King Dragomir looked stunned for a few seconds after that confession from Adeline. However, he thought that his daughter was cracking some joke to make him laugh, and then he ended up bursting into laughter.

Adeline was expecting to see a shocked expression on her father\'s face after her sudden confession, but her face turned all red after seeing him laughing like that.

"That was a good one," Dragomir spoke while still chuckling and wiping his tears. "I would have believed you if you had not said that you were in love with your guardian angel. You should really learn how to lie better, Adeline."

Adeline furrowed her brows and tried to defend herself saying she was telling the truth but Dragomir got all serious and gave her a piece of advice as the King, "As a ruler, there might come some situations when you might have to tell believable lies. For example, you might need to lie to your soldiers saying that you are going to-"

Before Adeline would lose all of her mustered-up courage, she interrupted her father and then stood her ground, "Father, I was not lying to you." She lowered her gaze and then spoke softly, "I have fallen in love for real. And I would love to get married to him."

Dragomir went through a series of emotions when Adeline said that she was in love. First, obviously, he could not believe that what he heard was true. And then he could notice that Adeline was indeed really flustered which led him to believe what she said. Finally, he felt really happy that her daughter had managed to find her love.

He gazed at his daughter and smiled ear to ear. And he asked, "That means you have already found someone whom you feel is the right one for you?"

"Yes," Adeline replied after stealing a quick glance of her father to see his expression. She couldn\'t even keep on maintaining eye contact with her father because she felt really shy talking about love with her father.

Normally, it was not the Princesses who would bring up their marriage to the King, it was the way around. The King would bring up the talks about marriage with his daughters when the suitors would come to the King and ask for the Princesses\' hands.

And Adeline felt a little uncomfortable while breaking the norm.

However, King Dragomir didn\'t mind that at all. He was rather happy that Adeline finally mustered up her courage and told him that she wanted to get married. He thought that the little talk that he had with Adeline on her birthday finally gave some courage to her to speak up, and he was happy that he brought up the topic of marriage that day.

Dragomir remembered what Adeline had said on her birthday. So he asked again, "Does he make you feel happy?"

Adeline smiled and nodded, "He makes me feel that I am the luckiest woman in the world. He loves me very dearly."

Dragomir nodded his head and could tell from Adeline\'s face that his daughter had fallen very deeply for the man that she was talking about. "So, aren\'t you going to tell me who he is? I want to know who you were referring to as your guardian angel."

Adeline heaved a sigh. Now, this was going to be the hard part. She had to tell her father about Theodore while making him feel that Theodore was the perfect suitor for her. She had to make him believe that he was not the Devil that the myths made him to be.

"Father, when I said that he is my guardian angel, I meant that as well." Adeline had a serious expression on her face and she asked him, "Do you remember when I was kidnapped at the age of three and then you found me in my own room?"

"Yes." Dragomir looked puzzled thinking how that incident was relevant now.

Adeline rubbed her sweaty palm on her gown and said softly, "He was the one who brought me back to the Palace."

Dragomir was silent and expressionless.

And so as not to make the atmosphere turn awkward, Adeline kept on praising Theodore, "He has been looking after me ever since." She told him how he had protected her multiple times from Lillian\'s attacks. She told him how he was the one to motivate her to be better at everything that she did. And she went on and on, but while being inconspicuous about the fact that he was the Devil Prince.

But Dragomir was also a wise man. From the way Adeline described that man, he thought that either he was a really powerful wizard or was someone with some extraordinary power.

And out of all the questions he could have asked, he asked the one that put Adeline in a tight spot. "How old is this Theodore?" He asked that because he felt as if the person that his daughter had fallen in love with would be some middle-aged man.

Adeline didn\'t know how to answer that question. Was she supposed to tell him now that he was an ancient being? That he was the son of God and he was even older than the Earth? Because she herself didn\'t know for sure how old he was.

Adeline swiftly wiped a bead of sweat that was trickling down her temple and said after a lot of hesitation, "Er… He is… umm… he looks like he is in his early twenties. But um… he is…"

"He is much older than how he looks?" Dragomir finished Adeline\'s sentence and asked another question, "Is he a dark wizard by any chance?"

He added the word \'dark\' in front of the \'wizard\' because they were the ones who could manipulate their appearance into looking young.

Adeline was shocked by the conclusion that her father reached. And she instantly denied, "No! He is not a wizard."

"Then what is he? From the way you explained about him, he doesn\'t sound like a normal human." Dragomir was now starting to get worried that the love of his daughter was some twisted man who had trapped his daughter using some voodoo on her.

Adeline had to come clean to her father sooner or later. So she clasped her hands tightly and revealed, "He is the fallen angel."

When he heard the words \'fallen angel\', his mind automatically linked it to the powerful entity that everyone in Wyverndale was afraid of. Everything that Adeline said about him made much more sense now.

So he looked at his daughter in the eyes and asked one final question as a confirmation, "Where does he live?"

Adeline\'s heart began to pound as if there would be no tomorrow. She could tell that her father had figured out who Theodore was. So she tried her best to make her father believe that Theodore was not the Devil unlike his title suggested, "He is a really good person, father. He really loves-"

But Dragomir cut her off in the middle and growled, "I asked where he lives!"

Adeline flinched because of her father\'s sudden rage. And she answered softly, "He lives on top of the Hill of Grimmer Death."

And Dragomir asked while clenching his fists, "You mean he lives in the Devil\'s Cave?"
