“Hurry after the two of them. Don’t let them run away!” Rough shouts full of anger continue to echo in the misty forest.
Aghnya and Felen ran with all their might from Barend’s men. Sweat dripped down their bodies while the twigs scratched their skin. It hurt, but if they stopped just to look at the minor wound, they would capture the two of them. Now, they no longer have a secure place to take rest and shelter.
Aghnya’s love for Barend is foolishness that she regretted after learning of her husband’s betrayal. Being tortured, she bears up, but when Barend tries to kill Felen— his only daughter, Aghnya will fight back. She did not realise her husband’s evil attitude toward herself and Felen because love blinded her.
Even Aghnya’s parents opposed her marriage. However, under the pretext that one day his attitude would change after that incident, she forced her will to

“Felenia, do you want to come with me or let the humans finish you?” Felen turned her head, then looked at Leon’s outstretched arm. “Why should I come with you?” She chuckled. A bitter smile appeared on her lips as her gaze fell on Aghnya’s stiff, breathless body. “Because you’re my prisoner. Your mother also left you with me. You don’t have any perfect reason to refuse my goodwill. Staying here and ending up dying is not an option that you will choose.” His words were true that a doubt clung to her heart. The circumstances didn’t give her much choice. She took his hand. Even though she didn’t know what kind of future she would face if she followed him, it was better than death. Her golden eyes gazed at Felen. “Wise choice. Don’t worry, you will continue to be with me from now on,” he said that with a bright smile. Once again, she looked at his Aghnya body, which was covered in Leon’s black feathers. “What about

Your pain is the most delightful thing that I will slowly absorb. *** “My Lord, the preparations are complete.” Adrien approached Leon, who was looking at the beauty of the night sky in Devil Reign through the glass wall. He waited quietly, not wanting to disturb his master. “Look, Adrien...” Leon sighed as he spread his arms wide. “... one of my wishes is within my reach,” he said with a burst of passion. His face showed satisfaction as he licked his dark red lips sensually, feeling a pleasant euphoria bubbling within him. “Of course, My Lord. After all, you are indeed wonderful.” Adrien replied. This time, Leon chuckled. He put on a big smile. “Your flattering still sucks, Adrien.” His body turned to face the old servant as his hands tucked into his pocket’s pants. His golden eyes gazed coldly at Adrien. “You may go, Adrien. I’ll pick up my bride myself.” “Very well, My Lord.” Adrien lowered his head and walked
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 8. The Cruelst Demon
Felen saw her reflection in the mirror. Nothing had changed from her physique other than an odd symbol on her chest. She touched it with her fingers. This is proof that last night was not a dream. She would never forget it. It might even last a lifetime. Her body and mind remembered it. However, she still felt it was not real, or rather, she rejected it. Once again, she looked at herself in the mirror. This time, she turned around, surveying her back. However, there are no other oddities as well. Then at that moment, the doors opened wide, revealing the demon who had tortured her last night. “Wow…” The demon — Leon, whistled at the attractive sight. She covered her breasts and inched backward when he stepped closer. “It’s not what you think it is!” she said with a wary expression. He smirked. “I don’t mind if you think about something dirty, Milady.” “Stop right there!” She said, but he didn’t heed it at all, mak

All demons in the room looked tense. Except for Leon, who was sitting with a bored face on the throne. He was, oddly enough, still lenient when the general of the Interessengruppen suggest something that humiliated his greatness. The thing he was proud of as The Avatar of Pride. “Don’t beat around the bush, Alair,” he demanded. Alair bowed his head. “I didn’t dare to be presumptuous, My Lord.” His body trembled in fear as a light breath of Leon’s power blown towards him. “Raise your head.” Alair raises his head at Leon’s command. He stared at his master right in his golden eyes to show his sincerity. “It would be wise if Miss Felenia learns about the Demon World first,” he said that with a firm voice. Leon did not reject or accept his suggestion. He was still considering it. “So you’re saying I should put her in the Demon School?” After a moment of silence, Leon responded. “That’s right, My Lord.”
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 10. The First Day
A royal carriage with a crest of three different heads landed in the courtyard of Leon’s castle. It looked spectacular. In front of Felen, a gigantic horse with black wings spread beautifully pulled the carriage. The horse’s eyes were white and looked lifeless. The carriage looked wonderful when it was flying in the sky. A truly amazing attraction for a human like her. It was like seeing a fairy tale come true. In the human world, such a thing would be impossible for her to see. The most surprising thing was there was no coachman. “Greetings, Your Majesty.” A deep, low-pitched voice came out from the black horse. It bowed his head in showing courtesy like royalty. It shocked Felen. She didn’t expect it could talk, even had a masculine voice. Another thing that made her surprised was the sudden appearance of Leon with a dark aura emitted from his body. “Long time no see, Zeron.” Those relaxed words with a firm ton

Felen wore a differentt attire from the other students’. It made her stand out. The white coat she was in stark contrast to the black uniform of the Academy of אשמדאי (Ashmedai) students. She was the centre of attention. Not just because of her attire, but because the teacher had mentioned Leon’s name. Lucifer, or Leon, is the king of the demons and she was the bride chosen by him. That was why they were curious for different reasons. One of them was a golden-haired female demon who was looking at Felen. Her eyes didn’t move the slightest bit as she watched her. “You’d better not annoy her, Miss Litiana.” The warning came from the black-haired man, who was leaning against the large window beside Litiana. His right eye is brown and his left eye is green with a cylindrical shape. It looked unique and scary at the same time. His expression seemed fed up when he realised Litiana would make a ‘small’ commotio
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 12. The Forest of Wonders
The Forest of Wonders is the largest and widest forest in the demon world. This forest differs from other forests in the demon world. Apart from its immense size, no one knows what kind of life and creatures live there. Only a handful of demons with high status and power know the secret behind the Forest of Wonders. This forest is very dangerous. Especially for humans, other than demons, and low-powered demons. The Forbidden Forest is an appropriate nickname for it because every creature that enters the Forest of Wonders always sees different things. That makes it dangerous. The forest always misleads people. Just like the demon which misleads humans. The Forest of Wonders only brings despair. It was the brief explanation written in a book by the previous demon elders. The book was in the demon library of the city's heart, and all the students of the Academy of אשמדאי (Ashmedai) knew about it. So, no one dared to enter the fore
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 13. Ancient Magical Beast
When Leon came back to his castle, he rushed to Felen’s room through the balcony. The first thing that caught his attention was Felen, who was relaxing on the sofa. She looked normal in a plain white nightgown, but somehow in his eyes, she was stunning. “What are you doing there?” Felen’s soft voice pulled Leon out of his fantasy. He adjusted himself so as not to look like a foul. It would be a shame if she found out that he caught off guard because of her. “You should have greeted me with a warm hug or at least a light kiss,” he said as he jumped off the guardrail. “Why should I welcome someone trespassing into my room?” Her arms crossed. “...But, I’m not a person?” His casual answer, wrapped in a questioning tone, created wrinkles on her forehead. He was not in the category of ‘people,’ but another dimensional being. She had lost the words she wanted to say to him when she realise that. “Whatever.” She

"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 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
