FLASHBACK (MORNING STAR)

"don't worry he's fine, I casted an illumination spell on him, he would consider everything to be a dream," Alice said and sat down.

'i never imagined that I would meet a fellow demon, am Lucian" the strange man said and shakes me

"fellow demon?" I asked

"well well well this young man doesn't seem to know what he is"

"He's no demon," a man from nowhere said, I didn't see him walk in so that must mean he teleported here. He has a striking resemblance to Lucy from the eyes to the hair and face. One could say he is Lucy's twin brother

"Lucifer," Lucian said and both he and Alicia fell to their knees, I didn't know what to do so I just stood up

"Where is my daughter?"

"she's resting"Alicia replied

"Zack" the man called Lucifer called

"hmm seems he was the one who woke my sleeping daughter, the morning star," he said

"wait so he's the morning star? I mean ."

"yes to whatever that's in your head" he replied Lucian

I just stood there not getting what they were saying

"I would leave him to you both. and also make him understand everything "he instructed and disappeared

"oh my oh my I can't believe this" Alicia sat down beside me

"you don't need to be confused I'll explain everything"Lucian looked at me and also took a sit beside me

"thousands of years ago there was a great war between demons and witches, both kinds never agreed and at the same time, there was a war in hell between Lucifer and his stepbrother who wanted the throne. Then a prophecy was given about a child whose parents were going to be from both kinds and would be the one to destroy Lucifer's bother"

"why? can't Lucifer kill him" I asked and Lucian just laughed

"well he could but he couldn't "

"meaning" I didn't know why he was trying to confuse me when he was asked to make me understand everything

"Lucifer could if he was still the morning star, but after being crowned king of hell he couldn't, as both he and his brother were equals when it comes to strength but Lucifer was still always powerful that was why he became king. And you know the saying good wins over evil, Lucifer wasn't as pure as he used to so he couldn't kill his brother

FLASHBACK

"Where is the princess?" one maid asked

"I don't know why don't you check in her room"

"well I just did that and she's not there"

"what's going on, "the princess's maid asked

"erm actually the princess seems to have run away"

"hmm she never changes; you both can leave and make sure this news is between the three of us"

"yes, your Royal maiden," both maids said and left.

I was walking around the village in a hood to cover my face, as am sure that my maid has already found out about my absence, and I wasn't interested in going back. It's my birthday and I still feel like a prisoner in my own home, I was able to convince mum not to announce my marriage today but I don't know how long I can convince her.

I spotted a little bunny and followed it, I was able to catch it, and seem it liked me. I was playing with the bunny when I felt a strong wind mixed with mist, the little bunny ran away immediately feeling scared.

I followed the direction of the wind and found a young man lying on the floor with sword injuries all over.

from the looks of things, he seemed to be position. i quickly raised him and we teleported to my room, I laid him down on the bed and a bright light clothed his body, the light was so bright that I had to cover my eyes. when the light died out his wounds were completely healed and the person lying on the bed was no longer there instead it was

"Lucifer" Alicia my maid said

"shh, do you want others to know"

"princess hazel you are very well aware of the enmity between our two kinds yet you," she said and I signed

"Alicia I saw him lying on the ground and I couldn't just leave him there all alone, also he's been poisoned

"so you decided to save him, he's Lucifer the king of hell no one can kill him, and even if he was poisoned, the position only slow down his healing process not as if he was going to die" Alicia scolded me well she has the right as she's like an elder sister to me and she was older that I was

"Alicia please" I pleaded

"Okay fine I'll take care of him you go and get ready" she hugged me

"I won't be long"

I arrived at the ball and everyone bowed as a sign of respect, my mum came forward and hugged me and wished me a happy birthday.

she clicked her glass as a sign requesting everyone's attention.

"you all are highly welcome to the birthday celebration of my daughter, your princess, and future queen. on this special day, I would like to make a special announcement" mum said making me worry

"on this day, I would like to announce the marriage of your princess, my daughter, to the chief army commander of our great kingdom to you all" she announce and everyone gave a round of applause. Tears started clouding my eyes and everything was becoming blurry, tears started following down my face.

I wiped off the tears rolling down my face and excused myself.

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me towards the garden. i couldn't believe what was happening

" was it a dream or my imagination," I asked myself and kept on slapping myself

" This can be no no it can't be" I screamed and wiped off my tears.

I knew very well that if I tell mum about my refusal to marry the chief army commander she would never change her mind.

my world came to an immediate stand still and I felt like ending it all
