Mag-log inThe devil had a great mood all day and it didn't escape his mother's attention. The beautiful woman knew her son very well to guess that something really good must be happening to him.
After Prince Mars shoot the bullseye ten times in a row with great precision to everyone's applause, his mother came to his side and gave him water to freshen up.
"You did so well today," she praised her son with a broad smile. "Nobody can shoot arrows better than you in our entire kingdom. I am so proud of you."
"Thank you, Mother. I have a great teacher," replied the devil with a smile identical to his mother's.
Queen Elara was a stunning woman in her mid 40's. She gave birth to the devil when she was 20, and he was the only child born to her that survived infancy.
He was the apple of her eye, her beloved, and she spoiled him to bits.
The devil admired his mother greatly and secretly he wished to find a wife like her. Sadly... that would never happen because of his curse. From early on, he had to stay away from any women to avoid killing innocent victims.
"Your teacher also taught your cousins, but none of them are as good as you. My son is the best!"
Prince Mars only smiled wider when he heard his mother's compliment. He knew parents were the most biased toward their children.
"That's because I was raised by the best mother in the world," he responded. The devil hugged his mother's waist and walked with her to the stage where the king sat and watch the archers shoot their arrows to hit the target. "I have good news I would like to share with you after Father's birthday celebration."
"Really? Is that the reason why you are smiling so much today?" His mother narrowed her eyes in a probing look, looking at the devil intently.
The man chuckled and nodded. "Yes."
"Oh, I can't wait!" Queen Elara was beaming with happiness. She couldn't wait for the events and the feast to end so she could immediately hear what her son had to share with them.
The king turned 50 this year. He was an average looking man but he was a fearless warrior when he was young and had been conquering kingdom after kingdom in the continent of Terra.
During his reign, he had grown the Draec Kingdom into the biggest and the most feared empire in the whole continent. Today, so many representatives from their colonies came to attend his birthday celebration.
Princes and knights from their colonies joined the sword-fighting and archery competitions to show their skills, but none of them could match his only son's skills. He won every tournament there was to win.
The king was so proud of his son. The monarch figured today was a good time to start showing their colonies how formidable his son was and slowly introduced him to them as the future king.
"You won all the titles," King Jared Strongmoor said to his son when he saw Mars and Queen Elara come near him. "And seem to be in a very good mood."
"Father and Mother are so alike. Nothing can escape your attention," Mars chuckled and nodded. "I slept well last night."
"Is that so? Did the court physician prescribe you a new sleeping potion?" The king asked with interest.
Mars shook his head. "No. But I've got something better to help me sleep at night."
His parents looked at each other with furrowed brows.
"What do you mean something better?" The queen was curious to know. "What is it?"
The devil smiled faintly as he answered his mother's question. "A peace of mind."
"Uh ... you haven't answered my question, why did you ask the servants to move my things from my room?" Emmelyn asked before sipping her wine.Her hand, which was holding the wine glass and ready to drink, lowered back to the table and she crossed her arms over her chest.Mars shrugged. "What do you mean by 'your room '? You have no room in this castle. Before, you slept in the servants' quarter with the others."Emmelyn pursed her lips. "My room is ... uhm, I mean the room where you locked me up yesterday. I thought you gave that room to me. I'm going to give birth to your children ... and you have the heart to send me back to the servants' quarter???"Mars massaged his forehead. He didn't know if Emmelyn was really naive, or she just pretended not to know that starting today she would share a room with him since they'll... uhm, keep trying to make babies.He didn't know her enough yet to tell if Emmelyn was naive or pretended not to understand th
When Mars came home in the afternoon, he immediately went to his chamber to see Emmelyn, but he did not find the girl there."Where's Lady Emmelyn?" he asked the butler.The middle-aged man bowed down to Mars and answered. "Lady Emmelyn is sitting reading in her chamber.""HER chamber?" Mars frowned. Ahh ... he just remembered that after catching Emmelyn about to kill him yesterday, he ordered his bodyguards to lock up the girl in a room on the third floor.[Ha. She thought that was her chamber?]Mars crossed his arms across his chest and gave his butler's orders. "Bring Lady Emmelyn here and all her belongings. Starting today, she will stay in my chamber with me."The butler was stunned. He lifted his head and looked at Mars with an astonished face. He was one of the few people in this castle who knew who Emmelyn really was. Emmelyn bribed him three gold coins last month to place her as Prince Mars' personal servant.And it turned ou
Emmelyn took the opportunity after Mars left to make a list of foods she liked. Apparently, she really had no other choice and had to stay in this castle until she gave birth to the three children. Fine. She just had to adapt.With a wave of her hand, she ordered the servants to bring her a parchment and quill. However, it was only after she sat down with parchment and ink in front of her that Emmelyn realized she couldn't write because her right hand was still sore.[Damn .. why did I turn stupid? I can't possibly write.]Emmelyn was surprised at herself. Usually, she was very smart. But why did it seem like her brain refused to work this morning? She forgot that she couldn't use her right hand.Then, how could she write the list of foods she liked?Finally, she decided to come to the kitchen on her own and meet the cooks. Easier to just talk to them, right?As soon as she stepped inside the kitchen that was located at the far end of the ca
Emmelyn had no choice but to obey Mars's words. Besides, she was also hungry, and she hated wasting good food just because she couldn't use her good hand. She opened her mouth and took a bite of meat from the fork the prince was holding.Mars nodded with satisfaction. He cut the meat on Emmelyn's plate into little pieces and fed her some more. After the girl finished the meat on her plate, he then gave her the fruit slices.Emmelyn ate heartily. It couldn't be denied that she had not tasted good food for a long time, so she would not miss the opportunity to enjoy all the food that was served in front of her.***Queen Elara was beaming when she heard reports from the informant she sent to the Crown Prince's castle."So ... they made love passionately last night, huh? What? Everyone in the castle could hear them? Wow! That's amazing! I know my son will not lack in that department," she chuckled and glanced at her husband in a knowing look.Th
Mars immediately ran from his troops and went to find the origin of the scream. He could guess that the sound must come from the girl who spent the night with him.His mind immediately became a mess. He thought something terrible had happened that made Emmelyn scream so hysterically.As soon as he arrived at the door of his chamber, Mars broke the door, thinking that a bad guy was about to kill the mother of his future children.BANG!"What happened? Where are the bad people?" asked Mars with alacrity.He had drawn his sword and immediately cast his gaze around the room. Not seeing anyone else there, he placed his sword on the table and approached Emmelyn, who was sitting on the bed with teary eyes."What happened?" he asked again anxiously.Emmelyn immediately pressed the blanket against her chest when she saw the prince's eyes glancing at her breasts that were exposed.[You pervert!]"I'm going to die!" snapped Emmelyn
WARNING:This chapter contains an explicit mature scene. Please read at your own discretion...That night, Mars slept very well, without the aid of any sleeping potion at all. He also didn't have any nightmares. It was the first time that he had a comfortable and peaceful sleep without interruption.He didn't know if he was "cured" of his curse or if his hard work in the previous night making love to Emmelyn made his body too tired that he just passed out. Whatever that was, he was happy. It was so good to have a nice sleep.When he woke up, he felt very refreshed. When he opened his eyes, Mars felt a soft and warm body lying in his arms. His mind went back to what happened last night, and a smile immediately adorned his lips.Emmelyn snuck her head to his chest while sleeping, and the girl had unwittingly wrapped her arms around Mars's stomach and hugged him tightly.Ahhh ... this position felt very comfortable, Mars thought
