“Are you, by any chance, suggesting that we ally ourselves with the humans?” Even though the fire lord’s words sounded respectful, as his tone carried nothing but his usual curiosity and slyness, Rima didn’t miss the dark emotion in his eyes, a hidden anger and animosity for even daring to mention such a thing!

The room went silent, and Rima felt all eyes on her, a reaction she predicted and wasn’t bothered with in the slightest, it wasn’t the first time for her to be faced with such disapproving and angry glares, and in a twisted kind of way, being disapproved and angry at was always a sign that she was doing something right.

Just like when she, a woman, took the position of a lord, or lady, for the first time in the history of the demonic world.

It was the way she lived her life so far, breaking all the laws and stepping over all the boundaries, to her, borders were only there to be breached, and in any other occasion, she w

    “Where is Nara?!” Henry looked at his angry brother with an expressionless face, hiding his pain and sorrow to see another member of his family locked and chained in the same cell as the previous one.First was his father, and now it was his younger and only brother, and Henry wondered how many family members he was going to lose, how many did he have to hurt and possibly kill just for the sake of the damn throne!“Elsewhere, I am afraid, and I have thought you can ask me what ever you were going to ask her. after all, there is absolutely nothing she can do to you that I can’t, and nothing she can do that I don’t approve!”“You fucking bastard! What did you do to her? did you lock her up as well? Or maybe you shipped her off to marry somewhere far so she can’t meddle with your affaires!” Nicholas spat in disgust, his eyes shooting daggers at his older brother!“Maybe!” Henry answered noncha

    “It is so good to see you again!” Henry took big strides towards her, the woman who was in the center of his thoughts since the first time he met her!“Me too.” Rima smiled back at him while taking the seat he just offered her, and there was that awkward silence where they both stared at each other, not knowing what to say!It was still somehow weird, being in each other’s presence, even though they had been working together for a while now, trying to bring both worlds together, and create an alliance between the humans and the demons. Still, that feeling of nervousness was always there, telling each of them that he was being affected by the other.“How did you get in here?!” Henry tried to compensate for the bluntness of his question with his softest voice and even softer smile, not wanting the ice queen to take the wrong idea for he wasn’t at all bothered by her presence, just surprised to see her, in his r

    “Lost in the woods, Lord Micka?” hearing the familiar voice, the corner of the fire lord’s lips was pulled up into an evil smirk.Scanning the sight with his red eyes, the fire lord didn’t see anything except the intertwined branches and trees, the dark forest was nothing like his empire, he missed the smell of fire and smoke, for the scent of the dirt and moss was making him nauseous, not that he could do anything about it. Yet!Micka knew that the shadows lord had his doubts about him, he knew that he was watching him since the very first second he stepped into this swamp he called an empire, he knew that the hybrid scum probably had most of his plan figured out, the true question though was, how did he manage to find him so fast, even before that useless demoness who was way too late!The other question was, what is the best and most fitting way to kill this scum who dared to call himself a lord, Micka thought as he looked around him,

    Geraldine stared at her surroundings with skeptical eyes, trying to pinpoint the source of the animosity she suddenly felt, it was all around her, like an ominous presence that invaded the place, one which she could only feel but not see.There was definitely something going on, she thought to herself as she bent down to touch the dewy ground of the forest, trying to detect what was different and a malicious suffocating weight slowly settled on her chest.The dark forest was more than just an exile for the shadow demons, for they had not only made a home out of it, but also formed a tie with it, the forest was their strength and every single shadow demon had a connection with it, and it was through that connection that the shadow demons possessed the ability to reach out to one another, and to the forest.And the forest was suffering, Geraldine stood up as worry crept into her mind, she sniffed the air, hoping her nose would be more useful than her eyes, focusin

    Despite barely having the strength to walk, Eren kept on running, not stopping, not looking back, just running away from the borders, away from her.The sight of her blaming eyes was forever engraved in his memory, the amount of pain and betrayal they carried only made him run faster, telling himself he was a curse, that she would indeed be better off without him.Will she? His steps came to a sudden halt, a terrible fear settling in his heart with that thought, the fear of something happening to her while he wasn’t around to protect her!Taking a step back, Eren contemplated the idea of running back to her, to har scent, to her face, to her lips and their divine taste, but the memory of her blaming eyes stopped him again.Her eyes were lethal indeed, but there was something else, the great war!

    “This is going to be harder than I thought!” Rima knitted her eyebrows while looking out the window of what used to be the Tahat magistrate’s house.As expected, the familiarity she built with the human king wasn’t contagious, the united armies were only united in name, whereas in reality, the humans and demons did anything but blend, the schism in their lines was far too obvious to be neglected, none of them tolerated the other’s presence, the animosity was palpable in the air, and there were many, many skirmishes, some even turned violent.“It is perfectly understandable!”“We will make it work!”Eren and Henry said in the same time before exchanging a small glare, making the ice queen mentally slap her face, for even these two couldn’t fully tolerate each other, but unlike their soldiers, the human king and the shadows lord’s enmity wasn’t just because of their different kinds, it

    "You are up way too early, little sister..." Ripping her eyes from the tranquil scene of the forest being illuminated by the first rays of the sun, the scene was breathtaking but just like every day, she could help but find nothing rather than disappointment in it...Dawn was supposed to bring light, warmth, hope...but it wasn't bringing her any, nor was it bringing her sister back to her."Please tell me you haven't been awake all night!" Narrowing his eyes worriedly, Henry strode inside the room to reach the patio where his sister was standing, a sad look on her face nullifying the smile she tried to wear for his sake."I was just...a little anxious about today." Frowning at his sister's tired voice, Henry couldn't help but worry about his sister and her wellbeing during the upcoming journey she had insisted on taking..."You don't have to go, Nara, it doesn't have to be you, we can always send someone else..." Feeling the warmth and gentleness in her brother's

