The Demon's Bride
Chapter 495: Stifling Breakfast-I

Chapter 495: Stifling Breakfast-I

It came to Elise's notice that Lucifer had been planning for something, perhaps a war, or maybe some other great event that could cause a quake between the three realm. She didn't know which why it was quite a heavy bet to trust the demon.

She didn't missed what Lucifer had said, "For Ian's sake?"

Lucifer's smile slowly fade from his lips, "I know you are aware of what you are. You are the Demon's Bride— the bride who would kill her own groom. Though know you are married it doesn't mean the nightmare have ended. I don't want to burst your happy bubbles but a pinch of reality would save you from further heartbreak."

The frown on Elise's forehead deepened, "Do you mean I will kill Ian as the prophecies had said?"

By the time, Lucifer's smile had disappeared, "Yes," came his one word answer. "And I won't allow that as much as you wouldn't. Which why, my dearest niece. I hope you would play well in my plan."

"What are you—" Elise hadn't finished her words when she turned and replace that Lucifer had vanished from the thin air.

She would kill Ian? Kill him? That wasn't possible, it wasn't the least possible, thought Elise to herself. Her eyes then moved to look at Ian and she closed her eyes. She knew that she had been titled the Demon's Bride but she loved Ian as deeply as she loved herself. She wouldn't kill him for any reason yet people around her told her she would, the nightmare she had was akin to a warning for her.

When Elise opened her clear blue eyes she found Ian had stood in front of her, "You look a little pale, did Lucifer taunted you?" His hand went naturally around her cheeks, sliding down to cup her small jaw.

Elise shook her head, deciding to keep what Lucifer had stated as it could only become another bud of fight between the two which she knew wasn't necessary for now. "Will we be going to meet my grandfather?" It was strange calling Satan her grandfather as she had never seen the man before.

"I would say no but considering our situation it would be a yes," Ian reached out his hand to hold her waist. His forehead then leaned forward to press over hers, "I really wanted to spend some more time with you, away from everyone and everything."

Elise closed her eyes, "Me too," she whispered. She truly wanted a place where they could be at peace, without anyone's harm or danger coming toward them. But for a peace, they needed to root out the troubles around them which was clearly complex.

When she was about to leave, Elise had took her red cloak. "Elly, can I come with you?" Hallow asked. It was rare for him to ask to come out alone as he often decides to stay at the White Mansion where he had felt relaxed to. "I was wondering why I am feeling tired for the past few months. Do you think it is because I am in the body of a chick? I tried to change into a bear and a dog but neither helped."

Elise hummed, "I am not sure either. Ian told me there shouldn't be anything similar to drowsiness or sleepiness to affect you. While you are using the body of an animal, your soul isn't," giving a try to guess Elise said, "Maybe it is because you are spending time a lot around Demons?" Such as her, Ian, Beelzebub and Esther.

"Maybe but I guess it is fine, I feel quite relaxed after all the sleep, but I still want to come with you," Hallow stretched his body. At first Hallow had been quite a character but all the sleepiness had turned him to become more peaceful though at times, the chick would still burst in many angers and other expressions.

Elise met up with Ian again. This time they didn't use carriage or Ian's wings because Elise's were feeling a little under the weather. They had teleportated. In a blink when Elise opened her eyes again, she closed it once again as wind blew against her skin, ruffling her red hair. She pushed aside her hair, tucking them in and opened her eyes to look at the large mansion that was built on the very edge of a cliff that could cause one anxiety by seeing how sharp it was built. A blow of a wind seemed to be able and topple the house down which Elise hope wouldn't happen.

"Stay behind me," Ian said to her. They said families could be trusted and blood is thicker than water but for their family that had never been close tied the saying was difficult for them to use. It was better to be safe before anything come to attack them.

They had came near the gate of the mansion which was built by iron. Elise noticed despite the rumors about how the mansion had sprouted out of no where in a single night, she noticed that the rods of the gate had corroded. A brownish red color had affected the deep black color of the gate as if to make it appear that they have lived there for long.

It was useless, thought Elise in her mind. If her grandfather had thought to naturally make a place to live in while making it as if he had lived there for a long time. He had taken the wrong approach by building the mansion on the tip of a cliff where the town below the cliff could see.

Ian had planned to take down the gate when it opened by its own. The door of the mansion went to open itself ajar. A familiar Demon then pushed opened the door, coming outside with a polite smile and having seen him before, Elise knew the demon was Orias.

"Please come in, princess, young Lord, my master have been waiting impatiently for your arrival," said Orias as though he had seen this coming from a mile ago.

Elise doubted it was Orias who had known it but her grandfather who was inside the mansion. Thinking about whether her grandfather would be on her side or instead the opposite side had her nervous. Demons don't value their family the same way humans do and she questioned what Satan's value of family would be.

Ian was determined with the decision he hold on his hands. If Satan prove to be their enemy the action he would take doesn't need a genius to guess for.
