She Belongs To The Devil

After jumping out of the window of Adeline's room, Theodore quietly walked towards a particular direction from where a familiar aura was coming off.

He was able to sense the aura of the succubus from a while ago. He was desperately waiting for Adeline to fall asleep so that he could sneak out of her room and check on that succubus. At first, he just wanted to fall asleep by ignoring that succubus. But he was unable to go to sleep because he was somewhat worried regarding what actions the succubus would take.

There was always a possibility that someone could act even more irrationally after being threatened.

"I am pretty sure that the succubus is scared to her core and won't do anything stupid. But I can't leave anything to chances. What if she decides to rebel against me by killing the King?" Theodore worried that he might have made things worse by threatening that succubus.

So, he followed the aura of that succubus to personally keep an eye on her. After walking for a while, Theodore eventually arrived at the place where the aura was coming from.. He was in front of the King's quarter. "I hope that she is just crouching down in one corner of the room."

Theodore used his magic to walk through the walls and he was now inside the King's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that the King was still awake. Not just awake, he was in his full armour and was holding his trusty sword. No matter how tired he looked, he was standing in the middle of the bedroom without even blinking.

And the succubus was folding her arms and was quietly standing in one corner of the room. But as soon as she saw the Devil Prince in the room she straightened her back and looked down in fear.

She wasn't expecting the Devil Prince to come there in person. In fact, there was no need for him to come there in person. She wasn't going to be a fool and attack the King even after getting a death threat from the Devil himself.

Theodore wanted to have a chat with the succubus but the King was wide awake. So he walked over to the succubus and gestured her to keep quiet. Then he touched her on the shoulder and teleported to the backyard of Alexis.

As soon as they teleported there, the succubus began to defend herself thinking that the Prince was about to punish her for something. "I di-didn't do any-anything wrong, Your Highness. I just did as you said. I didn't even touch that King. I went inside that room so as to make it believable to that witch that I was doing her bidding. I did nothing more than that."

The Devil Prince smirked and said in a cold voice, "I know you did nothing wrong. I was not going to punish you. Rather, I was going to give you a chance to atone your mistakes of answering to that witch."

"How can I do that, Your Highness? I am ready to do anything." The succubus replied while still keeping her head down. She didn't dare to look into those piercing and scary eyes of the Devil.

"I was thinking of a way you could utilize your time here on Earth gathering the life force for yourself."

The succubus couldn't help but take a peek at Theodore's face to see whether the Devil was just playing with her or he was serious. Theodore looked serious about what he was saying.

He further explained what he meant by that, "That witch that bound you has two sons, Edwin and Alan. I like Alan but I don't really like Edwin."

The succubus instantly guessed where the Devil was going with this conversation. But she didn't dare to interrupt the Prince and kept on listening to him.

"As you will be in the Palace anyway, why don't you make a good use of that time by" Theodore darted his eyes from top to bottom of that succubus and continued, "… by doing your thing with Edwin?"

"You want me to take all of his life force?" The succubus wanted to know whether the Devil had the intention of killing Edwin or just making him weak enough by sucking out most of his life force.

Theodore just shrugged off his shoulders and replied casually, "I don't care whether he lives or dies."

But he hummed for a while and added, "But I think that that witch will get out of control and will wreak havoc if her dear son dies at such a young age. So better not take all of his life force. Just take enough so that he will be too weak and will be bedridden for whatever time he will have left after."

The succubus bowed her head and agreed to what Theodore had asked of her. "Yes, Your Highness. I will make sure to weaken that witch's son."

The succubus was about to flap her wings and get away from the Devil as soon as she could but Theodore called her and said, "Make sure to find the right man. Don't mistake Alan for Edwin. Make sure that you take the life force from Edwin. Remember the name, Edwin."

Theodore repeated that name several times so that the succubus would remember it properly. He didn't want her to mistakenly go for Alan. Adeline was praising Alan so he didn't want to be the reason to indirectly kill her 'good brother' instead of the one who was actually a threat to his Princess.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will make sure to find Edwin." The succubus bowed her head again and was ready to fly off.

But she was again interrupted by Theodore.

"And you don't have to feel guilty while stealing that young man's life. His life is borrowed anyway, he shouldn't even be alive. So no need to feel pity for him." Theodore added that just to make sure that the succubus would not feel pity and take out too little of Edwin's life force.

"Theo... what are you doing here in the middle of the night? And who is she?"
