Chapter 28 - "Bound Since Birth: The Princess and the Mortal"

Banayote was shocked. He then said, "The day I was born?" The woman nodded and said, "Yes, the day you were born was the best day of my life. I waited for you to grow up so I could marry you."

Banayote said, "You waited 21 years to marry me?" The woman nodded.

Banayote then said, "If I may ask, how old are you?"

The woman said, "One thousand and twenty-one years old."

Banayote was shocked. He said, "Wow, but you don't look a day over 18."

The woman said, "Well, yes, I'm immortal."

Banayote was surprised. He said, "You're immortal? That's amazing! Can I ask you something else?"

The woman nodded.

Banayote asked, "Your ears?"

The woman said, "I'm a demon fox."

Banayote was shocked. He said, "That is so cool!"

The woman looked at him, amused. She said, "You don't seem scared or terrified."

Banayote said, "Well, it's impossible to be scared when you're so beautiful."

The woman's heart skipped a beat, and she started blushing a lot. She said, "You're such a sweet husband." She hugged Banayote. Then she said, "Come, let me introduce you to my mother."

Banayote said, "Okay."

The woman took Banayote to her mom. Her mom looked at Banayote and smiled. She said, "It's nice to meet you, Banayote. You must be the one my daughter has been talking about."

The woman started blushing and said, "Mom! Don't say it out loud."

The mother laughed and said, "Oh, come on, don't be shy. You waited 21 years for this moment."

The mother looked over at Banayote and said, "I'm really happy that you're here today."

Banayote said, "It's an honor for me to be here."

The mother said, "Make sure to give me lots of grandchildren, okay?"

The woman and Banayote froze. They started blushing and sweating. The mother laughed and said, "Oh, calm down, I'm just teasing you." (She wasn't, she's serious.)

Banayote said, "Well, I'm happy to be here in your presence, and I can see where your daughter gets her looks."

The mother started blushing like crazy. She said, "Oh, Banayote, you're such a tease. My daughter will get teased a lot."

The mother started laughing. The woman and Banayote started laughing too. Banayote was so happy. He looked over at the woman; she was so beautiful, laughing. Banayote said, "She waited for me 21 years. No one even waited for me for 5 seconds. I'm so blessed."

The woman stopped laughing and looked over at Banayote. The mother said, "Okay, I'm going to leave you guys alone so you can hang out." The mother waved goodbye and walked away. Her face was still red from the compliment. She said to herself, "I'm happy that my daughter found him."

The mother went to the crowd and started talking to the guests.

The woman said to Banayote, "Come, let me introduce you to my friends." She held Banayote's hand, and Banayote held hers. She led him to the group of people. They looked at Banayote with surprise. They all ran towards Banayote, saying, "It's you! It's really you!" Banayote was surprised by their reaction.

One of her friends said, "It's nice to meet you. I'm Sakura. You must be Banayote. You're so handsome."

Banayote said, "Thank you, I'm flattered."

The woman looked over at Banayote and pouted. Banayote looked at her and noticed that she was angry. Banayote kissed her hand. The woman blushed.

Sakura said, "Oh my, what a gentleman!"

Before she could say anything else, a guy walked in with a friendly smile and said, "Oh hey, you must be Banayote. Nice to meet you, I'm Loid."

Banayote looked at him and said, "It's nice to meet you."

Loid looked at the woman and said, "Can I borrow Banayote for a sec?"

The woman said, "Why?"

Loid said, "I just want to get to know him better."

The woman looked at Banayote. Banayote then said, "It's okay, I don't mind."

The woman said, "Okay, but don't go too far and don't be late."

Banayote nodded. Loid walked next to Banayote and said, "So tell me about you."

Banayote looked at him and said, "So, what do you think about the Underworld?"

Banayote said, "It's amazing."

Loid nodded and said, "It is amazing. Hey, do you want to see the view from the balcony?"

Banayote said, "I don't want her to worry about me, and she told me not to go too far."

Loid said, "It's okay, it's near, and we'll be back quickly."

Loid took Banayote to the balcony. The woman looked around and noticed that Banayote was out of sight. Banayote was stunned to see the Underworld from a high ground. He was amazed.

Banayote said, "It's amazing."

Loid then said, "Yes, and you're not even worthy to see it."

Banayote's expression changed, and he turned to Loid and said, "What do you mean?"

Loid then said, "Calm down, I was joking."

Banayote immediately knew something was wrong. He felt when the woman asked why, that she didn't want him to go.

Loid then said, "So, you're going to marry the princess of the Underworld?"

Banayote looked at him with a serious expression. He felt like Loid was an enemy.

Banayote then said, "Yes, we are going to get married. Is something wrong with that?" Banayote said while looking at him in the eyes.

Loid said, "Well, I don't think a worthless human deserves to even be near the princess."

Banayote's expression changed to angry.

Loid said, "I can't believe she waited 21 years for a stupid human. Hahahaha!"

Before Loid could say anything else, the woman was standing behind him. Banayote looked at her, surprised. Her eyes were glowing, but she didn't show any expression.

