Chapter 562: Preparation for the Class
Chapter 562: Preparation for the Class
A few days passed by.
The Wyverndale Palace didn't get any unexpected visit from God again. But still, Theodore and Adeline were always on the lookout.
Ariel had been pestering Theodore to take her to Damien's place. She wanted to bring several food items to him along with the cloud. She already missed playing with him.
However, Theodore was not taking her there. Or rather, he could not take her there.
Before leaving the Palace, the Goddess had asked Theodore not to take Ariel out of the Palace until she came to visit them again. She first wanted to make her husband believe that what she did was for the betterment of Ariel.
And just as his mother had asked, Theodore hadn't taken Ariel to Hell as well.
Because it was obviously out of the barrier. And though it was a well-known fact that God never stepped his foot in Hell, there was no telling if he would keep on maintaining that status quo.
Just like his mother had suspected, if God's plan was to eventually make Ariel his replacement, then Theodore was not going to take any risk. There were other methods to practically kidnap Ariel even if God didn't personally come down to Hell.
"Dada, when can I go to meet Damien?" Ariel asked as she slept in between her father and her mother.
Theodore gently caressed Ariel's head and answered, "When your grandmother comes to visit us again."
"Why?"
"Because she mistakenly took my magic when she visited the last time. And I cannot teleport." Theodore lied with great difficulty because Ariel was not going to stop pestering him if he didn't do so.
"Oh!" Ariel pressed her lips into a thin line and then asked again, "When will granny come here again?"
Theodore took a deep breath in and said, "I don't know, sweetheart. I hope she will visit soon. I also miss Damien."
Ariel's lips curved downward and she sadly asked, "Damien won't get angry at me, right?"
Adeline hugged Ariel from behind and consoled her, "He won't get angry at you, baby. Even if he gets angry, you can tell him why you couldn't visit him. And he will forgive you."
And Adeline kissed Ariel at the back of her head and whispered, "You should sleep now. Your father will take you there once your granny will visit you. I will ask Osanna to pack lunch for both of you when the day comes."
Ariel held her mother's finger and asked, "Pack a huge lunchbox. He doesn't have food there. He must be really hungry."
Theodore smiled and said, "He won't get hungry even if he doesn't eat. Didn't he explain it to you? That he can eat aura as well. Aura also tastes good. You can also do that once you grow a little older."
"Really?" Ariel's eyes twinkled. She wanted to know what that 'Ora' tasted like. "Can you teach me how to eat ora?" she asked her father.
"I will." Theodore gave a smile to Ariel and said, "I will teach you a lot of things from tomorrow."
And Theodore also asked, "Are you excited to start the class with your cousins from tomorrow?"
"Yeah," Ariel giggled happily.
Ever since her mother had mentioned that she would now be taking classes together with the twins and Joyce, she was eagerly waiting for that day to come soon. Sitting in the same class with her cousins sounded more fun than reading alone with Bennett. She wished that her mother had thought of that sooner.
"I am going to have a lot of fun tomorrow and after tomorrow," Ariel happily said.
However, Theodore warned her, "Ary, sitting together in class with your cousins does not mean that you can play and eat with them, okay? Sure, you can do that as well but only when your teachers say so."
Adeline also pitched in from behind, "And you cannot sleep in class or run away from the class, okay?"
Theodore then scared her so that she would take the classes seriously, "And the teachers are very scary. They are not like uncle Bennett. If you do mischief or disobey your teachers then the demons will come and take you away."
Ariel was dumbfounded and was staring at Theodore with wide eyes as if to ask why the hell he would keep such scary people as her and her cousins' teachers.
But all she could do was take down a big gulp and stare at her father.
Theodore immediately felt sorry for his daughter and wanted to say that he was just joking. But he wanted his daughter to be more obedient. He didn't want her sleeping in the class or running away or giving headaches to her teachers by being an unruly kid.
So he lightly caressed Ariel's hair and said, "They won't let the demons come near you if you obey them and listen to them. And you will get to know a lot of interesting things from tomorrow so don't be so worried." Continue your journey with m|v-l'-NovelBin.net
"Can I take Osanna to my class?" she managed to ask that much.
Theodore chuckled and shook his head. "No. There will only be four of you in the class."
"But I am so scared," Ariel looked as though she was going to cry.
Adeline tightly hugged Ariel and then said, "Then you can take Mr. Mouse along with you. I will ask him to look after you, okay? He will scare the demons away if they try to take you."
Ariel nodded her head and tightly held her mother's fingers.

Tomorrow finally arrived.
When Ariel opened her eyes, her mother and father were already dressed up and were drinking aromatic tea.
"Good morning, Ary." Both of her parents greeted her.
However, Ariel pretended to be still asleep. She didn't want to go to her class after getting scared by her father yesterday night.
"Ary, get up, now. Come on." Adeline came to tickle Ariel and wake her up.
But Ariel suppressed her laughter and didn't budge.
And Adeline finally told her daughter, "I heard that uncle Nigel will be coming to the class with Niylah and Ramon. And I heard that he is going to show you all some magic in the class."
"Magic?" Ariel opened her eyes in an instant.
Adeline smiled at her daughter, not knowing whether the kids would like the 'magic' or not.
Adeline was thinking of asking Nigel to transform into his wolf form and show the kids what he could do.
Though it was not planned for the very first day to show the transformation to the kids, she thought that it could be a better motivation for the kids to go to the class in the hopes of seeing such extraordinary magic every day.
She really hoped that the kids wouldn't get scared after seeing the transformation.
