Rise of the Malactric Heir

"What exactly are you doing here?" She asked, and one of the guys approached her and hugged her, and she smiled as she patted him on the shoulder because he was one of her best friends Yan, but the question was directed to the one in the hood, not Yan.

"Nina, it's good to see you, Adora you too," Yan said, and Nina smiled brightly as Adora looked at the other guy, then he sighed and removed his hood as her eyes shimmered.

"Are you not happy to see me?" he asked, and she clearly smiled as she ran to him, and he hugged her tightly as she wrapped her arms around him while the others stared.

"That was unexpected," Alix said, then Nina patted him on the shoulder.

"That's her master," Nina said, and they all gasped as they looked at him. Adora then rose off of him and he patted her on the head.

"How do I address him?" Alix inquired, and her master turned to look at him, then at Adora.

"You've got yourself a new crew," he said looking at her with his piercing green eyes, and she sighed.

"I did," she admitted.

"His name is Kyris," Nina said.

Kyris was tall, with long black hair, a muscular body, a slim face, and fair skin, whereas Yan was tall, slim, fair, with brown eyes and raven black hair.

"Are you two close?" Kyris inquired as Adora lowered her head and smiled.

"It's fine, a few of your other friends are inside, they've been waiting for you; if possible, I'd like to talk to you alone later," Kyris explained.

"Sure," she said.

"Come on guys, let me show you where you'll be staying," the prince said as they followed him into the castle, which was bright white, fancy, and mixed with a few ancient artifacts. There was even a small fountain in the middle of the hallway, just before the stairwell and under a chandelier.

"Your castle is lovely," Adora said.

"Thank you, your highness, this is the living room," he said as they entered, and Aerav along with Ayden sat down right away, and the prince smiled as a few maids came in and placed trays full of delicacies on the table.

"You guys relax and we'll talk about the problems we're currently dealing with; your belongings have been taken to your respective rooms and will be shown to you when you're ready," the prince said as he sat down with the others.

"Where have you been all this time, Kyris?" Adora asked and he clenched his fists.

"Missions," he said, and she scoffed.

"You're lying to me about something, I hate it when you lie to me, you know that yet you do it," she said as two girls and another guy walked in.

They bowed and said, "Your highness."

"No need for formality, guys," she said as they smiled and stood up.

"Guys, you've already met my master and Yan, but these are the others I've trained with, including the busty blonde Olivia.

"Hey guys," she said, winking and waving her hand.

"My name is Isabella," the black-haired big breast girl said with a smile, and Ayden whistled and she smiled.

"The last one is a bit cranky, you could say crazy, and he loves to kill at times, Cameron," she explained as the muscular, black-haired and fair skin guy looked at them sternly causing them to pull back nervously.

"Yo, "he said with a smile as Sarah smiled at his biceps.

"He's hot,' "She stated.

"Thanks," he responded with a wink, and her cheeks turned pink.

"You are useless, flirting at first sight," Adora said, and they both laughed.

"Nice to see you too, Adora," Cameron said as they sat.

"Where were you three?" she inquired.

"The magical parliament had the king send us on many missions, your highness, we hardly got any break..." Isabella spoke, causing Adora to sigh .

"What exactly is it, Cameron?" Adora inquired, noticing his worried expression.

"Do you consider me a monster, Your Highness?" He asked, and her eyes widened as she approached him, and he lowered his head, and she sat beside him.

"What did they say to you?" she asked then looked at Olivia who frowned.

"Adora, they're deliberately giving him missions after missions," Kyris said.

"That suicide," Alix said, and Adora gave him a sidelong glance.

"You are correct, it is suicide," Kyris replied, smiling.

"Why are they doing that?" inquired the prince.

"Even I'm not sure what they'll gain from it," Yola said.

"If they consider him a dangerous monster, obviously they feel threatened; I'd say they're looking for a way out," Alix said, and they all looked at him as he smiled.

"You are correct, they wanted him to stay away because they consider him a monster, but he is only a man-beast, I will deal with this when I return, Cameron and his team are no longer in service, no more missions, is that clear?" she asked and Cameron smiled then nodded his head in agreement with the princess.

"Are you certain you want to face the magical parliament?" Yola questioned.

"Yeah, what they're doing is wrong, and I'll talk to my father about it," she replied.

"Your father is also busy," Kyris said, and Adora looked at him as everyone stared, sensing tension between the two, and the air began to get chilly.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"That is, he is looking for the thing that killed your mother, and I am sure by now you realize this is all connected," Kyris replied, and Adora's eyes began to glow red.

"She's getting angry," Alix mumbled, and Nina gave a nervous smile.

"I believe it is all connected, your highness, one of those who attacked my men is a demon," the prince said, and she finally looked at him, more concerned than ever.

"If things continue as they are, we will all be in a corner, which means there may be no winning if we don't figure out what's really going on and what's connected to what, your highness," Alix said and she smiled.
