The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

[2/3]

~

I felt a bit awkward seeing all the women who were trying to ask me out for a dance.

There were too many of them!! I wasn't even able to breathe and was getting suffocated.

'Damn it! Where are you Alizejh?! Just when I needed you, why did you have to run away?!'

I sat in a corner of the garden and finally sighed with relief when I saw that no one was coming after me now.

Tilting my head forward to look up straight, I saw a woman deeply frowning at me.

Don't look at me like that! I know what you are thinking!

I am not a weirdo!

I saw the woman coming towards me.

She was in a white suit and had long white hair identical to mine but lighter and had black tinges on the ends of her fringes.

Instead of my jade violet amethyst eyes, she had red eyes, which were exactly as red as blood. She looked to be in her early 20s.

I stared at her imprinting her image inside my brain. I didn't want to forget how she looked ever, she truly looked very beautiful and had an aura of elegance.

Her looks rivaled that of Titania and Elequeeness who were the embodiment of beauty.

As she came closer to me, I started to frown....isn't she coming too close?

She eventually reached where I was and started to inspect my body seductively, she touched my chest slowly going lower and lower, I didn't want to disturb her for two reasons, first that she looked deep in thought and seemed scary and second, I was kind of enjoying the feeling.

But now I am seriously wondering if I am the weird one or if she is!

Because she is literally trying to smell me! Poking her nose in every corner of my body!

"You are a high different.... normal demons are not like this." She muttered in a low voice.

I pulled her closer to my body taking advantage of the situation by holding her hips while slowly moving my fingers towards her waist, I could feel her boobs on my chest.

Although her body smelled of blood, her hair had a very fragrant smell.

"Umm.... who are you?"

Suddenly the white-haired beauty snapped out of her daze before going back to her cold face and pushed me away when she saw that I was trying to feel her up.

The mature-looking girl who looked like a curious child just a second ago now looked like a demon staring at me with anger.

What she can touch me? But I can't touch her back?!

She sighed before speaking,

"Sorry for that... my name is Aria Verdansha."

I gave out a wry smile as I took her hand by surprise and gave a quick peck on it.

Her skin was smooth, and it tasted of roses, truly elegant.

"I see it's nice to meet you, Miss Aria, my name is Irakiel."

As I and Alezjha had dropped out of the family name there was no need to introduce myself as a Greed Prince.

"No family name?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, it's a long story.." I gave out a bitter smile.

She nodded and replied politely with a slight smile on her face.

"I see."

A feeling of relief came over my soul, it seems that she is as good in personality as she is in looks.

I generally like women who are not nosy, and due to my years of manipulation, getting manipulated by others, trickery, betrayals, etc, I had learned how to judge a person by just their slightest emotions or the way they spoke.

I could already say, that she wasn't good at heart nor was she bad, just a lonely person yearning for amusement, pretty similar to how I am.

I was sitting on a bench with Aria on the side, I looked at the scenery in front of me. I could see lanterns hung on the grassy area.

The lanterns glowed with a golden light, like a million fireflies that come together to make a mini-sun.

No bench-kun going on here!

"Can I hold your hands?" Aria suddenly asked.

I frowned, "Sure but may I ask why?"

Aria nodded while giving out a flirtatious smile.

"I want to research more on you, you are very different compared to the other demons, physical intimacy is needed."

"Is that so?" My eyebrows couldn't help but raise up.

"Oh sorry, I hope Mr.Irakiel didn't misunderstand.." She blinked innocently but her eyes lied.

This girl.... is this how she will play?

"Well, I don't mind becoming 'physical'. You need to research don't you?" I asked her politely.

Sometimes politeness is the best way to counter, at least that is how it is played out between two distinguished individuals or rather nobles.

A red tint appeared on her face for a slight second as she gave out a wry smile.

"Not for now at least.."

"Oh so in the future?" I asked her with a lopsided smile.

"Well....maybe." She winked her beautiful red eyes at me as she took my hand by her arm.

