Semua Bab CLAIMED BY THE DEMON KING: DARK ROMANCE: Bab 41 - Bab 50

~Elara~I couldn't still get over the feeling of several eyes on me, staring with intense judgement.Its as the saying goes, where ever there is Elara, trouble is sure to spring out.Well, that’s a figurative statement.I should be used to it considering all that happened in Winterwood but I wasn't. I don't think anyone can get used to getting stared at.Not the normal staring at, but the one where all features of the face joined in. Eyes wide, nose flared and mouth agape.I don’t even know how to react right now. I feel like I had just been caught shitting my pants.Well, everyone apart from Dravon, had that look on.But the good thing about it was that I didn't have to bear the weight of the people of the palace chamber gaze alone.It was equally distributed. Their eyes flickered between Dravon and I, trying to read the meaning of his words.But he didn't even flinch or show signs of discomfort. He was probably used to it.The dinning hall itself suddenly felt so overwhelming. I kno

It felt like hypnosis. Just a touch from Dravon clouded my sense of reasoning, I couldn't really process all that's going on.I didn't utter a single word as we entered his private bedroom. I didn't even ask why we were going in there.All I knew was I'm following Dravon's lead. The only logical reason I could give myself for going in with him was that I wanted to see his room. I wanted to see what his private life looked like.While this was a partial lie, it was also half true. I did want to see what his bedroom looked like.Every step to the door seemed impossibly long, even if in reality it was just a few steps away.My heart was beating erratically. Each step echoed, seeming to rhyme with my pounding heart.There was tension and suspense in the air. I anticipated Dravon's next action.I wanted to know why he was taking me to his bedroom but I didn't ask. I didn't need worded answers for my question, I needed to see it play out.When the door finally swung open, the charged air th

~Elara~“Touch me Dravon, please…” Those words sounded distant now, like it was another’s voice.It was followed with an outburst of lustful groaning from him.He pulled me close, his mouth covering the swell of my hardened nipples. He sucked on it for some time, nibbling it with so much pleasure that made my core throb.Shit, I can’t control myself.I didn't know why, but he pulled away from me for a spit second.I groaned in displeasure.It was as though everything shifted into something I couldn’t control, and I found myself leaving the comfort of the bed and standing on the foot of it.He wasn’t on me, it seemed he had been the one who dragged me out of the bed, and there he stood at a corner, staring down at me. His once blue eyes had turned into a scary red.His eyes have turned red.My breath quickened as our eyes met. I sensed the difference in him instantly. He seemed like a totally different person.The air grew heavier, thick with something I couldn’t quite place my hands o

~Elara~I left his room after that and headed back to mine. Through the journey back, I noticed that some servants were staring at me from under their lashes, even though their heads were bowed.I could understand the thoughts going through their mind. I know they are probably wondering what good the king saw in me, and how someone who was supposed to be a slave, has the audacity to sleep with the king.I gripped the hem of my dress tightly as I walked with my head held up.I may no longer be a queen, but it doesn’t mean I will cower under judgement.It was only after I got back to my room and shut the door that I finally breathed again.What the hell was all that about? I feel like I am slowly drowning in a pit of something too big for me to understand.I stared at the mark again, it was still there. I avoided touching it this time.I know how this story goes. The folklore, where the damsel is saved by the knight and then she falls in love with him, and they live happily ever after.

~Elara~“Not Lady Elara, just Elara.” I corrected him. I wasn't of noble rank anymore, to be given the title of ladyship.“I'm Karl, I'll be your instructor for your dance lessons. I already heard a lot about the new lady who recently moved into the castle. No one told me you were this beautiful, it’s nice to finally meet you.” He explained, giving me a knowing smile.I noticed how his eyes lightened in that smile as he stared me over, as though he could see right through me.I didn’t know how to react to that, was that interest I saw in his eyes. I couldn’t be so sure.I nodded slowly, forcing a smile to my face.“I look forward to learning from you.”“Since you don't know any of the customary dances,” Karl started. “Your first lesson would be very simple. You'll learn the courtly dance for beginners. You have a nice figure; I don’t think it will be hard for you to catch up.”That again, another compliment. This is going to be harder than I thought. He winked before stepping away
