the demon Prince's accidental bride

🏛️ Inside the Temple of Truth

Talia stared at Orien, the silver-eyed stranger who had just claimed she was the last of the Moonblood line.

Mira: "So let me get this straight... she's basically the magical version of a nuclear bomb?"

Orien (dead serious): "Yes. If she awakens fully, either realms will unite… or collapse."

Talia: "And you couldn't have told me that before I touched the cursed mirror?!"

🔥 Meanwhile: Flame Castle

Lucien stood before the throne, a storm in his crimson eyes.

Lucien: "She was always meant to choose me. But now… Kael's interfering."

Varic: "Shall I summon the Night Hunters?"

Lucien: "No. I'll go myself."

He vanished into shadows… the ground scorched beneath his feet.

Kael appeared at the gates of the Temple of Truth, his eyes silver, his aura calm but sharp as steel.

The guards raised their weapons.

Kael: "I am not here to destroy. I am here for her."

Inside the temple, Talia shivered.

> She felt him.

Orien: "He's here."

Mira (nervous): "Is it too late to hide behind a pillar?"

💥 Showdown in the Chamber of Echoes

Lucien arrived at the same time Kael stepped into the main hall.

Two powerful auras collided—fire and moonlight.

Talia: "Lucien? Kael?"

Kael: "You remember me, don't you?"

Lucien: "Step away from her."

Kael: "You chained her powers. You tried to erase her bloodline."

Lucien: "I saved her."

Talia stood between them. "STOP! I'm not some prize to be claimed!"

> Her voice echoed.

The ground shook.

And suddenly—a burst of energy threw both men back.

🏠 Meanwhile on Earth: Talia's Family

Talia's mom, Irene, paced nervously. Her husband, Reyan, stared at a glowing orb.

Irene: "We made a mistake hiding the truth."

Reyan: "She deserved a normal life."

A familiar voice interrupted—

Grandma Aria, who hadn't spoken in years, suddenly said:

> "The Moonblood has awakened. And so has the curse."

Irene gasped.

Reyan: "Mom… you can talk?"

Grandma Aria: "I could always talk. I just didn't want to deal with your messy love triangle problems."

---

🏛️ Back in the Temple

Talia sat between Kael and Lucien, both recovering from the magical blast.

Talia: "Alright. One of you is a demon prince. The other's a moon warrior. I'm apparently part Moonblood, part mystery. Someone tell me—WHAT. IS. GOING. ON?"

Kael stepped forward.

Kael: "You and I were soul-bound before Lucien ever found you."

Lucien clenched his fists.

Lucien: "She chose me. Not fate. Not some ritual."

Orien: "ENOUGH."

He raised a staff and cast a circle around Talia.

Orien: "Only one way to test her truth—the Memory Trial."

Talia stepped into the circle.

Images flooded her mind—

A silver-haired girl dancing in the moonlight.

A demon with soft eyes giving her a red flower.

A kiss under eclipse-lit skies.

A scream. A blade. Darkness.

She fell to her knees.

> "I loved… both of them?"

Mira (watching): "Oh no. She's starring in her own soap opera now."

Just as Orien stepped forward to pull her out, the mirror cracked.

A black mist poured out—a cursed entity had awakened.

Lucien's eyes widened. "No. Not now."

Kael drew his blade. "We have to protect her."

Talia whispered, eyes still glowing—

> "They're coming for me."

The Mirror Breaks

The moment the ancient mirror cracked, darkness hissed into the chamber like a living storm.

Talia screamed as the black mist began coiling around her like tendrils of smoke.

Lucien: "Talia! Get away from it!"

Kael: "No, don't touch her—it's soul-bound to her memories!"

Orien's staff glowed, but even his magic flickered like a candle in a hurricane.

> From the mist… a voice echoed—

"Moonblood must pay."

🏡 Meanwhile – On Earth

Grandma Aria stood in the middle of the living room, her eyes completely white.

Irene: "Maa… what's happening to Talia?!"

Grandma Aria: "The Echo has awakened. Talia must choose now—truth, or protection."

Reyan: "What does that mean?"

Aria: "It means... the lies we buried are clawing back to the surface."

Just then, the old family photo album slid off the shelf—pages flipping open by themselves. A picture of Talia as a child glowed faintly.

---

🏛️ Back in the Temple

Talia fell to her knees, her body glowing with both lunar energy and demonic heat.

Kael: "Her soul's being tested. If she breaks, she'll become… one of them."

Lucien stepped into the mist without hesitation. Kael followed.

Mira, watching from behind a pillar:

Mira: "Oh great. Both her magical boyfriends are playing 'Save the Moon Princess' while I—her completely underqualified friend—might just explode from secondhand trauma."

She picked up a shiny blade: "Welp. Guess I'm a warrior now."

💔 Inside the Mist Realm

Lucien and Kael were trapped in Talia's fragmented memories.

They saw visions:

A five-year-old Talia crying at night, whispering, "Don't let the shadows take me…"

Irene and Reyan standing before a witch, handing her a blood vial.

A teenage Talia unknowingly sealing a contract with Lucien on the night of the eclipse.

Kael: "They wiped her past…"

Lucien clenched his jaw. "They took everything."

Inside a glowing chamber, Talia stood before two paths:

1. Moon's Path – A peaceful forest bathed in silver light.

2. Fire's Path – A volcanic road, wild and blazing.

A third voice whispered behind her ear:

> "There is a third path, child. The path of truth. But it demands pain."

Talia turned. A hooded woman stood before her.

Talia: "Who are you?"

