She Belongs To The Devil

Queen Lillian could not sleep a wink for whole night. She kept on waiting impatiently for the morning to come because she was desperate enough to see the look on Dragomir's face when he would hear the news about the possible murder of his dear daughter.

And when the morning light finally started to shine outside, she quickly took a refreshing bath and dressed in her best gown. There was a different kind of glow in her face. She was unable to hide her euphoric feeling.

When Ida was helping the Queen to get dressed, she could not help but notice that Lillian was extremely happy. She had never seen her like this except two times. Once was when Dragomir was coming to see Lillian in her quarter after their marriage; and the next time was when Auvera had died.

After getting out of the Queen's room, Ida's forehead was covered with frown lines. And she could only think two things, "Either something really great happened to her sons, or something worse happened to someone else. But considering how she was laughing like a mad witch in the middle of the night, I think it is the latter."

Usually Lillian would not come out of her private chamber early in the morning. But today was an exception. She was happily roaming outside of her quarter. And the reason behind it was to listen to what the maids and servants were talking about.

The fastest way to get some news that happened inside the Palace was via the rumors of the maids and the servants. They would see what happened inside the quarter of Queens and other Royals, and they would gossip amongst each other. And the gossip would travel at the speed of light from one corner of the Palace to the other.

Thus, Lillian was roaming outside quietly to hear what they were talking about. And the one thing that she wanted to hear the most was the news about Adeline. She wanted to know if the maids of Adeline's quarter had already discovered about Adeline's disappearance or not.

However, even after roaming around for some time, Lillian did not hear the maids and servants talking anything about Adeline.

Lillian was getting more and more restless. She had waited for whole night to hear the good news but it seemed like no one had found out yet. "I thought by now, the possible death of Adeline would have already spread like wild fire. But how come no one is talking about it?"

She looked around for any kind of weird reaction from the people walking around but it was like any other normal day. Everyone was just busy with their daily routine.

"Maybe I should head towards Adeline's quarter and see if there is any kind of commotion going on outside." Lillian thought to herself and then started to walk in that direction.

Lillian reached outside of Adeline's quarter in no time. However, nothing out of ordinary was happening. There was no fear among the maids, no tension in the air, nothing. "How can everyone be so calm? Has no one gone inside to that lovechild's room yet? Is that why no one has found out the situation of the room yet?"

"Or is the King trying to keep everything under the wraps for some time? I am sure the maids would have gone inside to prepare the bath till now." Lillian was now itching to go inside and check Adeline's room by herself.

But she controlled the urge to do so and walked away. "I have waited for this day for so long. A few more hours is nothing compared to all those years that I spent in agony."

Lillian was walking around the Palace aimlessly. She was daydreaming about the satisfaction that she would get from the grief-stricken look on Dragomir's face. She was savoring the sweet revenge in her mind.

Right now, her feet were leading her towards the training ground. In her subconscious state, Lillian almost missed the most important detail that was going on inside the training ground.

She suddenly stopped in the middle of her path and the wide smile on her face faded away in an instant. She felt like she saw Adeline and Nigel fighting inside the training ground. But she was hesitating to turn her head to recheck if what she had seen was actually true, fearing that if she looked then her hallucination would turn into reality.

She clenched her fists and gritted between her teeth, "No… it can't be her. I saw that gruesome detail in her room with my own eyes. I even checked everywhere to make sure that she was not hiding somewhere."

Just to make sure that her eyes were not playing tricks on her, she slowly turned her head and looked. And to her dismay, whom she saw earlier was none other than Adeline, in full health, not a single hair on her head missing.

Lillian's eyes were filled with rage at the sight of Adeline. Her dream of seeing the defeated look on Dragomir had been turned into ashes.

Her mind was screaming in fury, "Just how? How is this even possible? How is that b*tch unkillable? I have tried so many times to kill her but something always interferes and protects her. And now that powerful being that had tortured me for years, that being which was the enemy of the Demoness… even that was not able to kill her? Just what kind of abomination is she?"

Not being able to stand another sight of Adeline, Lillian stormed towards her own quarter. As soon as she locked the doors of her room, she covered her mouth with a pillow and let out a muffled scream.

Her frustration knew no bounds. She started to wildly swing her hands and was destroying everything in her room. She was shouting and screaming. And in her rage, she started to curse Adeline and her mother.

"Was that Auvera even a human? How did she give birth to such a child? How is no one able to harm her?" She looked up as if she was looking at Auvera and shouted, "You did not let me have peace even after you died… even after I poisoned you and killed you with my own hands. You left that filthy child of yours to taunt me, didn't you?"

She smashed a glass on her ceiling and screamed again, "Auvera… I swear, if I ever meet you in the afterlife, or in any other life, I will kill you all over again."

After throwing a temper tantrum in her room by smashing objects and destroying everything in sight, she finally calmed down a little. She lay flat on her bed with her hair ruffled up, makeup smudged and her gown torn.

Several thoughts were roaming in Lillian's mind. She was trying to understand what might have happened last night in Adeline's room. "I am very much certain that the cloth in that room belonged to the same mystical being that the Demoness had taken with her. She might have beaten it and dropped it in that room for some reason."

She put her hand over her head and murmured, "The question is what happened after that? Was that blood even Adeline's? Or was it…"

Then unexpectedly, something struck Lillian's mind. "Every time that I would attack Adeline, my attacks would get repelled almost as if… as if it was some sort of magic. And I know for a fact that that being uses magic, a higher level of magic. Was it protecting Adeline for some reason?"

"And is Adeline aware of that thing's existence?" Lillian's veins on her forehead started to bulge and her whole face was turning red from anger. "What if my real enemy had always been Adeline and not that mystical being? Was it somehow controlled by that filthy lovechild?"

Lillian screamed again and she felt like pulling her hairs out of her head. "Was she always toying with me? With the strongest witch on Wyverndale? I am going to kill her. I am going to kill them all, everyone that she loves. I will get stronger and wipe everyone out from the face of Earth."

King Dragomir had decided to visit all the Queens personally so that he could talk about the upcoming test of worthiness with them. And as Queen Lillian had always been pestering him and trying to convince him to conduct the test faster; he wanted to deliver the notice to her first.

And as if fate had wanted Dragomir to hear Lillian making all confessions about the crimes that she had committed in the past, he happened to be outside of Lillian's door while Lillian was in the middle of her temper tantrum. Sound of items being smashed could be heard even outside of the room.

Ida was standing outside of Lillian's door and she was about to announce the visit of the King to Lillian. However, Dragomir raised his hand and waved her off. And once the smashing stopped, he could hear Lillian shouting with anger. He stood by the door and kept on listening to what she was saying.

And the first thing that he heard was Lillian claiming that she had killed Auvera by poisoning her with her own hands.

Dragomir felt a sudden shrilling pain in his heart. He started to sweat and was finding it difficult to breathe. His vision started to blur and he felt light headed. He felt weak in his knees and almost tumbled to the floor.

He could not bear to stand there any longer and rushed towards his own quarter.. Then he slammed the doors behind him and sat down on the floor. "My Auvera was murdered?"
