Theodore thought that the only possible reason of why he was feeling that way was because of his connection with Princess Adeline. Theodore thought to himself "Maybe soone is trying to hurt her again. I should go and check." and he waved his hand around to teleport himself to the Palace.
And within a few seconds, Theodore was in Princess Adeline's room. He looked around but did not see the Princess anywhere. He went to another room and then to another. He searched frantically for his little human to no avail.
"Did sothing already happen to her again?" Theodore narrowed his gaze and mumbled in a deep voice. "But I can still feel her presence. I have to find her before anything bad happens."
Then he folded his legs and sat down on the floor to find Adeline by using his Divine Vision. A long ti ago, when Theodore was able to please his father by successfully completing a task that was assigned to him, his father had bestowed him with the gift of the Divine eyes.
And by using the power of his Divine Vision, he was able to see the past as well as the future. He was also able to use it to find anything or anyone in the present.
However, this Divine Vision also beca a curse to Theodore. After getting the gift from his father, he was curious to see his own future. He sat down beneath a large tree in the garden of Heaven and closed his eyes to test his gift. But he saw that in the future he was banished to an unknown land by his father.
Furious with what he saw, he waited for a chance to take revenge with his father, for the action that his father was yet to take. He waited patiently for thousands of years, watching everything that his father was doing.
His father was finally able to create supre creatures, a man and a woman. The almighty sent them down to the land that was full of his creations. It was called Earth.
Finally, for taking his ho away in the future, Theodore decided to ruin his father's supre creation till date. And coincidently, one of his brothers, Samael was also thinking the sa. He had his eyes on the beautiful woman that his father had created, nad Lillith.
After talking with his brother, Theodore descended down to Earth and poisoned Lillith's mind with lust. Lillith left Adam, her husband, and went along with Samael.
The Almighty was enraged when he realized that his creation and his sons had defied him.
And the future that Theodore had seen beca true. Because he tampered with his father's prized creation, he was banished from Heaven and fell down on Earth.
After that incident, Theodore realized that his rash action was the main cause behind shaping the future that he saw. And from that ti, he never used his Divine Vision to see into the future again.
But today's issue was different. He was not using his power to see into the future but he was using it to navigate a person in the present.
After closing his eyes and concentrating his mind on Adeline, he saw her crying in what seed like a training ground. He opened his eyes and said, "Now why would a Princess wear such a peculiar dress? And why would she cry in front of those kids?"
Theodore humd for a while and thought, "Maybe it is a normal banter between the kids. I was anxious for no reason. But now that I'm already here, maybe I should see my little human before I go."
He got up from the floor and perford his hand gestures to make him invisible to humans. Then he slowly strolled around the Palace making his way towards the training ground.
When he reached the training ground to see Adeline, he was happy that he decided to go there because he got to witness sothing very interesting. He saw that the naïve Princess was now able to defend herself and take a stand for herself. And he also noticed that the bond between Adeline and a young boy who was beside her seed to be strong.
He could not help but beco curious, and not to ntion a little jealous of their bond, "Now who might that young boy be?" But what he did not know was that every girls and boys present in that ground were brothers and sisters.
Edwin and Nigel were now gritting their teeth and were ready for a fist fight. Even though Alan had co in between them and tried to calm them down, he was not successful. Adeline was still holding the rim of Nigel's uniform, not sure what to do.
Theodore walked nearer and stood quietly beside Adeline. In case a fight broke out, he wanted to protect Adeline from any harm.
General Osmond noticed that the situation was about to beco worse. He already knew what he had wanted to know, so he ca out of his hiding and walked over to the place where another fight was about to start.
Osmond narrowed his gaze and shouted in a stern voice, "Why are you gathered here instead of practicing? Do I need to remind you what happens when you try to skip your practice?"
When General Osmond stood in front of his students, Theodore took a deep breath. "Oh! I recognize this sweet sll… the sll of a desire for revenge." Then an evil smirk lurked on Theodore's lips.
The Princes and Princesses imdiately understood what General Osmond ant by that - two extra hours of practice. They did not want to stay back for two more hours instead of returning to their respective quarters. So they ran away from the General's sight and started to practice so hand movents.
Nigel and Adeline were the only ones who were in front of General Osmond; and of course Theodore was also still there because he wanted to know more about the General. He liked the aura that surrounded vengeful people and he would thrive in such auras. He would nudge and push such people with his trickery, and would make them get their revenge.
Princess Adeline was still feeling hurt from the words of her brothers and sisters. She was still holding Nigel and was staring sadly on the ground. General Osmond kneeled down to see Adeline's face clearly and smiled at the Princess.
General Osmond handed one of the swords to Adeline and spoke to her in a softer voice than before, "Your Highness, I hope the others didn't bother you that much."
But the Princess was not the kind to suppress her feelings or filter while speaking because she was still a child. So she imdiately complained, "They hurt . They said so many an things to and brother Nigel."
"So he is her brother… good!" Theodore thought to himself and smiled.
On the other hand, Adeline's lips started to curve downwards and she was about to cry. Osmond caringly stroked her silver hair and said, "Princess Adeline, always rember one thing. Crying only makes you weak. If you do not want them to hurt you then you have to be stronger than everyone. That way, no one can ever talk down to you or hurt you. Do you understand?"
Princess Adeline sohow understood what the General was trying to say so she nodded. She gave a determined expression and said, "I have to be a King like my father. No one can talk bad to him."
Nigel laughed and corrected his sister, "You an Queen." Adeline gleefully smiled and examined her small sword.
General Osmond felt a sense of achievent when he heard what the Princess just said. He had successfully planted the seed of his revenge.
"You will no doubt beco a powerful Queen soday." Osmond said with a huge grin.
Theodore also had a huge smile on his face when he heard Adeline announcing to beco a Queen soday. "I have never t such an interesting human in my long life. But right now, this gentleman also interests greatly. Alright! Let's know your life story."
Theodore then walked closer to Osmond and touched Osmond with his fingertip while closing his eyes. He wanted to know everything about him and wanted to know "whom" and "why" of his revenge. He closed his eyes and then used his Divine Vision to look at the General's past.
Osmond's life story started to dance in front of Theodore's eyes. He saw that he was the one to take Adeline to his cave and he also saw how he was punished by Lillian when Theodore had brought back the Princess.
Theodore removed his finger from Osmond and when he opened his golden eyes, they were burning with rage towards Lillian. He now knew who the main culprit behind the abduction of the Princess was.
"This revenge just got personal. Now it's not just his revenge, it is mine as well. She dared to harm my little human. And she shall pay the price.. But not just yet, I will savor this revenge when the ti is right."
