"I'll help you into the shade" I say to the demon lord
"Why have you brought me here"
"Well you would have died other wise"
"Your friends will know that I still live and you betrayed them"
"Haha no they won't, come I'll stand you up there's some trees nearby I'll explain over there"
"The demon lord needs no help, keep your hands of me you filthy human"
"Suit yourself" I started walking away"
I hear grunting behind me as he try's to stand up but to no avail "wait"
I stop and turn to look at him and the look of scorn is plasted on his face (sigh ) "what is it"
"Where are you going"
"This filthy human is going to the stream near by to have a wash after all even though you said filthy in a negative way it's still been a couple of days I haven't had a good soak"
"NO you can not leave me here if I was attacked I would not be able to defend my self"
"Firstly I already offered to move you into the shade which coincidentally is buy the stream but secondly there are no predators here so the only fighting or conflict that would be done here is from you cause if you haven't noticed I don't want to fight and all my actions suggest I'm telling the truth I would not have healed you"
He looks at like me like one would look at something disgusting I sigh and turn around and start walking again.
"Wait... sigh (grits teeth) I need you're help and you seem to have the answers to where are and what we are doing here so fine you may help me up"
"Say please"
"What grrrrrr"
Starts walking away
"Fine please"
I turn and start helping him up and start moving him towards the trees it's not far but in his weakens state it would have taken him a while as I was just about to rest him against a tree it he tackles me down into a ditch he stays punching me as he try's to get on top off me damn his strength is back more than I thought he isn't the demon lord for nothing huh "ahh" he pinned me to the ground with me on my back with my arms above me he puts his face right near mine
"now your going to answer my questions where are we why did you bring me here"
"I was going to tell you there's no need for this violence besides your sitting on my stomach making it hard to breath now do you mind getting off I mean you no harm"
he stares deeply into my eyes trying to see if I'm lying,
"Sigh I swear if someone were to sees us it would look like your trying to rape me," i said jokingly
The demon lord looks at me like he didn't understand then he looks down and realizes they way we look,
Hmmm strange he's gone red in his face "yo yo you filthy human" but as he try's to lift his body to get off me his energy runs out and collapses on top of me he has released my hands at least so can I pick him up (in a princess carry) sigh this demon lord is giving me so much trouble,
"huh your surprisingly light (demon lord smiles) for such a big body",
he punches me but it's not hard as he is exhausted from a little scuffle,
I bring him back to the tree and lye him against it again, he touches the places where I touched with disgust hmm ill pretend i didn't see that maybe he is just dirty (wishful thinking)
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
I walk down to the stream and pull out my spare towel and get it damp good thing I always have a towel thank you hitchhikers guide to the galaxy haha that brings a small smile to my face as I hand it to him the demon lord goes a bit red in the face again as he looks at my face "here wash your self with this"
But it quickly goes away as he stares at the damp towel,
He looks at it like its a dirty rag "don't worry it's my spare I haven't used it before"
He looks like he was going to reject it but I say "look clean your self you look uncomfortable with all dried up blood dirt and grime "the demon lord is not dirty" but he looks at his hands and sees the blood and dirt then feels his face and it has mud ,leaves and his own blood from the fight all over it so he reluctantly he takes it but says "get your filthy hands away from me and starts to clean himself of all the dirt mud and leaves and dried blood,
I head to the stream, his eyes follow me ever vigilant until I start to take my belt off to undress for my pants and the rest off my clothes,
"Wha Wha what are you doing" as he grabs his legs and pulls them close to his body in a defensive nature,
"I'm washing my body" I reply as I submerge myself under water,
As I come back up to the surface and start scrubbing my body I notice The demon lord relaxes, (that's good he will start to regain his strength and heal how ever I notice he keeps starring at my body with reverence it's a little weird,
Poor guy he must not have seen or interacted with a lot off people I know the demon lord has lived a shelter life after all I heard from birth he was a target of assassination by the humans but come on his eyes a slowly drifting down below its a little embarrassing I mean he has the same equipment I have,
"Ahem" I fake cough to get his attention his eyes move up to my face and sees me staring at him
He looks at me and realises what he has been doing and gets red in the face I imagine I do to, then again maybe I'm just over thinking things or it's something else
hmmm I wonder if he is running a temperature I should have some muscle relaxers and herbal tea to help him rest and heal faster then again it could be a side affect of my healing pill I mean I know it hasn't been properly tested but the science is sound although nobody really knows the full affects of some the compounds I used especially Crimson moon root it has been noted to cause small physical mutations if you use it in large doses but it shouldn't cause a reaction like that hmmm maybe because he is a demon his physiology is different well what's done is done can only do simple observation for now and react if it becomes more serious,
"Why did you save me" the demon lord asks pulling me out of my thoughts
"Because I didn't want you to die"
