Important Notes:
Hello guys! I hope you enjoyed 1/4 of the Journey of this Fic that I manage to make so far. Your comments are lovely as ever and it really inspires me to continue writing! Thank you so much for that!
Anyway, before everything, I want to give this notes that might help you understand the story and its plot. For those who are not confused or doesn't have any clarifications then you can skip this note. For those who are a little bit curious then you may continue reading the following notes that I listed below:
*Arthur
Has anyone noticed that Arthur talked differently here than he usually talks? Like he usually say; "Bloody Hell" or "Bloody Wanker", "Git" and things like that in Hetalia? Why didn't I let him talk like that in here? Well, I DID that on purpose because of the setting. The setting that I wrote about him is a Person or rather a Demon living in the year of the 12th century or earlier than that. As what I've read in Johanna Lindsey's novels, she dialogue her characters with an OLD ENGLISH way of talking like; "Good morrow, sir." It's more on formal talking especially to the Nobles. And because of that, I decided to let Arthur to talk like that, considering he is a Noble or a Prince himself. Even if he's from a different world and I don't care either way on the other details.
It's also different when he talks to things like; "Bloody hell" and "Wanker" because the timeline of that kind of conversation starts more likely in the 17th century and so on in England. Well I'm not so sure about that BUT that's what I've noticed in most novels. (Please DO NOT criticize me)
And it's really hard for me to abstain (avoid) that Arthur MAY get to be OOC (Out of Character) because he is a Demon Dragon and a prince at the same time in the story and also the setting. Barbaric society and such but he's different. You'll understand why. (I hope)
*Reader-chan
Reader-chan represents a girl from the Modern world (21st Century) so most likely; I used American English or simply English. Reader-chan's behavior will be based on the usual reaction of most girls if they're on a situation like her. I'm vigilant enough to know that and I'm also a girl so I know. (Don't worry)
The story will be about a girl from a modern world and a Demon in a feudal society living in the world of his kind. That's about it.
Setting
In Arthur's world, a middle age world is what I had in mind. So nobles (Kings, Lords, and Knights) and commoners (workers/serfs, townspeople/villagers) exists with a touch of dragons, magic, Mages and etc...
Remember, Dragon demons ruled the country of Daimon.
It also had a barbaric society so, orgy of killing, raping, and stealing in neighboring people are rampant in here. And it's possible that there's... a rated M scene. But don't worry I'll warn you. Don't get surprised.
That's all I can say. Thank you and happy reading!

Chapter 8
As the full moon watches over the couple, Arthur couldn't help but recall the events in Earth. He heavily sighs as he leans on the strong tree. He then turns his attention towards his supposed to be his destined mate and smiles at her angelic feature. Then he turns his attention on the silvery moon. "Why does it all mean father?" he murmurs.
Flashback
Right as the dragon slayer was going to strike (Name), she laughed maniacally. "THIS IS FOR YOU AZARIAS-SAMA!" she hails.
Flashback ends...
The dragon prince frowns at the remembrance and he pounded the tree. "This is nonsense." he quietly growls-afraid that he will wake (Name). "Why would my own Uncle send a dragon slayer to kill me?" he asked to himself. But then his face grew grim. "He couldn't be after the throne?" he angrily said. His balled tightly, "I'll have to find out." he hisses.
The next morning, (Name) wakes up stiffly. She scowls at the thought that she actually slept outside without any shelter. She then turns to where Arthur but he is nowhere to be seen. 'Where the hell is he?' she stands up and look around where could have been the blasted demon prince.
"Arthur?" she calls.
Suddenly as she is walking towards a path, the thick bushes rustle. This frightens (Name) and quickly turns around towards the bushes. As she is going to scream, Arthur came out of the bushes looking irritated.
"Woman, when I told you to stay put. You stay put!" he scowls at (Name).
'Well aren't we grouchy in the morning' she thought to herself. "Well if you haven't left me alone in the middle of a scary forest I wouldn't have left! I swear you can be a prick!" she fires back. 'What the hell's wrong with him' she crosses her arms to her chest with 'Hmp!'
