Unfair Destiny
I'm Erza Scarlet,a Hero and I'm currently facing off against one of one of 8 demon lords and their 120 legions of army with my 20 legions.
But just as we were about to clash, someone appeared out of nowhere and started massacring the demon army with a maniacal laugh.
"Hahahahahaha, die, die you pieces of shits, hahahahaha" echoed through the battlefield.
Panic set in as the demon army turned tail and ran, shouting.
"Demon Lord Shun's gone mad and turned against us!"
The mysterious attacker was my brother Shun, who I thought I'd never see again.
But he's not the same - he's more mature, more handsome, and utterly merciless.
He's the new 9th demon Lord, and he kills for fun.
I got transported to another world, where I became the hero, but my mind was stuck on finding a way back to my brother.
But now, I'm not so sure that's necessary.
Shun stopped killing and looked at me, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He walked towards me, bloodied and radiating power, and dropped to one knee, taking my hand in his.
"Sweet sis, will you marry me?"
he asked, loud enough for everyone within 5 kilometers to hear.
As I stood there, a mix of shock and confusion etched on my face, Shun's words still echoed in my mind.
"W.w.Whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt"
I exclaimed, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Shun, stop fooling around and stand up! Look, they're surprised and confused at once, because of you, now they're all in shock."
Shun stood up, a charming smile spreading across his face.
"Hmm, hum, okay, but I was being serious, you know,"
he said, his eyes sparkling with amusement.
I couldn't help but smile back at him.
"Pffu, yeah, I know,"
I replied, my voice laced with a hint of sarcasm.
I reached out and ruffled his hair, feeling a sense of nostalgia wash over me.
"You've grown from cute to handsome,"
I said, my voice filled with a mix of surprise and pride.
Shun's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense.
"Well, you were already enchanting enough, but now you're even more stunning, sweet sis,"
he said, his voice low and husky.
The demon lord's voice cut through the tension, breaking the spell that had fallen over us.
"Hey, brat, what do you think you're doing by attacking my army?"
he snarled, his face twisted with rage.
Shun's laughter was the only response, echoing through the silence like a challenge.
"Ha ha ha hahahahahaha,"
he laughed, his eyes gleaming with mirth.
The demon lord's face darkened, his eyes flashing with anger.
"Why are you laughing? Didn't I give you orders to kill the hero and her subordinates, so I can crush the kingdom and kill all the humans?"
he spat, his voice venomous.
I put my right hand on my right eye, a crazy look on my face.
"Why I'm laughing, you asked. I don't know either, myself"
"What?"
I replied, my voice dripping with sarcasm.
Shun's laughter died down, and he looked at me with a serious expression.
"Maybe, the reason behind my laughing would be, that I found out my sister is still alive,"
he said, his voice filled with emotion.
"No, I'm laughing at my stupidity, for assuming my sister was dead, while being oblivious to the fact, that my sister was, with me this whole time, hahahahhaaha."
The demon lord's eyes widened in shock.
"Did you go crazy?"
he asked, his voice laced with fear.
Shun's grin was back, but this time it was twisted and menacing.
"Crazy you say, yeah, I think I have,"
he replied, his voice dripping with malice.
The demon lord took a step back, his eyes darting between Shun and me.
"Do you know, what would happen to you, if you defy my commands?"
he asked, his voice shaking with fear.
Shun's response was immediate.
"I don't, and I don't care, the only one is allowed to command me is my sister,"
he said, his eyes locked onto mine.
I looked at Shun, a mix of emotions swirling inside me.
"Sweet sis, I'm going to go berserk here, so tell your soldiers to retreat back, okay?"
he asked, his voice filled with a hint of desperation.
The air was thick with tension, the silence between us almost palpable.
As I gave the command,
"Soldiers, fall back 10 kilometers,"
the sound of retreating footsteps echoed through the battlefield.
The soldiers replied in unison,
"Yes, commander,"
their voices a mixture of relief and concern.
Shun's gaze met mine, his eyes filled with worry.
"Sweet sis, you're hurt, you should go too,"
he said, his voice laced with a hint of desperation.
I shook my head, my determination unwavering.
