-Demon King’s castle, hallway-

Leon walked down the hall with Luna basically connected to him. She held on to his arm while trailing behind him. Each door they passed brought on memories of horrifying noises they heard before, but now they were utterly silent.

The girls on the floor started staring at Luna as if she was lucky. I mean if this man was truly good then she was quite lucky, but if he were to turn out like the other demon lords then she would be just as screwed as themselves.

...

“Okay girls, let’s go. I’m taking you guys to my ship, if it’s not ready to sail then you will stay there for your own safety.”

Leon looked at the girls with an encouraging smile, probably trying to lighten the mood as well as show that the girls were in good hands.

The girls helped each other up, none seemed to be severely injured. Well, none seemed that physically injured, but mentally.. it was obvious most were emotionally scarred.

....

Having been a demon lord all the guards knew not to mess with Leon. It was quite a sight to see one man with multiple women. It seemed every man who laid eyes on the group walking out the castle had gotten quite jealous.

The City of Escalon, the capital of the Demon Continent, was bustling. Just like how you would expect a human city to be like during mid-day, but there were some slight differences.

Instead of humans, there were people of the demon race. Instead of some pristine capital city, the atmosphere was terrible. Crime and slavery were evident everywhere you looked, sure people still had shops and daily lives, but this place was sinister.

Much to be expected of the worst race, disliked by everyone in the world. Of course, Leon was an exception and I’m sure there were a few others, but mostly all of the demon race were not good beings.

Watchful eyes followed the group as they made their way to the port area. Luckily the port of Escalon was only a little bit away from the castle walls.

Even so, they still had to walk through the crowd of greedy eyes. The people who noticed them wanted nothing more than an opening, to snatch away one of those girls.

Leon looked around, his gaze bested the others, the gazes eventually dissipated after they made it to the port.

. .......

Leon’s ship was in a loading area, Leon could see the crew loading supplies on the ship. He also saw the captain of the vessel helping out the crew.

“Captain, I’ve come to check if we might be able to go home to Ampool today.”

“Oh, my lord, how are you? Did you receive any harsh punishments from the Demon King because we were late? I’m very sorry if it caused any problems.”

“Oh no, instead of a punishment I received a reward, it turned out to very enjoyable.”

“That’s excellent and regard your question about leaving the port. We are ready when you are, right now we are just bringing in some last-minute supplies.”

“Great.”

Leon gestured to the group of girls behind him.

“Oh yes, these girls will be accompanying me back to the Human Continent. Is that alright? I want to make sure we are well suited to take care of a couple more people.”

“It’s fine, my lord, we have enough food for more people, but we don’t have any extra clothes.”

“Ok, then can you show them to my cabin. I’ll bring some clothes for them, as well as sleeping supplies.”

The captain did a slight bow, he then escorted the girls to Leon’s cabin. Leon noticed the captain was trying to make Luna go with the others up the ramp. Leon put his arm on Luna’s shoulder, pulling her to his chest.

“Hup, not her she’ll stay with me.”

Luna’s face went red and her eyes widened, as her face and hands pushed up against Leon’s chest.

“Oh, my lord I’m sorry, who’s this.”

“Luna, she’s.. she’s my reward, so treat her well.”

Leon gestured his hand towards the girls walking up the ramp.

“But I would like if you did that with these girls as well.”

“Will do my lord.”

Leon eased off the tension, letting Luna go free. His arm was still around her though, but not as tight. Luna’s face was beet red, Leon looked down at her, he blushed a little as well.

They walked away from the ship, they both were still slightly uncomfortable with each other, yet both were yearning for what might come next in their relationship.
