Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 247

Chapter 247: 124

"It is always the ones with dirty hands pointing the fingers."- Sonya Teclai.

*************************

Heaven was preparing herself to go to the dinner that she was invited to. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought of whether it would be a good idea to go there wearing her own clothes or if she should dress like everyone else. She didn't want to draw attention and walking around dressing like she did back home made everyone know that she was new to the kingdom. That is not what she wanted. She wanted to blend in.

After staring at herself for a while, she decided that she needed to change her clothes. She went to the suitcase that the women brought to her room and opened it. There were several fabrics in beautiful colors, but she grabbed a green one that matched the color of her eyes. Quickly changing into the strange clothes, she went to the mirror and looked at herself again.

Her first thought was, no!

This was too revealing. Her entire stomach and back were bare, and she wasn't comfortable revealing that much, especially now that she had lost so much weight. The skirt was tight around her hips, accentuating her curves, and the splits on the sides revealed her lower legs when she moves. She felt naked.

While staring at her figure, her grandmother walked into the room. Her eyes widened when she saw the way she had dressed.

"What is happening?" She asked.

Heaven's shoulders fell. "I was invited to dinner by Lothaire's daughters." She said then explained what happened.

Irene nodded. "Will you wear this?" She didn't like it.

Heaven didn't feel comfortable in it either, so she decided to change back into her own dress. "No." She said, going back to pick up her much less revealing gown.

"I am coming with you." Her grandmother was resolute, leaving no room for argument.

"Alright." Heaven said, feeling no need to argue when her grandmother had already set up her mind.

She wasn't invited, but who cared. Once Hezznin was here to escort her, Heaven would introduce her grandmother. If Hezznin continued to act kind, then she would invite her grandmother as well.

And she was right. When Hezznin arrived at her door, she asked her grandmother to have dinner with them as well. She led them to what she called the main quarter. It was where the devil's family stayed.

The main quarter had a different feel to it. It was brighter and more luxurious, with golden and wooden interior. Hezznin was very talkative, telling them a little about the kingdom, the people and her family. She had a soothing voice and a gentle smile as she spoke.

Heaven guessed that they neared the dinning hall when she heard the sound of instruments playing, chatter, and laughter. They came to a large wooden door with a guard standing on each side. The guards opened the door for them and they entered a great hall filled with people. This didn't look like a simple family dinner.

Hezznin noticed her surprised expression and smiled. "We are a big family." She explained.

Heaven nodded.

There were several large tables placed around the room, leaving the middle empty for a few women who danced to the music. They seemed to like a lot of entertainment in this kingdom.
