The Underealm is rule by 5 Houses
Shisun is the leader of the Houses of Celensia (the Celestial Beast lineage) the top ruler of the realm.
Assistant
It's time to get up, my lady.
Shisun
urgh... *pull blanket up* 5 more minutes...
Assistant
Come on, Ms. It's almost 8:30, you are making your guests wait for too long... *gently pull the blanket away*
Shisun
•-• my guest??? I have a guest?
Assistant
Did you forget?? (°ロ°) !
Shisun
(°ロ°) ! I sure am??!!!! Omg my reputation is gonna be so ruined!!! *hopped out of bed*
Shisun quickly changed her clothes and rushed to the waiting hall
Awaiting for her arrival is the ominous scene of a familiar young man
Avelen
Good morning, Your Highness. *grin*
Shisun
I was wondering where you were during my coronation ceremony the other day.
Avelen
Oh my apologies, you know invaders don't rest no matter the events.
Shisun
I suppose you're right. So what brought Mr. Devlon to my court room today?
Avelen
anyway I wanted to report some issues about our border with humans.
Avelen
People in my line have grown tired of just "scaring them off". It's quite obvious that they won't take the hint.
Shisun
*sigh*
I guess you already came up with a better method to keep our border clean?
Avelen
and I know you wouldn't like it but I have my duty to keep my house happy.
Shisun
*pout*
We are not going to harm humans.
Avelen
•-•" why are you making that face
Shisun
*pout pout*
I said what I said
Avelen
•-• Shisun this is serious..
Shisun
We shall not harm humans, what if they were just lost. We are not blood thirsty creatures.
Avelen
They kept coming back. I-
Shisun
If they are armed and hostile toward you, you can attack them. If they are genuinely lost, you have to guide them away. Deal?
Shisun
I know you have a terrible past with them but please.. No innocents blood
Avelen
*exhale in disappointment*
Fine, it's a deal. For now
Avelen slowly bowed and turned to the door.
Shisun
Wait a minute, are you planning to leave immediately?
Avelen
yes, I don't really have a reason to prolong my visit and I thought her highness would be busy.
Shisun
I am but.. aren't we friends? I would like to catch up a bit.
Avelen
.... Sure. What do you want to know?
Shisun
How is your healing process? If you don't mind.
Avelen
..... I'm fine *close eyes*
Thanks for asking
Shisun
if there's anything I can do to minimize the side effects let me know.
Shisun
I know his attack could be so-
Avelen
That's ok, thanks for the offering.
Avelen
*turn to the door*
It's lovely to meet you today, Shisun.
Avelen
And I'm sorry for not attending your coronation. I'll be on my way. See you later
Shisun
Alright, take care.
The moment Avelen reached the door someone immediately walked past him.
The tall man left behind a trail of black feathers and dark aura.
Avelen was visibly shaking, Shisun stood unfaze at the scene.
Dranelch
A brilliant morning to you, Lady Shisun
*smile brightly*
Dranelch
I see you already have your first visitor today~
Hello Avelen, how are you
*turn to Avelen who is frozen by the door
S1.Ep2
Recap: Avelen rushed out of the room after the arrival of Dranelch
Shisun
*sigh*
He makes me worry sometimes
Dranelch
He's one interesting little dude *chuckle*
Dranelch
Just like old days
Shisun
I will pretend like I didn't hear what you just said
Dranelch
*cough*
Of course
I have a few favors to ask of you, my dear Princess.
Shisun
Seriously, you can stop calling me that. It is so cringy coming from you. ಠ''ಠ
Dranelch
*laughing*
My bad, my bad.
Shisun
So what are the favors you wanted to ask?
Shisun
I swear to the sun above if you ask for my scale I will pluck all your feathers off (`^´o)=3
Dranelch
Don't be so mean, I didn't come for your scale this time
Shisun
this time.. you little-
Dranelch
I want to ask for your blessing for my upcoming nuptial~ I'm getting engaged 乁( • v •乁)
Shisun
Engaged? You and Lady Mimi, right?
Dranelch
Yes, I was planning an engagement party by the end of this month. It would be such a blessing if you could come for a visit then.
Shisun
(Engaged??? He's only known her for a month!! How?! Isn't it quite a rush)
Shisun
well, you've gone all the way here to invite me, it would be rude of me to say no.
Shisun
(´｡• ᵕ •｡`) I would love to come to your celebration, feel free to drop the invitation anytime.
Dranelch
... you seem hesitant
Dranelch
you think I'm rushing, aren't you?
Shisun
will you be mad if I said yes? (• ▽ •;)
Dranelch
*laughing*
of course not
Dranelch
I also think it's a little rushed. But the council of Masedomian advised me to do this.
Shisun
you mean pressure you into doing this
Dranelch
you make it sound terrible..
Shisun
because it's kinda is...
乁( •_• )ㄏ
Dranelch
Mimi is a nice lady, I don't really mind the rush. Please just show up... for my sake.
Shisun
Fiiiinnnneeee (;=~=)
Shisun
I'll come if you can answer my questions honestly. ◉‿◉
Shisun
Why did you tear Avelen's left wing off?!
Shisun
were you out of your mind?!!!
Dranelch
.... I didn't expect an interrogation...
Shisun
Answer my questions
Dranelch
He deserves it
He asked for a duel with me
and he lost.
Shisun
So you tear his wing off??!!!
Dranelch
I didn't mean to tear it... Just broke it.. but I was so angry at that moment
Shisun
You have any idea how much pain he was in? You didn't cut it off, you TEAR it off!!!
