She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 558: Barriers

"Adeline." Theodore glanced at Adeline when she appeared by his side. "Good. You're also here."

Adeline smiled and gave a gentle bow to Azriel. And she greeted him, "Azriel, thank you so much for coming here."

"Anything for my sweet niece," Azriel ran his fingers through his golden hair while glancing up at the already existing barrier that encompassed the whole Palace.

"Hmmm…" he then looked back at his brother and sister-in-law and then said, "If we are going to make a barrier that will be impenetrable by the celestials then we will need to expend a lot of our magical power."

And just to clarify, Azriel added, "And the barrier won't be able to stop our parents. We three won't have enough power even when combined."

Theodore nodded his head knowingly, "I know. Stopping our parents isn't our goal. We can never be that powerful to be able to stop them. Stopping our lovely brothers and sisters is the main goal here. Especially Michael and his dear Son."

Azriel gritted his jaw and then rolled his eyes. "That power-hungry pet of our father… How I wish I never had to recall his smug face again. Ugh!" He sighed and then said, "And I heard he made his son just like him."

Theodore sighed as well and said, "Yes, I also heard from our mother. It's a shame that our nephew ended up with a father like him."

"Is Michael that bad?" Adeline asked with curiosity.

Theodore had told Adeline that he had four brothers and four sisters. Theodore was the youngest among the five sons while Azriel was the eldest. And Theodore also had a younger sister, who was the youngest among all nine children of the almighty.

However, he hadn't given any details about his other siblings of his other than the ones Adeline had already met.

So when she heard the conversation between the two brothers about Michael, the second-born son of God, Adeline couldn't help but ask to learn more about him.

Azriel chuckled and then replied to Adeline's question, "Bad? The word 'bad' doesn't do justice to him."

"He has each and every quality that can pass him as the Devil Overlord." Azriel glanced at Theodore and then gestured while saying, "No offense to you or Lucifer."

"None was taken," Theodore said in a monotone and agreed with what Azriel was saying, "He is the worst of the worst. And just because he is the 'yes sir' kind, he has maintained his position as the Chief Prince of Heaven till date."

Azriel furiously stomped his feet and then ground his teeth, "The position which he snatched from me after falsely accusing me of being incapable to make a rational decision. He said that I was unworthy of the title because I fell in love with someone 'unworthy' of me."

He furrowed his brows and half-shrugged his shoulder. "Well… it turned out to be true later but still… I was totally betrayed by him. That swine! He must be dining on the plates that I used and thinking very highly of himself."

"In short, he can do anything and stoop to any level just to keep his power and title." Theodore let out a long and deep sigh after saying that.

"Wow! Some power-play huh!" Adeline shook her head in disbelief. And then she said, "I would like to hear more about my other in-laws. But for now, let's create the barrier."

"Yes." Theodore glanced at Azriel and then asked him, "Teach us the spell, will you? You are more proficient in creating the barrier to stop that swine than me."

"Of course, I am." Azriel rubbed his palms together and cleared his throat.

However, just when he was about to speak further, they got a pleasant visit from their mother.

"Mother!" Theodore's eyes twinkled when he saw the Goddess standing beside them.

The Goddess gave a serene smile and then said, "I heard that you wanted to create the barrier. So I came down to help."

"Really?" Theodore clasped his hands together in excitement but then he asked, "But, you won't be reprimanded by your husband later, will you?"

She smiled and then reassured her son, "Don't worry. He was the one who asked me to do this favor. He said that he wanted to keep his word to Adeline."

"His word?" Adeline furrowed her brows and asked because she didn't think her father-in-law gave his word to put up a barrier. "I don't recall any–"

The Goddess chuckled and said while glancing at Adeline and Theodore, "He was saying that you two were unhappy recently. That you were constantly worried about Ariel's safety. So he asked me to do everything in my power to ensure Ariel's safety."

All three of them were dumbfounded upon hearing that the Goddess was there after getting a request from God.

Theodore raised his brows and asked in disbelief, "He said that?"

The Goddess nodded her head and smiled.

"No, no. He really said that?" Azriel also asked the same question because he couldn't believe that their selfish father would actually side with them or Ariel instead of siding with his pampered Prince.

"Yes, he did." The Goddess smiled at Azriel and said, "I think he wanted to come here himself. But he was worried about getting scolded by Theodore, I guess. So he asked me to come here instead."

Theodore scoffed and then mumbled, "He was damn right. I would have said a mouthful if he had come down here after everything he did."

Theodore still couldn't believe that that egoistic father of his had sent his mother to ensure his 'happiness'. But no matter the reason, he was glad that his mother came to aid them. If she was here then the three of them wouldn't need to worry about casting the spell at all.

"Okay then," The aura around the Goddess got stronger and denser. She was glowing blindingly and was turning almost invisible. And she said to her children, "I shall put up the barriers now."

"Barriers?" Theodore asked in a confused voice.

And a voice resounded throughout the area, "Yes. I'm going to put one barrier covering this Palace's boundaries. No celestial beings will be able to enter the Palace except the ones who are present here at the moment."

"And I am going to put the next one encompassing the whole Wyverndale. No celestial beings shall enter Wyverndale's area except the ones already here and the almighty." The lights around the Goddess then began to zap and crackle.

Even though Theodore and Azriel didn't see their mother's expression, they could almost imagine her smirking. And even though they couldn't see their father, they could imagine him getting upset. Because it didn't take a genius to guess that their mother was deliberately barring her husband from entering the Palace.

Like they had guessed, God had never asked his wife to bar him from entering the Wyverndale Palace. Why would he ask that when his prized grandchild lived there?

The spell began to work and the barrier started to form around the Palace.

And what more? The Goddess also cast the barrier spell in such a way that it would not only stop the celestials from entering the Palace but also made it impossible for anyone outside the Palace to spy on the things that were happening inside the Palace. Meaning, that nobody, not even God would now be able to peek into the activities of Ariel or anyone else who were inside the Palace.

The Goddess created the ultimate defense barrier so as to protect Ariel from her scheming husband. Because no matter what her husband told her, she was never able to shake the feeling that he was up to something.

And before God suspected his wife that she would do something like that, she had already erected the barrier.
