Chapter 327: I'm A Demon

I was silent like a statue upon her words. My heart was pounding wildly as a feeling of melancholy filled my heart. It never occurred to me before that Celia would say something this deep. I knew she had mustered all her courage to confess her feelings for me, and also accepted my identity. But considering her cold act, how she avoided me and how we used to argue when she was still dating Bern, I never thought I was that precious to her. Or... She did all that because she was afraid that I would know her feelings and ended up avoiding her.

Is this the reason why she broke up with Bern after he hit me? Also, the reason why she planned to frame Bern that day?

"I'm sorry," I whispered. My hands gripped her body tighter. I couldn't say anything other than this, just like when she exposed my identity.

"You've made up your mind. What's the use of apologizing? I know you just want to do your responsibility. I won't blame you. It's just my ego because I want you to always be with me, take care of me, pamper me. I think with your new powers, all of this will become easier. I can make your need for sex an excuse to do many intimate things with you... With your servants and partners' presence, we can feel the warmth of a family again... But in the end, you still have to go." Even though I didn't see her face, I could tell from the tone of her voice that Celia was bringing out everything that was in her mind and heart.

But like she said... I wouldn't back down, I couldn't. I didn't want to lose my little happiness and I would fight to the death to defend it.

"It's late now. I'm going to sleep," she said in the same gloomy tone. She released my hands that wrapped around her waist.

"Good night, brother." Without waiting for my answer, she left.

"Night, Celia," I said as she was almost out of my room. I knew she heard me, but she didn't reply.

She left, the door in front of me closed. But my eyes were still on it. I could understand her pain, her worry but I couldn't do anything.

"Why don't you go after her, Your Highness?" Yuffy's voice came from behind me. Her concern was clear from the tone of her voice.

I turned around and could see my servants' worried expressions.

"For what? I can't say anything and still do this no matter what."

"I mean you can say something that can ease her," suggested Luna.

"Then tell me, what should I say?" I asked. It wasn't a cynical question but a real one since I didn't know what else to say.

Luna pressed her lips and turned to Yuffy and Foxy in turn. But they only responded by lowering their heads.

A long breath escaped my mouth once again.

"For now, let her cool her head," I said as I walked over to the bed. Those words also applied to me since my mind was full about what happened today. I just finished my exam but another responsibility and puzzle awaited me. Yesterday, I was just discussing my vacation plans with Emma and Olivia, but now... I guessed I would be spending my vacation in the dark dimension rather than the beach or the mountains like we previously planned. It felt like... Last night sex party was my only reward.

I was just sitting on the side of the bed when Foxy got up and came over to me.

"Master, may I sleep with Celia tonight?"

"Are you worried about her?" I asked.

She nodded.

"I couldn't be of much help, but I know she needs someone to accompany her right now."

"Go ahead," I replied. Actually, I also wanted to accompany Celia, but I was afraid that would only make it worse.

"Thank you, master." After that, she came out of my room.

I lay down on the bed and pulled up my blanket. Likewise with Yuffy. While Luna turned off the light before she did the same. Their bodies that were on either side of me, gave me extra warmth.

"Your Highness, are you sure about this plan?" Yuffy made sure.

"Yes. I know the risks and I know you are afraid because this is the first time you have to disobey Lord Damon's orders. But I've planned everything carefully. This is the best way we can do by using all our advantages and figuring out what's going on at the same time," I clarified.

"I understand..." said Yuffy.

"I think that's enough for now. We'll continue this conversation tomorrow." Then I closed my eyes.

"Good night, Yuffy, Luna."

"Nite, Your Highness," they answered in unison.

Unfortunately, my body refused to sleep.

After an hour of struggle, I finally fell asleep. But a woman's voice greeted my ears

"Ethan Strongheart?"

I immediately opened my eyes since I recognized the voice. It was that angel!

As before, I found myself lying in the white empty space. But what set it apart, this place looked unstable. Quickly, I got up and looked around. I felt like I was in the middle of a broken TV show. Shifting my gaze to my palms, I just noticed my transparent body.

'This isn't right...' I thought. Although I was not sure, it looked like something happened to the Angel or something was blocking her power.

Once again, I swept my gaze around me.

"Miss angel, where are you?" I said.

A woman's voice answered me.

"Answer me. Are you Ethan Strongheart or not?"

"I am," I replied.

The pieces of light around me gathered in front of me and formed a figure of a woman, just like yesterday. What set her apart was that she looked as transparent as me.

"Then, why does your appearance look different than yesterday? Moreover, you look like an innocent boy in this appearance. Is this some kind of trick so you can sleep with more women?" she said with a frown. She walked around me. Her eyes scanned from the ends of my hair to my feet. Well, I was in my human form now so I understood why she didn't recognize me.

"This is my human form and how I looked before my Demonic seal broke." A bit of irritation was in my voice since I never thought about using my dual appearance to get more women.

She stopped in front of me. Her eyes met mine and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Good to hear that. To be honest I like this appearance more than before. You look cuter and less intimidating." She reached out her hand to touch my face. Well, I couldn't say touching since our bodies were transparent. So I couldn't feel her touch.

As her hand landed on my face, her smile was replaced by a pout.

"Ah, I changed my mind. Your Demonic Power makes you not as cute as I thought."

I replied with a flat stare.

'I'm a fucking demon. What do you expect?' I grumbled internally.
