She didn't dare to look directly at the emperor and said with a rather timid voice " my lord I ask for your forgiveness, I had no intention on breaking this rule as I didn't know that you already have occupied this land."
" My lord I also think of my subject, we have been chased by the saints and if we are captured we will be enslaved , my lord I ask for your understanding "
Mia who heard this felt bad for the woman, she held lionheart hand to which lionheart understood her intentions.
" It is not that I don't understand your situation as I face a similar situations, yet I am unable to think of a clear path to which I can take you under my rule and even if I did would your pride allow that, answer my O queen of dark elves "
Everyone understood the meaning behind lionheart words, dark elves are extremely prideful and they would rather die than submit yet now faced with such difficulty the queen of dark elves had see this through.
Beelzebub who was witnessing this was tensed, he had a strange sense of protecting the woman yet he couldn't do anything , it was because of a simple reason, she remindded him of his late wife.
Lionheart who can feel the tense emotions of all his demonic creatures naturally felt this emotions of Beelzebub.
The dark elve queen bowed again and said " my lord , please have mercy on us. As a monarch myself it is but humiliating thing to bow but yet I do so for the betterment of my people "
Lionheart looked at the dark elve queen and Beelzebub and said " it's by the rule of ancient time that I can't allow any race to come under my rule beside the demonic creatures"
Everyone in the royal court understood this, Beelzebub now knew what might happen next, he held his sword ready to receive the commend of his lord.
He closed his eyes , the other generals saw this also and sighed, such unfortunate thing.
Beelzebub was the person who executed and it was duty to fulfil his loyalty.
The dark elv queen also understood the situation and her eyes also closed, waiting for the next word.
Tears rolled down her face, she didn't know what will happen next to her clan..she knew that this was almost 99% possibility yet she came here for a little hope.
Asura was also puzzled, he thought that his lord would allow them to come under his control yet he was not the person to complain and could only sigh.
Lionheart spoke " I didn't want to do this queen of dark elves , you understand where I am going with this"
The queen of dark elves didn't say anything as she waited for lionheart to continue, her eyes was covered in tears.
She couldn't even fight back, this was not something that was possible now.
" From this moment on I declare that the queen of dark elves and general Beelzebub shall be married this very moment"
Beelzebub who was ready to kill was stunned, what he uttered .
Everyone in the court was beyond confused, this was not something they had seen coming.
The queen of dark elves was also confused, what just happened, she was ready to die as she had given up on her life yet such different event had unfolded before her eyes.
She looked at Lionheart and said " my lord I don't understand"
Lionheart nodded and said " the rule also stated that through marriage a race could be taken under my rule so am simply doing this, I haven't forgotten the acts of the dark elves of the past and naturally I wouldn't allow such disrespect to happen "
Every demonic being who was present in the moment understood this, they nodded in acknowledgment.
" What do you say I queen of dark elves, would you marry my general or face death'
The queen of dark elves stood up, she wiped her tears away and said " I am willing my lord"
Beelzebub didn't know how to act, he was stunned. Such event was not something he would thought yet now it was here. The woman he liked was now getting married to him.
The 3 other generals scoffed and said " look at that Beelzebub, it's seems you have a woman for yourself"
Quickly Beelzebub was ordered to come before Lionheart, through which a demonic rings was given to both of them.
" Put those ring on each other, I would consider this as a ought of all dark elves coming under my rule"
Beelzebub looked at the queen of dark elves, before he put the ring in her. He gently wiped her tears away which stunned the queen of dark elves.
" I deeply apologize for this o queen of dark elves, I am but a general but I swear on my life I shall treat you good yet I won't promise anything beyond this'
As he said this he gently held her hands and put the ring on her ring finger,May I be honoured to know your humble name said as he kissed her hands.
The queen of dark elves was taken back by this yet she didn't complain, this man who was almost 2 feet taller looked at her as she was treasure itself. She replied with a soft voice " my name is Eli"
Beelzebub nodded and said " it's is my honor my wife"
Lionheart looked at this and smiled, such was love he thought. His hands was also held by Mia.
She looked at the direction of lionheart and said softly " I loved how you handled this but now seeing that you married of one of your subordinate, i also want to get married to you."
Lionheart smiled and gently lifted Mia up and said while pitching her cheeks " soon my love soon"
So the marriage concluded and through this the dark elves came under direct rule of lionheart but he allowed the queen of dark elves to have control yet she had to report and make sure to follow demonic rule .
Through this 20 thousands elves was now under lionheart, this was quickly made known to the dark elves village. Understanding the situation they all had to agree.
Lionheart who was now back to his house, laid down beside his queen and said gently.
" You said you wanted to marry, why would you want to marry a demon like me."
Mia nestled down in his warm embrace and said " I don't care if you are a demon or human, for me you are the man that I love and yes I do want to marry you"
Lionheart laughed and said " my queen , sleep, we will talk about this someday later"
Mia scoffed and closed her eyes, lionheart gently held her and he also soon enough slept.