The woman pulled back her hood—it was a version of herself, older, scarred, and glowing with dark power.

Talia: "That's not me."

Shadow-Talia: "Oh, but it could be. If you break."

Outside the Realm

The temple was crumbling as the black mist spread. Orien and Mira tried sealing the gateway, but the ground cracked beneath them.

Mira: "Not to sound dramatic, but we're literally all going to die if your ancient magical defenses don't kick in right now!"

Orien: "We're trying, mortal!"

Mira: "Don't 'mortal' me like I'm not out here risking my eyebrows for your moonblood prophecy!"

❤️ Inside the Soul Realm

Lucien reached Talia first. She looked at him, tears in her glowing eyes.

Talia: "You lied to me. You knew I was more than just your 'bride.'"

Lucien: "I wanted to protect you. From them. From Kael. From your power."

Kael appeared beside her. "And I wanted you to remember who you were. Even if that meant losing you."

Talia (whispering): "I don't know who to trust anymore…"

Suddenly—Shadow-Talia lunged at her with a blade made of memory.

Lucien and Kael jumped forward at once.

Kael: "Choose now, Talia!"

Lucien: "We can't protect you from yourself!"

Talia closed her eyes…

And then grabbed the blade herself.

> "I won't run anymore. I'll forge my own truth."

A pulse of pure light blasted outward, throwing Kael and Lucien out of the realm.

The mist shattered.

The mirror exploded.

Talia hovered in mid-air, glowing from head to toe, her voice echoing:

> "I remember everything."

Then she collapsed.

Temple Infirmary – The Morning After

Talia's eyes slowly opened. With a dull ache in her head, she saw—the moon was still full beyond the glass ceiling. But inside her… something had changed.

Her body bore strange marks, as if an ancient seal had left its imprint on her.

Lucien was beside her, with no sleep in his eyes… only guilt.

Lucien: "You're awake…"

Talia: "I remember… everything."

The emotions Lucien had kept hidden were now exposed—the truth he never shared, and the lies he told only to protect her.

🧠 Flashbacks

Everything was spinning in Talia's memories:

Mother Irene making a contract with the darkness.

Grandmother Aria placing salt and candles around her bed every eclipse.

Father Reyan always keeping his distance, as if something else lived inside her.

Talia (angrily): "They didn't raise a daughter. They raised a time bomb."

Lucien: "Talia—"

Talia: "And you... you married me just to contain my power?"

Lucien (softly): "No. I married you to protect the only thing that's ever felt real to me."

Reyan's house was now the epicenter of tension. Grandmother Aria sat in front of the temple, holding an old relic—a moon sigil locket with strange ancient symbols.

Irene: "She knows, doesn't she?"

Aria (tears in her eyes): "We should've told her when she turned 16."

Reyan: "You think a teenager could've handled the truth? That she was born during a cursed eclipse? That she's part moon goddess, part demon bride?"

Mira's Mom (entering dramatically): "And part FREAKING LEGEND, apparently!"

Everyone turned to stare.

Mira's Mom (grinning): "What? I read her prophecy scroll by accident. I was looking for the cookie recipes."

Kael, wounded and slightly emotional, was swinging his sword in the demon warriors' training yard.

General Drax: "You're distracted, Prince."

Kael: "She chose to remember... and now, she might choose him."

Drax: "You want her as your queen?"

Kael: "I want her to survive. Even if she never chooses me."

Suddenly, an infernal bell rang. That only meant one thing—

"The Demon Council has summoned her."

🏰 Back at the Temple –

As Talia walked down the temple steps, Orien and Mira flank mein the.

Mira (rolling eyes): "No pressure, bestie. Just the fate of two realms hanging on your mood swings."

Talia (smiling faintly): "Thanks for the pep talk."

Just then, the temple gate opened—and her family walked in.

Talia froze. Reyan, Irene, and Aria… all saamne the.

Talia (coldly): "So now you decide to show up?"

Irene: "We came to explain."

Talia: "Too late. I'm not the scared little girl anymore. I'm the demon prince's bride, remember?"

Reyan: "You're our daughter!"

Talia: "No. I'm your experiment."

Suddenly—Aria collapsed. Her eyes turned pitch black.

Aria: "It's coming. The real darkness. And it knows her name."

Lucien and Kael bring Talia before the Demon Council—9 shadowy figures, cloaked in ancient energy.

Council Head: "The Eclipse Child lives. The old prophecy activates."

Council Member 2: "Her memories must be sealed again."

Talia (fiercely): "I won't be silenced."

Kael: "Then they'll come for your soul."

Lucien: "Not if I invoke Bride's Rights."

Gasps across the chamber.

Talia: "Bride's Rights?"

Lucien: "If I claim her officially before the Demon Moon… they can't touch her."

Kael (growling): "You're using her again."

Lucien: "I'm saving her."

Talia looked between the two powerful men—both willing to fight for her. But at what cost?

As the chamber trembled, a black feather fell from the ceiling.

A demonic raven flew in… with a scroll in its claws.

Lucien grabbed it and unrolled the parchment. His eyes widened.

Lucien: "No... it can't be."

Kael: "What is it?"

Lucien handed it to Talia.

She read aloud:

> "The Moonblood will wed again... or the Real Bride shall awaken."

Talia: "Real... bride?"

Suddenly her body glowed faintly with silver and crimson flames.

Mira (offscreen): "OKAY, I officially want a refund on this magical mess."

In Episode 16

Who is the "Real Bride"?

A war declaration shakes both worlds.

Mira finds out she might have powers too?!

And Talia must decide—claim the throne or break the prophecy forever.
