nThe hidden village, three days before Richard's wedding,

n

"Philip...

" she called his name softly caressing his hair gently and bringing his long strand of hair to his ear.

nHe rubbed his eyes when hearing Marinette waking him up with such a beautiful tone, his body wasn't in much pain when he woke up.

n

"Marinette...??

" he murmured the name of the beautiful lady in front of his face, he was wondering what was the soft pillow he was sleeping on. It was warm.

n

"Let's redo our promise.

"

n

"What's that out of a sudden??

"

n

"Come on, just get up first. My thigh is sore now.

"

n

"??!!

" he got up immediately with the messy hair, he didn't even know how long had he been asleep. No, it was more like how long had it been since he could sleep peacefully without a care like earlier.

n

"How long have I...

"

n

"Four hours!!

"

n

"What??? Why don't you wake me up??!!

"

n

"I did...but...

" he hit his head cursing himself but Marinette held his hands and stared into his eyes.

nShe muttered in a soft tone,

"Let's redo the promise.

"

n

"What's the matter?

" she was strange that time.

nBut he agreed in the end when Marinette tried her best to persuade him.

nThey put the little finger together and then Marinette promised him,

"We'll survive! No, we'll win. After that, let's go to a town together, you have to treat me to a meal.

"

nHe laughed out loud hearing such a funny promise as if the sadness in his heart had already faded away.

n

"Why do you laugh?

"

n

"Instead of a meal, why don't we...go to the festival together?

"

n

"Yeah, that would be great!! Let's go see firework...oh, and the sea too.

"

n

"Puhahaha, we will build sandcastle there, and then we...blablabla.

" they kept making promises, and imagine the happiness if they managed to win the battle.

n

"I want to see a sheep too. Let's go there!!

" Marinette tossed all of her sadness and the fact she will die in a week into the lake and decided to enjoy the moment with him.

n

"But the empire will need a ruler, I will become the emperor...

" he was sulking for a moment turning his head down.

n

"Oh...and then...you will need an empress too.

" it was starting to get awkward, Marinette got up from the green grass to brush off the dirt for a moment.

nThe night breeze was so soothing brushing her hair as she waved Philip to go back to her hut. It was awkward to discuss something like Philip's empress.

nMarinette found that holding back the tear of her breaking heart was harder than the blood.

n

"Of course...it's for the empire...it's for his happiness...he will need an empress, and someone who will die like me...is.already out of the picture...

" tear rolling down on Marinette's cheek when she turned to Philip again from afar, to the guy her heart pounding for, to the guy who didn't say anything even she left.

nShe already assumed that Philip already had an empress in his mind, the one who will give him enough power to be a powerful emperor.

n

n

n

nThe words everyone telling her about her feeling this and that overwhelmed her till she fell on the grass before she reached her hut.

nShe sat on the hill under the big tree sobbing...and gradually, she finally said it,

"I love Philip. Not when I met him in Christmas...neither when he gave me the bread...it was...ever since I met him for the first time.

"

nShe found it ridiculous for her, who never believed in love at first sight to love someone when she saw them with just a glance.

nShe loved him, she really loved him. But the love was like a sword stabbing her heart to her back when she didn't have much longer to live.

nShe wasn't even sure herself that she ever could fight alongside him against Richard when the time comes.

nHer body was weak, she redid the promise because she didn't want to break the first promise.

n

"Marinette!!! Marinette!!!!

" she wiped her tear quickly when the love of her life called her name loudly from the direction of her hut.

n

"Philip??

"

n

"I finally found you!!

" he ran with a smile appearing on his face to the hill where Marinette stood.

nWhen he reached her, he put his hand on his knees breathing heavily after all the running, and then spoke to her desperately,

"Marinette, I--

"

n

"Philip, are you okay??

"

n

"Yes, yes...I'm okay. Did you...

" the moonlight shone on Marinette's face through the tree making Philip notice the tear on Marinette's eyes.

n

"No!! No, I didn't cry!!! I mean--something in my eyes!! I cried because of that--not because of anything else.

"

n

"Okay...

"

nShe sighed at how stupid she sounded to him, but then a big warm hand touched her blushing cheek making her flinch.

n

"I have something to tell you. I didn't get to tell you at the lake because I was a coward, I was scared that you will reject me...but...I want you to know...that I--

"

n

"Philip...

"

n

"I love you, Marinette. Be my empress--

" she kissed him sealing his lip with her soft pink lip, her mind was in chaos. She wanted that...she wanted Philip to love her...but also at the same time, she didn't want him to love her...she just wanted him to move on from her when she dies.

n

"Marinette...

" Marinette was on top of the sloppy kisser Philip who was panting out of breath under Marinette as she pushed him slowly on the ground.

nHis back was against the tree, the area was clear, no one was in sight, just two of them together.

n

"Philip...let's do it...

