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
Ducan's p.o.v I watched sadly as she wrapped her arms around her legs leaning against the wall with her gaze fixed to the floor. A few hours had gone by in silence but she was still sobbing and trying so hard not to make a sound. I wanted to ignore her but sadly I couldn't. My heart was aching over seeing her this sad and my hands were itching to touch her. I couldn't understand why I felt that way. What exactly was I to do if she didn't even want me close?. I stood up from the bed and moved closer to her. She quickly buried her face in her lap as her sobs got loud. I touched her head gently releasing my magic. "Sleep." I whispered softly as her sobs stopped and her breathing stabilized. I carefully moved and lifted her in my arms. Her face was wet and her eyes were slightly sore. I moved her to the bed and carefully put her down to rest while I sat at the edge next to her. "Serve me." I whispered as the twin fairies appeared. They were the only ones I summoned without a n
Eleanor's p.o.vI was woken up by loud movements that scared me. I blinked a few times as I quickly sat upright.Ducan sat in front of me with a smile.His hair was tied neatly in a half low bun and he wore a red expensive robe that was made out of silk and a beautiful flower design."Morning." He greeted me softly.I frowned then quickly looked around to see if the demon king was around. The last memory I had of him was when he approached me and touched my head."Eleanor." He called, getting my attention."You can't be in here Ducan, you can't." I said strongly.I was scared of what he would do to him, if he found him sitting next to me on the bed."Relax, the demon king has stepped out of the palace to handle a few private matters. Once a week he does that and it takes him approximately sixteen hours to return." He answered as I sighed in relief."What of the servants?" I asked seriously.Even though the demon king wasn't in the palace, his servants were. If they saw Ducan go in a
Zara's p.o.v "Son, try and eat something please. It took me a lot of hours to prepare this." My mother whispered softly. I glared at her coldly then stood up from the bed. She was to be blamed for everything that was upsetting me. If she didn't agree to give Eleanor to the demon king, she would have been here next to me. "How do you expect me to eat happily when my future concubine is obviously warming the bed of our enemy!" I exclaimed furiously. She moved closer and pressed her hand on my shoulder. "Son, there are a lot of women who want you in this village, even girls of your age would love to have you as a husband in future." She said as I furiously hit her hand. "I don't want girls and women. I want Eleanor." I said with emphasis. She frowned for a second before walking out of my bedroom without a word. My plans were ruined!. Everything was now going the wrong way. Right now I had no power or great connections with anybody because I wasn't a chief yet, although that did
