The Damned Demon-Chapter 12: Figuring Out The Culprit
"Quick, I don't have all day to keep watching you undress like a snail," Asher said as he patted on the bed, making Ceti mutter inwardly in a cutting tone, 'It's not like you have anything better to do, pervert.' She wanted to say this aloud, but after knowing how twisted the tongue of this rascal was, she just couldn't risk it anymore.
Rowena shook her head with a sigh of disappointment as she turned around to walk out the door.
"Rowena, don't go out already. Please stay because what if she tries to disobey me in your absence?" Asher said as Rowena paused her steps and looked at him, "She won't disobey me."
"I know you have confidence in her, but I don't. So can you at least stay only for this first time just to make sure she is capable of serving me. After that, you don't have to bother," Asher said with a narrowed gaze.
'How dare he…' Ceti couldn't believe this rascal would also demand her queen to watch. This weakling knew no restraint. All this time, he was bragging that the queen was his wife, and yet now he wanted her to watch?
Rowena's expression was filled with reluctance. But after a few moments of silence, with a stiff turn of her gaze, she said, "Okay…Just this once. But only for a minute."
Asher had to admit no ordinary woman would want to stay and watch, even if it was only for a minute. So was she doing this for his sake or to see how he was going to treat Ceti? Or did she just not care at all?
Ceti had removed her entire upper garments by now and covered her ample breasts with both her arms, her face reddened in shame and anger.
Asher looked at her dark red panties and said coldly, "Take that off too, or do you think I am joking? What do you take me for?"
But inwardly, Asher was surprised at how different she looked after taking off all that armor that covered her body and head.
He knew her body was already sensuously beautiful, but after seeing the rest of her supple, fair red body, especially her ravishing face, which had an amorous charm due to the blush on her cheeks…He couldn't help but feel as if he was looking at a fine piece of fine sculpture. No ordinary werewolf woman can match her charms.
Ceti's lips quivered as she stared daggers at him. She had never stripped herself before anyone like this, let alone a man whom she wished to beat to a pulp after humiliating her like this.
She could only swallow her indignation as she removed her panties as well and immediately covered her maiden region with her other hand.
Asher took a good look at this beautiful red-skinned demon who had one of her arms barely covering her plump breasts and the other covering her honeypot.
He had always considered demons as ugly creatures, not because of how most of them looked but because of what they were. He never felt physically attracted to any of the female demons he had come upon in the past due to his mindset.
But looking at her curvaceous nude figure, especially her smooth and fair red skin, her titillating cleavage, her lean muscles that beautifully blended in with her slender body, and her lovely, prominent collarbones actually made him feel something primal and exciting.
He wondered if he was feeling this because he was a demon now.
Ceti had never felt so mortified and exposed while feeling like her dignity was slowly being stripped away under his dirty gaze. She could feel him looking up at every inch of her body with his eyes, though she had no idea that Asher was actually confirming his demonic nature.
With heavy steps, she got onto the bed and laid down while feeling her heart thumping loudly against her chest. She never dreamed that her first time would end up like this.
Asher got atop her as his lips curved into a lopsided grin, "Not feeling so talkative now…are you?" He said as he leaned his face closer till her face was just barely a few inches away from his.
Ceti clenched her jaw as she looked away with her dark blue eyes shaking. She simply closed her eyes and was just waiting to just get this over with quick and consider this as a bad dream.
Asher scoffed, seeing her expression, and raised his brows as he smelled the sweet smell coming off her body, "Who would have thought the great Battlemaster actually had such a slutty body underneath all that armor? Tell me…How many men have you already toyed with such a body?" He whispered into her ear with a cold smile.
Ceti's hands were trembling as she bit down on her lower lip, wondering how long this pervert would ridicule her.
She was a respected and proud Battlemaster and no man or woman till now had the guts to disrespect her like this. She could kill someone as weak as this rascal a hundred times over in her sleep.