Arthur takes a calming air and pinches his nose. "Look I am sorry if I upset you. But I got worried when I returned." he gritted.
(Name) then approaches the steaming prince and pokes her slender finger on his chest. "Then you should have left a note. So I would not have wondered off." she stated and then walks away.
Arthur's thick right brow suddenly twitch and right as the human woman turns around he swiftly grasps her slender arm and turn her around. "Look I was worried that you had gotten yourself hurt. So forgive me if I over reacted!" irritably said to (Name).
To (Name)'s surprise, Arthur's cheeks had turned pink after what he said. The dragon prince then caught himself and then he huffed angrily and turns around to hide his flush cheeks.
(Name) sighs defeated, 'This is exhausting.' she went closer to Arthur and pokes his shoulder.
"What!" he bark-still trying to hide his embarrassment- 'I can't believe I am getting work up over this human.' he then look at her deep blue eyes.
"Arthur, I am sorry I worried you okay. So please calm down." she consoles the flustered dragon prince.
Without (Name) anticipating, Arthur carried her bridal style and leaped to the air and spread his dark wings. (Name) let out a screech at Arthur's sudden action.
"Arthur!" she pounded his chest as she struggles against the prince's embrace. Arthur ignored her and speed up through the clear sky.
In the dragon Castle, Azarias smirks at the image of his nephew through the humongous mirror.
"I guess Shiva had failed!" he hisses as he drinks his red liquor. As Azarias continue to spy on the dragon prince and his newly found woman, a figure appear in front of him with an evil smirk painted on his angular face. The figure then bow at the raven haired man as he kept his eyes on the granite floor.
"Avioun..." he waved his hand dismissing his right hand man to stop saluting.
Avioun then raised his head. "Master...I apologize for Shiva's failure." He cowers down like a beaten pup. "I'll send Azura to deal with your nephew." he said hoping that his master will give him another opportunity.
"Fine..." Azarias reply back as he continues to watch his nephew in the mirror.
Avioun raises his head as if life depends on it.
"As you wish, my lord." He hopefully said and bows down gratefully. 'That prince will get it now'
"Will you stop squirming, woman! You're going to fall if you keep going on with this charade!" Arthur barks at (Name) as she continues to beat on his chest.
"NOT UNTIL YOU PUT ME DOWN! I HATE THIS WAY OF FLYING!" she screeches as she continues to pound on the dragon prince's chest.
Arthur growls in frustration towards (Name) as she continues to squirm beneath him. 'Ugh I think that basted seer lied to me! No one can be this weak! I mean it's just flying!' he scowls. "LISTEN!" He yells.
(Name) halted and looked up to Arthur. "What!" she glares at him. 'I can't believe this guy!'
"If I slow down and gently fly will you quiet down? You're going to damage my ears." he gritted.
(Name) huffed and let out a low growl. "Fine!" she glares at him.
The dragon prince relaxes his strong wings as if gliding with the wind and his speed gradually slows down. When (Name) feels that the dragon prince had slow down, her body started to relax and enjoy the wind. She then glanced down at the scenery beneath them and she gasp in awe.
"Pretty..." she said.
"It is." he said as they glided and saw the beautiful scenery of Daimon.
"Azura," he called.
"Yes, my Lord?" a purple mist whirled from behind and then a lady with black hair and enticing armor appeared.
"I want you to go and welcome my nephew. He is coming here with his lady on his arms. Preparations are needed. I expect highly of you, ice Mage. Make sure his existence wanes." he grimly smiled.
"Yes, my lord. You can count on me on that." and with that, she disappears.
Azarias was smiling coldly as he awaited the show from the shadows.
"Arthur, could you please tell me where you taking me?" she annoyingly asked.
"We're going to the castle" he replied.
"Castle? Why are you taking me there?"
"I need to seek business with my Uncle and also my father is-
He sensed an attack approaching. "Watch out!" he dodged the ice crystals that were raining over them.