"No, you're also hurt and you're drained of power too, so I'll fight too,"
I replied, my voice firm and resolute.
Shun's face softened, and a charming smile spread across his face.
"Sweet sis, don't worry, now that you're here, I feel stronger than I've ever been,"
he said, his eyes shining with conviction.
"So would you please allow me to handle this?"
I sighed, trying to hide my smile, but my heart skipped a beat at his words.
"....haahh, how can I say no, when you ask like that?"
I replied, my voice barely above a whisper.
Shun's eyes lit up, and he took a step closer to me.
"Really?"
he asked, his voice filled with excitement.
"But on one condition,"
I added, my voice firm, trying to regain some composure.
Shun's curiosity was piqued.
"What kind of condition?"
he asked, his eyebrows raised.
"I'll stay here and watch over you,"
I replied, my eyes locked onto his, a silent challenge in my gaze.
Shun's face softened, and he let out a gentle sigh.
".....sigh, ok, you win, you can stay, but first come a bit closer,"
he said, his voice low and husky, sending shivers down my spine.
"Why?"
I asked, my heart racing, my mind racing with possibilities.
"Don't ask, just come,"
Shun replied, his eyes sparkling with amusement, his voice dripping with persuasion.
I approached him cautiously, my heart pounding in my chest.
As I drew near, he wrapped his arms around me, embracing me tightly but gently.
"..huh..s..shun, w..what are you doing?"
I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper, my face flushing with heat.
"Sweet sis, stay still for a sec,"
Shun whispered, his breath tickling my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
My heart was racing, and I could feel my face growing hotter by the second.
As I was about to ask what he was doing, he kissed me on the forehead. Suddenly, my injuries healed, and my magic powers were restored.
Shun pulled back, a mischievous grin on his face.
"Sweet sis, what happened? Why is your face still red?"
he asked, his eyes sparkling with laughter, his voice dripping with amusement. 😏
As his face hovered mere inches from mine, his warm breath caressed my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.
"Your injuries and magic powers got restored, but your face is beat red, do you have a fever?"
he asked, his voice laced with concern, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief.
I shook my head, trying to regain my composure, to push back the emotions swirling inside me like a tempest.
"N..no, I don't have a fever,"
I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper, my face burning with a fiery blush.
"The reason my face is beat red... it's because... you look way too h...h..hhhhhooooooot."
Shun's eyes widened, a mischievous glare flashing across his face, making my heart skip a beat like a drum solo.
"No..I'm fine, give me some space,"
I said, trying to push him away, to create some distance between us, to escape the gravitational pull of his presence.
"O.ok,"
Shun replied, releasing me, but not before I caught a glimpse of a knowing glare in his eyes, a glare that said he knew exactly what he was doing to me, a glare that left me feeling exposed and vulnerable.
But I didn't have time to think about it, because the next thing I knew, he was using creation magic to conjure up a feast fit for a queen.
Strawberry cake, tea, parfaits... and a chair and table, all appearing out of thin air, filling the air with the sweet scent of sugar and spices, transporting me to a world of indulgence and pleasure.
Before I could even process what was happening, Shun had scooped me up and was carrying me like a princess to the table, his arms strong and gentle, making me feel delicate and fragile, like a precious gemstone.
"Hey..shun s..stop that, put me down!"
I exclaimed, my heart pounding in my chest, my face flushing with heat, my senses overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of the moment.
He just smiled and set me down in the chair, gesturing to the spread before me, his eyes sparkling with amusement, his face a mask of innocence.
"There you go, now you can eat your favorite sweets, strawberry cake, tea and parfaits, comfortably, while you watch me demolish them,"
he said, his voice dripping with teasing, his eyes laughing at me, challenging me to resist the temptation.
I glared at him, trying to catch my breath, trying to process the emotions swirling inside me like a maelstrom.
"Wait, Shun..how did you..."
"I'll explain everything later, for now sit down and enjoy your favorite sweets, ok?"
he said, his voice soft and persuasive, his eyes pleading with me to comply, to surrender to the moment, to let go of my inhibitions and indulge in the sweetness of the moment.
