Eleanor's p.o.v I waited patiently for his answer. When he burst out in laughter startling me, I took a step back. No, that lord was reserved, there was no way he was the one. Was this another demon using his face to torture me!. "Are you sent here by the demon king to torture me by using my past memory?" I asked furiously. He stopped laughing then moved closer. "I don't know how you can see past the illusion I have created. Is it because you hold the favor of the gods?" He asked in a low tone, not making sense. "Answer me demon!" I yelled then flinched when my injury began to hurt badly. "I'm impressed that you can remember me after all those years." He said as I shook my head in denial. No way was he the one!. How was he not aging after all those years!. The only answer I could think of was that he was a demon. "You aren't human are you?" I asked in a low tone. "I am half demon and half human. My father was a demon while my mother was a human." He answered, shocking me.
Ducan's p.o.v I walked out of the dungeon with the human girl in my arms. She was unconscious from the pain and healing energy I had used on her. Her words were still playing in my mind and I couldn't hold back from smiling. She had a chance to refuse both of my requests yet she accepted one. Was she that desperate to leave this territory?. She was even willing to search for the holy sword that was hard to find, if not impossible. When I walked into my room, I moved to the bed and carefully put her down. Her cheeks were still wet from the tears and she looked peaceful with her eyes closed. I moved my hand wiping off her tears before sitting down next to her. I hated humans so damn much and I didn't like her. The only reason she was back in my room was because I was very intrigued by her actions. She was rather stupid to believe me so easily just because I was half human and she had met me before in the past. If she was to find out who I truly was, she would make sure to never
Eleanor's p.o.v I ran as quickly as I could, looking back a few times to make sure no one had seen and followed me. When the demon king left the room, I took it as my chance to run away. Although I knew nothing about the place, finding the border and exit wasn't going to be hard because a lot of warriors who tried to enter the demon kingdom found it easily. The only guilt I felt was because I went against the lord's suggestion and plan of helping me out. He was the only one that showed me kindness in that moment, sadly I did not trust him because he was still half demon. His loyalty lay to the demon king and I wasn't going to let him hand me over to him or even worse tell him my plans of escape. It was getting dark and hard to see but I could at least make out a few things around me. I wasn't going to stop or give up the way to my freedom. I was about to take another step when I fell with a loud scream. Fear washed through me as my heart picked up. I was going down. I was fal
Eleanor's p.o.v "Here we are." Ducan whispered softly once we were at the palace entrance. "Aren't you going in with me?" I asked dumbly. "No. If the demon lord Sees me with you there is no telling what he would do to me." He answered then took a few steps back. I quickly turned and grabbed his hand. "When can I see you again?" I asked seriously. "Soon, just try not to run away again." He whispered then disappeared before I could say another word. I was startled by his disappearance but then again I remembered that he was a half demon so he had powers as well. I took in a deep breath and released it then walked past the entrance and kept on walking ahead. I had no idea where I was going because when I was running for my escape I paid no attention to the way or passages. "Excuse me." A male voice called from behind. I quickly turned and came face to face with a tall man. He had short black hair and brown eyes. "I still can't believe it's you, when I saw you walk into the pal
Ducan's p.o.v I lay on my side watching Eleanor who was sitting on the floor with her legs crossed and her back towards me. She was muttering offensive words here and there such as ugly, stupid and fool which weirdly I found funny. "Do you usually talk to yourself?" I asked seriously. When a minute went by I smiled widely. Were all humans like her?. I wondered. "Master." Missy called softly outside the door. "Enter." I answered. Missy was a succubus who was unlike any other. While most took fun in having sexual intercourse with sleeping Humans, she preferred her own kind and that had an effect on her which made her look younger than her actual age. Also she was among a few who called me master. She was the one in charge of bringing me and whichever guests I had food and water. She walked in with a tray of food on each hand. "Bed or desk master?" She asked. "Bed and floor." I answered. She put the food on my bed carefully then went to the girl and put the tray next to her.
Eleanor's p.o.v I closed my eyes upon calming down. A few minutes that felt like hours had gone by and I could still feel the burn hurting. The demon King's hatred and the way he wanted me dead scared me so much, but for a minute when he sat on the bed looking at me something felt different. And when he asked me if I usually spoke to myself I detected a friendly tone. In that moment thoughts of finding a way to kill him stopped. But now after going through such a phase yet again. I was so terrified for my life. Ducan was about to move when I tightened my grip on him. "Please don't leave me. He will rape me." I begged loudly as tears rolled on my cheeks. He sighed softly then grabbed my arms, removing them from around his neck. "Eleanor." He called softly as I looked at him through blurry eyes. "The demon king might have gone out of his chambers but that doesn't mean he won't return. What happens if he finds me holding his wife?" He asked, then tried to push me from his lap. "
Missy's p.o.v"If I have been here for days, why aren't I hungry?" She asked, annoying me.She was acting like she had a smart mouth when she was sobbing like a damn coward a few minutes ago."You will with time." I answered as the water turned back to its normal color.She looked at the place where the bruise was then back at me.I gritted my teeth and tried hard to smile.If not for my master's orders I would have been far away from such a disgusting being. He strictly ordered me to pretend to be nice and I couldn't understand why.Not so long ago we hated the human race and wanted nothing to do with them!. Why was he acting differently?.I nearly lost my composure when he summoned me in a hurry.I couldn't have guessed it was all because of her, a human!.Looking at her closely she wasn't beautiful and her body wasn't all that!.I was more beautiful, sexy, appealing and powerful.Why wouldn't he look at me!.No matter what I did and how much I tried to seduce him he brushed me off!
Ducan's p.o.v I sat on my throne looking at the ancient witch coldly. "You summoned me great m...." "What's happening to me?" I asked seriously. She extended her hand and looked at the small black stone seriously while whispering a few ancient words. "Excuse me master but did you by chance touch a red rose today?" She asked as I frowned. She usually referred to me that way when we were alone and when something was serious. "Yes." I answered honestly. After I had escorted Eleanor back to the palace entrance, I disappeared and appeared close to my room. I needed to change my gowns and my form as soon as possible before she came into my chamber. I was about to move when a rose in a pot flower on the wall captured my attention. It was strange but looked very cute at the same time. My late mother loved flowers and usually took care of them, but ever since her passing I paid no attention to them and cared less. But then looking at it reminded me of Eleanor, so I moved and touched i