"Ah!" (Name) panicked and she clangs onto him.
When the attack was over, Arthur stopped to face the attacker.
"What business you bring here, Azura" he growled.
"Well, I am here to behead you, young prince." she giggled evilly.
"Who sends you here?" he barks.
"My, my, aren't you grouchy?" she smiled grimly.
"Arthur, who is she?" she asked worriedly.
"Not now, (Name). I'll explain it to you later. For now, our situation isn't good." he whispered and hugged her protectively.
"Oh, so is she your bride-to-be young prince? She looks rather younger and childish." she commented.
"Who you calling childish, you old hag!" she spats back.
"Old hag? How dare you talk to me like that! Both of you shall die!" she lifted her staff and casted a spell. "Ice magic: Ice glazer!" (A/N: I know its lame but I can't think of any spells.) Large sizes of ice crystals bursts towards the couple.
"(Name), whatever happens hold on to me tight." he whispered and then (Name) nodded. He dodged the attack by flying upwards but the crystals were still following them. Arthur grimace as he flew away from them as far as he can.
"Ha ha, is that the best you can do, Prince? Running away like a coward!" she smirks and then casted another spell to attack them. "Ice magic: Ice blizzard!" she fires.
Dark clouds appeared on the blue skies and rain a powerful snow, making (Name) shiver. "C-Cold,"
"Azura, who sends you here to kill me," he asked angrily.
"Well, my lord Azarias of course. Haven't you figured that out from that dragon slayer, young prince? You're so touchy." she laughed evilly.
"That confirms it." he mumbles. Arthur stopped to his position. As the crystals approaches, he raised his palm and casted a powerful spell. "Fire magic: Burning flames!" he casted and powerful emerald flames flares towards the ice crystals and it started to melt drastically making the ice Mage pissed off.
"How dare you ruin my spell? How about this; Ice magic: Ice gryphon!" she yelled and a huge ice gryphon appeared from the sky.
"Arthur," (Name) cowers.
"Don't be afraid, love. I'll protect you now matter what." he held her tight and then before (Name) could realize that they were standing on a huge circle with oddly marks. Arthur closed his eyes and then mumbled a spell. "Dark Magic: Lightning come fort!" he exclaimed. A huge thunder bolt strikes down from the sky and it thump the ice gryphon directly and it shattered into pieces.
"NO!" the ice mage was attached at the impact and her body was cut by ice crystals. She landed on a cliff and she knelt down on her knees as the pain on her body clings. Arthur flew towards her and glared at her coldly. "T-This isn't… over, dragon!" she managed to spat.
"I hope it does, for you. You're a fool to challenge me, ice mage. I'm sure my Uncle isn't enjoying the show." he glared at his surroundings.
"A-Azarias," she gasped. She lowered her head and then purple mist surrounded her. "We'll meet again." she grimaced and then disappeared.
Arthur then flew away without another word. (Name) was watching him and it seems he was upset. (Name) lowered her head as they flew away.
Meanwhile, Azarias broke his glass as he gripped it tightly. He scowled at the mirror as he watched his nephew flew away and then the mirror lost visuals. He grimace and then smirked. "He's getting a lot stronger now." he mumbled.
Silence was in the atmosphere as they changed direction and went towards the forest. They landed deep part of the forest with a lake beside it. It was still day time and the water of the lake was still freshly blue. They went to a shade of the trees and they sat on the grass. It was a lovely day and a beautiful place but not for Arthur's gloomy mood. He remained silent.
(Name), on the other hand, became worried about him. She still can't understand what was this all about but she knew that he was upset. She frowns at the sight so she called.
"Arthur,"
"I'm not in the mood to talk right now, woman." he said rather coldly making (Name) to back off a little. But she was just too stubborn on this kind of situation. She can be at least to be nice to him. So, she went in front of him and gave him a reassuring hug.
