Muzan's pov:

The wedding day was as good as done in a few hours. And it was good. I believe I have made her happy for that ceremony. She was Akane Kibutsuji in just a few hours. She wasn't clingy or anything.

But she didn't like it when she saw me talk to one of the female servants. I smirked. I've stopped sleeping with just anyone. I just laid with my wife ever since the last meal I had.

When I meet up with a few girls every other night I didn't even touch them. I didn't know why. But all I could think about was I was married now. I had Akane and she was enough.

I know that I cannot have children and that's fine with her. She said that she wasn't even good with kids. I sleep with just her.

I just finished my meal when I saw an old man that was looking at me. It seemed like he wants to say something.

"What do you want?" I asked him sternly. I didn't like anyone looking at me for so long.
"Ah... The real question is what do YOU want. You, Muzan Kibutsuji. Deep inside you want something that you know you can't have." He said to me. How dare he? I'm already nearing perfection.

"How dare you! Don't you fear me? I'm someone way way beyond your league. I'm someone you don't want to piss off. So get lost when I still have mercy." I shooed the man.

"You reigned with terror Muzan. This isn't what your father wanted for you. He wanted you to be more than what you are now. If he will see you now... He will be very disappointed. Break the curse Prince Tsukihiko. I know you're still in there."

I was in awe. How did he know that? I never told anyone of my story. Not even my wife. I didn't tell her the story of the cursed prince.

"Who are you?! I didn't tell anyone that. I didn't tell anyone about me. So how?" I asked. There was still a pang in my heart whenever I remember. I had a family. I had loving parents. I had my sister and half brother back then.

"Find that someone who could break the curse for you. Someone that'll risk his or her life for you. And all these will be over. You will be alright Muzan. Or should I say prince Tsukihiko. Rightful ruler of the Heian Era." He said and in a flash he disappeared.

I was left with my mouth agape. He's someone that must've lived during my time. But how come? My father had ordered for every seer and oracle be killed that time. I just went home and didn't bother to tell my wife anything about it.

I was experimenting with her blood as always and I thought how I can fuse it with mine. She has to be a part of me. But not by eating her. I have grown fond of her.

"Muzan... Are you already done? The demon you've asked for has come with food." My thoughts about Akane had flown out the window when she said that.

I've asked for a servant to hunt for me and he's done well. There was another that I asked to bring me a blue spider lily. Even though I know that I can do just fine with Akane's blood I just can't think about not having the flower.

I ate with much content. The demon I asked to do my bidding brought good flesh. It was when I remembered Akane. She has a better quality blood than I did. What did she eat? Was it in her diet or something innate?

I called for her and she came of course. I told her to sit down and eat with me.
"I know you have questions about me Muzan. I want to hear it." She said.

"Akane what exactly are you? Why do you have a better quality blood than me?" I asked.

"I am a child of the night. I already told you that. I feast on blood of animals. Much like humans do. That's all. Children of the night are more likely demons. But we rarely show ourselves." She replies.

She already gave me blood samples. But still of course I want to know. And if I can consume some of her blood will I be finally immune to the sun?

I left the table and went back to working on it. Her blood must be the answer. If I cannot get it by transfusion then I have no choice but to eat her. She didn't know that of course.

I was finally done with one batch and prepared myself to inject my arm with it. Taking a deep breath I injected myself.

I could feel something was slowly changing in me. A part of my body's pale skin slowly got a new hue.

A part of my upper arm wasn't that pale anymore and looked like a normal person's skin. To say I was astonished was a big understatement. I was petrified but at the same time happy. I couldn't contain myself.

I was glad that I finally can go out. But I need to test it first. I took a deep breath and stepped outside that morning. And I was happy to see that the sun didn't burn me at all. I was pleased.

But I still wasn't convinced that it will stick to me. I know I still need to look for the flower.

I was ecstatic. In this way demons can hunt for food without fearing for their lives.

I didn't notice that I've been neglecting Akane. But she seems to understand that I'm busy. I asked her that we go on a date. She happily agreed to it. We spent almost all waking hours with each other.

Akane's pov:

I felt content with him. I just wish this kind of moments don't end because he makes me feel important. I know I am not his priority but who cares anyway? I'm important to him and it's all that matters to me.

END OF MARRIED LIFE...
