Chapter XI - The Demon Lords

"Zeirux is the name given to me," he answers and before she could ask any more questions, he snapped his fingers and he was gone in an instant."What the heck?" Serra gasped. She knew this world is full of magic but to see him disappear like that shocks her. "I can never escape him if he can teleport!"The very next day, Serra woke up later than Zierux had expected so he teleported in her room. He got worried that the damn human who tricked him would get an upset stomach for not getting her meal at the right time. But as soon as he sees her in a messed-up sleeping position, he knew he was overreacting."Does she always sleep like this?" he mumbled, frowning as he strides towards her bed. Zierux stared at the priestess he once trusted, his eyes blazed with hatred at her betrayal. He can't seem to shake what had happened between them. That very night, he let himself feel what humans called love and on that same night, that feeling was taken away. A soft groan snapped Zierux out of his

Chapter XII - The Demon Lords II

The sight of food had Serra drooling and she could not help herself but dig in. She didn't care about what these men thought of her until this new guy asked. "Has the priestess always behaved like this?" She chokes on it and coughs, reaching for a glass of water. "I hear the Priestess is scary but I see you're a joker," he added.How do I act? she asked herself. How the hell does a priestess act? Ah! Right! Royalties in movies! I'm sure they use more words and go around the bush!Serra clears her throat and fixed her posture before smiling at Narth. "My apologies. I could not stop myself from seeing the delicious meal prepared. I shall keep in mind the persona that you have in me."The trembling of her legs was quite obvious to Narsh and he smiled it away. "Forgive my calling you a joker," he apologized and she flashes a smile. "From today on I will be attending you on the sideline. If I may ask, how are you finding the maids?""I just met them," she answers. It would be useful if

Chapter XIII- East Central Town

"This is my town?" Serra asked in disbelief, looking at her surrounding. It was packed with people since it was the central market where people bargains for their goods or sell off their potions or whatever things they have. "Life here is so simple!" Like the rural areas in the other world, this is so like it. There are stalls everywhere. She wonders if the outskirts of the land are as lively as the central city. Since they didn't have much time to explore, they needed to teleport here. She could not complain because if the Demon King knows of their disappearance, it will be an earful."The streets are packed so I suggest you don't wander too far, sister." Serra looks back and opened her palm which Narth had stared at with a raised brow. "And what is that?" he asked."Hold my hand so we don't lose each other," she cheerfully answered."I shall not," he said. The warmth was dangerous but he dare not say. "It is not good that I hold the hand of my brother's bride.""Ridiculous!" She in

Chapter XIV- Date

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Serra asked. Though she was unsure if it was what the Demon King wanted, she was sure he wanted to take her out."A d-date?" His face was messed up. "Yes! Like you taking me out to see my town and spending time with me is a date." "I've not heard of that but yes, it is what I am implying though it is not to spend time with you."Serra giggles. So men such as this demon have a soft side. She thought she'd be in trouble but it seems like they are pretty much getting along."Alright." She nods her head softly. "We didn't stay long earlier. Maybe it's more beautiful at night. Should I get changed?""No, human. You are to look like the townspeople. We don't want to stand out." Zierux moved his fingers inward, giving her a look. "Give me your hand, we're going to town."Serra knew that she would get the sick feeling of teleporting again but she really wanted to see what this world could offer her. So, she put her hand on his and while looking into his ey

Chapter XV: The Plan

"What do you mean, brother?" Narth asked with a frown. He doesn't quite understand his brother's plan. "The priestess is in her room!""You know well that she is far from the priestess who I adored," Zierux answered. He collapses on his couch and sighs deeply. "She could not recognize a Farasha and asked me instead if I know the lady."A Farasha is someone who resembles a butterfly, they can transform into one and they are highly capable of using powerful magic. Not everyone is blessed to be taught of their magic. As the priestess of the land and being one of a kind, Clairra is close to the Farashas teaching her their magic and how to summon a magical bow and arrows. "As I said, brother, you cannot bring back a dead soul. There's just no way to do that!""There is a way!" Zierux slammed his hands on the table. "I have spoken to Ammilya and she recommends the Sage of No Name. Clairra bargained her life and he should know how to get her back.""The mistress of evil, Ammilya?" Narth dis

