Adonis's POV::
'She's stronger than I expected.'
Adonis was surprised to see Sho waking up very early after a long night. Her body was full of red marks and teeth wounds but the mana inside her body was healing them quickly. He was thinking about going for another round but she had a different thought in her head.
"Do..do you share everything with your brother? Isn't he mad about it?"
Adonis opened the small bottle of potion that his master made and walked closer to her. "He's not mad. Don't worry. Everyone in this house knows what exactly happened inside this room." He handed her the small bottle and said, "Drink this. My brother made this for you."
She took it and asked, "What is this?"
"A potion. Drink it. It will heal all those marks off your body."
She looked at him with curious eyes and said, "This was prepared beforehand. Right?"
"No, he made it last night. Nothing was prepared."
'My master might be mad at me. I never told him that I was wooing Sho in my office and thinking about making her my partner in the season. I wasn't going to have s.. with her but when I saw him smiling like that, I suddenly became relieved and threw her on the bed. I guess I need to apologise and give him his favourite wine as a bribe'
Sho saw him zoning out, so she held Adonis from his back and said, "You're very strong. I wonder if we could give it a try again sometime."
Adonis held her hand on his chest and went lost in his deep thoughts. 'I am a being that serves my one and only master. Even though he allows me to produce my heir, I won't do that.'
'I don't want to see the dead face of my dear lover again.'
Adonis smiled a little but tears came out of his eyes. He wasn't feeling sad but he was feeling a sense of guilt, emptiness and a mind filled with heaviness.
…
About 900 years ago.
The human-like demon who didn't have any name was sitting in an alley. The rain was falling on his dirty white wings and the rag-like clothes which were barely covering his body. At that moment, a demon girl with pure red hair came closer to him and said,
"You look the same as the rumour says. Black hair, white bird wings and an appearance of a different kind that is said to be a human's. Aren't you a beautiful one?"
The human-like demon looked above with his heavy orange eyes and said, "Are you going to taste me too? Please go away. I am not feeling good today." He saw the face of the girl and became astonished. Her eyes were like white diamonds shining in the middle of her pure red skin. Her leather wings were decorated with white jed and white glowing stones. The smile on her face wasn't the same as those who tried to eat him. Instead, they were filled with kindness.
The girl kneed in front of him and said, "Do you want to come with me? I can cook food."
The man said, "Are you plotting something to taste my flesh? Get out of here before I tear apart your wings."
The girl pouted her face and then gave him a small pouch of meat. "Here. Eat this and take shelter under a shade. It's raining heavily. You might catch a cold." The girl stood up and ran out of the alley. "Make sure to eat that before someone else snatches it from you!! See you tomorrow!!" She waved at him and ran away happily.
The man was left speechless.
'Is she mad or something? I can't tell what she is thinking.' He looked at the small pouch of meat and smelled it. 'It doesn't smell like it's poisoned.'
His eyes began to glow bright orange and soon he ate the food like an animal who looked as if he never tasted any food. His eyes became golden after his stomach found some food. His body was satisfied to eat good food after a long time. He looked above and saw the raindrops falling from the grey sky as usual.
'I guess I need to take shelter somewhere.'
A few days later…
"Oi, nameless man. Why are you eating that?" The demon girl came closer to him and saw him eating the rotten flesh of some monster. "You can't eat those. It will cause stomach pain." She tore a piece of her cloth and wiped the rotten blood from his face. "Here, you look beautiful now."
The man became a little annoyed so he grabbed both of her hands and pinned her down on the ground full of grass with white flowers.
The girl looked at his face and then, the wind blew his hair and it fell on her face. "You're so beautiful. I can't take my eyes off you." The girl smiled and kissed on his nose.
"Huh?" The man became confused. He thought she was going to tear off his nose but she just touched it with her lips. So he asked, "What did you do?"
She laughed a little and said, "It was a kiss, you dummy. A kiss."
