A Demon's Journey-Chapter 43 - Leaving Separate Ways

The next morning, Azaroth woke up as the sun rays fell on his face. He opened his eyes and his vision fell on the naked woman sleeping in his embrace.

He wasn't surprised to see Sophie still sleeping as she was bound to be quite tired because of their sexual activity last night.

Azaroth slowly got up and wore his clothes. He sat down on the ground and began to meditate using his Heavenly Demon Meditation Technique to digest the Death Energy he had absorbed.

His Demon Transformation Mode's power had increased quite significantly. He was more or less sure that if he could use the Heavenly Demon Transformation Mode against that Golden Ape, he could have defeated that beast.

However, it would also be quite foolish to give up the long-term gains for a fleeting victory.

Although having sex with Sophie wasn't in his plans, but Azaroth was sure that having a strong bond with this woman will only assist him in the future.

It had to be known that Sophie had quite an influence within the capital. Her Father, Spencer Russel, had quite a fame because he was the youngest Royal Guard Captain.

However, not just this but her beauty and her friends contributed to Sophie's fame as well. Many princesses and other noble heiresses of the Kingdom of Sinyal were her good friends…

As long as Azaroth had her support, he would have a lot of choices on what he could do in the capital.

The first thing Azaroth wanted to know was just how had humanity grown to the level that they could fend off the beasts, demons, and the Celestials on their own on this continent.

Although from Edwin's memories, he understood that some major revolution had occurred in the human world after his death but he still wasn't clear about what it was.

Moreover, even Edwin had no idea about the powers of the Royal Family.

It was extremely important for Azaroth to know the secret of the Royal Family's powers.

This could give him another clue on how he should further enhance his power.

An hour soon passed and Sophie opened her eyes and yawned. She stretched her arms to their limit and slowly raised her upper body and sat on the bed.

She suddenly felt a cold breeze strike her body. As Sophie lowered her head, she saw that she was wholly naked.

Not just her upper body but her lower body. And then, she heard a voice greeting her, "Looks like you finally woke up, sleepyhead."

As Sophie turned her head, she saw Azaroth seated on the ground in a cross-legged posture and her mind froze.

'What happened?! Why are we in the same room?! Most importantly, why am I naked right now?!' f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Sophie seemed to be screaming in her mind while on the surface, she just showed a dead calm look.

"So, are you fine now? It was your first time after all." Azaroth seemed to be asking those words with a slightly concerned tone.

Sophie slowly recalled everything that had occurred last night and her face flushed pure red due to embarrassment.

According to what she remembered, she was the one who was clinging to him after getting completely drunk. Moreover, she was also the one who had began to remove her clothes after getting into a room alone with Azaroth.

Her feelings, her lust at that moment. The pain after that and most importantly the pleasure she experienced later… She remembered all of it now.

"I…" She didn't know what she should speak. She was nervous, embarrassed, and somewhat angry.

Her anger's target wasn't Azaroth but herself.

"You look annoyed. Is it because of what happened yesterday?" Azaroth asked Sophie as he looked at her with a small frown.

Sophie looked at Azaroth and noticed that small frown. She thought that he was probably feeling guilty about it.

She didn't like seeing him like this.

Some moments later, she softly whispered, "Yesterday was fun… No, it was amazing. I never imagined I could feel so much joy. Thank you, Edwin."

"Hehe… I loved it as well." Azaroth replied with a slight smile.

Sophie placed her feet on the floor and began walking. She winced as she felt some pain because of the sexual activities yesterday.

On the third step, she stumbled.

Azaroth stepped forwards and held her shoulders before she could fall.

Currently, Sophie and Azaroth had a very low distance between them. Sophie's breasts with her erect nipples seemed to invite Azaroth to touch them.

Azaroth's vision fell on Sophie's breasts and her curvy ass but he changed his focus immediately.

"Thanks…"

Sophie whispered to Azaroth and he soon released her from his hold.

Sophie pulled out her clothes from her Spatial Ring. She looked at Azaroth who seemed to have returned to his meditation.

Sophie wondered whether she should ask him to move out of the room so that she could change her clothes or she should just change it now.

After some contemplation, she decided to not care about Azaroth's presence here.

He had seen and done much more than this yesterday.

As Sophie wore her clothes, her racing heart was finally calming down.

