"What are we fighting for?" 

Iris was the name of the Underworld's first demon queen. For thousands of years, she reigned over the demons and fought countless wars against the Holy Palace, defending her homeland. No matter how many lives were sacrificed, the war never ended. 

Tired, she challenged the strongest Paladin to a deathmatch. On that fateful day, she used up all her magic to seal the two of them inside an unbreakable crystal, and cast a spell of eternal rest. 

When she woke up, she was no longer Iris. She had possessed the body of Serenia Aubellin, the newly elected Saintess.

"Have you ever heard of a marriage so grand that the entire world was united?"

The Saintess Wants Marriage!

"You're finally here, Saintess." The Duke closed his book and placed it back in the bookshelf.

His sharp eyes scanned Serenia's facial expression, trying to draw out any reaction out of her.

It was weird. If it was the regular Serenia, by this time.. she would've jumped at him and tried to get all touchy feely with him. However, not only was this woman totally composed, she also seemed to.. despise him?

Serenia sat down and gestured for Alia to serve her a cup of tea, as well as to refill the Duke's long finished cup. A gentle smell of chamomile wafted through the air.

"Well, yes. I hope you have spent your time well in my abode. Although, I don't recall you ever announcing your arrival here?" Serenia held her head up high. "I thought that for someone of your caliber, you would at least uphold proper customs. Your actions.. can I take it as you blatantly trying to disrespect me?"

I'll Stay Strong!
