Chapter Eleven: Call Me By My Name
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sara stared at the running water with a disinterested gaze as she sat by the riverside, a basket of cranberries next to her. She couldn’t stop herself from coming to this particular spot in every given opportunity, not knowing exactly why. There was no guarantee that the young man who saved her might show up again in that place but her desire to see him again was too strong to resist.
What a strange situation the one she was in, she remembered returning to the shack after that day, overwhelmed by the strange mixture of embarrassment and happiness, and even though she knew no one was following her, she couldn’t help but walk fast, almost running. Once she was inside, she closed her door and placed her hand on her chest, sensing her erratic heart beats that refused to calm down, incontrollable smiles showed on her face like spasms. She was hot, as if placed on a boiling pan, she fanned her face while walking to her mirror, only to be met with a shocking sight.

Sara ran her fingers through her fringe, trying to give it a bit of volume and a beautiful form, she decided to let it untied for the day as it was a beautiful day with temperate weather with was neither hot nor cold, once done with her hair, she looked at her all in the mirror, smiling in satisfaction.The dress she wore for the day complemented her indeed, grey wasn’t her favorite color but it did make her complexions look livelier, especially with the little white flowers made of silky threads on it neckline and skirt, the hem of it stopped right above her ankle to prevent it from being dipped in the forest mud, the skirt wasn’t a fancy one, it was made of several layers of fabric that fluid down her body smoothly, the upper part however hugged her torso intimately, not hiding her thin waste which made her breasts look fuller, the round neckline was reserved but it still allowed her long neck and a part of her collarbones to show, giving her an extra touch of f
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Thirteen: Cold White Dove
Sara stood under the large tree, rubbing her palms together after blowing some hot air on them for some warmth while watching the heavy rainfall. She was drenched and cold, freezing even, the green branches didn’t provide the optimum protection from the cold droplets but it was still better than standing in the open sky. She shivered as she looked at her left and right, hoping to see any sign of Eren.Sara remembered the day she ran back to the shack after spending the day with her dear -and only- friend, she expected to find her father already there, waiting for her angrily with a long list of investigating questions, she thought about tens of excuses to tell him, and none of them included the truth as she knew he would be furious about it, she knew he would forbade her from meeting Eren again and even move her somewhere else, away from him.Sara didn’t know when her handsome savior became that important to her. in the beginning of their friendship, she be
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Fourteen: Caring Friend
Sara was too cold and numb to move, a dull pain spread all over her body while a much stronger one was focused on her belly, she knew what that strong pain was, hunger, she was starving, she wished she could have curled up on herself more to reduce it a little, but she had no control over her body.Being the king’s bastard, she was deprived of titles and wealth. However, her father made sure to provide her with everything she needed to live a respectable and comfortable life, she was always well fed and sheltered, never suffered the hunger nor cold, this led her to grow up isolated and fully dependent on her father, which didn’t do her any good as she had no idea how to face life alone.Sara tried to survive for the first days, economizing her consummation of the few resources she had left, skipping some meals and eating less, saving the woodblocks for the coldest nights only, using candles instead of lamps to save their oil. She did good at first but with

