Chapter 4-His Bride
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56She was so lost in her world which made her fail to notice a shadow behind her. Her mood was a bit damp, mostly because of her mother's eagerness to get her married and the other being that she can't get the silver-haired man or better still the king away from her mind.
"And who is the lucky man capable of stealing your heart, Lady Penny?" A soft voice whispered behind her which made her gasp in shock.
"Eloise!" Whimpered Penelope annoyingly.
Eloise's lips broke into a huge smile and in the process decided to sit beside her closest friend.
"Is that how to welcome back your only friend," said Eloise with a little bit of annoyance in her voice.
"I'm sorry my queen!" Penelope responded and stood up to give her a bow.
"That's more like it!" Eloise responded with a huge smile on her face.
A smile made its way to Penelope's lips, she walked towards Eloise, trapping her in her arms. "I've missed you so much.""I know."
The only person who she truly regarded as her sister, the only person who will always be there for her, stand up for her, and made sure she was safe. That person is Eloise and nobody else. Maybe, that's why she has felt so lonely due to Eloise leaving for the past five months to visit her grandparents.
"Geez! I almost forgot," Eloise gasped, disengaging from the hug.
"What will that be?"
"The king, he is coming to our village this afternoon."
"The king?" Penelope whimpered softly, she could hear the loud beating of her heart against her ribcage. The touch of his fingers on her body was still driving her crazy and insane but then the question would be, 'why is the king coming to the village and not any other village but hers?"
"Rumors had it that, a girl caught the king's attention at the ball the other evening. So, he is here to bring her to his palace. What a beautiful love story! Don't you think so, Penny?" asked Eloise, completely unaware of her friend's dilemma.
Penny closed her eyes, trying to calm her beating heart. She couldn't help but pray deeply that the rumors weren't true. Even if it were true, she could only hope that the king wouldn't come to the village for her. Unfortunately, not all wishes do come true.
"Are you okay?" Eloise asked worriedly, noticing her friend's baffled expression.
"Eloise, the king...."
"Yes, the king. Is anything wrong with him?"
"He..."
Irene walked into Penny's room interrupting her conversation with Eloise. Eloise had a smile on her face when she saw Irene, that would be because Penny promised not to tell a soul about what was going On between her and her sister. It was a way of her keeping her family...happy?
"Momma wants both of you out right now! The King is here!" Irene stated with a huge smile on her face. She was glowing which make anyone believe that the king was here for her. At least, that's what she wanted to believe.
"That's amazing!" Eloise stood up happily and walked out of the room with Irene, leaving Penny all alone to pray for her life.
Penny walked to and fro in her room, completely out of the idea of what she should do. A part of her wants to believe that the king came to her house for another person who won't be her of course but deep down she knew he was here for her and nobody else. He came for her!
Zephyr sat down in the Leos's living space like the king he was. His left leg was placed on his right leg, his silver eyes scrutinizing the small mansion that was just exactly the size of his chamber. Meanwhile, Roman stood behind Zephyr, searching for the lady they came here to see. But instead, his eyes fell on the two ladies, walking out of a room which left him wondering where the lady went off to.
"Good Afternoon, your majesty." Mr. and Mrs. Leos greeted with a bow. Zephyr stared at the two humans in front of him for a while, enjoying the loud beating of their hearts which made his lips break into a smile.
Never in his wildest dream would Mr. Leos imagine that one day, he would have the pleasure of having the king in his home. Though he was happy, he couldn't help but be afraid that the rumors were true. But if the rumor was indeed true, then could it be that the king was here for one of his daughters? But the question is, which of his daughters?
"Your Majesty, to what...."
"One of your daughters caught my attention at the ball the other evening, Mr. Leos and I'm here to bring her to my palace." Zephyr went straight to the point, not allowing the man to waste his time. He was here for Penelope and not her family.
Mr. Leos closed his eyes for a brief moment, he gazed at his wife briefly before staring at his oldest daughter, Irene. He could see the happiness in her eyes which made him think that Irene and the king had met before. But what, he didn't know was that Irene was barely fantasizing about the king being there for her. She couldn't wait to leave the slums and get to leave the castle.
