Hello beautiful, sorry for the late update, I have my first ever university final tomorrow! Have a great day! ______________________________________________________________________________

Bliss POV

After a conversation, I feel a wave of tiredness hit me and I think he could see it in my eyes because he gave me a small smile and let me change. This time I didn't go into the corner to sleep I decided that I sleep best when he is beside me. I don't know why and I don't know how but even though the act of him eating a human doesn't disgust me as much as I thought it would, after as short of the day thinking about it.

After he told me that it's his food which I knew before but him explaining that there's no other way for him to eat I couldn't be mad at something he was born with. It's not his fault that that's his only sustenance and even if I don't like it, I can't be mad at him for it. I go over to his bed and lie down with him beside me.

I feel his warmth surround the sheets in a comforting embrace. His smell sets an aroma around my nose that's quite pleasant. My eyes start to shut as exhaustion takes me over and I feel his arms wrapped around me and my body conformed to his as I fall asleep.

The next day he wakes me up with a soft shaking of my arm and my eyes slowly open. "Good morning, its time to get dressed," he tells me. Who would have thought that a demon would wake up a human so gently. He gets up and goes to his closet and starts to change and I do the same, I go and put on my maid uniform.

After I'm done I turn around and watch him get ready. I can't deny the majestic elegance of his movements. The way his hand fluidly buttons his shirt and pops his colar and the way his face seems angelically at peace.

I'm snapped on my reverie when I see him pulling out a phone. This doesn't look like an ordinary phone it's black and it has sharp horns like things on it he dials a number and puts it to his ear. I'm surprised that the horns on it don't hurt him. It must be a communication device of some sort.

The person on the other end picks up and they have a conversation exchanging pleasantries and talking about how there's a dinner party tomorrow. Then he says something along the lines of not coming to work today but how the other person owes him a favor and has to cover for him. They continually talk back and forth about it they eventually the other person agrees and a smile inches its way up on Semjas face.

He says a thank you and then a goodbye and end the call on the device. He turns around to face me with the same smile on his face. "We're taking the day off today," I look at him surprise and ask, "what? Why?" He just gives me and smile and says, "I want to learn more about you and I want you to learn more about me."

With that I can't help but seal my mouth. It's not like I don't want to know more about him I do but to take a whole day off just for that, he must have a lot of time on his hands. I didn't think he would because he's a general but maybe I'm mistaken.

He finishes getting dressed in his suit like usual and comes over with his chain and clips me in. He gives me a small smile then gently pulls on the chain a little and gestures with his hand to go forward. We start walking and I'm, unlike usual, not behind him.

I'm beside him even though he has his chain in his hand and it is connected to my neck I don't feel it it's less master and servant but more of just two people going for a walk or going someplace special. Instead of going to the castle which we usually would take a left as soon as we leave the Mansion we takes a right.

Because I already know that even on the back streets there's probably people being tortured I make sure not to look up. We go a couple blocks then he stops at a shop and goes inside with me behind him. We are now in public, so I instinctively started walking behind him and not beside him.

I look up at the shop sign and it says Demon Lucky shoe. I don't know what that means but I'm about to find out because we're headed inside. The building itself is a short building that has fences beside all of it. It's brown with little tense of green all around and a big horseshoe as the sign. Once we go inside and hit with an alarming smell of animal feces. Because it's not the worst smell I've melt smelt in hell I don't gag from it.

He goes to the counter or there is a young woman with silver hair and green olive colored skin. "What can I do for you today General," she asked with a smile on her face not even taking a second glance at me. He gives her an easy smile and says, "you know the one I want." She lets out an exasperated laughs and says, "always consistent aren't ya?"

He laughs and says, "always." I don't know why but this transaction makes my heart clenched. He's so easily talks to her and has it easy smile and laugh. Will you ever be able to have that with me? No no no I must remember I'm just a soul. After the transaction the woman goes into a room to her left and he follows her, with me in tow.

I'm surprised that we're let out to the back of the stop. The back of the shop is a large open space made out of compacted dirt and some stables to the side. Is this for horses? She leads us to one of the stables closest to us and as we enter I see many animals that look vaguely familiar to horses but not quite.

They all are in different colors like horses and different sizes and shapes but the one thing that is different is they have curling horns that look soft to the touch and their eyes are all deep blood red. Their tails are also not hair like a horse's but seem to be made out of fire or electrical or plant looking substance that doesn't seem to leave their body but flows as easily as water in the shape of a tail.

They're fascinating to look at. They come in all colors pink, red, blue, and orange. Every one of them their color matches their tail substance. The blue one looks have an electrical tail on the other hand the pink one looks to have pedal like scales on its tail.

The woman leads us over to the last stall which was the only one I couldn't, see it's barricaded from the front so I can't see inside. I wonder if it's a feistier one than the rest to be kept like this. With a huff she takes off the barricade for the door and moves the door away so we can see the animal. "Here's your favorite demon horse," this horse is more breathtaking than all of them.

They were all beautiful and magnificent to look at but this one is the most majestic one. It's a deep dark black, blacker than anything I've ever seen. Its eyes, unlike the rest, are not red but a crystal like blue and it still is made out of a fire like substance that starts off as black and turns into blue at the tips. This creature is truly beautiful. I noticed that it has a dark black saddle on it. Are we going to ride it?
