Roxana sat with Diana and Vitale in a carriage that took them to Rayven's home. Alexander had to go back to the castle for work but Vitale was on vacation. "I am sorry we are taking your time," Roxana told him. "It is no problem," he said curtly. His tone was cold, his face always passive and his eyes distant. Roxana tried to involve him in a conversation but he always replied short and precise and he sat absolutely still although they were traveling quite the distance. Once they arrived at Rayven's…-

Roxana woke up before her sister in the morning. They were still in a room in Lord Amore's house. She covered her sister and decided to let her sleep some more while she got up to prepare for the day. The king's ball was this evening but now that her sister returned, she didn't know what to do. She had so much else to take care of as well and a part of her just wanted to stay at home and spend some time with her sister. She went to see if the chamber had a private room and freshened up before going to…

Roxana was getting dressed in a rush, her heart pounding in fear and anticipation, her palms sweating in worry, and her eyes tearing up. Her sister... her sister was found! After so many years... she found her sister. She kept repeating it in her head, unable to believe it. She was so afraid that this would be a dream and she would wake up. God, please no. Oh Lord, make this day a blessed one. Alexander came to help her as she fumbled with her dress. She was a complete mess. "Roxana," He stopped her for…

Vitale couldn't help himself but follow the young lady. She was all alone walking at night. It was dangerous. Did she live alone? He tried to read her mind but strangely he felt a barrier. He could hear some thoughts, the loud ones, like when she looked around for danger and felt scared and that she was worried about something that could be awaiting her but he couldn't know what. Interesting, he thought. Only a few humans had minds that were hard to read and often those people had a strong spirituality.…

Lazarus showed Roxana how she should walk, greet, smile, eat and curtsy, and other small actions that would matter. Roxana imitated him perfectly and he was impressed. "Well, I lived impersonating others and I have pretended to be a wealthy lady many times," Roxana said. "Do you want me to be timid or haughty?" He chuckled and Angelica smiled. Roxana pretended to be a lady of extreme wealth who thought that everyone was below her. She walked with a scornful look while fanning herself. "Oh, Lord Quintus.…

Roxana went to the defense quarters where she could already hear Sir Fulker yelling his insults. She went to greet him. "Good morning Sir," She smiled. "What morning? It is soon lunchtime. Get your lazy self too early if you are going to come here." He said staying in character. "Yes, Sir." She said firmly, glad that he wasn't treating her any differently. But everyone else had already started gossiping, wondering what she was doing here as a guard. Roxana ignored them and went to the storage to take…

“Your brother?” Lucrezia was utterly confused. “How can you have a brother?” He was an original demon. Unborn. Created. “Well, we were created from the same essence to be brothers.” “Why have I never met him?” She asked. He leaned back on the sofa. “I haven’t met him for many years as well. We are not on good terms. Perhaps you can even call us enemies.” He chuckled darkly. Lucrezia became careful with her words now that it was his brother. She turned to him. “Are you not…

Lucrezia knew that she could not disclose everything yet because what she wanted to do was to reorganize the whole ruler system of the demons and those ruling were very dangerous. She needed Skender for those changes so she didn’t want to put him in danger before that. She took Skender away to somewhere spontaneous just for the safety of what she was going to tell him. Now that he was complete, she could see the sharp focus in his eyes and she was sure her actions alone were giving him hints. He looked…

Alexander’s grandma was the epitome of beauty. It shouldn’t be surprising. He must have inherited his looks which now made her wonder what his parents looked like. A whole family of rare jewels? She did notice that demons had good looks. Lord Rayven would be considered very handsome, Lord Quintus was probably already using his looks to use his other manly tools, and Lord Valos looked like a rich handsome aristocrat. But Alexander and his grandmother were something else entirely. Roxana watched her…

Alexander said nothing but Roxana could see the dark smoldering look in his eyes. She had something to admire as well as he walked over the distance, wet and only wrapped in a towel. His eyes were focused on her, seizing her from top to bottom and lingering a little more on certain places, like her lips, her neck, and her chest. “I knew you would be trouble today,” he said, removing her hair from her shoulder as he walked past her. He came around from behind and his lips danced across her shoulder and…