Though the king said 'one of his daughters', they all thought he was referring to Irene. Mainly because out of Mr. Leos's two daughters, Irene was the most eye-catching one. The dream of every man made Mr. and Mrs. Leos a bit calm. Out of their two daughters, Irene was the only person that dreamed of a wealthy lifestyle while their other daughter just wants a simple life.
"Your highness, which of my daughters would that be?"
"I heard you have two daughters, Mr. Leos? Where is your other daughter?" He asked instead of answering his question. They were indeed two young damsels in the room but the other girl, he knew she wasn't part of the family. She couldn't be, she wasn't the woman he came here for.
"My youngest daughter is in her room, she must be feeling unwell. That's why she isn't here to pay her greetings, my king," answered Mrs. Leos. The last thing she wanted is to allow her unfilial daughter, to be the reason for her family's downfall.
"Is she?" Zephyr said almost in a whisper. He returned his gaze to Mr. Leos and with a smile that didn't reach his face, he stated. "I'm here for your youngest daughter, Mr. Leos. I'm here to bring your youngest daughter to my palace."

"I'm here for your youngest daughter, Mr. Leos. I'm here to bring your youngest daughter to my palace." A long deafening silence took over, and they all gazed at each other with a baffled expression on their faces. Eloise turned around and left for Penny's room. She now finally realized why Penny had a worried expression on her face when she mentioned the king. All along, she knew the king was here for her and not who they all thought he was here for. The smile on Irene's face slowly died down. She fisted her knuckles angrily, piercing her fingers deep into her skin. Once again, her younger sister was going to take what was supposed to belong to her. Mr. and Mrs. Leos stared at each other for a while, they both had a lot to say. But...it was the king and not a stranger. One wrong word would have their head cut off. "My king, are you perhaps mistaken?" questioned Mrs. Leos with a bow. With a sly smile on his face, Zephyr responded, "Did I stutter, Mrs. Leos?" "I..." Mr. Leo h
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 6- The Ride
Penelope closed her eyes for a few minutes, to stop the tears from her eyes from falling. Though, for a long time now she's been planning to leave this house, the environment, and most especially get far away from her sister. She wasn't expecting to be this way. Never in her wildest dream would she have imagined that she would be trapped in a relationship with the king. If only she had not let her legs wander around the castle the other evening. Mrs. Leos placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, comforting her. "Your father and I will try to appeal to the king, Penny. We will do everything to make sure you are safe, I promise." Penelope opened her eyes, nodding her head in approval. She could only hope that the king will be reasonable enough to let her go. Unfortunately, that won't be happening any time soon. "He's waiting for you," stated Mrs. Leos. She signed tiredly before walking out of her daughter's room. Penelope swept her haze around the room like she was admiring it for
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 7-Her New Life
"Pardon me?" Penny said, furrowing her eyebrows in the process."I will teach you that with time, Penelope. For now, just keep being my woman, will you?" Zephyr asked which will make anyone think that he was expecting an answer. But Penelope knows that he wasn't. He was barely toying with her feelings, only God knows how she ended up with a man like him. "I'm not your woman, my king," Penelope said firmly, her eyes were cold which made the smile on Zephyr's face grow wider. It was her cold eyes with the innocent aura exuding from her body that caught his attention when he first laid his eyes on her. Her innocence, the faux smile that's always on her face makes him so eager to see a real smile on her face. But one thing was certain, he was going to make sure that she falls so madly in love with him even if he has to go past through hell for that to happen."Time will tell, Penelope," Zephyr answered, not bothering to make her accept. He doesn't need her nor anyone else approval before
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 8- His World
Zephyr sat down on his throne in the courtroom. His presence alone was overwhelming but his cold gaze was enough to send shivers down their body. The smile that was once on his face was nowhere to be seen, it seems like that smile was meant only for Penelope. He gazed at members of the council as if he was watching his prey. And to him, they were no different from his prey.The room was silent, too silent which made it seem like they were paying tribute to a lost soul. But then, they were all afraid to give the king the report cause they were scared of the king's wrath. "I don't remember appointing animals as my ministers or do I?" questioned Zephyr but they all knew better than to reply to him. Just one mistake, that was what he need to have their head rolling on the cold floor."Don't tell me I appointed fools!" Zephyr said in a cold tone, glaring at the good of nothing men in front of him. He was supposed to be spending his time with Penelope, looking for ways to win her heart but
