Chapter 6: Making a Fool Out of a Prince

Today you were teaching him how to make puto* or steamed rice cakes. He kept whining about how it was sticky and "gross" but didn't stop helping you. Hours later you two sat comfortably by the river munching on rice cakes.

"This one's undercooked," he said, raising a puto from your pile.

"What?"

"It's undercooked, the inside is all gooey."

"You're lying."

"I'm not, your cake is undercooked."

"Give me that."

"No."

"Let me bite--" you leapt from your seat to grab the cake but he held out his arm and you ended up pushing him over.

"Hand it over, Diavolo!" You snatched it from him and popped the entire thing in your mouth. "I knew you were lying!"

"Yeah, you got me," he confessed. Diavolo's tone had become soft in the past few days and his gaze now carried a subdued mischief. His signature devilish smirk was reduced to a harmless smile.

It was only when you finished the snack did you realize that you were resting on top of him. Heat flooded your neck and you tried to push yourself off him. "S-sorry--" However, your hand slipped and you fell back.

A strong arm covered your waist.

"Don't be," he whispered.

You felt his hand touch your hair but then you were in the air. Diavolo was on his feet, holding you in his arms.

He sighed in annoyance.

The system notification came a split second later, announcing the presence of two visitors.

"I never thought there'd be a day when the crown prince of hell would play house with a human," Gabriel snickered and Lilith laughed with him.

"You're too brave, entering the crown prince's territory without invitation."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"I thought I already made it clear the last time." Diavolo brought you closer to his chest. "This woman and I are legally bound. Our bodies and fortune are as good as a single entity."

Gabriel shot him a cold glare.

You rolled your eyes, then lightly tapped Diavolo's cheek with your knuckles. "You talk as if we're married."

Diavolo chuckled, "But aren't they the same?"

"As if."

A shadow covered Gabriel's eyes while Lilith stood there green-faced as cartoon hearts pierce into her. "Could you not flirt in front of me?"

The system silently nodded in agreement. Watching its Host act all lovey-dovey with this devil made it sick.

You blushed and jumped out of Diavolo's arms.

The demon stuck out a pierced tongue. "You're just jealous. What torture it must be to stay a virgin for millions of years."

Lilith cracked her knuckles, her disposition now reminded you of Gabriel. "Lookin' for a fight, devil boy?"

"Didn't you learn from last time? You only managed to hit me because of an ambush. Even if there are two of you, you still don't stand a chance against me."

"No fighting please," you cut in, then greeted them properly, "Lilith, it's nice to see you again." You paused. "Gabriel ... "

He nodded, blushing.
