SHE'S THE DEMON

24

Hello, I feel like I'm on a rollercoaster as the book is going to end in less than eight chapters now, I apologise for the countdown, it's necessary as this is the first time I've been stuck writing a complete book till the end and I want to thank you guys as well for sticking with me to the end of the book as well.

So, Let's get it.

Loren's visit was unexpected. It surprised and annoyed me that he came here. If my father were home he would have been tortured and killed. I'm grateful he had just stepped out a few hours before Loren came. I don't want another innocent blood, particularly the blood of the man I love on my hands. Locking the door, I rest my back on the door and release a deep sigh I held in sweat caked my back as I prayed to whatever source of power to delay my father from coming back home early.

The man had been running around trying to set up my first meeting with the duke. For a man so bloodthirsty he looks excited about selling his daughter for power. He had used his threat meaningfully and targeted my weak spot by using Loren. He must have eyes on him so, I need to plan carefully Loren coming here was a mistake I will not let happen again. I guess it's time to speed up plans and meet with this duke.

I spend the last few days planning and researching how to reverse a decree sighed with the demon king's seal and turns out it's a shitty long process but if I can get the duke's help, it would be a little bit easy and fast. The only issue is convincing the twelfth elder and some demon nobles. Those pricks don't like me anymore considering the disgraceful act I pulled at their meeting and the rather tasteful words I left for them before leaving I can say for sure I will be fucked but if it can work out then I will be grateful and probably owe them for the rest of my life.

I guess this is why they say it's impossible to reverse the demon king's seal. It takes the agreement of all sides or just the powerful people in charge to reverse the seal and in most cases, It doesn't work. But I know mine will, lots of demon nobles hate my father he was just lucky to be friends with some more powerful than the hate seeking ones and I hope they will be on my side when the time for action comes.

What is Loren doing to me honestly, here I am hoping to break an impossible seal so I can be with a man I will live longer than. Fuck it though I will do anything for him and to be with him. I sigh and climb the stairs to my room. I smile. Seeing Loren struggle with steps was funny and cute but him coming all the way here to see me cause he missed me and was worried about me tugged at my heartstrings. I will love that boy to pieces.

I open my wardrobe and take out a black orb. It's a communication orb that is used majorly in the demon realm. Channelling energy into the orb, you can call the name of the person you want to speak with. The higher or more powerful they are, the more demonic energy the orb takes from you. it uses that as a power source to get you to speak with whoever you want. The orbs also have ranks so at times it isn't easy to speak with who you want, like the twelfth elder I have to meet him in person for me to talk with him. My orb won't be able to get me across.

I managed to get in contact with the duke yesterday, I had to channel most of my energy all day on Wednesday to find his signal and finally spoke with him yesterday. It was brief I just introduced who I was to him, told him I had a plan to break the engagement off and I would contact him again. He didn't say a word when I spoke and only hummed and cut off the communication.

I rub my head the feeling of an incoming headache worries me. I took the orb and sat on my bed and crossed my legs. I closed my eyes and focused slowly powering the orb I searched for traces of Duke Viel's energy. I sat for fifteen minutes and started sweating buckets, tracing him was hard as the orb was draining my energy quickly, the fastest way would have been for him to reach out but I know that would never happen.
