Rise of the Malactric Heir-Chapter 487 Quite capable

At that moment, a lot of thoughts came to Adora's head but she didn't know which one to choose or which one was even real, for that was quite surprising to her, seeing them look like a bunch of ruffians.

The king and the queen, who was coming out of the castle at the time, flinched as they stared at Alix and the others and Xemon gasped as he got closer to them.

"What the hell is going on here right now?" Xemon asked as he approached them and Alix kept on looking at Adora, who stared at the blood on their bodies and she moved back a little then lowered her gaze.

"Hey, what's going on here? Why are you guys looking like that?" The king asked as he looked at them and Alix exhaled deeply as the demon lord appeared out of nowhere, beside Adora and she pulled her sword immediately.

The demon lord placed his hand on the sword as he glanced at her and Alix looked at her as well, then she sighed and the demon lord smiled at her before putting the sword down.

"Your reflexes are quite something else, fast and even sensed me early, nice," He said and Adora held onto her head a little, which was aching.

"Please answer the king's question, I am too tired to even ask," She replied and the demon lord glanced at her.

"You are tired? You?" The lord asked and her brows furrowed as Alix stepped forward and he glanced at him.

"I am sorry I didn't tell you about tis this morning before I left, Adora," He said and she looked at him as well as Ifrit and the others looked away from her immediately.

"It's fine, there is no need to apologize, but please explain this, why are you of all people, covered in blood?" She asked and Alix sighed.

"We did a small raid," The demon lord responded and Adora flinched.

"A raid? Where did you guys do such a thing?" She asked.

"On the base that was connected to the portal I opened yesterday," Alix responded ad Adora's eyes widened and the king and the others, exchanged glances, for they were not expecting something like that and didn't even know what to say.

"What were you guys even thinking?" She asked and Alix tilted his head a little to the right as he got closer to her.

"Adora, we didn't do anything wrong, they would have come here and kill anyway, there was nothing wrong with limiting their numbers, we didn't do anything wrong," He responded.

"I am not saying what you did was wrong, Alix, they would have come here and killed all those that defies them anyway, you are right but..." She said as she lowered her head and the stars markings appeared in her eyes.

"That was extremely reckless, but it was not wrong, the less of monstrous ones there are, the better but now, you guys should relax and wait, until that day, you understand what I am saying, don't you?" The king asked and they all looked at him then nodded and he smiled at them, thankful that they were okay.

"Adora, it was indeed reckless, but I was with them and they are all quite capable, you know that better than anyone else yet... Why are you angry?" The demon lord asked as he looked at her and Alix's eyes narrowed.

"I am not angry, I am just glad they are safe, if he had... Well, whatever, you guys go and freshen up then we will all have dinner," She responded as she was about to walk away, when she felt a sudden throb and she exhaled deeply, trying her best to ignore it.

'Not now, please I really don't like this feeling...' She thought before leaving and her father glanced at her with his eyes narrowed as she walked past him.

'Am I just imagining things or is something actually bothering her this time? It doesn't seem to be what Alix and the others were doing, if not that then what is going on with my child? There are a lot of things to worry about right now...' The king thought as he lowered his head and the queen looked at him then Alix sighed.

"I am going to go freshen up," Alix said as he went inside of the castle, clearly bothered by something else as well and the king exhaled deeply as everyone else went to freshen up and the maids prepared the dinner in the meantime.

Alix went to Adora room to freshen up and realized she was currently in the bath and he sat down to wait for her.

A little while after, when she was finished, she came out and he looked at her then she smiled at him before approaching him.

"Sorry about just now, I am just a little worried," She said and he smiled.

"It's fine, I understand, I should have at least said something, if you are angry, you have every right to be, I wouldn't mind, right now I can't pat you, hands are dirty, will do it later," He replied as he went to freshen u and he winked at her, causing her to blush then she chuckled and looked at her hands,

'I am tired of this part, I wish I can let it all out, let it go, now I have to pay the price for certain things as well, i just wished it...' She thought as her eyes glowed once again and she gritted her teeth before leaving the room. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝘤ℴ𝑚

A while after, when Zion had finished taking his bath, he got dressed then went down to meet the others.

"Hey, kid, come and eat your food, you will need it more," The demon lord said and Alix glanced at him then he nodded before sitting down with them, but then he noticed that Adora was not there to eat dinner with them and his brows furrowed then he sighed.

"Let's eat," The king said and they nodded then took their foods and began eating their dinner.

While they were eating, Adora was in the valley near the castle and was sitting under the tree with her head braced aginst it.

'Why is this happening and why now of all times? It's only going to get worst,' She thought as a bit of tears came to the side of her eyes, while she looked up at the stars.

As Alix was eating, he couldn't help but think of the way Adora was behaving and his brows furrowed as he hit his hand against the table and flung up from his seat.

"That's where I pull the line, I have had enough of that, it's time to talk," He said as he walked away, looking a bit agitated and everyone exchanged glances, wondering what was going to happen next.
