last update publish date: 2026-05-29 12:20:14

That morning, the sky hung heavy and overcast, as if nature itself mourned the fire at the East Palace that had killed several guards and the Queen Mother’s most trusted maids. Even though King Arsen and the others suspected it was the start of a clan rebellion, they couldn’t afford to act recklessly.

“This can’t be happening. This isn’t possible,” Kalina gasped, pressing her fingers to her temple as a sudden, throbbing pain pulsed through her head.

Kalina was stunned. The Queen Mother’s palace

  • Isekai and Becoming a Demon Bride   42. Resealing the Remnants of Black Smoke

    A man’s silhouette stood clearly in front of the window, drawing wary looks from Anantari and Elard. Who was this person in their room, and how did he get in especially since the room was on the second floor? Could he have jumped that high? No ordinary human could manage it. The oppressive, chilling aura around him was just as strong, pushing the black smoke away as if oil refused to mix with water. Anyone who could counter the force of that smoke had to be Elard’s equal or even stronger.The soft scuff of slippers stepping on shattered glass added to the drama as moonlight poured through the broken window, unfiltered. Anantari and Elard stared in shock and suspicion at the intruder. Mother and son couldn’t even touch, Anantari was in a fragile, disembodied state, her spirit floating unseen.“Why do I have to witness this like this?” Anantari muttered through gritted teeth.The man reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small, dragon-engraved bottle. He began chanting an incant

  • Isekai and Becoming a Demon Bride   41. The Black Aura Escapes the Seal

    Mrs. Anantari had been moved to the guest room. Her body was drenched in sweat, her face pale. Mrs. Abraham kept wiping her forehead, feeling uneasy and anxious, it was only natural. Anantari was an honored guest at Lord Abraham’s home, and in this modern age, things related to the unseen weighed heavily on Mrs. Abraham, who had a special kind of sight. Meeting Lord Abraham had been a joy. They were on the same wavelength, even though he called it being fated partners. They’d gotten through many strange events that drained their minds and energy. They even had a brilliant son studying abroad.“Please wake up, Anantari. Don’t make us worry.” Mrs. Abraham truly wanted the woman she’d started to think of as a friend to open her eyes soon.***In her subconscious, Mrs. Anantari was pulled into a long dream after hearing the news that Kalina, her future daughter-in-law. Had returned to the modern world. Mrs. Anantari stood in a place filled with white, with no exit no matter which way she

  • Isekai and Becoming a Demon Bride   40. Anantari, Beast Form

    Modern eraFrom inside came a high-pitched screech and chaotic noise that made her skin crawl. Worry showed on Abraham’s face. He’d seen invisible things before, but he’d never faced something like this. His ancestors and family had told him to guard the basement because bad things would happen if they let their guard down. The binding and sealing magic was always renewed every fifty years.“What went wrong? The seal and binding aren’t due for another thirty years. Twenty years ago, my late father and I renewed the seal here.” Lord Abraham ran his hand over the door. He could feel the thick aura of pure hatred.“I’m curious about one thing. Was magic passed down to every member of the Abraham family by your ancestors?”“No ... unless we find our destined partner to be our ‘eyes.’”“What do you mean?”“A person with a special ability to see the future. That magical power awakens when we come into contact with our fated partner.”In her beast form, Anantari circled Abraham. “You know, A

    In another dimension.Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Nigella, a heated meeting was underway. News of the rebellion had reached the elders. Now the clan heads, the royal elders, and the leaders of each race were all arguing. King Arsen watched as the girl named Sekar walked into the room and took a seat in the row with the clan representatives. Lord Alex, who was seeing Sekar for the first time, was stunned. He knew from his spies that the Aurora Bride had vanished, so how was there a girl with Kalina’s face? Alex glanced at Lord Abraham. The man just shrugged, showing he didn’t want to get involved.'You think I’m going to stay quiet after your betrayal? Not a chance!' Abraham’s mind churned. He let Alex and his daughter Zemira stay confused, and didn’t care about it at all.'Does Father suspect something?' Zemira wondered, watching Alex. It was as if their eyes alone kept them connected.Sensing something off, both Zemira and Lord Alex slipped out of the room before the meeting started

  • Isekai and Becoming a Demon Bride   38. Lord Abraham’s Castle

    Present day.A beautiful woman stood in the library of an ancient castle that had been preserved to this day. She was accompanied by a middle-aged man and his wife. They were talking in serious tones. The library was like an ocean of books, row after row of shelves packed full and reaching almost to the ceiling. The clean marble floor and dust-free books showed how well the place was maintained.“I love this place. It’s incredible, and so spotless,” said the woman with long, flowing hair, her voice smooth and melodic.“Mrs. Anantari is too kind,” replied the other woman, who then sat in the wooden chair across from her.Anantari smiled and turned back to the book she’d picked up.“I was very surprised when Mrs. Anantari told me about the pendant left by your friend,” the man’s voice came this time.Both elegant women turned toward the sound. The man, still handsome despite a few strands of gray in his hair, approached carrying a tray with drinks and snacks.“The pendant is drawn in on

    “Gather the elders and the leaders of each race. Also summon the girl named Sekar!” King Arsen said, turning on his heel.He rubbed his throbbing temples and strode out of the room on long legs, leaving his three friends in stunned silence.They tried to put themselves in King Arsen’s place. A truly impossible situation to endure, wasn’t it? Anantari glanced at the two men, who looked just as bewildered.“I’m going to find Sekar.”Gavin shot Anantari a sharp look as she kept her head down. “What exactly are you planning to do?”“Gavin, I know this isn’t right, and I can’t bear to see Kalina suffer. But what if fate brought Kalina here for a reason? Don’t you think there are still so many mysteries about Nigella that haven’t been revealed? It’s like our lives are being controlled by something. Aren’t you suspicious that the elders are hiding something?”“Suspicious? I’m more suspicious than you know. But what can we do?” Lamont spoke up. “We’re always being controlled, used as tools of

    Stay overnight? No way. Kalina preferred for Elard to take her back to his place. They took the secret path that Kalina and Anantari had used that morning, while Anantari chose the main road to avoid anything else suspicious. Elard carried Kalina bridal-style, leaping quickly and occasionally sprin

    It was almost midnight when they finally gathered on the hill behind the palace, under the bright moonlight. To be sure of her own feelings, Kalina had asked Anantari to bring Sekar to meet at Nigella Palace’s back hill. For a split second, Kalina watched Gavin. She couldn’t explain the strange fee

    Kalina and Gavin climbed the steps and stepped into a room bursting with color and gold ornamentation.“Welcome.” King Arsen, already seated with Anantari and Lamont, greeted them.Kalina and Gavin bowed, pressing their right hands to their chests. “We pay our respects, Your Majesty.”“Oh, why are

    “Say it, Kalina!” Gavin’s voice broke the silence that had hung for several moments.“Where can we find details about Nigella Kingdom’s history or past?”“The Palace Library,” Elard answered. “There are a lot of important books there, only—”“That place isn’t open to just anyone,” Gavin cut in. “On
