The King of Fairies is now a Demon Lord

Chapter 39: Will I ever be able to eat you in this lifetime?

"So you knew? That I married you?" Aria asked with a bitter smile as she used her knife to cut her piece of steak.

Rael didn't reply, he slowly chewed his fruits slowly and drank watermelon juice from the side.

Aria's eyebrows twitched a bit, she looked into his eyes and found him also looking into hers.

After what seemed an eternity of two gazing into each other's pupils, Rael let go of his fruits as he wiped his mouth with his napkin.

His eccentric violet eyes stared right into her soul, a smirk came upon his visage as he spoke in a low voice.

"Yes."

She nodded to herself and put the piece of steak into her mouth, slowly chewing it.

Rael frowned a bit,

"I know you are a vampire, you told me yourself, so why are you eating steak?"

After she had swallowed her piece, she said in a voice as tranquil it could be.

"Even if I don't need to eat it and only need to drink blood it is not as if I don't like the taste of normal food."

Rael nodded and focused on his food, in the Celestial Realm, Vampires were few in number and were known to be a notorious bunch.

"Also married vampires only drink the blood of their betrothed one, that is one reason why most vampires don't marry. We have too many restrictions."

Rael's interest irked a bit so he asked,

"Oh, please do tell me these restrictions."

Aria didn't mean to hide,

"The first being, that once blood bonded, we can only drink the blood of our bonded one, it gives us the most nourishment. In my case that person is you.

Second, once we vampires fall in love, it will be for eternity, only that particular person.

Third, our blood bond can only be with one person, he or she doesn't have to be the loved one but it is preferred to be the loved one."

Rael was listening to everything, to be honest, he wasn't yet in love with Aria, sure she was beautiful, elegant and seemed like a good woman, he was still not in love but he wouldn't lie, he did feel extremely attracted to her.

"Miss Aria, do you love me?" Rael asked straightforwardly.

Aria looked at him in the eye, not letting go of his gaze.

"I-I don't know."

Rael nodded, understanding everything, however, Aria broke his train of thoughts.

"I don't love you yet, but I do feel attraction to you, when I first saw you, I deemed you to be interesting but the little interaction made me want you and only you, no other male in my life, hence I connected you to me with a blood bond."

Rael smiled to which Aria too smiled back, she didn't hesitate to speak her mind.

"The attraction how much ever low it is, it is growing inside me, it's like a flame, growing brighter and brighter."

Rael didn't speak, he ate his food in silence but his ears were fully concentrated on what she was saying.

"Just one look into your eyes makes everything in the world and in my life seem to glow. You make me want to see the sunrise every day, to know it's another day where I could have you by my side."

She spoke with a melancholic smile as she clutched his palms with her own, her eyes looked like as if they would cry outright at that moment.

He smiled as he crept closer to her, his head was touching hers, his soft breath brushed onto her skin, he didn't hesitate.

"Don't you think that you are already in love with me, kitten?"

"Ah..."

Realization crawled into her, she immediately bolted aback a bit, her face was pink, her hands couldn't help but start twirling her hair in circles.

She looked a bashful beauty at that moment.

"That was embarrassing." She sighed loudly.

A perk of blood bond was that the two parties could feel each other's feelings through the bond.

Their emotions, be it, agony, embarrassment, hate, disappointment, lust... love, etc.

Blood.

Blood is mysterious, it is ancient, a part of the body which has been since the beginning.

There are infinite possibilities, blood has even blood magic.

Blood helps in rituals, ancestry magic bloodline limits, etc.

And the two Rael and Aria were connected.

Blood is only second to Soul.

Aria chuckled bitterly as she remarked.

"It seems that my husband is not yet in love with me."

Rael smiled wryly at her remark but waited for her to speak as she hadn't ended her sentence.

She hopped from her seat like a rabbit and jumped into his lap like a spoiled princess and looked into his eyes with puppy eyes.

