Annotation

The goddess Selene created Queen Aliya with the purpose of becoming King Ethan's partner. Aliya's growth was delayed until her 18th birthday since she was promised to Ethan from the moment of her creation. Together, they were destined to rule the supernatural world with strength and grace, bringing prosperity to all under their reign. However, Ethan fell in love with Aliya and couldn't wait for her to turn 18, despite the promise he had made. He tried to suppress his feelings, fearing they would weaken him around Aliya. One day, he heard a small heartbeat that drove him crazy. He tried to ignore it, but after three days, he decided to follow the sound that led him to a nursery room in a castle. Ethan promised himself to stay away from Aliya and only visit her every day without being seen until she grew into a beautiful young woman. However, when Aliya was only 17 years old, Ethan accidentally revealed himself to her. Aliya confessed her love for him, but Ethan knew he couldn't let it stand and had to confront her. It was then that Ethan realized he had fallen in love with the woman created for him. Despite not wanting to wait, Ethan's love for Aliya grew stronger, and Aliya eventually got pregnant. Little did they know, this was all that the Dark One wanted. He wanted Aliya to bear a child who would be his future queen, and they would rule the underworld with their dark army.
