***
A month in the human world has passed. Though in the demon world, it’s only been a few days and Felen hadn’t woken up from her slumber. The honey brown-haired girl with beautiful jade-coloured eyes was still in the dream maker’s arms while lying comfortably on the soft bed with velvet sheets.
She wouldn’t notice that there was a figure seeing her in the distance. Her silk nightgown looked dreamy, revealing the seductive curves of her virgin body.
There was no voice in the room other than her breath, giving off a peaceful vibe. At the far end of the room, Leon observed her with a curious look. He hadn’t been absent from visiting her since she returned to the demon world. He checked her every two hours and made sure there were no oddities that might endanger her life.
Once or twice in a day, he had witne

You bind my soul, and I will enforce you in the same way so that your lips never tell lies.***“Get dressed. I’ll show you something.”After saying that, Leon got up. Without turning back to see Felen’s reaction. He left her alone, and she could only remain silent.One thing for sure was that his calmness gave her an uncomfortable feeling. He brought up the kiss that she had not paid off. Kissing him wasn’t the first time, but she still couldn’t do it.She remembers the excitement when their lips touched.She subconsciously touched her pink lips in slow motions, soaking up their soft texture. The blush that graced her cheeks grew brighter to the earlobe, but it didn’t last long as a knock on the door caught her attention.“Miss, we come to help you prepare.” The voice behind the door was firm.A bunch of white bunnies appeared together through the door afte

Everything has a reasonable price.***“What kind of swear do you want me to do?”Leon waited for Felen, who seemed mulling over her words. As she stepped forward to get closer to him and the small table in front of him, her lusty lips uttered an astonishing sentence.“I want you to swear to never tell a lie to me forever. Of course, in the name of Lucifer, the Great Demon and Leoniel— on your behalf. If you violate it, I will forever obliterate you from this world- both the demon world and the afterlife.” She explained.“... How mean, Milady?”She rolled her eyes lazily. “You’re even meaner than this, sir,” she hissed and crossed her arms in a haughty manner.She didn’t flinch, even though he glared at him. Her gaze hadn’t moved an inch from his silvery, glowing eyes.“Milady, you’re a pretty annoying and ... vindictive girl.”His eyes narrowed.

Leon’s approaching footsteps made Felen back away in reflex. His tall and large body towered over her, making him seem like a predator who was observing his prey.“What’s the matter, Felenia? You’re not this frightened by my presence before.”His deep voice gave chill through her spine, and her smile made her frightened. She screamed while having a seizure when he was getting closer and closer. The cold air had embraced not only to her body but to her bones.She pleaded to stay where he was.“Stop! Don’t come any closer!”She didn’t know why she reacted like this, but it suffocated her unlike before when they were kissing passionately. Her courage had disappeared.Beads of sweat trickled down her temples and her heart pounded like it was going crazy.Right now, he looked like a patch of darkness and terror.“Oh...!” As if remembering something importan

At first, Leon was still considering whether to include Abelard on the play. However, after seeing that he has a unique ability that other humans rarely have, he decided Abelard will become a support character with a name, and playing an important role in pushing the main character to meet her ruin.“Abelard!”Barend’s shout snapped Abelard out of his stupor. However, he was in a tight situation, so he didn’t dare to rush. The demon’s auras were too intimidating even when they just stand still and passing through both of them was not a wise choice.“You may go,” Leon ordered curtly, giving Abelard a way through.Abelard passed through the two tall and large men with hesitant step after hearing Barend’s impatient demand. The cold air engulfed him when he managed to escape from the tense situation.“Abelard!” Again, Barend shouted, and Abelard went straight to his father, who looked really pitif

The corners of Leon's lips twitched as Felen's voice calling his name over and over again came through telepathically. His focus was suddenly confused, and made him imagine that the body currently in his control was Felen, his bride-to-be. Leon growled in annoyance as he stomped harder and harder."You seem in a hurry, My Lord. It's still a long night." Lilith spoke along with sighs and groans that echoed after Leon finished his activities.Without answering Lilith's unimportant statement, the man immediately fixed his clothes and smoothed his jet black hair to make it look a little neater. Felen's soft voice calling his name was still heard, making him lazy to continue the annual event which is a mandatory activity on the agenda. Leon's mind was more focused on Felen who was frightened by the energy of the demons around him, and it bothered him a lot."Are you going to meet you
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 30. Masquerade Ball Party (b)
"The party will start at nightfall."Even though Leon said night, the obvious difference that Felen saw from the sky was the slight dimming of the moonlight. Day or night, the moon itself is still perched firmly on the horizon with a shape ten times larger than the shape of the moon in the human world."You look nervous, Milady." Leon again disturbed Felen who was sitting while squeezing his fingers in his lap.Currently Leon and Felen are in a special room specially reserved as guests of honor. Only the two of them were there, enveloped in Felen's awkwardness and nervousness which only got worse when Leon's words from yesterday replayed in his mind like a record on a broken gramophone."Whose fault do you think I am to be so nervous?" Felen hissed in disapproval, and Leon gave a light chuckle.The corners of Leon's lip

