Rise of the Malactric Heir



The king sipped a cup of tea, after hearing what Alix said and Adora glanced at him, wondering whether or not he was going to tell her father about everything now and her brows furrowed.

The king sighed, then looked at Alix and the queen glanced at him, wondering as well what it was that they all found out.

"Fine, I will listen to you guys, what is it that you kids have to tell me?" he asked and Alix looked at Adora and her brows furrowed as she looked at him and his eyes narrowed then he looked at the king.

"What exactly did you kids find on your journey?" the queen asked and Alix smiled at her.

"A lot of things, almost everything about what more the Malactrics had to do with this as well, it turns out this started there, but you already knew that, right, your highness?" Alix asked as he looked at Adora's father and the king glanced at him then sighed.

"Yeah, of course, I suspected and did my own share of digging, I knew that the origin of this problem are the malactrics but that's not what really matters, what matters is that they were likely betrayed by someone very close to them or someone else, someone from behind the scene, I will tell you why I started digging into this more but yet didn't get much from anything," the king responded.

Adora looked at her father as he placed the cup of tea down and he exhaled deeply before looking up at the ceiling and the queen lowered her head at the very same time as everyone else looked on at what was going on at the time.

"Adora knows a little about this bot much so I am going to tell you, the previous king of the Malactric's heir was almost like a brother to me, we were best of friends, as were Adora's mother and his wife," the king said and the queen nodded.

"It's true, you guys know that as well right?" the queen asked and they smiled at them.

"We do, most part of the role the king and the previous queen played in the king and queen of the Malactric's life, we heard quite a few things, you guys had your own adventures together as well, you guys were closer than most family, right?" Alix asked and the king tilted his head as he looked at Alix and the queen stared at him.

"How do you guys know so much about that when I have only mentioned certain things to Addora?" the king asked as he looked at Adora and she shrugged with a smile on her face and the others looked at each other then laughed and the queen's eyes blinked.

"What's going on?" the queen asked and Adora sighed then looked at Alix, who chuckled.

"I will explain, please don't get too confused," Alix responded and the king and queen exchanged glances then they nodded and Alix smiled at them.

"We heard off all of this from someone from the past, someone who knew you guys and was among you when some of the things happened, he knew you guys well," Alix said and the king's brows furrowed.

"One that was among us? I haven't seen any from there for a very long time, how could you guys possibly?" the king asked as placed his hand on his head and Alix scoffed.

"We will tell you how we know of all of this to clear the confusion, but in a few minutes then you will tell us your side, what you knew and what you found out now so we will all be able to help each other, is that okay?" Alix asked and her father looked at him.

Adora smiled as she looked at Alix then poured herself a glass of drink and the king sighed then smiled at Alix.

"Sounds fine to me, I look forward to hearing everything, sharing our information right now is the best option, especially with everything that's going and what's about to come," the king responded.

"Exactly, now, it's our first day back, we will tell you some of the main things we found then leave the rest for another day since there is much to do, is that okay with you?" Alix asked and the king looked at his wife, who nodded.

"Yeah, I understand that you guys are tired as well, go on," the king responded and Adora looked at Alix at the same time and he glanced at her as her eyes blinked and he smiled.

'He... He is not going to tell him he is the heir as yet, he was just messing around a little, I am glad, that can be told another day,' she thought then sighed in relief and Alix scoffed.

"We also found out what exactly happened the night when the land of the Malactrics suddenly disappeared from the map and when they died as well," Alix said and the king left staring at him, then lowered his head a little, as he thought about Alix's parents and he clenched his right fist.

"I see, so you guys found out everything, well, there is nothing that we could have done to even help them back then, everything fell there on the night that they died, we didn't even get a chance to move a finger towards doing..." the king replied as he gritted his teeth and Alix's brows furrowed as he looked at them.

"You don't need to feel guilty about anything, there was nothing that you could have done that night, there was too much at risk, only so much could have been done at that moment, you guys still tried, you were all indeed more than just a family," Alix said and the king looked at him then he smiled a little.

"I know, but sometimes you can't help but feel that way, we were indeed more than just a family, everything was in place back then, now everything is lost, I will tell you guys, how I first started investigating and how much I found out," the king replied.

"I see, that's good to know, also, we found the Malactric's home, the place that you guys couldn't find on the map, anymore," Alix said and the king and queen's eyes widened as they stared at them.
