“E-eung-saw.. Where am I now?” ask Sia who just regained consciousness from her stupor.
On the right side of the bed where Sia was lying, there was Vivian and also Elios who had been waiting for Sia to wake up.
“Finally you realize,” Vivian said.
Sia tried to get up from her sleeping position.
“Beautiful girl, you saved me. Thank you,” Elios smiled at Sia.
“No, it's nothing. I'm just trying to do what I can do, how's your body doing now?” ask Sia.
Elios was stunned to see Sia worrying about him, the beautiful girl who had saved his life turned out to have a heart as warm as sunshine and this made Elios touched.
“You must rest! Lay back your body,” Vivian commands encouraging Sia to lie back down.
“You...”.
“Oh I forgot, you definitely don't know who I am. I am Vivian, the queen of white demons aka her mother Elios and his wife Hedwig,” Vivian said introducing herself.
“Your Highness, I..”.
“Do not get up! You just lie down. You saved the white demon nation and ignored your fatigue so that we could all survive even you saved Elios from the power that was about to eat his life. We owe you,” Vivian said.
“But why save us? Aren't you a citizen of the Sora Empire? You should've helped them,” asked Elios curiously.
Sia sighed, she recalled the pain she felt during her stay in the Sora Empire. His parents always treated him like a tool to get the next empress throne. His power was used as an emperor's lure to grant their request for Sia to marry the crown prince.
She lived a tormented life day after day, like being trapped in a golden cage. His inner torment, physical fatigue easily because he was forced to work every day to heal many people and his parents took advantage of this. Sia who originally only wanted to use her power for free at no cost but her parents used it to enrich themselves. It was like a hell and there was no smile of happiness etched on his lips.
“I ran away from home,” replied Sia briefly.
“Kabur? Why did you run away?” ask Elios again.
Sia bit her lower lip, she closed her eyes with her hands. A sense of pain spread in his heart, the hatred and sadness he felt was enough to suppress him all along.
“Because I was never happy there. I was only used as a tool by my parents even the emperor because of my healing ability, I ran away because I was not strongly suppressed by them,” said Sia.
“So yeah? I know you must have had bad days there. That's why just stay here and marry me,” Elios said lightly.
“Married?”
“Iya married,”
Elios floated his smile, Sia did not understand the way Elios thought and what was the real purpose of asking him to get married when they had just met each other and got married? It was the only thing Sia had not thought of for the nearly 18 years she had lived.
“I don't want to,” refuse Sia put on a flat facial expression.
“Do not want? Why?”
“I fell in love first sight with you,”
“Lying! I don't want to marry you, Sia's strong”.
Vivian chuckles at Elios who suddenly invites to marry a girl after a long time she is unconscious.
“You're the same as your father. How can you get a girl married in a situation like this? Now we go out first and let Sia rest for a while here. Do not disturb him until his fatigue is gone,” said Vivian encouraged Elios to get out of the room.
Ever since Elios invited Sia to get married, the day he launched his act to tempt Sia. Elios insisted on marrying her even though she had been rejected by Sia many times. For some time to come, Sia was indeed allowed by Hedwig as well as Vivian to live in the underworld temporarily. Sia did many things there, she helped the entire white devil who had an unhealthy body.
“You get out of here! Why do you keep seeing me and approaching me?” expel Sia.
The sentence of his expulsion did not work against Elios who was stubborn, Elios followed him everywhere even Elios moved his room beside the room occupied by Sia.
“I told you I wanted to marry you,”
Sia exhaled heavily and then massaged her temple which did not hurt.
“I don't want to marry you!” sia refused it again.
“Why? Is there anything less than me?”
“Nothing. It's just that I'm not ready for it yet,” replied Sia bending her expression.
“I just want to see you smile sincerely. I don't like humans let alone humans from the Sora Empire but that doesn't apply to you. From the very beginning I saw you I knew that you were different from the humans I met in general. Sia, I really love you and I feel a bond that is not separated from you,” Elios said with a sincere look.
Sia was filled with the words Elios had spoken to her, words she had never heard from the mouths of those she used to meet. His heart began to be moved and opened as Elios managed to break into it.
“I'll think about it again,” Sia said.
“Really?”
Sia nodded, looking at Elios's face as she knew Sia's heart was starting to open to her. Then time after time Sia's heart was conquered by Elios, the heart that was originally sealed finally opened wide to Elios a. Hedwig and Vivian find out about their relationship and Hedwig tells them to get engaged. At first Elios wanted them to get married but Sia wanted them to get engaged first and Elios followed suit.
The engagement ceremony was lively, the other white demons accepted Sia happily and they no longer saw Sia using hateful gazes. Sia felt so comfortable living here and no longer wanted to go home. Everyone treated Sia like their own family, there was no place happier than the underworld for her.
“Elios! Why did you marry such a despicable human as him?!” naria, who had just come into the engagement party of Elios and Sia, snapped.
“What are you saying? Did you just insult Sia?”
“Indeed he's despicable isn't he? I deserve to marry you and not this woman. I was waiting for you to wake up, but what was the reply? You're engaged to this human!”
“I never asked you to wait for me,” ketus Elios.
“Elios! Please marry me, my heart is tormented by this love. You only deserve me and throw this woman out. Yes?”
