The King's Love

Chap 1: Prologue

Over 1000 years ago, back in the Heian Era, there was a powerful King who ruled the land of Japan. He was the strongest sorcerer, a demon. Many people were afraid of him, but others worshipped him like a deity. His name was Ryomen Sukuna; the King of Curses. He owns a temple in the Hida Province in Japan. His temple is on top of a hill and behind his temple is a beautiful waterfall filling up a big lake. The lake was surrounded by a garden, filled with flowers of many kinds. The farm lands were close by the temple for his servants to take care of.

Many stories were told about Sukuna to the families across Japan and even the royal family. The Afina clan was royalty and most of them have fire abilities. There was a young princess, Aurora Afina, who just turned the age of 18, her abilities were different than the rest. She has the potential to create blue fire which is very rare among the Jujutsu society. Only her family knows about her abilities and wishes to keep it secret from everyone.

"Welcome all to our humble home." King Afina spoke to his dear friend Kingsley. The King walked up to Kingsley and hugged his dear friend. "It's been too long. How have you been?" Kingsley asked. "I've been well. How's your daughter, Aurora?" He chuckled for a moment before answering. "She is fine." Kingsley and the King walked into the office to talk in private. "Why you ask?" The king asked as he sat down. "Isn't she of age to be married?" Kingsley responded with another question. "Yes, unfortunately." The King replied, lifting his left brow. Something is off, but what? "I know someone of royalty she could marry." The kings eyes widened in shock of what he just heard. "Who?! I want answers damnit!" The king shouted. "I should warn you, he is a curse."

Aurora POV:

I'm in my room getting my hair braided as my servants put flower's in between each braid. The doors are open leaving a nice breeze in to the castle. I felt at peace. "Would you like some fruit from the trees, my lady." One of the servants Lily asked. "Yes, please." I answered with my mouth watering. A bowl of apples, oranges, and grapefruit was sitting next to her. I looked down to choose an orange to eat. As I peel the orange, I heard a knock from the door. "My lady?" One of the guards answered. "Come in." I answered back. The guard walked into the room. "The king is requesting your presence down stairs, my lady." I stood up and nodded. "Thank you for letting me know. I'll be down immediately. Excuse me ladies." My servants bowed as I walked out of my room.

'I wonder what this is about.' I thought to myself. Aurora walked downstairs to the room they were in. "Hello, father. You asked for me." I bowed before my father. "Yes. Um... you're having an arranged marriage." My mouth opened a bit as I covered it with my hand. "What?! How could you?! With who anyway?" I felt furious and betrayed by my own father. He didn't even ask me if I was ok with this. I asked out of curiosity. "......Ryomen Sukuna...." The king felt uneasy saying his name due to all the stories he heard about this demon. This is not something he takes lightly especially involving his own daughter.

"You mean the King of Curses?" He nodded to confirm. I knew I didn't have much of a choice, but to accept the arranged marriage. 'What am I going to do?' I thought to myself. "You'll meet him tomorrow morning. I'm sorry baby girl. If we want peace for our people and the land, this is the only chance we have." My father hugged me tightly quietly sobbing in my shoulder. I could tell my dad felt guilty for doing this to me. I understood why he did what he did. "It's ok, father. I understand." I had nothing to say. I hugged him back, wiping his tears off his face and gave a smile. He let me go out of his arms. I went back to my room to cry silently. "I'm marrying someone I never met before until tomorrow. To someone like him." I told myself under my breath.

Sukuna POV:

6 hours earlier...

I was sitting on my throne within my temple feeling bored out of my mind. All my servants doing my biding and Uraume is out buying things. My eyes couldn't stay open so I tried to fall asleep until the door slammed opened. My eyes shot open quickly. "Who dares to enter my throne room." He shouted across the room. "It is I, my lord." Kingsley answered. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" I leaned on my hand waiting for him to answer. "I have a proposition for you, my lord." I raised an eye brow. "Go on." He ordered. "I want you to marry princess Aurora, King Afina's daughter." He said while playing with his fingers. "Why would I ever want to marry her?! What do I get out of this?" I asked the foolish man. "To save our kingdom. We want peace and alliances with you." I stood up from my throne with a smug smirk. "And if I decline this proposal?" He stood there shaking and sweating bullets.

"P-please, my l-lord. I'd do anything. I'll betray King Afina and work under you." He stated without thinking. My eyes widens for a moment. "You got a deal. Now get out of my sight!" I sat back down on my thrown, motioned him away. 'I hope I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life.' I thought shaking my head. Uruame returned with supplies, food, dishes, ink, etc. "What's wrong, my lord? You looked troubled by something." She asked. He ignored her for a moment. "Huh? Oh, some human came barging in and asked me to marry a princess." She tilted her head. 'And? Are you...?" Her eyes widened and noticed he did say yes. "You are?!" I nodded yes. "I'm not sure if I made the right choice. We shall see when tomorrow comes. I'm meeting... *sigh* the princess." I gulped hard.

Uruame just looked at me with a blank stare. "What are you going to wear, my lord?" She asked even though he might not enjoy answering her. "I don't know. Maybe my usual outfit, the Kimono." She nodded and left the throne room to do her own duties around the temple. I was alone again which doesn't surprise me, not one bit. It's time for a nap since I never had the chance to sleep earlier. Goodnight

Aurora POV:

The night was almost over and I wasn't ready for tomorrow. My chest was hurting from the feeling of meeting him. My nervousness was kicking in. 'I must relax. Things will go fine.. or they won't. Just be yourself.... Oh god I can't do this.' My anxiety was through the roof. I ran outside of my room to the huge garden outback. It was the most beautifulest place on earth. I came here all the time when I was a child. I was at peace. "I wonder what Sukuna looks like? I hope he is good looking, hot, sexy, drop-dead gorgeous.. ooooooo I'm so curious."  My face flustered bright red. "Uh!" I covered my face and shake my head fast. "What am I thinking?! This is not the time to be day dreaming! Snap out of it!" I slapped myself across the face. I rubbed my face a bit then yawned. I felt tired and rubbed my eyes a little. "It's time for bed." I collapsed to the ground surrounded by the flowers in the garden. At least I feel safe.

I'LL SHOW YOU A BEAUTIFUL DREAM
