“Edon!” Marianna greets her old friend with a hug as soon as he steps through the door of her home. “It’s so good to see a friendly face.” 

“Marianna.” Edon replies, in his usual, polite manner. “Thank you for inviting my family and I into your home. It is an honor.” 

Marianna looks at Edon’s two sons, Amon and Ira, as well as Amon’s fiancee, Annamaya standing behind Edon. “Could Lydia not make it?” 

“She is with her in-laws down in Arden this holiday season.” Edon replies. “But, she sends her best.” 

Marianna greets the rest of her new guests, all of the Byrnes towering over her, even though she is above average height. 

“Thank you so much for having us, ma’am.” Amon tells her, firmly shaking her hand. “Where is Raisa?” 

At the mention of her eldest daughter, Marianna’s expression flickers to one of annoyance. “She and—“ There is no mistaking the grimace on her delicate features. “Hanson are in the living room with Mellony.” 

Amon blinks in surprise. “Hanson? As in Han Alister? He’s here?” 

Marianna gestures to the direction of the living room. “Right through there. I’ll take you there.” She sighs, as if it was a great burden to walk them to a room of her house. 

The three Byrne men, and Annamaya, stand in the archway of the living room, finding Raisa and Han Alister sitting on a pure white couch, Mellony taking up a matching armchair. Raisa was staring at whatever was on the TV, but Han was leaning closer to Mellony as she was showing him something on her phone. 

“And this is Raisa in the bathtub when she was three.” 

Amon’s mouth is agape, staring at the scene in front of him with astonishment. “Alister?” 

Han looks up, and waves at him. “Hey, Byrne. Annamaya.” He then turns back to Mellony. “Can you please expand more on that story of Raisa falling into the fountain again?” 

Marianna looks at Amon, somewhat accusingly, though he isn’t sure what she is accusing him of. “You two know each other?” 

“Of course.” Annamaya chirps. “We used to go to school together.” Back before Annamaya had graduated the previous summer. 

“And you still go to school at Odensford.” Marianna is still looking straight at Amon. “So, I’m assuming you knew.”  

Amon is still very much unaware of what exactly Marianna Wolfe thinks that he had done. “Knew what?” 

Raisa clears her throat, standing up, dragging Han away from the couch as she does so. “Amon, I was meaning to tell you…” She lets out a long stream of air. “Han and I are married.” 

Amon stares at her, then at Marianna’s disapproving expression, then at Han’s tight-lipped smile, then back at Raisa. “Excuse me?” 

“We’re married.” Raisa repeats, no trace of humor on her face. 

“Congratulations!” Anmamaya exclaims. 

Amon shakes his head. “No. No congratulations. Are you serious? You’re married?” 

Han nods. “Yep.” 

“You two have only been dating for four months!” Amon exclaims, his shock momentarily breaking through his usually calm facade. He doesn’t even register the other people standing around him, as he looks at his oldest friend and her— dear, Maker— husband. “You— I— when did this happen?” 

“Remember when we all went to Las Vegas on Halloween?” Raisa asks. “But you didn’t come because you had an early class the next day?” 

Amon’s breathing continues to come in hard and fast. “Yes,” He replies through gritted teeth. 

Raisa nods. “Then.” 

Annamaya steps forward. “I’m very happy for you two.” 

“Thank you, Annamaya.” Han tells her. 

“You’re welcome!”

The Demon King Chapters 21-25

06/01/24 & 06/03/24

Chapter Twenty Four:

1.) I just have one question. First off, how dare you?

2.) But... not her... blood cousins... right? RIGHT?

3.) yes, it will. just not the union of BAYAR blood...

4.) i never understood why 'kingdom' made her so angry when i first read this book. i think i was, like, half way through exiled queen before i got it 😭

5.) THIS SOLDIER IS A NATIONAL HERO <3

6.) i mean, han doesn't seem to mind, so... 🤷‍♀️

7.) this one sentence made me understand all of raisa's pain throughout this book and more. if i were her, i would've been meaner.

8.) you are all in for a rude awakening if you think for one second that raisa is gonna allow you to make her a dedicate 😭

Chapter Twenty Five: (TW// Graphic depiction of violence against a demon, Mentions of death)

i'll admit, a lot of this chapter is just me sobbing, but here's some highlights.

1.) At least I can look back and know that Han has always taken on more than his fair share of responsibility, but this revelation still hurt.

2.) This actually did put a smile on my face, this was a shining moment.

3.) she still tried to help them 🤧 THEY ALL DID!!!

4.) oh, the power of foresight...

5.) SHE CRADLED HIM IN HER ARMS AS SHE NURSED HIM BACK TO HEALTH! THIS IS HER CHILD, AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE!

6.) first off, this hurt, this really did. but, also, willo not leaving han bc she's so terrified of losing him is so precious and heartbreaking.

7.) all of my comfort characters are, at their hearts, depressed. what does this say about me?

8.) Seriously, is it me? Am I the problem?

The Demon King Chapters 21-25

06/01/24 & 06/03/24

guys, shit got real.

Chapter Twenty One:

i read chapter 21 on june first, but i drank a bit too much and ended up sleeping for 16 hours so you get it all in one post.

1.) Raisa thinking about Han never fails to make me giggley. But, also, I just want it to be noted that by exiled queen, Raisa has a hard time thinking about him as Han at first, bc she was so used to referring to him as Cuffs in her mind.

