"Who knew the happiest day
Would be the start of a betrayal."

Today is the day of the annual hunting competition. All the nobel families have started gathering at the royal ground. And Lily is already stressed about the first day since the hunting starts from the second day i decided to take part in activities. I decided to mingle with the ladies of the demon world.
"My lady, please get up you cannot absolutely be late today. His Majesty has personally told me to make sure My lady looks absolutely gorgeous. People need to see how beautiful their future queen is."
It's so tiring dressing up all the time. I still can believe it how these girls can dress up 5 times a day it seems like a lot of work. Untill the hunting competition is over i need to suck up and keep up the image of a perfect fiance and please my fiance.
"My Lady, please don't be lazy. We have so much to do and we no time."
"I get it Lily, don't whine."
Lily spent almost 7 hours getting me ready. The fact she woke me up at the crack of dawn and won't let me eat untill she had given me all the necessary treatment and massage. Damn those massages were amazing i never felt so relaxed in my life. The dress Kaiser got me for was an absolute banger. It was a black selves less dress with gold embroidery and gold dust sprinkled and sweet heart neck line. It was just gorgeous when kai picked it out for me It wasn't until we got back and Lily told me that couple wearing matching clothes is common here. She put hair in a braided bun and a diamond set.
"You're all set now, My Lady."
Knock on the door.
"Who is it."
"It's me, Kaiser. Have you finished getting dressed up."
"I greet, His Majesty. May eternal glory be with you."
"You look so beautiful."
I blushed. My cheeks were a shade of light pink and the whole room felt warm.
"Thank you."
"Shall we, My Lady. It's almost time to make our entrance."
"Of course, Your Majesty."

Today is an important day. It's been week since i last saw Aseira. I've been so busy with all the preparations and meeting with foreign delegation coming for the event.
"Your Majesty, It's almost time. You need to start getting ready."
"I will Helga, after working on this document."
"I understand, then i will send someone to help you."
After getting dressed i went to Aseira palace. I don't know what took over me but i went there as soon as i was done. When i saw her wearing the dress i picked she looked so beautiful.
"You look so beautiful." I said without out realizing. She blushed her cheeks were decorated with a shade of light pink.
"Shall we, My Lady. It's almost time for our entrance."
"Of course, Your Majesty."
"His Royal Highness, Kaiser Arsenio Kronos and Her Ladyship, Aseira Nolan are entering."
"We greet His Majesty and Her Ladyship. May eternal glory be with you."
"You may rise."
Every nobel present there were looking at Aseria yet she stood by my side confidently like nothing could ever faze her.
"Your Majesty, May we inquire who is this lady besides you."
"She is my fiance and soon to be my wife and your queen. We'll be getting married coming spring."
"But Your Majesty, isn't she the one who suddenly appeared at the banquet last month. Who knows where she came from and if she's from nobel birth or not."
"So what, If she's from somewhere and if she's a nobel or not. I love her enough to marry."
"Your Majesty, It seems like your people don't like me i told you it wouldn't be good and they won't accept me."
"Love, look at me do you remember what i told you yesterday."
"Yes, i remember it. How can i forgot it. You said to kill anyone who dares to offend me or stand in my way."
"Good, so you do remember. Now do you want to kill them or should i do it."
"I don't want ruin such a day with the blood of someone who don't even understand where they stand and where i stand."
"So, you want to let them live. Is that what you're saying."
"Yes."
"Then, I'm going to where Lady Ingrid is. See you later."
I can't believe how bad i'm down for her. She's so different not any other demon girls i have met that Helga forced if she didn't left me when i was in bad situation then i wouldn't have Aseira. Maybe our meeting was meant to happen. Just like mom and dad told me.
"You're really down for her. You weren't like that before. You're totally in love with her."
"Leon."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"What are you saying. I'm not in love in with Aseira."
"You don't need to deny it my friend. I can see it in your eyes. You're totally down for her and you weren't like that before. I never saw you talking that sweetly with anyone before."

What am i saying. How can i tell kai to kill his people and why does he look pleased like if i agree with him he'll definitely kill them. I need to get on these people good side not on their bad side. I need to leave or i will say something else that i won't be able to take back.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to see Lady Ingrid. I'll see you later."
"Come back soon."
"Greetings, My Lady. It's nice to meet you."
"Greetings, Lady Ingrid. Why don't we have some tea in my tea and have a little chat."
"Lady Ingrid, i heard from His Majesty that you also participate in the hunting competition."
"Yes, i don't like to sit and talk with other ladies and wait for their lovers, fiance or husband bring their hunt to them. I rather hunt than wait i prefer to prove it everyone that i deserve to be the head of family. Why are asking me that, Lady Nolan."
"Me, i asked because i was going to hunt tomorrow along with His Majesty. I told him I don't want to sit and have meaningless talk with others. I'm used to hunting so i thought it would be weird if i was the only one who will hunt but when His Majesty told me about you i was so happy."
"Then shall we bet on something to make it more interesting, Lady Ingrid."
"Why not. I love gambling it make me desire that thing more. So what are we betting."
"The loser have to grant anything they want or they have to listen to winner for a whole day."
"The bet is on, be prepared. Lady Nolan. I'm quite strong."
"You too, Lady Ingrid. Don't get surprised later."
To be continued.
