All Chapters of The Enigmatic Demon Duke's Desire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The warm summer seems to be warmer than usual. My whole body is laying over the blanket of grass, I covered my eyes as I looked at the blue sky. Wait...  Is it really blue? Or was it gray? My vision's blurry. I can't gather my thoughts as to what I am doing. Why am I in this situation? Then I remembered the carriage I was in, we got into an accident, the horses suddenly ran havoc and we ended up on the cursed rose valley that the travelers should be avoiding. I suddenly feel a faint twitching of my limbs, from my shoulder down to my thighs. As if I am paralyzed. The wind kisses my skin, and I savor the faint smell of the citrus scent.I remember that I hate the sour taste of fruits. It also reminded me of how sour my life has been until now.

Tears dried and the swollen eyes still did not injustice the beauty of the young lady who is in her early teens. The nobles and relatives who have come to the funeral of the Le Blanchet couple and their son, can't keep their eyes off from the lonely Veta. The said young lady has been known in the society because of her beauty, even though she has yet to make her debut, the fact that the family name has been known in the business, her existence as the eldest child and treasured daughter of the Le Blanchet made her the infamous lady that even other noble daughters envied. Intelligence, charming personality, wealth and status, Veta Le Blanchet who is a fortunate child lost everything in a night.

What was that yelling?” a young child came running down from the second floor and saw the horrible scene.“S-sister Veta!” He panicked as he saw the thin body of the young child slumped on to the floor with messy hair, wearing the outworn indoor dress she has been wearing for years is no longer be repairable as it was torn by the sleeves and the buttons were pulled out.It seems like she was not only slapped but also grabbed by the hair as well as the struggle causing her clothes to be ruined. Immediately the young child removed his jacket, even though he has a smaller frame than Veta, he managed to cover the front area of his sister as the old camisole

“ Get the horse! The demon will follow the smell of blood!” Gautbert screamed to the remaining mercenaries who were able to stand against the demons attacking them. “ My lord, the lady is hurt!” Said the young mercenary who was guiding the carriage, he was about to jump on his way to help the bleeding noblewoman when an arm halted him and grabbed his collar. “ Stupid mercenary! I shot her to be the bait! Let us go now!” Gautbert shouted from his lungs with his eyes wide open and bloodshot, his knees trembling and in so much panic. “ What? You get in trouble just to bring the lady out of the mansion and now we are leaving her?” The young man was confused, of course, as they were initially hired to escort the merchant as soon as they got the lady out of the mansion.
