A Demon Lord’S Obsession novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Stroll

\~Luna's POV\~

It's been a while since I've seen him. The days went by so slowly, his absence only prolonged the days even more.

I asked Thomas about the reasons for Leon's leaving, his reply was a moderate answer.

He told me that Leon was off in the capital.

He was participating in a competition of some sort.

Thomas did assure me many times that he would be fine, but there is always a chance of him being challenged, though they were slim.

After I recovered some more, a day or two after that night.

I figured out that my crest, Leon's crest on my neck had disappeared.

It usually felt warm and radiant to the touch but was gone now.

Leon must've broken it once I fell asleep.

Or maybe he did it before, that whole night even took place, honestly, I forgot about it.

Being with Leon, I felt the same radiant warmth.

"Knock knock!"

"Hello. Luna, can I come in?"

"Who is it?"

"It's a Mable."

"Come in."

She opened the door peeping her head in. She saw me and I saw her and she continued to come in.

"Luna, why don't you go for a walk in the garden with me. You haven't left your room since the master departed for the competition. It's not good to stay indoors for so long."

"Alright."

””””-

Mable and I were walking through one of the many side gardens, she said that it would be good to get out of that dim room.

It was sunny, the flowers were in bloom. The sound of swords clanging was in the distance.

"So Mable how's your relationship with Jesse coming along? Master Leon said that he brings you flowers every day."

Mable looked away a little, he face seemed to show signs of pink.

"It's not every day, but he seemed to have made a habit out of doing so."

"No thanks necessary, but this isn't the only reason I was looking for you. I was wondering if you wanted to go with me to one of my favorite restaurants in town. It's a little divey but it serves good food and drinks."

He grinned down at her, with his glowing freshly shaven face. She looked towards him with a smile just as heartwarming as his.

"Sure, that sounds wonderful."

"Great, I'll come to get you when our work is settled for the day."

"Oka.."

He swooped in for a kiss before she could finish her sentence. He pulled back, closing his eyes with a smile.

"Okay, I'll see you later."

For a moment Mable touched her lips with her fingertips, with a content smile, as she watched him leave.

I, on the other hand, was off to the side, either watching the show or looking at the blue flowers that sprouted up from the ground.

"Sorry about that Luna."

"It's fine, shall we continue our walk."

"Yea."
