's treason to kill your king," Adora said and they all gasped while looking at her as she walked away.
