She Belongs To The Devil

Shortly after Adeline kissed her ring, a dark mist began to swirl beside her.

King Dragomir was intrigued but at the same time, a little scared when the mist began to unravel. He could see a tall figure wearing black clothes inside that mist. Dragomir didn't even blink his eyes because he was too curious to know how the infamous Devil looked like.

Once the mist completely cleared, Dragomir's eyes widened at the sight of a handsome young man.

To the King's disbelief, Theodore didn't look one bit menacing. He could not see any horns or wings or scales on the Devil. He looked more human than the Devil. And not just any human, but he looked as though he was a masterpiece that God sculpted with his own hands. He looked like a sample that God used to create other lesser humans.

Theodore, on the other hand, was scared out of his mind.

When the dark mist surrounded him, he was happy thinking Adeline was missing him. But when he saw King Dragomir staring at him with his baggy sapphire eyes, he felt betrayed to the core.

He was nervous and scared all of a sudden. It was not like he had never seen King Dragomir before in his life. It was just that he had never had to introduce himself to the father of his lover before. And to make the matter worse, it looked like Dragomir was going to eat him alive.

From the way Theodore had stiffened his back, Adeline could tell that he was really nervous. So to ease the situation, she stood in the middle of the two of them.

And then she introduced the two of the most important men in her life to each other. "Father, this is Theodore, the Devil Prince of Hell." She then turned to look at Theodore and spoke formally, "And Theodore, he is my father, the King of Wyverndale."

The two men looked awkwardly at each other for a while. Both of them were confused as to how they were going to address each other.

And both of them were confused as to who was going to bow to whom.

One was the son of God but had the title of the Prince. And the other was a human but had the title of the King. If they were going to look at the seniority, Theodore was way older than the King. And if they were going to look at the relation, Dragomir was going to have to call Theodore his son-in-law.

In the end, it was too late to greet each other with a bow so they simply gave a slight nod to each other.

King Dragomir then spoke first, "I am glad to finally meet you, Your Highness."

"Likewise, Your Majesty," Theodore replied with a polite smile.

Theodore had no idea what he was going to say or do next. So he hoped that his woman would come to his rescue.

And to his relief, she did. To ease the tension between them, Adeline explained why she had called him, "Theodore, I was thinking that it would be great if you could take my father to your fountain and let him recuperate his energy. I think it would be a great opportunity for the two of you to get to know each other. Are you fine with it?"

Adeline made it sound as though she had not already discussed that matter with Theodore first. And she hinted to Theodore that he was not to talk about the King's illness.

Theodore also got her hint and he immediately accepted to take the King with him. "Yes, of course." He glanced at Dragomir and added in a polite tone, "I'm sure that Your Majesty might have a lot of questions for me, so we could use some time together."

"I hope that it is okay if we go to your place now," Dragomir asked to make sure that he wasn't interrupting with whatever the Devil Prince was doing or whatever he was supposed to do.

To be honest, Theodore was surprised that Dragomir was willing to go to his place and also that he had not already punched him in the face for making his daughter fall for him. From the way he was talking at Azriel's place, Theodore had expected some fists and some harsh words from Dragomir.

But he was glad that none of it happened. "Yes, if you are ready then we can go to my place this instant," Theodore gave a soft smile to the King.

Dragomir was already impressed by the polite demeanor of the Devil Prince. The King would have never suspected that Theodore was the Devil Prince if he did not have prior knowledge about it.

Dragomir stole a quick glance of Adeline and then asked Theodore, "So, how does your teleporting work? Does it work the same way as your brother's?"

Theodore smiled and offered his hand to the King, "Yes, it works the same way."

Before touching Theodore's hand, Dragomir looked at his daughter and ordered her, "I will go then. Take care of the Kingdom's affair for me, will you?"

Adeline gave a reassuring nod to the King, "You don't need to worry about it, father. I will take care of everything in the King's Court." She then glanced at Theodore and then at the King. And she said with a smile, "I hope that both of you will have a nice day."

"I sure hope we will," Theodore nervously thought to himself.

He and Dragomir then teleported to the garden of Theodore's majestic cave.

Yet again, King Dragomir was astonished by the beauty of the garden. He had a very low expectation about how the cave would look like. And to see an indoor garden, which was full of healthy, beautiful, and rare plants, felt like a dream to him.

Dragomir's perception of Theodore was already starting to change, positively.

Theodore glanced at the King and said, "I hope you won't mind me leaving you alone for a while. I will ask the maids to prepare a bathrobe and towel for you. Till then you may enjoy the view of this garden."

Dragomir was already mesmerized by the view. There was no need to tell him. He gave a nod and agreed cheerfully, "Sure." He chuckled and added further, "I already love this garden so, there won't be any problem even if you don't return back for an hour or two."

Theodore also couldn't help but chuckle from that remark of the King. His nerves also calmed down a little after seeing the King slowly opening up to him.

He then teleported from the garden to find his maids.

Dragomir took a stroll in the garden while touching the beautiful flowers and trees. He looked up to see a transparent dome-shaped structure carved in the middle of the cave. The sunlight that entered from the dome above was lighting up the garden just enough to make the garden look beautiful.

He stood in front of the fountain and gazed at the beauty of that flowing water.

He chuckled at his own image of the cave that he had in mind. "And I thought caves could never look beautiful," he thought to himself.

Dragomir noticed two doors on either side of that garden. And he was curious to know what was behind those doors. But he was not that curious for him to sneak around in the cave alone.

However, he thought to himself, "I should ask him to give me a tour of this cave. I want to see all the corners of this place."

He narrowed his eyes and whispered, "He is a Devil after all. Who knows what he is hiding? I shall make sure that I can trust my daughter to him.. I don't want to simply hand her over to him just because he is the Deity's brother."
