Chapter Twenty Five: Family Portrait
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sara took a deep breath once she was alone in the bathroom cabinet, trying to calm her heart and mind. After living her life in total solitude, she couldn’t imagine that there would be a time when she would wish to be left alone so bad the way she does now, even for few minutes.
Sara wanted to sit down for a moment, regain her composure and think about her next move but she didn’t want her dress to be dirtied by any chance, she still had to walk out of there looking as good as before and find her way out as soon as possible before anyone from her sister’s party sees her.
Sara was truly shaken by the encounter, for she had touched something very kind and pure in her sister even if things went sour shortly after, she still kept the first impression she had about Nara, a beautiful kind soul that does not hesitate to help others, she smiled warmly, allowing herself to feel happy for a second for finally meeting her sister, her family.

“Don’t you dare lie to me for I know exactly who you are, Sara.” The queen said in a cold voice, her words coming sharper than blades, her eyes lost all the softness they had earlier and stared at her with a deadly glare.Sara wanted to gulp but even that was impossible with how dry her throat felt at the moment, not to mention she was petrified, she feared that even that small motion of gulping would send her head across the room as she notices the guards had their hands on their sword handles, ready to decapitate her if she made one wrong move.Sara felt exposed to her bare skin when she heard the queen say her name, she had some hope before, to tell another lie and stall a little until she is able to make it to the carriage, but the queen had blown that off entirely and pinned her to a corner without even moving, her cold blue eyes were more than enough as she stared at Sara with enough intensity to murder her if looks could kill.“I&h

Recommended song for this chapter: avava Inouva, IdirThis cannot be happening…It can’t be real…Sara thought as she held her head between her hands, her breaths coming out in small loud gasps, too absorbed in her thoughts and horror to even try and calm herself, her heart was beating like a drum, the violent pulsations resonating in her ears, and every cell in her body shivered with fear.She didn’t care about the small carriage speeding up, she didn’t care about the bumpy road that cause her to be thrown off her seat several times, she didn’t care about how dark nor cold it was inside the carriage.She didn’t even realize, for she was imprisoned inside a toxic bubble of doubts and fears, she was reliving the whole night in her head over and over again, for the first few times, everything looked so magical and surreal, the feeling of being carried above the clouds washed over her, and a faint smiled gra
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Eight: The Demon's Den
“It is getting denser day by day. My Lord, and closer to our borders.” Eren only nodded at the old man standing a couple of steps behind him while they both stared outside the black glass.The glass tower was one of his favorite places in the world, it highest room, where he was standing now, had only the four pillars and the roof made out of stones, the walls were completely made of black yet translucid volcanic glass, allowing him to watch his empire from all directions.The shadows empire.For centuries the humans thought that the outcaste demons were living like wild animals in the dark forest, lurking around like rogues, hunting and feeding on everything that moved, and it was true at first. The demons, right after being cursed and banned by the so-called Gods, had no idea how to survive in those impossible conditions right at the edges of the world were darkness and death took over, and the sun never graced the lands with its warmth and light.
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Twenty Nine: His Reality
“Wa…ta…” Sara whispered again, her mind swinging from consciousness to unconsciousness, she had barely any recollection of what happened to her, just scary fragments that couldn’t be true, she didn’t know why was she feeling that horrible pain and dryness in her throat, all she knew was she needed water, badly.She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt so heavy, she tried to open them several times but it was useless not to mention painful, and the dull pain in her face was slowly getting stronger, her shoulders felt as if they were about to split and have her arms ruptured from the rest of her body, her wrists were pressed against something cold and painful.That wasn’t what bothered her the most though, Sara thought, it was instead the way she felt her entire body being pulled down as if the gravity had intensified, as if she was falling down but not hitting any bottom.“Wat…er” Sara mumbled
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Thirty: Broken
“Comfortable, My fair lady?” Eren asked in the calmest tone while looking straight at the girl’s teary eyes, as if he didn’t just break most of her bones then whipped her with metal whips, ones that caused her skin to bust open with it lashes.Sara couldn’t even scream anymore, she gave up screaming after the first few whips, not only she didn’t have any strength left in her to scream, not only her throat was too painful to make such high noises, but her screams seemed to satisfy the monster in front of her, it seemed to make him more cruel and thirsty for her pain, the louder she screamed the harsher his torture became.Instead of screaming, Sara decided to hold her breath with each hit, not that it made things easier, in fact, each time she felt the whip make contact with her skin she thought it was fire initiated on that spot then spread all over body, her lungs would burn as air escaped them, only to be stuck in her throat, each
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Thirty One: First Meeting
“What have you done to her?” Geraldine flinched and took few steps back, terrified by the way the shadows lord was looking at her while radiating with that terrifying aura of his.It was uncommon, rare even, to see Eren burst out like this, he was known to be a cold hearted person whose every move and word were planned, it was one of the things that lead him to be the lord of the shadows empire without him having any heritage and claims over the lordship position, the shadow lord was not only strong but also smart, sharp, and very efficient when it came to controlling his barely existing emotions.However, he was seething with anger as he stood in the cell in front of the unconscious hybrid, his eyes completely red and black, his fury palpable in the air and his shadows danced around the dark cell like hidden wolves, his fists clenched tightly to the point where his veins were visible.“Answer me!” Geraldine gasped and took a jump back, o
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Thirty Two: Collapsing Dream
“The hybrid had fallen into the hands of the demons!” Henry raised his eyebrow at his raging brother sitting across the desk, the second prince, who was a manly version of his twin, Nara, was trembling with anger, the young king wanted to ask his brother of how he knew about such news, as he himself only learned from the demon they captured, but the prince barely gave him any chance to as he kept on raging about the matter.“She was right here, and she slipped away!”“We didn’t know it was her at the time, Nicholas.” Henry sighed, tired of his brother talking over and over about the matter, the girl he met that night was indeed unique but he never thought she was his half-sister, nor the hybrid the demons were after, no wonder he felt that close to her.There were no doubts left that the half-sister they never knew was the hybrid the demons wer
The Princess And The Demon Chapter Thirty Three: Fears And Voices
Sara opened her eyes slowly, the heavy eyelids not helping her at all, but on the good side there was barely any light to adjust to, just a fading orange flame somewhere in the place she was in casting a faint light and creating dancing shadows.Before she could even draw her first conscious breath, Sara was yet again attacked by the memories of all the things that happened to her in the last days, she froze, not daring to even breath, too afraid it would alert the monsters.The lump that gathered in her eyes was painful, heavy, and big. However, she didn’t dare to swallow it, what if the demoness was still there? Waiting for her to wake up just to torture her into unconsciousness again?Sara, being her father’s precious daughter, grew up without receiving a single hit in her life, her father was the kind to use emotional blackmailing against her when he wanted to punish her, while the priests never dared to raise a hand on her, not even in that time

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?

"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
