She Belongs To The Devil

The Goddess also forgot all about her husband and his possible schemes and drowned herself in the chat and laughter with her sons and the others.

And when all the adults were busy talking and watching Ariel and Joyce running around as if they were some kittens running after woolen balls, there was a knock on the door.

"Your Majesty, it\'s me," came a familiar voice from behind the door.

Adeline turned towards the closed door and asked, "Come in, Osanna."

Osanna entered the room with a huge covered tray in her hand. However, there were a lot more people inside the room than she expected. She bowed to the Goddess and Azriel and then apologized, "My deepest apologies. I was unaware of–"

"Osanna!" Ariel ran towards Osanna and hugged her leg. She looked up and then asked while jumping up and down, "Osanna, did you bring clouds? Can I eat it?"

Osanna awkwardly glanced at Adeline as if to ask whether it was the right moment or not.

Adeline gave a gentle smile and then said, "You\'ve come right on time. Did you bring Ariel\'s clouds?"

"Ariel\'s Clouds?" Azriel glanced towards the tray with an eager look in his eyes.

"Yes, I did." Osanna smiled and then walked towards the table in the center of the living room.

Ariel also followed Osanna as if she was her tail. And she loomed near the table and watched Osanna carefully placing the tray on the table.

Everyone in the room was eagerly watching the hyper-excited Ariel with wide smiles on their faces.

When Osanna was about to take off the lid from the tray, Ariel glanced at Joyce and then called her, "Joy, come here quickly. We have to eat the cloud real fast. Else it will turn into water."

Osanna chuckled and then said to the Princess, "This is a little different type of cloud. It will only turn into the water if you put it inside your mouth."

"Really?" Ariel\'s eyes were twinkling with an immeasurable amount of excitement.

She gave a calling gesture to Joyce again and called her, "Joyce, come. We have to make it rain in our mouth."

The room was filled with soft chuckles and laughter. All the adults were also curious to see what exactly Osanna had brought.

Joyce was feeling a little shy now that everyone was silent and was watching her and Ariel. But still, she walked closer to Ariel since she was insisting so much and Osanna was also waiting for her to come closer.

Finally, when Joyce stood beside the table, Ariel climbed onto the table to get a closer look at her clouds. And then she asked Osanna, "Open the tray. Fast. Fast."

Ariel\'s eyes were glued to the tray. She couldn\'t wait to stuff the cloud in her mouth.

And the moment Osanna removed the lid, Ariel\'s jaw dropped.

The thing on the tray looked like two huge loaves of white clouds sitting very delicately. And to add to that, it smelled unbelievably tasty.

Ariel didn\'t imagine that the clouds would smell like some candy because she had literally inhaled clouds while flying with her mother and Arion. And if anything, she knew that they smelled like really chilly fog.

Ariel was subconsciously drooling but she felt as though the clouds would disappear the moment she would touch them. So she kept on staring at those clouds and inhaling that sweet aroma.

Joyce was also in the same state as Adeline. She wanted to grab one of the fluffy pieces and taste it but she resisted since Ariel was not making any move.

The sweet candy-like aroma soon filled the room and Azriel also got curious. He got up from his seat and asked as he walked towards the table, "Are you sure that\'s not cotton dipped in vanilla?"

He tore a piece of the cloud, to Ariel\'s utter shock, and then he took it close to his nose and asked Osanna, "You sure this is edible?"

"Yes, Dragon Immortal."

Ariel closely watched that piece of cloud in Azriel\'s hand and watched him stuff it in his mouth.

Azriel widened his eyes. His eyes looked somewhere between shocked and impressed.

Without saying a word, he tore another huge chunk of that cloud and shoved it inside his mouth in one go. He closed his eyes and moaned. And he literally shed visible specks of gold dust from his whole body.

He finally opened his eyes and exclaimed, "What sorcery is this? How can it melt the moment it touches my tongue? And how does it taste so good?" Find your next read on m_v l|e-NovelBin.net

Azriel reached out his hand once more to grab the remaining quarter of one of the clouds on the tray.

However, Ariel grabbed both the clouds like an eagle and ran at lightning speed to seek her grandmother\'s protection.

Theodore and Adeline laughed hysterically after witnessing that sly side of their daughter.

It took a few seconds for Edwin and Juniper to catch up to what just happened in front of their eyes. And Joyce was staring at the empty tray with a dejected look on her face. She looked as though someone had snatched her favorite toy.

Azriel tip-toed towards Ariel with a silly smile on his face. "Won\'t you give some to your uncle?" he kept on teasing Ariel and inching forward. He was seriously thinking of snatching the cotton candy from Ariel.

Ariel had this urge to stuff the whole thing in her mouth rather than share it with her uncle. But she resisted her urge and quickly handed out the huge one to her grandmother and asked, "Granny, divide it for everyone."

"Aww… that\'s really sweet," the Goddess praised her granddaughter. She wanted to let her cute granddaughter have it all. But rather than saying that, she took that candy from her. She didn\'t want Ariel to think that she could always have everything while the others watched.

The Goddess began tearing the candy to hand them out as per Ariel\'s wish.

Ariel, on the other hand, ran past her greedy uncle and stood beside Joy. She tore the cotton candy that she was holding into half and handed one half to her cousin.

Joyce happily accepted it and the two of them tore and put a piece in their mouth.

The way the candy\'s aroma entered their nose, the way it melted in their mouth, and the way it tasted, both the kids were instantly spellbound by that piece of cloud.

Ariel even began to shake her hips and dance. It tasted heavenly. All of Ariel\'s senses were also dancing along with her.

"Do you like it?" Adeline asked from behind.

Ariel turned around and nodded her head. She didn\'t say a word because she didn\'t have any words to describe her happiness. Plus, she was too busy eating the cloud.

After a while of eating and dancing, Ariel glanced at the last piece of the cloud in her hand. She wanted to know if this cloud also gave that same chilly sensation in her chest like the ones in the sky.

So without thinking a second time, Ariel pushed that candy in her nostril and snorted.

"Ary!" Theodore happened to see what Ariel did and he teleported to Ariel\'s side in a blink. He pinched the side in which she had not pushed the candy in and asked, "Blow your nose. Else it will get stuck in your head."

Ariel grabbed her head in panic and happened to sneeze repeatedly.

The Goddess instantly twirled her fingers and magically cleaned Ariel\'s nose.

For a second there, Ariel had everyone panicking.

Adeline went and hugged Ariel and softly scolded her, "You shouldn\'t put things in your nose, Ary! Don\'t do that again."

Ariel showed her teeth and grinned without a hint of fear or guilt on her face.
