HellInside the Palace“Careful Angel”Zachary smiled and guided Diana through the stairs who was staring at the Grand Palace in awe. The beautifully designed interiors were decorated with unique and specially designed artifacts, from a mere mattress to the grand throne, everything was embroidered with jewels and gold. Her eyes dazzled with the luminance of the flamboyant chandelier and the silver mirrors hanging on the wall.“I thought you live in a cave but your house is so beautiful. No marvelous. No, it isn’t a house, it’s a mansion but it’s bigger than mine. How come you’re this rich?“, she kept talking to herself. Zachary guffawed and looked at Diana. She looked deep into her thoughts and continued debating with herself. He chuckled at her innocence and lifted her blue gown a bit, saving her from getting tripped.“Sorry for being more powerful than your brother, your majesty”, he grinned. Diana narrowed her eyes at him. She slapped his arm only to hiss in pain, “Oww!! Mad prince
Diana was walking absentmindedly through the Rose Garden. Her eyes were puffy and red from crying hard. Her face was devoid of any emotions but one could see the agony and hurt hidden behind that blank masque if paid close attention.Zachary was about to siege her kingdom, snatch Arthur’s position, and destroy the happiness of the denizens of Heaven. But why? Hadn’t he promised to be her protector then why didn’t he refute when his mother broke that sudden news? Why did he look so surprised? It may be that he was also oblivious to it just like her. Diana got that but should she take this threat lightly and get over it?What if Delphyne was stating the truth?What if Zachary changed his mind after marriage?What if this step proves to be a wrong decision in the future?Her mind all of a sudden jolted back to those days when her family was completely against this marriage. Yes, they didn’t want this marriage to be done at any cost but they never told her the exact reason. What was the m
Rose stayed rooted on her spot. It was her first time witnessing a vicious side of an Angel before. And to pile up the layers of her agony, that Angel was none other than Ariel.Rose was Diana’s childhood friend; she was even Ariel’s bridesmaid on her big day. Rose always maintained a certain distance from Diana’s family. Being a commoner, she knew her limits and never engaged herself in the royal family’s matters. Ariel knew about this very well that’s why she went to her house to personally invite her to her wedding. She even requested her to be her bridesmaid. That day Rose understood that Ariel will be the one who will change the picture of Moonland. One day, she would be successful in eradicating the seeds of partiality, building a new Moonland.A sad smile appeared on her lips. They all used to be so happy then, sharing each other sorrows and celebrating their joys. Those golden days today appeared like a dream to her as if they never even existed rather, it was all her imaginat
“ZACHARY, WAIT! I DON’T THINK IT’S A GOOD IDEA!!”Calix yelled while chasing Zachary who was marching towards Whitestone Citadel with thundering steps. The sound of his harsh breathing was enough to shake the entire Moonland, the greenery of its forest and its beautiful valleys were being charred by the heat of his anger that was emanating through the pores of his skin. His jaw was clenched and his obsidian orbs were craving blood- the blood of those who made his angel cry, who dare to put their hands on his most precious possession, got the guts to cage his love, and made the unforgivable mistake to separate her from him.Enough of child’s play. Demon of wrath won’t spare anyone today.Not even the ones who were dear to his Diana.“HEY, YOU PUNK!! ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING OR AM I TALKING TO MYSELF?? WATCH OUT!!”, Calix screamed when he saw a burning log falling over Zachary but he quickly dodged it. He then swung his golden sword over his crown, cutting the log in half, and continued h
“What’s so special about this castle that it’s taking you an eternity to break through it?”, Zachary said while glaring at Jasmine who was sweating profusely. “I am trying my best, Your Majesty. The spell with which Whitestone Citadel is sealed is too powerful. This castle was gifted to Ariel by his father, Darius who is the best occultist in Heaven. She had learned the occult practices from him and to be honest, Ariel is best at sealing royal treasures, castles, and places that contain secret information and lethal weapons to protect them from enemies. This castle is divided into four main parts and each part is sealed with different powers. After sealing the castle, Ariel made sure to destroy all the keys so that no one except her can get access. Though I have broken the seals of the southern side of the castle, the northern side where Diana is kept is still effective, and to break that is a tough task.” she replied to him while performing the witchcraft. Finally, after a lot of h
‘THUD!’‘THUD!’‘THUD!’The walls of Whitestone Citadel echoed with loud crashes one after the other followed by an ear-piercing scream.“GO AWAY ELA!! I DON’T EVEN WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE!!”, Diana screamed at the top of her lungs while shooting daggers at Ela who was looking at her with cold eyes.Diana hadn’t stopped crying ever since she was brought to Whitestone Citadel. Her soft cheeks were painted with long fingerprint marks and her eyes had turned swollen and red from excessive crying. But she couldn’t care less. The memories of Ariel slapping her and shouting at her were running in her mind like a broken recorder. And on top of that, her fear of marrying Theodore and leaving Zachary forever was viciously clawing at the gates of her heart.Diana couldn’t understand why her powers weren’t working. Brought up in a royal family, she was always scolded for not using ladylike manners and her obsession with knives and swords. Her mother always berated her that being the princess of Mo
