Rise of the Malactric Heir

"Since we're discussing our adventures, why don't you tell us what you are up to, your majesty? Maybe some of your life's adventures?" Isabella asked and Adora looked at her as the tiger returned to her and she patted it on the head before it sat beside her.

"I have had a lot of adventures in life, some of which I don't want to remember, some of which I can't talk about, the things I've done, I am no saint you know, it's best not to ask me certain things Isa," she replied, smiling.

"I see, are they that bad?" Isabella inquired.

"Isa, it's best not to ask, am I clear?" Kyris asked.

"What's the matter with you? I just want to know her a bit more, is it a crime to want to know the person you work under?" she asked as Kyris gave her a stern look.

"I just-" Kyris said as Adora rose to her feet.

"Enough, listen carefully, you guys are a great team, I want you to work as one, and if you don't trust me just because you don't know things about me, you are free to leave, I will not tie anyone down, I am sorry, simple questions I will answer, certain questions, I just can't, Kyris, don't get angry over certain things, let it be," she said, and he sighed.

"Okay, I'll go get a drink," Kyris said.

'K-" she mumbled, and he gave her a worried look, and she lowered her head as Alix looked at them.

"Your highness," Alix said, and she smiled.

"It'll be night soon, you guys, do what you want, see ya," she said as she walked away, and the tiger vanished.

"Do you think I was wrong, Cameron?" Isabella inquired, and he sighed.

"You were wrong," Alix said.

'Brat, what did you say?' She asked, flinging herself up in rage, and he looked at her as if she was nothing.

"You heard me, you more than know the princess doesn't talk about certain things yet you asked the question so I'll answer it instead of your teammate, you were wrong and it would be best for you to admit it," he replied as she was about to attack him with her sword but he pulled his out blocking her attacking and her eyes widened as everyone looked at them.

"That's enough from both of you," Nina said.

"Don't go attacking the princess's students, Isabella; the consequences will be dire," Nina warned then they placed their weapons away and Yan sighed.

"Isabella, you're wrong, Alix is right, if he hurt you, don't go, whining," Liza said, as Isabella clenched her fists and Alix looked at her.

"There's something off about this witch; she appears simple and sweet, but in reality, she's worse than a bitch," Alix thought with a smirk on his face.

"I won't fight someone like her, even if she is strong, she is a waste of time, you are an eyesore if you can't trust the princess just because you don't know that much about her, you are worthless in my eyes," Alix said coldly as he walked away, and the others stared at him because he had never spoken like that before.

"Man, she actually made me angry, you don't need to know a person's life history to trust them, especially if they did a lot for you, she irritates me," Alix thought as the sun went down and everyone decided to return to the castle without saying anything about what happened to the princess.

When he returned to the castle, one of the maids led him to his room, where he removed his shirt, locked the door, and threw himself on the bed.

"Why am I getting more agitated?" he wondered as he clenched his fists. Then the scroll appeared before him, glowing, and he looked at it as it opened up, revealing a few hidden markings.

"What the hell is this?" he exclaimed, looking at the image, which showed him a bright green crystal in the same kingdom.

"Why am I being shown this?" he wondered as the scroll stopped glowing.

"Perhaps it means something, this kingdom was not attacked randomly," Alix reasoned as he rolled up the scroll, grabbed his shirt, put it on, and rushed out of the room to see the princess.

When he arrived at her room, he knocked but received no response, but saw the door was open so he entered.

"Your highness," he said as he walked in and saw the princess chatting with Kyris on the balcony.

"Your highness," he said, and she immediately turned away, and his eyes widened as he realized she wasn't wearing her mask.

"I didn't see her face, but I know she's not wearing her mask," he reasoned.

"Alix,' Kyris exclaimed.

"Sorry, the door was open and I knocked, like the last time, I will return later," he said, and she laughed.

"Wait, Alix," she said as she turned to face him with her mask on.

"It's fine; what's the problem?" she asked and Kyris looked at her then smiled.

"Can I talk to you alone?" he asked.

"It's fine, you can trust Kyris," she said as he let go of the scroll, which began floating and opening up.

"What exactly is that?" Kyris inquired.

"Wait a minute, these are extremely rare; it's a magical artifact that sometimes reveals hidden things and sometimes powerful things; there's no telling what this thing can discover, but I could be wrong about discovering things, some magical scrolls are used differently," Kyris said and Adora sighed.

"That's cool," Adora said, "but what's that crystal, it's the only thing showing on the scroll and it's here, in this kingdom".

"Yeah, I was thinking, whoever attacked might have been looking for something, maybe you can talk to the prince about it," Alix replied.

"Hmm, okay I will do that, you are doing well Alix, both of you follow me," she said as she walked away, and they did so quietly.
