Eleanor's p.o.vI quickly moved and touched Victor's arm gently.He was breathing loudly and he was in so much pain, that I could tell.He wasn't going to live long if he was going to continue receiving such treatment!.I needed to find a way to protect him or at least try.I stood upright and wiped off my tears."Ducan." I called loudly.I had no idea if he would appear, but it was worth a try because he was the only one who cared about me.When a minute went by, I looked around."Ducan." I called, this time with emphasis."I'm here." He answered behind, startling me.I quickly turned and grabbed his hand."Please help him." I said seriously.He looked at Victor coldly then pulled his hand from my grip roughly."Eleanor, you seem to forget what my other form is. How do you expect me to help someone who almost killed my friend?" He asked coldly.He had no reason to help him that I knew and him being here showed how kind he was. But if he wasn't going to help me, then who was I going t
Victor's p.o.vI leaned against the wall and groaned loudly in pain.My head was badly aching and my mouth was filled with the scent of blood. The blow I had received was stronger than all blows I had endured in my past.What was surprising was how he held back. Although the hit was brutal, he wasn't using his full strength.Was he sparing my life because he was in love with Eleanor?.If that was the case then that explained why he healed my deep wounds despite looking at me like I was garbage.I looked at the open cell then at my hands seriously.If only I had something to break the chains, I could make a run for it and find Zara. Despite that brat being very annoying, he acted like he had a very good plan. If he had thought of how to escape, I needed to convince him to join hands with me.I sighed heavily when Eleanor's words repeated in my mind. When she confessed to loving the devil who had killed her father and who she swore to rip into pieces, I was in total shock. So much that
Zara's p.o.v I woke up with an aching body and a sore throat. The side of my neck was slightly hurting and my knee felt the same. "Where am I?" I asked myself silently then turned to face the other side. When I came face to face with a creepy head looking at me.I screamed loudly and moved backwards falling from the bed. The head was popping out of the mistress back while she slept!. It was terrifying and disgusting at the same time. It smirked as more of them popped out of her back with hands. I felt a shiver go through my body just by looking at them. I looked at the door ahead and noticed it was wide open, then back at her. She looked peaceful and in deep sleep. If I was to run away I would make it. But somehow it felt like a trap, how was the door left open when she knew I was in her bedchamber?. Also would the heads keep quiet or scream If I was to run to the door?. No, I still needed time to figure her out and what she was capable of before running away. I slowly got
Ducan's p.o.v "What exactly are you planning on doing with that male warrior?" Ose asked in my bedchamber. I was walking back and forth, trying to think over everything. I wanted him dead as soon as possible because I was scared of what he would tell Eleanor, at the same time I didn't want Eleanor to feel bad or cry over losing him. "Ducan, speak to me. For hours you have been acting strange. You called me here, at least talk to me." He exclaimed. I stopped moving and looked at him seriously. "Is there a way to get rid of that human bastard in the dungeon without killing him?" I asked seriously. He frowned deeply then moved to the bed and sat down. "Why not just kill him, why do you want to spare him?" He asked. "Because Eleanor likes him." I answered. "She likes that guy in what way?" He asked. "In a brotherly way, I guess." I answered. He brushed his hand through his hair then cleared his throat. "Forgive me for asking this great Maou, but are you holding back on killing
Ose's p.o.vI walked into my bedchamber then went straight to my desk ignoring Clair completely.She stood up from the bed and walked to where I was, wrapping her arms around my waist."For a second I thought you were someone else, if not for a few scales showing on your neck I would have screamed out or attacked you." She said softly."What are you doing?" I asked seriously when I turned to face her."I would like to ask you a similar question. Why are you hiding your demon form?" She asked.After taking that brat to the ancient witch, I chose to be in my human form because I thought I could bump into Eleanor in my original form."It's none of your business." I answered coldly then moved to the chair and sat down."Are you upset with me?" She asked in a low tone.How stupid was she?. Yes I was, one of the fairies reported to me that she had met Eleanor in secret. Although she didn't tell me what they were talking about, I had an idea, she was definitely trying to convince her to esca
Iris's p.o.v "He's quite troublesome," I whispered as I sat behind my desk. This was the second time that the brat was passing out in shock and fear. How was he so brave when speaking but a coward in front of something that shocked him? "Master, is it the right decision to pick him as your slave," Edith whispered behind me. Edith was a lost soul that refused to seek the afterlife. I had no idea what her regret was or what her unfulfilled wish was. All I knew was that she had always been with me for a very long time. At first, she was just observing me from afar in fear of me destroying her, but with time she began getting close to me, and before I knew it, we were talking to each other. The fact that she was a female made me feel calm and peaceful around her, so I took her in and treated her as part of my family. Throughout our years together, there was never a day she had asked me for a favor or for me to present a new body to her. Because of that, I realized how selfless she wa
