Diana's P.O.V.
"There you go"
I spoke softly while roaming my fingers healing a wounded macaw, Eftsoon. Its flashy turquoise plumage fluttered excitedly indicating its felicity. I chuckled and caressed its glinting feathers.
"Di" I turned around and smiled.
"Arthur!!" I quickly got up and rushed to him. He grinned and hugged me tightly.
"How's my Princess?", he smiled and patted my head. I broke the hug and chirped, "I am fine. What about you? When did you arrive? Did Ariel come along with you?", I kept blabbering as I was too elated to see my brother.
"Oh, God!! Hush, Di. Yes, she has come with me and I am fine. Now let's go in", he laughed. I nodded and we both went inside.
"Ari!!!"
I rushed to Ariel as soon as I saw her. She clasped me in her arms and hugged me tightly. "Aww my baby, how are you?", she chuckled while patting my head.
"I am fine. What about you?", I giggled as she tickled me softly. "I am absolutely fine. Your Arthur has good news for you." My eyes sparkled in excitement.
"What is it?"
"We'll tell you later. First, let's go and meet our parents", Arthur replied while smiling at me. I and Ariel nodded and headed toward the court.
End of Diana’s P.O.V.
Hell
Today was coronation day. The palace was decked up sublimely. A huge golden clinquant chandelier was hanging up in the middle of the ceiling. Redolence of delectable fresh blood was lingering in the air. The magnanimous walls were painted and festooned with garlands and draped up with coruscating red and blue sheets of clothing.All demons, witches, and wizards of all the kingdoms were invited as today Zachary was going to be crowned as the next King of Hell. Hot and sexy ladies were dressed up in gaudy and opulent attires flaunting their curves. They all were dressed up for the King to be his next hot chic. It was nothing new for Demons as despite having their Queen, they used to keep thirty-forty side chics for themselves.
But these poor girls had no idea that the guy whom they were trying to seduce, his heart had already been captured by an innocent soul.
All of a sudden, the hall got filled with dead silence, and turned their gazes upwards. Their eyes sparkled with joy as soon as they saw Demon Prince at the top of the stairs. Everyone started cheering for the prince as he was look too handsome and hot. Zachary then descended the stairs and walked toward his father.
The ladies started winking and smirking at him sexily. They would occasionally bite their lips and flaunt their thighs and boobs so that the prince would spare them a glance. But Zachary just rolls his eyes at them in disgust. He was eagerly waiting for his dad to declare him the next King quickly so that he can accomplish the most important task he had planned with Calix.
"Alright Silence everyone", the King of Hell, Orkus spoke in his hoarse voice.
The hall immediately got clouded with pin-drop silence as the King was about to make the announcement.
"First of all, I would like to express my heartily welcome to all the Kings, Queens, Prince, and Princesses of different kingdoms for gathering here and celebrating my son's crowning ceremony. As you all know my son Zachary, the Demon of Wrath aka the most powerful and dangerous Demon of the entire Demon World has grown up mature and more tenacious. My health is also gradually ebbing away so I think it's time for me to deliver all my responsibilities to my precocious son. So thereby, I declare
Zachary as the new King of Hell and Lord of all the Demons".No sooner than Orkus had finished the hall echoed with claps and whistles as all of them started hailing the King and the Prince. Zachary walked up to his dad and hug him. Orkus hugged him back and patted his back proudly.
"I hope you make me proud my son", he spoke while cupping his face and staring at him with teary eyes. Zachary's gaze also turned soft. He nodded his head.
"I will Dad", Zachary replied while giving him an assuring smile. They both then hugged each other.
All of a sudden Zachary's lips curved up in a smirk. He looked at Calix through his peripheral vision only to find him staring him back with a smirk on his face.
He mouthed to Zachary "Ready Prince?". Zachary nodded while smiling creepily
"I was Born Ready"
Moonland
"Arthur, what did you want to tell me?", Diana chirped cutely while staring at him innocently. Arthur ruffled his hair and hugged her tightly.
"I am so scared for my Di. She is a baby. Do we have to marry her at such a young age?", Ariel spoke with a broken voice while looking at Arthur who himself was staring at her with teary eyes.
Diana's mother, Aurora, Queen of Moonland, patted her back gently as she chuckled. "Your baby has turned 20 now. And don't fall for her cuteness, she is a notorious kid pranking everyone around the castle", she spoke while pinching Diana's nose softly making her pout.
"But Mom can't we marry her when she gets 28? My baby is too small now", Arthur spoke while caressing her hair. His mother's eyes widened at his statement.
"No son, I have already promised Lord Ernest that we will have our children married as soon as Diana will turn twenty. You want your Dad to lose his pride".
Arthur averted his gaze down and shook his head slowly. While the Princess was busy in her world playing with her brother's diamond rings not pay attention to any of this.
Suddenly Diana's gaze landed on a dark smoky cloud outside the glass window covering its panes with a thick black mist.
