chapter-1

"BAEKHYUN!!!"

The demon seated on the high throne called out.

"Y-Yes father?" Baekhyun, a lean demon, made his way towards the demon seated in front of him.

"I don't know how to say this but, You remember what I told you yes?" the older demon asked questioningly as Baekhyun's eyes lowered to the ground with tears threatening to fall.

"Yes father. I agree." The boy bowed down to the older and made his way out only to be questioned by his brothers as to what his decision was.

"Baekhyun?" The doe eyed demon asked the crying demon as he pulled him into a hug and rubbed soothing circles on his back.

"I had to Kyungie, I had to. " Baekhyun replied sobbing on Kyungsoo's shoulder as they stayed like that for sometime until Kyungsoo lifted his chin up to face him.

"Don't worry, little bro. Everything will be alright okay?" Kyungsoo assured, smiling and raising an eyebrow.

"Y-yeah, okay." The smaller magenta haired demon replied as he rubbed his tears and produced a fake smile.

But deep down Kyungsoo couldn't get rid of the conflicting thought that Baekhyun was to be married to the enemy side and maybe be killed because of that and this might be the last time he will see his youngest brother.

Baekhyun made his way towards the great hall and slipped inside, avoiding unwanted attention from the rest of his 200+ demon family.

He sat in a corner and enjoyed the view of his family one last time and sighed deeply.

When suddenly, he was enveloped in a bear hug by his sister, Yunah,

"Noona! LEGH ME GHO!!" Baekhyun shouted at the top of his lungs, but didn't have an effect on the woman who just hugged him tighter.

"What? Can't I hug my cute little brother at all?" Yunah protested as she gingerly lifted his face to give him a full, 'kiss-to-the-lips'

"OI! NOONA!!" Baekhyun screamt, furiously sanitizing his lips, making them red.

"You better get used to that, coz your husband is gonna do it to you all the time..."

At the mention of the word 'husband', Baekhyun let his smile fall of and fade away as he remembered his purpose of being born.

"Aww, don't get all sad Baekieboo, I'm pretty sure he's hot. Plus Your the first ever to get married at such a young age!" Yunah replied seeing that Baekhyun wasn't enjoying the conversation one bit.

"Easy for you to say Noona. You knew who your husband was when you got married. I don't even know who I'm getting married to. I asked Father about it and he told me that even he has no idea and that he had asked the other side to at least show the groom, but they refused saying that they don't want to taint him before being married with the sight of my face! I don't know what they'd do once I enter his household."

Baekhyun replied with sadness clearly radiating out with his demon aura, bringing tears to his eyes and sorrow into Yunah's.

The went on very slowly, with Baekhyun and his entire band of brothers get him a tailored suit to wear and getting through the customs of marriage between demons.

"Okay look.." Jongdae said as he demanded attention from the younger and his brothers around him "Let's go through this again. Baekhyun, when you start the walk towards the stage, in the aisle, there will be a lot of demons trying to touch you in inappropriate ways and places.."

It was true. Baekhyun was the most priced possession the demon kingdom had. With his fair face, pointed nose and chin, sweet smile, beautiful black, curved wings and a smooth black tail, he was perfect. But what drove the other demons mad at the sight of the boy, was the virgin aura that seeped through him and that had caused a lot of problems for the boy. The previous demon tutors he had, all had tried to touch him and taint him in various ways and, due to which, his father was forced to ban visitors to his room and he had been in isolation for a long time, 150 years to be exact.

"...So I advice you that you make your way quickly but gracefully towards the stage. When the whole procession is done, we will guide you and the groom towards a room we have previously prepared and, well, you'll spend your night there..." Jongdae teased the boy, earning a bright red visible blush from the younger,and a whole lot of smirks and comments from the rest.

"...also, the next day, you will be leaving to heaven so be careful. Demons aren't allowed in there, we all know that very well what had happened to the minor demon who had made his way there. So be careful. We don't know as of now what would happen if a higher class demon stayed there. Do remember that you have to have sex at some point..."

The boys around him gave 'the-look' to Baekhyun who had the same blush from before.

"...and that's the only way to seal the deal. So, if you hear any rude remarks from the angel's side, dismiss it and make him love you, no matter what. I haven't seen one for a long time so I don't know how they look currently, but they are still gorgeous I have heard so it mustn't be so hard. Yes?"

"S-Surely hyung"

The boy made his way towards his room, at the far end of the castle, and laid down in bed, immersed in his own thoughts.

'Tomorrow is the day huh Baekhyun? What will you do now?'

Baekhyun turned his face away from the window showcasing a red moon and slept.
