She Belongs To The Devil

After settling down on the table, King Dragomir gave a polite bow to the Goddess and expressed his regret, "Holy Goddess, I\'m so sorry that I couldn\'t offer special treatment to you. I hope you will forgive me for that."

The Goddess had a serene smile on her face when she replied, "You don\'t have to ask for forgiveness, Dragomir. I am the one who demanded to stay anonymous. Besides, I got to enjoy the ceremony and the beautiful Palace of yours to the fullest, thanks to that."

Dragomir was delighted to hear that the Goddess had enjoyed her time. "Then I am relieved."

The maids came to serve food to the King and the Queen who had recently arrived at the table. After they served the dinner, King Dragomir glanced at the Goddess and asked for permission, "I will now have my food."

The Goddess laughed softly and replied, "Yes, please. You don\'t need to be so polite, Dragomir. Your daughter is married to my son. We are now relatives, meaning we are now equals. Don\'t treat us like we are someone very distant and far away from your reach."

Dragomir couldn\'t believe his ears when the Goddess said that they were now equals. He could tell how Theodore learned to be so humble even when he was one of the most fearsome Devils who practically ruled Hell.

Dragomir bowed his head to the Goddess again and thanked her, "I am really grateful towards you for thinking of us mere mortals as your equals." He then glanced at both Theodore and Azriel and added, "And I would like to thank you for raising such beautiful and humble sons."

The Goddess gave a proud look towards her sons and was happy that they had built a good reputation for themselves even after being cast out from Heaven. "I am lucky that they turned out to be who they are today."

After a while, some more people joined the dinner table. Nigel, Rhea and the babies, and the Royal family of Aberdeen, all of them sat down to enjoy dinner with the bride and the groom.

Wulfric was the most excited one at the table at the moment. This was one of the few times when he was allowed to travel to another Kingdom, that also with all of his family.

And his happiness knew no bounds when he got to see the woman his brother had fallen in love with and lost.

He happened to sit directly in front of Adeline at that round table. And he could swear that any man would have fallen for that beauty in front of him.

Wulfric gave a wide smile to Adeline when their eyes met and he instantly stroke a conversation with her, "Sister… can I call you sister?"

Adeline reciprocated his smile and replied, "Of course, Prince Wulfric."

"You remember my name?" Wulfric excitedly raised his brows and asked.

Adeline chuckled at that innocent question of that wolf and replied, "Why wouldn\'t I remember the name of the Crown Prince of Aberdeen?"

"Besides," she took a quick look at Nigel who was busy feeding his kids, and said, "Brother Nigel used to talk about you a lot. I am very happy that you came to the function today. I finally got the chance to meet you."

"Sister is too kind to me." Wulfric gave a smile as though he was hypnotized by Adeline and said, "I am the one who is happy to meet you."

Wulfric turned his gaze towards Theodore and greeted him with a gentle bow. "I have heard great things about you, Prince Theodore. I hope to never get on your bad side like my brother here." Wulfric gave a teasing grin to Fenris. He was greatly enjoying the unspoken tension in the air between Fenris and Theodore.

Theodore gently laughed and replied to that eccentric kid, "As long as you don\'t go after what\'s mine, you should be fine."

Theodore glanced at Fenris and Fenris, on the other hand, turned to glare at his brother who was trying to cause trouble for his pleasure.

Wulfric was trying hard to suppress his laughter and he almost choked on the soup that he was having.

Those who didn\'t know that Fenris had a thing for Adeline were left baffled. King Conall was especially concerned when Wulfric said that he didn\'t want to get on the bad side like his brother.

And Conall thought to himself while munching on some chicken breast, "Did Fenris cause some trouble? Or was Wulfric talking about Nigel?"

King Conall wanted to ask what he had missed but he didn\'t think that now was the right time to bring up the question.

There were still two seats left at that table. And Raphael and Nefriti joined much later after not finding any favorable tables to sit at.

"I hope I am not too late to join the dinner at this table," Raphael asked Adeline while settling down in an empty chair. "I was busy at the hall taking care of something and came to find that almost all of the seats were packed."

Adeline shook her head and replied, "No, we aren\'t going to get up any time soon so feel free to enjoy the dinner to the fullest."

"Ah! That\'s great then." Raphael rubbed his hands together and looked at the food, "I\'m starving from all that shouting back there on the dance floor."

Nefriti got to sit right beside Fenris. She looked at that handsome face again and said in a soft voice, "Prince Fenris, we meet again."

Fenris turned his gaze away from his mischievous brother and looked to see the Princess who he had danced with. His face instantly lit up when he saw that bright and smiling face of that Princess again.

Nefriti then teasingly asked Fenris, "Don\'t tell me you saved this seat for me."

"Hey!" Fenris chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. And he teased her back, "Who knows? Maybe I did."

While dancing with Nefriti, Fenris got to know a few things about her. And one thing that he admired about her was how openly she had shared about herself, even the most embarrassing things she had done in her life. She had also readily accepted that she had tried to harm Adeline and how deeply she regretted it until today.

Nefriti giggled at that answer from Fenris. She gently pushed Fenris with her palm and softly whispered, "You\'re such a tease!"

The youngsters on that table were all raising brows and smiling while looking at the two of them. Adeline was also smiling widely, secretly hoping that the two of them would get along together.

And Wulfric, being the mischievous one, coughed and blurted, "New couple alert!"

Fenris was smiling at Nefriti while his leg was poking Wulfric\'s leg under the table.

However, that didn\'t stop Wulfric from making weird noises and teasing his brother who was trying to avoid getting angered and hitting him.

"I will make you pay after returning to Aberdeen," Fenris clenched his fist and silently thought to himself.
