Hey Guys! Back her with a new fanfiction in a brand new fandom actually. This story is a fanfic for the Chinese comic, My Wife is a Demon Queen. I think this may be the first fanfic that exists in this fandom on this website, and may the first fanfic ever written for this fandom lol. Wouldn't that be cool. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy!
Isabella knew that she should have listened to Xiang Ye. As the final war was starting with Xiang Ye and Sophisas' group against the Regent and Lilians forces, Xiang Ye warned her not to let her emotions get to her and jump into battle alone. However, once she was able to sense where Lilian was, she sprinted off in that direction, leaving everyone else behind and going deep behind enemy lines.
She had managed to defeat Lilian, but the fight depleted much of her boundary force, leaving her in a weakened state. And it was just her luck that the Regent was nearby as soon as she got done with Lilian, so he took ahold of this opportunity and attacked her. Eventually she was defeated, which brings her to her current state, locked up in the dungeon below the castle, restrained by some sort of handcuffs that prevented her boundary force from regenerating. The Regent tilted her chin up with his hand, forcing her to make eye contact with him, and said:
"It's a shame I'm going to have to execute someone as pretty as you in front of all the citizens once this war is over."
She flicked her jaw away from his hand, not wanting to give him the sense that he had any control over her, despite her situation. She replied
"Xiang Ye will come and save me. I know he will."
"Oh, you mean that human you've been hanging out with all this time? Last I heard, you despised all humans."
"Well he's different. He's opened my eyes and shown me that there are actually a lot of good humans, and only some that are scum like you."
The regent laughed at that insult, not really caring how he was perceived by a member of the demon tribe.
"Well I'm not scared of this Xiang Ye. My men have probably already killed him but in the off chance they haven't I'll make sure to finish the job. And after that I'll finish you off execution style."
And with this, the Regent locked her cell door and headed up the stairs out of the dungeon, leaving Isabella to her own thoughts.
After two days, Isabella was still locked up, the cuffs she had were doing a real good job of keeping her restrained and preventing any of her power from returning. A few times she tried to break the cuffs with sheer strength, but she soon found out that she was in no state to do that. She was hungry, thirsty, and powerless. She hated being at the mercy of others like this, unable to use her own strength to get the outcome she wanted. Her thoughts drifted to Xiang Ye. Was he ok? Was he alive? Is he coming for me? Were all thoughts that crossed her mind. She really should have listened to him, he always suggested things that were in her best interest even from the very beginning. A few tears escaped from her eyes once she realized she would never be able to tell Xiang Ye what she really felt about him.
All of the sudden, Isabella heard the door to the dungeon open, and immediately her ears perked up. She shook away the tears from her face, not wanting to let an enemy see the satisfaction of her weakness. However, something seemed off to her. She heard the door open, but it wasn't the Regent's powerful footsteps that she remembered. Instead it was softer footsteps, seemingly struggling to get down the stairs.
Eventually, she was able to see a silhouette and instantly knew who it was, tears forming at the corners of her eyes for another reason.
"Xiang Ye!" She called out to him.
She could see him walking towards her cell, with a heavy limp in his step, and numerous cuts across his whole body. It was clear that the fight the past two days was an intense one, if he had sustained that much damage under his armor. When he got to her cell, he said with a smile
"Sorry it took me so long Yi Bei. But I… beat the Regent."
It was clear to her that Xiang Ye was struggling to get the words out, clearly spent from having fought the last two days. She wore a concerned look on her face and replied.
"Don't speak! You are clearly in no shape too. Let's get out of here and then you can tell me everything."
"Hah, I see your queen personality hasn't changed despite the circumstances, still ordering me around as usual." He chuckled
"I- I'm just concerned for your safety is all."
"I know. I'm going to forge a key to get the lock off, so give me a minute."
Xiang Ye took out his pen and went to go forge a key, and it was then that Isabella fully knew the struggle he had been through. He had failed to forge his first couple of attempts which she had never seen before, and only after a few more tries was he able to forge a key good enough to unlock the door.
"I can tell you're seriously hurt. I have never seen you fail a forge before. You should have gotten some of your strength back before coming for me."
"And let the enemies get you in the meantime while you are defenseless? I don't think so. Besides, there won't be any long term effects, it's just harder to forge right now since I've been doing it for two days straight."
"Two days straight?! How much fighting have you done?"
"A lot, I've had to do many more forgings than I originally thought in order to keep our people alive. They're all safe though which is what matters."
