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

Shock, Surprise, and Answer-II

The faces on those bodies were perfect, they were so similar to the faces of people whom Esther had seen before. The details was so intricate that even the small wounds and scars of that person would be at the same spot of the bodies on the coffins.

Esther was in shock. She couldn't understand why and how the woman could create the similar bodies of the people she knows. 

A shadow moved behind them and Beelzebub knowing who it was spoke, "Seems like you had purposely let us enter here, what do you want?"

"I thought you would believe me if I show you my deepest secret," said the woman. "I have been tasked to do jobs such as this, to create faces of people, to make a double out of them. These 'doubles' are simply dolls that I can command to do. However, they are not able to follow complex orders."

"You succeeded? If you do, you wouldn't be here and there would be more of your dolls all over Hell," Esther stated, narrowing her eyes in suspicions.
