Chapter 4
*A Delicate Balance*
Kael decided to seek a middle ground, hoping to balance his duty as a demon prince with his love for Eliana. He knew it wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to find a way.
Kael began to secretly meet with Eliana, cherishing every moment they shared. He taught her about the underworld and its workings, and she taught him about the beauty of the mortal world.
As they navigated their forbidden love, Kael realized that he didn't have to choose between his duty and Eliana. He could find a way to serve the underworld while also being with the woman he loved.
*A New Path*
Kael proposed a compromise to his father: he would continue to serve as a demon prince, but he wanted to be allowed to maintain a relationship with Eliana. The King was furious, but Kael's determination and willingness to find a middle ground gave him pause.
The King agreed to consider Kael's proposal, but warned him that if he failed to uphold his duties, the consequences would be severe.
*Malakai's Reaction*
Malakai, the powerful demon who had been watching Kael and Eliana, grew increasingly angry. He had been manipulating the King, fueling his anger and pushing him to make rash decisions.
Malakai saw Kael's compromise as a weakness and decided to take matters into his own hands. He began to secretly gather his forces, planning to overthrow the King and take the throne for himself.
*The Stakes Rise*
As Kael and Eliana's relationship became more public, the stakes grew higher. The underworld's creatures began to take sides, some supporting Kael's desire for change, while others opposed it.
Eliana's powers, linked to the underworld, grew stronger. She became a target for those who sought to exploit her abilities.
Kael knew he had to protect Eliana at all costs. He gathered his allies and prepared for battle, knowing that the coming conflict would change the course of their lives forever...
