Chapter 31 - Chapter thirty one: the Ghost kingdom

After Nicholai left the ward, king Levi went closer to Heaven. "I know this isn't the right time to discuss things like this, but at the same time it is the right time. Heaven l know you haven't got any time to think about the contract. But l would really appreciate it if you would agree to take the contract " he said. "Oh, about that. I had managed to convinced her to accept it, but then we got attacked so l couldn't deliver her message. She said that she would accept the contract on one condition", Angel looked at Heaven. "What condition?" said Eugene. "I want liberty to visit my brothers whenever l want" Heaven said. Eugene was shocked, a queen can't just leave the palace whenever she wants. If the elders finds out, they will be suspicious. "Heaven, a queen can't just come in and go out of the palace any how she wants, the elders will find it suspicious" said Eugene seriously. "But that is my only condition. My brothers and l have been together for so long. And that is not something l'm going to let go no matter what" Heaven said seriously. Eugene looked at his father, and he gave him a nod, meaning that he agrees. "Okay. You can visit your brothers whenever you want" Eugene agreed. Heaven smiled, "thank you your majesty". "Good, since it is settled, we shall we perform the ritual?' said king Levi. "Uhmm sir, l would like to wait until two days after my brothers operation' said Heaven with pleading eyes. "Why?" Eugene asked. "Because, l want to be with them all through" she said. Eugene thought for a while. "I don't care how long she wants to be with them. But l want to hear the announcement of a new queen in four days." Said king Levi, and with that he and the queen left the room. "You heard that. We should be ready in four days." Said Eugene as he watched his father retreating figure. Heaven didn't reply to that, she just looked at him.

Mean while in the dark demons territory, in the Ghost kingdom, the king and the officials are having a meeting "My king, the warriors we sent have all been killed" said one of the ministers, named Minister Willow. "Who killed them?" Asked the king, in a very cold tone. " It was a girl, l think she is the king's mate" said another minister. All of the officials who were supposed to bow their heads in the court, raised their heads when they heard this. "What!!, How come?, I thought he doesn't have any mate, didn't we kill her a long time ago. so how come another mate suddenly appears now" said another of the officials panicked . "Well our informant in the palace, told us that he has found his mate on the night of the festival" said Minister Willow. Normally , kings and queens can only have one mate in their lifetime, unlike other deomns who can have a second chance mate. Demon kings and queens will become mateless for life if they their mates dies. "But he also said the lady doesn't want to accept him" he added. "Then we should make sure it stays that way" said another minister, Minister Malcolm. "There won't be any need for that. If she fought against the scouts, then she is already poisoned , her life is definitely hanging in the balance as we speak" said the king's second son, Prince Trevor. And that lightened up their mood. "I can't wait to see look on his face, when his mate dies" said the king devilishly.

Heaven had mindlinked her brothers , and explained everything that happened to them. Including the contract, despite being warned not to do so. When she got home, her brothers pulled her into a tight hug. "We were so worried. We couldn't mindlink you, we couldn't track you either. You completely blocked us off" they ranted like they didn't just finished speaking . "I'm sorry l made you worry so much. And l didn't mean to block you off like that. I didn't even know that l did that". She said as she stroke their hair.
