Eren knew Geraldine was upset, he knew she couldn’t understand why was he treating the silver haired girl the way he was, truth is, he didn’t understand why either, he convinced himself it is all a part of his plan, that she was only the final pawn in his chess board, but a small part in the back of his mind scoffed at him mockingly, telling him he wasn’t fooling anyone…
“Why did you hug her?” he heard her ask in a quite voice, unlike Sara’s, Geraldine’s voice was always confident even when low, it was a reflection for the kind of woman she was, strong and reliable and he loved that about her for he was never a fan of weaklings.
“You already know, Gera…”, he

“Not there!” Sara exclaimed, unable to hold her loud giggle, the kitchen was already a mess and they were still far from succeeding in making anything edible, at her request, Eren asked the maids to not come as she wanted to be the one cooking, it was the least she could do, after all, her good friend had been sheltering her, feeding her, and providing her with everything she needed without asking for anything in return, Sara always hated that feeling of liability, of depending on others, but unlike her father, her friend didn’t have any obligations towards her, he was giving her everything without asking for anything back and she didn’t like it, she didn’t like using him that way although he had assured her that she was giving him everything by being around and making the quite house alive with her presence, she did suggest that she goes back to the shack only to be met with absolute refusal as he felt better that way with her being under his careful w

Unable to keep her mouth closed, Sara stared at her reflection with wide eyes and dropped jaw, for a few seconds she couldn’t believe the person in the mirror was none other but herself.Looking at towards Geraldine who chuckled a little, she voiced her question only for the black-haired girl to confirm it and Sara finally understood why did it take that long to get ready, at first, Geraldine made her take a long scented bath, replacing her usual jasmine essence with roses and lavender one, she then used several cylinders to curl her hair, the strands were pulled too tight, and once taken the shapes of beautiful loose curls, Geraldine applied some sort of transparent cream on it before gathering it in a beautiful updo, and the fringe prolapsed on both sides of her face like silky curtains. Her makeup was kept soft and elegant to not hide her natural beauty, Geraldine wanted to see how would the silver-haired girl look with some bold red lipstick but it wouldn’t ha
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Two: You Belong With Me
The ride to the royal palace wasn’t long, and it wasn’t the chattiest either, For the young couple in it sat in comfortable silence, each having his own thoughts, his own worries, and fears that didn’t want to burden the other with, it was one of the rare moments when they chose to remain silent in each other’s company, being so close with their knees were almost touching was more than enough, for words were no longer needed to connect them.It barely took two hours before their carriage reached the capital, traveling the forest in the time of dusk was quite the experience for Sara, especially with how beautifully the colors of green, gold, and orange have blended, but it was still not as breathtaking and overwhelming as the sight of the capital and the castle. Her eyes stared out of the window where her small palms were placed.Sara never saw so many people gathered in one place people, and definitely not with such diversity, there were a
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Three: Alone In The Crowd
Sara was surprised by the sudden contact, forgetting about how alarmed she felt not a second ago when all the lights were extinguished, and then how scared she was when she sensed that creepy chill she felt before when she looked into the demonic gate. But once the soft cold lips were pressed on hers, all her fears, all her defenses and senses were, she didn’t need to see who was kissing her for she was very familiar with those cold lips, only that she always felt them on her hands only.she stood frozen as his palms rested on each side of her face to stop her non-existing attempts to deny him, he wasn’t willing to give her that choice, not with how those lips of her looked, so delicious and inviting, he had fought the urge to claim them for so long that it became painful to resist, especially with the way she looked at him while saying those terrifying three words, so beautiful, so loving, and so willing to give herself to him in ways she was yet way too in
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Four: Sisters
Sara stared at the beautiful redheaded princess with wide terrified eyes, her face was drained from blood once she heard her say those words.She was meeting her actual sister for the first time.“Bring her a cup of water.” The princess said and stepped forward towards the pale girl, looking genuinely worried, at first she was only doing her diplomatic duty as a princess by reassuring and looking after all the noble guests while the matter was being investigated, it was not confirmed yet but the darkness that took over was probably of a demonic origin, and for that to happen in the royal castle during the coronation was a big blow to the Yoren name and the whole kingdom’s reputation. Thus, she was obliged to check out on all the guests all while secretly pick up any rising rumors among the noble ladies and redirect them in what serves her family instead of creating additional disturbance.These were not the best times and Nara knew it, and even
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Five: Family Portrait
Sara took a deep breath once she was alone in the bathroom cabinet, trying to calm her heart and mind. After living her life in total solitude, she couldn’t imagine that there would be a time when she would wish to be left alone so bad the way she does now, even for few minutes.Sara wanted to sit down for a moment, regain her composure and think about her next move but she didn’t want her dress to be dirtied by any chance, she still had to walk out of there looking as good as before and find her way out as soon as possible before anyone from her sister’s party sees her.Sara was truly shaken by the encounter, for she had touched something very kind and pure in her sister even if things went sour shortly after, she still kept the first impression she had about Nara, a beautiful kind soul that does not hesitate to help others, she smiled warmly, allowing herself to feel happy for a second for finally meeting her sister, her family.The moment wa
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Six: The Princess, The Queen, The Danger
“Don’t you dare lie to me for I know exactly who you are, Sara.” The queen said in a cold voice, her words coming sharper than blades, her eyes lost all the softness they had earlier and stared at her with a deadly glare.Sara wanted to gulp but even that was impossible with how dry her throat felt at the moment, not to mention she was petrified, she feared that even that small motion of gulping would send her head across the room as she notices the guards had their hands on their sword handles, ready to decapitate her if she made one wrong move.Sara felt exposed to her bare skin when she heard the queen say her name, she had some hope before, to tell another lie and stall a little until she is able to make it to the carriage, but the queen had blown that off entirely and pinned her to a corner without even moving, her cold blue eyes were more than enough as she stared at Sara with enough intensity to murder her if looks could kill.“I&h

