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.

Escape succeful

After a hearty lunch, the three of us were making our way through the hallways. Valeria was still engaged in some story about the ancient history of the palace, her voice animated as she recounted tales of old. Her hands moved dramatically as she described battles and royal intrigues, and her eyes sparkled with the passion of a born storyteller.

I was listening intently, trying to picture the grandiose events she described, but I couldn't help but notice the glint in Seraphina's eye.

She had been unusually quiet since lunch ended, and I could sense her plotting something. Every now and then, she would glance at me with a barely suppressed grin, her eyes twinkling with mischief.

Valeria paused for a breath, mid-sentence about a daring escape through the palace tunnels. "And that's when King Alaric..." she started, but before she could continue, Seraphina seized the moment.
