A prince, rumored to ba a Demon. He is the definition of Danger. He is the Darkness itself. A princess. Imprisoned in her own home, only to come out once she gets married. But married to who? Once upon a time, the Devil fell in love with one of the King's many wives. One night he went to her room disguised as her husband and made love to her. She got pregnant with his child. Knowing this The King ordered her execution believing his wife cheated on him, but then the Devil appeared to the king making him a deal. In exchange for great power for his Kingdom, the King will let his wife Sire The Devil's Child. The King who was greedy for power agrees to the deal and his Kingdom becomes one of the most powerful Kingdoms and the Devil's Child the seventh Prince of the Kingdom. Being a princess probably sounds nice. A life full of luxury, beautiful dresses and nice shoes but for Ava, there is nothing nice about being a princess. She can never go outside the palace, she can never have friends, she can never eat or say or wear whatever she wants and she can never choose the person she is going to marry. Soon she's getting married to a man she has never met, a prince rumored to be a Demon.
View MoreI laid in the bathtub filled with hot water, thinking about what the guards had said about me. I shouldn’t have slapped Lucian in front of his men. It was disrespectful, and still he hadn’t got angry with me. He was asleep when I came back to the room, so I asked a maid to prepare a hot bath for me. The hot water was soothing, relaxing my tense muscles until it felt like a massage and in a moment it made fall into a deep sleep.I woke up shifting in the bed. The soft satin sheets rubbed against my skin and I realized I was not wearing much. I quickly sat up on the bed and lifted the sheet up. I was only wearing a towel, my shoulders, legs and thighs were bare. It took me a moment to remember that I was taking a bath earlier and fell asleep and now I was here. How?A sound made me look to my left. Lucian was sitting in a chair, a glass of wine in his hands as he studied me with those extraordinary eyes. He was the only one who could have brought me here, which meant that he had seen me
Klara kept glancing Lucian's way as we ate our breakfast, while the King and Lucian spoke informally with each other, which surprised me. The King was willing to help Lucian as they were already speaking of how to win this war. I only feared he would ask for something in exchange. Something bad."You should stay here until the King dies, then we will take action," the King said. As if waiting for someone's death was a daily occurrence. "Rasmus? can you stop acting like a King at least until we eat our breakfast?" Klara asked.Rasmus, Klara, Astrid: their names sounded northern. "Of course" Rasmus smiled at his sister. "We have a party tonight. I hope you can attend after you have rested," he then said to me and Lucian. "Of course" Lucian replied. "Astrid, why don't you take them to a nice room. I am sure they would like to rest."I was so tired, but as I laid on the bed next to Lucian all I could do was ask questions. "You seem to know Rasmus pretty well," I began. "Yes," was a
We rode swiftly through the woods, leaving my father behind—disappointed that he had failed to make me stay."Are you sure you want to come with me?" Lucian had asked before we left. "Your life will be in danger."I had already made up my mind. I would rather live in danger than feel like a dead person. But that wasn’t the only reason I refused to stay—I wanted to be with Lucian.Now, as we slowed down, Lucian turned to me. "Feeling alright?""Yes, I’m fine. I think I’m getting used to it," I replied, feeling slightly exhilarated from the ride. "Where are we going?""To Gatrish," he said.I stiffened. Gatrish—a kingdom known for its wars, slavery, and prostitution. Its king was infamous, a cruel man with an insatiable thirst for blood and an even greater appetite for women. It was said he took a new wife and concubine every day, that liquor, parties, and debauchery were as much a part of his routine as breathing."Are you sure it’s a good idea to go there?" I asked, wary."I know thei
"Ah, the wounds? They healed," he said simply, pulling the robe over his shoulders."That's impossible! They can't heal that fast, and even if they did, they would leave scars," I argued, still trying to make sense of it all."Well, they healed, and they didn’t leave scars," he replied dismissively. "Now, your father is waiting. I need to get going."I stared at him as he walked into the bathroom, my mind racing. Not possible. That was all my brain kept telling me.After bathing, dressing up, and getting my hair done with the help of the maids, I made my way to the dining room. Lucian had already left—probably not wanting to keep my father waiting.As I opened the door and stepped inside, a heavy tension filled the room. Father sat at the head of the table, while Mother and Lucian sat across from each other along the sides.No one was eating.Lucian’s hands were clenched under the table, his jaw tight. Father's expression was stone-cold, filled with displeasure. Neither of them even n
