She Belongs To The Devil

She gave an alluring smile to him and complimented him in a whisper, "That\'s a very beautiful name. I love it."

"Thank you!" his reply also came out in a whisper. It hadn\'t even been a minute since Reginald saw her but he was already lost in her beauty.

Her almond-shaped eyes had light grey irises. Those grey eyes looked as if smoke storms were trapped in them. She had a tall nose, bow-shaped lips, and a defined jawline. Her silky black hair fell down to the curves of her hips. She was as tall as Reginald and her body was well-proportioned.

Everything about her was so perfect that it would be an impossible task to find even a single fault in her.

Reginald was darting his eyes on her while thinking to himself, "After seeing that demon that was summoned previously, I had thought that a similar hideous creature would appear this time as well. But her… who would even call her a demoness? She is an angel!"

"Even Adeline is nothing in front of her!" Reginald couldn\'t help but admire her ethereal beauty. He had already fallen head over heels for her.

How could he not fall for her when even an angel was maddened by her beauty, so much so that he ended up committing a sin and was now serving as the King of Hell?

She literally made an angel fall from heaven. So there was no way that lustful men like Reginald wouldn\'t drool upon seeing her.

Lilith rested her wrists on Reginald\'s shoulders. She glanced back at the witch who was lying unconscious on the ground and returned her gaze to Reginald.

And then she asked him, "Sweet boy, are you just going to keep on ogling me, or are you going to tell me why you summoned me? I assume that you were the one who wanted me here?"

Reginald was finally back to his senses. He was fighting his urge to gaze back at her breasts while he answered her, "Yes, ancient one. I was the one to summon you. I need a favor from you."

Lilith took her hands off him and backed off a foot. She narrowed her eyes and looked down at Reginald\'s outfit. She looked back at his red eyes and asked, "Judging by the extravagant clothes that you are wearing, I am assuming that you are from a rich and powerful family?"

Reginald nodded and spoke with confidence, "I\'m sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I am the King of Mihir, a powerful Kingdom on Earth."

"So you\'re a King. Interesting." Lilith began walking around the room while checking all the interesting ingredients of witchcraft that were on display.

She leaned down to get a closer look at a snake that was kept in a jar full of some kind of liquid. And she asked again, "And you are not a human, correct?"

"I\'m a pure-blooded vampire." Reginald proudly boasted to the first demoness.

Lilith dipped her hand in the jar and took the snake out. The dead snake suddenly began to slither around her hand.

Reginald\'s eyes had sparkled in awe upon seeing that slithering snake.

He was about to ask something but Lilith won the race between the lips and asked first, "So, what does a powerful Vampire King want from me?"

She turned around to look at Reginald again and guessed, "You must be in a deep problem to have called me here. A problem so great that even the powerful predator like you cannot solve."

"Reginald eyed at the snake that was now slithering around Lilith\'s neck. And he answered, "I will be going on a war with the neighboring Kingdom. And I need your help in defeating someone."

"You need me to fight your war? Don\'t tell me the mighty Vampire King requires my aid to go against some mere humans!" Lilith cackled while caressing the snake that was now resting its head on her palm.

Reginald furrowed his brows after hearing the demoness belittling him. But he couldn\'t say anything to her since he needed her. So he replied in as polite a voice as he could, "I wouldn\'t have asked for your help if I would just be fighting the puny humans."

Reginald\'s face darkened with anger when he took Theodore\'s name, "The Devil Prince will be fighting this war from the enemy Kingdom\'s side."

Lilith stopped petting the snake and glanced at Reginald with full attention.

Reginald kept on explaining the reason behind calling Lilith, "We might be able to defeat him if a lot of us pure-blooded vampires go against him at once. But I don\'t want to leave my victory to chances."

"A demon who we summoned before told us that only you would be courageous enough to go against Theodore. So I specifically called you to ask this favor." Reginald took a step closer towards Lilith and asked in a pleading tone, "Please defeat Theodore for me."

Lilith scoffed at that boldness of Reginald and asked him, "First tell me, why on hell would Theodore be involved in this Earthly war? Did you do something to provoke him? Because as far as I know him, he won\'t give a damn about anyone except himself. So why would he take sides unless you were foolish enough to anger the Devil?"

Reginald clenched his fists and said in a hoarse voice, "He is the one who angered me. He killed my only sister!"

"He did what?" Lilith was shocked to hear that Theodore had killed an Earthling.

Reginald clenched his fists even tighter and said while glaring at the snake, "And he will take the other Kingdom\'s side because he is now married to that Kingdom\'s Princess. He is enjoying while I am mourning my sister\'s death."

A chuckle of disbelief escaped from Lilith\'s mouth. "Theodore is married to a human? Oh, glorious hell!"

She looked up at the ceiling and laughed to her heart\'s content. "I must have been living under a rock to not have heard this news. That cold and awkward man is married! That also to a human!"

"Oh, I need to meet his wife. I want to know what kind of a woman managed to shoot the arrow of love in that fool\'s heart." She kept on laughing for quite some time.

From the way Lilith was talking about Theodore, Reginald felt that Lilith and Theodore were close. A chill shiver ran in his heart. He thought that that demon had tricked him into summoning Lilith and thought that he was now in big trouble.

"As if one of the beings from Hell wasn\'t already enough an enemy!" he cursed himself in his heart.

But contrary to what he had thought, Lilith asked him, "So, if I fight Theodore in this war then what\'s in it for me? How are you going to repay me?"

"Er…" Reginald pouted his lips in confusion. He had no idea what a demoness would want. The only thing that he could think of was money so he asked, "Will gold coins work?"

Lilith sneered and put that snake back inside the jar. It stopped moving the second it left Lilith\'s hand.

Reginald was a little disheartened to see that the snake was never alive. He guessed that it was reanimated only because it was touching Lilith\'s body.

She stood in front of Reginald and replied with mockery, "Oh, sweet boy! I have enough gold to last me a few thousand years." She ran her tender finger over Reginald\'s cheek and whispered, "Offer something better."

Reginald couldn\'t think of anything so he asked Lilith, "If there is something that you want in return then please tell me. I will provide it to you if it is something I can offer."

That was the answer that Lilith wanted to hear. She gently rubbed her thumb on Reginald\'s lips and gave a mysterious smirk.
