In a world where magic intertwines with reality, a dying human girl named Elara awakens to find herself in a foreign land. The air smells of ancient forests, and the sky is painted with hues she’s never seen before. Before her stands the enigmatic Demon Queen, Seraphina, her eyes as cold as the ice that encases her throne.

Seraphina proposes a desperate bargain: a contractual marriage between them. In exchange for Elara’s hand, Seraphina promises to save the crumbling human kingdom from impending doom. Elara, with nothing left to lose, accepts, thrust into a web of intrigue, danger, and forbidden emotions.

As they embark on their perilous adventure, Elara discovers that Seraphina’s icy demeanor hides a tragic past. The Demon Queen’s power is unmatched, her wrath swift and merciless. Yet, beneath the frost, Elara glimpses vulnerability—a longing for connection that defies her ruthless reputation.

For a moment, I simply watched her, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for her presence in my life. Eventually, the need to prepare for the day stirred me, and I lightly kissed her forehead.

"Time to get up," I whispered, giving her shoulder a gentle shake.

Seraphina stirred, opening her eyes slowly. "Mmm, morning already?"

"Afraid so," I replied with a smile. "We've got a lot to do today."

She stretched languidly, her movements cat-like and graceful. "Alright, let's get started then."

We made our way to the bathhouse once more, the morning light streaming through the windows and casting a warm glow over the marble tiles.
