QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 3. The Cursed Witch Conquers the Wild Prince (Diavolo x Reader) Chapter 4

You sighed internally. What was with this anachronism? The angels and demons were enough, why add time travel to an already complicated story?

"Human," a deep, growling voice interrupted your thoughts.

A goat-knight pointed a hairy, twelve-inch-long finger towards you. "The crown prince has ordered us to bring you to him."

"W-what crown prince? I don't know who you're talking about. Please, if I offended anyone, I'm sor—argh!"

Hairy knuckles that could put coconut husks to shame hit your cheek and sent you flying to the other side of the room.

"Silence, human!" He boomed.

[Host, are you all right? Oh! Your cheek is red! And it's bleeding!]

"If you could stop talking like every sentence ends with an exclamation point, that would be great."

[But your face...]

"My world-collapsing beautiful face has been damaged, but don't worry. He actually did me a favor."

The system wondered if the slap actually turned you crazy for real now.

"We cannot keep His Royal Highness waiting."

"On your feet, insect," they demanded.

One grabbed your arm and yanked you up from the ground. The other waved his liquid onyx spear into the air, a trail of red following each stroke. A pentagram formed in the air. The circle and symbols seemed to shine brighter with each second, so you hid your eye behind your free elbow.

For a split second, the smell of sulphur penetrated your senses before it was replaced by the dizzying reek of booze and body oil.

You reluctantly lifted your head.

If you could whistle, you would've whistled.

There was a harsh tug on your arm and you started walking. "I was wrong, Uwak," you thought as you looked around you.

Flawlessly black marble pillars columns with gold trims lined the halls. There was no ceiling, leaving a panoramic view of a pristine night sky with unfamiliar constellations. The black-and-gold floor shined with your reflection. Along the way you encountered several men and women fraternising in the corners of the corridor. Each one carried an otherworldly beauty despite how some had horns or tails or wings. (Though none came close to the three angels you knew.) Along the way, you swore you spotted a young man resembling a volleyball anime character you fell in love with back in high school.

"This may actually be heaven. I give up. Let them take me. I don't care anymore."

[Don't tease me, Host. My heart can only take so much.]

"You needn't worry. A system like you isn't even human or animal so it's not like you can have a heart attack."

You wanted to sigh at this stupid system who couldn't take a joke, but you reached the end of the halls and faced a heavy set of doors guarded by two more goat-men. They looked at you then opened the doors.

You were pulled inside by the goat-man holding your arm.

You realized the room was actually thermae, that is, a large pool. The area reminded you of the thermae of Ancient Rome, except rather than blue or greenish, the "water" was a shimmering, clear black.

Hovering on the center of the pool was a gold bed in the shape of a clam shell, decorated with layers upon layers of rayon blankets. On top of the bed, playing with different horned men and women, was a very familiar face and body.
