Chapter 206 - Warmth



A night and a day had passed in the real world when the Princes and Princesses were in their test. They were unconscious for the whole night that they were taken. Azriel had gone through each and everyone's mind looking for the clues for the first level.

It took half of the day for Azriel to build the illusions and the sequence in which they would play out. And the remaining half of the day was spent on the actual test.

After Mimi dropped Adeline in front of her quarter, she found out that everyone in the Palace was also under a sleeping spell at that moment so that they would not witness the Wyverns flocking towards the Palace.

She thanked Mimi and then went straight to her bed. She was super exhausted and as soon as her body touched the soft mattress and pillow, Adeline went into a deep slumber.

Adeline did not even notice that Theodore was waiting for her arrival in her room. In fact, you could even say that he never left her room since yesterday. He had already been habituated to sleeping with Adeline and he did not want to sleep in his room alone. So he had just slept here in Adeline's bed where her sweet aroma still lingered.

He left in the morning. But after midday, he began to feel excruciating pain in his heart. And he instantly teleported himself back to Adeline's room to check if she had returned from the test after getting badly hurt.

He even searched around the Palace to check if she was somewhere else. But after not finding her, he came back to Adeline's room and kept on waiting for the pain to go away. He knew that the pain must have had something to do with the test. But he could not help but get worried because instead of the pain calming down, it had only increased.

Theodore would pace back and forth in the room, try to divert his mind, go outside to take some fresh air, but no matter what he did, he could feel his heart getting slashed.

And there came a pain so great that Theodore felt as though his heart had been squeezed out of the blood and then thrown into the hottest pit of Hell. He clenched over his chest and collapsed down on the floor. He was covered in sweat and he looked really pale.

He writhed on the floor and cursed Azriel, "Argh! You conniving bastard! Just what kind of a test are you taking? I swear to father that if you put so much as a scratch on Adeline then I am going to personally pluck your heart out and feed it to your dragons."

The pain lasted for a while and then slowly he felt the pain fading away. He sighed in relief. Then he went and took a shower because he didn't want Adeline to know that he had also felt every pain of hers.

He returned back to Adeline's room again and waited for her arrival. He wanted to see if she was hurt anywhere or not, and he also wanted to know everything that happened in the test. If Azriel had made her go through something inappropriate or if he had said anything inappropriate to her then he was going to kill his brother.

However, his plan of talking with her went into the drain as she was already asleep. But he could still check her body for any wounds so he quietly moved his feet towards the bed and sat down to look at her beautiful face.

He removed her silver hair from her face and examined her face for any signs of bruises. There were none. And he removed the blanket and checked her hands to see any signs of struggle. Her hands also looked completely fine.

Theodore contemplated for a while whether or not to take off her clothes to check for any wounds. He didn't want to do that while she was unaware of what he was doing to her, but the undying curiosity won in the end. "Well, she had torn my clothes off once. I think I will pay the favor now."

He was slowly undressing her and that was when his eyes fell on the necklace that she was wearing. And the moment he saw the dragon in her pendant, his forehead wrinkled with anguish. And he cursed his brother again, "You rascal! You made her wear something that you created using your magic? Who do you think you are to gift something to my fiancé?"

He then gave an angry look to Adeline. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, he wanted to pinch both of her cheeks and wake her up just to mess with her. He narrowed his eyes at Adeline and murmured, "How can this woman wear something that some other men gifted her? And that also so close to her heart… I cannot allow this!"

Theodore stretched out his hand to snatch that eyesore from her neck and throw it in the pit of Hell. But when his skin touched that pendant, it burned his fingertips very badly.

"Ahhhhhh!" A painful groan escaped his lips. He immediately pressed his lips together and gave a quick glance to Adeline. Thankfully, she was still deep in her sleep.

Again, he cursed his brother under his breath, "You even put a protective barrier on it? Wah! Your cunningness knows no bound. You did it just to pester me, didn't you?"

(Author's Note: A protective barrier is a spell that protects the magic object from someone with evil intention towards it.)

Theodore got up from the bed and rolled up his sleeves. "I don't have a choice but to give you a nice visit. I have to teach you a lesson so that you won't dare mess with my woman again."

In his fit of rage, he was really going to give his brother a visit. But he halted when he heard the soft sobbing of Adeline.

"No… Theo… no, no… please… don't kill… Theo…" Adeline was mumbling some random words in her sleep.

He gazed at Adeline again and saw that a small part of her pillow was already wet from her tears. He quickly sat beside her and caressed her face. He wiped her tears and whispered to her, "Shhh! I am here. I am here."

Theodore got on the bed and lied down by her side. He held his woman tightly in his embrace. He had missed this warmth of Adeline.. And it seemed so did she, because she stopped crying and slept quietly.
