Ducan's p.o.v I walked into the throne room with Eleanor next to me. The generals all stood looking at us. Some seemed in shock while some looked calm. The ancient witch stood on the left side of my throne as usual and Ose on the right. As I approached them, they gave me a bow and then stood upright. "My wife will be joining this meeting, so shall we begin," I said when I sat on the throne. A few murmurs and gasps immediately broke out. "Eleanor," I called softly then extended my hand to her. There was only one throne and there were no chairs to sit on. The meeting was going to take hours unless one of the generals had a great plan and strategy. I didn't want her to stand because she was going to be tired. She hesitated but took my hand and moved closer. "Sit," I whispered softly. She looked at me with a deep frown and then glanced behind her. "I don't think they want me here." She whispered under her breath. I was sure everyone in the room had heard because we all had a s
Zara's p.o.v I stood glaring at Edith who was trying her best to ignore me. "Can you stop glaring at me?" She asked in a small voice. "No, if you feel uncomfortable then feel free to disappear from my sight," I answered coldly. "You are mean." She yelled. I was about to respond but held back when the sound of the door opening reached my ears. I quickly turned with a rapid beating heart waiting to see if it was the Mistress. When she walked in I smiled at her. "Edith, give us some privacy. I'll call you if I need something." She ordered when she stood a bit further away from me. "Okay," Edith whispered then disappeared. "Mistress, is something wrong?" I asked in concern. She looked at me from head to toe then walked past me without a word and went to sit behind her desk. I clenched my hands in fists and huffed silently. I couldn't figure out why I was being treated like this! She was acting mostly like Edith. It's as if I was invisible to them! Couldn't she see that I was c
Eleanor's p.o.v I looked at the sword in my hand and then at Ducan who was asleep on the bed. "You were tired huh," I whispered softly to him. It was shocking when he told me he wanted to sleep because he felt tired. I thought he never slept being that every time I woke up he was either not in bed or looking at me behind his desk. I stood up and touched my ponytail with my free hand while looking at my robe. Furthermore, I needed an outfit change immediately. Not only that, but I wanted something I could train and move freely in. "If I was to call the twin demon fairies as Ducan does, would they appear before me, or would another demon fairy answer to me?" I asked myself silently. "There was no harm in trying because now things were different," I answered myself then took a deep breath and released it. "Serve me," I said seriously. When the twin demon fairies appeared before me, I smiled happily. "My queen." They greeted me together with a bow. "I require an outfit I can tra
Eleanor's p.o.v "Put more strength into your fist Eleanor and your legs shouldn't be that wide apart!" Clair instructed loudly from afar as the ladies giggled softly. The kind Clair who seemed friendly and talkative was no longer present, she was replaced by a cold, serious, scary Clair. She wanted no imperfections and every time I made a mistake she gave me the death glare. Most ladies were unbothered by that but I was. "I'm doing my best," I muttered under my breath. I was feeling tired and thirsty, my muscles were aching because it had been so long since I had practiced. For two hours we had been training non-stop and the ladies were sweating badly. Unlike them, I was skilled with a weapon, not in arm-to-arm combat that's why I was struggling. "Here Eleanor." The lady opposite me who was my training opponent whispered then leaned forward and touched my thigh. "This leg should move slightly forward while the other one backward." She instructed. "Thank you," I whispered bac
Eleanor's p.o.v I watched seriously as Clair ran towards him with her sword raised high, when she reached where he was she struck, but Ducan moved at a quick pace standing behind her and hitting her back with the back of his sword. She stumbled but balanced and turned to look at him. "Again." He called out. She ran towards him and swung her sword at him. I widened my eyes in shock when he missed the sword by leaning backward. She raised the sword in a fast motion and swung it at him again immediately after he had stood upright. Ducan raised his sword in an instant, meeting hers. She glared at him then raised her sword again and thrust her hand forward. Ducan turned to his right in a quick motion and pointed the tip of his sword at her heart. "You would be dead right now." He said loudly. "Talk less." She screamed with a heavy breath then attacked him by jumping in mid air with a loud scream. Ducan raised his sword and it collided with hers. She landed on the ground and threw
Zara's p.o.v "No, that's impossible!" She exclaimed. I understood her reaction because no one in their right mind would easily accept it when I was ten years older than they had left me months ago. "It's me, Eleanor, you can ask me any question and I will truthfully answer," I said seriously. "You are not my brother and I won't stand here and have you manipulate me. Ducan, I don't want to be here." She said strongly as the demon king smirked. A minute ago he looked like he was getting upset, but now he was enjoying her denial. He wanted her to reject me, I could see it in his eyes. "Ancient witch, you heard my wife. She no longer wants to be here, so we will take our leave." He said, then linked his hand to hers. "Let's go, my heart." He whispered as I glared at him. "You hate the color pink and love the color black. You like singing while collecting herbs, and you are bad at acting. You rarely react whenever mother slaps you because you are rather used to her outbursts and tan
Victor's p.o.v I was silently counting numbers knowing today was the day I was going to be given food. I had no idea who or what brought me food and water in my cell. All I knew was that they had a kind heart because if a demon was in my position in the human territory they could have been slaughtered by now. If by chance they were still alive they would have been starved to death. But that wasn't my case. Everyday food appeared in my cell once a day with a glass of water. At first, I refused to eat thinking it was poisonous, but as days went on it became clear to me, either way, I was going to die, so I might as well try to eat. The food I was given looked rather disturbing because it was sticky soup mixed with a piece of bread, but once it was in my mouth it tasted a lot better. I quickly finished eating and drinking water with only one thing on my mind, my death. The whole night I waited for my death, but surprisingly I survived. When the food was brought in the next day I ate an
Ducan's p.o.v "Can I join you?' I asked Eleanor softly. She was bathing in the pool with her back towards me while I sat on the bed watching. "I swear I won't do a thing, I'll just look," I said then frowned and stood up when I felt someone's presence in the room. "You can bathe immediately after I finish." She answered. "Yeah, that sounds awesome," I said then looked around. "Whoever you are, meet me in the throne room right now," I whispered seriously. "What?" She asked. "Nothing my heart, I just want to step out for a few minutes. I will be back." I answered, then went out and walked to the throne room. Immediately I entered I found the two demon fairies standing near the throne. I went to my throne and sat down looking at them seriously. "What is so important that you had to come into my chamber without being summoned?" I asked. "Master." They called together and then gave a bow. "Speak! What is so important, is it the female warriors, did something happen to them?. Is
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
