Grand Duke

The pain in her head slowly went away. Then the door opened. She looked at it and saw a middle-aged woman wearing an ankle-length dress. She looked like the innkeeper of this place.

It shocked the woman when she saw her awake, the woman hurriedly yelled "She's awake!". The woman entered the room holding a bowl of water with a small piece of cloth on it.

She put down the bowl of water on the small table beside the bed and she looked at me with a pitiful face.

"Are you okay, child?"

Cassandra was a bit agitated, so she did not answer her.

"Don't be afraid I won't hurt you," the lady said. She was relieved to hear that, however, she didn't trust her yet because she might be a bad person who kidnapped her.

"What is your name?" the woman asked again. Cassandra looked at her slowly, trusting her.

"Cassandra.." she answered. The woman smiles at her.

"Are you hungry?" the woman asked again. She didn't need to be answered that because her stomach speak for itself.

'Gruuuuu'

Cassandra wanted to bury herself in embarrassment. Her stomach betrayed her.

The lady smiled at her, "You must be starving. I will get you some food," she said while walking to the door.

Just then man showed up "Your grace," the woman said in courtesy and bow down

"How is she?" the man asked

"She's okay but hungry. I'm on my way to get her food," she told him

"Okay," he said as he give way to the lady to pass.

The man moves closer to her bed. "How are you?" Cassandra was nervous because of the man's face and how he wear, the man is wearing silver armor with a cape and he has a sword on the side of his belt Cassandra was afraid that he will kill her because she was a demon in the first place and she knows that humans and demons are on the war so she did not answer him.

The man realized that she was afraid of him, so he backed away a little.

"My name is Edward Devon Harrise and I'm the one who rescued you in the forest of mist. You have been sleeping for the past 3 days," he said with eyes looking at her directly.

Cassandra was shocked because why would they rescue a demon but she trusted him because of what he said although she can't be comfortable around him knowing she's a demon and if they know it, they might kill her so she said to herself that she need to hide this fact.

"Thank you," She whispered. The man smiled.

"It is okay, but what are you doing in that forest?" the guy asks.

"I don't know. I was lost." She lied "but why did u save me?" Cassandra asks because it was bothering her who was in their right mind to save a demon.

The man was shocked when she asked, "Of course, why would I not save you?" he said "what kind of soldier am I if I don't save a little child in trouble?" he answered. So in that, she was convinced that they did not know she was a demon.

Actually, She was shocked because you can determine if that person was a demon or not if you looked them in the eye. Cassandra looked at the window and saw his reflection.

Her hair turned black and her eyes turned blue. She touched her face and couldn't believe what she has just seen. "That not me," she mumbled. "what?" the man asked confused

[notice: upon entering the human territory. Skill disguise learned. Now u change into the human body]

'What is happening' she said in her mind. Cassandra looked at him and asked, "where am I?" The man was confused but he still answered, "you are currently in the north guarded by the grand duke of mephiles".
