She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 401 - Welcome Back!

"Alright!" Dragomir finally broke the silence with a clap. He got up from the floor and gestured at Theodore to get up on his feet as well.

He peeked a glance of his daughter who was still crying in the corner of the room and he asked Theodore, "Why don't you two prepare a report of everything that happened yesterday in detail, including everything that God said and did. I want that report on my desk by noon."

Theodore blinked twice in confusion. "You want a report? But we did tell you everything."

Dragomir gave a sly smile to Theodore and passed a sarcastic remark, "Did you think that becoming the Prince Consort was an easy job? From now on, you will be sharing half of the burden of Adeline's work. After ten days, I will formally assign a workroom to you. You will be starting to perform your duties after ten days, so might as well start practicing from today."

Theodore pouted his lips and said a bit awkwardly, "But I've never written a report until now. I don't know how…"

And Dragomir gave a wide smile to tease Theodore even further, "You cannot get away from the paperwork no matter what excuse you make. Even if you hide in Hell, I will find you and make you prepare the reports."

Adeline, who was crying and listening in to their conversation, ended up bursting into chuckles.

Both Theodore and Dragomir were glad to hear the soft chuckles from their beloved person.

"Sure, I will learn from Adeline and we will try to finish it by noon," Theodore smiled and gave a gentle nod to Dragomir before walking over to where Adeline was standing. "Adeline, let's go."

Adeline wiped her tears with her palms and nodded her head. She glanced back at her father. Dragomir was looking at her and was smiling. And he softly said to her, "Don't worry about me. I have some affairs to take care of. And I promise I will fully enjoy the remaining days with you and everyone else."

Adeline gave a weak smile to her father and walked out of the room. Theodore also walked by her side.

The two of them arrived at the King's Court. Before heading to her workroom, Adeline wanted to look for her Cerberus sword that she had lost after the fight. "Theo, let's go to the meeting room first. I want to look for my sword before it gets lost. It was powerful enough to mortally wound the vampire. I don't want to lose such a valuable sword."

"Sure, let's go look for it."

When they reached the meeting room, the servants were busy picking up the debris from yesterday's fight and were cleaning the mess.

The servants bowed to the Princess and the Prince. Some of them resumed their work while some of them just pretended to. They were too spellbound by the divine aura of Theodore that they were unable to look away from him.

Adeline straightaway darted her eyes around the meeting room to look for her sword. It didn't take her long to locate the magnificent sword which was lying under a sofa.

"Found it." She excitedly grabbed her sword. But her smile faded away as the sword was laced with Rebekah's blood. She let out a huge sigh and looked for the sheath. After finding both the items, she carried them with her and walked towards her workroom.

"Revelare," she whispered to that sword so that Theodore could also see it. She didn't want to accidentally poke Theodore again.

Adeline tightened her clutch around the sword. She had not been able to shake off a question from her mind and finally asked Theodore, "Theo, did you already know that this sword had the potential to kill vampires? Did Lucifer gift this to me because he already knew that I would need it to defeat one?"

Theodore admiringly glanced at the sword. "I don't think this sword's main purpose is only to kill the vampires. As Lucifer was the one to gift it, I believe that it can kill other monsters and demons as well, apart from the higher-level demons and the celestial beings."

"Hmm…" the value of that sword became even higher in Adeline's eyes after hearing that. So she happily asked Theodore, "Theo, next time you meet Lucifer, say to him that I am really grateful towards him. This sword played a huge role in saving my life."

"I will," Theodore gazed at that sword again and thought to himself, "I should also thank him. The wound inflicted by this sword bought me some time for me to shake off that vampire from me and save Adeline."

Once inside Adeline's workroom, both of them got themselves busy with preparing the written report as Dragomir had asked them. Adeline taught Theodore how to properly compile all the events, what details to include, and many more.

"I never imagined coming up with one sentence would be so hard," Theodore scratched his head and looked defeated.

After almost two hours, he was still on his second line when Adeline had already written about four pages.

Adeline chuckled and replied, "You will find it to be easier with time."

Adeline was absorbed in her writing again when Theodore furrowed his brows and asked again, "Does anyone here have kids here?"

"Kids?" Adeline thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, some of them do. Why?"

"I think I heard a toddler giggling just now," Theodore pouted his lips and placed the brush above his upper lip as he was bored.

Adeline, on the other hand, widened her eyes and dropped her brush from her hand. She ran towards her window to peek outside.

"Is something wrong?" Theodore dropped the brush and asked while getting up to see what she was looking at with a stunned expression.

And before he could reach the window, Adeline excitedly ran back towards her door, "Theo! I think Nigel and Rhea are here with the kids."

"Really?" Theodore looked more excited than Adeline because he ran past Adeline and went through the door without even opening it.

To speak the truth, Theodore was bored out of his mind trying to rack his brain for the past two hours. And the moment he saw the opportunity to escape from that boredom, he grabbed the chance and ran.

Adeline couldn't believe that Theodore had ditched her and ran alone. "Hey, don't cheat! Wait for me, Theo!"

But Theodore kept on following the sound and running as if he was in some kind of unspoken competition with Adeline. And Adeline kept on running after him while trying to catch up.

The sound of soft giggles led the two of them towards the throne hall. As they had suspected, Nigel and Rhea had indeed arrived after two whole years.

Adeline and Theodore's eyes were blessed with the lovely sight of King Dragomir playing with both of the twins. Nylah was pulling Dragomir's beard while Ramon was trying to bite Dragomir's finger.

"Adeline, Theodore, look who are here?" Dragomir happily lifted both Nylah and Ramon and showed the babies to them.

"What a great surprise!" Adeline ran towards Nigel and Rhea who were standing at the foot of the throne and hugged both of them.. "I'm so glad that you decided to come early. Welcome back!"
