When Belle woke up the next day, she was quickly greeted with the sight of Leon standing in front of her room. Her brows creased into an immediate frown. She tried to ignore his existence but except for the nighttime, Leon would constantly be beside her.

Such a waste of a handsome face, thought Belle angrily.

Stepping outside her room, she heard the faint chuckle slipping from his lips. Her eyes sharply stared at him timidly.

“What is it?” She questioned.

“I was wondering if you decide to spend the rest of your life inside that room.” Leon licked his lower lips, his grin widening, “I would have eaten you before that happen, however.”

Belle gulped when she noticed his jester tone had dropped.

She could only imagine it would be the work of someone who truly detested the relationship between her sister and her fiancé.But who would that be?Her sister was a kind and angelic soul. She would help others around her and never once kept her smile down. Even once when a person had publicly ashamed her name, she forgave the person wholeheartedly, never once reminding the person of their guilt.Sometimes she was even too kind for Belle but that was also a point Belle throughly admired. Someone that kind, who would hate them? She would say no one but she wasn’t naive. She knew one could be hated to their core even when they had done

    Hearing the word demon, Belle froze. He looked back to see Leon. His wide smile told her the bad situation that were to happen to them.“Here is the inn,” the man stopped by a large house that were quite silent. As most people avoided the land, the place appeared to be dreary and the inn was no different.Although the inn itself looked like a castle, the surrounding made it appeared less luxurious than it sounded.“Thank you,” Belle expressed. The man was about to leave when she raised her voice, “If it is alright, can I ask one thing?”“Sure go on, miss,” the man offered.“If you have seen some people worshipping that place, have you ever seen a tall blonde girl with bright blue eyes ever visiting the place? Maybe occasionally,” Belle added. It seemed to her that Rachel h

    Belle saw the way his finger moved over her neck. She thought Leon was about to touch her nerves, sending her shivers but the warmth of his breaths against her ears sent her heart to palpitate faster than the racing horses. She couldn’t describe the reason why or why her heart had became noisier than Leon’s voice.But she was once again warned of how potent Leon was to her. This demon, he could seduce her make her feeling all kind of emotions and at the same time scare her with his flippant attitude where one change on his emotions— if she let his interest on her disappear— he would have no hesitation to devour her down to her bone.The thought made Belle bite her lower lips. Leon, on the other hand, watched her like how a predator learning its prey’s reaction. His grin widening.“Move,&rd

They had entered a dark space deep under the ground that she never thought would have caved in.Leon looked around the place, seeing the ground that was far bellow them it would have normally killed the humans who fell from such heights but unfortunately for the demons who wanted to kill him, it wasn’t the height enough to finish him off.Like a cat, he nimbly jumped down to the ground, sweeping Belle on his hands, covering her and picking her to his firm arms without a single shake.Belle continued to bury herself on his chest, feeling her heart exploding in fear.“I do think I have the most comfortable chest in the land and

Fortunately, her body was pressed on Leon’s muscular chest that gave her enough comfort to slowly grasp her surroundings.“This is under all those floors?” Belle questioned, her throat was dry as though she had stepped into a blazing hot pot. “Are those, humans?” Considering how Leon appeared with a face of a human, she couldn’t be sure those hundreds of people across her were humans like her.“They are humans,” Leon responded with a calm voice. He pulled her closer when sensing the appearance a black smoke that appeared not too far from them.Bell

    Leon was at the most ease inside the room compared to Belle whose heart fell from its place while Agares was in verge of exploding, being on edge after the arrival of Leon to his land.Belle tugged the back of Leon’s shirt. She couldn’t heard it wrong. She knew what she had heard. “You are the heir?” She asked him. The heir of hell? The crown prince of Hell?“Who I am is less important, don’t you think?” Leon questioned her in response, “With or without that title I am who I am.”Belle gulped and seeing this his chuckle turn darker, “Are you more afraid of me now after knowing that I am Hell’s prince?”Belle bite her lips. How could she not?! She had been scared of him knowing he was a demon but she never expected him as the prince of hell?!

