Chapter 263 - Remaining Spells



After feeding Arion and knowing everything about how Theodore and Arion came to know each other, Adeline finally went back to her quarter after a whole day of disappearing. Theodore was of course following her. They still had a lot of catching up to do. And what better way than to lie down on the bed together and talk to their heart\'s content?

Needless to say, the moment Adeline reached her quarter, her personal maids were nagging her continuously for leaving the quarter like that. It took quite some time and effort for Adeline to convince them that she was not going to make an escape ever again.

And after quite some time of going back and forth, Hawisa and Osanna finally calmed down. And Hawisa finally said, "Dinner should be ready by now. I shall bring it to you."

"Sure." Hawisa and Osanna were leaving when Adeline added, "Will you bring two portions? I\'m really famished today."

Hawisa turned around and smiled at the Princess, "I will." And then she left without thinking much of that request.

It was normal for Adeline to ask for two portions of food every now and then. She would normally do that when she would train herself till she would feel like she wouldn\'t even be able to lift her finger.

So, Hawisa and Osanna returned with two servings of the dinner a while later. They set the table for the Princess and then left her alone so that she could enjoy the dinner.

After they left the room, Adeline locked the door so that no one would be able to barge inside, not that someone would do so but she just wanted to make sure that it wouldn\'t happen. She didn\'t want them to see the foods floating in the air while Theodore ate them. And she definitely didn\'t want her guards or maids watching over her 24/7 thinking that the room was haunted or something like that.

Adeline placed a cushion beside the one that was laid down for her. She settled down and called Theodore while patting on the empty seat next to her, "Theo, come. Let\'s have dinner together."

Theodore languidly walked towards the table while teasing Adeline, "Oh, you asked them to bring an extra portion for me?" He darted his eyes on all the dishes and side dishes that covered the table and threw a satire at her, "I thought you were going to eat everything by yourself."

Adeline smiled and said while cutting a piece of steak, "Are you challenging me? Because I can actually finish everything if I want to."

Theodore sat down and chuckled, "Ah! How could I forget your appetite? I had seen you gobbling more than this once, when I came to check on you. So, I believe you."

Adeline was bringing the fork to her mouth but her hand stopped midair. She pressed her lips into a thin line and asked in a monotone, "How many times did you see me in such embarrassing situations?"

Theodore stayed unmoving for some time. Adeline\'s burning gaze never left him so he slowly extended his hand to grab a glass of water. And he filled the silence with a relatively loud slurping sound.

Adeline pursed her lips and nodded her head. And she whispered, "Okay. Understood." She then quietly began to eat, imagining all the embarrassing things he could have caught her doing.

But Theodore felt like coming clean to her and said, "I would find you crying your eyes out most of the time. I found you eating a lot once. And… umm…"

Adeline kept on staring at Theodore with a mouthful of food and waiting for him to complete his sentence.

"And I found you drowning yourself on your birthday." Theodore cupped Adeline\'s cheeks and said, "Adeline, promise me that you will never do something stupid like that again. Do you know how worried I was? I was willing to risk being forgotten by you forever and was about to reveal myself to pull you out of the water."

"I couldn\'t even feel your pain like I used to and if anything had happened to you… I wouldn\'t have known. Don\'t pull stunts like that again, okay?" Theodore had worry lines on his forehead. It looked like he was imagining the worst and even that was causing him great pain.

Adeline quickly chewed her food and swallowed it. She took his palm in between her palms and promised him, "I promise that I will never do that again. All my pain has already vanished now that you are by my side." She gave a reassuring smile to Theodore in an attempt to lessen his worries for her.

But Theodore suddenly remembered something important. He was still unable to feel her pain or any other extreme emotions. So he asked, "Can I check something?"

"Check what?" Adeline asked as the question sounded a little out of the place.

Theodore shifted his gaze over Adeline\'s chest and replied, "I need to check if the other spell has also lifted or it is still intact."

"Oh, right!" Adeline exclaimed and said in a sad tone, "I don\'t think that it has lifted. I don\'t feel the power inside of me like I used to."

"Still, let me confirm once." Theodore swished his palm across Adeline\'s chest and chanted, "Revelare."

Suddenly, the inscription spell on her chest glowed, revealing itself. Even Adeline could also see the glow coming out of her chest.

Theodore quickly waved his palm over her chest again to make it stop glowing. He did that with haste because his eyes fell on the drawer of Adeline\'s dressing table. It was giving off a light purple glow and he could tell even without seeing that it was Adeline\'s pendant.

He didn\'t want Adeline to find out that Azriel had cast one more spell on her. He didn\'t want her hating him more than she already did. "Hmm… so that spell has also not lifted yet… I should ask Azriel what he did with that pendant," Theodore thought to himself.

Adeline already knew that the spell that sealed her demonic power was still active but seeing it with her own eyes made her feel bad. Her lips curved downwards as she murmured, "So, it is still on me huh… I guess I wanted it to be gone as badly as the other spell."

Theodore also felt bad for her. He knew that it was hard to give up on power that you had known for almost your whole life in an instant. His own powers had decreased depressingly when he fell down from Heaven. It had taken him years to regain his original level of power. So, he knew what she was going through right now.

But then again, he also remembered how her powers had grown exponentially. Even he himself had thought of taking back the powers from her so that the powers would not harm her human body.

So he tried to make her understand that it was a good thing that this particular spell was not lifted. "Adeline, I know that you despise Azriel for what he did to you, what he did to us. But I believe, or let\'s say, I want to believe that he sealed your demonic power because he really wanted to protect you from the side effects of that power."

Adeline frowned and exclaimed, "How can you even-"