Loid then noticed Banayote wasn't focusing on him. Loid turned his back, and before he could say or do anything, the woman quickly grabbed his neck and lifted him up. Loid was choking and struggling to move.

The woman said, "You're worthless scum. How dare you talk to my husband this way?"

Banayote stood there watching and said, "Wow, she's so strong."

Loid couldn't say anything. The woman slammed him onto the floor, breaking the floor. Loid passed out.

The woman looked over at Banayote with a serious expression. Banayote looked at her. The woman walked slowly toward Banayote. Banayote stood there, not saying anything.

The woman hugged him and said, "Are you okay, dear?" She cupped his face and kissed his forehead.

Banayote then said, "I'm okay. I'm sorry for making you worry about me. I shouldn't have gone out of your sight."

The woman shook her head. "No, don't blame yourself. I shouldn't have let you go."

Banayote then said, "I'm sorry."

The woman hugged him and said, "It's okay."

Banayote hugged her back, relieved, as he felt guilty for making her worry.

The woman looked at Banayote. She then turned and called the maids.

The maids lined up and said, "Your orders, Mistress."

The woman said, "Take that scum out of my house and don't let him ever come near this place again."

The maids nodded and quickly rushed toward Loid, who was passed out. They dragged him out of the castle and threw him out.

The maids turned back to the castle, but before Hanako left, she went back and kicked Loid, saying, "Bastard!"

Hanako went back to the castle.

The woman and Banayote were still holding each other. The woman looked at Banayote and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble that happened."

Banayote then said, "No, no, it's okay. I'm not mad."

The woman said, "I always felt like something was wrong with him. I can't believe I even talked to him."

Banayote said, "It's okay, don't blame yourself. I'm fine."

Banayote's eyes watered. The woman held his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Banayote wiped his tears and said, "It's just what Loid said."

The woman quickly hugged him and said, "Shhh, don't think about it. It's all lies."

Banayote cried more because, as

you can see, it's so easy to forget if people curse you, but it's hard to handle when they value you.

Banayote said, "I know that I'm just a human and you're a princess of the Underworld."

The woman then thought to herself, (I'm going to kill Loid.)

Banayote then said, "I understand. All the people in the Underworld think that we're not meant for each other."

The woman then held Banayote's face and said, "You're mine, mine only, and I'm yours. No one has the right to even think otherwise. And if anyone dares to say anything, I'm going to end their life."

Banayote started blushing. He looked at her in the eyes.

The woman leaned closer to Banayote, gently leaning toward his face. Banayote's heart started beating fast. His face turned red. The woman was blushing and nervous. She leaned in more, and then Banayote started to lean in as well.

Their lips met. The woman started kissing Banayote passionately. Banayote kissed back. The woman pulled him close and kept kissing him. Banayote kept kissing her more.

The woman and Banayote slowly pulled away, both breathing heavily. The woman was blushing.

She then smiled and said, "I love you, Banayote."

Banayote smiled and said, "I love you too."

Banayote then noticed something and said, "Oh my, I'm so sorry."

The woman tilted her head and said, "What for?"

Banayote said, "We spent the whole day together, and we kissed, and I didn't ask you your name. I'm so sorry."

The woman smiled and said, "Don't be sorry. Everything was new to you, and you weren't able to think straight."

The woman looked at him and said, "My name is Kyouka."

Banayote smiled and looked at her. "Beautiful name."

Kyouka's heart skipped three beats. She started covering her face.

Banayote noticed and said, "Oh my, you're so cute."

Kyouka turned away and said, "You're such a tease."

Banayote laughed. Kyouka turned to him, took his hand, and said, "Come, let's go to the party. This time I won't let you leave my sight."

Banayote blushed even more. They went to the party and started having fun. Kyouka danced with Banayote all night. Banayote leaned toward Kyouka and closed his eyes. She noticed that he was tired. She told him, "You must be really tired."

Banayote said, "I'm okay. I'm just closing my eyes a little."

Kyouka laughed and said, "Come, let's get you to bed."

Kyouka took Banayote to her room. She sat him in a large bed. She started taking off his shoes. Banayote just sat there, tired, unable to say anything. The woman took off his suit, leaving him with his shorts. She laid him in bed. The woman took off her clothes and lay down next to Banayote, placing her arm on his left shoulder.

She said, "Make sure you rest well."

After a while, Banayote opened his eyes. He woke up in the middle of the night. He looked by his side to see Kyouka sleeping next to him. He admired her beauty. Then Banayote felt dizzy. He got up and walked around the room, looking for the bathroom. His vision was red.

He went to the door, opened it, and found the bathroom. He went to the sink and looked into the mirror. His eyes were glowing. He felt like he was going to puke. He lowered his head into the sink to puke, but nothing came out, only saliva.

His hand was on the side of the sink, grabbing onto it. He heard a crack. He looked at his hand and lifted it. He saw a crack on the sink.

Banayote said, "Oh no, I broke it!"

Banayote then felt something around him. He looked up in the mirror to see—he was shocked. There were six arms piercing out of his back.
