7 You are marrying...

"Okay. When are we going?" Raven ask and Kancial move to the window and open it.

"Now, of course"

"Wait... What if they come looking fo me? You know my mother ask me to be there in ten minutes"

Kancial thought for a second.

"We will wait for you until you come back"

"What if a maid or my mum comes to check my stuff?"

"We'll fly out through the window"

Oh yeah. She almost forgot that there's a window in the room and they got wings.

She nods at their sensitivity and took a deep breath.

Holding the handle of the door, she sighed and opened it.

Raven turn to look back at her newly made friends and the both of them that are funny nodded with encouragement.

Kancial just stared out the window as the cold breeze blew across his hair, a thoughtful scene.

He gets her think, even if it's just some minutes ago that they met.

Raven close the door and breathed in deeply.

Marriage huh? Here I come!

She walks steeply to the throne room in full belief that if they force the marriage thingy on her, she will definitely go with those...

Angels.

Now, let's see what those men in the sitting room are planning for her.

The door leading to the caved out throne room split open and in comes Raven and two other Demons behind her. The two demons are flying while she is walking.

And walking cautiously.

"Oh God... This is going to be hard." she thought to herself.

"Good day Father, Demons of the land" she greets with a portrait.

The Demon with the red eyes smiled. He has already started feeling some signs of interest in him towards this young white winged demon fellow.

"Good day, Princess" the gentle Demons chorused and Raven nods slightly.

Oh God, this is awkward.

"Raven, I have summoned you here to-"

"I think we can handle this, Xuvicer" the man that looks more fresher and gentle than the others seated, interrupted Xuvicer with no shame of calling him by his name.

No prominent Demon have ever done that except the devil and here is he... Calling the head of the Demons by name.

"Young Princess... " he calls and Raven bites her lip inside with fear.

"We are the Demons assisting your father in and we have come to ask for your hand in marriage"

If demons do marry, what of Angels?

That's quite an odd question to ask.

Raven says nothing but stare at them with no expression of surprise or anything coming up on her face.

She looks at her father and he raise his head slightly.

No need to ask what that is all about because it signifies:

"GET A HUSBAND OR I GET HIM FOR YOU!"

That's what it means.

Raven's silence keeps them staring at her impatiently waiting for her response.

"I am not ready"

All their eyes narrows at her and the red eyed Demon, that is the demon of seduction, smiled seductively.

Xuvicer says nothing but stare at her, following the others in suite.

"Now dear, you're due for marriage and the procreation of children is what you're looking like right now. Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?"

The Demon's eyes are tempting. But Raven's decision still stands.

She can never become a prey to agree to the proposal of these demons, it just can't happen!

Raven bites her lips and shakes her head as the decision makes its way out of her mouth again.

"I... "

"You will marry one of these Demons, Raven. Choose, or I choose for you"

Raven's eyes burns with hatred as those words escaped her father's lips.

He can't force a Demon girl to marry a Demon man just because he wants grandchildren! Or does she looks seductive?!

This is going too far! Too far, I say!

"I will not marry any of these Demons" Raven say with boldness and anger.

Xuvicer raise his head up slightly in pride.

"And there is nothing you can do about it. No one forced mother to marry you, no one will force me to marry anyone!" she says and the Demons smile amd nods in impression.

They are certainly impressed by her boldness, braveness and confidence that she won't be forced to marry anyone.

But the question is...

Is that possible?

Loy stares at her and she pretends not to notice him and stare at the other Demons. He also don't have any intention to marry this Demon, so he don't mind.

He prays in his heart that her Father should listen to her and not force her into a marriage she's going to regret.

Xuvicer stares at his daughter and the hall is filled with silence.

The heart of each Demon seated is beating rapidly and they are all closing and inhaling deeply.

But all this stops when Xuvicer opens his mouth to speak.

"You are marrying Gardo. Get prepared. The marriage is in six days time"

Loy and the other Demons that remained silent stared at Xuvicer in shock.

Gardo is the red eyed handsome and seductive Demon that asked if she would change her mind.

Raven says nothing but also stare in shock.

The same question spinning through the minds of everyone seated except for Xuvicer and the chosen Demon.

'Hasn't he and Loy's father arranged that they would be wedded when the time's due?'

Raven starts to regret why she didn't choose Loy. But her regrets immediately turn into normality the moment she remember those Angels in her room.

Raven says nothing to her Father because he will never see her again, once she gets back to that room.

Because wherever those Angels are taking her to, she have a feeling that it is indeed far from here. So they'll take it that she ran away.

Maybe in the place she's headed to, she'll get a real husband from there.

She chuckles frowning and without a word said, she flapped her wings and with the Greta amount of dust and smoke that rose from the ground, she flew out of the caved out throne room.

Gardo, however, stare at her beautiful white wings.

He don't want to marry this Princess just because of her wings or the throne or anything.

He wants to marry her because he is feeling his needs from a white winged demon arise. His needs are not satisfied and that isn't so good because he can take any female Demon to satisfy it for him, if care isn't taken.

But all the black winged demons have done their parts, remain the whites.

Xuvicer struggled inside when the name of Gardo comes out of his mouth. He just wants to see the Royal Blood multiply because only one child came from his lineage.

Now, he needs more.

Loy however starts to rethink about this decision made by both Xuvicer and himself.

Immediately Gardo's name came out from Xuvicer's mouth, he felt a certain anger and jealousy rise in him.

Seeing her fly away in anger also made him angry and happy at the same time.

Angry that Xuvicer is forcing it in her and happy that she don't want to marry Gardo.

Just a moment ago, he don't want to marry her and the next he feels heartbroken not being chosen by her father? What is all this about?

All the Demons glares at both Xuvicer and the smiling Gardo.

That smile of his, has started a serious war amongst them and he don't even know.
