THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Loss of the Seal of the Curse of Love 2

In a teahouse, there was a tall man with a thin body, white skin, a very handsome face with a pointed nose, sitting while drinking a cup of warm green tea. He sat right next to a window that showed a view below the store that looked like a crowd and then people walked. Suddenly Arches came to the man who was none other than Rickie, his best friend. The punch landed right on Rickie's right cheek. Rickie fell off his chair. All the customers who were there immediately looked towards the two of them, with gazes full of astonishment. With her body staggering, Rickie tried to stand up. He saw Arches, his friend standing right in front of him with a face full of anger. His gaze shifted towards all the customers who were inside the room, staring at the two of them. Rickie's gaze turned down, precisely he saw Arches right hand begin to clench a fist that was ready to be floated towards him. Soon, he turned his eyes toward Arches, his best friend. With a sinless face, Rickie began to ask him.

"What are you doing?! Why did it suddenly come hitting me?!"

"Tsk, why?! I should have asked you. What have you said to Alviercha?!"

"Alviercha?! I didn't say anything to him?!"

"Traitor!"

"Huh?! What do you mean by saying I'm a traitor?! I don't understand?!"

"Currently, you told Alviercha that I was engaged to a princess from another kingdom! What do you mean, you said that to him?!"

"It's true, isn't it, that you're engaged to another woman?!"

"Where did you get this news?!"

Suddenly Rickie recalls a memory of his memories when he meets a very beautiful young woman, who tells him that she is the fiance of Arches, his best friend. The woman told Rickie not to tell anyone about this, including Arches, her best friend.

Flashback Memory Rickie

"Please, keep this a secret. I don't want everyone to know this, including him (Arches)." asked the young woman.

"Why are you doing this?! Wouldn't it be great, if the whole world knew...if you were his fiancee?!" ask Rickie.

"I beg you, please keep this secret. I want, you promised me, to keep this a secret to anyone. Including to Arches."

"Huff, okay. I promise."

"Thank you."

...****************...

Seeing his friend (Rickie) daydreaming, Arches became increasingly furious.

"Why are you quiet?! Tell me something, motherfucker!"

"Who are you saying bastard?!"

"Who else do you think?!"

"Humph, if you don't feel engaged to anyone, why should you be angry?!"

"Dammit!!!"

Both are involved in an inevitable fight. All the items that were in that place were in a mess and shattered into pieces. The shopkeeper who heard the commotion from his employee report, immediately came over to see the real situation happening. How shocked he was to see that the whole table, chairs and other items, were smashed to pieces. Unable to hold back his anger, the shopkeeper yelled at them.

"Hey, you two!!! Stop it!!!"

Hearing the tavern owner's screams in the middle of the fight between the two of them, Arches immediately dodged his fight and flew landing right in front of the owner. The look in his eyes was very frightening, making the owner of the shop not wince.

Hearing the threat, the tavern owner nodded his head in fear. Seeing the owner nod his head, Arches turned and attacked Rickie, his best friend. The two jumped up and flew out of the tavern and took to the middle of the road. People who had been passing in the street, immediately scattered away from the two of them. The two face each other. Both Arches and Rickie both cast top-tier magic, taking out their magical beasts.

The people who were around the streets and who were above the taverns around the outskirts of the road, saw the fight of two young witches, one of whom was the future heir to the throne in their future kingdom. The two of them both took out top-tier magical beasts. Arches takes out his fire dragon, while Rickie takes out his hell wolf. The two beasts roared very loudly and frighteningly. With orders from their owners, the two magical beasts fought each other over the air. And Rickie's hell wolf is finally defeated by Arches' fire dragon. The hell wolf disappeared and Rickie fell down and sat on the ground vomiting blood. Seeing the weakened condition of his best friend, Arches also took out a sword from his right hand and pointed it right in front of the face of Rickie his best friend. Rickie who saw the shining sword blade right in front of his face, could only swallow.

"Am I going to be killed by him?!" inner Rickie.

"Tell me, why are you lying to her?! Why did you tell him that you sent him letters and gifts every day?! Why?!! Answer!!!" snapped Arches with a reddened face due to his intense anger at that moment.

"I don't want to see him hurt. Desperate, because he put his hope in you. That's why I lied to him."

"Tell me, do you love her?!"

"No!"

"lik! If you don't love her, why would you lie to her?!"

"Tsk, you yourself.. Why did you lie to him?! Rejecting your own promise?!"

"What do you mean?!"

"Ohuk... Arches, why don't you ask yourself?!"

"You!!!"

"Arches, I told you. I don't love her. I just don't want him to get hurt, just because of the false hope you gave him. While you..."

"I was wrong to believe you."

"Well?!"

"I should have killed you long ago!!" arches shouted while swinging his sword at Rickie, intending to stab his heart, but he was wrong.

The person he stabbed with the sword in his hand was Alviercha, the woman he loved so much. How surprised Arches was to see that he had stabbed and injured his loved ones. Seeing Alviercha hurt in his chest while holding Arches sword blade, Rickie shouted hysterically.

"Alviercha!"

Hearing Rickie's cry, Arches spontaneously drew his sword. Alviercha vomited blood and both palms bled as a result of holding the sword blade stuck in his chest, to save Rickie. Seeing this incident, Arches dropped his sword on the ground. He knelt down and went to Alviercha, to take him to the royal doctor.

"Don't touch me! Uhuk... uhuk." said Alviercha withstanding the excruciating pain in his chest from the puncture of Arches.

Hearing that, Arches was speechless with a blank look. His heart was broken hearing the words of the woman he loved. He did not expect that Alviercha would be cold to him. Arches can only see Rickie holding Alviercha's body and taking him away to save Alviercha's life.

"Stop! Where are you taking her?!" arches shouted as he moved from his seat.

"Certainly saved his life!"

"Take him to my palace. There's a royal physician who's very skilled at dealing with his wounds."

Because there was no choice, Rickie finally obeyed the words of Arches. Carrying Alviercha in both hands, he jumped up on the head of the fire dragon and stood behind Arches. Arches who saw that scene, could only endure the pain in his heart. The two of them rose above the head of the fire dragon and flew towards the palace, the residence of the prince of Arches.
