The Demon King

chapter six

Months went by and I remained Leroi's loyal servant, and in return for being so obedient I had gained his trust. I was allowed to venture outside in the vineyard alone. That's when I thought that it would be a good idea to escape.

I had grown tired of the same routine, days and nights of endlessly cleaning only to sleep on an empty stomach. It made me sick.

Which is why I was going to make a run for it, and I was going to do it soon.

"Aden!" I stopped walking and turned around to see Sire running towards me.

"There you are, it's time for you to come inside. It's getting late." He said once he caught up.

I nodded, "Okay, sorry for making you run all the way out here." I said.

He smiled, "Don't worry, I'm alright." He replied.

We returned inside the house and I went up to my room. My stomach churned with hunger.

"Still no dinner huh?" I muttered aloud before laying back on my bed. I stared up at the ceiling nearly lost in thought when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. "Yes?"

"It's me." It was Leroi.

"What is it?"

"I brought you dinner."

I got up from the bed and opened the door. Surely enough Leroi was standing there with a tray of delicious looking foods.

"For me?"

He nodded, "Eat."

I took the tray from him and ran back to my bed to eat. I was so hungry I probably looked like a wild animal feasting on it's prey. I glanced back at Leroi and judging from his expression he was probably thinking the same thing. But I didn't care, he was no less of animal himself being a Demon and all.

"Slow down or you'll choke." He said.

"I won't, and why would you care? I'm just your human servant, nothing more." I retorted.

Leroi sighed, "Exactly, you're my servant, and I need you to continue serving me. Not everyone is capable of doing that you know."

I frowned, "Whatever." I started eating slower this time.

"That's better." Leroi said before turning to leave. "Oh and make sure to wash the dishes when you're done." He added.

I heard the door close and I knew that I was alone again. Leroi was probably going to meet Sire in his study. I had caught them having sex there more often lately. Of course it'd be like that. Sire was beautiful so it couldn't be helped, but I don't know why it bothered me.

I was nowhere near interested in a Demon like Leroi. He was pure evil.

I finished my meal and took the tray of dirty dishes downstairs to wash them. But when I arrived to the kitchen I was surprised to find a huge pile of dishes waiting for me to clean them as well. I had no choice but to wash them all.

Once I finished I headed back to my room soaking wet. I changed out of my clothes and hung them up before getting into bed naked. I pulled the covers over my body and sighed.

Just a little longer and I'll be out of there.

I closed my eyes and began to fall asleep. But if only I had stayed awake.

It was sometime later that night when someone crept into my bedroom. I was barely awake but I heard footsteps approaching my bed and soon the covers were slowly pulled off of me.

"W-Who's there?" I asked still barely awake. It was too dark to see a thing. Then I felt a hand caress my inner thigh. I suddenly remembered that I was naked and quickly sat up but only to be grabbed by my neck. I gagged and quickly gasped for air as the grip on my neck tightened.