"Ugh…I am done. You are not good enough as I thought," Asher said in a jaded tone as he got off the bed, making Ceti suddenly open her eyes in disbelief and shock, wondering if she heard it right.
She immediately turned her head around and saw Asher getting off, making her feel relieved but at the same time, remembering what he just said made her gnash her teeth since he made it sound like she was beneath him.
Rowena blinked her eyes in surprise, not expecting Asher to actually back out himself. She knew how pretty Ceti was and how many men actually tried to court her but failed since Ceti considered them all weak.
"Why are you still lying on the bed? If you still want it, you have to beg for it, and then I might reconsider," Asher said with a twisted chuckle, making Ceti feel like spitting on him as she quickly sprang out of the bed and dressed herself.
Asher did feel physically tempted, but his pride didn't let him. In the end, he used his status, which he didn't earn, to make her succumb forcibly. He could see why those rich but trashy kids loved to use their influence to get things done to their liking. It was quite easy and was something one could easily get addicted to.
But he was someone who always took pride in earning things himself, be it power, wealth, or status. In his past life, he earned everything he had through his own hard work, and even if he received help, he made sure he did things to deserve it.
And now, when it came to Ceti, he wanted to make her succumb by using his own power. She should succumb to him on her own. Only then would he truly feel satisfied rather than borrow Rowena's influence.
At least he succeeded in making her realize that he was not someone who would silently endure things like before.
Rowena had a strange look in her eyes as she looked at him. She then shook her head briefly and said, "It's almost night. Asher, I want you to remember my instructions and follow them without fault. As for the Life Crystals, don't worry about it. A maid will give you some tomorrow. Let's go, Ceti," Leaving some instructions, Rowena immediately walked out as Ceti also quickly followed after her with a vexed face. Even if nothing had happened, she felt enough had happened to make her feel like she had lost half her dignity.
"Wait, what life crystals?" Asher called out from behind, but Ceti immediately closed the doors, and it seemed like she even locked it from the outside on purpose.
Asher didn't understand what Rowena meant by giving him the life crystals. This was the first time he was actually hearing about them. But looking at the four walls around him as he stood in the center of a large room, he mumbled,
"This fancy prison…I have to find some way to get out of it," Asher was feeling greatly frustrated about his current situation.
He sighed as he leaned against the window and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, thinking about the memories he saw when he woke up in this world, especially the blurry faces of the people who tortured him. He felt that at least one of them wanted him dead for sure.
Otherwise, how could a cripple like him end up outside on his own?
'Ceti might not like me, but she couldn't be the one who tried to get me killed…' Asher inwardly mused after witnessing how loyal she was to the queen. Of course, her loyalty to the queen didn't necessarily confirm things, but now that he was calmly thinking about it, she didn't seem like the type. Those who were guilty of something like trying to murder him wouldn't openly diss him since he was not a retard anymore.
He knew the culprit was most probably one of the blurry faces he had seen in his memories.
The only way he could rule out and suppress Ceti was by forcing her into a corner using his status. But he knew that for the rest, he may not be able to do it, especially if those people were powerful in their own right.
In the end, he has to somehow become powerful and cough out the truth from those who tried to hurt him and make sure they regret it.
But then his expression became dull when he remembered that he didn't have mana. In this world, he was still a cripple because of that, whereas on Earth, those without mana were considered normal and could still assume positions of power.
His dark yellow eyes became blank as he felt his situation was hopeless. Was he too overconfident and blinded with anger before to think that he could get his revenge?
'No…Why am I getting depressed without even trying? I can't let them have the last laugh…' Thinking about the betrayal from his ex-girlfriend and the ones he trusted, Asher clenched his fists as he pressed them against the wall. He also knew that if he gave up, he would just get stepped over by the demons here and die a death just as miserable as before.
His gaze hardened as he resolved himself to use any means possible to get what he wanted. This time he can't let anything stand in his way, even if it means doing things he had never done as a Hunter.
But he suddenly noticed something weird,
