She Belongs To The Devil

But Azriel glanced at Theodore and said while smiling ear to ear, "Why don\'t you and Adeline join us after a while? I am sure the two of you have a lot of things that you would like to discuss in private."

Both Adeline and Theodore blushed when Azriel hinted at them to stay back in the meeting room.

Dragomir also thought that it was a good idea to let them spend some time together. "Yes, why don\'t the two of you chat with each other? I will have someone come over and escort you both when the lunch will be ready."

"Sure, father," Adeline softly replied with a smile.

"Okay, lead the way, Dragomir," Azriel put his arms behind his back and ordered the King.

And Theodore gave a thankful grin to his brother as he walked past him. He couldn\'t thank Azriel enough for suggesting that they stay back because he really wanted to talk with Adeline in private. He had a lot of things that he wanted to say to Adeline.

Dragomir and Azriel walked out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Theodore gazed at Adeline from across the room and gave a content smile to Adeline. He was finally going to marry that beautiful woman who was happily smiling back at him.

Theodore walked towards Adeline and she also stepped towards him to meet him halfway. Without saying a word, they wrapped each other tightly in their warm embrace. They were both chuckling as their years of love was finally going to be sealed permanently.

Theodore then pulled away from the hug and kissed Adeline. From the moment she had entered the room, he was controlling his urge to seal her plump lips with his. And now that he finally got the opportunity to do so, he took his time to savor the taste of her lips.

He was sure of one thing; that he was never going to get tired of her taste.

He let go of her only when both of them were breathless.

Adeline\'s chest was heaving up and down rhythmically. And her eyes were glued to Theodore\'s beautiful lips. She gently raised her hand and caressed his lips. She pecked his lips again and put her arms around his neck.

And she whispered to him, "Can you believe it? We are going to get married after fifteen days!"

"I know, right? It\'s like I am having a really beautiful dream." Theodore inhaled Adeline\'s sweet scent and kissed her neck. And whispered, "We are going to be husband and wife soon. Isn\'t it magical?"

"Yes, it is indeed magical," Adeline placed a kiss on his shoulder.

Theodore gently rubbed Adeline\'s back with his palm and whispered with a smile, "I can\'t wait to get married to you." He then promptly picked Adeline up in his arms and smiled, "And I can\'t wait to have a cute daughter who looks just like you."

Adeline covered her eyes with her palm and laughed. For some reason, she found him even more appealing when he talked about having a daughter together.

Theodore carried her to the sofa and sat down while making Adeline sit on his lap.

Adeline then rested her head on his shoulder and said, "I also want a son who resembles you. I would love to see what you used to look like when you were a baby. It\'s not fair that only you got to see me when I was a toddler."

Theodore proudly held his head high and claimed, "Of course, I was the cutest kid to ever dwell on Heaven. I was loved by everyone because of my good looks."

Adeline lifted her head to take a look at Theodore\'s face and laughed.

And Theodore defensively replied, "What? You don\'t believe me? My feet would barely touch the floor because everyone would take turns to carry me. You can ask Azriel. He used to carry me around all the time."

"No, I don\'t need to ask anyone, I believe you." Adeline rested her head on his shoulder again and chuckled, "It\'s just the way you are saying it… by sounding all high and mighty."

"But I am high and mighty." Theodore tightened his grip around Adeline\'s waist and teased her, "What\'s wrong with sounding the way I am?" 

Adeline covered her face again and giggled openly.

And Theodore couldn\'t get enough of her playful giggles. He leaned in and gave a warm kiss on Adeline\'s forehead.

"By the way, when did you get up this morning? And since when were you planning for today? You never told me anything." Adeline asked curiously.

And Theodore replied proudly, "I didn\'t sleep much. I got up after you fell asleep. And went to your father\'s quarter to talk with him."

He smirked and added, "I was planning to come today since the day you planned to capture Lillian yesterday. I didn\'t want to distract you before that and I didn\'t feel like waiting any longer than was required. So, today was the perfect day to come and ask your hand."

"Hmm…" Adeline slightly nodded her head and asked, "And what about the guards? Where did you find them? Did you pay them to play their part today?"

"Pay them?" Theodore chuckled and made everything clear, "They are not humans. They are my followers who look close to humans. And Azriel did some tricks to make them look the way they are right now. Their appearance is no more than a perfect illusion."

Adeline raised her brows, impressed. She was reminded again just how powerful these brothers were.

Both of them talked for some more time. And after a while, a guard came to escort the two of them to the garden where Dragomir and Azriel were waiting for them.

Theodore offered his arm for Adeline to hold as the two of them followed that guard.

Everyone was curiously watching the two of them, the maids, the servants, the guards, and some Princes and Princesses as well.

The tall and handsome man, who looked like he had just landed on Earth from Heaven was hard to miss... that also when the Future Queen was walking hand-in-hand with him.

All of those who saw them instantly speculated that Theodore was Adeline\'s suitor. Some were envious to see that Adeline found such a handsome man while some were excited thinking that their possible Prince Consort looked flawless.

Adeline felt shy when all of the eyes were on them. But at the same time, she was also thrilled to show him off to everyone.

And Theodore was also feeling no different. He was glad that he didn\'t need to sneak around the Palace anymore, well maybe for a few more days… but soon, this Palace was going to be his new home.. And he couldn\'t ask for anything more.
