She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 441 - More Energy



King Reginald had a sinister smile on his face when he learned that the foul magic that prevented his vampire pawns from entering Wyverndale on the day of the wedding was now lifted.

His blood-red eyes darkened with vengeance. And a thunderous voice echoed throughout the room, "Then the war is in motion from today."

His hauntingly maniacal cackle pierced the ears of all the vampires who were in the vicinity. And their heart shuddered. The intimidation that was emanating from the Vampire King was comparable to the one that they got from their encounter with the Devil.

Reginald hardened his face and narrowed his eyes. His pupils dilated as he was recalling Adeline's face. And he whispered in a grim tone, "Adeline, it doesn't matter if I didn't get to taste your body. I'm going to taste your blood."

He licked his upper lips as if he could already taste Adeline's sweet blood. "I am going to enjoy every drop of your blood."

And he let out a maniacal cackle again.

After talking with Theodore for a bit, Adeline went to the tent where the Mystic Coven members were currently in. She wanted to personally welcome her guests.

When she entered the tent, she noticed that it was more like a first-aid center rather than the resting place for the witches. The tent had around two dozen soldiers who were laying down on the bed.

The witches were busy healing the soldiers who were hurt in the mock battle against the other soldiers.

Agnes saw the Princess coming in and immediately ran towards her to greet her.

"Princess Adeline! I had heard that you had some health-related issues. I am glad to see that your health is back to normal." Agnes smiled and gave a bow to the Princess.

Adeline nervously scratched her head and whispered, "It's not back to normal though…"

"Do you still have some complications?" Agnes looked a bit concerned and she instantly offered, "If you have then let me heal you."

Adeline waved her hand and shook her head. She smiled and replied, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant to say that my health is better than before."

"Oh! Right!" Agnes face-palmed herself and gave a wide grin, "Prince Theodore had said that you were under the Dragon Immortal's care. I don't know why I thought that I could be a better healer than the Deity himself."

Adeline laughed as she saw a hint of jealousy in Agnes' face. And Adeline didn't want the witches to have an inferiority complex against the Deity so she calmly said, "No, Agnes. You are a great healer. It's just that this time I had to be healed by Dragon Immortal."

"Your health was that bad?" Agnes looked very worried for the Princess.

Adeline squinted her eyes and bobbed her head. "Kind of."

She then smiled at Agnes and reached out for her hands while saying, "I will be coming to you to get healed from now on. I am so glad that I have your coven in the Palace now. Thank–"

Adeline's hands had only brushed Agnes' fingers when Agnes pulled her hands as though she had just touched burning coals. Agnes' breathing became uneven and she glanced at Adeline with a shocked expression on her face.

"Agnes? Is something wrong?" Adeline raised her brows and tried to touch Agnes' hand again.

However, Agnes jerked back her hand again and winced as if she was in pain.

Adeline looked around at the other witches to ask for help but most of them were focused on healing the patients. She didn't think that disturbing them was an option.

Adeline gently touched Agnes on her soldier and shook her. "Agnes? Are you alright?"

Agnes abruptly flung open her eyes and almost made Adeline jump.

She glared at Adeline and whispered, "I sense the presence of demonic power inside of you."

She closed her eyes and grimaced again. She then gave a confused look to Adeline and asked in a whisper, "Why do I feel like we already had this conversation in the past? But at the same time, I don't have the memory of it."

Adeline simply gave a nervous smile and looked away.

The Princess was surprised when suddenly, she felt Agnes' hand on her stomach. She flinched but didn't say anything and let the witch do whatever she was doing to her.

Agnes looked like she was checking Adeline's health. She had an excited expression on her face at first but after a few seconds, her face dropped.

"Umm… is there any problem with me?" Adeline believed so because of the way how Agnes looked disheartened.

Agnes grabbed Adeline's hand and took her outside of the tent. And she said in a low voice, "I assumed that you were pregnant. But you are not. Then that means…" Agnes gulped and asked, "Forgive my impudence but… did Prince Theodore turn you into a demon? Is that even possible?"

Other than the celestials, the knowledge about her being a changeling was only known to the wolves and General Osmond for now. Though the soldiers also got to witness her extraordinary powers today, they could only make a speculation. They didn't know any definite answer behind her powers.

But considering how the witches were already so close to her, Adeline thought that it was only fair that they got to know about her changes.

Adeline pursed her lips and cleared her throat. And she answered the curious witch, "It wasn't intentional but when Theodore and I performed the unification ritual, something happened. The Dragon Immortal said that I am now a changeling."

Adeline further gave the details to Agnes and after listening to Adeline, Agnes went into deep thought.

Adeline kept silent thinking that Agnes was trying to digest this new and bizarre piece of information.

However, Agnes' mind was working on something else. She was worried that if Adeline was to sustain some kind of injury in the training, then would she even be able to heal the Princess.

Healing someone wasn't an easy task. They needed to take something from nature and transfer that energy to the injured person.

Agnes rubbed her chin with her finger and thought, "If the Princess is now a superior being than a human then we will need to use a lot of energy from nature. We have to study how much more power we will need to add up to heal her."

After a while, Agnes glanced at the Princess and then put forth the request. "Princess, our ability to heal depends upon who or what we are healing. And now that you are a half-human and half-demon, I think our previous level of powers absorption won't be adequate to heal you. So, I will have to perform some tests on you."

"Sure. What kind of tests?" Adeline readily asked with a smile.

"Er…" Agnes hesitated for a while and then asked after Adeline kept on giving a questioning gaze to her, "If you get wounded then please come to us before you see anyone else. I want to know how much energy I will have to use to heal you."

Adeline nodded her head without hesitating. "Sure, I will do that."

Adeline then gave a wide smile to Agnes and said, "I didn't get to formally invite you to the Palace or welcome you when you all arrived. But thank you for leaving the comfort of your peaceful home and coming to live with us. I will forever be indebted to your coven."

Agnes was glad that Adeline still talked and behaved like before, like when she was just a human. She smiled at her and said, "We have considered Wyverndale as our home. So it is only natural that we help in the ways we can."

They chatted happily for a while and Adeline suddenly remembered something. "Agnes, I am sorry I am already asking favors from the coven but, is it possible to cast some kind of magic in clothing items so that they can expand and contract to match the body size of the wearer?"
