Odd, Odd

It appeared that whatever problems between Leon and Agares had been solved as the man had offered them to enter to his study room. Belle felt as though she had entered a forest of books as on her left and right side was tall walls of books. Even the floor was hard to step at with the amount of books scattered on it. Belle followed Leon’s steps as he had chosen the best path to walk without stepping on the books that she thought might be important for Agares. They were behaving agreeable to each other, she didn’t want her to be the reason for their fight. In the room, she was the only human. “Take a seat,” Agares pulled two chairs from the side after kicking all the books on the floor with his feet. Belle managed to take a seat as she had been weak from all her shocks and worries. Leon, on the other side chose to stand beside her. “If what you say is the truth, does t

A Consolation

Belle gulped on what she had heard. She saw Leon humming in a thought and stared at him as though waiting for his explanation. Hearing none, she interrupted, “My sister is a human.” “Of course she is,” Leon replied with a smile, “If not, you would not be a human either. What Agares meant is that someone had impersonated your sister. A demon had taken her appearance to cross over his land. Remind me again who might be good in impersonating people, Agares?” Agares in response, stayed quiet. He frowned to remember the demons he knew who might be skilled in taking other’s appearance. “Her, isn’t it?” Agares finally spoke up. “Kore. She must be in Hell. She loved to have a kingdom of herself, after all.” “That is where we are going then,” Leon responded. He then shifted his red gaze toward her. “A shame we didn&rsquo

Bride Blood

Leon raised his eyebrows hearing her words. Belle’s distaste was rare to see and he wondered which humans who could have make her displeased more than he did. A man who appeared to be miffed as the servant didn’t allow him to enter the manor was the first to notice Belle’s appearance. He quickly walked toward her, offering her a smile that was very pretentious to her eyes. “Lady Belle,” the man chimed. “You still remember me, don’t you?” Belle saw how his eyes looked back at his carriage, pointing how he worked under the authorities who ruled in the land to enforce the laws. But Belle who looked back at the carriage turned her eyes again to meet the man’s smiling eyes with her polite one. It wasn’t only him who could be pretentious.

Seeping In

The authorities are known as the enforcers of justice in the kingdom. For they work to balance the laws and to investigate the unfair deaths all around the kingdom. However, only a few knew the reality where their work doesn’t concentrate only in human’s problem but also the deaths caused by supernatural reasons. “It is true,” whispered Nimrod in agreement. “But that would mean either a witch had snuck inside the manor and killed the girl. But for a cowardly being like a witch, who is always careful on their plan, they must have sneaked inside the house and prepared this plan for a very long time before.” “I didn’t feel any presence of a witch and also a demon, but this possibility cannot be forgotten,” responded Arnold to which Nimrod agreed. “Although, after investigating the house, I felt no dark presence or dark magic. We can safely say that the witches’ summoning failed o

Fever Nightmare

Belle closed her doors, slipping underneath her comfortable duvet and closed her eyes. She was filled with anxiety pricking her skin but talking to Leon and faced with his odd quirks helped her to ease her nerves. Her eyes were closed slowly as sleepiness beckoned her to the darkness she yearned for. She didn’t know how long she had been asleep as it felt as though she had just closed her eyes when she heard whispers seeping into her dream. Her eyes that felt heavy opened itself faintly. Belle pushed herself from the bed and looked to her left and right, wondering what she heard as she was certain she had been alone in the room. “Leon?” Belle asked, knowing the demon who had always kept an eye on her. If there was someone who would sneak inside her room, it would be him. But the eerie silence creeped her ou

Tricking The Demon

Sitting down on the chairs, Belle kept a close eye as Leon swiped the cards to the table, placing five cards on across her and to himself. Before his long confident fingers could take the cards, Belle placed her finger on top of his cards, “I will take this one.” Leon arched his brows, looking the least offended, “So cautious, are we? I don’t cheat.” “Give me a reason why I should trust you when there are something we will wager,” Belle responded. When Leon released his cards, she gathered the cards to her hand, carefully watching her own cards before looking at him. “Touche,” Leon whispered, chuckling, “Did you find a diamond on my cards? I guess everyone envy me so much.” Unexpectedly, the cards were normal… thought Belle to herself. She carefully held her cards, reading the fir

Studying Him

Leon’s red gaze was unwavering. He smiled as though mocking her futile trick that didn’t win against him, “No.” “You’re saying the truth?” Belle asked. “I would be rolling on the ground in pain in case I wasn’t. You are so small yet have so much doubt,” Leon flicked the next card, placing his own card before lifting back his gaze to her. “Go on,” he offered. Belle bite the insides of her cheeks, frustrated but also relieved. Although she was vexed that her guess was wrong, she was relieved that she could trust Leon now with his response. She noticed it was the King of Spade, knowing no run for it, Belle pressed one of her last cards, “I lost,” her eyes raised to meet his gaze. “Why do I feel that whether I lost or win, everything will go on your way?”

Veritas, Veritas!

When Leon had came back, he noticed Belle’s silence. Likewise, she knew he knew what ran through her mind. She didn’t question if he had the ability to read people and their mind, but somewhere, she knew whatever she was hiding, Leon was there to read through her like an open book. As she left to call their coachman, Leon stared daggers at Agares who had been feeling his gaze. Finally relenting, he shifted his gaze and saw the demon prince, “I didn’t say anything I wasn’t supposed to if that is what you want me to say.” “Keep your mouth shut,” Leon warned. “It’s for yourself. Keeping her in the dark is better.” “But unfair.” “Have you gotten attached to her in a mere three minutes, Agares?” Leon arched his eyebrows, “I never knew you were this compassionate.

Scarring Trauma

Belle entered the room, feeling herself enveloped in a magical air. Her eyes curiously looked at the shadowy figure hidden behind the curtain. She wondered how the fortune teller looked like. Everyone had covered their faces in Varitas, making her wonder if there was a deep reason for them to hide their identity. “Don’t just stand there, well, do I frightened you enough to turn you into stones?” Ripple-like voice entered her ears. The gentleness the voice possess was heartwarming, easily putting her at ease, but also there was a deep charm that could seduce those who listen to the voice to beguiled by the identity of the speaker. “Oh, truthfully I am not here to have my fortune read,” Belle whispered. She quickly hurried to take the seat before the fortune teller, hoping they wouldn’t kick her out for not having her fortune read. The two women at the front seemed very keen on having their rules followed. A

Read Fortune

Belle pulled herself together. Whether it was the vanilla scent coming from Leon or was it his entire arms that provided her with warmth and assurance of his strength to protect her, her panic wasn’t as severe as before. Somewhere deep in her mind, she recognize him as her only pillar of strength that would support her. “Breathe in and out, can you see me?” Leon questioned. His inquiries neat as though he knew what to do to help her. Belle nodded her head, “Leon.” He smiled as though to affirm her guess. After helping her to the seat, Leon pulled the chair beside her and stared at the fortune teller hidden on the other side of the curtain. “What did you do?” The four question brought chill to the man. He gulped and the bobbing sound could be heard well even by Be
