15. Circus Animal
The night is still long as the madness of the humans continues. However, Felen, who could not witness all that, begged Leon to let her out of that cursed place.
“Leon, I want to get out of here.” Her grip on his arm tightened as the sighs, groans, and growls of the humans grew louder.
“Please...” She gave up, lowering her ego so Leon would let her go.
“Very well.”
She was lucky because this time he didn’t refuse it. He helped her by supporting her waist. Her nauseous made her vision blurry and so did her focus.
“The human body is indeed weak,” he said with pity.
She did not respond to his blatant ridicule. She was already struggling enough to support his own body. Responding to him only drained her energy even more.
“Do you want me to help you?”
She ignored him and continued walking towards the door that seemed awfully far away.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to carry you up?”

The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 16. The Seed of Hatred
The night sky had taken over by a shining sun. Yet Felen’s journey in the human world — her hometown, still continuing. After a melodrama due to witnessing an incident that became a traumatic experience, Leon brought her to a different place. However, unlike before, where he used invisible magic so other humans wouldn’t notice their presence, this time he and Felen blended with them. They were like a couple on a date, holding hands together. She just followed him without saying much. She was still in a state of confusion and shock. Her mind wandered elsewhere. She didn’t even realise she almost hit a street lamp pole in front. People passing by made her head dizzy. The bright and warm sunlight against her skin, the happy sound of a child running in a small alley, a vehicle driving down the street, the shops lined up, the sound of birds chirping, and a cat meowing — it all seemed unreal to her. She felt like she was in a long dream.
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 17. The Beginning
The greatest loss of human beings is when they are being abandoned or betrayed. *** “So what do you want to do, Milady?” Leon asked. He stood beside Felen, waiting for the decision his future bride would make. Right now, they were in a tall building that made it easy to see the surrounding area. Felen, who was spying Barend and his new family from quite a distance away, ignored his question. Her mind was in deep thought after seeing Abelard, who had grown up. He looked exactly alike to young Barend. They are like two peas in a pond. She was sure that no one would doubt him as Barend’s son, even if others knew he was from the slums. Something crossed her mind. She glanced at Leon. She assumed he knew what happened to her family. “What’s wrong? Do you want to ask something?” As if he had expected that she would ask something, he replied, with a teasing grin. She scoffed in disbelief. However, right
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 18. Deadly Poison
The Pandora’s box is opening. Between hope, despair, and awareness — which will come forth and welcome Felen later? *** Felen stepped into Leister’s manor with imperfect plans. She still wore an innocent-looking smile, hoping it would reduce Barend’s suspicion. She ignored the piercing gaze from Abelard. Not even once she glanced at him. She hated him for snatching her position, so she didn’t want to get involved with him anymore. Her goal is to avenge Aghnya on Barend. “You’d better change your clothes first, then come have dinner with us,” Barend said to her. “The maid will help you with all your needs.” A maid approached Felen. She bowed respectfully, then escorted her upstairs. The maid leads her to her childhood room before moving to the west building. When the large doors opened wide, every corner of the room was clearly visible. The whole interior had changed from what she remembered. No more child
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 19. See You Later
What does a family mean? *** ‘Deadly poison?’ The corners of Felen’s lips rose, showing a wide grin that could make others shiver with horror. A second later, her expression distorted. Regardless of Leon’s true intentions, she thanked him for telling her that information or else it would lead to her death. She turned around and grabbed Abelard’s hand. Surprise flashed in his clear green eyes, seeing Felen’s demeanour changed 180 degrees, as if their conversation earlier had never happened. It confused him, yet he got along with her plans. “Let’s go together, Abelard,” she said in a cheerful voice. Barend noticed Felen and Abelard. He greeted them with a fake smile. She realised it, yet she smirked with a stony gaze as an intimidating aura emitted from her. She is not naïve. Her instincts had sensed that Barend plotted something behind the ‘loving father’ attitude he showed. “Papa.” Felen t
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 20. Devil Hearted Man
Humans often exceed our expectations, the demons. *** Barend’s room was right in front of her, but Felen still didn’t dare to enter it. Horror and anxiety stuffed her as memories of her childhood time was dashing through her mind. Death and being on the verge of death were her greatest fear. She had experienced it two times at all. As Abelard had told before, her life might be in danger. Her father would kill her tonight. The chance was high. “Are you hesitating because your fear is greater than your thirst for revenge or your beloved brother’s words influenced you?” Leon revealed his death god-like figure in front of her. “How weak!” he boosted, insulting her again. “I’m not weak!” She scoffed. The way he belittled her in every chance pissed her off. He crossed his arms in a daunting, haughty manner. His gaze demanded her to complete her plan right now. “Then do it. I gave you the dagger
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 21. The Maze
Humans are full of surprises. *** Felen’s body shook with anger. Her adrenaline was racing, and she craved to vent his resentment by crushing Barend. The small dagger in her pocket was keen to be used to torture his father. However, the ropes tying her hands, feet, and upper body restricted her from performing it. She looked back up at Leon, who kept ignoring her. “Untie me, Leon!” This time, there was no pleading tone in her voice. She told him to help her untie the ropes that bound her entire body. “Why should I do such a troublesome thing, Felenia?” He grinned. The scene in front of him was quite enjoyable, but he had no intention of doing something without being paid handsomely. Her brain thought hard about what could draw him. Then, she said what runs into her mind without a second thought. “I’ll show you an amusing show.” There was not the slightest hesitation in her voice when she said those words
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 22. The Maze (b)
Let your soul sink deeper and deeper and I’ll welcome you in the bottomless abyss. *** The sky was getting darker and louder than the thunder. The humid air and the powerful smell of soil and plants show that rain will soon fall on the earth. It just waited for the right time to pour the water above the clouds. The wind came from the west was blowing hard and touched Felen’s pale cheeks. The weather was getting worse. It might even be more difficult for her to traverse the maze. Since Barend chased her out and aimed for her life. “Felenia!” His father’s voice resonated again. She didn’t move an inch from her position while covering her mouth with both hands. Hoping he wouldn’t find her hiding place. Sweat covered almost all over her body as she held her breath. She was too tired. Yet her sense worked well. The night with fog didn’t prevent her from seeing her surrounding. She could also hear his low footsteps in
The Lucifer's Bride (English Ver.) 23. The Dream
Dream is the first thing people abandon when they understand how this world works.***A month in the human world has passed. Though in the demon world, it’s only been a few days and Felen hadn’t woken up from her slumber. The honey brown-haired girl with beautiful jade-coloured eyes was still in the dream maker’s arms while lying comfortably on the soft bed with velvet sheets.She wouldn’t notice that there was a figure seeing her in the distance. Her silk nightgown looked dreamy, revealing the seductive curves of her virgin body.There was no voice in the room other than her breath, giving off a peaceful vibe. At the far end of the room, Leon observed her with a curious look. He hadn’t been absent from visiting her since she returned to the demon world. He checked her every two hours and made sure there were no oddities that might endanger her life.Once or twice in a day, he had witne
