I Am The Evil Fiance Of The Male Lead...... Not!

The Black Sun

When Tyler jumped towards my lady so up in the sky, i was hoping that my lady would strike him down from the sky like a mosquito pestering a human.

There was a faint smile on my lips when he stepped up in the stone and went head on against my lady.

I was watching closely his flames spark up and were quickly dismissed by the powerful wave of magic that my lady emmited against him.

For a split second he started falling down and my plans were finally coming to fruition after all. Me and my lady would finally be together with no one to interfere with our love, and those who were to defy us would be disposed off by the tremendous power in her hand.

I'd finally be given what i was promised long ago by her as the absolute ruler of this land with her love to always accompany me.

For a moment, as quick as that moment was, i was truthfully happy and looking forward to my future as not her servant who she had taken pity on, but as her equal whom she would share a entire kingdom with on equal footing.

But happiness isn't meant to be forever, it is to be enjoyed while it lasts before it fades back into other less pleasantly feelings.

And i have savored those less pleasants sensations much more than i had ever imagined i would.

At first, Tyler fell down to his demise before my lady pointed her hands at his direction and from her palms, sparks of a black... thing started pouring out and circling around her.

With this, his body begin floating mid-air while his body was engulfed in a flame unlike any sort of flame that i had ever seen, by magical or not. A flame of a obscure light that had light up him just like how it would a piece of paper, and as his body fizzled away the cinders of it started circling my lady just like the other thing.

Something wrong was going on here. I knew she would receive new found powers after and pass it down to me as the price to be paid for the sacrifice, but something started feeling off...

"What? Is this power the blessing she have received?" I've muttered by myself, my eyes on the ever growing aura that was bending the moon light around my lady.

Soon, the odd flames were strating to mix with the thing that were flying out of her hand, their speed increasing as more and more of the cinders poured out of Tyler's body and they quickly took over her hands, which no longer could be seen as she lifted her arms up in the sky.

A warm breeze started blowing in a way that felt as if a storm of flames was brewing despite being such a clear night, the sensation like a great bonfire that was far away but the wind carried it's power towards you.

It brought me back to the days when i started working in my lady's residence as a orphan who was rescued by my lady's mother from the cold streets of the capital. Perhaps in other circumstances, i would've been kicked out as soon as her father put his eyes on me or be adopted by them as a brother to my lady.

But a peasant would never be a equal to someone like my lady, who was always destined to be a great figure in the future of a entire kingdom. I could never hope to be somebody worthy of her love.

That's why i did what i have done.

The ritual to infuse our souls together as a marriage in honor of the goddess of love, whose union would bring us together no matter what circumstances were thrown at us, destiny itself bend to make us happy together as if we were one.

It was too late for regrets or second thoughts about what i had to do to make the ritual work as intended. Far too late to consider backing down and run away as the air grew stagnant, the moon light a darker hue as it bended inwards around my lady.

Even as my legs grew weaker, my hands started to sweating and my eyes itched by the inside of their orbits, i kept staring at my lady who was now touching her face as it went through a bizarre transformation, her once fair skin growing in mass and got itself darker, her hands fusing into her head as it pulsed larger and squirmed when the flames engulfed her body.

Her body now a spherical shape of a black sand like substance that danced and spinned like a dim flame in a lamp, it bursted into a explosion of darkness that made the air feel like the suffocating air of a room with no doors and windows, before it floated away like a billion starts moving towards the moon.

It was takeing over the full moon as the new emperor of the night sky, it's hue of darkness made everything more clear than the moon had ever made the night visible in it's more bright hours.

While all of that happened, i felt my bones chill and hurt like i've run through hours on end, and my head throbbing in pain as my eyes begged to look away from the spectacle that was before them.

As if i was in the presence of a wild beast who could jump at any second to kill me, i felt this terrifying aura around my body that made my body scream in every away possible, as if it knew this balcony was not safe.

But i could not look away for one instant away because, even if that my lady had now begone through the tornado of darkness that was ascending in the sky and my body could not bear much of the relentless sensation of primal fear...

Deep in my heart who had sunk down to the depths of desperation and agony, like it knew death was rising right before my very eyes...

I could still feel the eyes of my lady staring back at me.
