She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 546: Lu...

"Grandpa."

A boy who looked like he was in his late teenage years appeared in front of God and bowed.

He had dark red hair, a pair of green eyes, and a pair of white wings. He was wearing a robe that had the color of the ocean. And he had that calm expression on his face that gave the vibe of a silent ocean under the night sky.

"Tobias." God gave a smile to his first grandson.

He was roaming in his garden and observing the activities of mankind. When Tobias appeared in front of him, he walked towards one of many benches in his vast garden and sat down.

"Come, sit beside me," God gently tapped on the bench and gave an inviting smile to Tobias.

Tobias gave a gentle nod to his grandfather and went to sit down beside him.

God already knew why his grandson was there to see him. Still, he wanted to hear it from Tobias's mouth so he asked, "Tell me. What do you have in your mind?"

Tobias turned his head to look at his grandfather's face. And he asked while still wearing that calm look on his face, "Grandpa, did I do anything to offend you?"

The corner of God's lips curved up slightly. And he asked while feigning ignorance, "Why would you think that?"

Tobias took a deep breath in and put forth his grievance, "I had thought that the duty to look after all the oceans and seas and rainfall of Earth would fall upon my shoulder after my father would take over heaven from you. I have even been learning the battle techniques so that I could completely take over my father's duties. But…"

Tobias' brows twitched ever so slightly when he further spoke, "But I heard that fallen angel Theodore's firstborn also possesses the power to control the purest form of water. So I wanted to know… did I do anything wrong?"

His voice had a hint of anger and fear when he asked, "Are you planning to overthrow me and hand over what is rightfully mine to her?"

God chuckled as if he didn't sense the rage that was inside of his grandson. And he said in a very calm tone, "Tobias, first of all, there is no such thing as rightfully yours. You've lived long enough to know that."

The almighty stared into the distance and continued his explanation, "You cannot simply inherit your father's position just because you are his son. You have to prove to me that you are capable enough and you are loyal to me so that I can entrust the duties to you."

God looked at his grandson. He looked calm and composed on the outside no matter how he was burning with jealousy inside. And he said to Tobias, "And secondly, just because Ariel has the ability to control water doesn't mean that I have planned to overthrow you."

He then patted Tobias' knee and further tried to console him, "Master what your father has been teaching you. And try not to have hard feelings towards that toddler. Her father might be the fallen angel but she is still your cousin."

Tobias respectfully bowed to God and said, "I will be careful of my words and feelings from now on."

"I expect nothing less," the almighty gave a gentle smile to Tobias.

Tobias then bowed to his grandfather and took his leave.

After Tobias left, the almighty thought to himself, "Angels like you shouldn't be falling victim to greed and jealousy, Tobias. You're not a child anymore. It's about time you realized that. But it seems like your flaws will never leave you." Read the latest on m_v-l'e-NovelFire

His vision then jumped to his granddaughter. He saw her interacting with Lucifer and Theodore. He was happy to see Ariel's smile.

He then thought to himself, "What should I do with you, Ariel? Shall I trust your father to instill good values in you? Or shall I start teaching you myself so that you won't turn out to be a disappointment like everyone else?"

"What's grandpa?"

Lucifer glanced at Theodore when he heard Ariel asking that absurd question. However, he could imagine why his brother didn't even think that teaching Ariel that word was necessary.

Theodore pinched Ariel's cheek and then answered her, "Grandpa means your mother's father."

Ariel glanced at her father and asked again, "Where is he? I never see grandpa."

Theodore cleared his throat and answered that curious toddler, "Your grandpa is in a place called Heaven. He went to that place after he became too old to live with us."

Ariel furrowed her brows and asked, "Will you also go there?"

Theodore narrowed his eyes at his daughter and asked, "Do you want me to grow old and leave you alone?"

"No," Ariel answered in a sad voice. She already looked like she was about to cry.

Theodore smiled and hugged his daughter and said, "Don't worry, Ary. Your mom and I will never leave you."

"Alright," Theodore pulled away from the hug and asked his daughter, "Why don't you talk with your uncle for a while? Your mother was saying that you wanted to meet him."

"Is it true, Ariel?" Lucifer happily held out his hands for his niece.

Ariel slowly went to Lucifer's arms.

And when Lucifer picked her up in his arms, Ariel replied, "I wanted to meet you because… because when my dada is not at work, mom always tells me he went to see you. So I wanted to see you."

She cupped, or rather she tried to cup Lucifer's cheeks and said with sparkling eyes, "Uncle Lucipa is real."

Theodore pinched his nose and mouth upon hearing what his daughter called Lucifer. He was trying his best not to burst into laughter and anger his daughter again.

Lucifer smiled and tried to correct Ariel immediately, "Can you try saying my name again? It's Lucifer." He didn't want to get stuck with some weird nickname like Azriel.

"Luficer…" Ariel tried to copy what he said.

Lucifer awkwardly chuckled and corrected her again, "Lucifer."

"Lucifurrr."

Lucifer chuckled and tried correcting her one last time. He pronounced his name as slowly as he could, "Lu…ci…fer."

"Lu… Lu…" Ariel tried to remember what he just said. And then she finally pumped her fist in the air and shouted, "Luciper."

Theodore turned his head away from the two of them to avoid laughing. But Lucifer could still see his shoulders moving violently.

Lucifer rolled his eyes at his brother's back. He looked back at his niece and said with a smile, "Well, I guess I am Luciper from today."
