The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) Epilogue
"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.) Prologue
A demon with goat's horns and black wings on its back was sitting in his chamber. His breathtaking feature, covered by a thin cloth at the waist, exposed his sexy upper body. On either side of him, two succubi were groping his masculine frame, but he seemed not to care and lost in thought while sipping the crimson liquid from a grail.“You look bored, My Lord,” said one of the succubus.“Hmm,” he mumbled. Endless boredom stroke him these few hundred years, made him feel in need of entertainment.“Isn’t there anything to cheer me up?” he sighed.“How about you play with me? I offer myself up so you can have fun, My Lord.” The succubus drew closer, and a grin appeared on the demon’s gorgeous face.“Hm, come here. Please me, I won’t forgive you if you can’t entertain me, understand?”“Ah~ Yes, My Lord.” The succubus’ body

The great commotion struck at dawn when it was pouring.Barend and Aghnya had fierce arguments. Felen did not know the reason behind the quarrel between his parents, but after snooping on the maids’ talk, she knew. Barend insisted Felen couldn’t become the head of the family because she was a woman, but Aghnya refused it and stood firm on making Felen the sole heiress of the family.In this era, women were just tools to give birth. No more than that. How pitiful.“Then what do you wish for? You only have one daughter, Barend!” said Aghnya.Feeling humiliated by Aghnya's tone, Barend shouted back, with a voice full of hostility.“Watch your manner, Aghnya! Who said I only had one child?” A cynic smile crept onto his face.“... W-what do you mean?” Her eyes widened in surprise.“As you had found out just now. I might have another child, and my son will become t
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 2. The Heir of Leister
The carriage of nightmare had arrived in front of the front gate, and only a matter of time before it stopped right in front of her.It brought Abelard, Barend’s future successor. The boy snatched all of her father’s attention away. That's way Felen hated and resented him.Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of her. As the head butler opened the door, a boy stepped out of the carriage. Barend moved forward while spreading his arms to welcome him.“Abelard, my son and the sole heir of Leister,” said Barend, and Felen sneered. As if he made fun of her - the rumoured illegitimate child, even though Felen and Barend had the same eyes colour that confirmed their blood ties.The warm atmosphere between Barend and Abelard made Felen envious. He came from the slum, yet took over her position and made all her efforts as a former heiress became meaningless.They need not her presence because when Abela
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 3. The Punishment
The luxurious manor looked and dark, as if there was no life in there. However, in the room where several hippo-skin whips were hanging, two humans of different ages, Barend and Felen, were standing opposite each other after a brief quarrel.“Turn around, show me your calves,” Barend said with his jaw tightened in anger. In his right hand, a black whip was ready to be used.“Papa...!” said Felen with a pitiful face. Tears rolled down her chubby, pale cheeks.“Felenia, don’t make me repeat the words.”Her lips clenched at Barend’s bitter voice. Her body shook as the clock ticked in the night's stillness. She tried his best to hold back the sobs that escaped her lips. Not wanting to further exacerbate the anger directed at her from her father. Felen turned around as ordered. She closed his eyes, hoping that the pain she was receiving could lessen a bit by doing that.“Five l
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 4. Runaway
“You will move to the western building for the time being according to Master’s order,” the butler said to Felen, who was indifferent to her surroundings. “Yes...” said Felen, agreeing to the exile. Since then, Felen no longer lived in the main building, but in the west building, close to the servants’ quarters. Barend restricted her from visiting the main building. He isolated her from the outside world. Not knowing what was going on besides her golden cage. Including Aghnya condition, who was in her room under strict guard. Felen believed being confined was better than having to witness Barend’s affection for Abelard, where she became the forgotten party, monotonous life without conflict. However, Barend crushed her expectation when he called her at certain times to meet with Abelard. Last, his anger became a dessert that she had to taste. This continued until Felen stepped into adulthood. Happened until it made her bored and

Freedom is only a dream when the devil intervenes. *** “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
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 6. The Banquet
“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

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
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 61. Revenge
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
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 58. The Traitors
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
