How I Married The Prince Of Hell

How I Married The Prince Of Hell Ch.9

Chapter IX: A Ghost from the Past

         Its been two weeks since I began to play the role of Queen Viviana Straeh and being able to marry Luce which I now understand and am glad for that since I didn't forget my love for him, but now the only problem is that he doesn't know its me Vivian. And I'm scared to tell him since I know that he hates me as Vivian but as Queen Viviana he treats me with great respect but he won't touch me but at least I know that he is glad that I saved him from marrying Reina, and I'm glad I told her all those things it made me feel better. But actually while taking my daily walk around the courtyard I feel like everyone is starring at me in a weird way since their smiles seem a bit too staged than actual smiles and from time to time I can actually hear their thoughts and they aren't pretty. It seems like I made both friends and enemies which Reina being my number one enemy at the moment, "Queen Viviana let's get you out of the hellish pit fires ,shall we go inside instead?" I looked at Zedrick who was my most trusted person and who helped me a lot even though he says that my intensity was able to convince everyone else more than his own words. I was glad that I was actually good at playing my part but sometimes I felt as though it was hard because I wasn't who everyone else thought I was, "Queen Viviana it seems that your presence is needed in the Grand Hall." I began to wonder what was happening since it was odd for them to call me especially at such a time. I first went to my room to change into an appropriate outfit for the occasion in this case a beautiful black corset dress and a pair of really high 6 in heels that were killing me. "Queen Viviana its time the court is being addressed," I stood up as elegantly as I could and then faced Zedrick who I had heard was an year older then I was actually. I walked side by side with Zedrick to the Grand Hall where I had held the wedding ceremony but it was actually a church like podium that was also my throne room, and I was exhausted from walking to the Grand Throne Room Hall and apart from that I needed to walk up a long stair case. But that wasn't the least of my problems since the person sitting next to me was Luce and he looked amazingly hot as always and I was glad that he was my husband. "Now presenting our beloved Queen...Queen Viviana Straeh," I entered and there was a huge crowed of people unlike the last time in my wedding where there were only a few people. I got helped from Zedrick who help onto me as we walked up the stair case to my throne, and I noticed that Luce was already there. I sat on my throne and a servant near by placed my crown on my head and then bow down, I then sat down my heels were killing me and sometimes I had the feeling that Luce was watching me intently. Then everyone arrived and sat down but I wasn't paying attention to any of the guest since I kept on starring at a certain brunette that was hiding behind the curtains. But regardless I wasn't going to allow Reina to ruin my time here while I try and make Luce see me as me Vivian, but who knew when that would be. I finally snapped out from my trance like thinking only to have 100 or so demons watching me like I was about to give some bad news. I was guessing since that's how hell was being run by Satan all the time and the funny part of it all was that every time I mentioned Satan everyone would bow, and it made me laugh although I tried not to laugh out loud. "Tell me Zedrick what was the meaning of this gathering, and I didn't think it was going to be common people I thought you said it was going to be the main ministers of the 7 Hell gates." Everyone watched me with fear in their eyes although I was still uncertain why or what kind of person Queen Viviana Straeh was but even so she seemed like everyone feared her in one way or another. But then Zedrick spoke and I began to think that I was pushing the role of being Queen Viviana, "well your highness these are special demons of the Underworld court." I then cooled down and he continued with the meeting that I no longer began to care about plus Luce was taking care of everything so I didn't need to worry about anything. I was so bored that I began to count how many people were in the crowed as well as picking on demons, and from the corner of my eye I see an annoying demon which I knew too well who it was. I began to glare at Reina just as she glared at me and then she hid behind the curtains, and then I tried to compose myself and as I side glance to my right I watched as Luce was starring at me. I suddenly blushed and it was the first time that it had ever happened, it made me realized that maybe Luce was starting to fall for me as Queen Viviana and not as Vivian which scared me more than the thought. After a while the meeting had ended and Zedrick led me back towards my room before someone stopped me to ask questions, but I couldn't since the way Zedrick saw me I looked dreadful and I no longer felt well. But I was glad that I managed to hold out and not disappoint anyone by me not being here, I was so tired that my eyes couldn't stay open and I was about to trip while walking, but Zedrick steadied me and I continued walking gracefully towards the hallway. When I got to the hallway I suddenly straightened up because I saw Reina standing there in the middle not wanting move and I became upset as well as trying to look really healthy, and as I kept walking she didn't move not until we were face to face. That was when Zedrick reacted and pulled Reina away from me before there was a big cat fight, and they began to talk in hushed voices and I could only catch little phrases of their conversation, but I wasn't very certain because they also spoke in demon language. But after a while Reina looked beat and Zedrick started to lead me back to my room but as I got near Reina who stepped aside as I walked past her, she suddenly grabbed my arm and dug her nails into my flesh making me bleed and although it felt painful I didn't want to show it to her. Then she whispered something in my ear, "listen well Queen Viviana I will never surrender Prince Lucifer to you or anyone else, and another thing that crown belongs to me and I will take it back whatever the cost." With that I looked at her and began to laugh as if she was joking but she obviously wasn't and as soon as I felt her grip getting lighter she then let go of my arm and as she saw all the blood, she looked happy that she actually did some damage to even leave me with a permeant scar. But no it immediately healed just like it always did and now it was my turn to smile at her dumb founded expression, and continued to walk but then I stopped but without looking at Reina I said, "now listen to me Reina I'm not one for you to be messing with because I might as well be the devil himself...so watch what you say there is no second time or the second time maybe your last, and just so you know my name Viviana means Life so I can never die." I then began to walk away and as soon as Zedrick and I were far away from that hallway I began to lean on Zedrick I was no longer feeling good and I made it to my room to rest just in time too.
