After the intense battle with Clayman, the demon lords gathered once more to discuss the future of their lands. Horimiya, Milim, Ramiris, Frey, and Carrion sat at the center of the meeting, their auras calm yet powerful.

“We’ve all fought together, and we’ve seen what uniting our strength can accomplish,” Frey began, her sharp eyes scanning the room. “It only makes sense for us to join forces fully—to combine our territories and work as one.”

Carrion nodded in agreement. “With our lands united under the Octagram, we’ll be able to ensure peace and stability. No more senseless wars. Only growth.”

Hori and Miyamura shared a look, silently acknowledging the magnitude of this decision. They had come far from their humble beginnings, and now they stood at the center of a powerful alliance that could change the course of history.

“I agree,” Miyamura said, his voice steady. “By uniting our territories, we’ll be able to protect our people and ensure that no one else has to suffer the way we did.”

Milim clapped her hands together, her usual boundless energy bubbling over. “Yay! This is going to be so much fun! We’ll all work together and make things even better!”

Ramiris fluttered around, her tiny wings buzzing with excitement. “Yep! With all of us working together, no one will dare challenge the Octagram!”

The decision was made, and the alliance between their territories was forged. The impact of such a decision rippled through the room, with everyone present realizing the significance of what had just been achieved. Peace, prosperity, and unity were now within their reach.

That night, a massive banquet was held to celebrate their victory and the newly formed alliance. The great hall of Tempest was filled with laughter, cheers, and the clinking of glasses. Everyone was in high spirits, toasting to Horimiya and their friends for leading them through the trials and hardships.

Cheers echoed through the room. “To Lord Miyamura and Lady Hori! To the new era of peace!” Voices raised in unison as everyone applauded, the celebration turning into a lively, almost chaotic scene of dancing, singing, and laughter.

While everyone was lost in the excitement, Miyamura quietly approached Hori, who was standing by the side, smiling at the festivities. Without saying a word, he gently took her hand, giving her a knowing look. “Come with me,” he whispered, pulling her away from the crowd.

Curious but trusting, Hori followed him without hesitation. They slipped away unnoticed, the noise of the celebration fading into the background as they stepped outside into the cool night air. The stars twinkled above them, and a soft breeze swept through the trees, making the moment feel peaceful and intimate. Miyamura was serious and a lot of thoughts were in his mind and he was nervous than usual.

They ascended the stairs to the top of the castle, stepping out into the cool night air. The view from the rooftop was breathtaking. The kingdom of Tempest sprawled out below them, bathed in the soft glow of lanterns and the twinkling stars overhead. Hori gasped in awe, her eyes wide as she admired the beauty of the night.

"It's beautiful," she whispered, her voice filled with wonder as she gazed at the world they had built together.

But before she could say more, she felt Miyamura’s grip tighten gently around her hand. She turned to him, only to find him slowly kneeling down before her, his hands still holding hers. Her heart skipped a beat.

"M-Miyamura…?" she stammered, her eyes wide with surprise.

Miyamura looked up at her, his gaze filled with love and passion. His voice was soft, but every word was laced with emotion. "Hori… I’ve been thinking about this moment for a long time," he began, his voice trembling slightly. "Since the day we met, my life has been filled with so much more than I ever imagined. You brought light into my world, even when I didn’t know I needed it."

Hori’s breath caught in her throat, her heart racing as she listened to his heartfelt words.

“We’ve fought side by side, we’ve built a kingdom together, and we’ve faced impossible challenges. But through it all, you were my strength. My anchor. You’ve always been the one who kept me grounded, the one I could lean on, no matter what.”

Tears began to well in Hori’s eyes as she watched him, her chest swelling with emotion. She hadn’t expected this, hadn’t even thought about it, but now she could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on her, beautiful and overwhelming all at once.

“I never imagined we’d be here, in this world, leading these people and building something so incredible. But none of it would mean anything without you. You’re the reason I keep going, the reason I want to protect this place. Because it’s our home. A home we’ve made together."

Miyamura’s voice cracked slightly as he continued, his grip on her hands tightening. "Hori… I love you. More than anything in this world or the next. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you, no matter where that takes us."

With trembling hands, Miyamura reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened it, revealing a stunning diamond ring that sparkled like the stars above them. Hori gasped, her hand flying to her mouth as tears finally spilled down her cheeks.

"Hori," Miyamura whispered, his voice filled with love and devotion. "Will you marry me?"

For a moment, Hori was too overwhelmed to speak. Her heart felt like it might burst from the sheer joy and emotion flooding through her. She looked down at Miyamura, the man she had loved for so long, the man who had been her partner in everything, and felt her chest tighten with happiness.

"Y-Yes," she whispered, her voice trembling as she nodded through her tears. "Yes, Miyamura, I will."

Miyamura’s face lit up with pure joy as he gently took her hand and slid the ring onto her finger. Hori stared at it for a moment, still in awe, before looking back at him, her tears of happiness flowing freely.

They stood there for a moment, simply looking at each other, before Hori threw her arms around him, pulling him close. Miyamura held her tightly, his heart pounding in his chest as he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.

As they pulled back slightly, their eyes met, and without another word, they leaned in, their lips meeting in a passionate, tender kiss. It was a kiss filled with all the love, all the memories, and all the promises of the future they would share.

When they finally pulled apart, both of them were smiling through their tears. Hori leaned her head on Miyamura’s shoulder, their hands intertwined as they stood together, gazing out at the kingdom they had built with so much love and hard work.

“The stars are beautiful tonight,” Hori whispered softly, her voice filled with contentment.

“They are,” Miyamura agreed, resting his cheek against her hair. “But you’re the most beautiful thing in my world.”

Hori blushed, smiling at his words, and they both stood there, soaking in the peaceful night, the distant lights of their kingdom twinkling below. The world felt perfect in that moment, with just the two of them, hand in hand, gazing at the sky and the future they would create together.

After that they had a romantic dance on top of their palace. They were looking in each other's eyes with pure love and passion for each other. And the background was also very beautiful with stars in the night sky. They were lost in their world, happy for having each other by their side. And at end of dance they touch their foreheads , closing their eyes and feeling the presence of each other.

As the night grew quieter, they stayed there, wrapped in each other’s warmth, their hearts full. The love between them was stronger than ever, and as they kissed once more under the stars, they knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together. And admire their people celebrating down in the whole kingdom. And they see them by hori leaning on miyamura shoulder and miyamura caress her hair.