Clair's p.o.v Ose stood looking at me in silence. A few minutes had gone by after the kiss, and he still looked more shocked than I was. I was desperate to know how he felt because his facial expression wasn't good. He looked pale and conflicted. Was it because he had kissed me who he claimed I was disgusting? I wondered to myself. For a second I was stunned by his actions but later gave in because I liked him. It was my first time being kissed by a man, be it a demon or not. It wasn't for a long time, but it made my heart race and my body shiver in response. He cleared his throat and then brushed his hand through his hair as I waited for his apology. He definitely was going to apologize for making a move on me because he made it clear how he felt about me and my race. It was painful when he yelled at me back then that I couldn't hold back my tears. I knew demons were harsh with their words, but he was the only one I didn't want to hear such words from. "Let's go back, you wil
Bright's p.o.v I walked to the training field and stood from afar watching the warriors chatting while others were laughing. For the past few days, I had been gathering information from afar. I also watched how they trained. Because I had nowhere to stay in the capital, I slept in the street and spent most of my time there. My family was in the village, and they weren't that rich to have connections with those in the capital. That's why I didn't want to bother them. If I was to talk to the demon king, he would grant me a lot of riches, but that's not what I wanted to do. He had given me a body and a second chance to relive my life even if it was just for a year, that alone meant so much to me. "Hey, did you find some maids to take care of us?" The huge warrior asked the slim one. The huge guy I recognized because he was usually with the hero, and he loved training. He was the second strongest in the capital and everyone feared him. He hated disrespect as much as he hated weak p
Eleanor's p.o.v "No running in the passage!" I said loudly to my kids. They giggled and ran ahead completely ignoring me. "They sure are stubborn," Iris whispered. "Yes, they really are," I answered with a smile. My son who was the oldest (eight years old) looked very much like his father. He also had two forms, one a dragon and the other one human. He was mostly with his father because he loved magic and learning new things. My young daughter who was five years old was an angel. She was usually quiet, and she was very skilled in archery. At first, I was very concerned about that, but Iris assured me that most demons began training at a very young age. I felt confused because there was never a day she showed her demon form, so I had assumed she was only human but Iris was so sure she too had a demon form. According to her, her powers would show any year or day, so I paid no attention to that because the most important thing was that I loved them no matter what. "So my son is rea
(Ten years later) Clair's p.o.v "General," Charity called, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yes," I answered calmly. "The queen has agreed to your request, and I was sent to report to you directly." She said in my office. "Thank you, captain, that's great news," I answered with a smile then looked at the future plans I had written in the scrolls on the desk. Life wasn't the same after ten years had gone by. Everything was different for us. When we decided to go back home, it wasn't because we missed our land. It was because we wanted to say goodbye to the ones we cared for and loved. Those were our siblings and parents. The other thing we wanted to do was to overthrow and kill the priests and elders that were against the demon kingdom and that's exactly what we did. The humans hated the demons and that was because of them. Every chance they had they poisoned our minds. As long as we would have stayed in the demon kingdom nothing would have changed, so we decided to go back. The
Oni's p.o.v "Me," Zara answered as I gasped loudly. Iris looked at him in disbelief. Her grasp on her staff tightened. "It was nice being a part of this beautiful kingdom. Its power, people, and everything were beyond what my mind imagined. You demon king you were kind enough to not kill us all, and I found love with one of the most powerful women in all territories. As much as I would love to stay, I can't. My parents aren't getting any younger and I never said goodbye to them, so they must be depressed over my disappearance. Also, I am the next chief in line because I'm their only male child. If I wasn't, I would have gladly stayed. Sadly I can't turn a blind eye to my people, not after all that I have learned." He said seriously. "In that case, come closer," Master said as Zara slowly did. Master raised his hand and pressed it on his head. I watched as Zara slowly began to revert to his previous young self. When he looked at his hands he quickly looked at Iris who lowered her
