The Way of a Demon Lord

Chapter 140: The Darkheart Household

Looks like the side effects weren’t as intense as I thought it would be. Or, I caught the Adrian virus (only his pain resistance of course). Anyways, enjoy!

*********

A stern looking middle aged woman entered the scene with a scowl. She had long black hairs and brown eyes. She was wearing expensive pieces of jewellery throughout her whole body. And the gorgeous dress she was casually wearing inside her home was something many lower nobles would die to get their hands on.

“But, mother…” the small girl pouted. “Brother just came home.”

“No buts.” The newcomer rebuked. “Your study comes first. Finish today’s lessons and you can do whatever you want.”

“Okay.” The child’s face fell. But she gave her mother a determined look. “But you won’t stop me from me from playing once I finish my studies, will you?”

“No, dear.” The woman’s stern face relaxed. “Mother promises.”

“Okay!” Life returned to the cute little girl’s face again as she turned towards Adrian. “Wait for me, I will finish everything and come to play.”

The lady beckoned a maid. The maid came and took Aria away to her room.

Once her daughter was gone, the woman finally looked at Adrian. A gentle smile crept up on her face.

“How have you been? I heard that you were kidnapped. Everything’s fine, right?” She asked as she scanned his body with slightly squinted eyes.

“Relax. Nothing happened.” Adrian shook his head. “And I apologise for not being able to bring any gifts; they were lost during the incident.”

The lady sighed in relief and shook her head. “Your safety is all what matters. You have no idea how worried I was. Thankfully, that old vice commander was wise and decided to request aid from big sister before going to the Nemphis.”

“Let’s not linger on such inauspicious events.” He stepped forth. “I missed you.” He said with his ever-charming tone.

“Shhh.” She looked around as her face momentarily flushed. A sigh of relief escaped her mouth. Nobody was around them.

“Not here.” She whispered. “Come to my room tonight.”

“Not possible.” He shook his head. “Do you think mother will let go of me tonight?”

“Oh.” She covered her mouth, disappointment flashed in her eyes. “Tomorrow night then?”

“Sure.” He said.

“Great!” She exclaimed. Her face flushed again as she sneakily scanned the hall, only to find it empty. She breathed out a sigh of relief again as she looked at Adrian.

She composed herself. “Lord husband is not home now. But he will be back before dinner.”

“No problem.” He said. “I will meet him sooner or later.”

“And about your brother…” the lady looked to her left and then to the right, confirming again that they were alone. “Beware, something about him… just does not feel right.”

Adrian looked into her eyes. She felt as of her entire being was being sucked into those vacuuming black orbs. But she did not resist; she had already fallen victim to his charms years ago.

Suddenly, that feeling was gone, bring her state back to normal.

“Don’t worry.” His charming voice entered her ears, making even her womanhood tingle. “He can’t do anything to me. Thanks anyway.”

“That’s right.” She sighed. “Big sister will protect you.”

He only smiled in response.

“Speaking of big sister, she must be waiting.” Her whole body shivered for a moment. “Hurry up and go to her. Or I might die this time.” She suddenly remembered something she had been trying to forget for years.

Adrian laughed. “See you later then.” He turned back and exited through the same door he used to enter.

The maids and servants were busy accommodating the Royal Guardians of Nemphis. After all, they were strong circlers serving the Royalty of Nemphis.

But Adrian gave the scene one last glance before heading to a different direction- towards another manor inside the premises of the Darkheart Household.

Though the building was smaller compared to the main mansion, the grand architecture was on par with its larger counterpart. Moreover, the house was actually considerably large since the whole edifice only belonged to two people.

Unlike the one before the door of core mansion, there were no welcoming party stationed here. Despite the tens of exotic trees aesthetic planted outside the house, it looked barren.

But he did not mind since he was expecting this anyway. He ambled through the entrance, stepping directly into the gorgeously designed hall.

There was a bright chandelier hanging from the intricately designed ceiling. The wooden furnitures gave off archaic vibes; the trees they were moulded from were at least a century old. Rare and colourful flowery shrubs were planted across the chamber on vases made from precious magical metals. The floor below was mosaicked with marbles of different but harmonising colours.

Anyone who had never visited an royal palace would say that this was the most beautiful hall there was. But Adrian remained nonchalant as he walked through the hall all the way to its epicentre.

He was just about to sit on one of the aesthetically archaic sofas when a pleasant voice reigned in his ears.

“Greetings, young master.” A young lady wearing a sexy maid outfit was standing with a slight bow, revealing her cleavage. Her beauty surpassed all of the maids he had met the last two years, including the ones at the Royal family of Nemphis.

Though she did not make a single sound during her arrival, how could she escape the senses of Adrian.

Adrian sat down comfortably on the crouch and scanned her head to toe. Unlike the previous maids, the young lady before him was totally composed. He was not surprised, since she was accustomed to the otherworldly looks of him and his mother. 

He was the personal maid of his mother after all- hand picked by his mother herself after rigorous screening through a large scale audition, and later trained by veterans from all fields- from cooking and housekeeping to massaging and beyond.

“You have grown even more beautiful, Rhea.” He smiled. His voice was charming as always.

“Thank you, young master.” Her head momentarily bowed a little lower. “Milady is bathing. She will be here shortly.”

“Hmm.” He nodded. “No wonder she isn’t here.”

He spread his legs and patted his left thigh. The maid did not waste any time and sat on his lap with both of her legs between his.

“You did not forget everything, did you?” He asked with a smile on his face. His right hand gently caressed her butt over her skirt.

She shook her head. For the first time, a smile formed on her face as she wrapped both of her arms around his neck. She stared at his abyssal eyes for a few seconds before initiating the kiss.

Both of their tongues wrapped one another’s before their lips could even touch. She tightened the hug around his neck while his right hand sneaked inside her skirt and gave that ample ass an erotic knead.

“Mmh…” A suppressed moan escaped her busy lips as her cheeks turned red. But she continued to skilfully use her tongue nonetheless less.

Clicking sounds resounded through the silent room as both of them drenched their mouths with each other’s saliva.

All of a sudden, a familiar but excited voice prompted the two to stop in their tracks.

“You are here.”
