All Chapters of The Princess And The Demon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Sara stared at the running water with a disinterested gaze as she sat by the riverside, a basket of cranberries next to her. She couldn’t stop herself from coming to this particular spot in every given opportunity, not knowing exactly why. There was no guarantee that the young man who saved her might show up again in that place but her desire to see him again was too strong to resist.What a strange situation the one she was in, she remembered returning to the shack after that day, overwhelmed by the strange mixture of embarrassment and happiness, and even though she knew no one was following her, she couldn’t help but walk fast, almost running. Once she was inside, she closed her door and placed her hand on her chest, sensing her erratic heart beats that refused to calm down, incontrollable smiles showed on her face like spasms. She was hot, as if placed on a boiling pan, she fanned her face while walking to her mirror, only to be met with a shocking sight.

Sara stood under the large tree, rubbing her palms together after blowing some hot air on them for some warmth while watching the heavy rainfall. She was drenched and cold, freezing even, the green branches didn’t provide the optimum protection from the cold droplets but it was still better than standing in the open sky. She shivered as she looked at her left and right, hoping to see any sign of Eren.Sara remembered the day she ran back to the shack after spending the day with her dear -and only- friend, she expected to find her father already there, waiting for her angrily with a long list of investigating questions, she thought about tens of excuses to tell him, and none of them included the truth as she knew he would be furious about it, she knew he would forbade her from meeting Eren again and even move her somewhere else, away from him.Sara didn’t know when her handsome savior became that important to her. in the beginning of their friendship, she be

“Well...” Sara looked at Eren with worried eyes, hoping he would understand the reasons that prevented her from telling him the truth, “I always knew you were hiding something, but I never imagined it was this…”, Eren couldn’t hide his surprise as he stared at her with raised eyebrows, “So you are the king’s daughter…”“Illegitimate daughter…”, she corrected him in a small voice, she wanted him to not neglect that fact as she knew how unaccepted bastards were in their kingdom, she wanted to know his reaction and his thoughts about the matter but his face remained the same, not a single emotion passed through his eyes as he kept on staring at her in the same way, the impossible one to read.“So?”, noticing the way she was looking at him, Eren asked her, thinking there was more to her weird story, but the girl’s eyes were suddenly clouded with sadness, breaking their eyes c

Eren stared at the silver haired girl as she ate her food happily, savoring each bite, she tried to hide her enjoyment out of decency as it wasn't so lady like to eat much but her transparency betrayed her, she was way too obvious and pure for her own good, not that he could blame her considering the kind of life she had, the sight of her face and eyes as she stared at the night sky for the very first time was engraved in his memory for the rest of his life, a pure joy of something everyone else took as normal, like an innocent child looking at a magician's show in a croud of adults, seeing her like that, he felt a strange feeling washing over his heart, he somehow wanted to offer the kid more cotton candy just to be able to see his priceless expression and sparkling eyes, she looked so beautiful and breathtaking in that moment, wearing her innocence and transparence like a halo, she looked truly out of this world, he couldn’t imagine what kind of life the poor thing must have

Katherina stared calmly at the king, trying to conceal her emotions under a cold façade, it was equally painful for her to see her beloved husband in such a state, Edard was always a dignified man and a dominant king with a powerful presence, to witness him like that, looking like a wounded animal struggling to attack what he thought was his predator wasn’t the best sight for her eyes…“What have you done to me?” Edard asked in a small voice while his wide eyes stared at the bloodied bandage above his knee, right where his now amputated leg used to be, he refused to believe it at first, telling himself he was dreaming, that all of this was but a nightmare but the pain was too real to be made by imagination, and so was the bitter truth.“I saved your life...”, At her sudden words, the king glared sharply at his wife, thinking she was mocking him but he was met with nothing but an utterly serious face…The king st
