Semua Bab BETROTHED TO THE DEMON KING: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

Ducan's p.o.v "Just look at the surroundings!. It is so magical and that fountain over there is captivating!" She exclaimed then grabbed my hand pointing at it. After breaking down in front of her, it took me some minutes to fully compose myself. When I pulled back and looked at her, she laughed softly then grabbed my hand and went with me outside. There she began showing me things I already knew and saw. She was acting very nervous and trying her best to cheer me up. "Eleanor." I called softly. "Just look at those beautiful trees." She exclaimed, ignoring me. "Eleanor." I called. This time a little louder. She stood still and faced me seriously. "You don't have to worry about me because I am fine." I said as her expression softened. She moved her hand and pressed it on my cheek with a sad smile. "Ducan, I know I might sound selfish or foolish but......, why don't you come with me to the human territory?" She asked softly, angering me. "What!" I exclaimed while I took a

Ducan's p.o.v We walked back to the palace hand in hand and in silence. It felt nice and peaceful just watching the horizon at the cliff. I finally understood why my mother loved that place. It also gave me closure to them despite them being dead. When Eleanor stopped walking, I too did. "What's the matter?" I asked calmly. "We are close to the entrance." She whispered softly. I looked ahead and noticed that she was right. We were a few seconds away from the entrance to the palace. I dropped my hand from hers with hesitation. Her warmth made me relax and forget where we were for a minute. "Go in." I said softly. She looked at me seriously then shocked me when she tiptoed and kissed the corner of my lips gently. She was about to pull back when I kissed her lips. She instantly wrapped her arms around my shoulders and kissed me back. My arm went around her waist pulling her closer as I thrust my tongue past her mouth, enjoying her low moans and response. "Ducan?" Ose called

Ose's p.o.v "It's not that you can't stand humans, it's just that you are stuck on wishing for someone that can never be yours." Those words were ringing in my head until now and they made me furious. My heart was aching badly and my form wasn't human any more. "Ose." Oni greeted me with respect. I ignored him and went to the main dungeon cell, looking at the women who all sat down in silence. Their feet and arms were chained to the chains that were linked to the walls, limiting their body movements. I could tell that they were strong and strictly trained. All weak humans would have been scared and in tears, not quiet and collected. "Dark fairies, I call on you." I said calmly as a few appeared next to me. All dark fairies had no specific gender and they were referred to by rank / name or the word it. They took any shape or form of anything they liked. So while others looked like male demons, some looked like female demons. A lot of them served those of high rank because they

Ose's p.o.v "Ose." The ancient witch called for my attention. She sat on the ground with her legs crossed and in a drawn circle while drawing some symbols. "Yes, ancient one." I answered softly. "Is there something troubling you?" She asked. "No." I denied then focused on what she was doing. I was more than troubled because of the female warrior's words. The way she acted was unlike any other being I had been with. What shocked me the most, was how she admitted to liking my demon form. She was definitely trying to get me to lower my guard because I knew humans hated snakes. All those years I spent watching Eleanor, I understood that snakes were either killed or treated badly by humans. Some humans even ran away from them thinking they are all evil or deadly. "Ancient one, pardon my question but, was there any human being who had ever liked a demon besides Ducan's late mother?" I asked curiously. She stopped drawing some symbols on a few cloths that had the female warriors'
