[7:12pm]

When the young prince invited you to his balcony during one fine ball,
you were ecstatic.

A few hours prior,
while getting ready for the event with your lover,
you had noticed a velvet box stashed away in his tuxedo pocket;
meaning only one thing.

The whole evening this far,
you had been brighter than usual,
anyone within a 5 mile radius of you could see.
Sipping at your champagne,
you'd steal small glances at Diavolo,
a little giggle leaving your lips as a blush quickly made its way onto your cheeks.

Once on the balcony,
you hooked your arm though his,
and sighed whilst admiring the view of the Devildom.
Waiting,
patiently,
for the prince to ask you to be his queen.

Of course,
it happened,
and he lowered himself down onto one knee.
Diavolo had spent weeks researching human traditions on the topic of engagement,
wanting this to be a special moment for the both of you.

"My MC, my darling, I've never quite loved anyone as much as I love you.
You inspire me to be a better person,
not only for my kingdom,
but for me and you."

Your vision went blurry as you looked down upon your new fiance,
admiring his beaming face and warm smile.
He was perfect,
you were perfect,
together you two were meant to be.
It's as if the stars had aligned perfectly-

"My Love, would you do me the honours and become my loving paramour,
until death do us part?"

Paramour.
The word rang through your head and your expression stiffened,
eyes still upon the prince's face,
looking for any trace of confusion that could be contouring his face.
He must've mixed his words up, surely.
Beaming back at the man before you,
you screamed a jolly "Yes!"
before you were pulled into a strong embrace.

"My sweet, sweet paramour."

He whispered into your ear,
caressing your hair with one hand whilst the other rested at your waist.
Paramour.
He said it again.

Yet, you brushed it off as confusion.
Maybe he had just mixed up his words,
a second time,
but oh well.
So you walked back to the hall and parted ways as to stay lowkey.
You had delicately slid the ring onto your finger and hidden it with your silk glove.

Chattering and laughter carried on for a few minutes,
before a chime rang through the hall.
Silence was met with the prince,
standing tall and proud in the middle of the hall.

"My loyal friends and companions."

He started off,
with his usual charming smile.

"I understand that some of you are confused as to what the special event of tonight is-"

Your heart almost jumped out if your body.
Was the heir to the throne going to announce to everyone that you're his bride to be?
Something that hasn't been done in centuries,
a human and a demon getting wed?
But you noticed that Diavolo wasnt looking in your direction at all,
instead his eyes lingered on another demon in the crowd.

"I am here to celebrate my engagement to my fiance, Yua."

Uproars from demons alike swept through the room,
whistles and claps and bangs rang through your ears,
luckily enough making your cries and sobs and you just stared.
Stared,
as the demon approached Diavolo,
and as he leant down to meet her lips.

Alas, you were just a
paramour to him.