    "Because, this is my destiny, I am a Goddess and I was destined for greatness, now I realize it, You, on the other hand, you are only dirtying this place with your presence!" once the words left her mouth, Sara regretted saying them, hurting the man she loved deliberately and watching the effect her words had on him was equally devastating to her, her heart was breaking simultaneously with his, echoing in the silent room, visible on the tense postures...They say actions speak louder than words but Sara knew that no punch was going to cause worse damage than the words she was spitting bluntly, no attack would have wounded him that deep enough to through him in a state of complete stillness, His eyes cast downward, his breathes coming out deep and calm, his shadows retreating to gather around his feet.Did she really do it? Break his heart enough for him to finally give up on her? Sara thought as she watched him thoroughly, her eyes desperate to make contact with his, unabl

    "Don't!" Emerging from the shadows right before his fair lady's hand touched the filthier one of the man whom he considered as a father, Eren pulled her to his bare chest callously before wrapping his arms around her with no finness nor consideration to her trembling state, in fact, he was so angry at her he wanted to keep squeezing until he broke all her bones, every last one until she was no longer able to move or walk away from him in order to commit her heroic idiocies such as joining the Gods in their suicidal mission for the sake of the greater good.After his encounter with Historia's ghost, or whatever the thing he saw in the bottom of the river was, Eren wasted no time before flying to the center, cursing himself all the way for not thinking about it earlier, of course she would be in the center, it was the only place in their world where he didn't have eyes and ears in, the place where the dark energy was the weakest, it explained how he couldn't sense her presence

    "What in the world is this none sense?" Squinting his eyes, Eren stated at the red headed princess, his mind refusing to comprehend the absolute absurdity that came out of her mind...When Andrea dared to once again bother him in his solitary where he mourned his broken heart, he was about to kill her but the words that came out of her mouth managed to save her life in the last second, for she had announced that his fair lady has finally been seen, and it was by none other than the redheaded princess who asked to meet him...Meeting the useless princess could wait, Eren first told himself as he searched the perimeter of the castle, looking for any traces of his fair lady, but he found nothing, not even her delicious scent which he craved like his next breath.She had hid her traces, that was Eren's first guess, but after hearing what the redheaded princess had to say, he started to think that his fair lady never showed up in the first place..."You can ha

Sara questioned warily, her heart still in the bedroom were she left an angry Eren who was probably raising hell just to find her, a sting of regret erupted inside of her but she quickly pushed it aside to focus on what the three silvered hair men were saying…It felt like being trapped into that horrible nightmare once again, when the Gods tried to absorb her powers, they looked no different from what they did back then, long white robes, long silver locks,

    Stay away from me...Why? Eren asked himself for the millionth time, and was still unable to find an answer for it, everything was so perfect and then, out of the blue, his fair lady was acting as if his mere proximity was stabbing her right in the heart...Stay away from me...Those foor words, they were not spoken with hatred nor disdain, if anything, Sara seemed shaken, broken, and sad beyond words, her eyes held despair and pain, one that ran deeper than his understanding, one that cut his breath the moment he saw it, and he knew, even without her admitting it, that he was the source of that pain, and the thought of not knowing why was making him madder each second...But that wasn't all, Eren thought as he jugged his glass of alcoholic blood, for he had seen something else in her beautiful eyes, something he was so familiar with, anger at the world, it felt like her eyes were cursing anything that ever existed for some reason…What reason?

    "Is he among them?" Seeing the sorrow behind the wariness and rage that filled Eren's eyes, Sara couldn't help but lower her eyes apologetically before nodding, Zaman was with Kalan and the other God indeeed, and the three of them were right outside the castle in the outskirts of the king's forest, their auras were sensible and clear for her but not to Eren, which only meant that they were waiting for her for some reason without wanting to alarm the demons.The question was, why?What did they want?"I don't know about Ebdi, and Jo..I mean Zaman's intentions are still not clear, but if Kalan is here, I can only think of trouble, I shall call for backup..." Eren said as he buttoned his shirt hurriedly before walking towards the door, hoping that his fair lady would agree to stay in the castle until he figures out what the God's Intentions were, but a single look at her determined face made him more certain of how futile it was to ask."If they wanted to attack the

    How could one be so happy? How could one freeze a moment of happiness and imprisone themselves within it? Give up what was left of life with all the ups and downs and unknown futures just to keep on living one moment, over and over again?Smiling shyly, Rima placed her hand in Henry's without taking her eyes of his, it was all happening, and a part of her was still unable to believe it, she couldn't believe that after everything they went through they still survived to witness that day, the day of their union, not just as lovers, but as two leaders bringing together rivalry nations that didn't know of peace and harmony until lately, that alone was an impossible dream with a bloody history behind it to prevent it from becoming real, yet it was happening, it was a reality, a beautiful, almost unbelievable reality, just like the feeling of his hand in hers.Throughout her life, Rima learned the hard way that happiness was but a short incomplete phase, it was never there t

    “A little of red on the lips would look great on you my lady, and it would suit your dress!” the demoness said enthusiastically, absorbed on finishing the last touches on Sara’s look, all while being oblivious of the mixed thoughts and feelings the young Goddess was having.“The lord isn’t back yet?” resisting the urge to sigh at the question that was asked several times already, the demoness put on a polite smile as she answered truthfully, “Not yet my lady, but I am sure he will be here soon.”You sure aren’t you, Sara asked in her heart while looking at her reflection, the demoness did a decent job at making her look presentable for the royal wedding which was happening that night, her hair was brushed neatly to frame her face, the fringe falling strategically on her face to cover the fading scars and then a small tiara was placed on top of it, the red rubies sat on a black base matched her dress, and the red col
