Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 59 Happy Birthday!



"Ah, I got the hang of it for now," Alix said as he rose from the ground, smiling.

"The princess sure slept a long time," Alix said as he walked back to the castle.

"That idiot\'s 19th birthday is tomorrow," Adora said as she exited her room.

"Nina," she called out as she entered the living room, but she couldn\'t find the girl.

"Has anyone seen Nina?" she asked.

"I\'m here," Nina said as she entered the living room.

"Ah, did you get what I told you to get?" Adora questioned.

"Yeah, I got them all, the prince had the maids help me and the others set it up as well, everything is ready for midnight," she replied.

"All right, thank you guys, I\'m sorry I couldn\'t help," Adora said as Yan approached her and patted her on the shoulder.

"You, too, need to get some rest," he said, and Adora smiled.

"I\'m going to get something nice and cold to drink," Adora said as she went to the kitchen then started coughing.

"Where is the princess?" Alix questioned as he entered the living room, and Nina smiled nervously.

"What exactly are you doing here?" Nina asked.

"Would you like me to train all night?" "How awful, Nina," he replied.

"Huh? "No, that\'s not what I meant," she pouted, and he smiled as he patted her on the shoulder.

"Where has the princess gone?" "I\'d like to speak with her," he said.

"What\'s up?" Adora asked as she entered with a glass of wine, and he grabbed her arm, pulling her away from the others.

"You don\'t have permission to touch me; my body is off-limits," she said, smiling.

"Adora," someone said, and her eyes widened and trembled.

"What\'s the matter, Adora?" Alix asked as she squeezed his arm. His eyes widened as she fainted in front of him, but he lifted her up in his arms.

"What happened, Adora?" Kyris questioned as he approached them.

"I- I\'m not sure," Alix replied as the thing within her awoke.

"Adora, you can\'t let them see you, wake up," it said, and her hands trembled as her body started glowing then it began to float in the air.

\'Wake up,\' the thing yelled, and her eyes opened immediately.

"I\'m sorry guys," she apologized as she returned to the floor and her body stopped glowing.

"Are you all right, Adora?" Alix asked.

"I\'ll be out until midnight, don\'t come looking for me, and that\'s a direct order, any of you defy me and I\'ll lose a screw," she said as she walked away, and Kyris swallowed deeply.

"I have a bad feeling," he said.

"Do I have to follow her?" Nina inquired.

"When she\'s like that, it only means something has irritated her; let her be; I\'ve seen that look before; I\'ve felt a punch from her as well; I\'ve tried many times to stop her from doing stupid things, but she won\'t listen; let her be..." Kyris responded, and they both sighed.

"What\'s got her ticked off?" Alix asked.

"No one knows, that woman has a lot of secrets, in my eyes I would say burden, too much for normal people like us to shoulder, yet she has been doing it for years," Kyris responded.

"She is really something else, isn\'t she?" the prince said with a sigh.

"Yeah, she is," Alix said and liza smiled.

"Well guys let\'s get dinner and head to bed early, the princess said she had something planned for later, we don\'t want to be late for it," Eliza said and they smiled as they walked to the dining hall.

"Thank you for waking me up," Adora said as she walked alongside the lake where she was training.

"He is here isn\'t he?" it asked.

"He sure is, let\'s enjoy this night then we will deal with it, I bet me might be the one here for the crystal," she responded with a wicked smirk as her eyes glowed red.

Later that night, after everyone had gone to bed, Adora went back to her room and waited for midnight; the girl was sleepy and tired from all of the craziness, and she wanted to sleep but didn\'t.

When midnight came, the others awoke, and Adora went to Alix\'s room, where she saw him sleeping and smiled.

"You appear to be at peace," she said as she sat by his side and rested her hand on his stomach.

"Alix," she said, and he opened his eyes before wiping them.

"Huh? "What are you doing here, your highness?" he inquired.

"I came to say hello," she replied, and he sighed as he looked at the clock.

"In the middle of the night?" he questioned, and she smiled.

"Is that a bad thing?" she asked.

"No, no, it\'s not, did something happen?" he asked.

"Please put this one," she said as she handed him a blindfold and he collected it.

"What\'s this for?" he inquired.

"Don\'t you trust me?" she asked and he sighed before putting it on and getting out of bed.

"I will guide you, relax," she said as she walked out with him to the living room.

"We\'ve arrived," she said, looking around at the others and the cake on the table.

"This is for you," Adora said as she removed the blindfold, and everyone yelled happy birthday.

"You guys," he said, looking around at the balloons and cake before turning to Adora, who smiled.

"Happy birthday, Alix," she said.

"Thank you," he replied as he went to the cake and cut it, then took the first slice and prepared to feed Adora, but she was wearing the mask.

"Sorry Alix, I can\'t take it off," she said, taking the cake from him and then fed to him instead.

"Happy birthday, once again," she said, and he smiled widely because he had never had anything like that done for him before.

"I really appreciate it, guys," he said.

"Yeah, you deserve it," Ayden said as he opened the wine, and they laughed as Adora stared at them.
