Chapter 392 – Bitter

Adeline\'s personal maids finished cleaning the blood and dirt from Adeline\'s body. And they also changed Adeline\'s gown, bedsheet, and pillow cover. It took a lot of effort for Osanna and Hawisa to accomplish the task because Adeline was still unconscious when they did all that.

"Why is our dear Adeline not waking up?" Hawisa held Adeline\'s palm and kept on gazing at the serene face of Adeline.

Osanna heaved a deep sigh and mumbled, "She is the strongest woman I know, and also the most fearless. Just how monstrous were those people from Mihir to have sent Adeline into this state?"

Osanna covered Adeline\'s body with a warm blanket. And she went over to grab the bowl of tonic. "Hawisa, how do we feed this to her? Can she even swallow it while she is unconscious? Won\'t she choke?"

"I… have no idea," Hawisa was as clueless as Osanna. She thought for a while and suggested, "I think we should wait until she wakes up."

They then waited for some time hoping Adeline would wake up before trying to feed her the tonic. But it looked like Adeline was not waking up anytime soon.

So Hawisa offered to open Adeline\'s mouth while Osanna fed her the medicine.

However, the moment that tonic entered Adeline\'s mouth, she curled her lips in disgust and coughed out the medicine.

She opened her eyes as if she was ready to shout in anger. But she controlled her anger when she saw Hawisa towering over her face. "Hawisa? What… where am I?" She wrinkled her nose in disgust and grazed her tongue with her teeth. "And why is my mouth all bitter? Pass me some water please."

Hawisa and Osanna turned into statues for a while because they were confused about whether to cry or laugh.

They ended up hugging Adeline and happily crying.

"We were so worried about you Adeline," Hawisa whispered while shedding the tears of joy.

Osanna broke off from the hug and teased Adeline, "If we knew that you would wake up the moment you would taste this bitter medicine then we would have done that hours ago."

"Oh! So that was the taste of medicine?" Adeline laughed while her eyes were filled with tears seeing her maids rejoicing upon her waking up.

However, her joy was short-lived as all the memories of what had happened came flooding into her mind. Several worry lines appeared on her forehead and she tried to jump out of the bed to go and see her father.

"Adeline! What are you doing?" Hawisa held Adeline by her arm and made her lie down again. "You are still weak. You cannot leave this bed like this. Please stay calm."

But there was no way Adeline would be able to stay calm while knowing that her old father was hurt badly. She tried to force herself up while saying, "I have to see my father. Where is he?"

Both Osanna and Hawisa kept on holding Adeline down on the bed.

And Hawisa informed the Princess, "His Majesty is alright. A guard came here a little while ago asking about your health. He said that the King was demanding to know how you were. The King has already regained his consciousness and he is currently resting in his own chamber."

Adeline calmed down a little after hearing that and she stopped struggling to get out of her bed. "What about his wounds? He was bitten by that so-called King." Adeline frowned as she recalled the horrible scene that had happened in front of her eyes.

"Prince Theodore brought the witches to treat your and His Majesty\'s wounds." Hawisa updated the Princess.

Adeline\'s eyes widened a little because she just realized that her neck didn\'t hurt at all. She lightly touched on the area she had been bitten and she felt nothing, the wounds had already disappeared.

"Where is Theodore?" she glanced at her maids and asked with a little hint of sadness in her eyes.

Hawisa pointed towards the meeting room and replied, "He gave some instructions to the guards and left about an hour ago."

"The guards are waiting there?" Adeline questioned them again to which Hawisa gave a nod.

Adeline tried to get up from the bed again, only to get a glare from both Hawisa and Osanna. So instead, she politely asked, "Will you call one of them, please?"

"Only if you finish this bowl of medicine," Osanna gave an innocent smile and presented the bowl full of that bitter and green liquid.

Adeline promptly held her breath as the pungent smell entered her nose.

"It is for your own health, Adeline." Hawisa helped Adeline to sit up on the bed and Osanna passed on the tonic.

Adeline reluctantly took the bowl and took a deep breath in. She pinched her nose with one hand and with the other she chugged down the herbal tonic in no time.

She gasped and then asked again, "Now will you call them?"

Osanna went and sent in one of the guards to Adeline\'s room. Adeline asked that guard about the current situation of the King, the Palace, the ruined meeting room, and everything that she had missed.

And that guard answered each and every question of her in detail. And he concluded, "Prince Theodore has already looked after everything so, Your Highness does not need to worry about anything right now. Please rest for the night and replenish your health completely."

Adeline smiled and dismissed the guard, "Sure. Thank you for your concern."

She felt grateful towards Theodore after hearing everything that he had done in her absence. And at the same time, she also felt sad. "I scolded him for no reason… How am I going to face him? I shouldn\'t have been that mean to him when I was the one to call him here in the first place."

She wondered how everything would have turned out if she had not summoned Theodore to stay in the meeting. "Everyone in the Palace would probably have been massacred. And Wyverndale would have been limited to legends and history."

"But father…" Adeline gulped at the thought of her father. She was not ready to lose him yet.

Her thoughts were disturbed by Hawisa who suddenly asked Adeline, "Princess, is Prince Theodore a wizard? I swear I saw him disappear right in front of my eyes. But Osanna says that I was just hallucinating."

"Of course you were!" Osanna frowned at Hawisa and asked, "How can someone disappear into thin air? I haven\'t even heard any witches or wizards doing that."

Hawisa sneered and threw a satire, "You were completely lost in your own world at that time for you to notice anything."

They kept on quarreling with each other until Adeline took it upon herself to stop them. "Hawisa wasn\'t hallucinating. He can teleport."

"Ha! See, I was right!" Hawisa proudly smiled until she heard Adeline saying the remaining bit.

"And he is not a wizard. He is the Devil whom I met when I was three." Adeline didn\'t think that it was fair to keep them in dark anymore when these two should have been the first ones to find out about Theodore\'s true identity and her relationship with him.

"De-De-Devil?" Osanna dropped straight to the floor.

Hawisa looked at Osanna and chose to ignore her.. Her mind had stopped working upon hearing that the one who she thought was an angel was in fact a devil.
