Angel thought the world would be hers to explore when she turned twenty.  She can finally be free from the gilded cage her overprotective father built for her.

But she was mistaken! Her 20th birthday marked the day she lost everything, including the freedom she so desperately craved. It was the day she fell into the hands of her father's enemy, to atone for his sins.

Leoric has meticulously planned his revenge for many years.  When that day came, he thought he had everything under control.  The man who killed his father was behind bars, and the empire he painstakingly built fell into his hands ... including his only daughter.

He planned to force his new bride to entertain his friends on their wedding night.  That should force her to a status lower than an escort, which should humiliate her and shame her father.  That should usher her into hell.

His perfect plan of revenge was ruined by a mysterious mishap. They found themselves stranded in a desert in an unfamiliar world after their yacht was sucked into a vortex.

Later, they discovered that they were in a parallel universe ruled by dark forces. The only way to return is to offer a tribute to the country's supreme leader—a virgin bride!

Where would they get a virgin?  Wait, isn't Angel a virgin?

As Leoric and his companions traveled across the treacherous landscapes of the enigmatic Astralis, he found himself falling for his wife, who seemed to have transformed after falling into the sea on their wedding night.

On a starry night on top of the peak of Mount Anabu, Leoric gazed tenderly at his wife, who looked ethereal, radiated a mystical aura, and whispered...  

"To hell with the supreme leader and going back.  You can only be mine!  Let us rule Astralis!"

The Tribute Bride

Prince Yael turned to his warriors, his voice firm. "Fasten the iron carriages to the horses. We leave at once."

The men obeyed without hesitation, securing thick leather straps to the unfamiliar structures.

"Prince Yael, those horses won't be able to pull those carriages. There's no need to tie them," Angel interjected, her voice calm and serene. "Those things don't need horses." She repeated.

The prince's brow furrowed. "What do you mean, Raya?" he asked in a very respectful tone.

Without answering, Angel gestured toward the vehicles. Prince Yael strode forward, running his fingers along the cold metal. The structure was unlike anything he had seen before—sleek, solid, and humming with an almost imperceptible energy.

'What kind of carriage is this?' he asked silently.

Angel stood beside Gavin and Leoric. Mario and Captain Niel squeezed beside her as they wanted to ask her questions.