2.) Raisa being mean and petty is so much fun, and i love this for her.

3.) Marianna, when I catch you...

4.) More Han mentions, my heart is fluttery

5.) JON IS HER COUSIN! LIKE NOT 99th COUSINS LIKE RAISA AND HAN, SHE LITERALL CALLS HIS FATHER 'UNCLE'!

5.) What is with Byrnes and forgetting about their second sons? First Ira, then Silva. It's a freaking epidemic.

6.) Lila, I wanted more for you </3

7.) AMON REALLY DID END UP REPEATING HIS FATHER'S LIFE, WTF???

8.) ...

Chapter Twenty Two:

1.) I would like to note that this brings up one of the reasons why I love Raisa and Han so much. Han has spent his entire life chasing relationships that were unequal, girls he like more than they liked him, girls that liked him more than he liked them. But, he loves Raisa. Just for who she is, not by what she can do for him. idk i'm tired leave me alone.

2.) Averill and Elena would NEVER let that happen.

This is just a random note, but Willo just KNOWING that han and bird were a thing is so mother of her.

3.) Willo trying to tell Han that he's a wizard without actually telling Han that he's a wizard.

4.) Most everything IS his fault. Except for the things that are Gavan Bayar's fault.

5.) Willo always makes me sad. Like she just wants to protect her two sons, is that too much to ask for?

6.) The pain that comes from knowing what happens when he comes back... 😖

Chapter Twenty Three:

1.) Just realized that this is probably the reason she chose to have a green wedding dress. Plus, yknow, the trauma.

2.) Mothers, am I right?

3.) Did you guys know that Marianna had brown eyes?

4.) AND GAVAN BAYAR IS FULL SILVER? THIS OPENS UP A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF INSULTS FOR ME!

5.) This is so creepy. Why do old men think that this is a compliment?

6.) Averill gets some points for this.

7.) Jemson had the chance to do the funniest thing ever, and he took it.

8.) THERE IS A DAUGHTER CAUGHT UP IN THIS MESS TOO???

9.) Raisa, you are in public???

10.) Micah, you wonder why I'm so mean to you?

A quick montage of Raisa being a funny icon before shit gets real:

The Demon King Chapters 1-2

05/19/24

Chapter One:

I almost forgot how confusing reading the first few chapters of this book were when I first read it. There is no exposition and very little lore outside of what's on the back cover. That being said, it's infinitely more interesting to read going into it with knowledge.

F Han's mom. IDC if you thought he was a demon or not, don't hurt my son like that (yes, i'm claiming him as my own bc you don't deserve him)!

That being said, f Elena for telling Han's mom that she had a demon baby in the first place!

This joke is so much funnier knowing what maiden’s weed is. Really makes you wonder how many kids were running around Rag Market thanks to Han’s fraud 😭

The excitement that just came through me when Han explained the position of High Wizard for the first time 🤭

"Like anything forbidden, wizards fascinated Han" i literally can't stop giggling, like it feels like i'm looking at a baby that can barely talk yet, and is one day gonna be this whole grown up person.

Ew, first Micah mention :(

Micah wincing when he sees Dancer because he recognizes the Bayar in him 😖 this just makes me feel even worse for willo, like my poor baby girl.

Han thinking of the clans as his first real home

Micah: "Me, I wouldn't want to marry a girl who'd spent time in the camps."

Okay... then leave her alone.

Dancer defending Raisa. That is a boy that was raised right <3

Han wondering how tf Micah knew Dancer's Vale name, and I am also pretty curious about that. How tf DID Micah know Dancer's name? Is that ever revealed?

NOT HAN SAVING MICAH'S LIFE 😭

Micah and his cousins having a conversation about Micah's interest in Raisa and him stealing the amulet from his father, not realizing that Han and Dancer were multilingual 😭

Micah thinking Han looks familiar... I wonder why...

I LAUGHED SO HARD

Chapter Two:

Only on the first page, and Raisa is a bit of a demon isn't she? like, don't get wrong, everyone deserves it, and i support women's wrongs, but DAMN girl. ofc, i then remember what i was like at 15, and i'm like, okay. i get it.

also, FUCK GAVAN BAYAR! he hasn't done anything yet, but he still sucks!

Some people grow out of how they were at 13. And then, there's Mellony.

The Raisa and Micah relationship 🤢 at least my opinion on that hasn't changed in the last 5 years.

Also, I remember when I first read this book I think this was the point when I closed it, put it in my backpack, and didn't touch it again for another week. That is how much we all hate whatever tf the Raisa/Micah ship name is.

Amon's dad is a breath of fresh air this chapter, ngl

"When I'm queen, I'm going to keep my friends close by." AND YOU DID, BABY!!!

Raisa calling her mother "Mama" made me sad :( Then I realized that that might've been what Hana, Ash, and Lyss called Raisa and I got even sadder

Micah, you fucking liar. I HATE YOU

Raisa just thinking that wizard father's are just cruel, not realizing that Gavan used Micah bc he knew that HE HAD STARTED THE FIRE!

like, i hate gavan bayar, and i will ALWAYS hate gavan bayar, but at least he managed to put Micah in his place BH (Before Han)

Thank you for attempting to see through the bs, Edon 🙏
