She Belongs To The Devil

When she reached in front of her quarter while adorning her full battle armor and weapons, her guards, as well as her maids and servants, were all puzzled.

She had tricked her guards in the morning saying that she was not feeling well and that she was going to rest just so she could have them stay back at the Palace. She didn't want to expose the plan to everyone and she also did not want her guards to come running to willow creek to protect her.

"Your Highness, what happened? How are you coming from outside? Weren't you resting in your chamber? And why are you wearing your armor? Also, why do you look like you weren't just in a mock fight but a real battle?" The leader of her guards bombarded her with all the questions that came to his mind after seeing the Princess in that state.

Adeline was in a hurry to summon Theodore. So she hastily replied while sounding very apologetic, "I am so sorry that I snuck away again. But this time I did it with the permission of the King. A few important things are going on right now, which I cannot tell you at the moment. But I will answer all of your queries when the time is appropriate."

The squad leader nodded his head and said, "Understood, Princess."

Her personal maids were also there and they looked really concerned. They were going to ask something but Adeline stood in front of them and spoke first, "Don't worry. I am not hurt anywhere. I still have a lot of work in the court so I better hurry. I have something to fetch from my room. I will have a chat with the two of you later on."

The maids knew better than to distract the Princess from her important duties at the court. So no matter how many questions they had and no matter how worried they were, they nodded their head and let the Princess be on her way.

And Adeline bolted towards her private chamber to ask yet another favor from Theodore.

The moment she reached inside her chamber, she locked the door and instantly kissed her ring.

Within seconds, a dark mist lingered in front of her and then slowly cleared away.

And almost instantly, Adeline widened her eyes and tightly clasped her mouth with her palm. Never in her life had she thought that she would summon Theodore when he was butt naked. And even though she had seen him in his full glory countless times, she somewhat felt guilty for invading his privacy.

Theodore, on the other hand, was drying his wet hair with a huge towel. He had his eyes closed and he was so concentrated on making himself squeaky clean that he didn't even realize he had teleported to Adeline's place.

She wanted to turn away from him but he looked too cute to not look at. For a while, she couldn't even bring herself to speak a word because her mind went completely blank seeing the beauty of her man.

And to make it even harder for Adeline, he started to hum a tune while slightly shaking his hips.

Finally, Adeline couldn't control herself anymore and she ended up bursting into laughter.

Theodore was so startled by that laughter that he screamed like a baby and abruptly covered his jewel with the towel. For a fraction of a second, he thought that some maid was peeking at him and was making fun of him.

But when saw that it was no one else but his Adeline, he put that towel on his shoulder and rested his palms on his waist.

"Oh, it's just you," he teasingly glanced at Adeline and gave a smirk. He slowly walked closer to where Adeline was standing and teased her even further, "You purposely called me to see me like this, didn't you?"

Adeline couldn't believe that he was accusing her of being a pervert right now. She scoffed and exclaimed, "No! I called you because I…"

Her eyes involuntarily trailed down to his sculpted abs and even further below. "Because I was about to tell you something… Ummm…" she forgot what she was about to say and kept on blabbering some nonsense for a while.

Theodore bit his lower lips trying to control his laughter. He was enjoying seeing her all disoriented and flustered.

He leaned a little closer to her face and whispered in his deep voice, "You are so lost, aren't you?"

"Yes! I am lost." Adeline jumped back when he got too close to her because she felt really filthy right now and didn't want him to think the same. She then gestured to his lower body and said, "Will you help me not get lost, Theo? I forgot what I was about to tell you."

Theodore couldn't help but chuckle at that reaction from Adeline. After teasing her for a bit, he wrapped the towel back on his lower body and asked, "Is it better now?"

"Uh-huh." Adeline finally snapped out of her daze and mumbled to herself, "What was I going to say… Oh, right!"

She then cleared her throat and started with an apology because she felt like she was abusing his power at this point, "I am so sorry that I am asking you this… but we happened to forget that Lillian's personal maid called Ida was also with us in the willow creek. According to Edwin, she knows all those who were supporting Lillian. She is also one of her supporters in her crimes."

"And as you know, Lillian is not going to cooperate with us, so we are going to need a confession out of her." She sighed and then asked, "Will you help me find her and bring her here? For all I know, she might have run away when she felt that her life was going to be in danger. And if I send the rangers to search for her, it will take quite some time."

Theodore nodded his head and completed her sentence, "And in that time, all the other culprits might get the chance to run away. I got it. I will look for her right away…" he looked down and corrected himself, "right after I get dressed properly."

Adeline chuckled and teased him, "Yes, you better do that. Else you will get a punishment of your own."

Theodore raised his brows and whispered, "You are getting naughtier by the day. And I like it." He sighed and sadly said, "For now, let's put that punishment on hold."

He winked at her and then disappeared into thin air.
