Chapter 9 - The Devil Is A Doting Son?

When she heard the devil say she could only leave after she gave him three heirs, Emmelyn's mind quickly went to work. She must find a witch to help her conceive twins. That way she could save time. If she had to give birth three times, then she would be confined to the devil for at least 4 years. AT LEAST!

[Crazy!]

"Why three? Don't you know that raising children is hard? Even your mother only gave birth once. She knows having one child is enough," said Emmelyn after she thought about the devil's request. She assumed the devil would take the parenting role on his own after the kids were born, so she could imagine how hard it would be for him. Yet, this brazen guy wanted three? Tsk.

The devil narrowed his eyes menacingly at Emmelyn's words. He was offended that his mother was brought into the conversation.

"My mother wanted to have many children so that my family could have multiple heirs, but all my siblings died stillborn. I am the only one who survived and she almost died giving birth to me. Don't you dare talking about my mother that way."

Emmelyn gulped. This man seemed to care so much about his mother. In fact, from the way he talked about his mother, Emmelyn could see the devil was a doting son.

"Fine. I am just trying to give you a reality check, okay? I have several siblings and I could see how my parents were overwhelmed by us. They ended up dumping us to nannies and stewards."

It was true. Emmelyn loved her parents but she sometimes resented the fact that they didn't have time to be her parents. Too busy with state duties and too many children to care for.

"If you care so much about the kids, you can stay and care for them," said the devil casually. He started chomping down his food. It looked like he no longer considered the conversation important since they had reached an agreement.

He understood her concern and he was grateful that his parents doted on him and his mother was always there for him, but the truth was, any king should have multiple heirs to secure his family lineage. Him being an only son had given his parents a lot of worries.

Since he was cursed and couldn't touch any female, thus he couldn't reproduce, his parents were aggrieved because they thought their family line would end with him. If only they had another child, his curse wouldn't affect his family that much.

He loved his mother and hated every day that she was sad, thinking about his fate. He couldn't wait to go see his parents at his father's birthday celebration to bring them the good news that, finally, he found the only woman who was immune to his curse.

To avoid the same problem, he must ensure he had more than one heir to secure his lineage. Three was his minimum requirement. Kids can die in infancy or they could die in war or plague. It was too dangerous to only have one heir.

"Me? Stay?" Emmelyn pointed at her own nose, then scoffed. "In your dreams."

She was already forced to bear him children, she wouldn't let herself be his prisoner forever.

The devil pretended not to hear her and continued eating his meal like he was alone in the room. Emmelyn who was not used to being ignored when she was a princess, suddenly felt she was the lowly slave again, hiding in the corner and act unassuming.

[You want to ignore me? Fine. Hmph.]

Emmelyn also decided to focus her attention on her food, and when she was done, she walked out and looked very interested in the fish and the water lilies in the devil's pond.

"I have to go now. Make yourself at home." Finally, the devil rose from his chair and walked toward the door. "We will start the baby-making work tonight."

He didn't even throw her a second glance when he uttered his sentences and left immediately. Emmelyn was stood rooted in her spot when realization slowly dawned on her.

Baby-making work.

That's how the devil saw it. They had to work to make a baby. And Emmelyn was nothing more than a breeding cow for him.

After the devil left, the servants quickly cleaned up the table and in no time, it was done. They left Emmelyn on her own after they didn't see there was any more work they could do in the small dining room.

Once she was left alone, Emmelyn sat dejectedly on the floor, hugging her knees. She didn't want to show her fear and frustration in front of the devil, so she pretended to act tough and nonchalant, but after she was by herself, she finally let herself go and silently cried over her unfortunate life.

    "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
