"Princess!" Lucinda nodded at the demons bowing on the ground welcoming her as she walked out of her office.

Someone would think that the princess of the demon world would be fighting all the time and spilling blood. But the reality was, she had to check the files all the time. Reading the actions and life of demons all around and then paying close attention to astray ones and then sending someone to drag the demons who make havoc in other worlds.

Making sure that contracts between demons and humans are fulfilled without breaking the law of both worlds and a dangerous request is not made by the demons. All this was taxing.

"I will be taking a break for the rest of the day. If there is no urgent matter, do not disturb me." the demons bowed their heads again as she walked away from the passage but just as she turned.

"Hazel is too worried about Lucinda. She did not even know her daughter's name. Why did you not let her come here and meet Lucy at least once." Lucinda paused with her eyes widening and her lips opening in shock. Even the shock word did not do justice with her reaction.

Was she not born here like other demons? Demons do not take birth. They just apparate?

She hid herself as she waited for the strange demon to speak further.

"Hazel had sold her daughter fifteen years ago. What right does she have to demand information about her daughter or request to meet Lucinda? The girl belongs to me now." The person whom she thought of as her father spoke in a cold voice as he looked at the demon with a frown when she felt her mind swirling. Her mother had sold her to the demon world? What kind of mother would sell their kids!

"You should not be this hard on your daughter too? Do you not want her to come back one day?" asked Declan as he shook his head, " I do not know why she gave her daughter to you but I still think it would be better if you let them meet at least once. What if they both come to resent you later for keeping them away from each other?" that demon, she looked at his face again but she was sure that she had never seen him before.

"I do not want a lecture from a demon who was supposed to take care of this world. But decided to have a contract with a witch and then married her. Now I heard that you even have two children there? Have you all thought I need manpower too? Hazel has many to help her but I only have Lucy. so, I am not giving up on her." Ezekiel announced coldly as he looked at the demon with cold eyes, "it is time for you to leave now."

He waved his hands when the demon sighed and shook his head. Soon a portal formed and the demon passed through it.

Lucinda's eyes dimmed. She had a family on earth but they had sold her here and now they were showing care for her! If she was cared for, why was she sold in the first place?

Feeling ridiculous by the thought, she turned on her heels and left from there.

But as she walked, their conversation kept on ringing in her ears and she could not get rid of all the thoughts.

When she reached her room, her mind was already swirling and she took a deep breath. The thoughts would not let her go until she knew the whole truth.

She walked to her closet and took out the necklace she was given by Eve. Eve had told her that it was a portal to leave the world and see the world of humans herself. But she never used it since she was sure it might be a trick but now..

She held the necklace tightly and cursed herself for falling into the trap.

As she whispered the spell, a portal opened in her room just as she had seen in the room of Ezekiel.

She took a deep breath and passed through it. She felt like the vortex had sucked her and when she opened her eyes again. She was standing in the middle of a crowd.

"Fresh fruits. The best and sweetest fruits of the empire." Lucinda looked around with curiosity and excitement.

The place is not dark. It was not burning but had a fresh feel to it. She could feel cold winds on her skin that made her eyes widen and touch herself in surprise.

"My lady, would you like to have some skewers? They are made from fresh pork!" said an old woman with a smile on his face as he looked at her dress. She must be a rich noble to wear such expensive clothes.

Lucinda stared at the colorful thing in his hands with interest when she noticed a young man buying it and then putting the things in his mouth and eating it.

Was it something to eat? She could not resist herself as she nodded and picked one.

The man gave one to her delightfully. She poked the crispy thing with her finger and then took a bite when her eyes closed and she moaned.

That was tastier than everything she had eaten so far! Her eyes filled with joy and she ate all of it and turned to leave but the man frowned and held her wrist.

"Hey, hey! Where are you going without paying me?" he frowned as he looked at the woman with irritation when Lucinda frowned. Paying him?

What did it even mean!

"Ha! You ate the skewer but you did not want to pay? Who would have thought that thieves would dress up that expensive these days?" he spat as he held her hands tightly, "i need three bronze coins before you leave." he demanded when her frown grew deeper. She had neve paid Stefan for things he had brought and he never told her about coins!

"But I do not have coins."
