Chapters 18 and 19

-Demon King's castle, hallway-

-Girl's POV-

'Why, why does this keep happening, I don't want to be taken and used again! Please, someone, help!'

My eyes were covered, I didn't want to see the bodies or what was happening to the others. I didn't resist their manhandling, I just gave up, even though I wanted help, I knew it wouldn't come.

'The man from before, he said he would help me. His name was..?'

I looked through my finger and I saw him, the man who was kind enough to ask if I was okay.

He was in front of a room, he was discussing something with one of the men who came to take us away. A girl was clinging to him, she seemed almost as distressed as we did.

'Huh, no, no, no, Leon please don't, don't give her to them, I thought you wanted to help.'

At this point I tried yelling for help and tried getting away, one of the guards covered my mouth and forced me to the ground, with my hands behind my back. I could hear those guards laughing, seeming to enjoy the situation that was unfolding.

"If you don't struggle we'll be gentle, well for the first couple of times, wahaha."

I turned my face towards the people having a discussion and I just started to cry. It was painful, I didn't want to deal with this anymore.

I looked at the girl beside Leon, she seemed quite scared. Then the man left the two, then I saw Leon seem to comfort the girl.

I closed my eyes still crying in fear. I really wanted help. After I opened them I saw Leon turn toward us, he was walking our way. The girl by his side scurried to the room and closed the door.

..

(Leon's POV)

"As you wish."

It put a nice smile on my face as she agreed to the deal. It was now time to have a little fun.

"Get in the room Luna and don't come out till I say so."

I looked at her and she hurried to the room without a word. I turned to the men with a displeased look on my face and started walking. They were having a grand old time with those poor girls. It's time to stop this disgusting sight.

They were almost done with their jobs, they took out all the deceased bodies, and placed them on a cart. 'Damn those sick bastard demon lords.'

There were three bodies on that cart and a man pulled it away.

While the girls still alive were being tormented and taken by the guards. I could see the girl from before on the floor, an elf tied up over on guard's shoulder, and many other girls in more or less the same situation.

I knew demons had a somewhat devilish drive to them, but this sight makes me wish I wasn't a demon at all. To be compared to those who'd willing do such vile things.

—————

"You there, whatever your name is. Stop what you and your men are doing and give me those slave girls."

"I'm sorry my lord, but we can't do that, we have no obligation to follow your orders."

Leon got a little agitated, his face presented how he felt pretty well.

"Give me the girls, if you're going to discard them, then let me take them."

"My lord, it seems you don't understand, we received orders from the king to dispose of these things. So I'm sorry, I'll have to decline your offer."

"It's fine, if the king gets on your back about it, tell him that it was my fault for you not doing your jobs."

"For the last time, no. Come on let's get a move on!"

Leon looked at the man gesturing to the guards under his control to move out.

"Huh(sigh)"

Before the man knew what was happening Leon's hand was already tightly gripped around his throat. Leon was severely ticked off at this point.

He didn't care whether he had to use force to get what he wanted. Since that was the only option left, he took it, grabbing the main man by the neck.

"W. Hat... a..re yo.u doing?"

Leon looked straight at the man with not a hint of fear in his eyes. All the man could see was death staring him in the face.

"I asked you nicely, but you refused. So for the last time, before I break your neck, let me take the girls off your hands."

Some of the guards, after putting the girls down, faced their weapons toward Leon.

"Let go of him!"

Leon looked at the guards, not even turning his head.

"No."

Leon's grip got tighter and tighter as every second went by.

"I suggest you put your weapons down. You wouldn't want to get your throats crushed, like your superior here, would you?"

The guards slowly and hesitantly put down their weapons, looking at each other and at the man in the air struggling to get loose from Leon's grip.

Leon looked back at the man in his grasp. His eyes showed not a hint of fear or hesitation, he was ready to kill. The man knew it.

"Fi. ine. Wee..'ll, we..'ll st..op."

The main man, almost faint with lack of oxygen, yielded, approving of what Leon desired. After getting what he wanted, Leon dropped the man. Leon's face was back to normal, with a fake smile.

"That's great, I hope we won't have another one of these issues later on.

The guards placed the girls down on the ground, backing away a little from Leon.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Leon looked down at the man on the floor, he was rubbing his now bruised neck.

"You.. monster."

The man looked at Leon with anger and hatred, he really wanted to kill Leon.

The man tried signaling the guards under his command to attack Leon, but they didn't move. Leon was still looking at the man, he knew exactly what the man was planning. He crouched down getting closer to the man on the floor.

"They're not going to attack, your too late for that move. If you think you'll be able to beat me, then your just stupid. At least your men are smart enough to figure out they won't win."

While on the floor, the man was frozen with fear trying to back away.

"Because it doesn't seem that you injured the girls too much, I won't kill you. So why don't you and your men get up and leave."

"Yes my lord, let's get out of here men!"

"One last piece of advice, if you ever, ever cross me again, even if it's my line of sight, you're dead.!"

Leon watched the group run off out of the hallway. He stood there for a moment, with a smirk on his face.

The girls, after watching him at work just sat there. Leon untied the ones tied up and helped them get on their feet.
