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?
Attack (2)
Marlena managed to dodge the attack but she knew she was only delaying the inevitable. She was going to die today.
Knowing she was at a disadvantage and wouldn't get far even if she tried to run, she decided to try and negotiate with her attacker. "How much did he pay you? I will pay ten times more!" While she spoke, she was spying the rock behind the guard. If she pushed him against it with enough strength, he should pass out.
"Your Highness, that's not how it works." The man raised his sword again. Marlena was prepared to push him but before she could, the man screamed and fell.
She looked over in shock to see a long snake slithering out from his body. She took the chance to grab his sword from him, which she used to slice his head off.
She hated to take advantage of her opponent in his weak state but this man didn't deserve to live. If the snake didn't bite him, he would have killed her instead, betraying his master.
