"That's an… interesting set of guests you've brought, Deziara," Lady Lily said, when Deziara, Rosa, Azrael and Rosa's two bulky guards arrived in one of the many dining halls. The huge castle had enough of those for each concubine to host her own party at the same time and a dozen more for good measure.
The demoness was dressed more modestly than Rosa was used to seeing her. Her hair wa...
2024-08-13 18:35:21 +0000 UTC View PostIt was late evening. Alphegor had been gone for two days, giving Rosa some time alone each evening. Gunna initially offered to remain by Rosa's side until she fell asleep, but she managed to convince the nanny that there was no need. She couldn't leave without guards noticing anyway. Gunna, being kind and a bit gullible, agreed and now Rosa's evenings were completely free and unsupervised.

"Morrigan, come here," He tried to lure Rosa to the bed by waving her favorite chocolate candy (it was a blessing in itself that there was chocolate in the Underworld), but she still stubbornly sat in the corner, her cheeks puffed out.
Alphegor sighed, and crouched down ...
2024-08-13 18:25:56 +0000 UTC View Post"Haku, I know you can do it. I believe in you," Rosa urged the dragon as they stood in the far corner of the castle yard, away from prying eyes. Three years had passed before she even had time to realize it. Days were always busy with either lessons keeping her mind busy or her caretakers occupying her at all other times. There was rarely a time she was alone.
In a way, it was pleasant, a...
2024-08-13 18:17:15 +0000 UTC View PostArmed with a large chuck of meat, Azrael strode purposefully towards the training room while holding Rosa with his other arms.
Oh, God, Jesus, Buddha, Zeus, Odin and any other gods that might be listening – please, help me survive this in one piece.
Rosa had no doubt that once the little beast hatched, she would be its first choice for a snack. If the egg was any in...
2024-08-07 05:20:31 +0000 UTC View PostNext week, on August 14, I am officially launching Demon Queen Wants to Paint on RoyalRoad. I've been meticulously planning for this release and so to celebrate it and also to attract new readers and improve the experience for my existing readers, I'm doing a big Patreon upgrade. You might be wondering – what does this mean? Why should I care?
I shall explain exactly why and what chang...
2024-08-06 10:10:03 +0000 UTC View Post"Time to get back to your lessons," Lady Asdeus said sternly to Deziara, who groaned loudly in response.
"Do we have to?" The girl shook her pigtails from side to side.
"Yes, now let's get back to it," the demoness grumbled and looked awkwardly down at Rosa, then glared at Faenor. "You, slave! Go get her nanny and send her to 'Study room 13'. I am not changing any diapers."
"P...
2024-08-04 03:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostHaving successfully ditched Azrael's magic lessons, Rosa was now comfortably situated next to Faenor in the far corner of Demon Castle's library. As it was proper for every library within a castle, it was grand, spanning three floors and a space large enough to contain hundreds of thousands of books. All the bookshelves were neatly lined and dusted by maids on a regular basis. Meanwhile, the ma...
2024-07-31 04:00:10 +0000 UTC View Post"Today was a busy day wasn't it, Lady Morrigan?" Gunna chimed as she gently scrubbed Rosa's arms with a sponge.
"Mhm," Rosa muttered and absentmindedly burst a soap bubble with her tail. She was becoming better at controlling it, but still found no good use for it. It was too weak to hold things with and not very attractive either. Like a rat's tail with a pointy end.
Her mood...
2024-07-28 04:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostYou have to be kidding me…
Rosa stared at the giant mountain of gifts with a mixture of awe and fear. Gunna and Faenor, who were together with her, had similar expressions on their faces.
The grand birthday party was over, and all the received gifts and presents had been brought to an empty room near Alphegor's bedchambers. After passing a thorough inspection by the...
2024-07-24 03:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Your Majesty, we have also prepared gifts for Her Highness," the overly cute, pink concubine said sweetly while her daughter, dressed in equally pink attire, nervously held a pink satchel tied with bright gold ribbon.
That has to be poisoned right? Or cursed? Rosa eyed the satchel suspiciously.
"Put your gifts on the gift table along with the others," Alphegor said d...
2024-07-21 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post"No, no, no!" Rosa squirmed with all of her one year old might, trying to resist Gunna's attempts to put on the frilliest black and pink dress Rosa had ever seen in her life.
It was the day when Rosa officially lived in this demonic realm for a whole year. Or in other words – her (second) first birthday.
"Lady Morrigan, please stay still. I understand that you're nervous, but we h...