"Arthur, what's that?", she spoke while pointing her finger towards that. They all followed her gaze and saw scintillating fuchsia and cerulean smoke outside their room on the court. They all rushed there. Arthur and Jerrick, King of Moonland, immediately took out their resplendent silver swords while dashing towards the mysterious intruders.
"WHO ARE YOU? HOW DID YOU GOT INSIDE?", Arthur yelled fiercely aiming their sword at them.
The smoke slowly started disappearing off revealing an able-bodied, handsome guy with dazzling red wings and another guy who had a well-built physique with a charming face fluttering his sapphire wings.
They both slowly opened their eyes. Everyone kept staring at them in shock except Diana who was staring at them in awe. She was completely mesmerized by their beauty and the splendid view in front of her. She thought as if she was in a fairy tale while staring at those handsome Princes. But as soon as the muscular guy opened his blood-red eyes, she squealed in excitement.
"ZACHARY!!", Diana squealed in excitement. Zachary smiled back while staring at her lovingly.
"Hi sweetheart", he spoke while kissing her face with his eyes which were filled with love.
Diana's family kept staring at them in shock while she ran towards him happily. Even Calix was shocked to see the sort of comfort she was sharing with a Demon Prince.
"What a pleasant surprise Zachary?? How are you? Did your wounds heal up?", Diana kept asking him while Zachary kept smiling while staring at her softly.
For the first time in his life, he got someone who was so much concerned about him. Although he was a Prince his parents were only concerned about their kingdom and affluence. Not for once do they show their concern towards their son.
Calix kept staring at her in awe as he thought she might be afraid of him and would run away but seeing her talking with him so comfortably not only made him shocked but also surprised as for the first time he saw an Angel talking so comfortably with a Demon. She kept asking Zachary about his health and well-being but he was just staring at her beautiful cute face shining brightly. But all of a sudden, his face darkened as he saw her brother dragging her away from him.
"Diana, are you insane? Whom are you talking to? How do you know him?", Arthur scolded Diana while glaring at Zachary which he returned with the same intensity.
"I know him, Arthur, he's the Demon Prince", she answered him softly.
As soon as those words left her mouth, all of them (except Zachary and Calix) gulped in fear.
"D-Demon!!!", Ariel stuttered while staring at them with wide eyes.
Calix smirked at her response. "Yes Almighty", he rasped. Arthur shot him a glare but frowned as he saw Diana giggling.
"She is my sister-in-law, not the Almighty, Moon Prince." Zachary shifted his gaze towards her while Calix looked at her in surprise.
"M-Moon P-Prince??", he asked while looking at her with wide eyes. Diana nodded.
"Why do you call me that?", he scowled at her but became shocked when Diana smiled at him innocently.
"Because you look like one. Moon Prince was the most beautiful and charming man of the Moonland. You look just like him", she spoke while admiring his features. Zachary clenched his jaw as she was looking at him lovingly. Arthur noticed it.
"Princess, you go to your room. I need to talk with our guests." He tried to send her away as he wanted to know what was the matter that brought these Diablos to heaven. Diana nodded. She then looked at them and waved her hand.
"Bye Demon Prince, Bye Moon Prince."
Zachary immediately calmed down as he saw her smiling face. He smiled back and nodded. Calix also nodded while smiling. As soon as she left, Arthur turned towards them and looked at them fiercely.
"What do you want??"
Zachary's gaze also darkened. He spoke in a raspy voice.
"I want to marry your sister."
*****
"I want to marry your sister." Arthur clenched his fists at his words. Anger rushed in his veins as he lashed out at him angrily. "ARE YOU INSANE?? DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT ARE YOU SAYING??", he yelled in pure fury but Zachary kept a straight face. "Listen, just because you are our Queen's brother that doesn't give you the right to yell at our King", Calix said in his raspy voice while glaring at him intensely. Everyone (except Zachary and Calix) gasped in shock. "King of Hell?? Oh my God!!!", Ariel yelled as she was shell-shocked to know this. Calix shot her a glare. "B-But I ca-can't let you marry my s-sister. She's an A-", Arthur babbled in fear but Zachary cut him off. "Angel?" He stated calmly while raising his left eyebrow. Arthur looked at him in fear as he has so calm which was not a good sign. Zachary noticed their uneasiness so he heaved a deep sigh before speaking gently. "Listen I mean no harm. I just wanted to tell you that I love your sister very much. I just want to
Hell Inside the Palace "HOW DARE YOU? WHO EVEN GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHOM WILL YOU MARRY? WITHOUT MY PERMISSION, HOW DARE YOU EVEN GO TO HEAVEN AND ASK THE HANDS OF THE PRINCESS OF THE MOON??" Orkus yelled fiercely at the young lad who was standing with his arms crossed over his chest while he stared at him with no trace of remorse on his face. "I don't need to give you any explanations as now I am the King of Hell and I can do whatever I want to do", Zachary spoke gruffly. "ZACHARY!!!!", Delphyne shouted at him feeling completely offended by his harsh words. "Enough, I have announced my decision. And you all can't change it, when I said I will marry Diana that means I will marry her only and no one has the power to change the decision of the King... Not even his parents", Zachary growled. His parents looked at him in shock after hearing his cruel words. Tears got filled in their eyes as it was heart-breaking to witness their son insulting them in front of everyone whom t
