What the hell did this man just say? Isabel was already married before asking for my hands in marriage?
I was certainly shocked by this revelation but calmed down as soon as I heard Isabel speak.
"He is not my husband Tim is and how on earth did you find me?" she asked furiously.
"Oh it wasn't that much of a hassle, you see the demon lord sent me after you immediately you ran and for some reason I was surprised to find you in the world of weaklings…no, what was more shocking is the fact that you are rejecting the demon lord for this little worm.
SWISH BAM
Isabel dashed towards the man at an incredible speed and threw a punch at his face which he easily evaded.
Isabel kept throwing punches here and there but to no avail as the man she was attacking was evading all the attacks with the most minimum effort required.
"Enough with this meaningless charade" the man said as he held my neck lifting me of the ground like I was a rag doll. He moved so fast that there was no way I could react.
"Come quietly or this worm dies" he said as he smirked at her.
Isabel could do nothing but fall on her knees in despair.
"Put the boy down and put your hands I…"
BOOM
The soldier's head exploded as the man breathed fire out of his mouth on the face of the soldier that was about to apprehend him.
"Fine I'll go with you just leave these people alone" she said as she stood up.
"Good girl, you've made an excellent choice. Now let's go back home"
I had already lost consciousness due to the pressure the man emitted but he didn't let me go as he carried me on his shoulder.
He stretched his hands in front of him and a rift opened right before us as he walked through the rift with Isabel right behind him.
On the other side of the rift was another world, literally. There were many creatures which could not be found on earth; exotic birds, griffins, dire wolves, and many other species. The sky was blood red and the air was thick with the smell of war.
******
After a while I regained my consciousness and got up from the ground but I had chains on my hand s and feet. I looked around and found out I was thrown in the dungeon.
I didn't know where I was or what was going to happen to me but was really worried about Isabel as I could sense the pain in her heart.
Just where did I go wrong, was it when I met Isabel? Or when I agreed to the marriage? No it wasn't, I just wasn't strong enough.
I sat down as ii could sense a high amount of mana in the area right from the moment I woke up. I started absorbing as much as I could,

I screamed as I grabbed the chains in pain. I could feel my bones cracking and my flesh ripping.
Shortly after, I could feel my consciousness slowly drifting away.

Isabel's POV
I had no choice but to follow Malvix, if I ran or opposed he would no doubt kill Tim, I can't believe I dragged Tim into this.
"You best behave if you want that worm to live" Malvix said with a grin on his face.
Soon we got to a huge red door.
"I have arrived with the princess My liege" Malvix spoke out loud
The huge door creaked opened as I walked. I glared at the figure sitting on the throne my father once sat. The man who was sitting on the throne now was Val de nox the man who killed my father and is the present demon king.
"My dear wife, welcome back I shall throw a feast for your return". The man said as he smiled at me
"I don't need your meaningless gesture, I'd rather kill myself than agree to be your wife" I said as I spat at his feet.
As I glared at him Malvix walked up to the demon king and knelt before him.
"My liege, I brought a human boy who claimed to be the husband of the princess".
"What!!! Bring that worthless creature who dares try to steal the heart of my woman before me!! I shall have him dragged around the city and have his body fed to the griffins" Von de nox yelled while releasing his dark aura around the room.
I was trembling from where I stood, and was barely using my mana to stand.
"Don't touch him... please, I'll do whatever you ask of me, just let him go" I pleased as I fell to my knees, I couldn't bear to watch the one man I have come to love be killed in such a gruesome death.
I could see Von clearly smiling
"Alright, I'll keep him locked up if you ever step out of line I'll end him" he said with a smirk on his face.
I had no option but to follow his orders until I got strong enough, if I can at least keep Tim alive until I get strong enough to protect him from these monsters.
"I'll still have to punish that creature for calling himself your husband" Von said as he ordered the guards to beat Tim up.

TIM'S POV
I woke up with a severe headache as I held my head, I looked around trying to recall what had happened. Soon Isabel appeared in my mind.
What was going to happen to her?.
"The creature is awake, I bet we are going to have fun torturing this creature" I heard a man's voice getting closer. I looked at the two men who were looking at me like they were looking at a shit.
Their skin was pale, and they had horns on their head and two pairs of bat wings and a spear on their hand.
"What can I help you young men with"😌