She wanted to stop Leon but then again, she couldn’t control him. Even with the contract she has on him, she wasn’t sure whether it was her who held the leash on his neck or him who had collared her.“Please,” Belle whispered, it was the only action she could take now. Those people might have enjoyed watching others dying but Belle didn’t have that kind of twisted hobby.Leon hummed as though he was thinking what he should do, “How about you doing me a favor later? I might think about releasing them safely if you agree.”Belle narrowed her eyes. Now. Was this his objective? Was this why he had showed her those humans devour by the monster?

    As she settled her hand on Gorgolta’s hands, the man instructed, “Imagine the face of the person. You’re doing great.” Belle’s closed eyes moved slowly as she avoided the bad memory and sight of her bloody sister, only focusing on the man’s face that stood behind Damian. She tried to make it clear but alas, his eyes were blackened in her memory. But even though she couldn’t see the man’s eyes, she was certain she had seen every part of the man’s face, starting from his hair down to his neck. Leon looked at the drawing that Gorgolta had sketched instantly. The charcoal shades left dusts over the parchment but the drawing that started from a line slowly formed a face of a person. Meanwhile, back at her home in that afternoon, Damian who woke up felt a sudden itch from his wound that was given by the strange old woman he had seen two days ago. He felt his throat parched and pushed himself from his coach only to feel dizziness hitting his head and his bod losing balance to the poi

    Belle followed right behind Leon, finding the two elderly men had quickly jump on their feet and looked behind as if trying to find another way to escape. Leon sighed, bringing the boy in front of him that stopped the two men at once.“Wait! Wait! Don’t harm him!” Shouted the first man whose hair had turned all gray. While the man beside him who looked less older also stopped and raised his hand to show he won’t escape again.“We can talk about this. Release that child,” said the second man.“When did I say I would harm this little one?” Leon scoffed. “Which one of you is Gorgolta?”A faint sigh could be heard from the second man’s mouth as he stepped forward, raising his hand, “That would be me. If you’re business if with me—”“He won’t harm this boy,” Belle cut in. Gathering the two’s attention that looked surprised seeing her face, more startled when he saw her eyes were blue instead of red. She noticed this and offered them a smile to break the tension in the room. “We only wish

    “We should go now,” said Leon, offering his hand for her to touch.“I do know his face but I can’t describe it for you well enough,” Belle started, looking at him who was smiling, “Do you have an idea?”“Of course I do,” Leon closed his eyes which she followed before feeling a pull that shake her body that happened in a second. As she opened her eyes again the next second, she found herself in a different space. They were standing in front of a pub where men and women gathered but with most of them ignoring their presence, as though Leon’s presence matter so less to their eyes.“Where are we?” She asked, looking around again at the place they had stood at.“The slum of Hell, where only those who are born from the lowest type of demons come,” he pulled her hand, holding her tight. “In here they would sell anything, even the people they just met in exchange for their livelihood. Don’t stray away from me.”Belle noticed the eyes that watched her after a while. It wasn’t that they hadn’t

    Helios frowned, trying to remember Belle’s face but couldn’t as he didn’t put much thought in remembering the person whom he was set to kill. As there would be no use in remembering the person’s face and name when they would die in the next second. “I don’t remember,” brushed Helios aside, thinking that there was no use in remembering the woman's face again. “I thought Leon would become more obedient now, seeing how he had kept quiet for the few decades. But I could see now how he’s slowly rebelling like what he did in the past. He never learned from his mistakes.”Rachel crooked her eyebrows, folding her hand underneath her bust, “So you’re saying that he brought a witch, is that correct? Can it be the soul of the witch whom you asked for him to bring?”Helios scoffed, as if refusing her words, “He should be done with it by now. I asked him and he told me the soul is already in his possession. If that’s true, the witch must’ve been long dead by now. If everything went to the plan th

