Chapter 127 - Sneaking



While Adeline was still in her sleep, she subconsciously shifted behind to find the warmth of Theodore. As she had been sleeping with Theodore lately, she had picked up this new habit to stick her back with Theodore's body.

She frowned in her sleep because she was unable to find Theodore's warmth even after shifting a little too further in her bed. She put her hand behind her and patted to try and find Theodore, but even her hands were unable to find him.

And she mumbled in her sleep, "Theo… Theo…" But even when she called him, he didn't answer.

Then she finally opened her eyes in frustration and turned around to check how far away Theodore was sleeping. But to her surprise, Theodore wasn't on the bed.

Adeline rubbed her eyes and then sat up on her bed. She looked around in her room but he wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Maybe he went to the bathhouse," she thought to herself and then lied back on her bed..

But she didn't go to sleep immediately, she kept her eyes open and kept on waiting for Theodore to come to the bed. While waiting for him, her mind wandered to the earlier events again. She began to smile to herself thinking about how wild Theodore got.

She entertained herself for some time, but after a while, she was starting to get impatient. And because they were not at Theodore's place today, she also feared that something might have happened to him. "Why is Theodore taking so long? Is he in pain or something?"

Adeline threw the blanket aside and then jumped out of her bed. Then she stormed towards her bathhouse to check on Theodore.

When she reached to the bathhouse, she found that the door to the room was wide open. She stopped outside and then knocked on the door without peeking inside, "Theo, are you in here?"

However, there was no answer again. "Theo, I am coming in," Adeline gave a warning and slowly entered the room while half-closing her eyes. But she was confused to see that the bathhouse was empty.

Adeline furrowed her brows and asked to herself, "He's not in here? Then where else could he be? Did he return back to his own room in the middle of the night?"

She puckered her lips in disappointment thinking that Theodore had left her here and had teleported back to his own room alone. "He could have taken me with him. And he could have told me if he felt uncomfortable sleeping in my bed. We could have gone to his room after…"

She cleared her throat and smiled like a fool again.

The Princess returned back to her bed again vowing to herself that she would confront Theodore tomorrow about deserting her and returning back alone.

She got up on her bed and then she was about to lie down but she felt a gust of wind softly embracing her face and bare chest. "Who left that window open? Did Theodore decide to run around the Palace again?"

Adeline laughed at her own deduction and then thought, "Why would he do that in the middle of the night now that he knows that Lillian is not inviting any threatening beings in the Palace?"

Adeline climbed down her bed and then walked closer to the window to close them. She leaned outward to grab the window handle but she felt as though she saw two dark figures in her backyard.

She abruptly took a few steps back in fear. She didn't clearly see the figures but she was sure that one of them had horns and wings.

Her heartbeat began to accelerate madly. She pressed her chest with her palm and took a few deep breaths in to calm herself down. "I thought Lillian was just gathering energy from the spirit world. But was my suspicion right? Is she really inviting the mystical beings from hell?"

"Do you even need to ask that? Isn't it obvious already?" She recalled if what she saw was real and was not just some trick played by her mind, but she wasn't really sure.

So she tip-toed to her window again and took a peek. She saw that same shadow again. "Yes, that's definitely horns and wings. I think I even saw a tail."

And then another fear set in her mind. "Did Lillian send them after me? Why else would they be in my backyard?"

She began pacing back and forth in her room and tried to think of a way out of this situation. "What should I do? Should I just wait for them to come to me and attack them as soon as they enter my room? Or should I try to sneak attack them while they are still outside?"

After considering the two options for a while, she came to a conclusion to try a sneak attack, "I guess I will have a better chance at knocking them down when they are not expecting to see me."

Adeline quickly rummaged through her wardrobe and then found her training uniform. She threw the torn nightgown from her body and then slipped into the uniform in no time.

She grabbed her sword from the wall and then quietly opened the door of her room so as not to wake any of her maids or servants.

The Princess walked like a cat and then walked around her quarter to reach near her backyard. She stood still at the corner of her quarter's wall and slowly took a peek again.

Now that she was closer, this time, she was able to get a little clearer view of those two in her backyard. And she was shocked because she realized that one of that dark figures was none other than Theodore.

And she was even more shocked to see that the figure with the horns and wings was a woman, not just any woman, but a woman who could make any men fall down on their knees for her. Adeline was able to make that much out even when she was seeing that woman under dim moonlight.

And like any normal woman, she could not bear to see the sight of her man standing very close to another woman, alone, under the moonlight. It didn't matter if she had horns and tails because he was the Devil. What if he had a thing for a woman with horns and tails?

A tinge of jealousy painted her heart with slight pain. Her face began to change because of the anger she felt towards Theodore for leaving her alone in the bed and entertaining another woman behind her back.
