Chapter 232 - Diabolical Prince
The tornado of mist was beginning to take a prominent shape over Theodore's palm.
But before the people who were busy fighting on the ground could notice the mist swirling right above them, Azriel suddenly appeared in front of Theodore.
His eyes widened when he saw what Theodore was about to do and he immediately flicked Theodore on his forehead while yelling, "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Aaaah!" Theodore was sent flying a few meters and the tornado that he was about to release on those poor people disappeared.
He regained his balance and rubbed his forehead while glaring at Azriel. And he shouted back, "As the Devil Prince, my job is to create chaos among mankind by inciting the desire for revenge in their heart. So as you saw earlier, I was just doing my job until someone decided to intervene!"
Azriel heaved a sigh and tried to slap some sense into Theodore, "Baby brother, just stop this madness already! What would Adeline think if she found out that you were deliberately hurting humans?"
"Why do you care anyway? Weren't you the one who could not stand my happiness and snatched my love away from me? Weren't you the one who wanted me to go berserk?" Theodore spread his arms and mocked Azriel, "Here I am. The abominable Devil Prince who loves to torture people."
Azriel flew closer to Theodore and joined his hands together. And he gave a quick bow to Theodore and shouted, "How many times do you want me to bow to you? I have already asked for your forgiveness countless times. And I am ready to do it once again."
He looked into Theodore's eyes and genuinely apologized for the umpteenth time, "I was not planning to seal Adeline's memories. I don't know what came over me. I suddenly got this urge to take my revenge on you. But I regretted it immediately afterward. Can't you forgive me? How long are you going to stay mad at me?"
Theodore sneered and gave an icy look to Azriel. "Hah! You are the one to talk! You didn't forgive me for nine Millenials even when I was not at fault. And now that you are the one at fault, you want me to forgive you within two years? Never!"
Theodore was about to fly away but Azriel blocked his path and said, "If I had not cast the spell the way I did then I would have already lifted the spell the same day. I am sorry, brother."
Azriel then raised his hand to touch Theodore but Theodore dodged him and said in a monotone, "Just leave me alone and let me sow some more seeds of revenge. I need to get more powerful so that I can slay the father of Dragons."
"You know I can't let you do that. I would love to stay alive and torture you till eternity." Azriel gave a wide grin and before Theodore could dodge him once again, he teleported behind Theodore and put his arm around his neck.
And both of them instantly disappeared from the sky of Mihir.
Azriel took Theodore to the Devil's Cave, inside Theodore's room. Even after arriving there, he was still holding Theodore by his neck.
Theodore tried to shake Azriel off and shouted, "Leave me alone, you lizard. Do you just exist to torture me or what? Get off of me!"
But Azriel calmly asked, "First promise me that you will not run away again. It took me a month to finally catch you. I am not leaving you so easily this time."
Theodore rolled his eyes and agreed, "Alright! Alright! Just leave my neck."
Azriel finally let go of Theodore.
And without even looking at Azriel, Theodore changed into his normal form and jumped on his bed. But immediately after, he felt the mattress on his side dipping. He turned to see that Azriel was lying beside him.
"Hey! Get off! That is Adeline's spot!" Theodore rolled over and kicked Azriel on his butt. And he pushed Azriel from the bed.
Azriel was sent flying away from the bed. He hit on the wall and landed on the floor. He grunted and got up while rubbing his buttocks. "You didn't have to kick me so hard."
Theodore sneered and turned sides to face away from Azriel. "You brought me here, didn't you? Now you can leave. Don't piss me off again."
However, Azriel was not going to leave the diabolical Prince alone and let him create any more chaos. He swooshed his hand and another bed appeared by the side of Theodore's bed. He jumped on the bed and lied down while facing Theodore.
Without even looking, Theodore could tell what Azriel was doing. And he asked in an unamused tone, "Really? Are you really going to do this?"
And Azriel simply replied, "I don't want you to go around killing people. I don't want our father to come down to Earth and disturb my peace. So yes, I am going to keep an eye on you so that you won't wreak havoc wherever you go."
Theodore flared his nose getting irritated by the invasion of his privacy and yelled at Azriel, "Father won't come down here because I have not broken his rule. I did not kill anyone. They killed themselves. So just get out of my room, will you?"
"Yeah, yeah… whatever makes you feel better..." Azriel took a deep breath in and said, "Anyway, I am the one who is responsible for all the mess you've created because I am the one to push you to the edge. So I am going to do whatever it takes to stop you from keeping up your foolish act."
"Whatever!" Theodore knew how arrogant his brother could get. So instead of arguing with him, he covered his face with the blanket and closed his eyes to get some sleep.
There was silence in the room for a while. And Azriel said softly, "By the way, I don't know if you remember it or not, but tomorrow is Adeline's birthday. At least go and see her once. You can still see her without showing yourself to her, you know. You don't have to put up the tough act in front of me. I know you miss her."
Theodore didn't say a word. He wanted to yell at Azriel for reminding him of Adeline every now and then when he was trying his best to not think about her. But he couldn't utter a word because he was feeling a lump in his throat. He had not gone to see Adeline in months because every time he would see her, his heart would ache unbearably.
And yes, it was also true that he really was missing her a lot.. As it was her birthday tomorrow, he decided to visit her and watch her from afar.