    Belle stayed beside Leon until morning, carefully watching his wound and making sure he was at the most comfort. She found out that truly there was no medicine from the side effect he suffered due to breaking the contract.By morning, the blackness that appeared on his arm had disappeared which took around eight to ten hours.“It’s better now, you don’t have to look at it that way,” Leon chuckled seeing how her blue eyes carefully studying his arm.“Is this really the only side effect?” Belle asked him only to see him smile.“My brother could have killed me but I guess he thought it would be a shame since I haven’t finished what he told me to do,” Leon moved his finger, frowning a little that made her worried.Deep down she had the urge to question what Helios had ordered him to do but couldn’t knowing how it would only trigger the same wound to appear again on him. She didn’t want him to suffer from the pain or to have being at unease as he didn’t want to lie to her.“Don’t worry ho

    Leon looked at her face, noticing the pain that hurt his heart. He quickly shook his head, holding both her hand gently as a way to reassure her.“No. I do not have a lover,” he responded firmly. “In the past there was indeed someone who I fall in love for. But it was only an attraction.”“But the masked man told me,” she whispered. “It’s a doll,” Leon answered to her. “They don’t know feelings or emotions but perhaps to their mind they associate friendship as lover.”Belle trusted him and nodded but she wondered how the doll didn’t have feelings or emotions as she saw it by her eyes how the doll would risk itself to protect her.“And who is that person?” She carefully questioned, “The one who you fell for.”Feeling Leon’s red eyes studying her, she quickly waved her hand, “It’s not what you’re thinking. I know that it’s been a long time and I’m not asking because I want to put you to the corner. I was just curious.”“I know,” Leon chuckled. He rested his head on the head rest which

    Belle was shocked seeing how Helios pulled out his sword, ready to cut down the servant who had used his life as a shield to protect her. Not wanting him to get attacked, she closed her eyes, wrecking her mind to remember the magic spells she had seen from the books she read. She then remembered one magic and squeezed out a whisper that was difficult for her to say, “A Le’el.”Helios was unprepared for the bright light that suddenly appeared from the woman whom he thought was a human. He didn’t have enough time to close his eyes and grunt as he suffered from a bright light that stab his red eyes sharply. Although he couldn’t see, Helios turn angered. The woman whose face he didn’t see well had harmed him. “You’re a witch,” he said, and Belle could hear bell tolling in the back of her mind. She could feel more rage radiating off his words after finding out she’s a witch.Just before Helios would attack Belle, Leon appeared in front of him. His hand quickly placed itself on his elde

    The stuffiness that she felt made her tongue tied. Belle fiddled with her hands while the masked man’s gestures turn flustered as he couldn’t comfort nor take back the words he had wrote. He knew the only reason why Leon had brought Belle here was because they had fallen in love for each other. To Leon his castle was similar to his heart. Only a few people could be let to enter his castle and not even his brothers were let invited.And that explain everything of Belle’s presence in the castle.Worried, the masked man wrote quickly, “But lady, that is what happened in the past. By past I mean, hundred of years ago. Lord Leon now looks back at it as simply a past memory.”Maybe, thought Belle silently. But it could be true that Leon’s love stays for centuries that he couldn’t forget his past lover. Belle quickly shook her head, reminding herself that this was only her thoughts and nothing has been confirmed. She needed to talk with Leon and made sure the fact before falling into the r

    Looking inside the room it was indeed snow that had turned the room icy and white. Belle reached out her hand as she was hesitant to step in. Feelings the snowdrops on her fingers which disappeared on her touch, she made certain that it was a real snow.“How could there be snow?” Belle whispered her question aloud, finding the masked man quickly pulling the glass quill and the pile of parchment. This time instead of talking he had drawn an easier figure of a book and a human. On the human’s hand was a magic wand.“Magic?” She questioned. “So… Leon could do things like these as well…”The masked man shook his head and wrote, “Not the lord, but a close friend of his.”Belle stepped into the room that was small in size, as though it was built simply to showcase the snowflakes that drops from the ceiling of the room. There she found the crown that was hidden inside a glass case.“But why the snow?” Belle questioned, seeing the masked man’s parchment paper turn slightly wet as the snowdrop
