Outside the Castle
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Amanda looked around as she woke up. The room is still dimly lit and beside her, Dimitri is still snoring. There was no time for her to think about what happened last night, once she is out of this castle, she will have plenty of time to mull over things. Now, the first thing that she needs is a way to get out of the castle. She has discussed this with Harpy and Jessica the previous day. It is not rare for a maid to be seen walking through the castle at this hour.
Amanda slowly got out of bed, being careful not to wake Dimitri. She crept towards the double door and slowly opened one side. She did not close the door fully as she got out, then clicking on the door if she does will surely wake Dimitri up. She immediately made her way to the castle’s laundry room just beside the common bath. It took quite some time for Amanda to get there. She was evading patrols and some maids who were actually already up.
As soon as she slipped inside the laundry room, she immediat

“What do you mean you cannot find her?!” Dimitri is furious. Amanda was not beside him when he woke up so he thought that she had just gone to the bathroom. That was already 2 hours ago and he has since ordered the servants and even the guards to look all over the castle. They even searched through the inner and outer walls.“We have already searched every building in the inner and outer wall areas, My Lord,” the guard captain reported, “even the ruined buildings. We captured an unidentified human in the outer walls but we could not find the female.”“So what? She just went and disappeared after that?!” Dimitri bellowed. He could not help butfeel angry. He felt defeated. The girl was supposed to be his but then she left after spending anight with him. It made him feel like he was used and abandoned. It is the last thing that he wants to be.“Spread your search outside the castle.” Dimitri fi
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily A Friend's Concern
The Harpy is worried. She heard the Lord of the castle screaming earlier; giving out orders to the guards to look for the Human Sacrifice. He seems to be utterly enraged. The Harpy could not believe that the Pretty Human – her friend – actually thought of running away after the ritual was done. The Harpy shivered at the voice of her Lord but she is also concerned about her friend.She did not even expect this turn of events. She woke up that morning feeling excited because her friend has finally agreed to perform the ritual with the Lord. After that, the Pretty Human is sure to live in the castle and she will have more time to be with her. They could even perform tasks together. But as soon as she went to the chambers, she heard the rumors about the sacrifice escaping and Lord Dimitri’s sudden bellow.“Mama! Mama!” the Harpy exclaimed as soon as she entered the kitchen. There is only onethe person that she can run to when she is trou
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily A Traitorous Plot
“What is happening?” Alex asked as he entered Dimitri’s study, he already has an idea of what the issue is from the rumors of the guards, but he asked the question to announce his arrival. Dimitri just stared at him. By the look of fury on his face and the frantic running about of the guards and servants, Alex could figure out what actually happened: the girl has once again escaped, and after the ritual at that.“Hey, why go through all the trouble?” Alex said, trying to look calm and composed as he usually is, “Haven’t you done the ritual last night?”“The ritual was done successfully,” Dimitri replied in a low voice. As if he is trying to hidesomething more.“Then why all the trouble?” Alex replied as he looked around the study, “I mean, the ritual wassuccessful, that was only one girl and we have more that could do whatever you like. Besides, we will have another one nex
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily The First to Find Her
Amanda looked around the cottage. It was devoid of any human presence but it was not, in any way, empty. In the middle of the living room is a low center table made of Maplewood,surrounded by 3 3-seater upholstered couches. Piles of what seemed like glossy paper-bound tomes were on top and at the bottom of the center table. As she saw earlier, the windows were closed but the curtains were drawn to the side to give a view of the garden outside.Amanda took a few steps towards the living room and suddenly felt light-headed. It was as if she was transported to a different place- not, to a different time. She noticed a metallic cabinet against a wall on one side. Framed, small realistic portraits lined the top of the cabinet: Of people and places that seem familiar but also unknown to Amanda. She suddenly felt a warm and fuzzy feeling wrapping around her.As Amanda turned away from the photographs, she found herself in front of a stairway that leads to the second flo
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily The Unexpected Visitor
Alex felt something change in the air around him as soon as he entered the forest. It was the first time that he was this deep after a long time. Dimitri has since stopped hunting in the forest and without anyone to actually challenge him, Alex also decided to stop. But entering the forest was not really the reason for his sudden feeling. It was something else, something that springs from way back: When Alex and Dimitri were still young, and when they were still living in the village.“Dimi is going to the forest again,” one of the young village girls who admired Dimitri said as they gathered together, “What does he do there?”“I don’t know,” the other girl replied, “Why don’t we ask Alex? Alex goes to the forest with him as well, right?”“Alex! Alex!” the girls called out to Alex who is sitting by a large tree, “Come here!”“What is it? You are so noisy,” Alex
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Amanda's Trouble
The Harpy is bothered. She is relieved that Alex assured her that Amanda will not be punished. At least she knows that her friend is safe for now. What bothers her is the reason why Alex does not want her to tell anyone about it. On the surface, she is glad that Alex does not seem to plan on returning Amanda to the castle. She will not be punished by Dimitri yet. The problem is in the way that Amanda looked at the Harpy as she left. There was something about how Amanda looked that felt odd.The Harpy is torn about what to do. For starters, she needs to get to the castle as soon as she can. If there is any person who could tell her what to do, it would be no one else but the Centaur Cook. She is not sure about keeping it a secret from the Lord, but the Centaur cook could at least suggest ways to the Harpy how to deal with this issue.Not having to look for someone in the dense forest below, the Harpy saw the castle sooner than expected. She sped up even more and landed
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Betrayal
“It seems like you will not have to worry about food,” Alex said as he closed the window again and turned to face Amanda, “aren’t you a lucky one?”“Are you sure about that?” Amanda asked, still suspicious about Alex’s intentions.“About what?” Alex replied with a question, pretending not to know what Amanda meant.“Letting her go,” Amanda replied, trying to gauge how far Alex plans to take his ruse,“Keeping it a secret to your Lord.”“Oh?” Alex looked a bit surprised, “Have you grown concerned about my well-being now?”“Never,” Amanda replied coldly, “I am just not confident that she will be able to keep it a secret from her Lord,”“Doubting a friend, are we?” Alex replied mischievously. He tries to keep his cool but deep down he is already bothered by this unexpected turn of events. Having
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Demon King's Rescue
Alex got up and put his pants back on. He picked up Amanda’s nightdress and threw it towards the crumpled shape of Amanda who was on the bed. He could hear her sniffling, muffling a cry. For a moment, Alex felt guilty about what he did. It is true that he was attracted to Amanda and that he desired to have her. But what happened was driven mostly by the fact that they were alone, his high spirits after being alone with her in this isolated place, and the urgency that came because of Harpy’s discovery.If he had another chance, if Alex could turn back the time to 30 minutes ago, he would have chosen differently. But there is no use crying over spilled milk. Amanda might despise him now, but he will do everything to make her fall for him. He will take her away from this place and then he will have the rest of their lives to make up for this offense. At least that is what he thinks.“Put your dress on,” Alex said as he sat on the edge of the bed, &

