A Demon Duchess

A Demon Duchess
1. Altheana Amaryllis


Being the only daughter of the family of Duke Amaryllis made the silver-haired girl go through her childhood in preparation to become a perfect queen.


Although before birth had been established as the future Queen, sometimes Althea secretly learned sword arts by imitating the movements of the father.


duke Amaryllis family besides being descendants of the late Queen of Astrantia kingdom is also a family famous for its military which can not be doubted its greatness.


Altheana Lunar De Amaryllis, the only daughter of the future Duke Amaryllis, Althea has a quite unique personality she is graceful like the noble in general sage there as where a crown princess is also great in terms of military.


His silver hair was so beautifully scattered, his purple-colored eyes were like jewels that one could instantly become enamored after looking at him.


"Today's daughter also looks beautiful" said one of Althea's servants, as an Althea nobleman had several personal servants as well as loyal soldiers nearby.


When the servants finished, they prepared Althea to wear her dress, the maids were busy picking out a beautiful and luxurious dress for their crown princess even though they knew an Altheana didn't like something that made it hard to move.


"What do you want your daughter to wear today?" Anne asked one of Althea's confidants.


"Pick the simple one, oh yes! Anne please prepare my family uniform," replied Althea, after work plan Althea will go secretly from the palace as she usually does.


"You want to go quietly again princess?" anne asked a little worried about Althea's safety because sometimes Althea came home with a scratch or just a blood stain on her shirt.


Not only because of the safety of the future Queen, but if this custom of Althea is known by the crown prince can-can the crown prince increasingly hate his future wife.


Aye! Although Althea is a crown princess, the two are unmarried, Althea is still the fiancee of the crown prince but due to some state affairs must be done by a crown princess as a result of Althea who is also a cousin of the crown prince who filled the position even before both married.


"You know me." Althea smiled faintly at Anne, Anne was a few years older than Althea but it felt like Althea looked more mature due to her calm nature and always thought before acting.


After he finished preparing Althea to go to his study located in the main building of the palace, when entering his study he saw a lot of piles of paper on his desk.


Even so Althea remained calm considering this had become her routine for several years entering the palace.


After sitting Althea just focus on doing the tasks that he has to do, although the task is very much but Althea can do everything quickly and precisely.


"Lucas please bring the book on this list," Althea told her personal assistant, handing over a piece of paper containing a list of books she had recorded.


Lucas was one of Althea's confidants during his time at court, although his status was that of the crown prince's fiancee but the crown prince did not protect Althea directly.


Call it the crown prince hates his fiancee yes it is the reality.


After his task was done Althea just quietly prepared his horse to go to the residence of Duke Amaryllis.


"You're really going to do this again, your majesty?" asked Lucas who was worried about the safety of his crown princess.


"I wouldn't have done it if the situation in this palace was safe, Lucas, as usual you should have been able to keep a secret" Althea replied in a speech that seemed very authoritative.


Althea rode on her beloved horse, after which Lucas handed her a rose-carved sword that Althea had hidden from her future husband.


For a noble, the Palace is a battlefield where if you let your life and your family may be in danger and Althea felt it since childhood, since the first time he came to the palace.


After bidding farewell to Lucas, Althea sped her horse very quickly towards the residence of Duke Amaryllis was truly the only place Althea could call home.


After arriving at the border of the royal forest, suddenly an enormous adult white Tiger chasing Althea's horse made the horse he was riding scared.


Altha stopped spurting her horse she stared intently at the white tiger which had a very beautiful complexion.


"Canace follow me calmly, you can make the animals here afraid of your roar like that" Althea told the white tiger named Canace.


Instead of obeying the words of his master Canace instead jumped towards the horse and instantly its enormous size turned into a baby tiger.


"Spoiled base." Althea again drove her horse with Canace relaxing on her lap.


Half an hour had passed, Althea had already passed through various places to arrive at her destination.


Canace goes down after Althea stops the horse. The white tiger returned to its adult form.


After leaving his white horse to the knights, Althea followed Canace to the main door of the Duke Amaryllis residence.


When the door opened the servants lined up to greet his daughter master even so Althea ignored him and instead headed straight for the training ground of the knights.


Actually Duke forbids his daughter to study the military further but Althea has a stubborn nature that is indeed in the lower than his father, Althea, althea cleverly chose a time when her father was at work or going out of the capital.


With his dashing Althea pulled the sword from his scabbard, the knights also smiled thinly because they had long since they did not get sword lessons from sword masters like Althea.


*Prime, cringg..


The sound of iron rubbing against each other filled the entire mansion, while Althea enjoyed her activities Canace did not want to lose having fun, while watching Althea from afar some servants gave a pile of meat to Canace.


Not feeling the night soon, Althea infiltrated into his room in the palace, he was too happy to forget that tonight the moon shines with its light.


Following Althea's moonlight as her eyes slowly shone, Althea tried to cover her eyes and the pain she felt because of this curse.


*Flashback-blown..


the silent atmosphere of the night was so gripping, the air was somehow so crowded, the moon was shining Blood red and the agonizing cry of a woman who was struggling gave birth to her flesh blood.


"hold on a little more noble, your baby will be born soon" said one waiter, clasping the hand of Duchess Amaryllis.


not long after the whole room finally sighed in relief, a tiny silver-haired and ungodly-eyed baby with his cute crying out loud.


the baby was carried into the arms of the mother, Duchess Amaryllis was crying happily to see her first daughter who was born healthy.


but not long ago the happiness lasted, the atmosphere suddenly grew increasingly gripping, the eyes of baby Althea slowly lit up like moonlight at that time.


...


Duke Amaryllis who heard his wife giving birth rushed towards the Duke's mansion, but when he got there he was stunned by the circumstances that there were all the people who were there lying on the ground covered in blood, from the silence there was the sound of a baby crying filled the entire mansion.


The Duke ran towards the voice, on the slam of the bedroom door where the wife was hugging their baby tightly.


in her final moments Duchess Amaryllis, who now has the same eye color as baby Althea, made a final request to her husband.


"I beg you, love our child for me." With her sweet smile the Duchess breathed her last.


The Duke looked into the eyes of his Princess who had returned to how it was, tears dripping from the tip of his eyes he slowly dipped his little princess cheek.


"Altheana Lunar De Amaryllis.my daughter, our daughter."


...


Time passed so quickly, Althea was now ten years old. he who was asleep was disturbed by something with his tiny legs he stepped into a flower garden where the mother often spent time while impregnating Althea.


the clouds that had been covering the moon were now slowly disappearing, revealing the full moon that was shining with its light, Althea began to feel pain all over her body slowly eyes like the jewel was shining worth her blood.


"Thea!" the Duke shouted when he heard the princess's scream. The Duke ran towards his daughter but he was surprised when there were so many animals and subtle creatures who out of nowhere performed as if paying respect to his daughter who was now covered in black shadows.


*back now


Althea who had already managed to control the color of her eyes, looked at herself in the reflection of the mirror.


"mother I promise, your blood will not be wasted."
