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 I yawned and blinked a few times before opening my eyes. My body felt relaxed and well-rested. This was the first time I felt like this since coming to the demon territory. I was about to sit upright when a hand pushed me down. "Rest more." Ducan's voice came from behind me. I quickly turned and came face to face with the demon king. "You need to rest more." He said as I frowned deeply and then sat upright. Was I still sleepy or was my mind hazy? I definitely was, because for a second I had heard Ducan's voice. "Are you upset because my arm was around you?" He asked softly. I glanced at him and saw that he was smiling at me. "No, but I prefer not to be touched," I answered then moved to the edge of the bed. "Eleanor, do you know a general by the name of Ducan?" He asked as my heart picked up. My throat instantly got dry and my body tensed. What?. Why was he asking me about him, did he find out about us? Fear washed through me as I tried to act calm. "No,"
Eleanor's p.o.vImmediately the demon king walked out of the room, and the demon fairies disappeared.I quickly stood up from the bed and went straight to the dungeon.I watched my every step as I approached Victor's cell which surprisingly was still open.When I walked in he quickly looked at me."Eleanor." He called in a low tone that sounded as if he was in disbelief."I came to check up on you," I said softly then moved closer and stood in front of him.He smiled and then moved his hand towards me. I looked at it and then hesitated before taking it."I thought I wasn't going to see you any time soon after what happened." He whispered.Well, I wasn't mad at him in any way, I just didn't like his confession."As I said, I just came to check up on you," I answered then tried to pull my hand away when he tightened his grip."Eleanor, I know you disliked my confession. It was rushed, and I didn't think through how you would feel about it. All I thought was that I was going to die and t
Ducan's p.o.vThe truth was my only way out. I badly wanted to laugh with her and then pretend to be upset with her over her words, but that would be unfair to her. She was the woman I loved and respected, keeping her in the dark wasn't an option anymore.Just as Ose said, dragging this and pretending not to be the demon king was a bad thing to do, It would only end up hurting her badly. I was scared of her hating me, but at the same time, I wanted her to accept me fully."Ducan, your joke is going far." She said seriously as my heart picked up.I had asked the twin demon fairies to report to me whatever they would hear or see happen between the male warrior and Eleanor, and they did their job well. I knew she had gone to the dungeon because of them and I heard their conversation through their ears. Likewise, I wanted to interfere but I chose not to because I felt it was the right decision to do. Not only that, but I wanted her to find out the truth."I'm sorry Eleanor, but I'm not jo
Eleanor's p.o.v I walked to Victor's cell with tears blurring my vision. I didn't care if I would fall or not, all I knew was that I wanted nothing to do with Ducan, not even to look at him. When I stood at the entrance of the cell, Victor quickly stood up and faced me. "Eleanor." He whispered softly and tried to move forward but the chains stopped him. "What did he do, did he hurt you!" He screamed furiously. "No," I whispered huskily then moved closer and stood in front of him. "Then what did he do to you!. Eleanor, you rarely cry!" He exclaimed. "He..he told me the truth." I said then cried loudly. He sighed heavily and pulled me into his embrace. "See, I told you so. He was only using you all this time. He never truly loved you. If he did, he would have told you the truth way before I exposed him." He said as I sobbed. My heart was badly hurting and I didn't want to be in the demon territory anymore. "I want to go home," I whispered. "We will, I promise. No matter what
Iris's p.o.v "Mistress, I have been kneeling down naked for hours. Please show mercy and allow me to stand." My slave pleaded. "Sure, you are allowed to, but first hear me out," I said softly. "Okay." He answered. I stood up from my chair and touched his chin, forcing him to look up and meet my eyes. "Zara, for a slave you sure are disrespectful. You ran away after trying to choke me to death." I pointed out. "But Mistress, weren't you the one asking me to do it even harder?" He asked as I smirked. He really was a smart man. His words would have been a waste on his small body and young age. I was glad I had given him the potion. "Even if you say that, I won't overlook the fact that your intentions weren't for giving me pleasure but to harm me," I answered. "I'm sorry Mistress, it's just that I was furious with you. But after some deep thought, I decided to come back because you are generous and kind. If you wanted, you could have killed me the first you met me." He said as I b
Ose's p.o.v I stood outside Ducan's bed-chamber feeling sad. I didn't know if it was a good idea to check up on him or not. Judging by the surrounding air, he was beyond angry. It was getting hard for me to breathe properly and that only happened when his emotions were out of place and uncontrollable. When I heard a loud rumble that shook the palace, I quickly ran inside. He was kneeling on the ground on fours with his robe torn. Scales were showing on his back and his skin color was black. I quickly ran to his side and knelt down. When he looked at me, I was filled with fear. His horns had grown larger and his eyes were now red with a darker shade in his pupils. He was turning into his last demon form and that was a dragon. He was definitely going to burn down everything out of anger if not stopped in time. "I talked to her, she understands what you did. She's just upset and needs time to think things through." I said loudly. "She did?" He asked in a low growl. "Yes," I an
