Chapters 12 and 13
-Leon's POV-
- Leon's room, demon king's castle"
(Breath in)
I opened my eyes and looked around the room. I still had her in my grasp, it was like neither of us moved away from the other.
I reluctantly got up not wanting at all to leave her. As I got up I let go of Luna, she moved a little but was still asleep. I stared at her for a minute.
'She's so cute. When she's awake, even more, when she's asleep.'
I looked down at her naked body. It was beautiful, light in color, with a slight curve of her waist. I went and touched her belly with no reason in mind. There seemed to be nothing, no fat or muscle at all.
'She's skinny. She probably hasn't eaten in a while, but why didn't she tell me? Well, I guess if you get forcibly taken into a room with someone who is affiliated with people like the demon lords, then I guess you wouldn't think about hunger. I should have noticed, she is my responsibility now.'
I got out of bed and tiptoed my way to the bathroom taking some clothes of mine as well. I freshened up and got dressed. My usual attire was comfortable formal clothes, that still could be useful if a fight were to break out.
I noticed Luna's slave outfit, nicely folded next to the sink. I looked closer at it, it was like a potato sack. I got an unpleasant feeling from staring at it so my face matched how I felt.
Even though they were her only clothes, I still threw them away without hesitation.
After deciding what to do after leaving the bathroom I walked to the door, quietly opening and closing it. I was out of the room, but I was now in a long hallway.
I was going to ask some maid or butler to prepare food and some cute women's clothes, but I didn't see any. Well, not in the hallway.
One of the doors to the other demon lord's room was open though. So I decided to take a look, maybe a maid was in there. I walked in front and all I saw was gore. I didn't see any lord, but I did see his reward.
She wasn't alive though, she was lying on the floor, blood had seeped into the carpet and was all over the bed. Looking at the lashes alone I could tell how she was treated. My mouth was open, I was astonished and horrified by such abuse.
I didn't want to walk in, I didn't hear a maid or any type of cleaning crew, so I moved on. Some of the other demon lords doors were open as well, only slightly though.
I walked in front of the next one and slowly opened it. I immediately closed it after seeing an even worse case than the one that came before.
There was one more, I opened it. I did see blood on the bed, but only in one spot. The bed was a mess, I looked around the room. Then I saw a little girl, around Luna's age hiding behind some long curtains. She saw me and hid again.
"Um, it's okay, I won't hurt you, it's okay to come out."
"Where's the man that took you here?"
She looked at me. I was trying to show her no hostility, she slowly rose from behind the curtain. She said in a weak voice, "He's gone".
"Oh, well that's good, are you okay?"
"Yes, just... just... he..."
"It's okay, you don't need to explain. Um, do you need help getting back home?"
After waiting a moment for the girl to respond, she just looked at me and shook her head.
"No, I.. I, please just leave."
"Ah... huh okay."
I was going to ask again but I thought it would be just a lost cause. I turned away from the now hiding girl, I walked to the door grabbing the handle. I said one more this before I left, I looked back.
"Um, well if you do need help, just know my name is Leon."
I then closed the door almost all the way leaving it how I found it. I was now back in the long hallway. I looked in either direction, no one was to the left, but there seemed to be a maid to the right. She had one of those cliche maid outfits on, she seemed to be dusting, I walked up to her.
"Excuse me.."
"Oh! Huh, you startled me."
She didn't notice me till I was right next to her. I guess her mind was somewhere else.
"I'm sorry, but can you please procure some breakfast and a pair of girls' clothes for me."
"Oh yes, my lord, would you like to follow me? To pick out what you would like, exactly."
I nodded and she started for the next corridor. I followed her for a while until we made it to the kitchens.
"I'll go inform a butler to come to you, so that you may receive the clothes you asked for."
She bowed and walked off.
......
I went to what looked like the head chef or at least the person in charge. I wanted some food to bring to Luna when she woke up, she probably hasn't eaten in a while. So getting food for her was the right thing to do.
"Can I have two meals for breakfast prepared?"
"Of course, my lord, we have a couple of dishes today. Which would you like?"
He handed me a menu, I don't think Luna would be picky so we could share both meals if I picked two different ones.
'Huh, I can't wait to see her stuffing her cheeks, it's going to be so cute.'
My face turned a little red while thinking about her.
I told the chef to prepare the dishes I wanted and then after he did a slight bow we both went in opposite directions. I went out of the kitchen and I saw the maid that I was talking to before. She seemed to have an old butler with her.
They both noticed me and came towards me. The butler kindly asked what type of cloth I wanted to be prepared. I told him that I wanted one or two sets of clothes for a girl, a little bit smaller than the maid. I pointed at her, I also told him to find some good clothes, not trash.
He then left, I was now alone the maid went back to her duties, and I just stood there, waiting for the things I asked for. I waited a little while, and around twenty minutes the same butler came to me. He was wheeling a cart to me with two covered plates and a little stack of folded clothes.
"Thank you for your help."
I went and took control of the cart.
"Oh, my lord I can take care of it don't worry."
"No, it's fine, I'll take it to my room."
"As you wish."
He did a slight bow and left.
I started walking back to the room, through the way the maid and I went. After walking a little, I finally made it back to the room.
I stopped the cart and opened the door, I was surprised by Luna's greeting.
