“You seem to be more troubled this days. Is there something bothering you?” A faint, worried voice attended her ears as the low footsteps walked into the room. Elaine settle the tray on the table as she poured her a cup of tea. Jeulle withdraw the pen on her hand and slowly took a sip. She then shifted her gaze on her friend’s anxious face. Elaine, receiving a strange look from her felt a bit uneasy, she pursed her lips and finally found the courage to speak up her mind. “Maybe, it was really a bad idea to accept the prince’s proposal. He suddenly left without a trace as soon as you approve. Maybe you should—” Elaine flinched and instinctively lowered her head after sensing a dangerous gaze from her. Jeulle’s face was contorted into a deep frown as she look at her with a hint of dismay. She stared at Elaine for a sec and didn’t speak, only, only giving her a weird, unfathomable look as if she was saying an absurd joke. Jeulle chortled a bit as she stared at her with subtle tension
”My Lord, a human broke into the boundaries. Should we bring him to you?” Dev asked as she cupped her hand towards the two person sitting in one chair. Hellion simply sat on Xegris lap while the demon occasionally twirl her hair around his fingers. He would sometimes touched her ears making the human felt utterly embarrassed. What is this bast*rd doing in front of Dev! Hellion thought as she covered her face in shame. Xegris just chuckled at her shyness as he grin like a fool in front of his servants. Dev cleared her throat as she avert her gaze to her side. The twin also ignored the picture and just remain in silence. Soon, Xegris finally felt their presence in the room as he roughly turned his head towards the three. “Just let him be.” “Yes, My Lord.” Dev said as she respectfully bowed at him. Xegris then waved his hand seeming to lose interest in the topic anymore. He cast them away from the room and finally turned her attention towards the woman on his lap. Xegris let out a p
Clsnk! The cup shattered on the ground. Dev trembled as the sharp gaze pierced through her flesh. The Lord was benevolent enough to let them accompany Her Highness on the street however because of their negligence, she was force to recuperate back to her room. Xegris clawed his hair up as the veins popped on his forehead. His crimson eyes were brimming with fury. He was only away for a while but his wife suddenly collapsed! Who wouldn’t be mad at that? How stupid can this servants be?! Dev lowered her head, her body shaking with fright. She then cupped her trembling hands and blurted out the truth. “My Lord, The Queen only took a bite on the bun and suddenly collapsed. She…she would be better after a while…” She said in a shaky voice. The sweat poured out like a stream of fear, trickling down her cheeks as the throat suddenly became sparse. Dev gulped down, trying to pull herself back to her original composure. “What?!” Xegris almost choked out of anger. He clearly told them not
“Your Highness!” Hellion slowly opened her eyes as the white ceiling greeted her sight. The whole room was filled with noise, Dev screams in joy, the stomping of feet followed on the corridor as the sound echoes to her side. All this sound was filtered like the person on the bed seems to be deaf, everything was not heard at all. Hellion blinked, reality still haven’t catch up to her yet. Her mind was afloat because of the poison. She moved her fingers a bit as the numbness start to tingle on the tips. She look beside her, the door was wide opened and np one was around, probably because the three rushed out to call the Demon Lord. But, she rather felt sad seeing no one was beside her when she woke up. The girl slowly sat up on the bed and had a deep sigh. The dream felt so real that her head still throbbed because of the vivid memory. The smell of the medicine still linger on her body. They must’ve look after her all this time. ‘Haha’ Who knows what they put on the bread making her
The princess was attached to the Demon Lord. There’s no point pursuing her anymore. Kieffer shook his head as he looked at the two people trying to hide their feelings to each other. They must be thinking that the other won’t reciprocate their feelings but seeing them being together was painful than he thought. What should I do now. I came here too late, Just recalling the day she hugged the Demon King on her own accord and in front of him was painful enough but now they’re flaunting the lovey-dovey atmosphere in front of him more. It seems like a warning that no one is allowed to go between them. Kieffer ah… It looks like your unrequited love cannot be recognized. It’s time to give up. No, not yet. Kieffer clenched his fist. It’s not over yet, the princess lost her memories and when the time comes she finally recalled everything… She’ll come back to me. Kieffer finally walked away from the garden. It’s painful seeing you happy with someone other than me. It hurts so much that yo
Everything seems to be vague and blurry. Who’s that person shouting in front of me? Hellion wrinkled her brow in her sleep. She seems to be dreaming of the past but why is the scenery so hazy. Hellion tossed and turned on the bed. Her head was suddenly filled with noise. Someone’s screaming inside her brain and why is that voice so familiar to her? Is it someone she knew? Hellion furrowed her brows even more as the conversation started to speaking in her head. ‘Do you really value your life so little that you even wanted to die?’ exhaled the person looking at her, Her face was blurry and unidentifiable making Hellion confused. ‘We have no choice’ She heard her own voice. ‘What can we do? We’re bound to separate anyway’ Is she really the one who said that? What’s up with this dream? Hellion slowly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She held her head that’s been throbbing for a while and finally looked ahead. She’s in the room and it’s about time the sun should rise up in the sk
“Yo~” Kieffer waved his hand to his pal. Xegris just gave him a resentful glare aa if already driving him away. What is he still lingering here for anyway? He should hurry up and scram to his own realm so that he could disappear in his sight. “What? You’re still not leaving?” Xegris said in an annoyed tone as he stared daggers at him. “I am, just wanna say my goodbyes to my own pal.” Kieffer just smiled ad usual at him. However it can be seen that his eyes were filled with sadness and envy. “Haaah…then go away. Your existence is not needed here.” Xegris bluntly replied. “Well, take care of her. She loves you doesn’t she? If you hurt here then I won’t hesitate to take her away.” “You-“ “See ya.” Kieffer just said as he finally turned his head and walked away from him. “….” —• “Shlnk” The troops halted in front of the empty field. Jeulle walked towards the seemingly barrier-like atmosphere and finally held out her palm to touch the surface. Heh. It seems she finally found the
“What’s wrong?” Dev instinctively looked up the sky as the swirling black clouds formed into the center. The fog thickens as the atmosphere turned bleak as if a warning that a calamity is about to reign upon them. It looks like the time of judgement has come. The feared revelation finally knocked on their doorsteps. The trio surveyed the clouds as a tacit understanding lead to them vanishing into a thin smoke. In the crow forest, the demon girl appeared. The trees that wilted and dried up are now drenched in fresh blood. The crows on the branches let out a cry of joy. It seems like they are in a feast with many corpses laying in the ground. Dev wrinkled her brow as she instantly activated her clairvoyant spell. It took a moment before she finally saw what happened before her. A thousands of troops marching towards the bloody mountain as the whole army was led by a person who look exactly like the Demon Queen. The demon gasped as the fear in her eyes flared. This is clearly an inva
