There was war in hell. The flames of hell turned against itself and the demons tore each other apart. It was a terror to behold; one that the devil himself could not escape. Every other terrestrial being was against him, trying to take his power and throne.
Knowing that he wouldn’t survive it, Lucifer fled from hell into the earth feeling regretful. His fall came from a woman whom he thought he had grown to love. But at that point, it all didn’t matter….he needed someone to will his power to…it was much better than leaving it in the possession of those demons. And while he was running out of time, he immediately gave it all to a prince in his mother’s womb before he vanished into eternity
The prince; Francis was born and he grew just as powerful and as fierce as the devil himself. He was a devil, but he ruled on earth…unstoppable and strong willed. He was hardly referred to by his name and was mostly called the devil, right from when he was a child after a powerful seer revealed the reason behind his power.
But even though Francis had all the power he wanted and would ever need, he had one restriction. To keep history from repeating itself, he was given just one rule, never to love a woman.

But on the far side; in a village, lonely princess lived with no hopes of survival even though her father, the king was still alive. But it wasn’t much of a surprise since the royal family itself was the reason behind the princess’s tight chances of living. Even her mother the queen couldn’t save her because she was very much afraid of her husband, the king and his second wife who bore him sons.
They lived their lives in fear, not until one day, the queen was about to take her last breathe. She was poisoned by the king’s wicked wife. But before she died, she had just one wish: that her daughter Aurora avenges her death and take over the village by attaining a level of power and authority that could only come through one means….and it is to “Marry the devil” the strongest, ruthless, merciless and powerful king that lived.
She knew she needed him to love her if she ever wanted to access his powers and make him revenge for her.
And so, Princess Aurora was set on a journey to marry the devil who was warned to never love a woman.

What happens when the devil falls in love?
Would he receive the same fate as the previous Devil?
Or will love change his fate?

Will Aurora's determination lead her to a world of power, love and strength?
Or will the devil's fate cause her a life time of peril and pain?

Marry The Devil

The moment Mala heard those words, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her, heading towards the burial grounds.

Francis' eyes flashed with anger as he glared at Queen Venessa and Mala's father, standing with their sons with no regrets in their eyes.

"Your highness, please….I can explain," Lord Lucas said shakily as he lowered his head.

"Your Highness, please forgive my husband's negligence," Queen Venessa begged. Obviously, she didn't mean any of those words.

"I came for something important. But know that I can burn down the whole village with you in it if anything happens to Mala," Francis warned before he walked into the throne room. "Meet me here when Mala is done mourning her mother. For now, I do not want to see your faces."

The moment Francis left, Queen Venessa immediately walked towards king Lucas and held his hands. "What's all of this?" She asked, whispering.

King Lucas kept a straight face. "I do not know," he answered.
