The Seventh Year of the Demon King’s Captivity of the Holy Sovereign

In the year 891 of the Great Radiance Calendar, a new Demon King was born at the bottom of the Abyss. An evil race sealed away for more than two hundred years emerged from the Abyss. Humanity was no match for them and retreated at every turn. When the enemy army reached the royal city, the Holy Sovereign of humanity fought the Demon King alone for three days and three nights. The God of Light’s protection never came, and at last the Holy Sovereign was exhausted and defeated. The desperate people insulted and scorned him, insisting his faith must be impure. They even questioned their faith itself, letting the flames consume Brett Temple. Three days later, the demon army inexplicably withdrew. The Holy Sovereign vanished along with them. The people, filled with regret, searched everywhere, but no one knew where their always-kind young king had gone. Spring winds melted the snow piled on the temple ruins, and autumn winds buried the withered herbs. It is said that, in exchange for withdrawing his army, the Demon King took a human as his spoils of war and slave. The slave had violet eyes and a smile touched with sadness. He looked just like the former Holy Sovereign who had once lived in the temple. . Many years later, one afternoon, flowers bloomed in the Gasso Abyss. The slave had planted them himself. At the time, the Demon King had mocked him mercilessly, because flowers from the human world never bloomed in the Abyss. But they really did bloom, and the Demon King was delighted. He thought of how he had once used the slave to vent his hatred and inflict pain on him. Now, after all those years, they had become close enough to lean against each other and admire the flowers. The Demon King decided he could be a little kinder to his slave from now on. Perhaps he could stop making him a slave, choose an auspicious day, and crown him queen. Lanmiauer rested his head quietly on the Demon King’s shoulder, his eyes bright and clear. Seven years had passed since he entered this dark abyss, like a long dream. Now he knew that he was at the end of his strength and would soon die. But today, he had the good fortune to see the Abyss bloom with flowers like a tapestry. He thought he could die in peace. “I came to the Abyss to plant a flower for you, and atone for my sins.” *, * Pairing: Demon King seme x Holy Sovereign uke ★ Exclusively published on Jinjiang Literature City.