"You're not going to help your bride-to-be?" The question came from one of the figures standing in front of the large window. That figure was Leviathan.Leon responded with a chuckle."He'll be able to handle it without my help," Leon replied as he shook the tall gold glass that was specially made for him.Right now Leon was gathering with the other hell princes, who were also Lords of the Devil Reign, in a special room where there was a large round table in the center. There are six demons in there, namely Asmodeus, Leviathan, Mammon, Belphegor, Beelzebub, and Leon himself-- Lucifer. They were all waiting for the arrival of another figure, Satan.The meeting was an annual meeting that became the routine agenda of the princes of darkness. Although not much was discussed or done, the meeting was held without ever being missed. The agreement made them
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 31. Litiana's Defeat
Litiana growled softly. He felt humiliated by Felen's arrogant attitude who challenged him openly. The female demon's face revealed rage. Making her beautiful form slowly fade to be replaced by a terrible face with many black lines running all over her body. Litiana's porcelain white skin turned gray with some red symbols engraved at the end of the long black line that had appeared earlier. Two small red horns sticking out of its head and a pair of reddish black wings spread out on its back. A dark red aura erupted around the demon's body.Litiana's drastically changed visuals made Felen flinch. It would be a lie if he said Litiana's appearance wasn't scary. The demon made his courage and confidence dwindle. Felen chuckled softly. He began to hate the appearance of the demons that deceived the eye."I won't lose to you!" Litiana shouted loudly, and Felen just sighed, then looked at the woman's passionate att

"What is a being like you doing in the sanctuary of the sleeping souls?" A short boy with blond hair greeted Leon at the entrance to the Spirit Realm. Even though the child was small in stature, an aura of dexterity emanated from him, as if to emphasize to anyone who came that he was not a being to be underestimated. "Tell me your goal!" said the boy proudly. Leon sighed lazily. He was quite annoyed with the arrogant attitude of the half-hearted creature. But he refrained from destroying the place, it was all for the sake of regaining half of Felen's soul that was confined in the Spirit Realm.If Leon made such a fuss there, it was certain that he would not be able to enter and his plan to obtain Felen's soul failed. "I came to retrieve the soul of someone who was accidentally sent here," Leon answered straightforwardly. The boy's eyes narrowed sharply. He scanned Leon from top to bottom. There was nothing unusual about the man's appearance, silver hair that was almost white with

Barend, who was watching the ceiling, turned to look at Felen and Abelard, and for the first time in his life he gave his two children a genuine smile. “Thank you… I can finally reunite with the Aghnya.”Silence took over. Only Barend's low moans and gasps could be heard. After a few minutes had passed, Barend's body was no longer breathing. The man left with a peaceful smile on his lips.'Easy as that?' Felen's heart screamed pitifully. Between happy and sad, he couldn't decide. He laughed blankly. The dagger in hand fell to the floor, making a loud sound that jolted Abelard out of his reverie.Abelard reflexively held Felen's body which was almost falling to the floor, shaking uncontrollably making him worry about the girl's psychological state. "Felenia?" he called carefully after sitting Felen on the chair."You know, Abelard? I prepared all of this for a long time . . . tediously, with quite a long preparation, but lo ... humans are indeed fragile. They, we, can die easily." Fele

Felen pointed the dagger at Barend's neck. The moment she stepped forward, the man's neck would be torn apart. "Enough. Stop your bullshit!" She shouted loudly. Tears that had gathered in the corners of her eyes had melted down her cheeks.Barend's chatter suddenly stopped.The more Felen let Barend speak, the more the man said things that made her sick. "What Abelard said turned out to be wrong." Her voice trembled slightly, but was full of firmness."You only care about yourself." Felen rose from the chair, still with the dagger pointed less than five centimeters at Barend's neck. She slowly moved around the table to make it easier for her to attack Barend if the man was being anarchic. She could immediately plunge the dagger if that happened.Barend's earlier words saying that she was a cheap woman made Felen furious. It was true that the man had apologized, but the apology sounded insincere and felt empty, and was accompanied by ridicule and put all the blame on Aghnya. Barend was

