Chapter Fifty Seven: The Human And The Demon
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Henry took a deep breath, filling his lungs with the refreshing air of the sea, but instead of loosening the knot that formed in his abdomen, the freshness only made it tighter, mostly because he knew what was waiting for them in those open waters.
His ship was on the very vanguard of the armada, followed by the five hundred ships filled with the combined armies, each ship having the same number of human soldiers, shadow demons, and ice demons in order to create a balance that would help them when it is time to face the rumored sea monsters.
“We are almost there!” Eren whispered next to him, his voice barely audible as his eyes scanned the horizon.
“Can you see them from here?” Henry asked while following the shadows’ lord line of sight, but he saw nothing except the calm blue water reflecting the first rays of the sun.
“No! but I can see the irregularity of the wa

Eren hissed in pain when another creature bit his shoulder the moment he landed on another ship, it was an attack he couldn’t evade for he was in his human form, holding back most of his demonic scent for he knew that it would hide the faint one that attracted the monsters to him instead of the humans.Not his own, but the scent of Sara’s blood.It was the only reasonable explanation he could come up with or the monster’s weird attraction toward him, to the point where they ignored the humans and chased him from one ship to the other, because he was the one who consumed her blood directly, taking a bigger portion than anyone else, and he was a hybrid, his human half was unable to hide the strong divine blood like a pureblooded demon would.But why? Eren asked while jumping to another ship, his bleeding wounds leaving trails of his blood for the monsters to smell and follow, he knew he was losing too muc

Sensing her prey’s pain and fret, the woman’s lips stretched into a wicked smile, revealing a set of decayed grey teeth, amused with the futile attempts of the fly trying to escape her creatures’ grip, her chest rose in victory and pride, for she knew that the prey she got this time was not like any other.This particular prey had something particular about him, he was a young man, full of life, he smelled so manly, so sharp and masculine, exactly the way she liked them, she was getting very tired of the boring intruders who would have been already dead, this one was the change she was craving, but there was something else about him, something palpable even from such distance, dark like her days, sharp like the canines of her pets, and cold like the depths she lived in, the thought of the rare combination made her mouth water with all the things she planned to do to her little toy after she is done asking him questions and feeding her curiosity.Eren

The safe ways were the shortest, ones that never took far, and his was a long one that obliged him to take all the risks.As if the inside of the mountain was made of a giant bubble where he could breath, Eren welcomed the air inside his lungs, taking long and deep inhales, not caring about the vile woman who clearly enjoyed his misery.“You survived the dive! I am impressed!” clapping her hands few times, the woman continued with the same proud attitude “Fascinating, isn’t it!” she gestured with her hand around the place, Eren ran his eyes around the empty cave, unable to detect the fascination the woman was talking about, it was but a large dark cave, filled with random unmatchable items, ones which were probably stolen from the destroyed ships that dared to cross the forbidden sea.“And beyond! How can I breathe here? And how come the cave isn’t filled with the seawater?”“That is my doing, even tho

“Keep on switching positions, the ones in the back, move forward, take the positions of the ones in the front, don’t lose focus!” Henry marched the board with wide, quick strides, his voice authoritative and strong so none of the crew would miss his orders, even though not everyone was willing to follow them.Looking back at the back of the ship, Henry wondered if the shadows’ lord was still alive, it would be a miracle if he was, and since he was on his way to fight the Gods, he doubted he could prey for a miracle.Henry looked at the faces of the crew, wondering if he would see them on the returning sail, if he would be on the returning sail, and if there will be one in the first place, it was one of those rare moments where he felt the urge to lock himself in a room and just fret, panic, away from everyone else.Henry was never a coward, however, he wasn’t the reckless kind who would throw himself in the way of danger out of hero

Resuming his movements, Henry gave the crew more orders, warmer and more encouraging this time, talking to each one of them individually and giving them something to hold on to while telling the leaders of the other ships, using the skill of the shadow demons, to do the same, it was all to keep the soldiers focused on the presence by preventing them from being lost inside a labyrinth made of their own thoughts, their own weaknesses and fears.“Your Grace, here!” answering the call, Henry walked towards the center of the ship, where a little crowd formed around one of the soldiers, judging by his lost expressions and their worried ones, the human king understood that the soldier, who was a young demon, was under the effect of the fog.Standing in front of the soldier, Henry wondered what should he say to him, he was but a boy, fifteen years old at best, his thin built and pale skin indicated that he was an ice demon, the shadow demons were larger, some
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Sixty Three: Blood Seal
Meeting the ruby eyes that held not just the unshed tears, but the undeniable missing, lodging, and joy, Henry forgot all about his royal status, years of etiquettes' lessons were long gone the moment he saw her face, with all the emotions he was feeling inside his own heart reflected on it.He didn’t bow down courteously, nor did he take her hand to kiss the back of it, he didn’t give her the warm smile which used to be the way they greeted each other, nor did he bother with greeting words, there was no need for those, for their eyes said all that needed to be said and more.A distant memory flashed in the human king’s mind, making him mentally laugh at himself, back when he was a child, he acted like the perfect young prince h
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Sixty Four: Death From Above
Rima was the first one who sensed the approaching danger as she was the strongest demon with the purest blood in the united army, however, even with her absolute intuition and fast reactions, she couldn’t act time to protect others from the ferocious assault, and in a matter of seconds, the golden shore turned into a bloodbath.Henry on the other hand, felt completely lost and shaken, as if a whole appeared under his feet, he didn’t even know how it all happened, one second, he was observing the armies as they arrived one troop after the other and began to form their lines, the water was calm, the sky was clear, the golden sands shone with a warm glow under the strange light, the forest looked strange but peaceful, however, right in the next second, the sky was hidden behind with thousands if not tens of thousands of

“Most of them managed to escape!” A young handsome man in golden armor spat out with utter disgust, his eyes narrow and focused on the far shore where the boats disappeared behind a veil of darkness and fog.“Doesn’t matter, judging by the way they escaped, they won’t be able to survive the mirage, it was quite the experience!” another man replied nonchalantly, a smug smile plastered on his face.“But what if they did? What if they returned? more prepared this time?” the first man spoke, his thick brows pulled into a deep frown, his jaw clenched firmly, and his thin lips pressed together, he didn’t like the fact that some lowlifes managed to escape, but what annoyed him the most was the way hi

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..."

"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?

"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
