The Demon King

chapter eleven

Years passed and before I knew it I had become a middle aged man. Though my appearance had not changed much I was starting to feel like I'd be dead soon. Leroi had stopped touching me completely and I was only cleaning up after him and the guests he invited over every other night. They were all demons and they were everything that Leroi desired.

I was still only a human in his eyes. Just a mere tool that he could use whenever he liked. I lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling before I let out a tired sigh.

Nothing had changed. No matter how much Leroi denied it, I still believed that he missed Sire. But then again why did I care? I was only doing what I had to do to stay alive. I shouldn't have cared about Leroi's feelings anymore, but the more that we had sex I just couldn't help but think that he would like me..

Or maybe even the other way around. I quickly shook the thought away.

No. I could never like a Demon like him. He was only using me, he just wanted my body to fulfill his disgusting desires. That's all. There'd never be anything special between us. Sire was the only one capable of being by his side. I was just his temporary replacement.

Then someone would eventually come and replace me. I had to keep reminding myself that.

I began to close my eyes but there was suddenly a knock on my bedroom door and I sat up in surprise. It was late and I wasn't expecting anyone to stop by.

"Yes?"

"Why is the door locked?" It was Leroi and he didn't sound happy.

"I usually lock it before I sleep sir." I answered. Of course he wasn't aware of that since hadn't been to my room in awhile.

"Open the door, now." Leroi said.

I got out of bed and quickly went to the door. I opened it and looked up at Leroi who stared down me with an intense glare.

"Is everything alright sir?" I asked him and without a word he slapped me to the floor.

I looked up at him through the strands of my hair and held my cheek.

"Don't ever lock this door again." Leroi said angrily.

"O-Okay." I stammered. I managed to get my feet only for him to pull me into a heated kiss. His hold on me tightened and we headed to bed where he kissed me some more. We never usually had sex that time of day, so I was taken aback by his actions.

"L-Leroi, what are you doing?" I stammered once he pulled away.

"I'm giving you what you want. You missed me right?" He asked.

I shook my head, "N-No.." I stammered.

Leroi frowned, and without a word he got off of me and walked towards the door. "I forgot to tell you this earlier, but your replacement will be here soon. You'll no longer have to visit my study. You'll be on cleaning duty permanently." He said without looking at me.

"I understand sir." I said before biting down on my quivering lip.

Leroi left closing the door behind him and I began to sob like there was no tomorrow. As I expected, I was getting replaced. It hurt to know that I wasn't enough. But I guess could live easier now knowing that another would soon be on the end of his rage.

I laid down and stared up at the ceiling. My tears were still falling and I cried until I was sound asleep.

The following morning I woke up to start my chores. I cleaned the entire house from top to bottom and then I helped Chef Bran prepare dinner for the evening.

"How have you been Aden?" He asked me.

"I've been well, my replacement is arriving soon." I answered.
