All Chapters of BETROTHED TO THE DEMON KING: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Clair's p.o.vI stayed for hours waiting for Ose to come back. Since he left the room I decided to stay put and not do anything that would put my life in danger. It wasn't wise going around an unknown kingdom when I was their enemy, attacking him too was out of question. Besides liking his form, I didn't want to be attacked by all the demons and have my friends killed because of me.The fact that I was still alive was a good thing. Yesterday I panicked and acted rashly by attacking those demons in the dungeon. It was a wrong move that would have cost us all our lives. But after hours of thinking carefully, I decided to play my role of a slave very well, since I already liked what form my master had, it was going to be easy to have him lower his guard.While earning his trust, I was going to befriend the maiden and convince her to go back with us. If she agreed, I would proceed to study the whole kingdom and know where all entrances were. I would also know all the duties of each dem

Eleanor's p.o.v I couldn't believe the demon king spared her life. I was shocked at the same time I felt confused. When I looked up, I noticed the python demon looking down at me seriously. "Thank you." The woman behind me whispered while the demon generals left the room. I stood up and faced her as she did the same. At first I was in doubt that she was human, but when she wrote the name of our gods on my palm, I realized there and then that she really was. Because all demons knew of our gods, but there was never a day they wrote or called out their names. According to myths and stories, a demon who dared to call upon their names or write it down, faced a calamity. "I don't know why you are here but I'll tell you this honestly. The demon king doesn't hesitate to do as he pleases, mostly when he is angered. Today is the first time that he has shown mercy to a human without the demon python's plea. Next time he won't hesitate to kill any one of us if he is angered again." I said s

Ducan's p.o.v"Was I rough with you?" I asked seriously while we walked to the cottage.Her lips were a bit swollen and redish. She looked at me then shook her head."No." She answered softly.I could tell that she wasn't being honest with me because I was really rough with her. Her neck had little hickeys on the side and all because I got excited over hearing her words.When she said all that to me, I felt very happy and I couldn't stop myself from kissing her in the manner I wanted.I felt so confident in telling her who I truly was, just not at that moment. When everything was settled with the human slaves that still held bad intentions for us, I was going to come clean.But first I had to wait for the right time.After the kiss, I decided to go to my late mother's cottage with her so that we can spend some quality time together, as well as to calm myself down."I'll say this again. This place is beautiful." She whispered then walked ahead to the well.I stopped walking then glanc

Eleanor's p.o.v I looked at the open door seriously then composed myself and walked into the bedchamber. Ducan escorted me to the palace's entrance and went back after saying his goodbye. I felt nervous and I didn't know what to tell the demon king if he was to ask me where I went. When my eyes landed on him, I stopped walking and tensed. He sat on the bed with his robes slightly parted, revealing his chest. Although he didn't look upset, he didn't look happy either I lowered my gaze to the ground and waited for him to yell at me or order me to do something against my will. "Were you out for a walk?" He asked softly. I quickly looked up, surprised at his question and the tone of his voice. "Yes, I....I wanted to tour around the palace." I answered in a stammering voice. "Did anything catch your eye?" He asked seriously. I kept quiet for a few seconds, thinking hard on how to answer his question. "Yes, the flowers on the walls were quite unique." I answered then swallowed h

Ose's p.o.v I stood at the entrance to the kingdom with Oni beside me. Oni looked very focused and serious with his tight grip on his staff. When he reported to me over the hero's approach to our territory. I quickly rushed to the entrance expecting to find the generals ready, but they were nowhere to be seen. "Did you inform the generals?" I asked seriously. "Yes, I did." He answered calmly. I didn't understand why there was no one guarding the entrance!. They all knew their duties and how important it was to protect our kingdom!. What was so important that they could neglect their duties like this?. "Ose, even if they aren't here, we are. We can handle humans by ourselves." He said then looked at me seriously. "Of course, we pledged to protect our people and kingdom." I answered. The hero was hardly defeated because he was very strong and the gods seemed to favour him. Although he had no holy sword, he still had an anointed one, which was dipped in holy water. It was dange
