Eleanor's p.o.v I looked at the open door seriously then composed myself and walked into the bedchamber. Ducan escorted me to the palace's entrance and went back after saying his goodbye. I felt nervous and I didn't know what to tell the demon king if he was to ask me where I went. When my eyes landed on him, I stopped walking and tensed. He sat on the bed with his robes slightly parted, revealing his chest. Although he didn't look upset, he didn't look happy either I lowered my gaze to the ground and waited for him to yell at me or order me to do something against my will. "Were you out for a walk?" He asked softly. I quickly looked up, surprised at his question and the tone of his voice. "Yes, I....I wanted to tour around the palace." I answered in a stammering voice. "Did anything catch your eye?" He asked seriously. I kept quiet for a few seconds, thinking hard on how to answer his question. "Yes, the flowers on the walls were quite unique." I answered then swallowed h
Ducan's p.o.vI heard it all in the throne room and I was now aware of what the female warrior wanted to do.Eleanor went back to our bedchamber after that and rested for the night.In the morning when she woke up, I was still in my other room where I had chosen to stay for hours. I couldn't stop thinking hard about everything.Was she going to betray me?. Yes. But would she betray my human side?. That I didn't know, that's why I wanted to see if she was going to tell me about the warrior or keep it a secret from me. If she truly had feelings for me as a human, then she wasn't going to keep me in the dark."Serve me." I whispered in a low tone as the twin dark fairies appeared."Prepare my wife for the day. We will be going somewhere together. Don't tell her anything and make sure to treat her gently." I ordered.They bowed to show their respect then disappeared.Since yesterday I felt low and uncomfortable. The last time I felt like that, something bad happened. It wasn't that seri
Ose's p.o.v I stood at the entrance to the kingdom with Oni beside me. Oni looked very focused and serious with his tight grip on his staff. When he reported to me over the hero's approach to our territory. I quickly rushed to the entrance expecting to find the generals ready, but they were nowhere to be seen. "Did you inform the generals?" I asked seriously. "Yes, I did." He answered calmly. I didn't understand why there was no one guarding the entrance!. They all knew their duties and how important it was to protect our kingdom!. What was so important that they could neglect their duties like this?. "Ose, even if they aren't here, we are. We can handle humans by ourselves." He said then looked at me seriously. "Of course, we pledged to protect our people and kingdom." I answered. The hero was hardly defeated because he was very strong and the gods seemed to favour him. Although he had no holy sword, he still had an anointed one, which was dipped in holy water. It was dange
Victor's p.o.vI was thrown into the dungeon like a bag of rice by the demon king as I groaned in pain.He glared at me then walked out without a word. I forced myself to sit upright and look around. The dungeon I was in was a little dark and it smelled very badly. I looked at myself and noticed that my hands were in chains that were linked to the wall."How the hell am I chained!. Is it magic he has used?" I asked myself silently then sighed heavily and pulled on the chains to see if they could break."Damn it." I whispered while trying again.It was a clear suicide mission coming here, but I had no choice because I wanted to see Eleanor no matter what. She was my best friend and the woman I loved. How could I sit by and act like a coward as I did back then when the demon lord took her away from me.For weeks I was haunted by what happened. Whenever I closed my eyes I saw her trying her best to defend herself from him. I blamed myself for not always being prepared and for being a s
Eleanor's p.o.vI quickly stood up from the bed when I heard loud footsteps approaching.I had no idea who it was but I was hoping it was Ducan.After helping me prepare, the demon fairies left without a word. I began counting numbers and letters while waiting for Ducan.He wasn't going to keep me waiting, that I knew, that's why I felt so calm and relaxed.The door opened and the demon king walked in and looked at me seriously.He stopped moving and clicked his tongue then went to the pool taking off his robe.I turned and faced the other side refusing to look at his naked body."I reek of human filth!" He spat furiously then groaned loudly.I slowly turned and looked at him with a frown. He stood with his back towards me, washing his face.Were his words directed to me?. I was the only human close to him and the only one who spent most of the time in his bedchamber."Disgusting." He muttered to himself as I felt my heart ache.I looked at myself sadly then raised my hand to sniff
Ducan's p.o.vI slowly rubbed my hand against her back, trying to calm her down as she cried in my arms.I had no idea why she was crying and claiming that something was wrong with her. I wanted to ask what she meant by that but first I needed her to stop crying.A few minutes ago I was very pissed at those two humans who had wounded Oni. Ose wanted to go after the hero. I could sense that, but I had to stop him because I could pick up some scents of more humans ahead. The hero wasn't alone, he was with some warriors and he wanted Ose to follow him just as he had planned. If Ose was to follow him, he could have ended up being killed.The hero was very skilled but also clever and tactful. Everything he did was well calculated and planned.I looked at her calmly then kissed her head gently.I was seriously in love with her, that's why I valued her life and treated her kindly. I could have easily killed her brother and her childhood friend but I didn't. I had to stop myself because I d
Zara's p.o.v "Bring him in." A female voice ordered. I looked at the demon fairy with a glare as she dragged me in a creepy looking bedchamber. The chain around my wrist was hurting each time she used force to pull it. A huge bed which was covered in dark sheets at the center came into view. On the far end to my right was a big pool that had red flower petals floating on top and a few bottles of oil were at the edge of the pool next to the folded robes. When I looked to my left, I raised a brow. A woman stood with her back towards us. She was looking at something which was on her desk. But just by looking at her back, I could guess that she was beautiful. She wasn't that tall, because she looked close to my height. Her curves were amazing through her transparent robe. She had firm buttocks and a small waist, her beautiful brunette hair fell on her back like silk. I really wanted to see her face badly. "Ancient one I have brought the slave." The demon fairy said, then forced
Eleanor's p.o.v"Go in." Ducan said at the entrance of the palace."Okay." I whispered then stood still staring at him seriously."Why wasn't he kissing me good night like he usually did." I asked myself silently.Most times when we were out, he kissed me on the way or at the entrance. It was risky but I was so used to it that I couldn't go but wait for him to do it. After all, we chatted all the way without him making a move on me."Eleanor, go in." He said again."Alright." I answered, then took a step forward and tip-toed, kissing his cheek lightly."Sleep well." I whispered then turned and walked to the bedchamber.Something was definitely wrong with him, I could sense it. Although we talked and discussed a few things on our way, he kept on staring at me as if something was on my face.He was acting a little different than usual. I guess he was shaken up by Oni being injured badly.When I reached the door to the bedchamber it opened by itself.I stood still for a minute looking at
