2024-10-29 19:42:56The hood that covered Leon's head was removed by a sudden gust of wind, now the man's face was visible. His expression was cold with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
"Too bad this time I can't let you hurt my bride-to-be, Lilith." Leon slowly twisted Lilith's arm which was in his grip. The sound of bones rubbing against each other, then breaking painfully was loud enough. Felen who witnessed this grimaced in horror.
"We'll be getting married soon. I don't want to delay any longer." Along with Leon's words, Lilith was thrown back by the man's strength.
Lilith groaned loudly as pain shot through her body. However, the pain in his body was still nothing compared to when he saw Felen who was in Leon's arms. Lilith glared at Felen, jealousy taking over her.
"Why... when I was with you first, My Lord. He--" Lilith pointed at Felen. He was very hurt. Leon didn't even look at him at all, and only focused on Felen. "He's just a useless, weak human! It's

"Felenia." Louisa waved her palm in front of Felen's face, but the human girl didn't react and still seemed lost in her frantic thoughts.Not at her wits end, this time Louisa shook Felen's shoulder a little harshly until the girl finally snapped out of her daydream. "Ah, Louisa... ?" Felen blinked a few times. He looked at Louisa in a daze, still in a confused orientation of his surroundings."What did you daydream about until you didn't realize I called you many times?"Felen was silent for a moment then replied with a tired sigh. " ... Many things." He rubbed his temples which were throbbing in pain. "Because of someone I have to think this hard," he complained again sighing softly. The silver-haired man's words gave Felen a headache. Although the man's words did not seem important because they were spoken casually in a casual tone, in fact upon closer inspection the sentence had a very deep and dangerous meaning.Felen's gaze fell on the object in his

"Looks like we have another guest." Leon gently shook his golden glass of wine. He then took a sip of it slowly, tasting little by little the sweet and bitter that complemented each other. Leon sighed softly feeling the pleasure of the red liquid.The man seemed unperturbed at the presence of the other two creatures in the room, though the other was in a very chaotic state with lots of bruises and blood, both on his body and pooling around where he lay helplessly gasping for air.Leon glanced scornfully at the creature, Asmodeus, and let the other creature wait until he finished teaching Asmodeus a lesson for defecting from orders. "Who do you think is coming this time?" Even though he seemed to be asking Asmodeus, Leon didn't really need a reply from the devil. He took another sip of his wine, but suddenly threw the glass at Asmodeus' forehead with great force. Black blood gushed from the wound again. Leon stepped slowly on the demon who was his younger brother.

"What does this mean, Satan?" Leon asked flatly to the demon sitting casually on a chair. The demon's face showed pleasure at having managed to confine Leon in his artificial dimension. He chuckled lightly when he saw the cloudy expression on his sister's face."Accompany me to drink for the next few minutes, O my brother," replied Satan as he raised his glass high.Leon took a deep breath, then sat down on the chair opposite Satan. "I expected you to be the most annoying thorn in my game, but it's still annoying." He poured himself the Red Wine that was in the bottle into the empty glass on the table.Satan's happy laughter echoed loudly. He looked genuinely amused and happy at the same time he managed to mess up Leon's plans. "The unexpected will make your game even more interesting." Satan raised his glass at Leon, asking the man to toast him."Yeah, you're not wrong," Leon commented agreeing with Satan's words. He raised his glass as well until the ri
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 43. Wedding Dress
Today was the last day of the festival, but Felen chose to stay in her room in Leon's castle while looking at the various items on the nightstand beside the bed. There is a glass cylinder filled with roses, Aghnya's ring, the Leister family crest in the form of a bracelet, and a moss green handkerchief. Who would have thought that he actually got more than one treasure?"I want to avenge you soon, Mom, but right now I'm still weak..." Felen's green net was glued to Aghnya's ring.Even though the room was very dark with no light from the candles, with only a little moonlight entering shyly through the gaps in the curtains, Felen could still see clearly. Eyes adapt well.However, these activities must be interrupted when someone opens the bedroom door. A ray of light from the candle came in uninvited. "Why is it so dark in here?" asked the man grumbling a little. With a flick of a hand, every candle in Felen's room lit by itself. Starting to illuminate every corne
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 45. Bridal Ritual
The castle which was usually quiet, and seemed uninhabited was now a little crowded with servants and Bunny passing by preparing the necessities for their master's wedding. The main room has been transformed in such a way that it looks festive and does not seem gloomy.Meanwhile, at the altar, where Felen performs the first ritual, it is left as it should be so that the sacredness of the bridal ritual is not reduced. Just a little touch of red candle with a sweet aroma that will hypnotize the bride and groom.All of that is the result of the cooperation of all beings who work under Leon's rule, including Adrien who is the leader of the creatures with these lower castes. The old servant looked very enthusiastic when giving directions. Even though his face had an even expression, the twinkle in his eyes couldn't be hidden.While the owner of the show, Leon, chose to lock himself up with Felen who was fast asleep by his strength. Waiting for the awaited time to wel

The black vortex sucked up Felen's body mercilessly. The girl's breath began to get heavy with panic. Just as Felen was about to open her eyes to see what was really going on, Leon's voice as well as a squeeze in her hand stopped the girl."Don't open your eyes until I ask you to." Leon reiterated.Felen felt that what he experienced felt very long as well as a moment. It was too strange for Felen to describe, but when felt directly, those who experienced it would understand the meaning of his words.After a while, Felen's feet felt like stepping on something solid. He even called Leon to make sure. "Leon ..."Before Felen could finish his sentence, Leon interrupted first. "You can open your eyes, Milady."Felen slowly opened her eyelids timidly, peeked a little, but all she got was pure white."Open your eyes, Milady. There's nothing terrible here . . . I guess." Leon's voice was heard again asking Felen to open his eyes.
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 47. Her First Night
The party had just begun.All the creatures in Leon's castle cheered with joy when they learned that their master's bridal ritual had been completed, and an empress had been chosen. So it's time for them to party.They were given the opportunity to devour all the food and drinks that had been served with joy. Including Adrien, the old servant and Alair, the leader of the Interessengruppen, who participated in the party, even though they just stood quietly in the corner of the room. Observing with their characteristic flat faces. Do not participate in the madness of other demons.The creatures were partying not because they really felt happy for Leon's achievements, but because they just wanted to party and unwind with alcoholic drinks that were hard to get for low castes like them. Only some of them really cared about the rituals of the bride and the empress. The rest only think about their own pleasure.The later the night picks up, the busier the situat
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 48. The Third Dimension
Meanwhile in the human world, right after Abelard returned from the Devil Reign, bad news greeted him. Edith, his mother, died. Moreover, Edith had been buried two days ago."What does this mean?! Didn't we only go out for a day? How come a week has passed here?" Abelard demanded of Satan who was standing by the window with his arms crossed. His face was flushed with veins that were clearly printed on his neck, a sign that his anger had peaked. He felt cheated."Ah, I haven't told you that one day in the demon world is the same as one week in the human world?" Satan replied casually. Doesn't seem guilty at all."You! You should have told me something important like that earlier!" Abelard punched the large glass in the room to crack while glaring at Satan. Blood oozed from his knuckle hit by the broken glass. He needed something to vent his anger, and the glass was the victim."You didn't ask, Abelard." A scornful grin graced Satan's lips.Abelard w

"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
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 62. Rest in Peace
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
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 60. Before The Storm
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 Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 57. The Tombstones
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
