She Belongs To The Devil

Theodore and Adeline teleported from Adeline's room. Today as well, Theodore brought Adeline outside of the Devil's Cave.

"Are you serious? Why did you bring me at the entrance again?" Adeline threw her hands and feet like a child and complained to Theodore. She had already faced the questioning looks from Theodore's scary followers yesterday night and she was not ready to walk through the same corridor again.

Theodore replied in a very calm tone, "I have already told you yesterday. From now on I am going to show you to the world. I want everyone to know that you are mine. So I am not sneaking you into my room ever again. I am going to take you inside like a proper guest every day."

Then he leaned towards Adeline to carry her in his arms again. But Adeline knew what he was going to do, so she quickly took a few steps back and shook her head, "No, you are not doing that again! You would not carry each and every guest of yours, right? So just let me walk in like a proper guest."

"But you are more special than a proper guest." Theodore was still trying to catch the Princess so that he could carry her.

But before he could reach her, Adeline escaped from his reach like a mouse and then rushed inside the cave while giggling. "I'm not going to let you catch me," she shouted as she ran inside.

Theodore also ran behind Adeline as if he was chasing her. He could have easily caught up to her if he really wanted to. But he just gave a close chase to Adeline and pretended that he was unable to catch up to her. Watching her running inside the cave like a little bunny was far more entertaining to Theodore than catching her like a predator.

When the torch-lit part of the cave ended and the area with Theodore's followers was in sight, Adeline stopped running like a kid and then maintained her composure. Then, in her nightgown, she began to walk like a proper lady.

Adeline felt a lot more uncomfortable when everyone's eyes fell on her, again. And walking in a nightgown was adding up the discomfort.

And she reminded herself, "I should stop wearing the nightgown if I am always going to walk inside through the main entrance. I don't want all of them to think that I am his sleep-mate…" Adeline puckered her lips as her own thoughts made her fall deeper into the rabbit hole, "Well I guess I am also his sleep-mate as I am coming here for the sole purpose of sleeping with him."

Her thoughts were disrupted when Theodore suddenly held her hand. She glanced up to look at Theodore.

Sensing her eyes on him, Theodore leaned a little towards Adeline and whispered, "At least allow me to hold your hand."

Adeline did not like the attention she was getting so she tried to loosen herself from Theodore's grip. But Theodore held her hand even more tightly and whispered, "If you free your hand then I will immediately lift you in my arms. Do you want me to carry you right here?"

After hearing his warning, Adeline stopped resisting and just let the Devil have his way. She knew that he was not joking around.

Theodore had a mischievous smirk on his face when Adeline started to walk quietly, and without resisting his grip. Though he would have loved to carry her to his room, walking while holding her cute little hand was also okay.

Today, there was not much uproar among Theodore's followers because they had seen Adeline yesterday as well. But they were surprised to see that their master had brought that human to his room today as well.

After Theodore and Adeline were a little far away, a blood fairy whispered to a banshee, "What do you think our master does to that human after taking her inside his room? Is he also interested in drinking human blood like me?"

The banshee glared at the blood fairy who always kept on thinking about blood, and whispered back, "Not everyone is like you."

Then the banshee smiled shyly while rolling a lock of her hair in her fingers. She nudged the blood fairy with her shoulder and spoke in a shy voice, "What do you think a man would do to a young woman after taking her inside to his room?" Then she covered her face with both of her hands and giggled.

The blood fairy realized what the banshee was hinting to. Her eyes were wide open because she had already imagined her master doing unruly things with that human. Instantly, her cheeks turned bright red so she began to fan her face with her hands.

Theodore stopped in front of a human maid who was bowing down to the Devil Prince. Then he ordered the maid, "Escort Princess Adeline to my room." He introduced Adeline to the maid in a loud voice so that others could also hear him and know who she was.

Then he toned down his voice a bit and gave instruction to the maid, "And wait there with her until I come. If she needs anything then provide it to her."

"Yes Master," The maid bowed to the Devil Prince.

Adeline gave a questioning look to Theodore. So Theodore clarified to her, "I am going to talk to some of my followers and ask them to observe the Palace for any unusual activities. I will be back soon, don't worry." Theodore pointed at the maid and continued, "Till then she will keep you company."

Theodore had asked the maid not to leave Adeline's side because he did not want Adeline to go around the cave roaming on her own and then encountering some of his dangerous followers.

The maid held out her hand and gestured the Princess to follow her, "Princess, I will show you to master's room."

Adeline smiled at the maid and then followed her.

Theodore did not want to talk to his followers in front of Adeline because he had hidden things from her. And he did not want to openly discuss the details about the witch's spells and magic circles in front of Adeline. He was not going to hide those things from Adeline forever, but he was not ready to give out all the details to Adeline yet.

Adeline was awkwardly following the maid. She was not comfortable while following someone whom she did not even know. And to make it worse, Theodore had asked the maid to accompany her until he returned.

She would have been fine on her own, she already knew the corridors to his room. She wanted to tell that to Theodore but as she was surrounded by his followers, she stopped herself. She did not want to look like someone who disrespected their master. She knew that these crowds were not to be messed with.

The maid opened the door to Theodore's room and then gestured her hand inside the room, "Princess, please take a seat where you desire."

And those words from Theodore's maid made Adeline even more uncomfortable. Theodore's room did not have any chair, to begin with.