Shisun
the only reason nothing happened to you is because he accepted his loss and decided to not pursue any further action.
Dranelch
._. you've been holding it back..
Shisun
yes, I don't want your name to be buried six feet under you idiot.
Shisun
Don't say that to me, did you apologize to Avelen?
Dranelch
but he refused to meet me
Shisun
No shit, genius. You traumatized him
Shisun
I don't know what happened between you two. You were close before.
Dranelch
A lot happened in private..
Shisun
be as it may, I need you two to tolerate each other. For your people's sake. You understand me?
Dranelch
I understand.. I'll try to mend things between us, but I can't guarantee everything will be back to normal
Shisun
Just- be kind to him alright? Give him a bit of time, he's still hurting.
Shisun
stop trying to kill each other
Dranelch
I guess I should leave you to your duties, your assistant seems anxious. I hope to see you at my engagement party.
Dranelch
once again, I'm sorry I created such a hassle...
Dranelch walked slowly out the door, leaving Shisun slumped on her throne. Her face buried in her hands, sighing out in worries.
Assistant
My lady, are you ok?
Assistant
You're worried about them?
Shisun
... everything changed...
so quickly...
S1.Ep3
Avelen's Manor
Close to midnight
She walks to Avelen's balcony
Maid 1
Master? I brought you your medicine...
Avelen
Leave it on the table
Avelen is sitting on the ceiling porch looking down. The maid flinches out of shock and quickly calm herself.
He hopped down from the ceiling
Maid 1
You scared me, Master Avelen
Maid 1
I thought- I'm sorry-
Maid 1
*put the medicine tray on the table*
Maid 1
How are you feeling? Should I get the healer?
Avelen
No need, I'm fine.
Did anything happen while I was away?
Maid 1
only a few letters, I left them beside your books.
Avelen
That's good, thank you.
Avelen
It's late, you should return to your room. I'll be ok here on my own.
Maid 1
Yes my lord, I'll be on my way. Have a good night.
Avelen walked to his desk, grabbing the stack of letters.
He shoveled through the stack and landed his gaze on a black envelope with golden writings
"Masedomian"
he whispered
？？？
My my~ the Master is still dwelling on his little crush I see~
He looked around his candle lit room
？？？
What are you staring at? I'm over here, young one
A shadow figure appeared behind Avelen's back. Their silhouette wrapped in a thick layer of dark smoke, choking Avelen to his every breath.
Avelen
?!!!
*fell backward*
Avelen
*cough* what are you
The smoke that was covering the silhouette melted off of the person standing there.
Leaving behind a lady with crimson hair and fiery golden eyes
Luma
What's the matter? A demon afraid of a little bit of smoke?
Luma
So you do remember my name, I'm so touched~
( ´ ▽ ` )
Avelen
I should've known since you reeked of radioactive trash
Avelen
Get the hell out of my place
Avelen
You're not welcome here
Luma
Is this how you treat your once beloved girl?
Avelen
Give me a break Luma, there was nothing between us. Besides, that was almost a decade ago.
Avelen
*shook his head annoyingly*
Luma
Baby love, it wasn't my fault we ended in the bad term.
Luma
You failed to do what you promised to do.
Avelen
What the hell did I even promise you back then?
Luma
You promised me your Demon Core.
Side note: Demon Core is similar to a demon's heart, the demon can live with the heart away from their physical body.
Avelen
For once I'm glad I didn't give it to you
Luma
Awww ( ⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⌢⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀)
How could you say that
Avelen
Quit that, we ended on bad terms because you never actually love me.
Avelen
not because I didn't give you my core
Luma
Stupid boy, I do love you until you disappoint me.
*cross arms*
Avelen
Excuse me?
You are the one who said that you only be with me if I earn the leader position of this house and give you my core.
Avelen
if that's not the definition of using, I don't know what is!!
Avelen
*eyes gleaming with hate*
Luma
I want you to be the head of this house because I know you can and you deserve it. I only want the best for you.
Luma
I want your core so you can never cheat on me.. How can you blame me for that?
Avelen
Lies!!! I was so blind to have ever loved you. You degraded my self worth every time we were together, you even shut down the thing I was proud of.
Luma
I didn't degrade anything, you know it was true
she put her arms around his shoulders
Avelen
You're only back here because Shisun is immune to your dirty flirtatious tactics
Avelen
I can smell your toxicity around her. ugh your face makes me wanna puke!
Luma
*kick him to the ground*
Luma
You have a sharp tongue and pretty face but it is such a shame that your strengths and power are just lower than the lowest weaklings.
Avelen
urgh.. *whimpering slightly*
Luma
Tragically I didn't get Shisun position but what between me and her is not for your filthy kind to comment on.
Luma
*grab the back of his head*
Luma
you know.. maybe I should re-damage your injured wing
Avelen
*shock*
No.. you wouldn't..
Luma
Of course I would
Who do you think I am?
Luma
*press her nails onto the injury on his back*
Avelen
???!!!!!@#%& Argh!!!!!
*shaking*
Avelen
*trying to kick her off*
Luma
the healing process is so slow *giggling*
Luma
*dig her nails further*
Avelen
AAAARRRTGHHHH!!!!!!!
While hoping for someone to hear him while the pain is getting blindingly much.
Avelen heard a massive
"WONK"
Luma
*unconscious*
*blood gushing from the side of her head*
Dranelch
You should feel lucky that I decided to be stubborn today
