A demonic knight in shining armor or a mysterious but lovable palace guard? This was the dilemma Sage, the handmaid to the princess of Aeradon was stuck in.

While the former loathed her despite she having feelings for him, the latter was in love with her, but Sage didn't reciprocate his love. 

In a sudden attack on their kingdom, the Princess was captured and in an attempt to rescue her, alongside both men, Sage fell in their clutches too and was taken to another kingdom. 

However, she found favor in the sight of the king and seized it as an opportunity to uncover the reason behind their kidnapper and sudden attack.

But amidst all these, both knight and guard clashed in a battle to win her heart, which took an unexpected turn and led to the revelation of astonishing secrets.

Now the question remains, will she let the handsome knight emerge victorious in the battle for her love, or give room for the palace guard to secure her heart?

I WANT THE DEVIL NOT THE VAMPIRE

A month later, I told the knights that I had made my choice, to return to Aeradon and become a knight to which they agreed without hesitation, for a hidden village I wondered why they even had knights.

My uncle reminded me of the warning over a hundred times before I left, going out the gate, I breathed in the fresh air of the real human world after eleven years, I had nothing but a horse and my clothes as I traveled back to Aeradon.

On my way, I tried to imagine what Aeradon would look like. I was nine when I saw it last so I still had a few memories of the place, but I wondered how much change had occurred.

I got to Aeradon and it was not the same Kingdom that I left eleven years ago, first of all, I noticed that there was no one in the street, everywhere was quiet and I wondered if the war wiped out the entire kingdom and it had remained deserted for so long.

"Aren't you going to watch the battle of the knights?" The voice of a young man startled me.