"Are you coming to the capital with me?" Sophie was curious about this so she asked Azaroth straight away.

"Are you planning to introduce me to my father-in-law?" Azaroth spoke with a joking tone.

However, Sophie wasn't in the mood for jokes. In fact, she even nodded her head as she replied, "I do want you to meet my father. It would be near impossible to have his consent or support regarding our relationship so we both need to try our best and make him accept it."

"Mhm~." Azaroth just released a sound of confirmation from his throat.

A few seconds later, he spoke, "I do agree that meeting your father is somewhat necessary to convince him but I can't meet him yet. I have my hands full with some tasks back at home. After dealing with them, I will immediately begin my journey to the capital."

These words were spoken rather seriously.

Sophie looked slightly disappointed as she heard his words, "You mean you won't return together with me to the capital?"

Azaroth noted her slightly sadness and raised his hand to caress her cheeks, "If it was any less important, I would have definitely agreed. It is related to my dead mother… My father should fulfill his promise now that I have returned alive from this mission."

"Related to your mother?" Sophie immediately understood that it was going to be impossible for Azaroth to give up the chance of learning more about his mother.

She no longer tried to convince him and spoke, "Alright. But promise me that you will come as quickly as possible."

Naturally, Azaroth gave her a confirmatory nod.

Once Sophie had received his confirmation, she was rather delighted.

And soon, her stomach grumbled due to hunger.

"Let's go get something to eat. I was also quite hungry."

With this, the two went down to eat in the bar of this Inn.

~~

After half an hour, Azaroth and Sophie left the Silver-Blood Inn.

As the two were walking on the path, Sophie asked Azaroth, "You will go straight to the Wrihull City?"

Azaroth gave his nod and replied, "Yeah."

For some moments, both of them were silent since they didn't know what they should talk about.

Azaroth finally opened his mouth and asked, "Are you going to inform your father about our relationship?"

As Sophie heard his words, the corner of her lips rose and she asked, "Getting cold feet?"

Azaroth casually shrugged as he replied, "Who isn't scared of your father in the Sinyalian Kingdom? Even the King won't dare to provoke your father."

"Hehe… Don't worry. I won't mention it to him. You need to be the one to prove to him that you hold the capability to date me. I can just put in an occasionally good word about you otherwise he will get suspicious and might ban you from seeing me. Worse yet, he might even kill you just to prevent any future troubles." Sophie spoke to Azaroth who looked to be in deep thought after hearing those words.

"Alright."

Currently, Azaroth and Sophie were walking towards the village. They were planning to hire carriages and horses.

Initially, Azaroth planned to accompany Sophie in the carriage and once they had to split, he would ride the horse and return to the Wrihull City.

Sophie didn't object to his words. She was thinking and calculating for how long they could be together in the carriage.

And the answer turned out to be 4 days.

After 4 days, Azaroth would be on his own way riding his horse.

Sophie would have to return to the capital alone on the carriage. This was going to be her first time traveling alone without any guards around her. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't nervous. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

Azaroth wasn't thinking about Sophie though. He was more curious about what had occurred in the Glerian Kingdom.

Was the King going to accept his offer or not? If the king does accept the offer, Azaroth could finally use his mountain of wealth to entangle the two kingdoms in his schemes.

He wasn't worried about exhausting all his wealth. Instead, he was worried about not using it all…

There were many ways he could get those crystals and Ardor metals back or maybe earn it in the future.

Stealing the Royal Treasury of a Kingdom focusing on trade was bound to fill his reserves up.

The one who paid for the carriage and horses was Azaroth. Naturally, Sophie still had no idea that this money Azaroth had was looted from her guards.

Anyway, the two were on their way in a single carriage.

Azaroth closed his eyes and had begun to cultivate his Ardor.

Meanwhile, Sophie continued to stare at Azaroth's face and felt her heartbeat getting faster. She didn't know why but she found him very attractive at this moment.

Soon, her thoughts drifted to the previous evening when the two had sex. Azaroth pounded his huge cock in her pussy and took her virginity.

Maintaining her virginity was considered a symbol of purity in the Frascoia Continent. And it would be wrong to say that Sophie didn't regret it…

She did regret it as she didn't want to lose her virginity so soon. She was just 18 years old after all.

However, both of their inner desires were let loose yesterday and she found it hard to only blame Azaroth for this.