"You are up way too early, little sister..." Ripping her eyes from the tranquil scene of the forest being illuminated by the first rays of the sun, the scene was breathtaking but just like every day, she could help but find nothing rather than disappointment in it...Dawn was supposed to bring light, warmth, hope...but it wasn't bringing her any, nor was it bringing her sister back to her."Please tell me you haven't been awake all night!"

"Because, this is my destiny, I am a Goddess and I was destined for greatness, now I realize it, You, on the other hand, you are only dirtying this place with your presence!" once the words left her mouth, Sara regretted saying them, hurting the man she loved deliberately and watching the effect her words had on him was equally devastating to her, her heart was breaking simultaneously with his, echoing in the silent room, visible on the tense postures...They say actions speak louder than words but Sara knew that no punch was going to cause worse damage than the words she was spitting bluntly, no attack would have wounded him that deep enough to through him in a state of complete stillness, His eyes cast downward, his breathes coming out deep and calm, his shadows retreating to gather around his feet.Did she really do it? Break his heart enough for him to finally give up on her? Sara thought as she watched him thoroughly, her eyes desperate to make contact with his, unabl
The Princess And The Demon Not In A Million Years
"Don't!" Emerging from the shadows right before his fair lady's hand touched the filthier one of the man whom he considered as a father, Eren pulled her to his bare chest callously before wrapping his arms around her with no finness nor consideration to her trembling state, in fact, he was so angry at her he wanted to keep squeezing until he broke all her bones, every last one until she was no longer able to move or walk away from him in order to commit her heroic idiocies such as joining the Gods in their suicidal mission for the sake of the greater good.After his encounter with Historia's ghost, or whatever the thing he saw in the bottom of the river was, Eren wasted no time before flying to the center, cursing himself all the way for not thinking about it earlier, of course she would be in the center, it was the only place in their world where he didn't have eyes and ears in, the place where the dark energy was the weakest, it explained how he couldn't sense her presence

