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.

    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

    Ducan's p.o.v"Master," Iris called while she approached me."What, did I tell you to come in?" I answered in a low husky voice."I'm sorry I didn't knock. I am here to treat you." She said.I came out of the pool and walked to the wardrobe ignoring her.I didn't want to talk to anyone as of now. Ose was the only exception.When he told me he was going to call her, I said okay because I didn't want him to worry too much about me.I grabbed a robe and put it on slowly with a heavy sigh.I felt weak, pathetic, angry, hurt, and sad. This was the second time I was feeling like this since my parents' death."I have brought you a portion that can calm you down and relax your mind. You won't forget anything, but your heart won't hurt as much as it should." She said.That portion wasn't supposed to be given to me. It was supposed to be given to Eleanor.I was sure she was still going through a hard time right now."I don't need it. If you really want to help me in any way, then take good care

    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
