Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 13 Concern



"Don't look at me like that, I am only doing this because you are weak and I have a duty to do" she said.

"Princess, you are weird in many ways, anyways, I will leave now" he replied as she grabbed onto his arm, her heart stopped for a moment as she pawned for breath and he grabbed onto her making her arms red and it started to feel as if it was on fire, the burning sensation was intense.

'You okay?" he asked as she took a deep breath and then sighed.

"Yeah I am fine, I am just fine" she responded as she moved away from him.

"Thanks, you are right too, you should go," she said as she looked down at her trembling hand.

"Alix, are you from around here?" she asked as he looked at her eager eyes.

"No, I am not sure if I am anymore, what I am though is sick and I think there is a monster inside of me, see ya" he responded then left and she fell to the floor on her knees with blood running down her nose.

"What did he do to you?" Nina asked as she came into the room and helped the princess up while lifting her mask up a little.

"Keep your distance from him, dig up the past years of history, I am sure there must be something about him there, he didn't hurt me" she responded.

"Okay sure, come on let's go," Nina said as they left the hospital.

While Alix was on his way home his heart skipped a beat as his eyes started glowing and everything around him went black, he heard screams of children as he looked around him and saw countless piles of bodies, his hands trembled as he tried to snap out of it when he heard the roar of a ferocious beast.

'What the hell is that?" he asked as sweat dripped down his forehead.

'Alix" someone called out and he turned around grabbing the person by the neck.

"Alix" the person screamed as he shoved the person against the wall with a tight grip around the neck.

The person started pawning for breath and that's when he recognized the voice to be that of Elijah's and he immediately snapped out of his daydream.

'Elijah, I am so sorry" he said as he released the boy.

'It's... it's fine" he replied while coughing.

'I really am sorry Elijah" he said.

'Alix, go home and get some rest or come to work, I am going to take care of your friend" the woman at the bakery Sally said as she helped Elijah up.

"Sally, what's up with him?" Elijah asked as she took him in the bakery and he sat down as she brought him a glass of water.

"I don't know but he is acting a bit strange ever since he agreed to join the tournament" she responded and Elijah sighed.

"How can I get accepted into an academy that I had no intention of going and why only now? why only when the tournament is about to begin?" Alix asked as he walked in and both Sally along with Elijah left staring at him.

"What are you going on about? you are intelligent, you might have been someone who gets bullied and you are easy-going but your grades, the way your think shows how much more capable of going to the academy you are than those other brats, stop thinking about it now" Elijah responded and Alix sighed.

"Look Alix, your life has been miserable, messed up, that's what you keep saying, it doesn't have to be that way, this tournament can change your life, unless you are dead, you need to change too, I will see you tomorrow at the opening," he said then left and Alix frowned.

"He is right Sally, you are typically a nobody among every other special person, my intelligence is never enough unless I fit in," he said and Sally patted him on the shoulder.

"Only you can decide what your life will be like, don't let others push you down, you know I have heard the girl, the princess that is your mentor right now, she is hard on people, some say she is stone-hearted, I bet that's a lie, people talk down on her too, behind her back of course, but they fear her because they cannot have what she have, the girl has control and knows what she wants, she is who she chooses to be, you need to be someone who doesn't give a damn about people and what they think of you," Sally said and he smiled.

'I admit you are right but she is not exactly what she seems, anyways I will start working there is no way I am going back to seeing something I don't want to again" he replied.

'Seeing what?" she asked with curious eyes.

"Just some crazy dreams that's all, I will get back to work" he responded as he looked at her wondering why she got startled.

"Your highness, I will dig into the boy's past more, I doubt I will find anything, he is too mysterious, I think you should reconsider teaching him," Nina said as they arrived at the castle.

"Nina, my father specifically said that they are my responsibility, I cannot just give that up, that would be very irresponsible of me especially when I know he needs the help, I am not going to make any wild guess here, he might be just a normal kid" she replied.

"This is unlike you sweetheart," her stepmother said as she came out of the castle and Adora looked at her.

'You are bleeding, what happened?" the queen asked as she saw blood running down the side of the girl's face, she went to her and then pulled the mask off.

'I don't know as yet... Nina just go on, I will be fine, this is my home" she said the girl sighed and left.

"You are behaving strange," the queen said.

'Since when does my behavior concern you?" she asked in a soft yet angry tone.

"It's my right to be concerned, I care even though you are not my child but my sister's" she responded and the princess looked at her sternly.