"

n

"You haven't answered me yet--

" she kissed him again but this time on his neck letting a slight moan escape his lip. Her bitemark remained on his right neck, Marinette was in a rush as she grabbed Philip's hair and then kissed him intensely shoving her tongue in.

n'Philip...thank you for loving me...at least...this is one thing I can do for you before I die.'

nAt that time, Philip who was erected by Marinette with his thing budging inside his pant didn't notice the magic circle around Marinette and all the curse marks on her back that appear for a second.

nLost Magic: Transfer Magic

n{I, Marinette Mortel signed the contract with the demon king Lucifer sacrificing all of my life force of this body in exchange for all my magic to go to Prince Philip de Anastasia when I die.}

n'Uwahaha!!!! Interesting!!! Interesting!!!'

nNo one knew, not a single soul knew except Marinette and the demon king who knew about the contract Marinette signed with the demon king.

nThe curse mark of the contract on Marinette's back disappeared and the magic transferring being with every kiss, the magic energy will flow inside Philip.

nThe mark disappeared right before the time Marinette unzipped her dress.

n'I hope your empress will treat you well, Philip...'

nWhen the sadness appeared in her eyes again, Philip noticed it, he was trying to stop the whole thing. It felt like he forced her. He felt guilty but Marinette didn't let him say anything when she pulled his collar and made him fall over her.

nIt was Marinette in the flesh below him, his pant was already wet, it kept twitching.

n

"Philip...don't you wanna do it??

" Marinette murmured to his ears in a seducing tone as she hugged his neck.

n

"...no...I can't...it felt like you're just forcing your feeling...I don't want that...I will rather be hurt than let you suffer like this...

" his tear dropped on Marinette's face who was frowning...her lip was shaking as her throat felt stuck unable to say anything...she wanted to say she loved him...but...

nPhilip grabbed Marinette's dress and covered Marinette who was only wearing the thin fabric in the cold night.

n

"...I just want you to know I love you...I don't need your answer right now.

"

n

"Philip...I want to do it with you.

" she hugged him tightly staring at the screen behind Philip's back.

nTranferring magic energy: 30%

/ Time Remaining: 30 minutes. if she didn't finish during the time remaining, Philip won't be able to get any of her magic.

n

"Marinette...you're not yourself tonight!!! What's wrong?? You can tell me!!

"

n

"I am myself!! What's wrong with me wanting to have s*x with you??!!!

" Prince Philip blushed in embarrassment.

n

"Are you always like this??

"

n

"I want to touch your abs, I want to feel your lip...I want you inside of me!!

" she yelled at him as her face was blushing redder and redder till Philip put his hand on her lip to stop her from saying such embarrassing words.

n

"Philip...I love you.

" he kissed her with his heart almost jumping out of his chest. He carried her to her hut putting her on her bed but he ended up being below Marinette when Marinette did all the kissing.

nShe sucked his neck leaving hickeys on it, kissed his forehead, lips to his abs when she was unbuttoning it one by one.

n

"Ahh...don't...kiss there...

" he was ticked by her kiss, she was also not an expert in kissing. His nipple was somewhat soft and hard, his chest muscle twitched when her lip sucked those two nipples.

nTranferring magic energy: 50%

/ Time Remaining: 20 minutes.

nWhen everything went smoothly for Marinette, Philip couldn't resist and grabbed her pressing her down on the soft bed, and then took off the belt and showed it in front of Marinette.

n

"It won't fit...I don't want to hurt you.

" Marinette smirked sliding her hand across his belly and then touching the tip of it.

n

"Isn't it a bit small??

"

n

"What??!!

" he was pissed somehow.

nMarinette teased the beast.

nHe put his hands on Marinette's waist and then stuck it in, only the tip of it went inside her and she let out a pleasing moaning to Philip's ears.

n

"Oh?? Did this small thing hurt you?

"

n

"Just hurry...

" she sat on top of him kissing him as he continued putting it in, once it was finally in, he kept moving slowly teasing her.

n

"It's tight...nnghh~

"

n

"Haa...Philip...mmhh.

" her chest pressed against his body as she was unable to separate the pain and the pleasant feeling inside her when she hugged him.

nTranferring magic energy: 98%

/ Time Remaining: 2 minutes.

n

"I'm coming...haa...haa...I love you, Marinette.

"

n

"I love you too, Philip...

" she shed a drop of tear when Philip rest his head on Marinette's shoulder full of his mark.

nTranferring magic energy: 100%! Successful!! Philip will be granted the magic of the death roses and the dark magic.

n'Huh???'

nSomething was missing.

nThe memory magic wasn't transferred to Philip.

nDue to the complicated magic of the memory magic, transferring failed. Try again next time.

nThere wasn't the next time...

n

"Can we go one more round??

" Philip whispered to Marinette, she flinched in surprise when that thing became bigger and hard inside her only after a minute.

nMemeory Magic: Memory Manipulation.

nShe had to go with the current situation, she was quite relieved the transferring was a success although only two magic was successfully transferred.

nShe used her remaining magic to manipulate Philip's memory to make him forget about all of the moments of tonight.

n

"Marinette...I love you...so much...

" even his sleeptalking didn't make Marinette move...she had to make a decision for his happiness.

nMemomry Magic's special ability granted: Locking memory!

n'Locking memory?'

nThe magic will allow you to lock a certain amount of memories or a memory of a person for any time.

nShe stopped for a second to think about the magic. She finally found a solution, for everyone not to be hurt, she will lock all of their memories of her.

nAfter they win the battle, she will use the special ability to lock all of her allies' memories so no one remembers her when she dies.

nAnd that goes for Philip too, he'd be better off without remembering her.

n'We have to win the battle.'

nTo be continued....!
