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
Eleanor's p.o.v I yawned and blinked a few times before opening my eyes. My body felt relaxed and well-rested. This was the first time I felt like this since coming to the demon territory. I was about to sit upright when a hand pushed me down. "Rest more." Ducan's voice came from behind me. I quickly turned and came face to face with the demon king. "You need to rest more." He said as I frowned deeply and then sat upright. Was I still sleepy or was my mind hazy? I definitely was, because for a second I had heard Ducan's voice. "Are you upset because my arm was around you?" He asked softly. I glanced at him and saw that he was smiling at me. "No, but I prefer not to be touched," I answered then moved to the edge of the bed. "Eleanor, do you know a general by the name of Ducan?" He asked as my heart picked up. My throat instantly got dry and my body tensed. What?. Why was he asking me about him, did he find out about us? Fear washed through me as I tried to act calm. "No,"
Eleanor's p.o.vImmediately the demon king walked out of the room, and the demon fairies disappeared.I quickly stood up from the bed and went straight to the dungeon.I watched my every step as I approached Victor's cell which surprisingly was still open.When I walked in he quickly looked at me."Eleanor." He called in a low tone that sounded as if he was in disbelief."I came to check up on you," I said softly then moved closer and stood in front of him.He smiled and then moved his hand towards me. I looked at it and then hesitated before taking it."I thought I wasn't going to see you any time soon after what happened." He whispered.Well, I wasn't mad at him in any way, I just didn't like his confession."As I said, I just came to check up on you," I answered then tried to pull my hand away when he tightened his grip."Eleanor, I know you disliked my confession. It was rushed, and I didn't think through how you would feel about it. All I thought was that I was going to die and t
Ducan's p.o.vThe truth was my only way out. I badly wanted to laugh with her and then pretend to be upset with her over her words, but that would be unfair to her. She was the woman I loved and respected, keeping her in the dark wasn't an option anymore.Just as Ose said, dragging this and pretending not to be the demon king was a bad thing to do, It would only end up hurting her badly. I was scared of her hating me, but at the same time, I wanted her to accept me fully."Ducan, your joke is going far." She said seriously as my heart picked up.I had asked the twin demon fairies to report to me whatever they would hear or see happen between the male warrior and Eleanor, and they did their job well. I knew she had gone to the dungeon because of them and I heard their conversation through their ears. Likewise, I wanted to interfere but I chose not to because I felt it was the right decision to do. Not only that, but I wanted her to find out the truth."I'm sorry Eleanor, but I'm not jo