Oni's p.o.v We all stood looking at the burning bodies of the dead warriors quietly. It was so sad for us all to say goodbye because they were our friends. I held Charity's hand and glanced at her to see if she was okay. Since Ose's words that day, I was very considerate towards her. That day I rushed back to hug her and tell her how happy I was that she was alive, was the day we got closer. At first, she froze looking at me seriously before breaking down like a baby. I never knew simple words would mean so much. I moved and embraced her without a word. We didn't need to talk in that moment of bliss. Since then, we were acting like lovers, and it was because we both had this understanding between us, and we were very fond of each other. My only wish and hope were that we would soon fall in love with each other and be together for as long as we can. "All the warriors and generals report to me in the throne room at once." My master said loudly then disappeared with the queen from
Ose's p.o.v"You are safe now, you can all go back," I said happily to the elderly who were at the entrance of the maze.Luckily they were all safe and protected well.The grounds were clean from blood because of a spell Iris had cast and everything was back to normal.We had lost a few of our warriors and most of the creatures, which was sad.The ritual to help them (the dead) cross to the afterlife was going to be held by Ducan in the next two days, for now, we didn't want to disturb him. Iris, Oni, and I were overlooking everything and for hours we couldn't rest or see our lovers."Are you done with what you are doing?" Iris asked behind me.I turned and looked at her with a wide smile."Yes," I answered, then took a step closer."I still can't believe how easy it was for us to win the war," I said softly.She laughed then moved her hand to my shoulder."It was easy because we were united and had each other's back." She answered."Yeah, you are right. Are you done with what you wer
Eleanor's p.o.v"Stop it, that's dirty," I whispered in a labored breath.I was leaning against my elbows looking down on Ducan between my parted legs with sweat running down my forehead."What's dirty? You mean this?" He asked, then thrust his tongue into my wetness roughly.I threw my head back and screamed out his name in a voice that was unlike my own.What was this sensation I was feeling, it was new to me, yet it made me excited.His tongue was slightly painful, yet it was giving me so much pleasure. I wanted him to keep doing that, so he could satisfy this growing need I was feeling."My heart, you don't want me to stop do you?." He asked huskily.I bit my lower lip refusing to answer him. It was embarrassing to voice out my true thoughts.I was a virgin, yet I was acting like some indecent lady who had experience in doing this."What if he loses his interest in knowing that I did want him to continue?". That thought was making me uncomfortable.I sighed heavily, hearing the so
Eleanor's p.o.v The V formation was brilliant because the human warriors were trapped between the demon warriors, the generals, warriors, and creatures. I stood next to Iris watching everyone fight because I couldn't move. I wanted to help out in any way, but she couldn't let me. My feet were stuck to the ground by her binding spell and she looked relieved over that. Her defense was that she was only doing her job by keeping me safe. At first, I was furious with her and I kept on screaming at her for quite some time. But when she completely ignored me I gave up and decided to just stay put. I smiled when my gaze went to the female warriors who had formed a straight line fighting the male warriors seriously. Behind them were the generals covering their backs and making sure they were safe Ose was using his demon form, the gigantic python that was fast in striking down the human warriors with its tail. Each blow he made was fatal and deadly to them. I looked at Oni and noticed that
Hero's p.o.v I quickly got off the horse in shock looking at the lifeless, headless bodies on the ground. In front of me was a pool of blood of the village warriors. Richie stood with his hand wrapped around his waist like he was in pain. I angrily matched where he was and grabbed him by the neck. "Who did this!" I asked at the top of my voice. He coughed then dropped his sword and grabbed my hand removing it from his neck. "That stupid whore did this!" He answered furiously. This was the first time I was hearing him curse right in front of me. He was very angry that I could see. "Are you telling me that only one woman did all this to our warriors?" I asked in disbelief. "Yes sir. It is hard to believe, but it was a woman. Not only was she strong, but she also used dark magic." He reported. I tightened my grip on my sword and then patted his shoulder with my free hand. "I don't care how strong she is, I'm taking her down," I whispered then walked ahead leaving him in JD's ca
Iris's p.o.v I stood with Zara next to me right on the road that led to the palace, waiting for the human warriors to come into view. My job was simple, to protect the blessed maiden as my master had asked me to, but that didn't mean I couldn't destroy the first group of warriors. I felt stronger than I had ever been. My master was against the idea of me standing on the road because he didn't want anything harmful to come my way. I had to beg to finally have his approval. The creatures of the dark were outside the kingdom hiding in the trees and woods waiting to be summoned by me to attack the human warriors. What I first wanted was to have all the warriors come forth. After that, the creatures would go and stand at the entrance to take down any human warrior who would try to retreat from our kingdom. I closed my eyes feeling the vibration of the ground. They were approaching by horse, not foot, but the vibration wasn't strong which meant the warriors weren't all that. "Get read
