Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: 134

After erasing Heaven's memory, Lothaire went back to the throne hall and sat on his throne. More than ever, he just wanted to feel powerful and in control for a moment. He opened The Eye with a wave of his hand and watched the world, but it didn't make him feel any better.

Something was wrong with him and he didn't want to admit to himself yet what could be wrong. He was probably just distracted for a moment and would get over it soon.

He was never emotional. How long could he possibly continue being this emotional? Probably not too long.

'Have you ever loved grandma?'

Her annoying voice kept repeating in his head.

'Love is not just a feeling.'

Lothaire shook his head and tried to shut her voice out. Why would he care about what she thought? She was the one who thought that God was trying to give him a second chance.

Lothaire laughed cynically to himself.

"Annoying." He spat.

He knew he was letting her affect him, but he couldn't help it. He wasn't detached as he used to be.

Watching through The Eye, he tried to find Irene.

Lothaire was surprised by what he found. Irene was in one of the scandalous parties in the castle with a male demon in her company. They sat on a couch close to each other while drinking wine and chatting. She had a smile on her face and seemed to enjoy herself. The male demon put his hand around her shoulders and whispered something into her ear that made her laugh.

Lothaire didn't know what had gotten into him, but suddenly he was fuming with anger. What was happening? How could he have missed this?

Heaven. That girl. He wanted to kill her.

After a short while, the male demon asked Irene for a dance and led her to the dance floor. He drew her into his arms and they began to sway to the music. Lothaire clenched his jaw in fury when he saw the lust in the male's gaze. He would kill him later.

Unable to watch anymore, he shut The Eye. Then he became restless, thinking of what they might do next.

Irene wouldn't. She wasn't that kind of woman.

He tried his best to not rush to the party and tear that male's head off. But then everyone would know that he cared for Irene and those he hurt would try to use her against him. Not caring and having no weaknesses was his true power.

His real enemies were mostly ancient demons. Those he couldn't kill unless he found the secret weapon that could kill them. He knew that Zamiel had gone to see one of his oldest enemies.

Euphorion.

Euphorion didn't like land demons because they always caused trouble, but Zamiel was known to be of the good ones. Therefore Lothaire suspected that Euphorion must have agreed to meet him, especially if he knew that they had a common enemy.

Good ancient demons were a threat to his mission. The more demons whom chose to have them as their lord, the fewer demons Lothaire would have to help him with his mission. To mislead as many as possible, he needed to grow his army.

He opened The Eye again. He was letting himself get too distracted with Heaven that he was forgetting to keep his eye on the real danger. What was Zamiel planning? He knew something wasn't right when he just let Heaven go.

Lothaire watched Zamiel, who was going on with his life as if nothing was wrong. He was spending his day working and then relaxing. Lothaire knew that Zamiel had a plan that he was confident about to stay this calm and that disturbing.

Did Zamiel know about Irene? He knew that Zamiel had gone to Irene's room before she left and they had just stared at each other. He knew they spoke telepathically, so he couldn't hear them. What did Zamiel tell her?

Lothaire felt impatient and wanted to compel the truth out of Irene. Maybe he would if he couldn't find out any other way.

After a while he became tired of watching Zamiel and also more worried about Irene. He couldn't stop thinking about her and what she could be doing. He couldn't fight not being obsessed with her, so he went back to see what she was doing. Now she was back in her room and sat near the window. Lothaire couldn't understand why that whole family loved gardens so much.

Unable to restrain himself, he went to see her. He knocked on the door and then she asked him to come inside. When she realized it was him, she turned back to watch the garden, ignoring him completely.

'Have you ever loved grandma?'
