Chapter 491 Have to
Alix lifted Adora up in his arms, after seeing she wouldn't be waking up anytime soon and the others approached them and her father sighed as he looked at her then he moved a strand of her hair from in front of her face and he lowered his gaze, as Alix glanced at him.
Alix knew that her father was feeling a lot of regret and also knew that no matter what he said, at that moment, there was no helping it and he looked at Adora.
"We should take her inside, it's cold and it's late as well, can I stay at the castle tonight?" Alix asked and the king looked at him then the queen smiled a little.
"Yeah, sure, you can stay over for as long as you want, Alix, the rest of you can as well, we don't mind," he responded and they smiled then Alix walked away with Adora and the others followed him.
After a few minutes of walking, they arrived at the castle and Dral sighed as he glanced at Alix, who was focused on Adora and he tapped him on his shoulder.
"Alix, I will head back, you take care, I will come back in the morning," Dral said.
"All right," he replied.
"Take care and be careful," the king said.
"You guys as well," he replied then left and Alix and the others went inside.
"I will take her to her room, she will rest better there," Alix said then took Adora to her room and he placed her on her bed before covering her with her blanket.
Alix looked at Adora then he sighed, hoping that she would at least be able to rest a bit, without worrying too much or having any bed dreams.
When he finished in her room, he returned to the others and they all sat down in the living room and Ifrit glanced at Alix before lowering his head.
"Guys, when Adora wakes up, I think it would be best if you don't push questions at her, she will lash out," Ifrit said andthe king looked at him.
"We understand but Ifrit, about what happened to her today, you had no idea about it?" the king asked and Ifrit lowered his head.
"No, but there are many other things that I am starting to think about right now, especially after tonight," he responded and the queen exhaled deeply.
"That was literally torture," the queen mumbled.
"You are right, mental as well as emotional, this time, he has probably done his damage, I am going to bring this to an end, once and for all, even if it costs me my life, as long as he is not alive, I will be more than satisfied," Alix said with a piercing look in his eyes and he clenched his fists as they looked at him.
"Alix..." Kyris mumbled.
"We will all help as much as we can, even if it costs us our lives as well, as long as the people are safe and he doesn't get to rule over them, right?" Kyris asked.
"Yeah, I will protect my people as well as my child, he needs to be stopped, no matter what, someone like him, doesn't deserve to be alive, I don't care what his past is, none can justify the innocent lives he has taken, he will pay for it all," the king responded.
"Bit by bit but surely," Alix added and the king nodded.
"Ifrit, did something like this ever happen before?" Alix asked and Ifrit glanced at him then he exhaled deeply.
"There were a few times when she would act a bit strange but other than that, not that I know of, she never really hid much from me," he responded and Alix's brows furrowed.
'What's with the stars exactly? I feel as though I have read something about this before or something similar but where? Ugh... That could be anywhere as well,' he thought before exhaling deeply.
"It's getting late, we can all meet again in the morning if you would like, but for now, I really do think that everyone should try and get some rest, don't worry about her, I will be right there with her," Alix said and they smiled at him.
"All right, we will all call it a night, you be careful as well, Alix," Kyllan replied and Alix smiled at him as they stood up.
"Don't worry about me, I will be just fine, so will she, I will see you guys in the morning," he said.
"Okay, good night," Kyllan replied.
"Good morning," he said as the king stood up and Alix glanced at him and he smiled at the young man.
"Thank you, Alix, for being here for Adora, for being by her side, I really appreciate that, now, it's getting late, you try and get some rest as well, if there is anything you need, just call for us, got it?" the king asked.
"I understand, thank you," he responded and the king patted him on his shoulder then he smiled.
"You are welcome, good night, Alix," he said.
"Good night, both of you," he replied then they left and the demon lord approached him, since he was there as well, quietly looking at what was happening.
"Alix, what happened earlier, it was not nomal, I suggest when she gets better, you ask about it, before it gets too late, get some rest, you deserve it, good night," the demon lord said.
"Don't worry, I understand and I will talk to her about everything, I will make sure of it, good night," he replied then the demon lord disappeared and Alix lowered his head.
The young man then went up to Adora's room, where he saw that she was still fast asleep and he went to freshen up.
When he was finished, he got dressed then went to Adora and fixed the blanket that was covering her and after doing so, he switched the light off.
"Good night, Adora, sweet dreams," he said as he kissed her on her forehead, then he got into the bed and covered himself before stretching off and in no time, he slept away, for he was tired as well and needed to rest.