Chapter XVI: Either

"Do you not have plans to renovate your castle?" Serra asked. They were in the garden just having an early stroll without the sun. It was mostly cloudy in the land of demons. "Why? Do you also think it's too gloomy?" Zierux asked."Yes," she frankly answered, shaking her head up and down. "Don't you got subjects to govern? What will they think if they see your castle like--""For half a century, demons have always lived like this. They are free to go wherever they please as long as they do not concern me.""But you are their king! You can state your command and they will follow.""The abyss has its own ruler," he spitefully said. "I can make them submit to me but the hassle of ruling is not to my liking. I would be responsible for their protection and that's killing the nature of a demon.""How would you know that killing and spreading monstrous acts are your nature?" she asked, frowning. He stopped walking and shifted his gaze to her. His eyes were like blue flames, it feels cool b

Chapter XVII: Sarah

(Serra's POV)It has been a week since Zierux started teaching me magic. I learned the basics of it but I had trouble memorizing spells and chanting them correctly. Still, in a week, I had learned so much from summoning essential elements to replicating certain things. Magic isn't the only thing I learned. The affection for someone else, I recognize myself gradually slipping into the concept. Whenever his hand touches mine, a rush of hot liquid would pump to my cheeks making them red. The way he would smile at me was blinding yet it makes me smile as well. The way he'd tell me to be careful was consistent and although he gets upset when I don't chant the right words, he would tell me it's fine, I can start again."Priestess!" I heard someone call so I raise my head and saw Narth coming forth. He looks like he is in a hurry. "The King won't be able to attend your meeting today. He has something urgent to get to."Although I was hoping to see him, I do understand he has got business so

Chapter XVIII : Feelings

Zierux POVThe moon was on its rise when I went back to my castle. Narth greeted me at the door with the news that the priestess was nowhere to be found. It had alarmed me but as soon as I saw her maid, I knew the human didn't have the courage to escape while leaving her maid behind."Can Sarah stay in my room?" the human asked but it was more a demand to my ears. I swear I could've won earlier but she has taken my heart as a hostage and I didn't want her out of my reach. "No. She can have her room beside your maid or let them sleep together if you worry too much about the kitsune.""Her name is Sarah, Zierux." She rolled her eyes at me. "I want her to stay with me until she's not scared of you anymore.""That is impossible," I told her. "She is a subject, I am her king. She will always fear me, human.""Can you stop calling me human? I am your bride and I have a name. Clairra!"This human has the talent to get on my nerves but I can't do anything because she cast a spell on me and

Chapter XIX - Bestfriends

Serra's POVI don't know what I was doing but it felt so familiar. His lips on mine were the softest that could brush mine. Why? Why does this feel like home?Regaining my senses was hard to do when I, myself, felt like I had missed this. I needed this. No matter if I was doing it right or not, I wanted its warmth so I returned his kisses. Until we ran out of breath and we stopped, resting our forehead on each other while his hand was still on my cheek.The moment I gaze into his soft eyes, he took a step back and I finally processed what we did. My cheeks were still burning so I looked away. Why did I do that?"I-I..."What do I say? Should I run from him? Should he say something?"Go tend your pet before I lose my mind and take you to my bed," he uttered.With those words, I immediately turned and stride inside. I didn't look back nor slow down until I reached a corner and hid. My legs were weak and so I dramatically fell on my knees.I couldn't see his face because he looked the ot

Chapter XX - Recollection

Serra's POVThe way Zierux treated me is the same as always. It was as if that kiss never happened and he's back to teaching me magic. Though it's better like this, I can't help but wonder what he's feeling."You're not focused enough, human. You're creating wools instead of gems," Zierux commented, his face remaining blank. "Focus so we proceed to another task. We've other things to do.""Like what? Do you have somewhere to be?" I asked with a raised brow."Since when were you curious about my whereabouts?""Since now." I gaze at him, arrogantly. "I dare to know of my future husband's meetings. I would appreciate it if you let me have a say in decision making."Zierux chuckles mockingly. "The spell you casted doesn't go beyond being someone I can't kill."It made me look away, pouting. It seems like we are still not that close for him to bring me wherever he is headed."That's alright." I inhaled deeply and flashed a sly smile. "I'll practice here so you could go and come check me a
