The former and the forever

Emily, feeling breathless, leaned against Raylen. She didn't know what Nathaniel had done to her, but something felt strange, prompting her to close her eyes for a brief moment. 

"Princess?" Raylen called out to Emily, his voice filled with gentleness as he noticed her wheezing. He set her down on the ground, allowing her to lean against the wall. "You crossed the line, Nathaniel," he said, turning his gaze on his fellow archdemon. 

Nathaniel recovered from the shock of witnessing Emily shatter into fragments of ice, only to see her whole again a moment later. He inquired, "Crossed the line? I believe that's what you are doing, coming between Emily's and my union." 

Raylen's eyes narrowed, displeased with the words that Nathaniel spat. He remarked, "I don't think you are thinking clearly anymore, because there is no union between the two of you. Have you forgotten that you rejected her and chose Layla as your soulmate?"
