Human and demon fantasy romance

Short story

- Capital City Escalon: Demon King Val’s castle- Demon Continent-

“Send a message to all the demon lords to come to the capital at once, they will be receiving rewards.”

One of the king’s subordinates left the throne room to relay the message with haste.

“Bring them in.”

As the king barked the order, his subordinates brought in cages.

“What do we have this time?”

“Looks like some Elves, Beastman, and Humans, my king.”

The king looked at the girls with a satisfied and confident smile.

“The lords will be pleased with this bunch, they diserve to have some fun, they have worked hard maintaining peace and helping my kingdom prosper.”

“Huhu, your right your majesty”

......

Demon Lord Leon was different in many ways from the other lords.

He was the only lord who made a difference when it came to peace.

Leon was raised around humans, so he tried to have close connections and ties with all the other races.

He even chose to have his territory on the Human continent, so that he could build good relations.

He also picked that territory, just get away from the other lords and even his own race.

Even though he was strong, only second or third to the demon king, he didn’t like to fight or have war break out.

The other lords on the other hand were just horrible and cruel, with not care for others. The rest of the Demon race was no better, some worse than others. That’s why most of the other races disliked the Demon race.

Leon wasn’t disliked as much, actually most people who knew him or lived in his territory liked him.

Like everyone apart of the Demon race, demon lord Leon had horns. His were short and slanted to a point, towards each other.

Leon has blood red eyes, black/white hair, which was somwhat long and a perfect body one the other lords only dreamed of having.

-Port of Ampool: Domain of Demon Lord Leon- Human Continent-

Ampool is a town at the northern most part of the Human Continent, the continent directly Southeast of the Demon Continent.

“When are we going to set sail captain? I have to get to the capital soon or the Demon King will have my head.”

The Demon King summoned all the Demon Lords to the capital, he said he has prepared a reward, somthing very enjoyable for all the Lords, including Leon.

“ Oh, my lord, we’re going to set sail soon, although you might get there a little late. I’m sorry.”

The captain bowed his head in shame.

“ Pick up your head captain, it’s alright.”

“It’s probably better to get there late any way. It’s a good thing. That means I don’t have to be around all those fatass lords for very long.”

Leon couldn’t say that with a straight face, he knew getting ship wrecked was probably a better option than spending a couple hours with the other lords.

“Haha, your probably right my lord”

The captain now with a smile on his face, then left, to give directions to the crew.

“ We’re setting sail my lord, we’ll have to continue this conversation later, I have some things to attend to.”

As Leon, now alone at the bow, looking out at the brilliant blue sea , he knew across it was waiting the king, the other lords and also his reward.

‘I wonder what it might be? Why would the king do this?’

There was nothing that commendable about the other lords, they usually got into skuffles with each other.

Leon was really the only demon lord who actually tried to have peace with other races, his actions were the only ones that made a difference.

‘I guess the king is rewarding us for just doing our jobs and not going against his rule.’

When Leon got the message to come to the capital, he was concerned. The only other time he was called to the capital by the king personally was when he was getting sworn in as a new demon lord.

So receiving a message out of the blue, he knew it was probably for somthing important. Then when he saw that all the lords were called and for a reward no less, then his concerns on the matter faded.

The king did this once before, a couple years ago, but Leon couldn’t attend. He wasn’t even a demon lord yet. So Leon didn’t know what to expect at all, on his way to the capital.

. . . .

-Demon King’s castle dungeon, evening time-

“Move it! Get in the cell!”

After receiving the king’s orders, the subordinates did their jobs, moving the people, now slaves to the dungeon. These girls are the rewards the king is going to give to the demon lords.

“Why are you putting us in here? What’s going to happen to us?”

“Shut up, you’ll all know soon enough.”

The girls were clueless, not knowing at all why they were taken to this place.

There were around fifteen to twenty girls. The king made sure there were at least one girl for each demon lord, maybe two if the lord was lucky enough to get what was extra.

They were all put in one big cell, with just two bunkbeds. They just waited, some were crying, some were fighting for the beds, some were asking the guards why they were taken to this place.

. . . .

-castle throne room-

There were fourteen lords present in front of the king, they were all in a line facing him. They all had smug, ugly faces and some were fat. They all had agitated and/or impatient looks on their faces.

“Your majesty, what was the reward you wanted to give us? Tell us already, we have been standing here for quite some time.”

“I’m sorry.”

The king then stood up from his throne.

“ Welcome demon lord’s, I hope you all had safe travels. I was going to wait till Demon Lord Leon arrived to present your rewards, but you seem to be in a hurry to get it so please follow the guards over there. They will take you to them.”

He pointed towards two guards, and then the demon lords left.

“ What are we doing in this dungeon, this place stinks”

Then after walking a little ways in the dungeon, they finally made it to the cell.

“My lords, his majesty has instructed us to tell you that these women will be your rewards. Choose which you want, once you do they are yours. The king has also set up special rooms in the castle for you all. He also stated to have fun, you deserve it.”

After hearing that, the lords now instead of impatient looks, turned to pretentious smiles and eyes full of lust .

The girls after hearing that explanation, now started to panic, then the doors to the cell were opened.

“Creeak”

All the lord went in grabbing what ever girl they liked, either by the hair or with brute force, the girls were screaming trying to get out of the lords grasps.

One of the girls was able to slip out from their grasps and hid.

Now, hiding in darkness on the floor under one of the beds. A human girl sat shaking in fear as she watched the demon lords manhandle and drag the other girls away.

