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.

Hiding in a bush

As the evening wore on and the palace began to quiet, I found myself restless. The events of the day had left me with a mix of emotions that I needed to sort through, and the confines of my chambers felt stifling. I decided a walk in the garden might help clear my mind.

"I need some fresh air," I told Anara, who was tidying up the room. "I'm going to take a walk in the garden."

"Of course, Queen Elara," she said, her tone filled with concern. "Shall I accompany you?"

"No, that's all right," I replied. "But could you please arrange for a couple of guards to join me? Just for safety."

"Certainly," she said, nodding. She left the room to fetch the guards, and I took a moment to wrap a shawl around my shoulders. The cool night air would be refreshing after the warmth of the palace.

A few minutes later, Anara returned with two guards—Orin and Lira, the same guards who had escorted me after the attack. They bowed respectfully as they approached.