When Felen opened her eyes, she was already standing in the courtyard of the Leister family's manor. The building looked majestic, but was filled with emptiness like an uninhabited building. Not a single servant and maid was seen passing by. The aura emanating from the building also seemed very gloomy and dark."What is this?" Leon spoke first. His forehead was furrowed deep and his eyes narrowed sharply.Not only did Felen feel the strangeness in the manor, but Leon also realized that something had happened there. The black energy colliding there looked extremely chaotic and strange as if it was done on purpose. Moreover, he felt the energy of his brothers, the princes of darkness.Leon took a few steps forward with his arms outstretched forward. When his hand touched the empty air, suddenly static electricity appeared and hurt his hand until it was blistered. It was as if an invisible shield was refusing his presence to go deeper into the manor."Leon! Your hand ..." Felen exclaimed
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 59. Their Stories
The plan for lunch with Abelard was canceled, and Felen was invited to join him for breakfast instead. Only the two of them were in the dining room. Leon chose to stay in the room with Gruga with the excuse of wanting to give Felen, and Abelard a room to talk freely together.Felen had done her breakfast and was currently drinking tea with Abelard. The atmosphere in the dining room is quiet. Only Felen and Abelard's soft exhalations were the only sounds. The maids had long gone to make room for them, but since then Abelard had not made a conversation yet, her anxiety getting stronger. She glanced at Abelard several times, then at the clock which was oddly not ticking. It was as if time had stopped in that room."What do you want to say, Abelard?" Abelard didn't appear to intend to immediately explain what he said at that time, until Felen took the initiative on her own. Her voice trembled slightly. Not because she was nervous, but because her instinctive anxiety indicated that what A

Felen threw himself on the bed. Even though she wasn't doing strenuous activity that drained her energy, she felt like she was running out of energy after talking with Abelard. Abelard said that he wanted to talk again after lunch. A deep sigh escaped from her lips.She was in the villa belonging to the Leister family. At first she refused to stay here, and wanted to go straight to Barend after she had known how rotten his father was. However, at Abelard's suggestion and Leon's orders, she postponed it.Felen's eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened. She glanced at Leon who didn't move an inch as he stared out of the window. Drops of water that fell from the sky slowly began to wet the earth. It constant voice gave comfort to the room engulfed in silence."It's strange to see you being so quiet all this time." She broke the silence between them after seeing he had no intention to speak the slightest bit.He turned to Felen who was staring at her with her forehead furrowed in suspi

The long awaited day had finally came. Felen's fingers squeezed together nervously. She had a mixed feelings as she took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat and nervousness."Are you ready?" Leon had stayed beside Felen, waiting for her to get ready.They were in the Forest of Wonders, right in front of The World Tree which was one of the entrances to the human world. Leon actually suggested Felen to just use his teleportation instead of going through The World Three. However, at the request of hid bride who wanted to go to the labyrinth first, they ended up passing through The World Tree."Let's go." She grabbed her hand that was stretching towards her. Then, they passed through a black portal that appeared in the center of The World Tree. The portal looked awful, but once she entered it, there was nothing different or special about the place other than the predominant black color.There was a hidden fear inside her. She kept imagining that the black portal would suck her in and loc
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 56. Short Training
In one corner of Devil Reign, there was a special area reserved for angels from Celestial Realm who attended the Academy of (Ashmedai). One of the residents was Louisa who was currently communicating with Archangel Michael. She provided detailed reports on what has happened around Felen."So you're saying that she turned down the offer to get rid of Lucifer, preferring to take the thorny path?" The voice sounded gentle, soft, and soothing."Yeah, I guess it's pointless persuading her again. It's better if we eliminate her so she doesn't fall further into darkness." Louisa's face turned gloomy and sad. All of that is not a pretense. He was really very sad because he failed to persuade Felen to leave Leon.The figure in front of her looked just as sad as her. "Then I'll leave it all to you. I'm sure you know what's best for your first friend, right?" he answered understandingly, accompanied by a shady smile that made her eyes welled with tears."Very well, Archangel Michael." She wiped
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 55. The Preparation
Although Leon had ordered Felen to sleep and rest, she couldn't sleep in the least bit. She stayed awake all night without even closing her eyes once. As a result, grayish black shadows were formed under her eyes. Her face looks wistful with tired lines. She sighed tiredly. This was the third time this morning she had been sighing. A proverb says that happiness will disappear if she continued to sigh. However, for her happiness had long gone from her life so no matter how many times she sighed it wasn't a big deal."Miss, would you like some more?" asked one of the bunnies seeing that her cup was empty."Yes, please." Felen replied briefly with a faint smile. She was waiting for Leon's arrival to talk about Barend like he had said last night. She didn't know where the demon went so early in the morning. He had disappeared from her room while she was bathing and getting dressed.She took a sip of her tea, and a domineering and slightly sweet and bitter aroma mixed in her mouth. A tas
