Chapter Sixty Nine: All The Old Wounds
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56It all felt the same, as if they were thrown back to the same hell all over again, only that this time it didn’t just come from above, it came from every direction.
Turning to the source of the scream, Henry’s eyes widened and his heart pounded in his chest like a trapped bird as he watched the men, humans and demons, with their bodies caught on fire, clawing at the ground as they tried to crawl forward yet couldn’t, because they were tied down but what looked like thick moving ropes.
At first, Henry thought that it was snakes, but focusing a little, he saw the continuity the strange ropes had with the soil and the trees, roots! Henry thought, the roots somehow had a mind of their own and started attacking them!

Henry's mind was back on functioning once he was able to catch the tip of the thread, he observed the barrier, then the trees, then the barrier again, noting for the first time that the forest didn't attack them nor show any sign of life and hostility, even when they attacked the newborns, until they attacked the barrier, with fire arrows at that, the fire that seemed to extinguish mid-air, could it be the one that lit up the trees? could it be that their attacks on the barrier were thrown back at them by some mysterious connection between it and the forest? This mechanism, whatever it was, seemed very difficult to decipher and so was the connection but again nothing was fully decipherable nor understandable since they got themselves into this crazy journey.Henry decided to go on with his recent, hopefully correct, assumptions,
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy One: Greeted By Death
Henry stared with fascination at the crystal castle and its unique architecture, it was large, and built directly on the forest lands without any grooves nor water streams surrounding it, it towers almost scraping the sky, the walls made of the finest crystal emerging directly from the ground without the stony base, shining with their own light, there were no signs of a gate or any windows on the castle, making it appear like a giant flawless diamond with perfect cuts, and for a second, he couldn’t believe he just gave an order to rain it down with fire and ice spears, not until they started colliding with the flawless walls.Beauty could be deceiving indeed, Henry told himself, for something so beautiful like the castle was hiding the most vicious creatures in their world, ones which manipulated them for thousands of years
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Two: The Return Of The Shadows' Lord
Could it be someone's in the army? Henry thought looking around him, but if that was the case, then why didn’t they sense it before, could it be the place? Were the Gods playing some tricks on them, turning them on each other the way they did thousands of years ago, but before he could test his theory, a demon pointed at something lying on the crystal floor.Someone! Henry looked closely, a person lying in a pool of blood, he couldn’t see the person clearly but the silver locks were not easy to miss.Indeed, it was hard to miss! So how did they miss it the first time they walked into the whole, it almost felt as if the body was hidden behind a curtain which blocked their visions, and the only way to see what was behind it and make it
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Three: For Her
Andrea and the rest of the army stood ready, their fingers tightening around their weapons, watching as the shadows’ lord, who looked nothing like his old self, fought against something none of them was able to see, waiting for his signal, for an opening of his making to move, not many understood why did the human king leave, nor what was the shadows’ lord fighting, all they knew was that they had one last order, one which was going to end the war.Eren, on the other hand, glared at the bastard who dodged another one of his attacks, he was fast, too fast, but the shadows’ lord was only warming up, feeling his newly acquired powers itching to come out.....
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Four: The God And The Demon
Nov stared at the weird monster with a mixture of disgust and bafflement, his clear eyes studying every inch of the black creature’s body, and comparing it to the rest of the peasants he was defending.The monster surely reeked of dark energy, which meant he was a demon, even though he didn’t resemble any of the demons in the hall, he was bigger, stronger, and faster, not only was he able to see him, but also match his godly speed and dodge his attacks, also, a woman claimed he was her lord, but Nov doubted that it was the sole reason for his strength, the creature was different, and the thought filled his heart with thrill…To rule over all these creatures, to be worshiped by them all as the only God, to have them bow down at
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Five: Frozen Heart
"While the shadows’ lord fights...Ah....whatever there is, stay alarmed and prepared, there might be other enemies, once he gives you a signal, attack the shrine, don't use dark magic, only physical attacks, you must break the pillar, and crash the large recipient." Henry gave his last order before speeding out of the castle, his feet carrying him back to the forest where he last saw her, where she stood and looked at him with her red pleading eyes, begging to be believed, and all he did was look away and she was gone, he hoped she was still there, the entire island was covered in snow, his footsteps revealed a layer of ash right underneath it, there were broken trees, twigs, branches, the whole place was nothing but ruins.Was it the because of the barrier? Henry wondered, he knew that a certain connection existed between
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Six: Her King, His Queen
"What do you mean by "Really"?!" Henry’s smart eyes narrowed at Eren, his face a solid mask of composure but the demon in front of him was perfectly able to hear his erratic heartbeats as he carefully contemplated the meaning behind the word."I think I need to explain everything from the start" Eren sighed before looking the human in the eye, "When I was left behind by your hypocrite ass to deal with the sea monsters alone" Henry rolled his eyes at the shadows’ lord who chuckled at his successful attempt at teasing him, grateful for he knew that the Lord only wanted to lift the heavy atmosphere."Okay! Okay! Seriously now, When I 'WILLINGLY' stayed behind, I’ve met someone, Ayartma, her name was, she was a banned second-generat
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Seventy Seven: The Journey Back Home
“Make love to me…” Henry felt something steering in his core, something delicious and pleasurable as he studied all the shades and emotions in her eyes, reflecting his own on their beautiful redness.There was shyness and embarrassment, passing her eyes to settle on her cheeks, tainting them with an adorable shade of pink, but there was also the confidence of a woman who knew what she wanted, what her body needed, and didn’t wait for it to be offered to her but instead reached out for it, there was the same lust and fire he was feeling, combined with love, and a need to connect with one another.Rima was never the person to lay her body and heart out, she was not good with expressing her feelings either as she never felt the need to, not on such deep levels at least, but were not the only way to express one’s self,

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

"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 Princess And The Demon Final Ritual
"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
