Sara stared at her leaving father with a bright smile, waving at him happily, while the early sun rays illuminated his body. The sight was truly majestic to the eye. The king waved at her as well, promising to come visit her sooner than expected, with plenty of gifts and savories. Sara was grateful for her father who couldn't bear to leave her upset. Those few extra minutes he spent with her, just hugging her and telling her how much he loved her. It brightened her morning and lifted the weight off her heart for a while, but once he took off and was out of sight, her smile fell off her face only to be replaced by a sour expression.Sara wished she could muster enough courage to tell her father she didn't want any gifts nor savories.

But unlike her soft features, the woman had rather sharper ones that that spoke volumes about her status and strength.The woman was saying something, Sara noted from her moving lips.

‘’Another carriage was attacked yesterday, Your Highness, three bodies were found, while twelve are still missing”, Henry frowned while listening at the bald man across the round table. It wasn’t uncommon for the demons to attack humans as they were their main source of food. However, the numbers were alarmingly high, not to mention the locations and recurrence. Due to the curse on their kind, the demons were not able to walk in day light nor step too far into the human lands away from their exiles. Nevertheless, their latest attacks defined all the known facts.Pinpointing the location of the attack on the large map, Henry looked at it thoughtfully, his thick brown eyebrows knitted in a deep frown as tried to connect the knowledge he had with the data displayed in front of his eyes.

Sara stared at the running water with a disinterested gaze as she sat by the riverside, a basket of cranberries next to her.

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
