“Fine!” Eren sighed tiredly when Sara refused to move, “But don’t think for a second that you are fooling anyone! I know you are awake.”
Eren stared at the girl lying in his bed, he had so many things on his plate, such as receiving and discussing with the guests from the other empires and preparing for the expedition toward the center, however, for days and nights he had sat next to the bed, watching over the unconscious girl.
For the first time in his life, Eren felt helpless, he was always the man with a plan, and a couple of back up plans in his pocket in case the main one didn’t work, he was the person who used his strength and wits to overcome any kind of hardships, except for this one.
As days passed, Sara’s wounds healed little by little leaving behind several scars, and just like that time when she had a cold, her healing and regeneration process were much faster than normal, but even with all her wounds close,
“I always found it weird that you humans, despite your diversity, all believed this one story, about your heroic legacy, and how you defeated the evil in the world. The history of mankind, that is what you call it” Eren spoke calmly, his voice didn’t have a single trace of hostility, for he hoped she would understand, and maybe, just maybe, his earlier actions against her can be forgiven, and then they, together, can find out a way to save the world and write down a new history with a brighter future.“The tricky thing with such stories is that they happened too long ago. and time, my fair lady, is more than capable of blurring the lines between realities and lies.”“Yo...You mean that the history of mankind is a lie?” Sara, even though she was still scared couldn’t help but ask.Eren sighed in relief, for she finally had enough courage to ask, he wanted her to engage herself in the conversation so she wouldn&rsquo
“Back then, my fair lady, Humans, and demons were the same, they were still one race, one single population that lived together, that is why humans and demons now are so alike, we look alike to a certain degree and we can even mate, and it is also one of the reasons why I couldn’t understand the reasons that lead your ancestors to betray mine.Maybe it was out of fear, maybe out of cowardness, maybe out of stupidity, maybe out of greed for some crumbs, maybe they wanted to cling on the thickest thigh, and maybe they had slavery running inside their veins all along. It could be anything, however, no reasons can justify what they did, for my ancestors were in the same shoes, and yet they still chose to fight for their life and freedom, they refused to be some imposters’ livestock, a choice they paid for very, very dearly...” Eren’s gaze hardened a little, for he was reminded of his people’s suffering.“My ancestors at first had nothing but deep disapproval that turned to anger, it lived
“Sounds like they are having a lot of fun.” Micka leaned to his side to whisper to Geraldine, his voice amused as if he was playing one of his sick games, which he was, manipulating the black-haired demoness who was staring at the door with a face of someone who just got slapped.Geraldine’s ears picked up the muffled voice of the girl, and before it a gentle whisper that she couldn’t exactly understand, there was just a little opening when Eren’s shadows flickered and allowed some voices to trespass their barrier, such thing only meant that the keen shadows lord was distracted for that split second, and the muffled voices gave her a pretty good idea of what might have distracted him, an idea she didn’t like at all.“You know you shouldn’t be here, Lord Micka!” Geraldine swallowed her doubts and turned back to the fire lord, she knew what he was doing and she wasn’t that stupid to let him inside her head that
“I…” Eren took a step forward, trying to reach for the girl but that only made try to crawl further even though her back was already pressed to the headrest, realizing she had nowhere to escape, she hugged her knees under the covers and kept staring on him, her eyes never leaving his, and the tears never leaving hers.Her pure eyes, the ones that resembled the sight of the blue sky from under the water, the ones he loved so much, were now hidden under a sheen of salty wetness, they had a new shade to them, one which was darker, sadder.Eren couldn’t help but think it was his least favorite, for her eyes looked shadowed, and deep down he felt as if they were reflecting his soul, like a mirror in front of which he was standing, bare to his reality.A monster.He wished at that moment that Sara might show any other emotion but pain and fear, but the two were enough to numb any other, he wished he can sense anything else, he wished sh
“I have assigned two maids for you, Lord Micka, please feel free to ask them for anything you might need or desire!” Geraldine offered the fire weasel a sweet smile once they both made it to his room, and the sly smile on his face told her that he had understood the hidden meaning of her words!The maids were not there to only tend to his needs, but to watch him! How pathetic, thought the fire lord to himself.“Just two? A man of my status would surely need more than two maids, my dear!” Two maids were like two flies that he could simply crush if he wanted to, the fire lord thought, and surely the demoness in front of him knew that.“I wouldn’t underestimate the shadows demonesses, My lord, especially not the ones I had personally picked for you.” Micka raised his eyebrow at the confident smile Gera was giving him, she then looked behind him and indeed, from the shadows emerged two gorgeous demonesses, their short dresse
“My, what happened to you, my dear?” the fire lord asked as he invited the black-haired demoness inside his room, only a small robe covering his naked body while the two demonesses whom she assigned to watch over him were naked on the bed, one hovering on top of the other as the two busied themselves in licking and pleasuring each other’s woman parts with their tongues.So much for watching over the fire weasel! she thought as the two barely noticed her presence, not that she cared.“I told you two were not enough, and I told you that I am much more experienced, I know how to drive a woman mad with pleasure to the point where she won’t be able to stop asking for it,” he said as he looked at the two demonesses moaning loudly, their mouth assaults on each other’s sexes intensifying as they both approached their climax.“I don’t think I can say the same about your precious Eren!” running his calculative ey
This, was the life she always wanted?This, was the life she always craved?Sara wondered, thinking back about her dull days in the tower, about her lonely nights in the shack, she was sad, she was lonely, but she was safe, not to mention she had hope.She hoped her father would visit, and one day he would change his mind.Back then, she had hope, and it was all it took for her to suck up to that life of hers.The life she would give anything to go back to!But she knew, deep inside her, that all hope was lost, that even if she managed to get out of this place alive, which was impossible, her life before Eren won’t be there.That life was but ashes now, she knew, thinking back about her father.She begged and begged, but he didn’t open the door.He left her to the monsters.One monster, one beautiful lying monster.Sara’s eyes never left the door, she was watching it like a little rabbit t
Eren frowned as he ran a trembling hand over his silky black hair, not knowing what else to do.He had never cared about a sick person before, he had no idea what to do, and the few things he knew and tried on her didn’t work.Her fever didn’t drop even after he made her drink the whole glass of water and medicine, her breaths turned shallower, and her eyes kept on moving uncontrollably behind her closed eyelids.The wet towel wasn’t doing much anymore but it was all he could do beside keeping her hydrated, putting the towel aside, he took her hand in his and brought it to his lips.Her skin was too hot on his cold lips, but he didn’t mind, for she was always reverse, while he was evil and dark, she was good and bright, he was cold while she was warm, and he wondered if that was what pulled them toward each other, or at least pulled him towards her, for she was everything he was missing, pure, kind, and lighthearted.Kissing
"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
"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,
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? What w
"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
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
“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
