Chapter 2
Liana's pov :
My limbs froze in place as I tried to process what I just heard. What was I getting myself into? I was obviously playing with fire and was sure to get burnt.
But I had no other choice, every one I knew and loved was about to be killed before my very eyes and I was with them if I didn't do anything.
I turned my head looking all around at everyone. The fate of these people depended on me and I could not let them down, I could not disappoint them, I was their Princess after all so it was my duty to save them when necessary.
I looked at my father, the man who loved me so dearly even when everyone including my mother thought of me as weird and rebellious in nature, I was his favourite and he always told me just how much he was proud of me even though I had a rebellious nature, he loved me and my rebellious nature.
I obviously had no other choice, I must save my people at all cost. Even if it meant selling my soul to the devil.
" I accept Lord Karl "
I blurted out, pain and desperation evident in my voice.
He stretched out his hand in the air and a scroll appeared, I wondered what that was.
He let it fall to the ground and it came on open.
" Sign"
He said in the most commanding tone possible, handing me the most ancient pen I had ever seen. While I stretched my hand to collect it, he pricked my finger with the pin tip of the pen, causing a drop of blood to form on my index.
" You sign with your blood"
He said and I placed the bleeding finger on the part that I needed to, and just like that the scroll disappeared into thin air.
Before I could understand what was happening, I was consumed by thick darkness and I lost control of my body. I was possessed by Lord Kael and I had no idea why but some part of me trusted him. Some part of me trusted the devil.

Kael's pov :
Summoned by the Princess. I knew this was bound to happen one day but I never thought it would happen soon. I had been noticing her since her birth. She had something in her that was so special. I watched her grow into an adult with a free mindset, she was the first and only who dared to question the reality of things.
The story of me, the devil, as they named me. She was the very first person who dared to think differently, who was not brain washed into believing that half baked story which I hate to remember.
As gods, when you are worshipped by no one or lesser people, you begin to fade, lose your power and your existence, you become weak, very weak and insignificant.
That was the aim of the remaining gods, to have me lose my power, so they made up the whole story and everyone believed them easily, like they were too eager to find fault in me, so I let them believe whatever they wanted to.
Liana was the first to ever question the story and I picked interest in her but she was not completely a believer of me but never did she worship the remaining gods.
She was the perfect description of a free thinker, brave, strong and different, so different, like she never belonged in the human world, she belonged with me.
" I accept Lord Kael "
Hearing those words from her ignited me with so much power, much more power than I had ever felt in a long time. In a swift moment, I possessed her. If she was going to sell her soul to save her people then I might as well use her body to save them so they know for the rest of their lives that she saved them from sudden destruction that had befallen them.
I moved swiftly,
One guard then another, something multiple numbers at a time, they kept coming and I kept fighting them off.
The villagers and everyone present looked very surprised. I let time run fast enough so that everyone could watch Liana save them. And they all looked stunned.
I fought and killed all the soldiers who came as the supporting army of Malachi until it was only him left.
He tried casting spells but spells don't work on me because I am the Lord of darkness.
With a swift swing I drove a sword down his belly, grabbing a flag and hanging him till I was sure he was dead.
They I unpossessed Princess Leila, freezing time again. She looked at everything I had just done and heaved a sigh of relief.
" In three days, I shall return to take you with me, be prepared"
I said to her, meaning every word
With that I vanished again.
Princess Liana's pov :
What did he mean in three days' time when he was going to return to take me with him? I could not help but keep thinking about what that meant. Was he going to kill me and take my soul ? Or does he have a home where he stays on earth?
I was scared for my life but I was also relieved that I got to save my people today, and that was enough. I traded one life for many to be saved, it sounds absolutely amazing.
I watched everyone look at me like they were staring at a ghost, I just couldn't understand these people sometimes.
Whether they are grateful or not. I didn't care, all I cared about was the safety of everyone, especially my father.
I rushed towards him, praying to see him in a fine state, he already looked very weak from the extreme torture . His body looked battered from the hits he had gotten from the evil Malachi and from his dumb Army.