Arthur's eyes widened by her affection that he also returned the hug. He rested his head on her chest and (Name) brush her hand on his soft blonde hair.
"Care to share?" she comforted the demon.
Arthur softened his eyes on her as they started to gaze at each other. He looked at her soft and beautiful eyes, so heartwarming and relaxing. He drew her forward for her to rest on him as he lean on a strong tree.
She can't complain right now. All she wanted for now is to cheer him up and console him with his worries. She rested her head on his chest and with temptation, she snuggled into his neck. Just to make him more relaxed. Arthur groaned at the touch and he leaned to whisper
"Are you inviting for my touch?" he smiled.
"Don't be stupid. Of course not, I'm just helping you to feel relax. It looked like you've been into a rough day and it's not even noon yet." she closed her eyes to feel herself relax on him.
"Yeah… I'm a bit crooked of trouble here. It really is wearing." he exhales.
"Can you explain everything to me now?" she asked.
"Well, at least it releases my burden a little." he inhaled and then exhales heavily. "Before that, I'll let you know that I'm actually… a dragon demon and I'm the prince of this world."
"I can see that. Considering they've been addressing you that." she said a little bit sarcastically.
"You really are vigilant, for a human." he commented.
"I'll take that as a compliment." she smiled and Arthur chuckled.
"Right, so where do I start?" he asked.
"Start from the beginning of the problem."
"Okay then." he looked blankly at the sky and then he began.
After which, he explained everything to (Name) and it made her stiff on the information she collected.
"So let me get this straight, your Uncle, Azarias, wants you dead because he wants to get his hands on your father's position as King and you're destined to ascend the throne? And before you do that, you needed a queen to rule the kingdom with you, correct?" she clarifies.
"You are correct, lady."
"W-wait, I'm not understanding on why I'm involved to this." she rubbed her temples.
"Because the necklace you're wearing now is the evidence given by the oracle of truth that if it glows, it means you are my fated bride to be."
"You mean this stupid necklace says so? How ridiculous!" she stood up and angrily walks away from him.
"Ridiculous?" he followed her up.
"I came all this trouble because of this stupid necklace?" she gripped the object tightly. She was about to remove it but Arthur took her arm.
"Don't you remove it!" he said sternly.
"Don't touch me!" she shot.
"Do you want to be seen by other demons? Do you want to harm yourself?" he shot back making (Name) stiff.
"Take me home." she demanded.
"No," he replied.
"Take me home!"
"No,"
"Damn it, Arthur! Can't you see I don't want to be here?"
"No, and I can't see why not."
(Name) was getting pissed off by this. She tugged her hand away from him and she walked away. "If you can't take me home then I'll find my own way." she said.
"I won't let you." he grabbed her again and this time he hugged her.
"Let go off me, you monster! Can't you see I don't love you?" she annoyingly said.
"What is this "Love" are you talking about, woman?" he finally said it with an angry tone. (Name) tilted and then she lowered her head.
"Love is…" she stopped and bends her head down. "…is a special emotion when you care about someone…" she paused. "You wouldn't understand it." She mumbles and squirmed.
Arthur tightens his grip on (Name) while she continued to squirm away from him. She continued to squirm and squirm until she has no strength left. His grip was too strong. She panted and then suddenly he spun her to face him. He knelt down and took her right hand to kiss it. "(Name), I may not understand what "Love" means but please, teach me how to love." he begged.
(Name) turned away from his gaze. "No, Arthur. Can't you see we're not meant to be? We're two different beings from different worlds. I don't belong here. It scares me. Please understand that." she said weakly.
"I'll protect you, (Name). No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side." he stood up and nuzzled her neck. (Name) threw that chance as she steps away from him.
"No don't. I'm sorry Arthur but it's not right." she looked away.
Arthur wasn't going to give up just yet but he was getting frustrated by this woman. He was now boiling out of patience so he grabbed her by her waist and lifted her up to his shoulder and walked. (Name) blush and she started to pound his back. "Where are you taking me?"
"I'm feeding you to the beasts."
