The Demon Queen's Contract

In a world where magic intertwines with reality, a dying human girl named Elara awakens to find herself in a foreign land. The air smells of ancient forests, and the sky is painted with hues she’s never seen before. Before her stands the enigmatic Demon Queen, Seraphina, her eyes as cold as the ice that encases her throne. Seraphina proposes a desperate bargain: a contractual marriage between them. In exchange for Elara’s hand, Seraphina promises to save the crumbling human kingdom from impending doom. Elara, with nothing left to lose, accepts, thrust into a web of intrigue, danger, and forbidden emotions. As they embark on their perilous adventure, Elara discovers that Seraphina’s icy demeanor hides a tragic past. The Demon Queen’s power is unmatched, her wrath swift and merciless. Yet, beneath the frost, Elara glimpses vulnerability—a longing for connection that defies her ruthless reputation.

Come back to me

The decision had been made: I would go to the eastern province to address the escalating problems there. Although Seraphina was vehemently opposed to my going alone, she understood the council's decision and the need for me to prove myself to the demon realm.

The morning after the council meeting, I found myself in our chambers, nervously preparing for the journey. The room was a whirlwind of activity, servants bustling about, packing supplies and clothing into a sturdy leather trunk. Seraphina hovered nearby, her protective instincts in overdrive.

"Elara, are you sure about this?" Seraphina asked for what felt like the hundredth time, her eyes filled with concern as she watched me pack.

I turned to her, trying to muster as much confidence as I could. "Yes, Seraphina. I need to do this. For us, for the realm. And I won't be alone. There will be guards and advisors with me."
