She Belongs To The Devil

Five years had passed since the war between Wyverndale and Mihir.

A lot of things had changed since the war.

As the Royal bloodline had ended with Reginald's death, Mihir now had a Chief Minister who ruled the country instead of a King.

Some of the ministers had argued saying that they should be waking up their previous King from the slumber. However, many of the ministers as well as the Generals didn't think that it was a good idea.

They had already lost a lot because they had a stupid King who put his desire for revenge above everything else. They were at least glad that Wyverndale didn't claim their Kingdom after killing Reginald.

And after going through all that, they didn't want to simply hand over the Kingdom to someone who would have to be put back to slumber again after a few months. And they didn't want someone who would put themselves above Mihir and its people.

If they woke the previous King up, they were sure that he would also focus on getting revenge for his children's death rather than doing something worthwhile.

So they chose a Chief Minister who actually cared about Mihir and who knew how to run the country.

The ministers chose Lord Horace as their first Chief Minister because he had experience in how to run the country. And he cared about the humans and vampires alike. There was no better candidate than him.

And Mihir maintained its promise to Wyverndale. Not a single person from Mihir had set their foot on the southern side of the border.

The four Kingdoms of the south had a more harmonious relationship than before. The witches, werewolves, and the humans lived together in harmony.

And the harmony between them was more evident in Wyverndale.

Several other covens had migrated to Wyverndale after the war. The witches and wizards were amazed by the Devil and his followers. And they were motivated to migrate after seeing their power up close. They believed that they would get to learn refined magic from the Devil himself.

And the werewolves who had decided to follow Nigel had settled down near the capital. Adeline had been generous enough to provide the land to those werewolves so that they could build a home for themselves.

Nigel was way too grateful to his sister for that.

And he respected her even more when she opened a separate division in Wyverndale's army for those werewolves who were interested to join. Not just in the army, the werewolves were free to choose any future paths they liked in addition to being a headstrong follower of their alpha.

And by now, they had blended well with the society of Wyverndale. The werewolves were much happier than they were in the past because of their increased freedom.

Nigel had also done some reforms in the pack. He had introduced a beta system where a smaller pack of around 15 to 20 werewolves could be formed under a beta. That way, they could keep better track of each other and Nigel would also have less burden on his head.

Adeline, on the other hand, was now a people's favorite Queen. Wyverndale's economy picked up its pace after the war within two years. And Wyverndale was becoming more prosperous under her rule.

Right now, Adeline was in her workroom. She was going through a plan to open a new market in the outer village.

But she was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Momma! Can I come in?" Adeline heard her daughter's voice from outside the door.

Adeline got up from her chair and went to open the door for her three-year-old. She crouched down to her daughter's level and asked in a soft tone, "Honey, what did momma tell you about not running away from the quarter?"

"Uncle Ben is boring." Her cute little daughter folded her arms and pouted.

Adeline chuckled and said to her daughter, "Ariel, reading can get boring but it is important."

Ariel furrowed her brows and complained in a sweet voice, "But I not want to be like you. Always reading. It is no fun." She then spread her arms and started to zoom around as if she was flying and said, "I want to be like dada. He always goes to play."

Adeline tried to make Ariel understand that every time her dada went away from the Palace, he didn't go to play as she had thought. "Honey, your dada went to work. He has another workplace near your uncle Lucifer's home."

Ariel stopped her zoomies and stared at her mother, "Take me to uncle Luci. I want to see him."

Ariel asked that because Theodore would say every once in a while that he had gone to meet her uncle Lucifer. However, he would never take her along and Ariel believed that there was no uncle named Lucifer. She thought that her parents were just lying.

"Ari, you know I can't take you there. Only your father can go there." Adeline held her baby's hand and kissed her on her knuckles.

And in order to divert her daughter's mind from her father and her uncle, she asked her daughter, "Do you want me to tell you a story?"

Before Ariel could answer, Bennett came running towards them and apologized to Adeline while he was still afar, "Your Majesty, I am so sorry. I went to drink water and Her Highness had already disappeared when I came back."

Ariel didn't want to go back to her room again and listen to her boring uncle Ben. She wanted to roam around with her father, not stay in a room and wait for her parents to come to her in the evening.

So she pulled her hand from her mother's grip and ran along the corridor while shouting, "I don't want to go back. I want to go to dada."

"Princess, don't run away." Bennett started to run after the toddler while trying to entice her into coming back with him, "I promise I won't make you memorize the alphabet. I will play with you."

"No." But Ariel shook her head and kept on running. Her fluffy baby pink skirt made her look like a doll as she ran.

Adeline giggled and watched the two of them running down the corridor. "Oh, how she makes everyone dance on her little fingers," she thought to herself with a smile on her face.

However, her smile faded when suddenly she saw the dark mist swirling around her daughter.

Adeline widened her eyes and teleported to grab her daughter.

But her baby vanished right before she was about to reach for her tiny body.

"Ariel!"
