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.

The Demon Queen's Contract

Seraphina nodded. "Now, about that symbol..."

Cratos sighed and gave us a weary smile. "Alright, I'll take care of it right this moment. Let's see what we're dealing with." He took the parchment with the symbol from my hands and scrutinized it under the flickering candlelight. His eyes narrowed, and he stroked his chin thoughtfully. "This is definitely an ancient language, but it's not one I can decipher on the spot. I'll need some time to study it."

"How long do you think it'll take?" I asked, trying to keep the urgency out of my voice.

Cratos looked up, his expression apologetic. "Give me until tomorrow. Come back in the morning, and I'll have more information for you."

I nodded, feeling a mix of relief and impatience. "Alright. Thank you, Cratos."
