Sold to a Prince!

In the land of magic and beasts, Sylvia was betrayed by her family and sold off as a slave. She was expecting the worst, but fortunately, it was a handsome prince who had ‘bought’ her! Who doesn’t love a charming, benevolent, and kind prince, not to mention ridiculously handsome? But, little did Sylvia know that the charming handsome prince was no angel but rather a devil in disguise! The calm, kind and good-hearted Sylvia found herself slowly changing under the devil's influence but worst of all, she found herself becoming more and more addicted to the two-faced devil who harbored dark and dangerous secrets. But could she ever fully trust the shameless devil? Or was he just one of the many who desired her hidden powers? Let the games begin! ....................... Excerpt: "Are you getting ready for your engagement, my sweet kitten?" The devil's familiar voice drawled, making Sylvia's entire body tingle with an unfathomable need. She gazed into his dark coal black eyes, lost within them, as he rubbed her lips with his thumb. This man... This man in front of her alone had the power to make her knees weak and her heart crumble. "Heh. Being silent, are we?" The devil chuckled, his hand moving away from her lips to the back of her head. He clutched a handful of her soft silver hair and pulled her closer to him, capturing her lips with his. Sylvia snapped out of her trance and commanded her body to push the devil away but her traitorous body only yearned for him more and she wrapped her hands around his neck instead. The devil's lips curved upwards, his grin widening in satisfaction. His hand then moved down to her gorgeous engagement gown laced with diamonds and rubies which came undone as soon as he touched. The laces, the veil, the flowers, the jewelry, everything was ripped to shreds, leaving behind only herself. An entire morning spent on getting ready and dressing up gone to waste just like that! "You!" Sylvia glared at the shameless devil angrily. She had given him an inch but he went for the mile! She pushed him away with all the force that she could muster, pinning him against the wall, imprisoning his rude mannerless hands. "Heh? Why are you angry, my darling? Aren't I helping you? Why waste your time attending the meaningless engagement, when you already know that you belong to me and me alone?" "Go to hell! Who said I belong to you! I belong to no one." "Is that so?" The devil leaned forward, gently knocking his forehead with hers. "Shall I leave then...?" He whispered, his warm breath caressing her cheeks. Sylvia's face instantly reddened as she couldn't resist the devil's sweet temptations anymore... She gave into the man's wicked allure and pressed her lips over his, stopping his mouth from taunting her and teasing her any further. .......................

The devil in her dreams

That night when Sylvia went to bed, she had one horrible nightmare after another.

She even dreamed of her lying on some sacrificial altar and the devil stabbing right through her heart.

When she woke up the next morning her entire back was covered by a layer of sweat.

"Syl, are you awake yet?" She heard Jane's pleasant voice and quickly got out of bed.

"Here are some change of clothes." She then paused and shoved a bundle of clothes onto Sylvia's hands.

"Ah. Thank you." Sylvia gratefully nodded. This was something she direly needed.

Jane, however, weirdly kept smiling at her.

Huh? Sylvia blinked. Why is she looking at me like that?

"His highness personally ordered me to fetch some for you," Jane explained with her eyes twinkling.

Ah~ Sylvia was speechless.

Just yesterday, the man had terrified her, even ruining her night's sleep and today he was gifting her clothes?

Sylvia couldn't understand the man's actions at all. She sighed and didn't think too much about it.

She looked at the clothes in her hand and some of them were simply too luxurious.

How could a slave like her accept things like this? Then won't the other maids in the castle feel animosity towards her?

This was a recipe for disaster.

She quickly took out the top half of the stack of clothes that looked very luxurious and gave it to Jane.

"This is too much, Mrs. Jane. Please take some of them."

Jane immediately backed away as if the clothes were hot potatoes.

"Eh? No. No. Dear! His highness personally instructed me to hand you these. You should keep them." She shook her head resolutely.

Jane had a soft corner for the young girl because she was always polite and well-mannered and never acted impatiently.

So she genuinely advised her. "Listen, dear. I am already an old widow. Why do I need these clothes for?"

"You should keep them and wear them for nice occasions. You are very pretty."

"I am sure you will catch the eyes of a fine young man in no time."

"Don't think that you will forever be a slave and a maid. His highness is very kind and generous."

"If someone fancies you and asks him for your hand, I am sure that he wouldn't mind blessing your marriage."

"Anna's elder sister also got married in this exact same way. Aha Ha Ha. She even married a court official."

"So don't look so gloomy all the time and be cheerful, girl!" Jane patted her and chuckled.

Sylvia gulped. Again with the terms 'kind' and 'generous'! Blessing my marriage? Will that devil really agree to that?

"Ok. Ok. Now don't dawdle anymore and get ready quickly. We are expecting some guests in the castle today."

"Lend me a hand in the kitchen and wear one of the good dresses." Jane winked and walked away briskly.

Ummm… Sylvia could only stare at her back dazedly.

She then chuckled lightly and went back inside her room to change.

She was truly grateful for Jane and her kind words.

Sylvia looked at the stack of new clothes in front of her and gasped lightly.

Some were even better than the dresses she used to wear. How are these supposed to be casual?

Wouldn't it be ridiculous for a maid to wear such fine clothes?

Sylvia didn't want to invite any more unnecessary trouble her way.

So she selected the simplest dress from the stack, a pale violet-colored one, and quickly changed into it.

It had a really pretty bow that magnified the look of the entire dress, but Sylvia decided to not wear it.

She then hurried over to the kitchen and washed her face in a pail of conjured water.

It was very convenient that Jane, Jenny, and Ana were able to do chore magic.

So unlike the other households, where the maids had to painfully lug around pails and pails of water from the well, the water here was simply conjured out of thin air.

Chore magic was not too difficult so even people with very less magic affinity were easily able to do it.

Conjuring water, small spirals of wind for cleaning surfaces, a few sparks of fire to ignite the wooden branches, these sort of small magic spells were relatively easy to cast.

But that being said, not everyone can afford such magically talented house help.

They were often in high demand and only the royal families and noble families were able to afford such costly house help.

After washing her face, Sylvia quickly started kneading the dough for pastries.

A pot of tea was steaming next to her and Jane as well was flitting about here and there in a hurry.

"Who is this special guest, Mrs. Jane?" Sylvia couldn't help herself and she asked curiously. Commoners like them never had a chance to meet the royalty.