After several more forging attempts due to the complexing of Isabella's cuffs, Xiang Ye finally had a key to bust her loose. Once her hands were free, he handed her his water and immediately she gulped it down completely, glad to finally get some hydration back. Xiang Ye reached out his hand to her and asked
"Can you stand?"
She grabbed his hand and uneasily stood, before her knees quickly gave out on her. Luckily, Xiang Ye caught her mid fall, preventing a collision with the ground
"Here, hop on my back." Xiang Ye offered
"are you sure? You're still injured."
"I'll be fine. Besides, right now walking is our only way to get back to base camp. I'm not in any state to forge a vehicle to get us there quicker, and I'd like to get you to safety asap."
"Ok, just don't push yourself."
And with that, Isabella hopped on Xiang Ye's back piggy back style, and with much effort he was able to safely carry Isabella back to the medical building they had at their base camp, where upon entering the front doors he passed out from exhaustion.
Xiang Ye's eyes fluttered open slowly, and he realized he was in one of the rooms for injured patients during the war. He went to move but he felt a weight at the side of his bed. There he saw Yi Bei asleep at his bedside, seemingly watching guard over him. He took one of his hands and ran it through her hair, and slowly her eyes fluttered open and she awoke as well.
"Hey sleepyhead." He teased
"You're the sleepyhead." She remarked "You've been asleep for three entire days."
"Three days! What's going on with the war? I've got to go out there and help them."
As he was trying to get up Yi Bei pushed him back down onto the bed and said
"You can rest now. The war has already been won, mostly due to your efforts."
"Ah that's a relief. I thought you were keeping guard over me."
"No I just… wanted to be the first one to see you once you woke up is all."
"That means a lot coming from the queen." Xiang Ye semi joked
"There are a lot of things I've been wanting to say to you, Xiang Ye."
And with this Isabella approached the bed and got up on it and straddled Xiang Ye, but carefully since he was still healing. She reached out her hand and tilted his chin up and placed her lips on his, in a kiss that conveyed the passion she had bottled away for some time now. He kissed her back just as passionately, blushing at the boldness from the queen. Once they separated, she said
"I may be the queen, but you're my hero. For as long as we live I will be in debt to you for saving me, and I just wanted to thank you for always being there for me and supporting me."
"Well, you're welcome Yi Bei. I would do anything for you. Also, When did you turn into your demon queen form?"
"Oh, I didn't even realize. I guess I reverted to my natural form with all this built up passion."
"Sounds like the queen wants me."
"I-in your dreams!" she responded out of habit "If anything its you who wants me!"
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. I do have one more thing I wanted to say."
"And what's that?" she responded looking at him curiously
"I love you."
Isabelal immediately jumped away from him blushing, not expecting him to say something like that just now. She had been hoping for it, but it didn't make her ready for it. Once she composed herself, she replied.
"I- I love you too. I also would like you to call me by my given name Isabella from now on."
"Sounds good, Isabella." and this time Xiang Ye initiated a kiss, which she happily returned to her lover.
All of the sudden, out of nowhere the door to Xiang Ye's hospital room opened and in came Modo with what appeared to be some urgent news
"Xiang Ye! I've got some big news for yo- wait, who's the hot demon that you're making out with?!"
Xiang Ye and Isabella both looked at Modo, Isabella with an indifferent look on her face and Xiang Ye with a grin, knowing no matter what he said was going to make Modo go bonkers.
"Oh this is Isabella. You knew her as Yi Bei, but she is actually queen of the demon tribe, and part of this war was reclaiming her rightful position as their ruler."
Modo was in disbelief even after hearing this, but understood once Isabella went back to her human form.
"Xiang Ye, you lucky guy. Sorry for interrupting you, I'll find you at a better time" Was all he could say as he headed out the door.
Soon after Modo left, Xiang Ye and Isabella went out to address the human tribe, where Xiang Ye revealed to everyone Isabella's identity and that she could be trusted. Xiang Ye was crowned as the new ruler of the tribe, and Isabella would be helping him rule as his wife. Similarly, Isabella addressed the demon tribe as their reinstated ruler, and announced Xiang Ye as her husband and someone who would help her rule.
"I'm excited to finally show you around the demon tribe territory. There's so much to see, from the gardens, to the castle, my personal chambers…"
"Are you implying something?" Xiang Ye asked knowingly
"Well, we are husband and wife after all."
And that day, three days after the great war, was the first real night Xiang Ye spent with the demon queen.
Well how'd you guys like it? That second half of the story was pretty spicy lol. If I have more ideas I may write more fanfics on this series in the future.
Until next time,
