Demon among men

***Ethan's POV*** I felt calm and at my ease as I sat on a golden rocking chair and stared at the blue lake as the moonlight reflected on it crystal clear surface but still it wasn't enough to distract me from whatever punishment awaited me when they had their verdict. I couldn't believe that I am a mortal until I was given birth by a mortal mother and was treated with motherly love and care. I was nervous and anxiety when I started living with mortals but I felt that I am already used with them. This thought drifted me back to my stay in the demonic realm when my mom and I struggled for our survival. *** In the Demonic realm*** One of the demon maidens sneaked into the demon king's room. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, ZOE? The demon king questioned after he noticed her arrival. My Lord, your child needs you more than me. He cried every moment and I was already disturbed with his cries. I can't hold it any longer. Zoe replied pitifully. Note: Zoe is a demon servant who was impregnated by the demon king but the demon queen was not aware of it. I don't care about the child again, my queen has given birth to a baby boy and he will be the next heir to the throne. The demon king thundered with a callous voice. What about the promise that we made before we started this relationship? We have been dating before your marriage even though your father departed us from each other. Zoe tried to remind him about their past. You can't compare our past actions with the present. You were my childhood friend and we didn't know the true meaning of love. The promise didn't come from my heart. The demon king explained awfully. You have to leave here before the Queen's arrival or should I order the guards to drag you out of my room? The demon king added to his statement. Zoe became speechless and bowed down to show her respect. She left the room in tears and went to her room. She checked on her child and noticed that he was asleep. She sat down beside her child. She picked a cream and massaged it on his wavy hair. You need to acquire more power and avenge for your mom. I knew that you are a wonderful child who will have a good destiny in the future. I regretted that I was born from a low rank parent and was fooled by the demon king but you are still the next heir to the throne. You are the future demon king and your younger brother is the demon prince. Zoe said with a dewy-eyed face. She stood up and sat down on the hard wooden floor as she was thinking about her life. She departed from the room and performed her duties around the night time. Suddenly the demon queen came out of her room and went to the demon king's room hastily. She could hear the secret entry from one of her maidens. She opened the door without the demon king order. "MY WOMAN, I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OKAY" Demon king said shockingly when he noticed the disgusting look on her face. "WHO IS THAT WORTHLESS THING THAT SNEAKED INTO YOUR ROOM" She questioned with a curious face expecting a quick answer from him. You don't need to worry about it. Calm your anger down and sit down beside me. I will explain everything in detail to you. The demon king replied with an encouraging face. The demon queen sat down beside the king and was looking at his handsome face. The demon queen is decent, well-behaved and beautiful. Her annoying face make her to be more prettier which distract the demon king from other maidens. You are the queen of my heart, I can't leave you because of that low-rank servant. Like I said earlier, I will explain everything to you. The demon king took his time to explain their relationship and first meeting. He also talked about the male child that she gave birth to. I knew some of these secrets but I don't want to reveal it because of our marriage and precious son. If she is the one that is trying to destroy our marriage. I will destroy her before she thinks otherwise. I am having a nice plan already. The demon queen replied non-chalantly which made the demon king looked surprisingly. He was expecting a serious misunderstanding between his wife and him but that doesn't happen to him but the positive one happened. He was full of joy and relief which showed through his face and began to thank her for her understanding. I will take my leave now, I am satisfied with the information I received from you. Have a restful night. I am sorry for not sleeping beside you today I am busy from now on and I hope you understand the reason. She replied and stood up on her feet. She bowed down and left the room. I need the maiden's personal information with her child. I can't rely on the information that the king gave me. The demon queen said. Okay ma, I will work towards it. The court lady replied calmly. What is your next plan? She added with an eagerly tone. I want to chase the maiden with his son out of this demonic realm, they should be living with the mortals. The queen suggested. If we chase both of them to the mortals, his mom will be remembering him about the past memories which can affect us in many ways because the child can't allow that terrible thing to happen to his family. The court lady convinced her What can we do with the maiden? The queen asked with a serious face. We can kill her through some guards or poison her. The court lady answered the question. The maiden didn't commit any offence, how did you expect me to waste a whole demon's life? The queen said with a frightening voice. If someone is blocking your way, you need to stop her without showing mercy. She can't stop unless she was killed by us. I know that you will feel sad and anxiety but your child's throne is important than this. The lady court replied.