He looked closer into her eyes and again asked, "What's a kiss?" She moved her face closer to his and said, "Do you know what love is? A kiss is a thing that you only give to your lover."
"I've heard of love before. But what does it have to do with a kiss?" He asked.
"Hmm…it's a way to say that you love someone." The man grabbed her hands tightly and asked, "So that means you love me? It's impossible for me to believe. Why would a girl like you would love me? I am not even a demon. I'm a monster."
Her eyes became teary and said, "Who said that you are a monster, ha? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful person with the purest soul. And that's why I fell in love with you the day I first saw you. Your organ eyes, wings like an angel came down on the ground, I won't regret it even if you kill me with your hands."
The man sat down in front of her and pulled her closer. "Why do you think that I am a beautiful person?"
She put her finger on his empty chest and said, "I can look deep into people's souls. You, you are made with a golden aura. You are a being that is created by an unknown god who created you in the future. You are created with a part of the god's soul. How lucky… I wish someone would love me as you're loved by him."
He laughed and said, "Loved? Me?? You're making me laugh! Nobody loves me!! And that god that you're talking about, he's a heartless person! I don't believe in such gods. They have abandoned me."
His tears came out of his eyes as he thought about love and the one who created him but abandoned him right after he was born. He blamed the god who creased him with a different appearance. He loathed him because his life was a living hell.
The girl wiped his tears and held his face. "Hey. Don't worry. God will never abandon you. I am sure he will come in front of you when it's the right time. And you will be loved by him so much that you will forget every hardship you've been through. He will give you a name that will be similar to him. He will treat you, give you the authority to rule living beings one day."
He started to cry and asked, "When will he appear?"
"I can't see the future that far, but I am sure he will come when this kingdom will no longer exists. He will take you back to his world and then, he will take you to the realm of gods."
She held him closer to her body and again said, "I can't imagine how lucky you are. I wish I could see him with my own eyes. But sadly, I won't live that long."
The man felt the warmth of a living being for the first time. He wasn't sure what was the feeling he was getting but it was making his heart feel peaceful. He was feeling happy.
After that, both of them started to live together far away from the city. They were living a peaceful life but one day, she went missing. The man flew inside the city to search for her but sadly, she was found dead. Some demons who teased him, killed her because she ran away from the prostitute without paying off her debt. So she was killed and her head was displayed on a spear.
His heart crumbled into dust.
After that, he declared war against the demon king and wiped everyone from the kingdom. After that, he tried to kill himself but it went in vain. He sat there looking at the kingdom he destroyed with his hands and soon, he lost his eyesight due to the curse.
He gave up on life and nearly forgot about the god his wife spoke about so many years ago. When he nearly fell asleep, his body fell into a cold person's body. He felt his body covered in warm fabric and then, he heard this voice, "Are you feeling alright? Can you understand me?"
He looked at the young man's face and saw the same appearance as his. His soul was shining golden and his aura was the same as his but more powerful and pure. His hands were burned a little but his face was saying quitely the opposite. It was filled with kindness and also, sorrow.
His appearance immediately reminded him of his dead wife's words and tears came out of his eyes. He knew who the man standing in front of him was.
'It's the god who created me. The soul I carry belongs to this man. My creator who will love me with all his heart and soul.'
His heart became filled with mixed feelings.
…
"Adonis? What are you thinking about?"
Adonis suddenly came back to his senses and saw Sho was holding him from his back. She was smiling because she had a great time with him.
"Oh, no it's nothing. I was just thinking about something from the past."
"What past?" She asked. Adonis smiled a little and said, "It's nothing. I just suddenly remembered someone foreseeing this present time. At first, I thought that person was just making fun. But when I saw it actually happening, my life changed. I am so grateful that I have someone in my life who loves me so much no matter what I do."
'I wish I could show her the person she wanted to see.'
He closed his eyes and held her hands firmly. 'I hope you're living a good life somewhere in the universe as a happy person. I hope we can cross paths someday so I can introduce you to that person. I bet you will be surprised.'