She was also trying to cover her ears, but she could still hear the horrible cries and screams of terror from the others as the demon lords dragged them away.

That was just the selection, she didn’t want to imagine what might happen after being dragged away. Then after what seemed like hours, but was actually just a minute or two, there was silence.

She though she had escaped from the demon lords grasps, even so, she still was trembling and crying. Then she heard footsteps.

——

-Demon Kings castle throne room-

“Your majesty, Lord Leon has just arrived and is requested to see you.”

“Bring him in.”

A minute or two after the subordinate left, the room doors opened showing Leon standing in front of them, with a tired look on his face.

“ My King, I’m sorry I’m late the boat I took was a little late taking off.”

Almost with annoyed look the king spoke.

“It’s alright, those damn humans are all horrible,useless workers anyway, so I understand.”

“Oh, it’s not entirely their fault my king, I did ask them to take me here on short notice, so I’m somewhat to blame. But that’s off topic, my king what was the reward you wanted to bestow to me and the other demon lords?”

“Well Leon, the other lords already received their rewards. I was going to wait for you, so I could present them to you all together, but the other lords got impatient.”

Then Leon’s content face started to show some interest.

“It’s alright, my king but what were the rewards?”

“If you follow those guards by the door, they’ll show you to them, but by now I don’t think they’ll be any left.”

After the king said so, Leon then followed the guard out of the of the throne room.

. . . . . .

-Castle dungeon-

Clamp, Clamp. (the sound of footsteps. )

The girl still sitting in the dark, scared to death, hears footsteps. As if they were reminders of the horror she just witnessed, she silently waited as the steps grew closer to the cell.

"Creak"

Then the door of the cell opened. The last time that happened the others in the cell were forcibly taken away while screaming in terror.

She closed her eyes, covered her ears, and tried her best not to make a sound.

The guard looked around the cell, but couldn’t see any girls.

"I'm sorry my lord, but it seems that the other lords got a little too greedy and took all the rewards for themselves."

“ It’s alright, seeing where the rewards were placed, I could guess what they were.”

Thinking the lord might be saddened by the fact he was too late to get a reward the guard said.

“Well then, my lord, his majesty still prepared special rooms for all the lords, so shall I escort you there.”

“Yea, let’s go”

With a somewhat content look on his face Leon turned towards the entrance.

"sigh"

After hearing that conversation, She silently sighed in relief, it seems she has completely gone under the eye of the lords and guards, well not all of them.

Leon heard that sigh, it was faint, faint enough to not alert the guard, but Leon heard it. He looked around the cell, but didn’t see anything. Then he looked under the bed and in the darkness was a human girl.

“Could you wait by the entrance, I want to be alone for a little bit.”

“Oh, okay my lord.”

The guard then went towards the entrance of the dungeon.

. . . . . .

After the guard was farther away Leon looked closely at the girl. He was still out side the cell, but he could still see her hiding and also shivering in the darkness.

“Step, step”(foot step sounds)

He then walked in, he slowly made his way over to her. Leon nor the girl said a word, she didn’t even know Leon was moving towards her, all she could hear were his footsteps.

Leon was now a foot away from her, standing looking down at the darkness under the bed.

He then crouched down, very slowly, he new if he made any startling move she might get even more frightened.

As Leon looked at the girl tembling in the darkness he asked, with a kind and gentle voice,

“ Are you alright?”

But there was no answer. Leon was concerned, he didn’t know what to do in this situation.

If he just told the guards, then the poor girl might get hurt even more.

He then slowly reached out and touched her shoulder, she flinched, he took it back.

“I’m not going to hurt you. I promise.”

Leon was worried now, he felt sorry for her and just wanted to get her out of this horrible place.

“What’s your name? I’m Leon.”

He then, after not hearing a response, tried to ask it again.

“What’s yo........”

He stopped speaking once he heard a sweet, shy voice say,

“Luna.”

Leon had an astanished look on his face as he heard her name.

“Well .. Luna, is it alright if you come out. As I said before, I won’t hurt you.”

Luna shook her head in silence.

Then Leon got a little frustrated.

“Fine then.”

He then reached out with both hand and grabbed Luna, picking her up from the floor.

He was now face to face with Luna. After looking into her teary emerald green eyes, Leon went speechless.

He looked at her with a nice, gentle smile and his eyes were yearning to continue staring at this adorable sight to behold.

Luna didn’t want any part in it, she tried to make him let her go, but he didn’t.

“It’s alright, everything is okay.”

Luna was still shaking, she knew she couldn’t get away, she just accepted it. She grabbed his shirt and hid her face in his chest.

Leon after seeing such a cute display, smirked with content.

“I can see that the other lords must have treated you and the others badly. I’m sorry you had to go through that, but I won’t treat you like that. I’m not like the others, so please don’t be scared of me.”

Luna was in disbelief, she still hid her face and didn’t speak, but she did stop trembling.

Once Leon felt that she had calmed down, he started to walk out of the cell. He then made his way through the long hallway leading to the dungeon entrace.

The guard that had waited at the entrance, then looked at Leon, then he noticed the girl his his grasp.

“Oh, so you found one, those slaves are so crafty sometimes. Should I have this one beaten, so she could learn not to hide.”

Once Leon heard that, he had a very displeased look on his face and started to hold Luna tighter. It was as if Leon didn’t want anyone in the world to even touch her.

“No, it’s quite alright, she doesn’t need to be treated any worse than she already has. Can you just show me the way to my room.”

“Of course my lord. Please follow me.”

Then the guard turned and headed up the stairs and Leon, holding Luna, followed.
