Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 452 Back



"Your highness, please don\'t mind if you may have to wait a few minutes, the king has been more busy than usual, spends half of his time doing different types of work lately," the guy said and Adora glanced at him then she sighed.

"This man... Why doesn\'t he listen?" she mumbled as her brows furrowed and after a few minutes of walking.

They arrived at the throne room and the guy knocked on the door and the king glanced at the door then sighed before giving permission to enter and the butler smiled.

"Please come in," the butler said as he opened the door and the others followed them in as the king was busy talking to other knights and the door closed behind them.

"Your highness," the butler said and the king lifted his right hand, showing him to wait for a few minutes and Alix peeked at the king and smiled a little at him.

"I am sorry, but you may want to take a look in this direction," the butler said and the king sighed.

"Fine, you have my undivided attention, what is it?" the king asked as he turned around then his eyes blinked as he looked at those who were standing with the butler and Adora stepped forward then the king tilted his head a little.

"You guys are actually back? It\'s true?" the king asked as he flung up from his throne.

"Your Highness, yeah, we are back, it\'s true," Alix responded as he bowed his head in respect for the man and the king smiled at him then Adora waved at him.

The king sighed in a bit of relief and he began approaching them, as they exchanged glances and he placed his hand on Alix\'s shoulder, patting him and Alix smiled at him then he looked at Adora, before approaching her.

"Adora," he said as he placed his hand on her shoulder and she glanced at his hand then placed her hand on it and the king closed his eyes as he clenched his left fist.

"Father, relax," she replied and he scoffed with a gentle smile on his face.

"From the way he is behaving, it looks as though, he was really worried about her, in fact, not just her, all of us,\' Alix thought then the king took his hand off of Adora\'s shoulder and she looked at him and was about to go say something, but at the same time, someone barged into the throne room.

"You guys are back," the queen said as she went to Adora and grabbed onto her hand with a smile on her face and Adora flinched before pulling back a little.

"Yeah... We are back," she replied and the queen chuckled.

"I am glad, you are all back safe and sound," the queen said as she glanced at Alix and then at Adora, a brighter smile appeared on her face and both, Alix and Adora, stared at her and the king exhaled deeply.

"Hey," the king said and the queen grinned then stepped back and sighed.

"I am sorry, I just got over-excited, it\'s good to see that you are all safe and sound," she said.

"We are glad that nothing has happened here as well, you are all fine," Alix replied and the queen nodded then Adora smiled a little.

"Yeah, we are all fine, I understand why you guys were worried as well, thank you, Alix," the queen said and Alix tilted his head a little to the right and Adora glanced at him then at her.

\'Well, these two as well as my father, they are getting along really well, hmm,\' Adora thought as her eyes narrowed.

\'The way the queen looks at me, it\'s like I am being thanked for being...\' Alix thought then his eyes narrowed and he glanced at Adora and sighed, with a smile on his face.

"That\'s enough now, shall we let them relax and then talk a little with them?" the king asked and the queen smiled at him then nodded and he patted her on her shoulder.

"Then, shall we go into the living room, have some snacks and talk, that way you guys will be able to relax as well?" the king asked and they looked at each other, with smiles on their faces, since they were feeling a little bit relaxed and they agreed to the king\'s offer.

"Sure," Alix responded and the king smiled.

"Thank you for bringing them, I will be taking a bit of time off, tell that one," the king said.

"As you wish, your highness," the butler replied then left the throne room and the king sighed as he looked at Adora as well as the others and smiled a little.

\'They are just kids and yet they have to deal with so much, it irritates me the way their lives...\' he thought and Alix glanced at him and his brows furrowed.

\'Well, I am not going to waste too much time, we will relax a bit then the truth, it\'s best if they know as soon as possible as well,\' Alix thought.

The king walked away and they followed him out of the throne room and went directly to the living room, where they saw that the servants were placing snacks and drinks for them on the table.

The king as well as the others thanked them then the servants smiled and they left the room, after which everyone took their seats.

"Before anything, go ahead and help yourselves," the queen said and they nodded.

Each of them took what they wanted to eat as well as drink and when they finished, they began eating and the king looked at Zack as well as the ones that weren\'t with them before.

A few minutes later, Alix looked at the king " Your Highness, we have important things to share with you," Alix said and the king looked at him with his eyes narrowed, wanting to know what more they found out.
