Devil's Planet, Devil Empire Capital, Witch Delaney's Cafe, 10:00 a.m.
"Hello, Delaney! Once you engaged with your devil partner for one day, you would be a witch with your devil partner's lifespan and power forever. I would like to listen to your romance story between you and your devil partner, to know how coincidental your first encounter was, to know how romantic your first date was, and to know how much your love was. Tell me your romance story, please!"
Morgana sat at the bar counter, expecting listening to witch Delaney's romance story. She tasted a little bit of her black coffee, feeling the coffee more bitter than medicine. She added a half of milk and three spoons of sugar, stirring her black coffee from black to white, feeling the coffee sweeter than chocolate.
She wondered, if a relationship was a cup of black coffee with bitterness, what were the milk and sugar? She knew, the key to a relationship was understanding, compromise and love. She guessed, the milk was understanding that mended a relationship, and the sugar was love that sweetened each other's hours.
"The first encounter between him and me, was at my hometown three centuries ago. It's a rainy afternoon, with furious thunder, thick clouds and heavy rain. Through gauze of rain, I saw a shadow falling with raindrop, it was a devil in devil's armour. His devil's horns were broken but still majesty, his devil's wings were broken but still shining, and his devil's sword was broken but still sharpe. I used to believe devil was the root of all sins and the root of all evils, until I encountered him, who made me believe there were good devils and bad devils in this world."
Delaney who was a witch romance storyteller, she shared the first encounter between her and her devil partner, recalling their first encounter at her hometown three centuries ago. She remembered the first encounter between her and her devil partner, It's a rainy afternoon, with furious thunder, thick clouds and heavy rain.
Through gauze of rain, she saw a shadow falling with raindrop, it's her future devil partner in devil's armour. At the moment when she saw him, she saw an injured devil with broken devil's horns, broken devil's wings, and broken devil's swords. She was struggling with the question, whether she should save him, or she shouldn't save him.
"To save this devil or not to save this devil, that's the question. I was gonna forget what I saw, but I couldn't lose my mercy, kindness and love, so I walked toward where the injured devil fluttered down. I raised my umbrella above the devil, shielding heavy rain, till that heavy rain ceased after rainfall. At the moment when he opened his eyes, waking up from coma. I looked into his eyes, and saw his loyalty to his kingdom and his queen. I wondered, why would he fight for his kingdom and his queen? When I asked him, he just answer, it's the war between The United Empires of Light and The United Empires of Darkness and the war between angels and devils."
Delaney shared her first encounter between her and her devil partner, recalling how badly he was injured at the first time she encountered him. From the first sight she saw him, she saw an injured soldier dying on the moist road. She was struggling with the question, whether she should save him, or she shouldn't him.
She couldn't forget what she saw, because she was a human with blood and flesh in her appearance, and she was a human with mercy, kindness and love inside her heart. She couldn't forget what she saw, because she was a kind woman with a giving heart. She couldn't forget what she saw, because she couldn't watch him dying.
"From the first sight I saw him, I saw an injured soldier dying on the moist road. What could I do was raising my umbrella above his injured body, when sky was rainy, with furious thunder, thick clouds and heavy rain. When he opened his eyes, waking up from coma. The first thought in his mind was about the war between angels and devils, the second thought in his mind was about his kingdom and his queen, and the last thought in his mind was gratitude to me. He battled with an angel, got injured in the magic combat, and required a quiet place to recover his injuries. Therefore he and I lived together, understood each other, and treated each other as lifetime partner."
Delaney shared her first love experience, recalling their two people's world hours three centuries ago. She used to believe devil was the root of all sins and the root of all evils, until she encountered her devil partner, who was a good devil, who made her believe there were good devils and bad devils in this world.
Given that he required a quiet place to recover his injuries, and his devil's identity was sensitive in the age, when angels and devils battled against each other. She permitted him live with her, but she didn't expect that she would fall in love with a devil. She fell in love, she just fell in love, and there's nothing she could do about it.
"It took me three months to carve a person's name in my heart, but it took me three centuries to waite for him to come back to me. From the first sight I came across him, his devil's horns were broken but still majesty, his devil's wings were broken but still shining, and his devil's sword was broken but still sharpe. Three months later, he was healed, with new devil's horns, new devil's wings and new devil's sword. He was gonna return the universe battlefield, head for a doomed battle, and fight to the end. I was just a human, who could live less than one century, the battle between angels and devils had been lasting for thousands of years, and only God knew how many years I must be waiting for him to come back to me."
