She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 120 - Have Mercy

Theodore smirked at the succubus who was begging for his mercy and said in a devilish tone, "Don't be afraid dear, I won't kill you. But if you don't do as I say, then I just might make everyone forget you by making you disappear from the face of Hell."

The succubus didn't want to disappear from existence. She wanted to live for as long as she could. That was the sole reason why she went to Earth in the first place. And now that the Devil Prince was threatening to wipe her whole existence, she began to wail like a little baby whose toy was snatched away from them.

She joined her hands together and pleaded to the Devil Prince while crying her eyes out, "I will do anything that you ask, Your Highness. But please, don't kill me."

Theodore gave a sinister smile because he had her right where he wanted to. He massaged his knuckles with his long fingers as though he was subtly threatening that succubus, that he could use his magic to kill her at any moment if she gave him any wrong answer.

And he asked, "You absorbed the life force of a King back on Earth, right?"

The succubus didn't know why the Devil Prince looked concerned about some King of Earth. But she nodded her head and managed to reply while sniffling, "Yes, I did."

"And you were summoned by a witch called Lillian?" Theodore asked with a little hint of hatred when he took her name.

The succubus's heartbeat started to escalate because she felt as though the Devil Prince knew each and every detail about her whole life. "Yes, I was summoned by her," the succubus nodded her head and kept on staring down at the ground, few drops of tears quietly running down her cheeks.

Theodore folded his hands and spoke authoritatively, "I want you to stop answering that summoning call. And I also want you to warn all your other friends not to answer any summoning calls from her."

Theodore cracked his neck and then glared at the succubus with his flaming red eyes. Even with the beautiful face of his, right now, he looked like the embodiment of pure evil. The aura around him grew darker and darker with every passing moment.

And he growled in a deep and threatening voice, "If I find out that any of you have answered to the summoning spell then I will burn down your whole settlement to a crisp."

This threat made the succubus to fall backward on the ground because she was in a life-threatening situation here. "Forgive me, Your Highness. Bu-but I cannot stop myself from answering the summoning calls even if I wanted to, trust me I wanted to stop going there even before you asked me. That King is way too powerful for me to deceive, and he ended up hurting me yesterday."

The Devil Prince took a step forward and snarled at that frightened succubus, "Then why can't you stop from going there?" Theodore was about to lose his patience.

The succubus shuddered when Theodore yelled at her. She was feeling as though any moment could be her last. And she blurted out in fear, "Because I have made a blood pact with that witch. I will be pulled to Earth even if I don't want to."

Theodore crackled his knuckles and exhaled sharply. "And you had to make a blood pact..."

Theodore was now seriously considering killing that succubus and making an example out of her. If he killed her, then Lillian's blood pact would be useless, and the other succubi would also be afraid to answer any of the summoning calls from now on.

He ran his fingers through his long dark hair and hummed for a while. He began to pace back and forth in front of that succubus, making her even more scared for her life. And he stopped in front of her and spoke calmly, but his words were very intimidating, "What should I do to you then? Should I just kill you?"

The succubus began to sob again and begged, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

But he snappishly shouted, "You have done something unforgivable! How dare you still plead for my mercy?"

If it was Adeline's tears then Theodore would have done anything and everything to make her stop crying. He would have even been ready to fight the God if she had asked him to. But this succubus's tears were having no effect whatsoever on Theodore. She was just another disposable creature for him.

The succubus bowed very low, her head almost touching the dirt, and she begged again, "Your Highness, I am sure there is another way. If you don't want me to touch that King then I won't touch him even though that witch summons me there."

"Can you do that?" Theodore narrowed his eyes and kept on glaring at her.

The succubus dared to look at the Devil Prince with confidence and replied, "Of course, Your Highness. That witch cannot keep an eye on me because of the guards in front of that King's door. So I can just pretend to do her bidding. If she points out that the King has not gotten any weaker then I can say that the King is too strong and it will take more time to suck his life out."

Theodore thought that even if he would eliminate that succubus, and would restrict the others from answering the summoning spell, Lillian would most probably find another wicked solution to kill the King. So if that succubus could make her believe that whatever she was doing was working, then Lillian wouldn't do something else which he would have to find out again.

"Hmm… if you can fool that witch then it is even better. If you are useful to me then I might not have to kill you after all." Theodore gave a devilish grin to that succubus. "Get up, you have been forgiven."

The succubus cried tears of joy and relief when she heard that the Devil Prince had forgiven her. She wasn't going to die! That is if she was able to keep on fooling Lillian. "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Thank you!" She bowed again to Theodore and kept on shedding her tears.

"Alright, I will leave you for now. But don't think that you can do whatever you want after I leave. Remember that I will be keeping an eye on you." Theodore gave his final warning to that succubus.

He glanced at the Chimera and then gestured to him that they were returning back to Earth.
