Chapter 7 - Everyone's Got A Price
publish date:
2020-10-17 10:51:45"Come here," said the man in a deep voice, pointing at the chair across from him. Emmelyn nodded and walked closer, then plopped her butt on her designated seat.
Soon, two male servants came with food and served them for breakfast. Emmelyn almost cried when she saw all the good food before her. It's been an awfully long time since she last had a decent meal. Being a slave in this castle meant she only ate the worst food available in the castle as they were the lowest in the food chain here.
Sometimes, if the devil was busy with his state duties and had to go to the royal palace for days, she could take a breather from serving him. She would hunt in the forest nearby and ate roasted meat if she were lucky.
"You have to let the cook know whatever food you like, so he could make them for you," said the devil while lifting his cup and the servant quickly filled it with tea.
"Eh?" Emmelyn didn't expect the devil would say such things. Was she dreaming? Maybe she was asleep and dreamed the whole thing.
There was no way the devil from the Draec Kingdom asked her to name her favorite dishes so his cook could make them for her.
"I have an exquisite pallet. He might not be able to make my favorite dishes," Emmelyn rolled her eyes. The truth was, she had been missing her mother's apple pie for months. Sometimes she would cry alone, just thinking about it.
But.. she shouldn't trust any food from the devil. She would only eat anything that he ate, nothing else. What if he poisoned her?
"Are you looking down on my people?" The devil narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It means you're looking down on me too. Are you saying I'm not capable to provide for you?"
Emmelyn narrowed her eyes too. She didn't understand what did the devil actually want from her.
"Why do you want to feed me? Are you trying to fatten me up before you sacrifice me to the devil?" she scoffed.
"Tch..." The devil rolled his eyes in response to Emmelyn's words. "You are too skinny to give birth to my children. I need you to gain weight a little bit more."
Emmelyn spouted her tea when she heard him. Alright... it looked like she wasn't dreaming. She heard the man said the same thing last night.
He wanted her to be the mother of his children.
If he wasn't the devil incarnate himself. Emmelyn might consider his 'indirect proposal' as something romantic. However, no... he is her mortal enemy, and she shouldn't let those charming golden eyes sway her from her goal.
So, did this mean... he was serious?
"So shameless! Why makes you think I will give birth to your children? You know I came here to kill you..." Emmelyn stared at the man daringly.
Yes, she was no longer a princess after her kingdom was attacked by this scummy prince's army and her family was removed from the throne, but she still had her pride. She wouldn't let anyone reduce her into a breeding cow.
Prince Mars looked at Emmelyn intently and the corners of his mouth twitched a little as if holding back a grin. He was the devil, after all. He shouldn't let this lowly slave think he had turned soft. That's why he held back his smile.
The truth was, this girl was so pretty and her pout and her aggressive behavior only added to her charm. The devil was smitten, but he wouldn't admit it. He cleared his throat.
"Name your price," he said finally. "Everyone's got their price. I don't think you are that special that you don't want anything in life."
Emmelyn furrowed her brows. "My price? How dare you!"
"You can either tell me your price or I'll find another woman to carry my children and I will order the castle guards to take you to the plaza for beheading."
"..."
[Unbelievable. This devil is too slick.]
Emmelyn was rendered speechless. So, she basically didn't have a choice. It was either her head or her womb.
Finally, she sighed and looked away. She hated this man for forcing his will on her. However, she was well aware of her position. She was not in a place where she had bargaining power.
The devil might need her to give birth to his children for whatever reason, but she couldn't push her luck. He could also toss her away and find other women to bear his children, then... she could kiss her head goodbye.
Better to just say yes for now, and later find a way to escape.
"Fine. You win." Emmelyn put her cup down. "I do have my price."
"Name it."

The Cursed Prince Chapter 26 - Maybe He Sucked My Intelligence Out Of My Brain When We Had Sex
"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
The Cursed Prince Chapter 25 - She Could Hold Her Liquor
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
The Cursed Prince Chapter 24 - She Will Not Run Away In A Dress. Duh.
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
The Cursed Prince Chapter 23 - The Queen's Plan
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
The Cursed Prince Chapter 22 - Let Me Feed Y*u
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
The Cursed Prince Chapter 21 - Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh...!! **
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