Rael immediately felt a heart attack, did she really have to use the most fatal move ever made?!

He almost let his emotions surface on his face, Aria smiled at this, and changed her position, their face to face.

Rael broke into a sweat, Aria bit his ear lobe as she eyed him like a puppy.

At that moment his emotions broke like a dam.

He couldn't subject to such cuteness.

Rael's face tilted in the other direction, his face was red and pink, he started using breathing techniques to calm himself down.

When he looked at her he almost broke into a series of coquettish laugher.

"I'll be honest, I do not feel love towards you...yet."

Aria's head immediately looked at the floor, she was almost going to cry.

He sighed, "I am not done speaking, I am not in love, at least not yet but I do feel attraction and love can be groomed between two parties."

Her face instantly brightened as she hugged the boy tightly, she even started to cry, her tears were hot, unlike her cold skin.

Rael hugged her back, Aria started to suck his supple neck, a red mark appeared on his neck when she let go of her lips.

She smiled at the surprised Rael and giggled a bit.

"I have now marked you as mine."

He sighed while smiling wryly, Aria was now back to her normal state, her emotions were in a mess before.

"Dear, what do you think is the best way to make a woman fall in love?" She asked while happily drinking the same watermelon juice from Rael's glass.

Rael smirked a bit, he put his long slender fingers to his lips as he winked at her.

"Kidnap the woman."

Aria was startled by what he said and almost coughed blood in the Chinese way.

"Erm.. what do you mean kidnap...?"

Rael raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Literally the word, kidnap is what I mean."

She looked at him doubtfully, "Would you mind explaining a bit."

"Stockholm Syndrome." He replied nonchalantly.

Her mouth formed an 'O' however, Rael didn't stop there.

"It is best if you are not the person to kidnap the person, let someone else do it for you, don't let the woman know and treat her well while she is kidnapped. It always works."

"Why do you seem so experienced in this...?"

Rael who was chucking instantly stopped laughing.

"No no no! You are misunderstanding, I have never kidnapped anyone ever!"

She looked at him distrustfully, Rael sighed at her behavior and coughed.

"Anyway there is another method but it is quite risky because there is a high chance of getting friend-zoned."

She looked at him unimpressed.

"Please do enlighten me."

"If the woman has recently broken her relationship and is drowning in sorrow, offer her comfort."

Her face was becoming cold and stoic every moment he said a word, in order to change the topic Rael spoke.

"By the way, why did you kidnap me yesterday?"

Her facade immediately broke as she started to fiddle with her fingers.

"I was worried, you had many emotions going through our blood bond and I knew that I couldn't lose you."

Realization struck him, "And I am assuming you were able to find me through the blood bond."

She nodded, "Yes, blood is the fundamental of being alive, it has many secrets and has innumerable uses to it that have not been discovered yet."

Rael also believes her to be correct and couldn't help but agree with her.

"Well anyway I wanted to meet you again so thanks for kidnapping me, I am sure you wanted to use me as a subject of Stockholm syndrome..."

He added the last part sarcastically as he eyed her.

Even Aria understood everything and blushed in embarrassment, she pouted exactly like a cute child.

"I do seem to think that it's not me but you who seems to be experienced in kidnapping."

Her shoulders slumped even more.

Rael chuckled looking at her and couldn't help but pinch her puffy cheeks.

"Well your plan worked, you can say that it has the same effect on men as it has on women."

Aria blushed, even more, she seemed to be shrinking and becoming a chibi version.

Finally, she broke into a series of giggles while wiping the slight tears from the corner of his eyes.

Rael smiled wryly as he closed his eyes, his hand slowly went near his plate.

Huh?

He frowned, why did his plate seem empty?

Immediately his eyes opened wide as he looked at Aria who was happily gigging and eating his ham sandwich.

Rael almost fell from his chair as he clutched his chest, it pained!!

He could cough blood at any moment now.

'Why is it always my ham?!?!'