“Well...” Sara looked at Eren with worried eyes, hoping he would understand the reasons that prevented her from telling him the truth, “I always knew you were hiding something, but I never imagined it was this…”, Eren couldn’t hide his surprise as he stared at her with raised eyebrows, “So you are the king’s daughter…”“Illegitimate daughter…”, she corrected him in a small voice, she wanted him to not neglect that fact as she knew how unaccepted bastards were in their kingdom, she wanted to know his reaction and his thoughts about the matter but his face remained the same, not a single emotion passed through his eyes as he kept on staring at her in the same way, the impossible one to read.“So?”, noticing the way she was looking at him, Eren asked her, thinking there was more to her weird story, but the girl’s eyes were suddenly clouded with sadness, breaking their eyes c
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Sixteen: The Personal Assistant
Sara stared at Eren’s retreating back as he left her room, reaching the door, he and the black-haired girl exchanged a strange look before he left the room, the girl then sighed and walked inside, closing the door behind her.Sara, for some reason expected the girl to be just like those rude priests who couldn’t stand to be in the same room as her, however, she turned to her with a very polite smile, placed one foot in front of the other and bowed ever so slightly, Sara watched the act with baffled eyes, she knew all about the courtesies and the formal way to great someone, but the way Geraldine did it made hers look like a duck attempts to get up, Geraldine was so steady and graceful, her back remained straight as a wall, only her head move in an elegant and slow motion before it rose again, her feet were placed in a way that gave her whole body a defined silhouette even behind her puffy skirt.“Good evening Miss.” Geraldine greeted with a smil
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventeen: Dinner With The Duke
Eren stared at the silver haired girl as she ate her food happily, savoring each bite, she tried to hide her enjoyment out of decency as it wasn't so lady like to eat much but her transparency betrayed her, she was way too obvious and pure for her own good, not that he could blame her considering the kind of life she had, the sight of her face and eyes as she stared at the night sky for the very first time was engraved in his memory for the rest of his life, a pure joy of something everyone else took as normal, like an innocent child looking at a magician's show in a croud of adults, seeing her like that, he felt a strange feeling washing over his heart, he somehow wanted to offer the kid more cotton candy just to be able to see his priceless expression and sparkling eyes, she looked so beautiful and breathtaking in that moment, wearing her innocence and transparence like a halo, she looked truly out of this world, he couldn’t imagine what kind of life the poor thing must have
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Eighteen: Nightmares
Eren laid on his back while staring at the ceiling, he couldn’t remember the last time he slept in that house, probably never, he sighed as he caressed the arm of the naked girl laying next to him, also awake and thinking…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
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Nineteen: Painful Love
Katherina stared calmly at the king, trying to conceal her emotions under a cold façade, it was equally painful for her to see her beloved husband in such a state, Edard was always a dignified man and a dominant king with a powerful presence, to witness him like that, looking like a wounded animal struggling to attack what he thought was his predator wasn’t the best sight for her eyes…“What have you done to me?” Edard asked in a small voice while his wide eyes stared at the bloodied bandage above his knee, right where his now amputated leg used to be, he refused to believe it at first, telling himself he was dreaming, that all of this was but a nightmare but the pain was too real to be made by imagination, and so was the bitter truth.“I saved your life...”, At her sudden words, the king glared sharply at his wife, thinking she was mocking him but he was met with nothing but an utterly serious face…The king st

The Princess And The Demon Epilogue
"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!" Narrowing his eyes worriedly, Henry strode inside the room to reach the patio where his sister was standing, a sad look on her face nullifying the smile she tried to wear for his sake."I was just...a little anxious about today." Frowning at his sister's tired voice, Henry couldn't help but worry about his sister and her wellbeing during the upcoming journey she had insisted on taking..."You don't have to go, Nara, it doesn't have to be you, we can always send someone else..." Feeling the warmth and gentleness in her brother's
The Princess And The Demon Wait For Me
"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
The Princess And The Demon Moonless Nights
"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?

The Princess And The Demon Gap
"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
The Princess And The Demon The Beginning Of The End
How could one be so happy? How could one freeze a moment of happiness and imprisone themselves within it? Give up what was left of life with all the ups and downs and unknown futures just to keep on living one moment, over and over again?Smiling shyly, Rima placed her hand in Henry's without taking her eyes of his, it was all happening, and a part of her was still unable to believe it, she couldn't believe that after everything they went through they still survived to witness that day, the day of their union, not just as lovers, but as two leaders bringing together rivalry nations that didn't know of peace and harmony until lately, that alone was an impossible dream with a bloody history behind it to prevent it from becoming real, yet it was happening, it was a reality, a beautiful, almost unbelievable reality, just like the feeling of his hand in hers.Throughout her life, Rima learned the hard way that happiness was but a short incomplete phase, it was never there t
The Princess And The Demon Selfish Bastard
“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
