The Demon’s Bride

*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. “Master Ian!” She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?” “Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance. “Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.” His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.” He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.” Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. *** This book is ORIGINAL and it is not Translation Join Author's discord: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

World of Illusions-II

With them being someone different than themselves, it was safe to assume they had stepped into an illusion which Ernest had casted. She didn't know what kind of illusion that Ernest had done and what he was planning to do by doing so but being careful was the best option. 

"I apologize," the boy said then while rubbing his nose, "My brother has to work to pay the debt he owes to you. It would take time."

Debt? Elise questioned. "Are we perhaps a loan shark?" She asked Ian in a whisper. Was this a game Ernest started yet again?

"Seems so," responded Ian and he continued looking around to see how despite the inside of the house looking beautiful and well furnished, in fact at a closer look it can be seen the cracks the furnitures tried to hide and how dirty it was even though the floor appeared clean. The furnitures was also outdated. The house may seem beautiful but it was hiding itself from the impending ruin as the household was lacking money.
