THE DEMON KING'S EMPRESS
The Loss of the Seal of the Curse of Love 4

In a palace garden filled with various kinds of flowers and plants, King Arches is seen relaxing on a white mattress in the middle of a garden filled with colorful roses that grow around it. Both of his eyes closed as his face rested on the pedestal of his left hand. His thick black eyebrows with slightly plump eyelashes, his nose pointed plus the color of his natural red lips, clearly describes him who is very handsome. Suddenly a black shadow appeared from behind and knelt down while saluting him. The black shadow was none other than his shadow bodyguard wearing a black robe with a mask covering his face.

"Greet Your Majesty."

"What about the job I gave you?!" asked King Arches with both eyes still closed.

The shadow guard stood up and walked over towards the King of Arches. He whispered something into the right ear of King Arches while covering it with one of his right hands. The Arches King, who was still with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes after hearing something that had been whispered by his shadow bodyguard. After whispering something into the ears of the King of Arches, the shadow bodyguard immediately retreated backwards. King Arches got up from his seat.

"Get me my disguise! We're leaving now!" the King of Arches.

Deathly Forest

In the forest, in a large, leafy tree, hid a woman behind the tree. He hid while holding a sleeping baby girl in his arms. Blood soaked her white dress. It looks like she just gave birth. His breath was breathless and his face was deathly pale. That woman is Alviercha. He's hiding from the hit men. Suddenly from a distance he heard the footsteps of someone walking over while carrying a bloodied sword in his hand. The man continued walking while observing the entire forest with his men. He gave the order to search for the woman. His men obeyed his orders and soon dispersed.

Suddenly one of the assassins found Alviercha hiding behind the big tree. They soon got into a fight. Hearing the sound of commotion, immediately they ran towards the source of the commotion. The head of the assassin was shocked to see one of his men killed by the woman. His face looks very angry and wants to immediately finish off the woman and her child in his arms. The baby girl, who had been asleep, suddenly woke up and cried very loudly. That made the chief assassin even more furious.

Alviercha felt cornered by this atmosphere. He felt that his strength was getting weaker after fighting one of the assassins. Plus now, he had to face the chief of the assassins with his remaining men. Alviercha sighed heavily. He thought that he would die in this place with the fruit of his heart that he had just born.

"Go ahead and finish off the woman and the baby in her arms!!!" the commanding officer.

Hearing the command given, without much ado they all came forward simultaneously to attack and kill the woman and the baby in her arms. Seeing all the men from the assassin simultaneously attacking him, Alviercha took one step back to the rear. Prepare to launch the action. But how surprised he was when he saw all the men from the assassin, immediately fell and died covered in blood. Not only was Alviercha taken aback by this incident, even the head of the assassin was also shocked to see this scene. He immediately observed the entire forest area. His eyes were turned to Alviercha who was still standing before him at a distance of about ten meters from him.

"Woman j*lang! What a dirty trick you played to kill all my men!"

Alviercha who heard that, became confused. Because the one who killed all the men of the assassin was not him.

"Believe it or not, I didn't kill them all."

"If it wasn't you, then who else would it be?! In this forest there are only the two of us! Don't play me!"

"I thought so at first. But looking at this incident, I'm not sure if it's just the two of us in this forest?!"

"That shit!!! Die you!!!" the chief assassin shouted while flying and was about to stab Alviercha with the sword he had just pulled out from behind his right palm.

Unfortunately, had not had time to kill the target, the head of the assassin immediately fell and drenched in blood. Alviercha was startled and immediately took a step back. The baby girl in his arms was still crying, as if she was afraid of something invisible.

"Who are you?! Out!!! Don't just dare to hide!!!" alviercha shouted as she calmed her still crying baby in her arms.

The wind was also blowing very hard. The trees around the forest swayed followed by the shrubs that came swaying along, as if welcoming the arrival of someone who was incomparably strong. Alviercha felt that something was walking closer towards him. Something very powerful, but he didn't know for sure what it was. He walked backwards while looking in all directions around the forest. A strong wind continued to blow and blew away some of the dried leaves that had fallen. All the animals that were in the forest, immediately fled. Alviercha took a step back while calming her baby to stop crying. Without realizing it, he hit something in the back.