Her jade fingers slid through the tips of my fingers and connected with each other.

We were holding hands like a couple which we were now, I wondered if it was going too fast but anyway it's not like I mind.

I inspected her face, she had pale but smooth skin. Her lips were cherry in color and she had silver hair.

Her red eyes glowed in the darkness like a predator as if she was out for blood, which in reality she was if felt like.

She had a very curvaceous figure and she was also quite likable, my type if I would say.

I would prefer girls who would play by my games, not a lot of talk but also a little bit flirtatious, polite and smart.

Like they say beauty comes with brains.... sometimes.

Most are bimbos.

At that moment, a song started to play and many couples started to dance to it.

Slow dance, I guess, back in the fairy realm I had to this frequently when we hosted banquets.

Moreover, hundreds of couples were dancing, as they were in a ballroom just in an open area.

I hope all the singles got a share of a woman.

The ballroom area inside the open banquet had been lavishly decorated with colorful string tapestries hung along with other fine embellishments on the tables and stage to match.

The elaborate placement of the orbs that made up the chandelier sparkled, creating a serene ambiance as the guests started entering through the garden door.

I was dressed very formally for the banquet. While the lower world did have formal wear that was very similar to tuxedos but not like the traditional loose dresses that I would have to wear when I was a fairy.

Honestly, the loose dresses were a hundred times better than tuxedos.

All the people with a casual sense of style were wearing a black vest and a black tie, while the normal people were all wearing tuxedos with black ties.

The lower world country Valencia was very similar to the parallel human world, I would have to wear a tuxedo with a napkin underneath.

At that moment an idea came to my mind,

'Shouldn't I take advantage of this opportunity to show off my skills?'

I removed my vest, showing the white shirt underneath it. I admired my body....seriously I look good in everything!

A smirk crept onto my face as I knelt on my knees and I caught Aria's hand. She looked at me with an amused smile, not at all embarrassed.

"Will you honor me with your hand for a dance?"

I bowed, slipping off my gloves and placing a hand out in front of me; I heard various squeals and giggles from the girls who were eyeing on me before but I ignored it, same with the men who were staring at me with hate.

"Well aren't you a gentleman?" She deliciously giggled.

My heart almost froze for a millisecond, I looked at her childish smile which gradually returned back to her mature face.

As soon as she was in my hands, a crowd formed around and their applause died down as the soft flow of music became louder and filled the room.

The music was slow and rhythmic, making it easy to follow along.

She calmly followed my movements surprised that I was taking the lead.

My right hand holding onto hers and my left gently placed on her fragile waist, we circled around, in her suit, she almost looked like a man, if only it was not for her two mountains, beautiful face, and long girly hair.

Each step she took mirrored mine as we waltzed around the small dance floor formed around us by the dazed crowd.

I was calm and poised, dancing and swaying to the song with grace since dancing had been something I was required to learn for any formal occasions as a king.

I mean as a king, I couldn't embarrass myself now could I?

Her face gradually shifted from a tranquil calmness to an excited glee as she truly began enjoying our dance.

Her skin glowed from her smile and perspiration, giving her a radiant feeling to the crowd.

Twirling her around as if we had rehearsed for a grand performance, the musicians played along with our dance as if they were drawing inspiration from us.

As the last verse of the song was coming to an end, she followed my lead well, coming to a beautiful halt synced perfectly with the musicians.

It was like we were the only ones dancing, which we were because everyone got discouraged looking at us dancing so elegantly and stepped back to admire us.

Suddenly she took the lead, I was surprised there for a second. I felt like she was trying to establish our relationship hierarchy right there.

Well, there was nothing I could say in it as she was a million times stronger than me. My true feelings at that moment were fear of her. One of the scariest women I have seen.

"That was wonderful!"

"Truly splendid!"

"What a great performance!"

Sounds of compliments and praises from all around us caused my smile to grow even wider as we soaked in the limelight.

I turned to look at Aria but apparently, she had already vanished into thin air.
