When Theodore arrived at the Wyverndale Pce, he did not find Adeline in her room.


    He pouted his lips and uttered to himself, "Now where could she be? It''s getting harder and harder to get a hold of her these days."


    He thought for a while and whispered, "Maybe she is at Nigel''s quarter. Or at the King''s quarter… Let''s try Nigel''s ce first."


    Theodore teleported himself in front of the living room''s door and then gently knocked, "Nigel, is Adeline here?"


    He instantly heard the giggling sound of thedies from inside the room.


    Nigel opened the door for Theodore and weed him inside, "Theodore, we were just talking about you. Come on in."


    Theodore went inside to see the people he would usually meet at Nigel''s ce – Rhea, Queen ricia, and the twins. And of course, Adeline was also there.


    The twins were at the peak of their energy even though it was already veryte for them to stay awake. And the others were lounging around and talking.


    Theodore nced at Adeline who still had a huge smile on his face and asked, "What were youdies talking about? You all sounded very happy."


    Queen ricia nced at Theodore andined about Adeline, "Our Adeline here was very frantic and wanted to rush to her quarter saying you two had nned to meet and that you would keep on waiting there. And Rhea and I had bet with her saying that you woulde here looking for her."


    "And we won!" Rhea gleefully added andughed again. And she further teased Theodore and Adeline, "Oh, to be so in love… you two can''t even stay without seeing each other for a day, can you?"


    Theodore stole a nce of Adeline and agreed without even a hint of embarrassment, "Yes, I don''t know about Adeline but I can''t sleep without seeing her."


    "Oooohh!" Nigel and Rhea hooted and chuckled simultaneously, making Adeline''s ears and cheeks turn red.


    Rhea then poked Adeline on the thigh and asked, "Theodore said he can''t sleep without seeing you. What about you, Adeline? Can you live a day without seeing him?"


    Theodore went and sat in front of Adeline and gave a whimsical grin to her. And he waited for her answer.


    Everyone else was also attentively looking at Adeline as though she was going to give some kind of a powerful speech.


    Adeline pressed her cold palms over her cheeks and nervouslyughed. "Why are all of you looking at me like that? You all are making me nervous!"


    "Oh,e on, Adeline!" Rhea gently nudged her and said, "Don''t break the heart of our dear Prince. He is waiting for your answer so eagerly."


    Adeline looked deep into Theodore''s amber eyes. Even in the dim light of thentern, Adeline could see her own reflection in his eyes. She gave a soft smile to him and spoke to him in her sweet voice, "I don''t think I can go a single day without seeing you. I get worried thinking that something might have happened to you."


    Theodore smiled back at her and said, "I was right to think that you would be worried."


    Theodore wanted to inform Adeline about his mother''s arrival. But before he could do so, Nigel sat beside Theodore and then asked him, "So, brother, are you going toe here before the wedding day and make me wash your feet, or should I prepare to travel to your cave?"


    Theodoreughed and patted Nigel on his shoulder, "Come on, Nigel! Do you think that I am that heartless to make youe to my cave just to wash my feet?"


    "Thank goodness! I don''t need to prepare the carriage to go to your cave." Nigel heaved a sigh of relief and added, "I didn''t want to break my promise to you and I was seriously contemting about it."


    Theodore nced at the twins and said to Nigel, "How could I trouble the father of those cute babies to leave them and travel that far? You know I''m not that cruel."


    And then he gave a sly smirk to Nigel and further added, "I wille here on my own. And guess what? I will be generous enough and let you give me a bath before I get dressed for the wedding."


    Thedies in the room burst intoughter after hearing that snide remark from Theodore.


    And Nigel pressed his lips together into a thin line and nodded, "So that''s how it is."


    Theodore also nodded his head and replied with a sarcastic smile, "Yes, that''s how it is."


    Nigel kept on nodding his head while saying, "Sure. A promise is a promise."


    Theodoreughed and then focused his attention back on Adeline. And then he gave a coded message to her that he wouldn''t be sleeping with her tonight, "Adeline, my mother came to meet me after millenials. So, I will be at Azriel''s ce tonight. She will be staying there."


    Adeline kept on staring at Theodore with a dumbfounded look on her face. Her jaw was wide open because this was the first time he had mentioned that his mother was visiting him.


    "You mean the Holy Goddess is at the Dragon Crypt as we speak?" Adeline asked in a stunned voice.


    When Adeline put it that way, everyone else in the room was also stunned.


    "The Goddess is on Earth? We are sharing the same world as her right now?" Queen ricia was sping her hands together and stared at Theodore with sparkling eyes.


    Theodore smiled at those divinity-struck humans and nodded his head. "Yes, the Goddess is on Earth and you are sharing the same world."


    ricia instantly got up on her feet and faced in the direction where the Dragon Crypt was. She joined her hands together, closed her eyes, and then bowed her head to the mother of the world. "Oh, Holy Goddess, please ept my greeting."


    Now everyone in the room was raising their brows and were looking at that devotee.


    Theodore then cleared his throat and directed his words at ricia, "Your Majesty, our mother will be attending the wedding ceremony. You can meet her and greet her face to face on that day."


    ricia abruptly turned around to face Theodore and asked breathlessly, "The Goddess will be th…"


    And before the Queen could even finish her sentence, she copsed on the floor because of extreme excitement.


    Nigel instantly went and picked his mother up in his arms. And he called her while gently patting her on the cheek, "Mother! Mother! Can you hear me?"


    "Er… I don''t think I should have said that.." Theodore widened his eyes and kept on looking at the unconscious Queen.
