Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 - 53

Heaven went back home smiling at Zamiel's reaction. No matter how old someone was, there was no such thing as too experienced, she realized. It was normal to be nervous, even she was nervous for him despite knowing that he would do well.

Before leaving him, he had kissed her lightly, but she was still giddy. And her fangs and claws were still out. What was this man doing to her?

She let herself fall back on her bed and kept giggling to herself. Abruptly she stopped. What was she doing? She had important things to take care of. She would see Zamiel later anyway, when he comes to have dinner with her mother.

Now she had to prepare for her fighting lesson with Roshan. It would be awkward if he knew what happened between her and his son. Not that Zarin was the type to tell his parents anything or listen to them. Every time they told him to do something or not to do something he would say, "alright, I will" or, "alright I won't" and then forget about it the next moment.

One day his mother had enough and dragged him to his lesson. "If you don't attend your lessons, don't come back home." She told him.

Zarin was closer to his mother and Gina to her father. Every time there was a fight between the parents, Roshan would say, "you spoiled your son. Look how well I raised my daughter."

Just like the way her mother spoke to her father, "you spoiled your daughter."

Your? It was never our when they did something wrong.

It was the same when one parent did something wrong, "your father knows nothing."

Heaven thought it was hilarious. Sometimes she wanted to correct them and say, "my father and your husband." Sometimes she even wanted to tease her mother and say, "it's his Majesty, the King. You could get executed."

Maybe she would someday in the future.

Only a year ago Heaven remembered a conversation Roshan had with her father. He was complaining about raising children.

"I never thought it would be this difficult." He said. "The more they grow, the harder it gets."

Her father nodded in agreement.?"As a parent, it feels like whatever you do, it is not enough."

"The girl is fine, but raising a boy…" Roshan shook his head.

Her father chuckled. "Boys are rebellious. He will calm down eventually."

"When?" Roshan asked. "When I was his age, I was taking care of my father's business and bringing in more wealth than him. When you were his age, you had already joined the royal council, were a commander of the royal army and won several battles. When his uncle was his age, he was establishing a kingdom. Men his age are providing for their families."

That was the day Heaven realized she had duties and responsibilities. She couldn't just deny to get married. It was her duty as a princess.

No matter how playful Roshan was, when it came to business he was serious. "Time and money are things you need to use wisely." He would tell them. "Use your brain and your strength generously. The more you use them, the stronger they grow."

He would always give them advice from time to time, Gina would take them and Zarin would leave them.

Because of Roshan, Heaven had learned to not blame her parents and appreciate them.

"Trying to be a good parent is like trying to solve a riddle with no answer." He once told her. Heaven was young then, but she understood that being a parent was not easy. If someone like Roshan was complaining, then she could only imagine.

Heaven loved Roshan. She didn't want him to dislike her because of Zarin, so she was nervous to meet him.

She went to the backyard and found him training with Gina. She watched them for a while from a distance until they noticed her.

"Heaven!" Gina waved for her to come.

She went to them, and Gina gave her a smile as usual. Heaven wasn't worried about Gina. She had always told her to keep the relationship between them and the one with her brother separate.

"Good morning." Heaven greeted both.

"Good morning." Roshan replied, and Heaven tried to analyze his facial expression. He seemed as usual.

Gina moved out of the way so her father could train Heaven. This time Roshan threw daggers at her and Heaven caught them in the air. She looked at him questioningly.

"I think you fight very well with a sword now. It will be much more beneficial to fight with daggers when fighting demons. They are also easier to carry everywhere." He explained.

Roshan was the master of using daggers, but Heaven did at least not make a fool of herself while learning this time. After fighting with the demons on the party, her will to learn had increased. She wanted to master the daggers as well.
