My Marriage will be Challenged

As I walked out of the cave with the baby dragon on my right shoulder the female servant gasped at what I had returned with.

"What is there something wrong with my face?" I asked in response to how I noticed that they were both sparing at me.

"Wait do you not know the significance of what you have made a contract with mistress Syndrell?" she asked me as she walked up towards me.

"Well, I know that the fact that I had a dragon for a companion means that I am destined for greatness," I said to them as I started to walk over to the teleporter pad.

"That is an understatement, to say the least. It is a true statement that all the people who have had dragons as companions have changed the world in a very dramatic way." The male demon said to me as he closed the gate behind him.

"I honestly thought that I would never be alive long enough to see the day that someone would make a contract with a dragon. If history will repeat itself, then that tells me that you are going to be a very powerful being that others will not be able to ignore someday in the future." The female maid said in an excited voice as she stepped into the portal.

After that, my days become quite repetitive. I would spend my mornings having lessons in dancing. In the middle of the day, I had a few hours that I would use as a means of study. In my studies I found the arts of blood magic and necromancy to be quite enlightening

My early evenings were spent learning how to cook for my future husband. I found that daily task to be very challenging. The final task of my daily pattern was going to the dining hall and eating with Carvis.

It was not until after three months that the pattern finally changed when my door was knocked on by Carvis, and he talked about a very special event that I was to participate in.

As he walked into my room, I saw that he was wearing a pair of white pants that stood out in comparison to his dark red skin. He had on a pair of black dress shoes and a plain black shirt that looked almost too tight for his buff figure.

"You are going to be taking part in a series of battles that have a significant effect on your future. These battles are all arranged for those who want to challenge the new wife of a demon. This may seem extreme to you but the upcoming wife of a demon must prove that she is worth the rank that she will be getting soon. The demons and other dark species do not expect weak females to bond with the men to ensure that the next generation will be the strongest it can be." He said as he sat down on my bed.

"If that is what I must do to be able to maintain my lifestyle here then they will all die by my hands," I said to him as I got out of my bed to put on some clothes.

"Well, you will have your work cut for you to say the least. Since the other women will have a variety of powerful weapons and equipment to use in this fight, so, is there anything that I can help you get for the event?" Carvis asked me as he got off the bed.

I thought of what kind of items I would need for the fights that awaited me, and the only things that I could think of were the magical braces and the magical staff that I grew up using to speed up the channeling of my magic.

"You will need to get both my magical staff and magic braces from my hometown if I want to win these fights," I told Carvis as I walked up to him from behind wrapping my arms around him.

"I can not visit that location in time for the event," Carvis told me as he looked at me after stepping away from me.

he started to pace the room as if he was now lost in thought. I watched him and I was lost at how attractive he was to me as he paced the floor of my room. With every step, my heart rate increased until it went into sync with his steps.

"To be honest the best thing that I can do for you is make you whatever it is that you need to fight in this event. The dark smith of my family can have almost anything that you need within the next few days. If that is what you request of me then I will give him your custom order." Carvis said to me as I started to walk over to him.

"Ok I will write down all the details about what I need, and I will send all of the details to you soon."

"I will tell him your detailed information of the order as soon as I get it. It should be ready by the time of the event." He said to me as he walked out of the room.

In the evening, I made a list of the items that I needed and gave the list to Carvis.

The next few days went by in a flash and I went to the area on our property that had the mode of transportation that was supposed to bring me to the arena.

As I walked to the back of the house, I saw a massive black wooden carriage that was drawn by two horses that had red colored skin and they had black hair that seemed to be on fire. Despite how long I had been here the wonders of this dark region amazed me.

"Hello, mistress I am here to guide you to the arena. Your public awaits you to prove your worth as the future wife of Master Carvis. He wanted me to warn you not to answer any questions that they ask you because they are always seeking the next piece of gossip to put into their papers."

I nodded at him; then I entered the carriage and was driven to the arena with haste. I noticed that the trees were either barren or only grow blow pedals.

When I arrived at the arena, I was suddenly swarmed with a group of creatures that all rushed me and started asking me a series of questions that I was not prepared to answer.

"Is it true that you had never been to this region of the world only a few months ago?" one of the creatures asked me.

"Did you know about the rumors involving how you came into this region?" another devil said as he was writing something on a piece of paper.

I ignored them and made my way into the back area of the arena, where I saw a pair of four-armed devils that could easily pop someone's head clean off with their bare hands. These demons did not allow the people to follow me into the arena.

Inside the preparation of the arena, I saw a variety of different species of female fighters that stared at me when I came inside.

"Well, ladies, look who it is that we will have the honor of killing today." A massive four-armed demon that had on a set of leather battle armor and carried a pair of swords and axes on her back.

When she spoke, all the other females got around me, and they each started to harass me.

I chose to ignore them and quickly put on the items of my custom order that were in a magical locker with my name on it.

The entire custom order was there. My large black metal staff had red gems in it. The black magical robes, and finally the cage used to contain my dragon companion.

As soon as my dragon got onto my right shoulder all the females slowly backed away out of fear. The fear that they were displaying towards me tasted so satisfying to me, and I wanted to savor every moment of it.
