She Belongs To The Devil

The moment Adeline stepped inside the Court, a Royal Guard approached her and bowed, "Your Highness, His Majesty has asked me to escort you to the meeting room. Please follow me."

Adeline gave a nod to the guard and followed him.

She was led to one of the meeting rooms which she had never entered before. That room was strictly reserved for dignitaries from other nations. Though Theodore and Azriel were technically not from another Kingdom, they were still here as guests from another Kingdom. So it was only fitting that they were having a meeting in that room.

When the Princess was in front of the door, the guard bowed again and left.

And Adeline took some moment to herself. Though the sons of God were no strangers to Adeline, she was still nervous because of the obvious fact. She was scared thinking that her life was about to take a completely different turn again.

She clutched her fists and tried to calm herself, "Adeline! There's no point in being scared now. Yes, things are going to be different but you don't have to hide Theodore from the world anymore. Isn't this what you always wanted? Just go inside, everything will be fine."

Adeline took a deep breath in. All of the noises in her head drowned down when she slowly raised her hand to knock on the door, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Yes, Adeline. Come in. We were just waiting for you," she heard King Dragomir's voice from the other side.

Adeline opened the door and stepped inside. The moment she walked in, her eyes fell on Theodore and Azriel who were sitting right opposite the door.

Her eyes then locked with Theodore's. Her heart began to speed up as though she was seeing Theodore for the very first time. He had tied his long hair right behind his nape. He was adorned in an all-black attire as always. Yet she felt that something about him was very different… maybe it was just his hair or maybe it was the way he was gazing at her.

Theodore was high in the nine clouds. Though he had seen Adeline all dolled-up countless times, this was the first time she had done it just for him. And needless to say, he was unable to take his eyes off of his woman, whom he was going to marry soon.

Azriel, on the other hand, was shifting his glance back and forth on the two love birds who were making their love so obvious. He got tired of them staring at each other and broke the silence, "Adeline, you look very lovely today. Why don't you take a seat?"

Both Adeline and Theodore immediately broke off their gaze.

Adeline closed the door and as she was in the presence of her father, she didn't want to be disrespectful towards their Deity. So she bowed and greeted Azriel, "Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Dragon Immortal."

Azriel gave a smile to Adeline and took a quick glance at Dragomir who was sitting opposite to them. He was a bit relieved to have Dragomir in the room because it meant that Adeline wouldn't slap him or scold him. He wasn't sure if she still held the grudge against him for everything that he did to her. And he didn't want to find it out by getting slapped out of the blue.

Once Adeline took her seat beside King Dragomir, he leaned towards her and whispered, "I have already talked with them and I have already said that the two of you have my blessing."

Adeline gave a soft smile and lowered her gaze.

King Dragomir then shifted his gaze towards the guests and asked, "So, Theodore, do you have a date in mind for the wedding?" He glanced at Adeline and asked, "Or have the two of you decided on a date already?"

"No, we have not," Adeline quickly shook her head and then gave a questioning glance to Theodore.

Theodore confidently proposed, "I was thinking of getting married within the next fifteen days. I hope that it won't be inconvenient for you, father."

Azriel inconspicuously covered his mouth with his palm when he heard Theodore addressing Dragomir as 'father'. He had been doing that throughout the meeting because it was so hard for him to digest it. He was barely managing to hold in his laughter. If he didn't have his reputation to uphold as a Deity then he would have already laughed and teased the 'father-son' duo.

Dragomir glanced at his daughter again and said, "If Adeline is also okay with it then I don't have any problem. I can prepare everything within a few days if you want me to."

Adeline's heart was hammering loudly in her heart. She didn't even know if she was super excited or super scared or both.

She glanced at Theodore. The man whom she had loved her whole life was ready to give his everything to her. And she felt that she was also ready to give her everything to him.

It didn't matter if she was going to get married tomorrow or after fifteen days. What she already knew was that she wanted to be with him… forever.

She smiled and then gave her answer, "Yes, I am ready. I am okay with getting married within the next fifteen days."

Azriel looked the most excited out of everyone. He cheerfully clapped his hands and declared, "Okay, it is settled then. The marriage has been fixed on the fifteenth day from today. Both the parties will do the preparations from their sides."

"Of course, Dragon Immortal," Dragomir gently bowed his head with a smile and agreed to the date declared by his Deity.

Theodore then put forth the fake identity that he had come up with for himself, "Father, Adeline, I have something to say to both of you. I know that people will not take our marriage well if they know that I am the Devil Prince that they have grown up fearing. So I have come up with a new identity for myself."

"From today, I will be known as Theodore, the second Prince of Romania. That Kingdom lies across the ocean and no one will ever verify if I am an actual Prince or not. Besides, no one really cares about the Prince who won't inherit the Kingdom. So, this alias should work."

"As expected of our Theodore," Dragomir was smiling widely and he praised him even more, "I was worried about the same, about what I was going to tell to the people. But you really made my job easier. Thank you for being so understanding."

And Dragomir also briefed some other things that Theodore would have to comply with after marriage. "Theodore, you might already be aware that Adeline won't be allowed to leave the Palace as she will be the Queen Regnant after my death. So, you will have to shift here after the marriage. And you will be given the new title of the Prince Consort."

Dragomir glanced at both the brothers because that was him asking a lot from one of the sons of God. And he politely asked, "Is that okay with you, Theodore?"

Theodore didn't even hesitate for a second to reply, "I already knew what I would have to do if I was to marry Adeline.. So, yes, I am okay with both the terms."
