"I'll give you one last chance to surrender" Heaven said dangerously. But Samantha was afraid, but because of her undying obsession, she charged at Heaven anyway. She swinged her swords at her repeatedly in her demon speed. But Heaven dogded each strike. She bent down and used her leg to knock Samantha off her feet. Samantha fell hard on the ground. Before she could get up, Heaven levitated her off the ground and repelled her to the nearby fence. Samantha quickly get up and charged at her again.
Heaven gave her the same treatment she gave Nora. She held her by her neck and pinned her on ground. "Will you surrender or not?" She said as she tightened her grib on her neck. Samantha tried to get Heaven's hand off her neck but couldn't. "I won't surrender. I rather die than surrender" she screamed. "As you wish then" Heaven said dangerously. The people began to shout her name. "Long live the queen. Long live Queen Heaven".

Heaven Alizah Dainne' s pov:
As l walked down the palace hallway, the maids greeted me, "my queen". I'm coming from the dinning room. It was quiet and peaceful this time. After the fight, Eugene announced that the coronation will be held in a week.
Samantha didn't surrender in the fight. Even when she was clearly dying. So l had to knock her out, to end the fight. I could see the disappointment in the elders' eyes. They clearly didn't want me to win.
I wonder why they called Eugene so urgently. "I think they know we are here" said my witch, Irene. I halted in my tracks when she said that. That can't be. I know many kingdoms have been trying to track me but could Dekrish's seers and elders be so capable. Well there's only one way to find out. And with that l went to the hall he always receives the elders. The hall of longetivity, as they call it.
I made myself invincible and masked my scent. I stood at a corner and watched as Eugene entered the hall majestically and all the elders bow to him. Once he sat on his throne, he told them to rise and they did.
"What's the matter?" He asked with an authorative tone.
"My king, l had a vision" someone spoke, from his aura, l can tell that he is a seer, a powerful one to be precise.
"And what did you see Lincoln?" Eugene asked seriously.
"The child of the prophecy is in the palace" Lincoln dropped the bombshell. As l thought, geez l hate these so called powerful seers. Luckily, lrene was smart enough not to let all of Adira's power and aura out earlier, otherwise it would have been disastrous.
Eugene adjusted his posture and moved forward a bit. "Are you sure about this?" He asked.
"I'm certain, my king" Lincoln bowed.
Eugene frowned. "Then why can't l feel his energy?"
Big word, HIS, he thinks l'm a boy. Funny.
"Obviously he is good at hiding his energy. The important question is what is he doing in the palace?" Asked one of the elders.
'I'm here because your king contracted me to be your queen until he finds his mate' l wanted to say but l don't dare.
Eugene sat properly on his throne and stared blankly for a while. He seems to be thinking. "Or maybe, he is the one who helped the dark demons to get into the palace without being seen" said Elder Saffron. Such a funny statement.
"That's a possibility" Eugene nodded. True, that's a possibility. But l'm a queen, l'll never be a surbordinate to anyone. "But whether she's here as an enemy or a friend, we still need to be on a lookout. I'll tell the palace knights to report someone that looks suspicious and reeks of too much raw power. If that's all, you are all dismissed" He ended the discussion. Why is he in a hurry?. The elders bowed to him before leaving the hall. He almost turned to my direction when l teleported out of the hall. That was close, l almost got caught.
I'm sure he'll go to my room after passing his order to the knights. But l'm not sleepy now, so l'll just take a walk first.
He's going to tell them to pay attention to anyone that reeks of raw power. Funny, we've even kissed and he didn't know that he was kissing the child of the prophecy he was looking for. I wonder what he'll do when he finds out.
Honestly, l don't want this life of mine. I don't want to be a queen. I just want to be a simple ordinary girl living happily with her loving mate and brothers. But l know that will never be possible. Here l am, standing on the terrace of the palace of the most powerful demon kingdom. Here l am, being the queen of Dekrish . Even though it's only temporary, l have a feeling this will be a starting point of a new phase of my life.
I left the terrace and walked into the deeper part of the palace. l've never been to this part of the palace and l know l'll defintely get lost. But l can always teleport back to my room if l do.
After walking for about thirty minutes, l decided to go back to room. But then l heard voices from a distance. I masked my aura, made myself invincible and went to check it out. When l got there, l saw one of the elders standing in front of two dark demons. But l couldn't see their faces as they were wearing black hoodies.
"I'll inform you if there is any news. But for now, l'll see on the night of the coronation" he said. The two dark demons nodded and disappeared. The elder also left. So this how the dark demons have been entering the palace, there's a mole in the palace. And the mole is one of the elders. Nice.
I teleported back to the terrace and stayed there for a few minutes. I don't want to go to my room now, because l know Eugene will be there. But then that man won't leave my room if l keep staying here. And with that l started walking back to my room.
