Blind Love 4
Aria: a serene place where the people within the kingdom walls live in harmony and peace.
Although this kingdom would be considered as a shining example of a utopian society, there are those outside the walls who thirst for hunger, power, and worst of all; lust.
Kneeling at the foot of Princess Reitana's throne, her older brother Prince Ryun prayed to the heavens as he cried for the safe return of his beloved younger sister. He should have been there watching her in the fields instead of sending his guards – who proved to be incompetent against the band of thieves – to keep an eye on her.
Suddenly, a royal guard came rushing in through the grand throne room doors, a scared expression on his face.
"Sire, To-Yan is here! He's making his way to the throne room with a few of his men behind him."
Ryun almost paled upon hearing the name To-Yan.
To-Yan was a well-known demon warlord with ruthless tendencies. Every village, city, and kingdom he travelled to, To-Yan and his men would leave it in nothing more than ruins. The only reason Aria's walls remained was because of Princess Reitana. To-Yan had wanted her for himself, and had a written agreement with Ryun that Reitana's hand would be his by her eighteenth birthday or the kingdom of Aria would fall.
…
Navy blue locks the length of his back fluttered behind the warlord To-Yan as he made his way toward the royal estate. With his army marching close behind him, To-Yan's fire red eyes were fixated on his intended's home. By now, the man had assumed that Prince Ryun had gotten word of his arrival. He would hope that Reitana was ready to depart from this wretched town she called 'home.'
The royal guards standing at attention made sure that To-Yan and a few of his accompanying soldiers were escorted into the main throne room where Ryun stood with a strong, yet concerned look on his face. Seeing this, To-Yan raised a thick blue brow in confusion, though his expression was stern.
"Is my bride ready?" He asked Ryun, a deep, regal tone in his voice.
Ryun sighed, shook his head and bowed in respect to the mighty demon.
"No… My sister… She is not here."
