The Princess And The Demon

Geraldine sneaked close to the Door like a shadow cat, her footsteps as light as feathers on the black glassy floor, with Micka's words still ringing on her head...

"Oh my, the rumor has it, that hybrid girl is a beauty indeed, no wonder Eren kept her for himself, his bed must have been so warm during this week.."

"What are you talking about Lord Micka? you consider that pathetic girl to be a beauty? " Geraldine asked, a little upset with h<is revelation

"Of course I do, you may not find her so but for as men, she is breathtaking indeed" said Micka with a sly smile on his lips, his handsome features showing a hint of d.e.s.i.r.e..

"That pathetic human? what do you like about her ? " asked Géraldine in an annoyed tone covered with politeness as the man infront of her was a pure demon, not to mention the Lord of the flames deep, one of the three edges of the world...

"Humm why don't you ask Eren that? i thought you two were... close, am i wrong? " was the sly reply of the man, before he excused himself to leave

Geraldine then turned to her father, her eyes filled with doubt and questions, seeking help and wisdom from her pure demon father, who gave her nothing but a hummm and left as well

Back in her chamber, Geraldine walked back and forth, thinking about the whole situation, could it be that her man, who doesn't know he is hers yet, is interested in the hybrid girl?

There in the edges of the world time didn't flow the same way it did in the normal world, it is a place where even the fundamental basic laws of nature were bendable, there were days that lasted years were ones lasted no more than a minute, making it a hard place to survive, life in the edges of the world was like walking on thin ice, it was never stable in this unstable place making one never know if he will be fortunate enough to wake up the next day, thus, she couldn't say exactly for how long she knew Eren, out in the normal world she can say she knew him since he was two years old while she was two years older, but in the edge of the world where time was full of gaps and jumps, it sounded like she knew him for so many years than she could count, he was the man who gave their people hope, in a better life, where they won't have to hide and fear, he was the first hybrid to become a Lord, he had proven himself and his strength, his ways were notorious but they got the job done, the dark forest that was ones the weakest among the demons empires is now as strong as the other two, he made this place more of a home, and she was with him in each step, in his battles, in his debates, in his plans, in his nights on his bed, she was his, and so should he, no one was more worthy of him than herself, but still, he never showed her a shred of attention as he did to the hybrid girl, even more, he treated her so badly in front of her father and Lord Micka just for the hybrid, he belittled her despite the fact that she did it for him, the thought of that girl touching her man and kissing him drove her crazy, she couldn't forget it, the pearl necklace he gifted her, he never gave her anything, but he gifted a black pearl to the girl on the second time he met her, and that look on his face the day of the ball, she tried to shake it off but she couldn't, something in it was not pretending, the same thing that made him stop taking her to bed since that day, that, and the nonsense the girl was hallucinating when she was torturing her, something about a vow...

Not able to take her doubts any longer, she headed toward his chambers again, seeking answers of questions she didn't dare to ask, tiptoeing to avoid making any noise, she didn't know what to expect from the man if he found out about her eavesdropping out side his rooms, thanks to her strong ability in wielding magic, she could slip through the gards to stand right infront of the door

"What are you doing, stay away from me, stay... " came the cry of the hybrid girl, loud and scared, sounds of slaps heard through the door, her cries getting louder and louder, the agony and suffering evident in them as she kept screaming the word... " No.... "

"Energetic don't you think? " said Micka making Geraldine gasp, surprised she turned to look at him with widened eyes, what was he doing here?

"Looks like he is taking another approach to break through the girl, but My, ain't she a screamer? " chuckled Micka

"What are you doing here my Lord? " asked Geraldine, even if she had her doubts about Eren behavior around the girl, she was as loyal to him as his own shadow, and Micka's presence out side his room was not a normal matter

Micka's sly eyes moved on her body before stopping at her beautiful eyes, few seconds passed with that stare of his, as if he is looking through her clothes which made Geraldine wary of the man, she gulped nervously, what is this man thinking looking at me like that?

"Same as you dear Geraldine, eavesdropping " answered Micka simply, " You are not the only one having your doubts here, but it looks like we over worried,he clearly only wanted to enjoy the girl, i mean just listen to that, My, ain't it lovely"

Geraldine choose to remain silent, Lord Micka was known with his way with words, who knows what would he concluded from any thing she says, and something like this is no less to a treason for Eren

"I told you she was really a beauty, we better leave now darling, and, let us stay in touch"

Geraldine only nodded and walked away from the door, keeping her emotions and thoughts to herself
