Chapter 233 - Drooling



Theodore could not get any sleep all night. In fact, it had been days since he last slept properly. The moment he would lie down on the bed, he would feel the empty side of his bed taunting him.

He would miss the warmth of Adeline's embrace when they would sleep together. And because he would be reminded of his emptiness, he would avoid sleeping on his bed as much as he could.

Most of the time, he would sleep in some corner of his Gambling House or some random place in Hell.

Nobody would dare to mess with him since his Devil had awakened last two years ago. If anyone tried to disturb him or poke fun of him then he would not back away from hurting, or even killing them. And everyone in the Hell dimension knew better than to stay in his vicinity. 

The head servant of Theodore's Gambling House worried a lot about the worsening sleeping behavior of his master. Though he was happy seeing that his master was getting stronger by the day and getting feared by most of the beings in Hell, he was worried that his master's reputation would decline if others found him sleeping on some random streets and prison cells.

Thus, he had even offered to prepare a room and bed for Theodore in the Gambling House. However, Theodore refused it every time he would bring that up saying that he was the Devil Prince and he could sleep wherever in the Hell he wanted to.

After twisting and turning in his bed for almost all night, finally, it was almost 4 in the morning. Theodore turned to see if Azriel was still in his room, and he was still there… sleeping like a baby.

"You spoil my sleep and dare to sleep like this right in front of me? I should kill you right here and now!" Theodore gritted his teeth and whispered under his breath. He sat up straight on his bed and formed a sharp dagger of mist on his palm. He aimed it right at Azriel's head and glared at him for a while.

But he waved away his hand at the last minute thinking, "Nevermind! This will only wake him up. And he will stick to me like a leech. And I don't want him anywhere near me or Adeline."

Theodore got up from the bed and went to take a bath. After cleaning himself up and changing into a fresh pair of clothes, he teleported himself to Adeline's room.

Adeline's room was empty when he arrived there. But her sweet scent was lingering around in the air. He inhaled her sweet aroma and instantly he felt a warm yet sad feeling in his heart.

He walked up to Adeline's bed and gently touched his side of the bed. "Ah! I miss sleeping here."

Then he walked to Adeline's side of the bed. He sat down and stared at the pillow. And he whispered to that pillow as if it was Adeline, "Adeline… how long will it take for you to finally remember me? Please don't take too long. I don't think I will be the same Theo that you once knew if you delay it any longer… I am all messed up already."

Theodore waited for some time for Adeline to come inside so that he could see her. But he got way too restless now that he was in her room. Whichever corner he would look at, he would be reminded of the beautiful moments he shared with Adeline. And he could not wait any longer to see her face.

He got up and headed towards her bathhouse, knowing that it was her bathing time. He walked past the wall and got inside the bathhouse.

Theodore saw that the bathtub was covered with rose petals and other herbs and was empty. So he frowned and thought, "What? She's not here?"

He sighed and was about to head out to find her. But right then, he saw a few water bubbles surfacing in the bathtub. And when he looked closely, he could see that Adeline was inside the tub, holding her breath from God knows when.

"Adeline!" Theodore panicked and shouted at the top of his lungs. He took a step ahead to pull Adeline out of the water but she sprung out on her own. Theodore heaved a sigh of relief to see her moving and breathing.

He dug his nails on his palms and kept on looking at her when she began to cough violently. It took every cell in his body to stop himself from running to her side and holding her in an embrace.

"Hello! Is anyone here?" Adeline looked around aimlessly to search for the source of the voice that she heard earlier. She looked eager to find the man rather than scared at the possibility that some random man could have been watching her while she was bathing naked.

Theodore didn't look impressed seeing her eagerness like that. He sneered and scolded her inwardly, "Look at this shameless woman! Why is she not rushing to dress yet? What if it was someone else who was peeking at her and not me?"

However, his anger subsided when he saw her slowly pushing back the wet locks of her hair from her face. She got up from the bathtub slowly, revealing her fuller curves. Her silver hair flowed down seamlessly till the arch of her hips. She looked a little bit taller than before. And she looked even more alluring.

Theodore did not even realize that he was holding his breath while he was gazing at her intently. He looked like a baby staring at a sweet treat while drooling.

He wanted to hold her in his arms but he definitely did not want her to get scared and scream at him saying that he was a pervert. He did not want another 'Dragon Crypt' memory to be created.

But after seeing her almost drowning herself just a moment ago, he was not going to leave her alone. He did not want her acting so rashly again. So he kept on standing still as she passed right by his side. He watched her wrapping herself in the towel and going to open the door.

Osanna came running inside the bathhouse as soon as Adeline opened the door. And she almost collided with him. He straightened his back and stood in one corner while holding his breath.

"Of course! They are as protective of her as they were before…" He frowned and thought to himself, "I better wait outside in her room. This maid will smell me out if I keep on standing here."

Theodore then walked out of the bathhouse and went to Adeline's room.
