She Belongs To The Devil

The morning arrived pretty soon for Adeline and Theodore, especially since a lot of things happened during the night and there wasn't much time left to sleep.

Theodore opened his eyes to see the beautiful love of his life still deep in her sleep. He shifted a little towards her and gently caressed her lips. "I might have kissed her a little too hard. I should be more careful."

Then he gave a soft peck on her lips. Adeline curved her lips up while still in her sleep.

Theodore gave a gentle nudge to the sleeping Princess and whispered, "Adeline, it's time for me to go. I will see you tonight."

Theodore was about to get out of the bed but Adeline pulled him and kissed him passionately.

After that kiss, Theodore gave a satisfied smile and asked, "What was that for?"

Adeline playfully smiled and replied, "That was for me so that I can remember how you taste for the whole day."

Theodore gave a kiss on her forehead and smiled, "I see that someone is not shy anymore."

Adeline pulled her blanket and sweetly said, "See you tonight, my Devil Prince."

"Sure, my lovely Princess," Theodore vanished from the room after saying that.

If it was any other days then Adeline would have already gotten out of bed and would have been going through the books. But today, she was sleep-deprived so after Theodore left, she went right back to sleep.

Adeline felt as though she had just blinked her eyes but her maids were already knocking at her door.

"Come in," Adeline shouted, still half-asleep.

The maids tried to open the doors but they could not. "I think you have locked the door, Adeline," Hawisa shouted from the other side of the door.

Adeline had forgotten that she had locked the door yesterday after she ran from her backyard.

"Just a minute, I am coming!" Adeline shouted and then grunted while getting out of the bed.

She took a few steps towards the door but then she saw down and realized that she was naked. She was too tired yesterday to search for another nightgown, she didn't know where Osanna would keep them and she had just wrapped the towel around her as a nightgown.

She had no idea when it managed to slid off from her body. And the thought of having slept with Theodore, naked, made her feel really embarrassed.

"Your Highness, did you fall asleep again?" Osanna shouted from behind the door.

"Give me a minute!"

Adeline looked around and saw her torn nightgown beside her wardrobe. She couldn't wear that again! She removed the blanket and grabbed the towel. She wrapped that towel around her body and ran to the bathhouse to remove the shreds of evidence.

She grabbed her uniforms from the floor and then quickly ran to her wardrobe. Then she threw the uniform inside, and grabbed the nightgown and threw it on the bed.

And finally, she ran to the door and opened it for her maids to come in.

Both Hawisa and Osanna were shocked to see the Princess in that condition. Her hair was all ruffled up, she was wearing nothing more than a towel, and there were more bruises on her face than the last time they had seen her.

Hawisa quickly closed the door behind so that some other maids wouldn't accidentally see her in that condition, very un-lady-like.

And Hawisa asked in a hushed voice, "Adeline, why are you in a towel? What happened to your nightgown?"

Adeline turned around because she was not used to showing so much skin to her maids. She would rarely allow them to dress her up or see her almost naked. "It got torn in my sleep and I had no energy to look for another one so…"

"I will take out a bath gown for you." Osanna quickly ran towards the wardrobe but when she opened it, she saw that the uniform was dumped in a messy way. "Did you throw your uniform like this, Princess? I don't think I kept it this way."

Adeline scratched her hair and said, "Um… yes. I thought that I would change into my uniform before opening the door but you kept on shouting."

Osanna turned her head behind and giggled, "Sorry! I didn't know why it was taking you so long to open the lock."

And Hawisa instantly asked another question, "Why did you lock the door? Was there any problem?"

Adeline hated it when these two would still treat her like she was a three years old. So she replied quite sternly, "Yes, I was sleeping naked. And I didn't want you two to see me that way."

"Oh," Hawisa never understood why Adeline felt so shy. All the other Princesses and the Queens would allow their maids to dress them up and would even allow their maids to help them take a bath.

Hawisa had noticed something earlier so she walked to stand in front of Adeline and inspected her face. And then she asked, "Did the General punch you on your mouth?"

Adeline was confused by that question, "What? Why are you asking that all of a sudden? Is something wrong?"

"Your lips are blue," Hawisa squinted her eyes and said, "It definitely looks like bruises."

"What?" Adeline felt a needle in her heart as though she had just been caught by Hawisa. Adeline ran in front of the mirror and examined her lips. There were blue tints here and there on her lips. She knew that they were from Theodore's hungry kisses.

But she was not going to tell anyone that it was from multiple kisses from the Devil! She went with the story that Hawisa had expected and said, "Yes, I must have gotten a few punches on my face. The bruises on the lips must have appeared late."

Adeline was now worried about how she was going to go outside and show her face to others. She was not going to walk around, showing that bruise on her lips to others, at least not to those who were already married. They would know in an instant what they were from. And she didn't want them to raise their fingers on her.

Seeing how sad Adeline looked because of that bruise, Hawisa comforted her by saying, "Don't worry so much, Adeline. I will cover them up with some lip color."

"You can make these bruises look invisible?" Adeline looked hopefully at her maid.

Hawisa gave a proud smile and nodded her head, "Yes, I can make it look as though they were never there."

Adeline hugged Hawisa tightly with happiness, "Thank you, Hawisa. You are a life savior."