HellInside the PalaceTo say Zachary was happy would be an understatement. Zachary was on the ninth cloud after his marriage got fixed with his Angel. Brushing his hair for the tenth time while humming a melodious tone he checked himself in the mirror."Gosh Zachary, you're just gonna meet her. You are getting dressed as if it's your wedding", Calix spoke in an irritated tone while watching the younger who was all going into a frenzy."Oh, come on Dude, I am gonna meet my Angel and this is going to be my first date. Man, I am going nuts", Zachary replied in a worried tone. Calix sighed. He took the brush from his hands and placed it at the dressing table. Calix then wrapped his around his shoulders and looked at him."Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine. Listen Zachary, as far as I have understood Diana, she is a girl who is not a fan of outside beauty but judges people from their souls. We all
Moonland“WHAT???”Diana jumped in fear and turned around only to see Arthur looking at her in shock. His face was pale and his eyes had turned wide as saucers. Fear gripped her but she decided to confront her brother as he needs to know the truth. Arthur took long strides towards her and gripped her shoulders tightly.“WHAT DID YOU SAY? DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE TRUTH!!“, he growled.Diana was confused as to why her brother was reacting to her confession this way. He looked so shocked but a glint of fear was also reflected in his brown orbs. She looked at him with stern eyes but spoke in a soft and gentle tone.“This is the truth, Arthur. I love Moon Prince, the guy who is a friend of Demon Prince. I like him and I want to marry-”“NO, NO, NO!“, Arthur yelled in a scared tone making her flinched.“D-Diana, don’t say this. You are going to marr
Diana’s P.O.V.I and Zachary were strolling in the garden enjoying the serenity of nature quietly. After our little fight, we didn’t talk much. Although Zachary kept asking me about myself I replied to him in only one or two words as I was still a bit uncomfortable with him. The thick air of awkward silence was increasing the gap between us more and more while we made our way to Mount Moon which was the northernmost point of our territory.I don’t know why he was so interested in me but to be honest I don’t want to give him any false hopes. You can’t just develop feelings for someone all of a sudden. It takes time to develop a bond between two souls. A bond of trust, loyalty, care, and faith. We can’t just develop any relationship in just one meeting so why are he and my family are so adamant about making me marry a stranger whom I had met only once that was also to treat him? It was an act of kindness as he needed h
Two months later.It’s been two months since Diana and Zachary have finally come on good terms and soon their wedding bells were about to ring. Although Zachary wanted to marry Diana as soon as possible she denied it. She wanted more time.And this time Angel’s move had exasperated and triggered the Demon Prince badly.After dating Diana for one month and expressing his true feelings to her, Zachary thought that she would finally agree to his proposal. But Diana still denied or can say again rejected his proposal which made him extremely furious. Although Zachary was trying hard to change and control himself after all a leopard can’t change its spots. He is a Demon after all and on top of that the Demon of Wrath. There’s no way he will be able to change his true self. He can only hide his emotions but can’t change his real identity.When Zachary came to know that Diana was still asking for some more time, he b
“URGGGGGG!!!!!!” Zachary banged his fists on the wall angrily as he screamed in frustration. His knuckles were cut open and blood oozed from them as soon as his fists collided with the hard rock. But his face showed no sign of pain or sadness. His eyes had turned completely blood-red while his knife-sharp fangs made deep cuts on his lips. A thin stream of blood was flowing down from the side of his lip as he glared at the four walls of this huge dungeon in which he was forcefully locked up ferociously. Zachary was going out of his mind. Diana’s heart-shattering words were etched clearly in his mind. The pain of rejection was slowly eating him alive. His mind had turned completely blank while anger took a toll on his senses. He was furious, mad, upset, and was feeling so helpless. Diana has simply given him his answer. The thing which he feared the most only happened at last. Zachary tried a lot to convince his parents but they were stuck to their decision. Ev
MoonlandDiana was in her room, pacing back and forth while dwelling over her the things she had said to Zachary during their last encounter.‘Did I go too harsh on him?’“But it was necessary,” she chided her inner voice.‘But his face fell on your words. It must have hurt his feelings deeply; don’t you think so?’The crease in her brows ceased as her gaze turned glassy. She recalled how Zachary looked dejected and gloomy after hearing her sharp words.“But it’s for his betterment. I can’t become a bone of contention in his family. This is not what my brother taught me. This isn’t what my parents taught me.” Diana again justified her actions which were posited on the morals and teachings of her family. Her inner self sighed deeply to which her expression again turned sour.′You also know about Zachary. How muc
