My Demon, My Love... - A Slave's Redemption

“I ran into her friend, a slave by the name of Blaz. Apparently, Azlyn told him that I was kissing another before she ran back into the castle.” Reve explained. “He approached me, ready to fight for her honor. Though, I quickly explained myself to him and came directly to our room, hoping that Azlyn would be here waiting to speak with me.”

“She was too hurt to come speak to you. She wanted to get away from here as quickly as possible.” Umay informed him.

“Please, you have to help me talk to her. I need her to know that she is the only one that matters to me! I want to be with her and only her! I need her, without her I am just a raging storm with nothing that can calm it! Please Umay, help me!”

“Wow! I can hardly believe it. The unattainable Prince Reve has, actually, fallen in love! You really do care about her in the same way that Dalair cared about Penelope!”

“Yes, Umay! I love her!” Reve paused, taking in a deep breath. “I love her so much that it hurts.”

“Well, if you really love her as much as you say you do, and I am inclined to believe that you do. Then you will do what is best for Azlyn. She is not safe here and she will never be safe here, not like this.” Umay was still stern with Reve; he needed to hear the truth, even if it hurt him. “Things would have to change drastically for her to have any chance at a real life with you. So, pick the best move for Azlyn’s well-being and sell her to me. I will keep her under my protection and no one will harm her the way that she’s been harmed so many times before.”

“You do not understand, Umay. I cannot live without her. I literally do not think that I could survive if she was not near me every day. She is the only thing that keeps me sane in this crazy universe. Without her, I am nothing.” Reve begged, tears filling his eyes.

Umay thought about Reve’s words long and hard for several minutes. She had never seen Reve cry before, not ever. She went back and forth over how to best proceed.

“You love her?”

“Yes, that is what I have been saying!”

“You want to be with her?”

“Yes, of course.”

“Above all others?”

“Yes!”

“Forever?”

“Forever, I swear.”

“What are you willing to do to make that happen?”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you willing to do whatever it takes to be with her?”

“Yes.”

“Even if it means changing everything that you have ever know in order to keep her safe?”

“Yes, Umay! Whatever it takes!” Reve cried. “I would literally do anything that I had to do for Azlyn’s safety. I want to be with her and only her for the rest of my life! I would walk across the realm barefoot to make that happen. I would fight a million demon armies for her! I would give up my titles for her!”

“Good.” Umay said with a smirk. “That is exactly what I wanted to hear.”
