Felen is currently in front of the similar black door from before, still with a dazed face after exiting Belphegor's room. She even chose to sit for a moment in the chair Leon provided while hugging the blanket that Belphegor had given her. Her brain was still processing what had just happened."I don't understand," Felen mumbled quietly."What is it, Milady?" Leon who had just came out of the door of Belphegor chimed in. He took the chair in front of her.They did not go straight to the remaining doors, but chose to relax while enjoying Darjeeling Tea. The white room with rows of black doors was so quiet that she could hear her breathing very clearly."He let me go," she said referring to Belphegor."He did that so you could get out of his room quickly, and he could continue sleeping, undisturbed." Leon handed over the black pouch where Felen kept the aphrodisiac and necklace, ordering her to keep the blanket Belphegor gave her in it instead of hugging the blanket with her arms and m

"What does all this mean? What's your reason for making my mother a victim?" Abelard was facing Barend in his study room after waiting for his father for kore tto come home from the town next door for over a week. He tried to keep his voice from going up a few octaves, though an annoyed snarl escaped his lips several times."It's your fault, Abelard. I've order you to find women who will be sacrificed, but you just disappeared somewhere," replied Barend spilling the blame on Abelard. He was still sitting quietly while smoking a cigar. There was no trace of guilt on his face after killing his two wives."Too bad the ritual still failed." Barend sighed with a gloomy face.In his place, Abelard was holding back his wrath. His hands were clenched into fists and his jaw tightened. Even though he tried to hide his hatred, the way Abelard looked at Barend showed how much hatred he had for him.Abelard wanted to kill Barend right away. However, he held back because he was still a nobody in th

Although Leon had ordered Felen to sleep and rest, she couldn't sleep in the least bit. She stayed awake all night without even closing her eyes once. As a result, grayish black shadows were formed under her eyes. Her face looks wistful with tired lines. She sighed tiredly. This was the third time this morning she had been sighing. A proverb says that happiness will disappear if she continued to sigh. However, for her happiness had long gone from her life so no matter how many times she sighed it wasn't a big deal."Miss, would you like some more?" asked one of the bunnies seeing that her cup was empty."Yes, please." Felen replied briefly with a faint smile. She was waiting for Leon's arrival to talk about Barend like he had said last night. She didn't know where the demon went so early in the morning. He had disappeared from her room while she was bathing and getting dressed.She took a sip of her tea, and a domineering and slightly sweet and bitter aroma mixed in her mouth. A tas

The long awaited day had finally came. Felen's fingers squeezed together nervously. She had a mixed feelings as she took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat and nervousness."Are you ready?" Leon had stayed beside Felen, waiting for her to get ready.They were in the Forest of Wonders, right in front of The World Tree which was one of the entrances to the human world. Leon actually suggested Felen to just use his teleportation instead of going through The World Three. However, at the request of hid bride who wanted to go to the labyrinth first, they ended up passing through The World Tree."Let's go." She grabbed her hand that was stretching towards her. Then, they passed through a black portal that appeared in the center of The World Tree. The portal looked awful, but once she entered it, there was nothing different or special about the place other than the predominant black color.There was a hidden fear inside her. She kept imagining that the black portal would suck her in and loc

The plan for lunch with Abelard was canceled, and Felen was invited to join him for breakfast instead. Only the two of them were in the dining room. Leon chose to stay in the room with Gruga with the excuse of wanting to give Felen, and Abelard a room to talk freely together.Felen had done her breakfast and was currently drinking tea with Abelard. The atmosphere in the dining room is quiet. Only Felen and Abelard's soft exhalations were the only sounds. The maids had long gone to make room for them, but since then Abelard had not made a conversation yet, her anxiety getting stronger. She glanced at Abelard several times, then at the clock which was oddly not ticking. It was as if time had stopped in that room."What do you want to say, Abelard?" Abelard didn't appear to intend to immediately explain what he said at that time, until Felen took the initiative on her own. Her voice trembled slightly. Not because she was nervous, but because her instinctive anxiety indicated that what A
