Excerpt-

“If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred.

“If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. 

He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.”

She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?”

“Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.”

Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment,  blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. 

“You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. 

He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.”

She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?”

“Guess?”

The Devil's Betrothed

Oriana didn't doubt Yorian's lie even a bit and asked, "But His Highness, he…"

"King Drayce has taken care of it. He told Prince Arlan that you will stay here for a few days to look after Queen Seren. Prince Arlan never says 'no' to his friend. You have seen the kind of friendship they have."

Oriana let out a sigh of relief. She could not thank them enough for all their help. If her secret was leaked last night, she didn't know what could have happened to her. The prince she serves would definitely punish her, harshly at that, for her deception.

"Thank you so much for helping me and taking care of me, my lord."

"It's not a big deal," Yorian said, a kind smile hanging on his lips as he observed her.

Oriana felt a little awkward to be stared at so intently. "Is there a problem, Lord Yorian?"

"You are a beautiful woman, Oriana. It's a pity that you have to disguise yourself as a man and make this world have one less beauty in it."