Diana’s P.O.V.Life sometimes is so unfair to us, punishing us for a crime that we’ve never even committed.Never in my life, I have ever tasted the euphoric feeling of being in love. The foreign and overwhelming desire to which I was never introduced before. Moreover, I had never imagined that I would meet someone who would become so indispensable to me in such a short period that I would be ready to go against my family.Since childhood I was a pampered child; I was worshipped in Moonland as if I have done a favor to my parents by being born into their family. My every wish was their command. Though I was a doted kid they kept me aware of my responsibilities which were to keep Moonland safe, secure, and prosperous.No doubt I was blue blood but my dreams were simple. Marry the man of my dreams and live a spartan and peaceful life. I was never a fan of aristocracies instead Rose’s austere lifestyle desiderated me. I wanted to be like her, a free bird with no restrictions, who is neit
Calix's words shocked everyone present in the room. Diana pushed Zachary off making him growl but she ignored him and marched towards Calix, “What are you saying, Moon Prince? I don’t want any girl to sacrifice herself for me? Moreover, what if she gets caught? Ari will get in trouble-”She started blabbering in fear but Calix cut her in between, “She won’t Princess Diana. Ariel is with Theodore and he knows that she is faithful to him that’s why she had sent her loyal guards to bring you to the church. Jasmine would knock out Ela and stupefy Ara. She would then ready her up in the wedding attire and cover her face with a veil. When Ela would regain consciousness, she would think of Ara as you and bring her to church. Theodore will marry her and when the truth will be revealed, it will be too late to regret.”He snickered and raised his right hand to do a high five with Rose but she rolled her eyes and turned to Diana, “We both made this plan together, Di. You are cognizant of the mar
Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
Christian rushed to George and held his shoulders as the injured prince staggered to the ground with his hands on his chest.George was blazing from the inside but his flagging strength stalled his revenge game. Cursing internally, he then looked at Diana whose blue eyes were already fixed on him.Diana on the other hand had mixed feelings. On one side she was happy to save her friend from this psychopath but the irony was that the psychopath was none other than her friend.To save one, she tried to kill the other.Diana slightly flinched after noticing the pained look in his eyes.Who knew that their friendship would fizzle out one day?But her remorse was only exuberating George.'Maybe she would help me out?'He internally prayed for Diana to side with him but her next words vitiated his hopes."I am sorry but you deserved it."George was stunned but Diana didn't even spare a glance his way and headed to Zachary and the others.Rose looked at Jasmine who was drenched in sweat."Wha
"Don't you dare."Zachary snarled, glowering at Theodore who had his sword aimed at Jasmine's neck. Jasmine on the other hand was numb. Her bloodshot eyes were fixated on Zagan who was lying on the floor covered in a pool of blood.Though Theodore stabbed Zagan, the attack wasn't fatal. The slow cadence of his breath was the signal that the injured demon was still alive but brutally injured. He needed aid or else excess blood loss would kill him.Jasmine frantically roamed her eyes here and there, searching for something which could be of her help when she spotted Diana dragging her feet to a corner. A frown etched on her face but her eyes widened when she followed her steps. Avoiding eyes, Diana was heading to the venomous bayonet that was lying next to George's feet.The same weapon with which Kiora tried to attack Rose.A shiver ran down her spine.Diana had no idea that it was venomous because she was unconscious during the nasty fight. But if by any chance, a manhandling or scuff
Zachary's words came as a shock to both Diana and Theodore.Jasmine’s face beamed with happiness. Nodding vigorously, she ran to Zachary like a child only to be pulled back by a terrified Theodore.Clutching her arm, he coiled his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest before looking at Zachary."S-Sister? Don't play with me, Zachary. You can leave with your wife and Rose but leave my wife out of this. She isn’t going anywhere." He snapped at him but Jasmine could hear his erratic heartbeat.He looked scared and that too of her leaving him?What an irony!Zachary smirked and moved forward. He grabbed her hand and peeled her away from him.“Wife? Don’t make me laugh, Theodore. Yeah, sure she is your wife whom you had never given the place she deserved. Have some shame man and to clear your doubts, yes, she is my sister. The eldest daughter of the Binanzun Dynasty and the rightful owner of not only Hell but also Heaven. She is neither a swindler nor a fucking peasant."
