village aquarin, kingdom reptiliance
blake sat in a living room sipping tea as he prepared himself to speak what was on his mind.
after all this time he finally came to meet rosaline. although they had been in contact all this time. after blake had exposed the news about the mining village of nadar and faes, faes had taken her revenge by telling king ladon and queen nuri about rosaline.
it was safe to say blake had been given a good scolding until he had felt his ears gone numb. that was before he was grounded! though even then he was quite happy, because his parents didn't scold him because of dating a commoner but because he didn't tell them about it.
after coming clear about it his parents had sent him here to officially ask for rosaline's hand in marriage though they wont get married for few years; now that he was here wearing a luxurious suit along with his royal cape and crown blake was feeling nervous.
to hide his nervousness he was sipping tea while preparing himself to speak. rosaline's father was standing in front of him waiting curious, he had already noticed blake's nervousness but he didn't speak to make the situation awkward out of respect. blake had helped him quite a lot in the past.
"your highness too much tea isn't good for health even if its herbal" blake's butler spoke amused as he watched blake finish his third cup of tea. he was enjoying the nervousness of the prince just like blake's maid and bodyguard along with rosaline's father.
blake sighed glaring at his butler before clearing his throat finally glancing at rosaline's father.
"today i am here as the second prince of reptilianice, i- uh?!" blake actually blushed trying to get his words out of his mouth. "i have taken fancy on miss rosaline, and after consulting and getting permission from royal father and mother i have some here to officially ask for miss rosaline's hand in marriage."
blake finally spoke holding his breath nervously glancing at rosaline's father.
but to his surprise he only got an amused and proud smile.
"i have already known about this from rosaline; your royal highness, it will be mine and rosaline's honour to accept this proposal. though i hope you can keep her safe and loved." rosaline's father replied making blake relax and grin.
"don't worry about that father in law; miss rosaline will be as happy and safe i promise" blake smiled.
after talking with rosaline's father and rosaline about the lessons rosaline have to take because at the end she was a commoner and he was a royal; blake left the village and teleported back to the royal capital.
after all he was now engaged and he have to tell everyone about this good news but first he needed to speak with his parents and brother before he will personally go and meet faes and sky telling them personally. but that will have to take some time because he has to prepare for rosaline to move to the royal palace and have her settled here first.

hellfire city, devil kingdom
alison cullen the crown prince and 16 year old sole child of the king of devil kingdom thomas cullen was staring at the dark sky. it had been two years since last he saw that girl but he was yet to forget her.
his father sighed from behind him. alison was a good child but his lack of communication and cold nature gave people wrong impression. after his birth his mother died hence he grew up without much love and care as even he couldn't focus on him much being the devil king. alison grew up knowing that he have to take care of the kingdom after his father, and because of that he had always focused on his work and training.
a few years ago thomas found that this cold nature of his son will eventually lead alison into madness after alison killed the girls and boys who tried to befriend him. after that incident he had alison go to other kingdoms in disguise once per year to help him from getting depressed, two years ago when alison went to reptiliance he had been late to come back to devil kingdom.
concerned thomas had contacted alison only to get shocked; alison had smiled while talking to him for the first time in years. he spoke fondly about a girl he probably was following and had developed a curiosity for. thomas had been elated that alison finally found something that he took interest in and can be saved from getting depressed. but when alison returned thomas found that the girl had died and alison had been sad to the point he didn't leave his room for few weeks.
even after he left his room alison went from bad to worse! he had previously talked with few people but now he barely even spoke, getting angry at a moments notice and his mood swings were random. one second he would be ignoring everyone and in next he might be glaring at someone or attacking them in anger.
"ali, you have not been to any kingdom last year, this time i want you to go to kingdom altai and befriend the prince and princesses. you said that the girl was a human, maybe you can find her family. just imagine if you are sorrowful for her even after two years, but they might not even know that their child is dead." thomas spoke cautiously eyeing alison's back. he was hoping that maybe meeting that girl's family will help alison. this was the last way he could think of for saving alison from completely getting depressed.
alison didn't spoke for a few minutes. the girls scared face as she ran in the forest being chased by a legendary ranked tier 3 huge spider flashed in his mind; the girl being afraid of a spider but jumping in front of an egg to save it from being cursed without slightest bit of hesitation had made a permanent place in his mind.
he had felt some connection to the girl, as if she was surrounded by light in the darkness he was engulfed in. he didn't had a mother nor any siblings but when he saw that girl he knew that if he ever had a sister, she would be like that girl.
but even before he had a chance to ask for her name fate played a cruel joke on him by taking her away. he didn't even know her name!
hearing his father alison knew that the girl's family should be suffering. if he can find them and help them along with the allying with the royal family of kingdom altai then the girl's soul might rest in peace.
"i will go to altai but not now." alison spoke in a cold but deep and melodic voice. he needed to mentally prepare himself to face the girl's family but before that he didn't like interacting with anyone else!
