Chapter One
Inside the most grandeous palace that is owned by the most handsome and sought after bachelor in the country. Azalel looked at a painting in his study in a very sad gesture. His eyes filled with longing and grief, not for the lost . But for missing someone.
it had been thousand of years ago since he last saw that beautiful face. A face that changed not only his life but all his beliefs and everything he had fought for.
His eyes focused on the image of an angel descending from heaven. While a devil with horns and horrifying tail was looking up. Trying his best to break up the chains only to reach for the hand the angel was lending.
That was the most heartbreaking scene for him. That was exactly what he was trying to do all these years. And still, he wasn't able to get loose from the chains of his origin.
I will definitely find you, and when I do, I'll take back everything you have lost. Even if it means my life. I will definitely protect you. He made a pact to himself. And that's what he intends to do.
"You never get enough of him, do you?"
He wasn't very surprised upon lucas's sudden appearance. Of course, he wouldn't need to use the door to get anywhere. One of every devils quality. Where Azalel was known to be the prince of darkness. The kings only son.
Lucas was sitting on his study table literally. Not minding Azalel's not so good mood upon his arrival.
"He's not here anymore. Or in any dimension. You lost him in that war, the war that made you betray your own race." a gleam of disgust flusterred Lucas's face. But soon faded as he smiled like nothing mattered.
Azalel did not mind any of it. He is still consumed in his own remeniscing. Never taking his eyes off the painting.
"Why not just go back to being the prince of hell? Well, you may recieve a lot of whipping and torture, but what's that to you?"
"Stop convincing me," atlast turning to face his right hand man. " I know my father ordered you to take me back. You can easily drag me back to hell if you want. But why try so hard to hold yourself back?" he smiled sarcastically at his so called demon friend and comrade.
What his father did not know. Is that Lucas was the one who secretly helped him to warn the archangels about the coming war his father had planned against Heaven and God himself.
But that did not prevent the lost of souls. And most importantly, his one true love.
As much as I am afraid of your father skinning me alive. And throwing me to the abyss while being munched on by his pet monsters. I'm more afraid of betraying you. If you had the guts to go against your father once, that means that you are not near afraid of him than I do.
He tapped one lucas shouler as sign of gratitude for his loyalty. Which was rarely seen in demons like them. Maybe because Lucas was once was an angel that had just fallen from grace. And still has some of his old virtues intact.
He was always punished by Azalel's father for disobedience to do his biding. And Azalel took pity and had taken him in his wings. And the rest was as they say were ancient history.
"I didn't want to say this. But you should accept the fact that his soul had already perished that day. And will never be coming back however hard you try to punish yourself. It's not your fault that he tried to save you that day."
"I know," he said cutting the chattery while remembering that very moment that when Muriel slipped in his back. And recieved that deadly sttrike from his father.
He was gasping in his arms. As he tried to tell him something. The angels hand turned cold as it fell from touching his face.
Altough he was in his horrifrying form as a demon. Muriel never saw him as the devil or the prince of hell as he is.
"I only want to tell him something that I never had the chance to do so."
"And what is that?" Lucas countered.
He turned to look at the painting once more.
And silently said to himself.
That I love him.
Meanwhile,
At a shabby looking house. Mina rushed to Urie's house screaming. Holding her phone with both his hands.
Urie rushed downstairs from his room on the second floor. Worried that something bad might have happened to his drama queen best friend.
Mina continued her screaming nonstop even though Urie was already infront of her.
At a wave of Urie's hand. The latter part landed at his friends head. Instantly calming her down.
"That really hurts." mina said smoothing the part that was smacked.
"I thought you'll never stop." he said holding his laugh.
"I have important news." he can already tell that it's about someone that they both keep a track on these days.
Axel 'Azalel' Cartilier.
A young and handsome billionaire.
Almost every woman in the country drools over this guy like candy sugared sweets. You'll want to melt upon looking at his eyes. Although he was very much sought by every girls and gays in generel. He still can't escape the criticisms.
Everyone says that he might be gay. 'Cause he never had any relationship with any girl. That when someone popular gets attached to his name, he would bluntly say that it's not true. And that he has no interest and would never be involved in anyway.
While others say that whoever Axel loves will be the luckiest one. Not because of his looks and stand in society. But because of his clear and straight mindset. Like noone can talk him out of something, specially about what he likes or dislikes. Mina and Uriel are certainly on this side of the story.
"Look," he tried to look unconcerned. But failed upon seeing a familiar handsome face. His heart skipped a thousand beats. And felt like gasping for air. He didn't know why, but Axel have always had that kind of effect on him.
Mina started reading the post on Instagram.
It seems that the most sought after bachelor wants to invite every single people in the community to participate in a singles event.
"Good thing we are both in the showbiz industry." but had a sudden pause.' But why all of a sudden? Is he planning to get married atlast?"
Married? That word echoed on Urie's mind. And thought of having a panic attack.
"We have to go there."
"What?" Urie almost shrieked.
" If he's setting up this kind of event, it means that he's still finding a match. And that's the perfect opportunity to show ourselves."
"Really?" he said raising an eyebrow. " You really think that if we show ourselves infront of a Axel Cartilier. He would gradually drop down on his knees and ask one of us to marry him? Are you out of your mind?"
"Actually, it's just me and not us." Mina said in an air of confidence. "I still believe that he would choose a normal girl even over a beautiful guy like you." she said sticking her tounge out to him.
He just laughed at that remark.
Boasting aside. He was always considered to have an angelic face that even female actresses would envy. Sadly he had to be trapped at a boys body. As Mina always says. He would definitely be a goddess if he were born a girl.
