LOGINIt's true. Peace of mind was the key to good sleep. He used to worry about his life and the fact that he couldn't have children. Being a king for a powerful empire required him to prepare his successor. Without an heir of his own, he would have to choose one of his relatives. It might be one of his cousins or their offsprings.
It had created a lot of problems so far since they all tried to be the one chosen as his successor. He had become used to schemings and secret plots among his kins. It was so hard to see his extended family torn apart by their thirst for power.
If he had his own child, even if it was a girl, he could find a good man to marry her and then handed over the throne to his daughter and her husband.
The devil now was finally at ease and have peace of mind since he no longer had to worry about producing an heir to continue his family lineage. What's more, the girl had agreed to give him three heirs. THREE.
She was not bad looking either, so the devil could have beautiful children like himself. Not that he would love them any less if they were ugly. But he had learned that in life, beautiful people have all the luck, compared to ugly ones.
Right. He must ask her name.
"Mother, you can meet her in person and ask her everything you want to know. At the moment, I cannot tell you much." Finally, the devil decided to dodge the question and further probing from his mother.
He already chose his words carefully to be as ambiguous as possible, by telling his parents that he met the girl by accident and found out she was immune to his curse.
He also said he and the girl had been together for over a month, which was half true. They were together often as she was his servant who even.. wait, she had seen him undress when he wanted to take his bath last week.
Thinking about this made the devil's cheeks flushed slightly. He was in a hurry to take his bath and didn't know that the little slave was still there. Now, that he thought about it... she was astounded and couldn't move for a few seconds. She must be shocked to see his member.
Anyway, not that he had anything to be ashamed of. He felt very confident about his physique. It's just that, he wished the woman who would be the mother of his children could see him naked for the first time under a more favorable situation.
"You're daydreaming.. What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, his mother's voice moved the devil from his reverie.
He was daydreaming, wasn't he? He quickly got rid of the thoughts about the girl and shook his head. "Sorry, Mother. I was thinking about something. Nothing important."
"Oh... are you thinking about her? Is she nice? Do you love her? When will be the wedding?"
The devil involuntarily hiccuped at his mother's question.
Wedding? There will be no wedding. The girl had rejected him from the start, so of course, as a man with pride, he quickly retorted that he didn't plan to marry her. So.. now, he and the girl had agreed on three children but no marriage.
How would he explain this to his parents? He also didn't want them to know that she tried to kill him and had been hovering around him for over a month for the single purpose of killing him. He didn't want them to hate her and treat her badly. He needed her and her womb.
"We will talk about everything next week, okay? I have to go back and discuss things with her." Finally, the devil rose from his seat and kissed his mother's cheek and hugged his father. "Good night, Your Majesty."
He went out of the hall and got ready to return to his own castle. After he disappeared behind the door, King Jared and Queen Elara exchanged glances.
The queen was obviously still hungry for more information. As soon as her son left, she called her staff and gave instruction to send a spy to her son's castle to find more information about this girl that had been living together with the devil.
"I hope she is a nice woman," the queen whispered and let out a long sigh. "Hopefully she is fertile and can give us chubby grandchildren very soon. I can't wait to meet her."

The devil asked his servant about Emmelyn to check if the girl had had dinner. He was surprised to hear that she was caught trying to escape her room by climbing down from her window, thirty meters from the ground, and was now being kept in the small dining room with five guards keeping an eye on her closely.
"She tried to escape? How?"
"Uhmm.. she used her bedsheets to make rope and climbed down from her window when it was already dark. She almost got away..."
"Oh..." The devil pressed his temple. This sharp-tongued woman seemed like she didn't plan to keep her words. He must teach her a lesson. She already made a deal with the devil and must know that he was not someone to mess with.
"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
