“We deeply apologize Your Majesty! We neglected our duties and let the Queen be exposed to danger! Please bestow us our punishment.” The trio kowtowed in the ground as they all smack their heads to beg. Xegris only gave them a dangerous glare as he silently clutched the woman in his arms. His eyes soften a bit, seeing the beautiful sleeping face of the person. Her eyelashes fluttered as her lips occasionally twitch. Hellion was in a deep sleep ever since he picked her up from that distorted space, he never let go of her, not even once letting her lay in the bed to sleep, only, persistently holding her into his arms as he moved around carrying her like a precious treasure. Dev pursed her lips, her negligence might led her into demotion. If the lord was displeased with her, she might be reduced into a lowly demon, not being able to use magic anymore. Everyone in the demon realm was under his control, the twelve

“M-my Queen…are you alright?” Dev hesitantly asked as she carried a basin of warm water in her arms. Hellion glanced at her in a dazed her eyes still misty from the steamy night she just had. Dev put the basin down and hurriedly grabbed a wet cloth. She then supported Hellion to sat up as the body was gradually revealed under the sheets. Dev widened her eyes in shock as she spotted the red marks all over her body as the very person’s head was still in a mush. Dev pursed her lips and rejected the silly thoughts on her mind. She then slowly wiped off her hands as the strong scent reached the tip of her nose. Thi-this! The demon girl blushed. How many times did they even done it? The scent still lingers on her body as the visible trace of last night’s tragedy was engraved on the sheets. Hellion trembled a bit, her body aches all ov

The room was enveloped in silence. It was always peaceful and quiet however, the presence of an unpleasant being was inside the room making the other felt rather irritated. Why isn’t he leaving yet? Guarding me in case that I escape? Even if you look at me all day I would never had the sliver of interest to flee. Hellion thought on her mind as she faced the rooted jerk looking at her with unblinking eyes. Two people stared at each other for the longest time. Almost as if their soul would dare leapt out of their eye sockets. Hellion was the first to withdraw her gaze as the man continued to watched her. She let out a deep sigh and said in an amicable tone. “Aren’t you tired watching me the whole day?” She then tucked herself in the sheets and lie down on the bed. Xegris furrowed his brows and quietly approach her side. “Are you going to sleep?”

“You seem to be more troubled this days. Is there something bothering you?” A faint, worried voice attended her ears as the low footsteps walked into the room. Elaine settle the tray on the table as she poured her a cup of tea. Jeulle withdraw the pen on her hand and slowly took a sip. She then shifted her gaze on her friend’s anxious face. Elaine, receiving a strange look from her felt a bit uneasy, she pursed her lips and finally found the courage to speak up her mind. “Maybe, it was really a bad idea to accept the prince’s proposal. He suddenly left without a trace as soon as you approve. Maybe you should—” Elaine flinched and instinctively lowered her head after sensing a dangerous gaze from her. Jeulle’s face was contorted into a deep frown as she look at her with a hint of dismay. She stared at Elaine for a sec and didn’

“What brings you here?” Xegris knitted his brows, his face turned ugly. He didn’t expect that this mongrel would reach the capital that fast. Kieffer sip on his tea and slowly put down the cup on the table. He then leaned back on his seat with a mischievous grin on his face. “I just want to visit you but it seems I’ve interrupted your date.” He then grinned wide like a fool as he stared at Xegris. Xegris exhaled, massaged the bridge of his nose and said in a slightly angered tone. “If you’re only here to fool around then go back to your realm.” “I came all the way here but you’re already kicking me out. How evil. Relax, I’m here to deliver some news.” Kieffer then leaned over the table and tap the table as the initial playful expression turned into great seriousness. Xegris raised his brow and silently
