"Who?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Lucy says with a sweet smile as she plays with her matted hair.

They all stare at her, holding their breaths as they wait to see who has her heart.

One person in particular more nervous than the rest.

"My heart belongs to me. Duh. It's right here," she says, pointing to her chest.

They all groan collectively except for Jin, who bursts into a fit of laughter. "Good one, Lucy!"

"I know. Who knew the Devil could have a sense of humor? My brother was such a bore," Lucy says, rolling her eyes dramatically. "But limp dick saved the day!"

Lucy laughs and takes off running as Jungkook takes off after her.

"You don't need your tongue to rule Hell. I'll gladly cut it out of your shit-talking mouth!" Jungkook yells as he continues to chase Lucy around the throne room, the other six men watching in amusement.

"Wait, she needs her tongue to-"

"Lust, if you finish that sentence, I'll rip your lower jaw from your face," Jimin growls as Yoongi glares at Jungkook chasing Lucy.

"He's lucky I don't have the energy to chase after him," he huffs in exasperation.

"Good thing I have plenty of energy," Hoseok grins before taking off after Jungkook.

"Welcome to the party!" Lucy yells over her shoulder. "I should've known you'd get jealous that we were having so much fun without you."

"I was planning on saving you, ungrateful woman!" Hoseok yells, slowing to a stop.

Suddenly, Lucy screams out in pain as she falls to the floor.

Jungkook jogs up to where Lucy has collapsed and kneels next to her.

"I like this thing," Jungkook grins as he wiggles the remote to Lucy's collar in her face.

Jungkook yelps in surprise when someone tackles him to the ground and yanks the remote from his hands.

"I'll take that," Taehyung says, smirking at Jungkook.

"Since when were you on her side?" Jungkook scoffs.

"Maybe I just wanted to have this cool remote. I'm Greed. Remember?"

"Guys, can we be serious please? We need to address the important issue here," Jin suddenly says, stepping to the middle of the room.

Everyone turns to look at him.

"Oh yeah. We just killed the old Devil and now we should probably figure out what to do next," Lucy says, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well, I was gonna ask where the kitchen was. But yeah, that too," Jin frowns.

"Why would we have a kitchen in Hell? Demons don't eat, aside from you," Lucy explains, raising her brow.

Jin gasps dramatically. "This is unacceptable. I'm going home."

"This is your home now. I mean, you can still visit Earth if you want to, but this is where you will live. You have realms to rule now," she says, smiling softly at them as she stands up and straightens her shirt.

"Where will we be staying?" Hoseok asks.

"Well, here for now. In my palace. After you've been properly introduced and awakened, you can go live in your realms in your own palaces."

"Introduced?"

"Awakened?"

"Palaces?"

Lucy laughs at the men falling over themselves to bombard her with questions.

"I need to properly introduce you to everyone here. I also need to announce my... promotion. And by awakened, I mean helping you to fully realize the extent of your powers. Sure, you know your basic stuff with healing, but you all have much more power than that."

"Palaces?" Taehyung repeats.

"Each of you has your own palace in your realm. You're Princes, after all. I had them built when I found the prophecy," she says.

"And Lucifer didn't notice you casually building seven castles?" Jungkook scoffs.

Lucy snorts. "My brother never left his precious palace. And none of his slaves ever traveled over to the seven levels because Lucifer was always too worried about focusing on his little corner of the place. It was far too easy to sneak behind his back sometimes."

"Yeah, and sometimes you'd get caught, causing seven innocent demons to get caught in the crossfire," Taehyung grumbles.

"Irrelevant," she waves her hand dismissively. "And besides, look at us! It's all worked out."

She looks around at all of them before scrunching her nose up in disgust.

"Ew. Look at us," she says again and they all look at each other.

"Okay, yeah. Ew," Jin laughs as they all take in their bloody bodies and torn clothing.

"I'll have Kai show you to your rooms that you'll be staying in for the time being so you can get yourselves cleaned up. I'll have your things from the human world brought to you so you can be comfortable, okay?" She smiles kindly.

"You need a shower too, Bloody Mary," Namjoon points to Lucy's body, which is drenched in dried blood.

"I'm not taking a shower with you," she says, pursing her lips.

"I tried," he sighs in defeat.

"Kai," Lucy calls out suddenly.

"Your Majesty," Kai appears at the double doors of the throne room, smirking at her.

"Would you show these handsome boys to their rooms? Use the rooms in the west wing. Those are the nicest."

"Yes, Your Majesty," he bows to her before motioning the seven men to follow him out of the room.

"And could you send some of your men to the human world to retrieve the Princes' clothes and other belongings? They can't go running around naked, you know."

"Actually, I-"

"Man whore," Yoongi says, slapping Namjoon on the back of the head.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Kai bows again. "Will that be all?"

"Yes, love. You're all dismissed," she nods her head.

Kai sends her a quick smile before leading the seven Princes out of the throne room, the grand double doors slowly closing behind them.

Lucy lets out a deep sigh as she collapses into the large throne on the center of the back wall.

"I guess I should go clean myself up," she says quietly to herself.

"Even though I look damn good covered in other people's blood."