He felt that he had hit someone with immense strength. Surprisingly, her baby daughter who had been crying in her arms immediately stopped and smiled. Alviercha who saw her baby daughter smile, became astonished. Actually what he hit, to make the baby smile. His mind was currently very chaotic. Between fear, curiosity into one. Until he dared to look back.

And how shocked he was when he hit was someone he knew very well. Even being together for a while, not forever. He immediately turned his body around however, his body could not compromise with his mind. He was about to fall but was soon captured by the King of Arches who was wearing his disguise. Seeing Alviercha's weak body, the King of Arches was about to carry him but was held captive by Alviercha. With the rest of the energy, Alviercha walked towards the big tree and sat leaning against its trunk holding the baby.

"What are you doing here?!"

"Thank you for helping me, Arches. Ahh sorry, thank you Your Majesty."

"Tsk" said King Arches as he glanced at the baby in Alviercha's arms.

Not only that, her eyes were turned aside to the white dress worn by Alviercha, filled with bloodstains.

"You just gave birth?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where's your husband?"

"She died protecting me after I gave birth to her child."

"That means, he didn't get to see his son?!"

"Forku?!"

"Yes. He said. I'm sorry for taking me from you."

"That's the past. I'm so sincere you're married to her."

"so yeah. He also said he had to hide this from you. Because he's tied to a promise with someone. He hopes you'll forgive him."

"Bound a promise to someone? Who's she?"

"He didn't say it. It's just, he wishes you could be happy after this."

The King of Arches only fell silent on hearing that. For him, that happiness is when he meets and sees the woman he loves living a happy life, even if not with her. But in reality, he met the woman he loved in a very sad condition.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you a favor?"

"Say, what kind of help do you want from me?" asked the King of Arches in a slightly heavy tone.

King Arches and Alviercha exchanged glances with each other.

"Please take this baby of mine to the orphanage, so that he may be cared for there." - Alviercha, who gave her baby daughter to the King of Arches.

The king of Arches received the baby and carried him into his arms. He saw the baby girl smiling at him with her eyes wide open. Seeing the cute baby looking at him with a smile, the King of Arches couldn't bear to look at him. He immediately called his personal bodyguard. His personal bodyguard suddenly appeared like a black shadow.

"Your Majesty, what did Your Majesty call you?!"

"You're holding this baby for a minute!"

"Eh.. eee.." said his bodyguard with a wave while holding the baby girl.

The king of Arches lowered his head and drew closer to Alviercha's face. The two exchanged glances with each other for quite a long time.

"Ehem... Alviercha, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine, Your Majesty. Thank you for worrying about me."

"May I carry you?! You don't look like you're doing well. So let me take you to my palace, so you can get help right away."

"No need of His Majesty. Besides, my time won't be long."

"What do you mean?! Are you just going to leave your son behind?! Don't you feel sorry for him?! She's a baby and she still needs you as her mother."

"I knew. I also want to spend my whole life raising and caring for my son. But, I can't Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you understand my current condition much better. It's so small for me to survive in my current condition."

"You?!"

"Sttts... Your Honour. Please grant my request. Please put my son in the orphanage and please occasionally, you come to see him. I wonder if he grew up healthy and happy there."

"You don't have to worry, I'll grant your request. I will consider him my own son. And, I'm gonna stop by your house to give you some news about your son's development."

"Thank you Your Majesty. And I'm sorry, Arches. I. I love you." said Alviercha in tears.

He brought his face closer to King Arches and kissed his lips. Seeing Alviercha kissing his lips, the King of Arches replied to him while tightly hugging his frail body. Seeing that sight, the personal bodyguard of the King of Arches immediately turned his back, turning to the two people who were kissing. Soon the two let go of their kiss.

"Arches, my baby girl. Please take care and take care of him." said Alviercha while gently holding the two cheeks of King Arches with both hands. Her tears flowed from both eyes.

Slowly, Alviercha closed both eyes. His body fell unconscious into the arms of King Arches. His breathing slowly weakened and stopped. His body began to feel cold. King Arches hugged the body of the woman he loved. Slowly her tears flowed from both her cheeks. The woman he loved had left him in this world, forever and ever.

"I.. also love you forever." Inner King Arches.
