Married to the Devil's Son novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254: 131

Heaven was left shocked after she listened to the young demon's story. She wasn't surprised only because of the story but the way he told it. He seemed very proud of what he had done.

The woman he claimed to help seemed to be greedy. She found a wealthy man to marry and then using his wealth; she went to find pleasure somewhere else.

"That is not helping, and it is wrong." Heaven said.

Tezznin chuckled. "Why is it wrong? Men can go find pleasure somewhere else when they are married and they face no consequences. So what stops women from doing the same? As for the wealth, men marry women for beauty, so why can't women marry for wealth?"

"Men who marry women only for their beauty end up going to other women and women who marry men only for their wealth seem to end up doing the same. No one is happy in the relationship, that is not helping someone. As for women facing consequences and not men, you are right. That is why you shouldn't have helped her. If she gets caught, which she will eventually, then she will be in deep trouble. Her life will be at risk." Heaven said.

"It will be worth it. Would you rather live a long life with no pleasure or a short one filled with adventure?" Tezznin asked.

Heaven looked at her for a long moment. She remembered once saying that she would rather live a short life where she was happy than a long one that felt empty.

Tezznin tilted her head to one side and smiled. "Many women don't get to choose their husbands and they get neglected after marriage. Don't they deserve pleasure? We are only helping them."

Even though Heaven felt bad for the women, she knew that these demons weren't helping them out of goodness.

"And why are you helping them?" Heaven asked.

"That is what we do." She said.

"You don't help humans." She emphasised the word humans because she knew her grandfather hated them.

Tezznin's smile faded, and she gazed at her with a serious expression. "Your definition of help might mean letting humans live a miserable life so they can go to heaven, but we help humans live their lives to the fullest. We don't judge. We free them so they don't have to fight what's in their nature."

Heaven had to admit that the way Tezznin explained it sounded good. She had an answer to every question and justified everything they did. According to them, they did all of this for good reasons, but why? Why would they care?

Taking a deep breath, Heaven turned to the young demon. "Can I choose not to reward him?" She said, changing the subject. There was no reason to argue with Tezznin.

"Of course. You decide. But they all want to be rewarded so he will come back next time with a better story." She smirked.

Oh, she was good. What a gentle way to threaten someone.

"Don't you have anything else to do?" Heaven asked the young demon.

"Like what, My Lady?"

"Like a proper job and then go home to your family."

"I don't have a family and this is my job. I get everything I need and more doing this."

Tezznin gave him a smile.

So this was how they made a living. Her grandfather offered them to stay in his kingdom for free exchange for their services.

"Do you have another talent besides helping people find a short-lived happiness that could lead to death?" She asked.

He smiled. "I can sing."

"You have a beautiful voice." Tezznin said, eyeing him before she turned to Heaven. "Doesn't he?"

Heaven kept a straight face. "Yes, he does. Your voice is soothing." She told him. "Do you know anything about human war strategies?"

The demon blinked a few times, confused. His gaze turned to Tezznin and then back to her.

"No, My Lady."

"Do you know anything about trading and the market economy?"

He shook his head. "No, My Lady."

Heaven sighed and leaned back. "Do you have a good memory?" She asked.

"I do, My Lady."

"Good." She smiled. "I will be impressed if you come back next time with some knowledge about these subjects. With you voice I would listen to your lectures." She told.

His eyes darted in confusion. Again he looked at Tezznin for some sign, but she just smiled.

"Will I be rewarded for that?" He asked, turning to Heaven.

"Of course." She smiled. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

The young demon bowed, then left.

"It seems like you are preparing to rule somewhere else?" Tezznin pointed.
