Capítulo 224: Something Amiss

Theodore gasped and flung his eyes open. He found himself surrounded by countless creatures of Hell. Everyone began to cheer and shout after he regained his consciousness.

One of the onlookers shouted, "Oh, look! The Devil Prince is awake!"

"Now we can finally watch that gargoyle beat the crap out of His Highness," Another one cackled.

Theodore tried to move but he saw that he was chained to a post outside his Gambling house. But that flaming chain was not what was putting him at unease. He felt as if there was this huge hole in his heart as if something was amiss. He felt as though… as though half of his soul was missing from his body.

He closed his eyes again and tried to recall how he ended up like this. And he remembered why he had fainted earlier. "Oh, no… Adeline!"

"Why can't I feel the presence of Adeline?" Theodore could feel that his connection to Adeline was already severed.