Amanda woke up from the sound of the food trolley being wheeled in. Half expecting that it was the centaur that is bringing her breakfast in, Amanda jolted up as she realized that it was the Harpy. Her friend silently prepared the meal. She is trying not to meet Amanda’s gaze and is just putting all her attention into preparing their meal.Amanda took the breakfast with the Harpy silently. She understands how her friend feels and does not want to put her on the spot by asking her about the issue out of the blue.Amanda finished her meal and placed her tray on top of the trolley, making enough noise to get the attention of the Harpy who is eating at a distance. The Harpy jerked and looked at Amanda, she seemed to have finished eating before Amanda did but did not move an inch from where she is sitting down. Amanda and the Harpy looked at each other, trying to wait for whoever would give in and break the silence. Being the more mature between them, Amanda gave way an
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily A Hard Decision
There was an awkward silence. Amanda could not believe what she just heard. She did not expect Dimitri to feel that kind of insecurity. She thought that he was always sure of himself, that he always believed that people would choose to be with him no matter what. The unexpected gap in personality made Amanda’s heart skip a bit even for a little. Her face started to flush again.“So,” Dimitri continued, “If you had no choice but to choose between the two of us. Who will you choose?” Amanda could not answer. She could not even speak. She hates being put in a spot like this. She has always been asked this question even back in the village. The boys who liked her would all ask her to choose someone from them. But she knew that most of those were just superficial. She understood that not all of those boys liked her for who she really is, they only liked her because she was pretty.“As I said,” Amanda replied. “I could not choo
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily His and Her Concerns
Amanda opened her eyes and found herself in a different area of the forest. Apparently, Dimitri took a break and decided to rest somewhere. Amanda could not see him anywhere but he might be close, looking after her while she slept. At least he gives her some privacy to do so. Amanda looked around and realized that the area of the forest is quite familiar. In fact, it was too eerily familiar: it was the place by the lake, the area where she would go with her parents.“Amanda?” Amanda froze as she heard a familiar voice, one that she did not think she would hear again ever, “There you are, come here. What are you doing here?”“Mother?” Amanda is confused, the person standing in front of her is definitely her mother, and she is too real to be just a phantom, “What are you doing here mother? I thought you were”“What are you talking about, you silly,” Amanda’s mother continued to speak as she did back

Dimitri could not move. Just earlier, he saw the girl behind that tree watching them. But now it seems like she is gone; like she has just disappeared for no reason. Thinking that he just looked over at the wrong tree, he looked around – trying to find the tree where the girl is hiding. But no matter where he looks, there isn’t a single sign of the girl, at least not in any of the trees nearby.“What’s wrong?” Alex said as he noticed Dimitri’s troubled expression, “Call her out now and let her choose. Or should I do it?”“No,” Dimitri responded in a low voice, “She will not come out even if we called out to her,”“Why?” Alex asked, he starting to worry as well, “What happened.”“Nothing! Just,” Dimitri said and eased his pressure up, “Just don’t move from here.” As he said it, Dimitri got up and released his hold on Alex. Then he l

The Harpy has returned to the castle for the second time that morning. This time, the Centaur and the Lamia are waiting for her by the gate of the outer wall. The Harpy circled above for a bit and started to descend. She landed right in front of the Centaur cook who had an inquisitive look. The Lamia had the same look as well and the Harpy was immediately bombarded by questions.“Did you find her? Did Lord Dimitri and the girl meet? What did he tell you? Why did you return first? What happened in there?” the Centaur and the Maid’s voices were overlapping as they inquires without end.”“Mama! Snake Boss Lady!” the Harpy spoke with a loud voice as she tried to fend off the two, “Me not talk when Mama and Snake Boss Lady talk together!”“Oh! Oh dear,” the Centaur said as she realized her folly, “dear me. I am really sorry.”“I apologize for my rudeness as well,” The Lamia mai
