She Belongs To The Devil

Dragomir glanced at the letter that Adeline was holding and sighed. "First, I will have to send a reply letter to the King of Mihir stating that I want to meet with them. I will suggest a date and if they agree on that date, then only the meeting will be fixed. Until then, I can't tell for sure when they will be coming."

Adeline nodded her head and handed back the letter to her father. "Then the process is going to take some time."

"Yes, it will take some time," Dragomir replied as he folded the letter and placed it in his drawer.

"Do you need me to do anything regarding this meeting, father? I can give out orders to our soldiers and increase the reinforcements inside and around the Palace." Adeline knew that if she left the security in her father's hand, then he would be greatly underestimating the vampires because he had no idea that they were vampires.

Thus, she wanted to take matters into her own hand.

And Dragomir was more than happy to let Adeline handle the security for that said day in the future. "Yes, why not? Though there's no need to hurry as the meeting has not even been fixed yet."

But Adeline thought differently. She was not just going to add the extra layer of security. She was going to provide them with the crash course on how to kill vampires. Though it was very unlikely for them to carry out sneak attacks, there was no harm in being cautious.

Adeline furrowed her brows and thought, "I don't think the King will be stupid enough to reveal their identity of being vampires by carrying out sneak attacks, especially when they think that their secret is going to be of great advantage to them in the upcoming war. But you never know what others are thinking."

Adeline then glanced at her father and asked politely, "Father, can I also sit in this meeting along with you? I have never had the chance to sit in the actual meetings between two Kingdoms. It will be a great learning opportunity for me."

Learning was one factor but Adeline wanted to attend that meeting to make sure that her father wouldn't get the air of the war. And she wanted to hear and see everything that the Vampire King had to say.

Dragomir, on the other hand, couldn't be any happier. Adeline was always pro-actively showing interest in the affairs of the Kingdom. In his eyes, there was no one else who would be able to handle the Kingdom better than her.

So he happily agreed, "Yes, you can sit together with us. You will have to deal with such issues when you become the Queen. So it's better if you get the firsthand experience."

"Thank you, father," Adeline gave a slight bow to the King and said, "I will head towards my workroom then."

"Adeline, before you go, I had to say something to you," Dragomir suddenly had a wide grin on his face as though something really good had happened.

Adeline curiously asked, "Yes, father? Is there some good news?"

Dragomir cleared his throat and inconspicuously replied, "I have found out that you hid a very important detail from me. But I am glad that I have a reliable informant now."

The color on Adeline's face faded away and her heart hammered in her chest when Dragomir said that. She had hidden a lot of things from him, not just one. So she couldn't tell what he had found out and who the informant was.

"Bennett? Did he spill the beans about the war?" Adeline gritted her teeth and swore that if he had really informed the King then she was going to beat the soul out of him.

But then the King was smiling ear to ear and she ruled that possibility out.

"What did I hide from you, father? And may I know who the informant is?" Adeline innocently asked her father so as not to give away the fact that she had countless things hidden from him.

Dragomir leaned back on his chair and proudly boasted, "My future son-in-law came to meet me this morning. And he revealed all the details that you missed out from yesterday's event."

He sighed and continued, "Details like how Lillian had opened the Gate of Hell, and how countless monsters swarmed on Earth, and how he was the one to defeat all of the monsters. And you never told me that the King of Hell, Lucifer is also his brother."

Adeline scratched her head and innocuously replied, "I didn't tell you that Lucifer was his brother? It must have slipped my mind." She chuckled like a baby and then said in a serious tone, "About the Gate of Hell and all, I wanted to share them with you but not in front of everyone. I didn't want to send the whole Kingdom into a state of panic over some problem that was already solved."

Dragomir chuckled and nodded his head, "Yes, you did the right thing. And I think that Theodore influenced you to do that?"

Adeline smiled and nodded her head.

"I am glad that he has a positive influence on you. Now I understand why you said that he was the one to motivate you into being who you are today." Dragomir's smile never left his lips. He was really delighted that Adeline had found a great husband for herself.

He lovingly gazed into Adeline's sapphire eyes and finally said the main news, "Those were not the only things that Theodore said to me. He came to say that he and Dragon Immortal will come today, with the marriage proposal for you."

"Th-when-wh…" Adeline took a deep breath in and covered her mouth with her palm. She was speechless to hear that because Theodore had not told that to her when they spent the whole night together. And the news came as quite a surprise for her, a pleasant surprise.

Dragomir couldn't get enough of the shyness that his daughter was showing. He got up from his chair and wrapped her in a warm and loving embrace. "I am really happy that you even fought with me for him. He turned out to be a really perfect partner for you. I like him already so you can rest assured."

Adeline felt so jubilant upon hearing that she ended up crying in her father's arms. She hugged her father tightly and whispered, "Thank you so much, father. Thank you for accepting Theodore."

Dragomir lovingly stroked his daughter's hair and replied with teary eyes, "No, thank you for finding such a great man. You two are perfect for each other. You are an ambitious and courageous woman, and he pushes you towards greatness."

Dragomir quickly wiped a drop of tear that rolled down his eyes. Though Adeline was not going to go anywhere even after marriage, he felt sad for some reason. He felt as if he was going to carve out a piece of his heart and hand it over to Theodore.

After a while of hugging and crying, Dragomir directed Adeline, "Why don't you take the day off today? Return back to your quarter and ask the maids to prepare you.. I bet Theodore would also love to formally talk with you about the wedding."
