Eleanor's p.o.vI quickly moved and touched Victor's arm gently.He was breathing loudly and he was in so much pain, that I could tell.He wasn't going to live long if he was going to continue receiving such treatment!.I needed to find a way to protect him or at least try.I stood upright and wiped off my tears."Ducan." I called loudly.I had no idea if he would appear, but it was worth a try because he was the only one who cared about me.When a minute went by, I looked around."Ducan." I called, this time with emphasis."I'm here." He answered behind, startling me.I quickly turned and grabbed his hand."Please help him." I said seriously.He looked at Victor coldly then pulled his hand from my grip roughly."Eleanor, you seem to forget what my other form is. How do you expect me to help someone who almost killed my friend?" He asked coldly.He had no reason to help him that I knew and him being here showed how kind he was. But if he wasn't going to help me, then who was I going t
Victor's p.o.vI leaned against the wall and groaned loudly in pain.My head was badly aching and my mouth was filled with the scent of blood. The blow I had received was stronger than all blows I had endured in my past.What was surprising was how he held back. Although the hit was brutal, he wasn't using his full strength.Was he sparing my life because he was in love with Eleanor?.If that was the case then that explained why he healed my deep wounds despite looking at me like I was garbage.I looked at the open cell then at my hands seriously.If only I had something to break the chains, I could make a run for it and find Zara. Despite that brat being very annoying, he acted like he had a very good plan. If he had thought of how to escape, I needed to convince him to join hands with me.I sighed heavily when Eleanor's words repeated in my mind. When she confessed to loving the devil who had killed her father and who she swore to rip into pieces, I was in total shock. So much that
Zara's p.o.v I woke up with an aching body and a sore throat. The side of my neck was slightly hurting and my knee felt the same. "Where am I?" I asked myself silently then turned to face the other side. When I came face to face with a creepy head looking at me.I screamed loudly and moved backwards falling from the bed. The head was popping out of the mistress back while she slept!. It was terrifying and disgusting at the same time. It smirked as more of them popped out of her back with hands. I felt a shiver go through my body just by looking at them. I looked at the door ahead and noticed it was wide open, then back at her. She looked peaceful and in deep sleep. If I was to run away I would make it. But somehow it felt like a trap, how was the door left open when she knew I was in her bedchamber?. Also would the heads keep quiet or scream If I was to run to the door?. No, I still needed time to figure her out and what she was capable of before running away. I slowly got
Ducan's p.o.v "What exactly are you planning on doing with that male warrior?" Ose asked in my bedchamber. I was walking back and forth, trying to think over everything. I wanted him dead as soon as possible because I was scared of what he would tell Eleanor, at the same time I didn't want Eleanor to feel bad or cry over losing him. "Ducan, speak to me. For hours you have been acting strange. You called me here, at least talk to me." He exclaimed. I stopped moving and looked at him seriously. "Is there a way to get rid of that human bastard in the dungeon without killing him?" I asked seriously. He frowned deeply then moved to the bed and sat down. "Why not just kill him, why do you want to spare him?" He asked. "Because Eleanor likes him." I answered. "She likes that guy in what way?" He asked. "In a brotherly way, I guess." I answered. He brushed his hand through his hair then cleared his throat. "Forgive me for asking this great Maou, but are you holding back on killing
Ose's p.o.vI walked into my bedchamber then went straight to my desk ignoring Clair completely.She stood up from the bed and walked to where I was, wrapping her arms around my waist."For a second I thought you were someone else, if not for a few scales showing on your neck I would have screamed out or attacked you." She said softly."What are you doing?" I asked seriously when I turned to face her."I would like to ask you a similar question. Why are you hiding your demon form?" She asked.After taking that brat to the ancient witch, I chose to be in my human form because I thought I could bump into Eleanor in my original form."It's none of your business." I answered coldly then moved to the chair and sat down."Are you upset with me?" She asked in a low tone.How stupid was she?. Yes I was, one of the fairies reported to me that she had met Eleanor in secret. Although she didn't tell me what they were talking about, I had an idea, she was definitely trying to convince her to esca
Iris's p.o.v "He's quite troublesome," I whispered as I sat behind my desk. This was the second time that the brat was passing out in shock and fear. How was he so brave when speaking but a coward in front of something that shocked him? "Master, is it the right decision to pick him as your slave," Edith whispered behind me. Edith was a lost soul that refused to seek the afterlife. I had no idea what her regret was or what her unfulfilled wish was. All I knew was that she had always been with me for a very long time. At first, she was just observing me from afar in fear of me destroying her, but with time she began getting close to me, and before I knew it, we were talking to each other. The fact that she was a female made me feel calm and peaceful around her, so I took her in and treated her as part of my family. Throughout our years together, there was never a day she had asked me for a favor or for me to present a new body to her. Because of that, I realized how selfless she wa
Clair's p.o.v Ose stood looking at me in silence. A few minutes had gone by after the kiss, and he still looked more shocked than I was. I was desperate to know how he felt because his facial expression wasn't good. He looked pale and conflicted. Was it because he had kissed me who he claimed I was disgusting? I wondered to myself. For a second I was stunned by his actions but later gave in because I liked him. It was my first time being kissed by a man, be it a demon or not. It wasn't for a long time, but it made my heart race and my body shiver in response. He cleared his throat and then brushed his hand through his hair as I waited for his apology. He definitely was going to apologize for making a move on me because he made it clear how he felt about me and my race. It was painful when he yelled at me back then that I couldn't hold back my tears. I knew demons were harsh with their words, but he was the only one I didn't want to hear such words from. "Let's go back, you wil
Bright's p.o.v I walked to the training field and stood from afar watching the warriors chatting while others were laughing. For the past few days, I had been gathering information from afar. I also watched how they trained. Because I had nowhere to stay in the capital, I slept in the street and spent most of my time there. My family was in the village, and they weren't that rich to have connections with those in the capital. That's why I didn't want to bother them. If I was to talk to the demon king, he would grant me a lot of riches, but that's not what I wanted to do. He had given me a body and a second chance to relive my life even if it was just for a year, that alone meant so much to me. "Hey, did you find some maids to take care of us?" The huge warrior asked the slim one. The huge guy I recognized because he was usually with the hero, and he loved training. He was the second strongest in the capital and everyone feared him. He hated disrespect as much as he hated weak p
