The Helio's Bride
A princess with a twisted past. When her fate takes an unfortunate turn, she is thrown off her pedestal and into the web of marriage with the bloodthirsty king of the enemy kingdom. Faced with life and death choices, Delaney must decide whether to side with the enemy—her new husband—or her family who betrayed her. __ As the son of the sun goddess, Darius finds his life unnecessarily long and boring. Until he meets his bride, Delaney, the feisty, fiery princess who is rumored to have rejected suitors by the dozen, the only female descendant of his arch nemesis, and a demon princess. When they get married, will he use her in his quest for revenge, or fall in the trap of her charm like every other male does?

The following day, Darius brought one of his most trusted knights to train with Delaney. He no longer wanted her to be close to the other knights after what happened the last time. They were still afraid of her after Lev's death although it had been proven to be a set up, and he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.
"She is stronger than she looks, isn't she?" Elifur remarked. Darius had not seen him coming and was slightly annoyed.
Even so, he didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that he could annoy him by merely making an appearance. He seemed to be addicted to annoying everyone. He nodded as though they had been talking the entire time. "She learns fast."
"She does, doesn't she?" Elifur played along, watching Delaney attack in ways that would never be expected of her. "She will make an excellent queen in a few years." He continued.