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 10- Betrayal
Penelope was in her chamber, still in a daze. There was a knock on her room's door which brought her out of her world. A brown-haired maid walked in with her head bowed. "Good Morning, Lady Penelope!", greeted the maid with a bow."Good Morning," responded Penelope half-heartedly. Ever since she stepped foot into the palace, strange things have just been happening to her and she so much hated it here."My Lady, the king wants you to dine with him in his room," the young maid said, still bowing.Penelope scoffed annoyingly, "Tell the king that I'm not hungry.""But..." The maid bit her tongue when she realized what she was about to do. There was a rule in the palace for the maids which was they were not allowed to question their masters. Though she was sent here by the king she had no right to question her decision even though she knows that the lady's response might cost her to face the king's wrath."I will, my Lady," the maid responded, walking out of Penny's room.Penelope let out

Penelope closed her eyes gasping for air. She only thought that the king was a crazy man, no insane... "You made a promise, King Zephyr! It was a promise and promises are meant to be kept!" Penelope uttered calmly, trying to stop herself from losing control of herself."Oh," Zephyr muttered softly, he took a step backward and that made Penelope calm. She thought she was saved from his trap but instead...Zephyr carried her in his arms and without waiting for her reaction he threw her on the bed. He was losing control and the more she refuse to give him her blood, the more he yearns to have a taste of her blood. "Ahh!" Penelope gasped in fear. Her eyes were a bit misty, her eyes were bloodshed red, and she was close to tears. She shut her eyes to stop those scenes from playing on her mind. At that moment everything felt so familiar and it was driving her nut.Zephyr noticed the change in her heartbeat. He stopped and finally decided to take a look at her. Fear! That was the first exp
Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 1- The Ball
"Don't tell me you are not ready for the ball, Penny?" Irene sighed tiredly, glaring at her younger sister who was busy playing with her kitten. "Ball? What ball?" asked Penny, her green eyes glowing brightly. Even if she did know about the ball, she wasn't a bit interested in attending the vampire ball. She wasn't ready to be a meal for those bloodthirsty ani.... people. Irene sighed and answered annoyingly," the king invited us to his Ball and Momma wants us to go. She wants to find us a suitor as quickly as possible." "Suitors? Papa agreed?" "Yes, I believe he's ready to give us away. We have been living here for too long and the last thing I want is to be a source of a topic for those jobless villagers. Now get ready Penny, I will be in my room if you need help with your dress." said Irene, walking out of her sister's room. Penny placed her kitten on her bed, stood up, and lazily removed her nightgown. She still can't remember Irene telling her about the ball and even if she d

Penelope woke up a bit earlier the next morning. She sighed tiredly as she recall the events that took place the other night. All she wanted was a peaceful evening but she ended up getting the opposite. She was so lost in her world which made her fail to notice a shadow behind her. Her mood was a bit damp, mostly because of her mother's eagerness to get her married and the other being that she can't get the silver-haired man or better still the king away from her mind.

Silver Eyed Devil Chapter 3-His Woman
It was past midnight, Penny was in her room with her cat on her lap. She sat down beside the window admiring the stars, at the same time thinking about the silver-haired man she met, the king. She closed her eyes, remembering every little thing that happened between them. She wanted to get him out of her mind but she just can't. She wasn't able to get him out of her head and that was affecting her. She heard a click and turned around to see Irene walking into her room in her evening wear. Her eyes lingered on the pink evening wear that was once hers. Their father being a tailorman gave her the gown for her eighteenth birthday. At that time, she was still so close with Irene and that was also the year her sister showed her true colors. She gave the gown to Irene because she claimed to have washed her only nightgown but thinking about it now, it seems she lied to her. She removed her gaze from Irene and stared at the stars instead, choosing to ignore her. Irene noticed this but chose
