She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 499: Hope

After getting the plea for help from Lilith, Theodore teleported outside his magical dome.

He left Lilith trapped inside of it. She was way too vulnerable at the moment for him to take the barrier down and expose her and her baby to the war that was still going on outside.

When Theodore stepped outside of the small world that he had created for him and Lilith, he noticed that the battle was going in favor of Wyverndale.

More than half of Wyverndale's human soldiers were going against around a quarter of Mihir's human soldiers.

Around three hundred werewolves were still standing while the number of vampires was only around a hundred.

Two to three wolves were attacking a vampire at once. Some were grabbing the arms and legs of those vampires with their fangs and some were giving the finishing blow to those vampires.

The vampires were also trying to put on the best fight of their life. Some of them were in a 'beast mode' and were fighting those two/three werewolves at once.

Some were even running past the labyrinth created by the werewolves and the sorcerers to keep those vampires separate from the rest of the human soldiers.

However, the human soldiers who were equipped with the crossbow were able to take those vampires down with some help from the sorcerers.

Theodore then glanced at the warm morning sunrays and thought, "The war should be over soon."

"Where's Adeline, by the way?" he looked at the sea of soldiers and followed his instinct.

He saw Arion and Adeline teaming up against Reginald and giving him hell.

Arion had melted the armor and clothes that were guarding Reginald's chest. And Adeline was constantly swooping in and grazing and slicing Reginald's chest, trying to cut open his ribs and stab his heart.

Without his sword, Reginald was unable to get past Adeline's silver armor and her marvelous sword.

Reginald already looked blue and grey with all the cuts that he got from Adeline's sword.

Theodore couldn't be any prouder of both Adeline and Arion. "Those are my mains," he smiled softly and thought to himself.

He would have loved to stay a while longer and watch his wife and familiar fighting against the man he hated from his gut. But he didn't want Lilith's child to die even before being born.

"I have to find the pill… but whom should I ask? I don't want to disturb Adeline when she is in the middle of that battle." Theodore pressed his fist against his lips and then tried to remember everyone whom Adeline had given the pills to.

Theodore's eyes fell on Agnes. She looked like a lone witch because she was riding a horse in the middle of the foot soldiers of Wyverndale and Mihir. She was defending herself against the attacks from the enemy soldiers and was trying to reach the place where she had seen the Queen.

"I bet she has some spare," Theodore thought to himself and then teleported beside Agnes.

Theodore raised a temporary barrier covering the two of them and he asked her, "Agnes, sorry to interrupt you but I am in dire need of a healing pill. Do you have some?"

Agnes gave a gentle bow to the Prince Consort. But then she denied, "I distributed it among the werewolves of Beta Team." She lowered her gaze a little and then added, "I had one left with me but I had to use it on myself."

Theodore noticed a huge hole in her armor on the right side of her abdomen. He gave a short smile to Agnes and said, "I am glad to see you alive and well."

Theodore kept on standing there, thinking of who he could go to next.

Agnes glanced at the furrowed brows of Theodore and probed further to see if she could offer her help, "Is the one in need of a healing pill in a very critical condition? If not then maybe I can heal them."

Theodore wasn't sure how critical the baby's condition was. But he thought that rather than wasting some more time by roaming around in search of the healing pill, Agnes would be the best bet at saving that baby at the moment.

"Okay, come with me," Theodore held out his hand for Agnes to hold.

When Agnes lightly touched Theodore's palm, Theodore also touched the horse that she was riding and then teleported them back inside the dome.

By the time they reached the dome, Lilith had already fallen unconscious from overexertion.

Agnes was not expecting to see a beautiful woman lying on the mattress inside some sort of protective barrier. But she guessed that it was the demoness.

"She is the one who needs healing?" Agnes climbed down from the horse and asked while rushing to check on Lilith.

Theodore also followed her while saying, "I don't know how your healing magic works but it's her baby that needs the healing first. She's pregnant."

Agnes sat down beside Lilith and placed her palm on the lower abdomen of the demoness. Just from that touch, she could tell that the fetus would need a great deal of energy for it to heal completely.

She glanced at Theodore and warned him, "Your Royal Highness, I will be channeling you as my power source."

Theodore gave a nod.

As soon as Theodore gave the permission, the witch began to chant the healing spell.

The time that she had spent increasing her capacity to channel the extra amount of energy for Adeline's sake proved to be useful right now. The fetus was using up as much energy as Adeline in the healing process.

At first, it looked like the healing spell was working just fine. Theodore had been listening to the heartbeat of the baby. And the nonexistent heartbeat was now sounding healthy.

However, when Agnes was still closing her eyes and was chanting the spell, she suddenly began to shudder and convulse.

Theodore was quite sure that it wasn't supposed to happen when healing someone. "Is that baby draining Agnes' life force?" he thought and approached Agnes' shoulder so that he could push her away from Lilith.

But at the same time, he wasn't sure if he should be interfering. "What if one of the two dies because of my interference."

Agnes' convulsion became violent by the second. "But what if Agnes dies because I hesitated?"

"Argh!" Theodore felt like tearing his hair off of his head because of the dilemma.

Finally, Agnes jerked away her hand from Lilith's belly and shot her eyes open.

Her chest was heaving rapidly. She covered her mouth with the back of her palm and gulped to moisten her throat.

"What happened? Did something go wrong?" Theodore asked while furrowing his brows.

If something had gone wrong with the baby, meaning if it would die soon, then he was already considering ending Lilith's life because he was sure as hell that she would go berserk if that was to happen. He didn't want to endanger the lives of his loved ones by keeping her alive in that case.

Contrary to what he had thought, Agnes glanced at Theodore and removed her palm to reveal a wide smile.

Theodore squinted his eyes at Agnes. He found her smile to be very unusual.

The children of demons were known to display extraordinary power while they were still in their mother's womb. So he suspiciously asked, "Did that baby do something funny to your head?"

Agnes laughed at that unexpected question from the Prince Consort and shook her head. "No, I saw a vision of the baby's future."

For some reason, the smile never left her lips. She gently caressed Lilith's stomach and added, "He's going to be a very troublesome child."

Theodore raised his brows, still suspecting that Agnes was under some kind of influence of that baby. And he mockingly said, "That's very reassuring!"

Understanding what Theodore was implying, Agnes smiled again and said, "I didn't mean he will be troublesome like that Vampire King. I meant to say that he is going to be a very playful and lively kid. And a very powerful one, if I may add."

"So, it's a boy, huh!" Theodore nodded his head and glanced at Lilith. He hoped that what Agnes said about the baby would turn out to be true. He hoped that the baby wouldn't grow up to be like his father.
