The Devil's Bride~

Jasmine is a princess who has lived her life locked away in an abandoned tower, hidden and isolated from the rest of the kingdom. Born to a maid who had an affair with the king, she is considered a disgrace and of low birth. Jasmine has always wished to leave the tower one day and live a normal life with the rest of the kingdom. On the day she is released from the old tower, Jasmine thinks her father and the rest of the royal family have finally accepted her. But how could she have imagined she would face a worse fate? How could she have ever known she was going to be married off to the King of Velmont? King Hades. The Devil. The most dreaded being, spoken of only in whispers and shadows. Within the forbidden walls of the castle of Velmont, he resided in darkness. Legends claimed he was the most terrifying being to have ever existed. Tales spoke of his deadly pair of crimson eyes that burned maliciously in the dark. Some said his body was covered in thick black scales, with demonic, bat-like wings erupting from his back. Others swore long horns protruded from his head, elongated canines bared from his mouth, and sharp nails extended from his fingers. He was the personification of danger. But no one had ever truly seen him, for if anyone so much as caught a glimpse of the king, they mysteriously disappeared forever. Jasmine expected a fate worse than death. She did not expect to survive a single day in a kingdom filled with monsters and darkness—let alone marry a man believed to be the Devil. Yet on the day she arrived at Velmont, this rumored Devil ruthlessly beheaded a noble who attempted to drink her blood. And when she finally caught a glimpse of the eyes of the monster she had been forced to marry, they were not crimson. They were silver. And they were the most enchanting pair of eyes she had ever seen.
