Chapter 7: I Met the King of Hell

Your hands trembled, dropping the pot of rice. Diavolo caught it and put the pot on the table.

"You want me to meet your father?" You repeated his words.

"Naturally, I want him to meet my future queen."

Your face flushed and you ducked behind an arm. "Q-queen? Me?"

"If not you, who else?" He pulled your hand and kissed it.

[This poor prince has no sense at all.]

"You've noticed too, huh."

Both you and the system were in agreement. What kind of feared demon monarch would propose to a human woman he's known for a few months?

You shrugged. At least his lack of common sense worked in your favor.

Later that day, Diavolo brought you back to Devildom, where he again left you in the hands of Barbatos and the maids to be washed and dressed.

When Diavolo reappeared, you were adorned with gold and rubies.

You fiddled your fingers together and looked at the ground. "It doesn't suit me, does it?" You whispered with a blush. But you beamed with pride at your reflection in the polished marble floor.

[Host, be reminded, no matter how pretty you think you are--this is not your body.]

You told it to shut up and continued to admire your face until Diavolo stepped forward.

"You haven't said anything," you mumbled. "B-but that's to be expected, it's not like I'm fit to be wearing such amazing items."

"You're right, these clothes aren't enough."

Your eyelashes trembled daintily.

Diavolo caressed the tiara that adorned your head. "These clothes and rubies--even these gold jewels can't compare to you. You outshine them all."

The maids who wore human skin for masks: (☉_☉)

Their prince was a shameless flirt, but they've never heard him talk like this. It was ... revolting. They turned to Barbatos, but the butler was as immovable as ever.

[Host, I know you want to laugh but remember that this demon can snap your neck in a second.]

You swallowed back a snicker and met Diavolo's gaze.

Look at those honey-dew eyes, how fast the mighty prince of hell has given in to lovesickness!

Uwak sighed and stared at Diavolo with pity. He must've done a lot of bad things to meet its heartless Host.

The system shook its head and watched its Host act cute and sweet until it was time to meet with the king of hell.

"Don't be afraid," Diavolo said as he led you through the corridors.

"Easier said than done but ... " You smiled. "I can be brave with you here."

[Pft!] The system was ready to throw up blood.

Diavolo nodded and placed a chaste kiss on your forehead.

The doors to the throne room opened on their own. A lizard-lady blew a trumpet and announced your arrival.

The throne room was lit with floating fireballs and there was a row of hooded figures on either side of the black throne, which seated a man with greying hair. But his figure was still strong under his black robe, and his gold eyes were sharp.
