   After the movie date, Rhys, Asch, Noi, and Peirce began to act even more protective of Princess Ava. They've been checking up on her a lot more and wondering what she's doing every second of the day.

     Ava brought home a Tee-Vee the day before, telling the Daemos it was an ancient relic from the dark ages. She gifted it to them since the computer was banned from them after Leif tried stabbing it, and Rhys gave it a virus.

     It took a long time to turn the Tee-Vee on, and Rhys couldn't figure it out. However, the next morning, Leif began to act rather weird toward Y/N. She woke up to the smell of an E-Arth breakfast on her bed, and Leif was wearing a torn black suit and green tie, confessing his love to her. Asch caught them flirting with each other, and Leif introduced the magic of the Tee-Vee man to them. It helped them become better gentlemen to Princess Ava.

     Days later, Ava begins hanging orange and black paper and pumpkins on her walls in the kitchen and living room. She's on the ladder, her hands high in the air, carrying a string of decorations, pins in her hand, and bobbing her head. The Daemos are sitting on the couch while Peirce stands up. Leif has his arm wrapped around Y/N, Asch glaring at him now and then but not doing anything.

     "Have you guys noticed Princess Ava acting weird?" Noi mentions.

     "Yes," Peirce nods.

     "What's wrong with her?" Leif asks.

     "What happened to this place?" Asch looks around.

     "Quiet! The weatherman is telling us about the forecast!" Rhys waves his hand, eyes glued on the TV and the man on the screen.

     "Look at the room, Rhys," Y/N taps his shoulder.

     The blue-horned Daemos glance around the room, noticing all the decorations. He wonders what happened, and everyone calls out to her, trying to gain her attention. She doesn't turn around, only nodding her head up and down.

     "W-What's wrong with Ava?" Noi panics.

     "She can't hear," Peirce tells him.

     "Wait, I see the issue," Rhys spots something in Ava's ears. "Look."

     He raises his hand, pointing to a white gadget in the Princess' ears.

     "What is that?" Y/N squints, seeing the gadget.

     "Ava is infected with the wealth! As a sign of that, those pods of air," Rhys explains.

     "So get it out of her ears, simple," Leif shrugs, grabbing the TV remote and throwing it.

     "Leif!" Y/N smacks his shoulder.

     Asch instantly teleports from the couch to in front of Ava's ladder, catching the remote in his hands.

     "We don't throw things at a Princess," Asch reminds them.

     "What the! When did you learn my trick?!" Leif asks, offended.

     "Oh well, I used magic," Asch prides himself, smirking.

     "Heh, do you can't naturally do it?" Leif scoffs.

     "I'm pretty sure I could if I wanted to," Asch shrugs.

     "Tsk," Leif scoffs.

     "Look, I learned a lot from the TV. The man told us we have to win Ava's affection, so throwing objects at her is not helping."

     "I hope you realize I'm not trying to win Ava's affection," Leif points out.

     "Then at least win over her respect," Asch grumbles.