"What in the world is this none sense?" Squinting his eyes, Eren stated at the red headed princess, his mind refusing to comprehend the absolute absurdity that came out of her mind...When Andrea dared to once again bother him in his solitary where he mourned his broken heart, he was about to kill her but the words that came out of her mouth managed to save her life in the last second, for she had announced that his fair lady has finally been seen, and it was by none other than the redheaded princess who asked to meet him...Meeting the useless princess could wait, Eren first told himself as he searched the perimeter of the castle, looking for any traces of his fair lady, but he found nothing, not even her delicious scent which he craved like his next breath.She had hid her traces, that was Eren's first guess, but after hearing what the redheaded princess had to say, he started to think that his fair lady never showed up in the first place..."You can ha

"The once one shall be one, it must, it is the only way for this frail world to survive the death surrounding it, if not, darkness shall swallow it, the sun shall never rise again, and cold will seap through the fabric of life, cutting off the bonds, chasing away the warmth, children shall die in their mothers wombs, love bonds shall be severed, and the sun shall never rise once again nor shall the moon and stars shine, there will be nothing left of this world unless we save it...""What are you mumbling about?" Sara questioned warily, her heart still in the bedroom were she left an angry Eren who was probably raising hell just to find her, a sting of regret erupted inside of her but she quickly pushed it aside to focus on what the three silvered hair men were saying…It felt like being trapped into that horrible nightmare once again, when the Gods tried to absorb her powers, they looked no different from what they did back then, long white robes, long silver locks,
The Princess And The Demon Despair
Stay away from me...Why? Eren asked himself for the millionth time, and was still unable to find an answer for it, everything was so perfect and then, out of the blue, his fair lady was acting as if his mere proximity was stabbing her right in the heart...Stay away from me...Those foor words, they were not spoken with hatred nor disdain, if anything, Sara seemed shaken, broken, and sad beyond words, her eyes held despair and pain, one that ran deeper than his understanding, one that cut his breath the moment he saw it, and he knew, even without her admitting it, that he was the source of that pain, and the thought of not knowing why was making him madder each second...But that wasn't all, Eren thought as he jugged his glass of alcoholic blood, for he had seen something else in her beautiful eyes, something he was so familiar with, anger at the world, it felt like her eyes were cursing anything that ever existed for some reason…What reason?

"Is he among them?" Seeing the sorrow behind the wariness and rage that filled Eren's eyes, Sara couldn't help but lower her eyes apologetically before nodding, Zaman was with Kalan and the other God indeeed, and the three of them were right outside the castle in the outskirts of the king's forest, their auras were sensible and clear for her but not to Eren, which only meant that they were waiting for her for some reason without wanting to alarm the demons.The question was, why?What did they want?"I don't know about Ebdi, and Jo..I mean Zaman's intentions are still not clear, but if Kalan is here, I can only think of trouble, I shall call for backup..." Eren said as he buttoned his shirt hurriedly before walking towards the door, hoping that his fair lady would agree to stay in the castle until he figures out what the God's Intentions were, but a single look at her determined face made him more certain of how futile it was to ask."If they wanted to attack the

“A little of red on the lips would look great on you my lady, and it would suit your dress!” the demoness said enthusiastically, absorbed on finishing the last touches on Sara’s look, all while being oblivious of the mixed thoughts and feelings the young Goddess was having.“The lord isn’t back yet?” resisting the urge to sigh at the question that was asked several times already, the demoness put on a polite smile as she answered truthfully, “Not yet my lady, but I am sure he will be here soon.”You sure aren’t you, Sara asked in her heart while looking at her reflection, the demoness did a decent job at making her look presentable for the royal wedding which was happening that night, her hair was brushed neatly to frame her face, the fringe falling strategically on her face to cover the fading scars and then a small tiara was placed on top of it, the red rubies sat on a black base matched her dress, and the red col
