“What is the matter, dear?” Felipe’s wife asked. She immediately prepared a soothing tea for him.
“Those people!” Felipe said while still slumped on the couch, “They suddenly turned their backs on me!” Felipe’s wife remained silent. She knew what people Felipe meant, she has known it for a long time and tried to support him despite everything. But she also knew that this has been a long time coming. She despised what Felipe does but she still cares for him, if he learns his lesson this way, then it would be for the better, she just has to support him while he goes through this.
“They said they believed in me!” Felipe continued, this time he is looking at his wife. Desperation can be s

Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Amanda's Concern
Amanda was silent the whole day after Alex left. She can’t get her mind off of what she learned about their past and about how they were driven off of their home because of humans. At least Dimitri’s aloofness and arrogance towards her are vindicated, but she is still not comfortable about it. After all, she may be human-like the people who cause their pain, but she is in no way involved with them. Amanda thought that it was time Dimitri realized that not all humans are like that.Amanda did not speak with her friend throughout lunch. A lot of things have been going around in her mind and she is still trying to analyze the connections between what happened to Dimitri and Alex’s past, the curse, and the harvest festival sacrifice. If it was not on Dimitri’s whim, then at least Amanda also wants to know whose idea it was to request young maidens every year for the “Demon King” just to keep the curse at bay. Besides, it was not like the curse
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily The Harpy's Suggestion
“Pretty Human, I bring food,” the Harpy announced as she entered the cell. “Yes, thank you,” Amanda replied blandly. She did not mean to sound that way but she is just too deep in thought. “I see Lord Alex, Lord Alex talk to Pretty Human again?” The Harpy asked, trying to start aconversation. “Yes,” Amanda gave a short reply and kept looking outside the cell. “Food ready,” The Harpy replied, looking at her friend, “Pretty Human eat” “Yes, thank you,” Amanda replied and practically dropped herself to her bed and took her share of the meal. “Food delicious,” the Harpy replied expecting a usual response from her friend, but she seems to really be out of it. She started to feel concerned. “Pretty Human lonely?” the Harpy asked as she can’t bear the silence anymore. “I’m fine, I’m just thinking about things,” Amanda replied blandly. She feels sorry for the harpy, she is just concerned about her friend but she just does n
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Amanda's New Plot
“Are you sure you know what you are doing?” the Lamia head maid asked the Harpy as sheapproached them for the tips, “I mean, I see what you mean about wanting to help the human make the Lord happy, but aren’t you too attached to that human? I’m afraid that she is just using you.”“Pretty Human me friend,” the Harpy replied with resolve, “Pretty Human said me, friend. Pretty Human kind and smart.”“I see,” the Lamia replied to prevent further arguments, “Just don’t say I did not warn you.”The Harpy was silent as the Lamia wrote down what she needs. The Lamia knows that the Harpy is just too young to know what humans really are.Being born in the castle, she had no chance to see the outside world and actually live alongside humans. She has never seen how humans discriminated against the beastmen and the other races that are not like theirs. She does not know that
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily The Art of Seduction
“Mama? And Snake Boss lady?” the Harpy asked, confused as to why they were the only people inside the otherwise busy kitchen at this time of the day.“If you are worried about the food, don’t be,” The Centaur Cook said as she realized the Harpy’s reaction, “we have already cooked earlier and you already have yours prepared. Now come, my dear, we have much to teach you.”“Are you sure that she will remember everything?” the Lamia asked, doubting the Harpy’smemory, “you know how easily she forgets and I believe this is for the sake of the Lordultimately,”“Not to worry,” the Centaur cook reassured as she pulled the Harpy closer, “the mind may forget, but the body will always remember.” Upon saying that, she immediately went down to business; teaching the Harpy about what was written in the notes not through words, but through actions.* * * * * *
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Alex's Feelings
“So, she has finally made up her mind, huh?” Alex said at lunch as he heard that Amanda asked to speak with Dimitri through the Harpy.“Apparently,” Dimitri replied, trying to sound disinterested, “She has made us wait for so long. It is about time that she did.”“Yes, I see what you mean,” Alex replied. He is afraid that he might have sounded too enthusiastic than necessary. He had always wanted for the ritual to push through, but he also started to feel some reluctance about it. “We need to prepare for your dinner then. And then for the ritual.”“Yes,” Dimitri replied, “Please arrange for our dinner and for the ritual later.”“I will do just that,” Alex said and pretended to act like normal, “And you prepare yourself too.Now if you’ll excuse me. I have a dinner to prepare.” Dimitri watched Alex leaving the dining room. He has known his
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Their First Night
Dimitri could not sit still. He has already taken his place at the head of the dining table and the grand feast is already laid out in front of him. But the girl is not yet in. She is still being prepared and taken to the dining room. His mind wandered to the night when they first met each other. He could not explain how he felt when she came in with the maids. Something stirred deep inside him since then and he could not understand what it was. He only had very few chances to see the girl afterward but he still tried to remember her face and imagine how she would look in a nightgown once again. Time seemed to stand still. Dimitri looked around and the attendants did not seem to be moving; even seemed to just be standing straight, staring into nothingness. Dimitri could almost hear his heart pounding. Dimitri pictured himself finally taking that irresistible girl in his arms. He has been made to wait for weeks, he will definitely mess her up tonight: The thought of h
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily The Dawn
“Do you understand what I mean now?” Amanda spoke in a different and more alluring voice as they broke from a deep kiss. Dimitri could only nod. It was indeed a different kiss that what he is used to. He did not think that a kiss could be that warm, that the tongue could be used that way; that it could this . . . good. Amanda smiled warmly at him and pulled him closer for another kiss. Using what she practiced with the harpy, Amanda deftly took off what remained of Dimitri’s upper clothes while kissing. Dimitri saw this as an opportunity and slid the thin shoulder straps of Amanda’s dress. Her smooth skin made it easier and because of the movement of their bodies, the silk dress slid off from Amanda’s body, exposing her chest and her abdomen.Amanda broke the kiss, looked at Dimitri, and stayed still for a moment. Through the dim lighting, Dimitri could see Amanda blushing from her face all through her upper chest. Even her ears were red. He coul
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Outside the Castle
Amanda 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

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
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Return to the Castle
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
Demon King: The Werewolf And The Lily Broken Bond's
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
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, &
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 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 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
