Chereads / Saved by An Angelic Demon / Chapter 12 - The Underworld Wedding

Chapter 12 - The Underworld Wedding

"If I die, will you love someone else?" The Queen asked. He nodded his head and left a kiss on the back of her hand. 

"Our children. They are the ones that I will only love when you die." He answered. She had been bedridden for a decade. She can't walk anymore and sit on her throne. Perhaps, it was her fate. 

"I'll give birth to him soon. Will he be able to accept that his mother left already?" Her protruding belly is the symbol of their undying love. It was their second and last child. 

It was loud and clear when she told him that he should not use any more dark powers on her body because she wants to have rest eternally. He respected and accepted her decision. He can feel that she has suffered enough already. He didn't want to give up but when she said that there will be another lifetime for them, it convinced him. He promised her a lifetime. She promised him love and happiness. 

"Let's spend another lifetime together, Gianna." He whispered and she gave him a nod. He knows that it will be her last day tomorrow.

"I will wait for you, Raiji." Tears fell from her eyes while smiling weakly. Despite being reincarnated, there will be time that she will give up. Her time is finally up. 

「 🍉 」

"Are you thinking about Mother?" The Prince asked when he saw that the King was staring at nowhere. The moment the Queen gave birth to him, she died. There were times that he blamed himself for it. 

"I'm just thinking about our promises." The King said. He turned around and looked at his bride. He smiled softly, knowing that their promises are already happening in the human world. 

"Look at this. They said it looks good on me." She said while showing him a black choker. It has a black opal pendant. He nodded and helped her to wear it. 

"I told Gia that you will call her once we arrive here. Do you want to call her now?" He asked and she nodded many times while smiling widely. 

The couple went to the chamber to give Gia a call. Hikaru took the black mirror and gave it to her. She looked at him, wondering how she would be able to call Gia using it. Her eyes widened when he touched the center and they heard it ringing. She chuckled softly when the call connected. 

"Gia!" She called her. He shook his head while smiling widely since she is acting like a kid. The King is just leaning behind the wall and listening to their conversation. 

"Are you happy there?" The King mumbled. If he can just stay in the human world just to be with her, he will do it. They heard another voice and he smiled when he realized that they shared the same tone. 

"Reiki-san?" Fuyu asked and they heard the engaged couple fighting in the background. The King chuckled and walked away from the chamber. He is now relieved that she finally found him in another lifetime. 

After the call, the King told the servants to help the Prince and the soon-to-be Princess to prepare their wedding. It will not really take too long for them to get married. Fuyu changed her dress into a black wedding gown. They put the black wedding veil on her head and once she got finished with her makeup, they helped her to walk back to the great hall. Her eyes wandered when the whole place turned into a different one. 

There was a red carpet. The floor is covered with red and blue rose petals. It was raining stars. She saw her groom standing and waiting for her in front of the aisle. Wearing a black wedding tuxedo, he was also wearing his prince crown. The servant gave her a bouquet of white roses. She looked at it since it is the only white thing around. 

She didn't expect to have a black wedding but she accepted it because she knows that it's no ordinary one. She started walking to the aisle and she wished that her friends were there to witness it. When she finally arrived, the Prince reached for her gloved hand and left a kiss on it. His eyes glinted as it turned into dark red. The King officially welcomed her to the kingdom and to the family. The servant gave the princess crown to the King. The Prince lifted her wedding veil and she slowly squatted down to let the King put the crown on her head. 

She smiled softly after standing up again. She looked at him and he smiled softly. He got his late mother's wedding ring and he put it on her finger. The wedding ceremony ended with a kiss. Everyone congratulated them. They are hoping that the newlywed couple will stay there since the underworld was once sad and quiet because the Queen died. 

"Are you sure you only want a child? You don't want three of them?" The Prince asked and she pouted. They said that giving birth is so painful and you are basically risking your life for another life. 

"How about two? You're not the one who will give birth after all." She said, turning her back on him since she will take her wedding gown off. 

"What if that two becomes four? Like we will have two sets of twins." She furrowed her brows as she looked at him. 

"Are you serious? I love kids but it doesn't mean we will have lots." She unzipped the gown from her back and she turned around again to take the accessories off. 

He stared at her bare skin, feeling a bit animalistic since they are already husband and wife. He looked away, obviously avoiding to pounce on her just because she showed a little bit of her skin. He kept on reminding himself that she might get scared if he would suddenly attack and take her. He shut his eyes and decided to leave the chamber. When she turned again to look at him, she found herself alone there.