We sat leaning against a tree after Lucian told his men that we should rest for a while. I knew he was doing it for me. "Where are we going?" I asked. "To Maebeth. To your family." He was going to ask my father to help in this war between brothers. "Will you really kill your brothers?" I asked carefully. "Yes" he said without hesitation. I shivered at the thought. "Even your nephews?" he clenched his jaw and closed his eyes, then opened them again."I won't have to kill them because my brothers will." Why? They are just kids. Why kill your family for the throne? That's something I could never understand. Standing up "we should continue" he said. We continued our journey, and I was thankful that Maebeth wasn't far away from Decresh, so we reached there at night, after riding the whole day. My three brothers were the ones to welcome us. They spoke mostly to Lucian, ignoring me totally. I wasn't expecting more; we were never close. Our family always separated men and women. While m
Lucian gazed down at Hazel as she blushed, and he couldn't help but bring his hand up and caress her pink cheek with his thumb. Heavens knew how much he wanted to lean down and kiss her. She was tempting him with this red dress and her bare neck and shoulders. He had been surprised and relieved that he hadn't forced himself on her last night when his demon was in control. Seems that his demon craves Hazel as much as he does the only difference is that his demon doesn't care about Hazel's feelings while Lucian does. "Are you alright? I heard that the king is unwell" she asked worried. He had almost forgotten the big problem he had to deal with when he saw her. "Hazel, I want you to pack some clothes, we will leave the castle". He didn't want for Hazel to stay another minute here. The king could die anytime and he knew that he would be the one to be attacked first, since his brothers hated him. Hazel looked confused at him "I will explain everything on the way" he said "now hurry!".O
I lay in the bathtub as Helen washed my hair after Lucian had left to let me sleep some more. I knew she wanted to ask something but didn't know if she should, so she was silent. "He kissed me," I said. Her eyes sparkled. "Really? Finally!" she said, "How did it feel?" "It felt..." I remembered when our lips touched the warmth that spread through my body and when our lips separated the emptiness and coldness that came with it. I wanted more, "It felt good," I said."But you just kissed nothing more?" she asked. "No," "Don't worry there will be more," she said. "Helen?" "Yes, my lady," "How does the first time feel?" I asked. She sensed that I was worried it would hurt and that I wouldn't like it. Just the thought of being naked in front of a man made my cheeks burn. "Don't worry. I am sure his highness will be gentle since he seems to care for you" she said reassuring me "trust me, no man would have waited so long for the woman to agree. He would have taken you whether you li
What just happened? Only a taste of her lips and he could feel his demon wanting to come out. He only felt like that when he was really angry, then his demon would come out to punish whoever enraged him. As time went he had learned to control his anger and keep the demon in check. It has been a long time since his demon wanted to come out so why now?Take her! She is yours. She belongs to you. The voice inside his head commanded. "Is something wrong?" Hazel asked confused as she walked closer to him."Don't come close!" he almost yelled wrapping his arms around his body. He could see hurt in her eyes but he didn't want to hurt her like the time he set his brother on fire. Everytime his demon wanted out he did bad things.Hazel turned around and started to walk away. She was probably angry which he could understand but how could he explain. He couldn't even go after her he needed to calm his demon down first.*******Tears filled my eyes as I walked away. It was my first kiss and he w
I sat on the bed waiting for Lucian to come after eating dinner without him yet another night. There were a lot of things we needed to talk about but I didn't want to fight with him again.Because that's what you think about me. You think I am a beast who beats and kills people then you would think that I can burn them as well right?His voice echoed in my head. I never thought of him as a beast I just thought that he was different. He looked hurt before walking out of the dining room as if he didn't want to see me again and I wondered if he really wouldn't come. Would I have to sleep alone again? I didn't even get the chance to thank him for bringing Helen and Isla.I decided not to sleep alone and go look for him. I looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Where could he be? "Do you know where I can find his highness?" I asked a guard. "He is in the barn, Your highness." I made my way to the barn where I found Lucian feeding his horse. It was dark inside and the only light came f
My entire life, I've been waiting for this day. I always knew that I was never going to marry whom I want to marry because I'm a woman and a princess, I have no right to choose whom I will marry. Hell no, I have no right at all. My opinion doesn't matter to anyone, not even my own family. Infact my father saw me as a tool to get more power and alliance. To get alliance with the kingdom of Verenthia (a very power kingdom) by marrying me to one of their prince. A princess life isn't like it seems. Yeah, a prince can marry for alliance but if he didn't like his wife, he can equally marry as many wives as he wants and many mistresses too. But the case of the princess is different, once you are married, you are married no going back. You have to endure seeing your husband get married to many other women when he eventually gets tired of you. You have no say and you have to be loyal to avoid being killed. My body boil in anger, why is the law unfair. Why do a prince have so much po...
