The Demon King's bride
Just so you're Happy

The door of Amor's room slowly opened. Someone entered slowly into the room of the goddess of love. His steps were calm and unhurried. He knew very well, no one would know of his arrival. One approached the bed, where Amor was fast asleep.

For a moment one saw the peaceful face of Amor in his sleep. A line of words came out of the man's lips. "This is the last thing I'm gonna do to make you mine."

That person bent his body, along with that person's lips that cast a heart-controlling spell or more easily we call it a pellet. A small pill floated straight into Amor's chest, right where the woman's heart was.

The man kissed Amor's lips. Long enough, until finally the man went out of Amor's room.

****

Fire was fixated, a rejection he got today. Amor refused to marry her. The man did not expect that Amor would reject his proposal. When the man asked him why, Amor replied that he loved someone else. An answer that makes everyone look at each other. Because they knew there was no love in her heart.

Yue squinted his eyes, looking towards Fire. The man suspects that something is wrong with Amor. "Are you thinking the same thing as me?" Ice and the others nodded.

Someone must have done something to Amor. Amor has no love, he cannot love any man. But the woman suddenly said she loved another man. "Have he ever been here?" Ice asked.

"Where do we know," Wind replied curiously. Last time they saw a Demon was carrying Amor. After that they never saw the demon lord.

Fire herself was clearly in shock with Amor's refusal. The man thought that Amor must have accepted his proposal. His heart was disappointed for sure. "You disappointed?" Yue asked. The man had purposely visited the palace of the fire god.

"There's something strange about him" Fire murmured. "She controlled something or rather someone," in the end Yue told her suspicions. Fire clenched his hands as they had the same opinion about who did it.

"How did he do it?" ask Fire.

"Magic and heart control spells. Amor's heart is empty at this moment. It was easy for him to fill that void," Yue explained.

"You're really looking to die, Demon!" furious Fire.

Fire asks if there is a way to free Amor from the magic. Yue unfortunately shook his head not knowing. The man said he hasn't found out. The two men finally sighed softly together.

Not yet relieved of surprise at the rejection of Fire's application. One word came out from the lips of The Sky, the princess wanted to marry the Demon of the demon world. The news further confirms that Demon is the perpetrator of all this chaos.

"Dad can't refuse it?" pissed Ice.

"Your sister threatened to hurt her if father did not allow her to marry the demon lord" The Sky replied no less regretfully.

Ice punched the empty air before him. "I'll talk to him" the man passed from his father's presence. Walk to my sister's favorite place. His mother's grave, for the man did not find Amor in the garden of the wisteria.

"Why do you want to marry him?" Ice asked without a stale ado.

The sister fell silent. The woman actually did not know how she felt. There's something strange about him. Why on his head only contained the face of that demon king. Amor shook his head to remove the Demon shadow from his brain.

"What are you thinking?" Ice asked while looking at their mother's belly button. Beside him, Amor had breathed a few times. "No idea" Amor answered hesitantly.

The turn of Ice that exhaled his breath was rough. "You know your decision hurt him?" Amor looked at his brother with a pleading gaze. "I can't marry him. I've made a mistake. I killed him, Brother."

"But you also brought him back to life. You bet lives to unite his soul."

"Then you want to marry her, what's your reason?" Ice's chest rumbled, clearly she could not accept that Amor was married to the demon lord.

"At least I never did anything wrong to her. Let's just say I paid the favor. Because he saved my life."

Jeez, why is everything so complicated and long-winded like this. Ice rubbed his face rough. He was not out of thought with Amor who wanted to marry a Demon just because he wanted to return the favor. "You know, I'd rather you marry Fire."

"And you want me to live in the shadow of guilt my whole life is like that?"

"That's not important. The important thing is that Fire loves you. He's not thinking about anything else. He just wants you by his side. That's all." Ice gripped both arms of Amor.

"He loves me too" she said.

"He doesn't love you, he's just obsessed with you. You don't remember him doing anything to get you. Regardless, no matter if it's wrong or right."

Amor looked at the two Ice eyeballs. The goddess clearly remembered how the Demon had to instill half his demon soul into her. Until he ended up having to reincarnate into a human ten times.

Not to mention the other cunning ways that the demon lord did. "That means he's fighting for me, brother." The brother immediately rounded his eyes to hear the words of Amor. "Amor....." Ice almost shouted.

"Then did Fire not fight for you?" ice asked after being silent for some time.

Fire, the fire god was willing to accompany him down to the human world. Undergo ten reincarnations to obliterate the demon soul within him. The man was even willing to die at his hands just because of his stupidity. Amor cried remembering all that. He's at the hardest crossroads of his life.

"Listen to your heart if your heart can still be used. Don't listen to the whispers that go into your ears." Ice said then passed from in front of the sister. Leaving Amor with anxiety filled his heart.

It was late at night, when Amor returned to his pavilion. The steps are gontai, there is no spirit as usual. "You're home?"

Amor immediately raised his face. The woman looked at Fire who was waiting for her in her pavilion courtyard. "I.i.m..."

"I won't be long. I just wanted to make sure that what I heard today was true" the man looked straight at Amor. Truly, Fire could not deny how much love he had for the woman who was now standing frozen before him.

"Fire, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I really....."

"Can you promise me you'll be happy with him?" cut Fire fast. Not noticeably, a clear crystal dripped from the corner of the man's eyes. He was determined to take Amor off as long as the woman was happy with his choice.

"He will be happy with me," a Demon figure appeared beside Amor. Clasped tightly onto the beautiful goddess's hand. A grin appeared on the lips of the Demon. Fire's heartache saw that.

"I will make her my queen and the only one in my palace. You can hold my word." Again the Demon said sure. Meanwhile Amor and Fire could only look at each other. The two souls were as if tormented by their current state. Amor wanted to fight the shackles that bound his heart and mind to the Demon, but could not.

"Well I'm backing out. I hold your word, but if I hear a little you hurt him. I will declare your palace with my phoenix fire" Fire threatened, then passed from before Amor and Demon. His heartache was not ignored.

"Whatever I'll do, as long as you're happy," Inner Fire.
