Before the events of Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle (anime), Twilight the Demon King kidnapped all the princesses from all the kingdoms in the land of Goodereste. Starting with Princess Y/N of Merrispark.
She despised the demons at first, but a...
I got my keys back from the teddy demons and escaped as usual. I headed back to the big important door, walked in and sat at the table, everyone staring at me.
Cleric: "Princess... what are you doing here?"
Y/N: "I would like to know what you know about Aiden."
Poseidon: "Who?"
Demon King: "Hero face?"
Y/N: "Yes."
Alraune: "So you do know..."
Y/N: "Yes. I ask that you tell me everything you know about him. Where is he now? Did he... hurt Sandy?"
Fire Venom Dragon: "Who's Sandy?"
Big Big: "That's what she nicknamed the Sand Dragon."
Cleric: "Should we tell her, your majesty?"
Demon King: "I don't see the harm in it. Ahem, princess, at this time, we've lost sight of the hero."
Y/N: "Huh? How?"
Poseidon: "Well, you see. He was easily beaten by the sand dragon, and he returned home with his party."
Y/N: "Have they given up?"
Big Big: "We're not sure..."
Fire Venom Dragon: "We doubt it. He seemed so determined."
Alraune: "Even so, he hasn't left Merrispark since he was defeated by the sand dragon."
Y/N: "I see..."
I scowled.
Cleric: "Princess, do you not like the hero?"
Y/N: "I despise him..."
Everyone: "HUH?!"
Alraune: "But why? He's your hero after all."
Y/N: "I was hoping it would be anyone but Aiden."
Demon King: "I don't believe this..."
Big Big: "Princess, is there something you're not telling us?"
I sighed.
Y/N: "I don't like bringing it up... but... when I was younger, my father told me that Aiden and I would be married when I come of age. Whether I approved or not, he was to be my fate."
Dead silence.
Y/N: "If I'm honest, you kidnapped me at the right time. I will become of age when I soon turn 25."
Poseidon: "Why do you hate him, though?"
Y/N: "Because... I don't like the idea of being told who to marry... I want it to be for love."
I stood up.
Y/N: "Anyway, thank you for sharing that with me. See you all later."
I left and shut the door, but I stayed to eavesdrop a while.
Cleric: "Are you alright, sire?"
Demon King: "H-huh? Oh, yes... I'm fine. I just... did not expect that..."
Big Big: "The hero is the princess' fiancé."
Poseidon: "But she hates the guy."
Alraune: "That's the first time she's sounded so grateful to us for kidnapping her."
Fire Venom Dragon: "Our original plan was to get the hero here so you can beat him, sire... but..."
Cleric: "Perhaps it's the princess who needs protecting from him..."
Demon King: "Yes... you're right. That's our new goal."
Big Big: "What about taking over Merrispark?"
Demon King: "Hero face is trouble. We'll take it after we ensure the princess' safety."
Big Big: "As you wish, my liege."
I smiled and head back to my cell.
