Moonland
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."

Diana opened her eyes as soon as the mild fragrance of flowers hit her olfactory bulbs. Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the sun that was staring back at her from the horizon. His bright red color was now faded to orange. Tears welled up in her eyes as just like her it seemed to lose all its spark and spirit and appeared dull and weary.Averting her eyes, she then looked around only to find the verdant grass, the exotic flowers which had also started withering, the snow-covered mountain which didn’t look appealing as usual, and the huge, lush valleys that were staring at her in sorrow. The birds weren’t chirping either as if they all were silently grieving for the injustice which had happened to her.Diana sighed and dropped her bleak eyes to the ground unable to look at the gifts of God sharing her grief when she felt a cold touch on her neck. She looked down only to find the heart-shaped pendant strung in a gold chain that Zachary had gifted on her birthday resting on h
Calix chased Diana who simply walked ahead lifelessly. He didn’t dare to face her but he felt the need to comfort her. After all, he was equally responsible for the injustice that she had to go through today.“D-Diana” Calix called her from behind but she didn’t stop. He increased his pace when suddenly he felt her figure fading in the air. Shock entered his sapphire hues. Panicking, he tried to catch her but his shoes were abruptly glued to the floor.“What the hell?”Calix growled and again tried but soon his legs were also paralyzed. It was as if someone had tied his legs with an invisible rope.“What is happening? DIANA!! DIANA, DIANA STOP!!” Calix screamed and struggled violently but Diana disappeared in thin air.“NO!! DIANA!!!” Calix shouted and burst into heart-wrenching sobs. He knew what he had done with Diana was unforgivable. He knew everything yet chose to betray her. The girl was innocent yet he kept quiet just as he did in the past. He helped Zachary win her when he kne
Calix had his back leaned against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest. Heaving a frustrated sigh, he looked at Rose who had not for once removed her gaze away from the mahogany door. His eyes then dropped to her left leg which was bouncing non-stop. Calix was well aware that Rose was worried about what was happening behind those closed doors. They both shared the same feeling cause just like her, his anxiety was also mushrooming with every passing second. But the vigorous and harsh tap of her heels was now giving him a headache.“DAMN, Will you please stop this?” Frustrated, Calix bellowed at Rose who jumped in her place.Huffing, he looked away but was startled when Rose suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hands in her soft ones.“Cal, I am scared. What if Orkus demands something absurd from Diana and threatens her to accept his condition? You do know that your King and Queen despise her to the core. What if they try to take advantage of this situation and hurt her?” S
“Try to understand Princess, he had lost a large amount of blood. There’s no way he would be able to make it.” One of the wizards exclaimed as he pressed Zagan’s chest who abruptly started to wheeze.Jasmine was also rubbing his palms which were turning cold with every passing second. The girl who was always conscious of her looks was in a vulnerable state. Her beautiful, thick hair was messed up like a mare’s nest and her hazel eyes had turned red due to excessive crying.Jasmine was losing hope as Zagan was showing no signs of improvement. He was still losing blood and his wounds weren’t healing. The wizards were losing their minds because their best medicines turned unraveled, extinguishing their hopes.Jasmine looked at the head wizard, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE WON’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT!! THEODORE HAD ONLY STABBED HIS BACK NOT HIS HEART.” She shouted, her eyes shooting daggers.The wizard huffed and threw her a pissed look, “But you’re forgetting that it was Theodore’s sword. The appar
“Please Barbas, there must be some way to cure him,” Delphyne pleaded to the man who was staring at Zachary’s unconscious figure hopelessly.After the fierce combat that took place in the Theo Dynasty, Calix wasted no time and took Zachary back to their home, Binnazun Dynasty. It was because apart from Barbas no one had the power nor the skills to cure Zachary.Diana, Jasmine, and Rose also accompanied him. Zagan was taken to a separate room for treatment while the royal family except for Jasmine who was with Zagan was assembled in the King’s room.Barbas gulped the lump that formed in his throat after hearing Delphyne’s pleas. He opened his mouth to speak only to choke on air.There’s nothing he could do now.Barbas along with his cohort was trying his best to treat Zachary but the wound was too deep. Zachary’s life was hanging on a thread as he had lost a good amount of blood. Barbas left no stone unturned but Zachary showed no signs of improvement. Delphyne was losing her mind as s
Theodore's P.O.V.BASTARDASSHOLEMOTHERFUCKER.And, and-Fuck, I even fail at cussing him.Oh, how badly, I wanted to snap his neck like a twig and then feast on his blood. I was ready to turn into a cannibal today and why won't I? He snatched every person who was supposed to be mine. From Diana to Jasmine, he's taking everyone whom I had developed feelings for. But to my dismay, I can't do anything but simply watch him throwing shades at me.It's my fault. It's all my fault. Why the hell did I let Jasmine go? I was blinded by my vengeance that I didn't even realize when she became indispensable to me. At least she was by my side with her own will. But no, my madness for Diana blinded me to even glance at her way. I pushed her away from me and today when I want her, she hates me to even come near me.Sighing, I looked at my wife only to see her shedding tears for her new lover. The scene twisted the knife in my already wounded heart.What's so good about him? Can't she see my efforts
