The wedding was over and it was time for me to leave the home I grew up in, to spend the rest of my life somewhere far away from home with a man I have no feeling of love for.
Azrael already took his leave before the ceremony ended, which meant I was going to meet him in the Demon realm.
I was escorted out by some maids and my sisters gave me their goodbye hugs before bidding me farewell.
My father didn't even move a muscle as he watched me being taken away by the demon maids. I knew it was all a part of the tradition but I felt like an offender that is been taken to hell.
At that moment I knew every moment I wished to spend in my life had to change.
I got into a golden carriage that led to the border between angels and demons, no one knew I had demonic powers maybe because it hadn't been discovered yet but I feel the power reveal through me.
Most times I have dreamt of seeing my mother's image in light in between darkness, but whenever we were about to make contact with each other she would vanish and I would be awakened from the dream.
It had always been the same for the past few weeks before my marriage and I never had the chance to open up to anyone.
Although I had a sister but been the last one they were older and all had got married and now it was my turn but different in a way I never could have dreamt of.
My heart pounded through my chest as the carriage made its way through a vortex which was a gateway to the demon realm.
My life had just begun to be unbearable, I was about to be the only Angel in the demon realm and I am the first Angel to legitimately get married to a member of the Demon clan.
I got down from the carriage as I got welcomed in by some maids.
It was my first in the demon realm and the stir everyone gave me as I walked into the castle of the demon lord made me want to sink into the ground.
The environment was so different from mine, the whole surrounding gave me dark energy and the gaze of everyone felt deadly.
My lady, I would be at your service for today "a maid dressed in something different from what maids from home would wear said with a bow".
I nodded without any response as she led the way into my room.
The room was very big and had more space than what was in it just like my bedroom at home but darker and silent.
There was hardly any noise in the castle, everyone was with his business.
No fun activities were going on and there wasn't a bridal welcoming ceremony when I got there.
All of my clothes and jewelry were taken off by some maids.
I was led to the bath and soaked in a nice warm bath.
Although the bath felt great I thought it would have been in a much colder temperature since the view wasn't so nice.
I walked back into the room in a robe after the bath ended.
The maids helped me out in drying off my hair as I was made to sit on a chair before a mirror.
My jawline dropped and my cheeks changed colors as the maid presented a night dress to me.
It was so see-through that I felt too shy to try it on, I shooked my head in displeasing as she showed it to me, I do not want to attract the attention of the third prince not even to talk of turning him on.
There was no difference between wearing the dress and walking around naked.
Isn't there something less revealing than this that I could wear "I asked feeling nervous as I brushed my hands up and down my left arm".
I am sorry my lady but am afraid not "the maid said as she showed the other options there were".
I am in the demon realm all right "I said with a deep sigh".
I stood reluctantly as she slid it on me.
Perfect, now the third prince can't help but notice you now "the maid gestured with a smirk".
Wh.... What do you mean by what you just said: "my lips trembled as I uttered those words".
Don't tell me you don't know about the wedding night "the maid said with a smile".
Well I certainly am but things don't happen so fast according to the angel traditions, the bride usually is given four days after the marriage before the consummation "I concluded".
And why is that my lady "the maid asked".
According to Angelic law, those four days serve as a moment of marital ritual to bless the couple for a fruitful bed. A fruitful bed means the blessing of having a child after the consummation "I explained noticing the maid's gaze after the statement *fruitful bed*".
*pfft* Traditions, more like torture "she said rolling her eyes in sarcasm".
I am sorry my lady, if I have seemed rude "the maid apologized noticing my expression towards her attitude".
It's fine, I know it's dumb for me to think the Angle traditions would be embraced in the demon realm. "I said adapting to my misquotation".
Do not worry my lady am sure he is going to be mild with you, knowing it is your first time.
I took heed of her words, realizing how older and wiser she was than me. *that I judged through her mouth full of answers to my question and her open gestures towards me.
What would you like to have for dinner, I would have it delivered to you "she stated".
A slice of treacle tart should be fine "I replied".
It would be brought to you shortly "she said before finally shutting the door behind her".
I sat on the chair while I waited for the arrival of the food.
A moment later, I heard the sound of the door, I stood up immediately to see if it was Nadine the maid at the door.
To my disbelief, it was Azrael instead.
My heart took different turns as my heart beat raced higher than its peak.
My feet trembled almost fully sure why he was here, tears of fright almost dripped down my cheeks.