2024-07-20 12:26:40 +0000 UTC View PostNext morning, after breakfast, Alphegor wasted no time and ordered Gunna to dress her in clothes appropriate for training. Well, to be exact she found baby clothes that had the least amount of frills and laces so Rosa wouldn't trip over them. It was refreshing to wear somewhat normal clothes for once, even if Alphegor scrunched up his nose in distaste.
Alphegor picked up Rosa, dressed in ...
2024-07-17 05:04:14 +0000 UTC View PostThree months passed. These were by far the slowest months since Rosa's first arrival in this new world. She wanted to learn to read, write and most importantly – find a way to escape from this world. But she also realized she couldn't just get up one morning and ask Alphegor 'Would you please teach me how to write? And while we're at it, why don't you explain how I can get back to my human bo...
2024-07-13 05:12:04 +0000 UTC View PostRosa wakes up from a sharp pang of pain in her shoulder which slowly subsides into a gentle ache. When she finally gathers herself enough to open her eyes, she finds herself cradled in Alphegor's embrace.
"You're awake," he exclaimed, relief washing over his face. His features seemed strained – a furrow in his brow, pursed lips forced into a bare smile, slightly scrunched nose and...

After the disastrous dinner, Rosa spent a lot of time thinking about her situation. Previously, she had always swept all these unpleasant topics to the side since a small, irrationally stupid part of her hoped that this whole situation might have been nothing more than a dream. But it was time to face this new, unpleasant reality and figure out what it was that she needed to do.

2024-07-07 05:06:40 +0000 UTC View PostFew days later Rosa's room was invaded by a bunch of demon maids. Despite Gunna's protests, they swarmed around Rosa and began tugging at her from all sides. Rosa was so startled by being surrounded by them, that she couldn't manage more than just gape in shock as she was quickly undressed and dressed up in a small black and red goth style dress and her short hair tied into two twin-tails with ...
2024-07-03 16:05:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, Rosa barely managed to open her eyes when Demon Man rushed into the nursery with a slightly concerned Gunna coming in after him. He barked something at her in a slurry of impatient gestures, and she just nodded obediently in response, too tired from trying to catch up to him, to object.
Gunna produced Rosa's usual bottle of morning milk, and then gingerly picked Ro...
2024-07-02 06:06:40 +0000 UTC View PostRosa found it difficult to keep track of the days and months that followed as they were some of the most boring days in her existence. Aside from when she was a human baby probably, but she didn't have the mental capacity to remember that. However, stuffing an adult mind into a baby's body was proving to be a great torture device.
There were so many things Rosa wanted to do. Learn more ab...
2024-07-02 06:05:44 +0000 UTC View PostRosa didn't know for how long she had cried, but at one point she got so tired that she just fell asleep. She only woke up when she felt horrible hunger pangs gnawing at her stomach. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was still in the same gloomy room with no windows. But before she could properly assess her surroundings, her stomach growled with almost painful intensity.

2024-07-02 06:04:25 +0000 UTC View PostRosa stumbled into her studio apartment, dragging sand onto the pristine parquet floor. She haphazardly threw the bag with painting supplies in the corner while propping the failed painting against the wall. As if to spite her, it slid down to the floor with a loud thud, covering the floor with even more sand.
"Oh, come on!" She picked up the fallen canvas, and this time put a pair of sne...

A little bit about myself. I'm a mom of two and an avid reader since childhood. I've always been writing short stories in my spare time, however, I seriously took up writing only last year. My first story didn't do too well, so I felt incompetent and was almost ready to give up. But a bi...
