She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 589: Aura of Anger

"Damien will get to see what our Palace looks like."

The moment Ariel heard her mother, she held Damien's hand and trotted towards the door.

Theodore was about to leap forth in order to come in between the two kids. However, Adeline wrapped her hand around his arm and asked in a whisper, "Why don't we walk behind them, sweetheart? You don't want to get on the bad side of your daughter by being a strict and irritating father now, do you?"

Theodore felt a prick in his heart upon hearing what Adeline had said. He sighed and said after rolling his eyes, "Alright. I won't barge in between their little romance."

Adeline smiled and shook her head. "That's not romance. That's friendship. Now shut up and walk."

Ariel enthusiastically led Damien outside the quarter and stopped in front of their beautiful garden. She pointed at it and said, "This is my granny Auvera's garden. She now lives in Heaven with my grandpa Dragomir."

Damien was more amazed by what Ariel had just said than by the garden that was full of varieties of flowers.

And he asked Ariel in a shocked voice, "Your granny and grandpa live in Heaven? Are they Gods?"

Ariel shook her head and laughed, "No, silly. They just live there because they got too old and couldn't live with us."

She then puffed her chest and tried to enlighten her silly friend.

"If they were Gods then my momma and dada would also be Gods. And I would also be a God. But my mother is a Queen and my father…" she turned behind to catch a glimpse of her father and then snorted, "My father is a magician, he is no God."

Hearing his daughter degrade him from the most feared Devil Prince to a mere magician, he wanted to step up and show who he truly was.

However, he controlled himself from doing that since he didn't want to further chase his daughter away from him and into the loving hands of her little boyfriend.

Damien, on the other hand, was confused because his mother had told him that Theodore was the Devil Prince.

So he furrowed his brows and tried to refute Ariel, "But your father isn't a magician. He's the Dev–"

"Okay, Ary," Theodore interrupted before Damien could reveal the former's true identity to Ariel. He chewed down his pride and politely asked his daughter, "Let's keep on walking towards the classroom."

Ariel nodded and then pulled Damien towards her classroom.

She would point at the buildings and halls every once in a while and let Damien know what they were.

Damien was also extremely impressed by Ariel's Palace.

He hadn't even imagined in his wildest dreams that Ariel lived in such a huge Palace. And though the architecture of the buildings was similar to his mansion, they looked far more beautiful when paired with the breathtaking flowerbeds and trees and the peaceful surroundings.

And to top that, there were humans everywhere. Damien was thoroughly impressed.

When they reached the gate of the training ground, Ariel pointed towards her class which was a little further away, and said, "And that is where I sit all day and listen to amazing stories from my teachers. I love sitting there with my cousins."

She further boasted about her teachers, "I also have amazing teachers. Mr. Fenris is a werewolf, Mr. Kira is a Chimera, Uncle Ben is a… man, and Ms. Agnes is a witch."

Damien knew what the others were but he didn't know what a werewolf was. So he asked with curiosity, "What is a werewolf?"

Ariel had learned a few things about the werewolves from Fenris. Thus, she proudly explained, almost as though she was reciting a poem, "They are the cursed humans who can turn into wolves at will. But those wolves look bigger and more dangerous than the wild wolves."

"Whoa!" Damien raised his brows in amusement and exclaimed. "There are humans who can turn themselves into wolves? That's pretty wicked!"

"Right?" Ariel smiled and then further imparted her knowledge to the ignorant friend of hers. "And our teacher told us that there are some creatures called the Vampires. They are the archenemies of the werewolves."

"Vampires?" Damien raised one of his brows and asked, "What are they like?"

"Well–" Ariel was about to answer Damien but she suddenly stopped when she heard a low growl coming from her classroom.

Her teacher, Fenris, slid out of the classroom in such a way that he had to use his claws to stop himself from sliding any further.

Fenris lifted his head and glared at Damien with his glowing amber eyes. It was clear that he was enraged for some reason. Stay tuned for updates on ???

Before Ariel could sense what was happening, her view was blocked by her father who now stood tall in front of her and Damien.

"Why are you protecting that half-breed?" Fenris growled again. His voice was laced with a great deal of anger, the anger that he had felt after seeing the piles of dead bodies of the werewolves in the war.

And Ariel heard her father speaking in a calm and composed voice, "Fenris, he's not a threat. He is Lilith's son."

"You mean that Vampire King's–"

"Enough Fenris!" Theodore's voice echoed throughout the training ground and a tenth of his dominating aura was released.

That was enough to instantly calm Fenris down like a scared beast. His eyes turned back to normal and he rushed back inside the adjoint classroom which was empty.

Theodore also followed after Fenris.

Adeline hurriedly looked at the dumbfounded kids and asked, "You two wait here, okay? I will be right back." And she also ran after Theodore, fearing he would fight with Fenris in his anger.

When the two kids were left alone, Damien asked Ariel in a scared whisper, "Who was that?"

"He's my teacher, Prince Fenris," Ariel whispered back.

"Why is he angry at me?" Damien asked again.

Though Damien had caught Fenris' glimpse for a mere second, he had clearly seen the killing intent in his eyes. And he could also smell a great deal of aura of anger from that man... if he was a man.

Ariel knitted her brows in tune and shrugged her shoulders. "I have no idea."

Her eyes were fixated on the window of that class but she couldn't see anything that was happening inside nor could she hear anything even when she should have.

Ariel tightened her grip on Damien's hand, just in case Fenris jumped out again and tried to harm Damien.

She was ready to run away if that was to happen because though she hadn't seen Fenris in his wolf form, she was now aware that Fenris was a werewolf. She didn't want her teacher to turn into a wolf and gobble up her friend.

However, unlike what she had imagined, Fenris stepped out of the classroom along with her parents. He had a polite smile on his face as if he hadn't tried to jump at Damien just a while ago.

Fenris walked close to Ariel and Damien and leaned down a little. He still had a wide smile on his face.

Fenris could smell fear from both the kids. So he made up a perfect excuse for his earlier outburst, "Ariel! I scared you by showing my glowing eyes, didn't I? That was your punishment for skipping the class today."

Without missing a beat, Ariel stepped on Fenris' shoe and pouted, "And that is your punishment for scaring me and Damien."

Fenris could do nothing but chuckle at that 'punishment' from the Princess. "Alright, we are even now."

On the other hand, Damien stared at the tiny angel beside him and smiled like a hopeless fool.

He was happy that Ariel stood up for him. Not that he wouldn't have been able to defend himself if push came to shove. But he liked how Ariel was being protective of him.
