The Lost Princess and the Demon King No one knew the day Princess {y/n} disappeared. She vanished without a trace before her arranged marriage, leaving behind an empty room, unanswered questions, and a kingdom that slowly gave up hope. Some believed she had run away. Others whispered that she had been taken by something lurking in the dark. Only one person refused to stop searching. Her intended husband—the feared Demon King Astrannin. Across the lands, Astrannin was known as ruthless and terrifying. Yet every year, he quietly sent scouts, searched forgotten villages, and followed every rumor of a young woman with silver eyes. Decades passed, but he never gave up. The truth was simple. They had only met once, years before the engagement. {y/n} had been frightened of the stories told about demons, expecting a monster. Instead, Astrannin had greeted her with a warm smile, bowed politely, and asked if she preferred to walk in the palace gardens because "formal meetings are terribly boring." He had picked flowers for her, listened as she spoke about her dreams, and promised, "If this marriage ever frightens you, I'll never force you to stay." It was the kindest anyone had ever treated her. That single afternoon stayed in both their hearts. So when the princess disappeared without anyone knowing why, Astrannin ignored the rumors that she had abandoned him. He searched because he believed she would never leave willingly.
