The Demon Queen's Contract

In a world where magic intertwines with reality, a dying human girl named Elara awakens to find herself in a foreign land. The air smells of ancient forests, and the sky is painted with hues she’s never seen before. Before her stands the enigmatic Demon Queen, Seraphina, her eyes as cold as the ice that encases her throne. Seraphina proposes a desperate bargain: a contractual marriage between them. In exchange for Elara’s hand, Seraphina promises to save the crumbling human kingdom from impending doom. Elara, with nothing left to lose, accepts, thrust into a web of intrigue, danger, and forbidden emotions. As they embark on their perilous adventure, Elara discovers that Seraphina’s icy demeanor hides a tragic past. The Demon Queen’s power is unmatched, her wrath swift and merciless. Yet, beneath the frost, Elara glimpses vulnerability—a longing for connection that defies her ruthless reputation.

Body memory

The carriage waiting outside the castle was nothing short of magnificent. Crafted from dark mahogany, it gleamed in the early morning sunlight. Intricate carvings of mythical creatures and ancient runes adorned its sides, giving it an aura of both elegance and mystique.

The wheels were reinforced with steel, ensuring a smooth journey over rough terrain, and the interior was lined with plush crimson velvet, offering both comfort and luxury. Two black horses, their coats shining like obsidian, stood harnessed at the front, their eyes intelligent and alert.

As I approached, the driver, a burly man with a kind face and weathered hands, tipped his hat in greeting. "Good morning, Lady Elara. We're ready when you are."

I nodded, taking a deep breath before stepping inside. The interior was spacious, with enough room to stretch my legs.
