/FORTY-TWO. blurred past\

-Y/n's POV-

•

Asch had to give me a crown that was supposedly used for the humans ball or something. It was a small crown with black jewels all over it. I mean all over it. It was basically all black diamonds or stones. It matched so I wasn't complaining, I mean it's still pretty.

Asch went to his bathroom to finally get dressed and I waited in his room. It was huge and covered with weapons, armor and was only lit up by red flames causes the room to have a red aura.His black sheeted bed was a comfortable place to sit.

I see some painted frames of him as a child and teen. I laughed at them seeing his very face scowling in every one. How sweet

He come out quicker than expected with his hair brushed neatly out. A golden tiny crown rested on his head and between his white horns. He had a similar leather black suit on but this time you could see his top from underneath. It was a warm blood like red fitted top, it was shockingly cropped just above his stomach. His toned stomach visible even with his leather suit coat around him.

It had the metal and jewels decorated on the right side of his chest. His leather black straight pants had slits on the outer sides just at the sides of his knees. The lining a bright gold. His shoes black and he had on now that same red as his gloves. He cleaned up very nicely.

"You ready prisoner?" He asked looking at me with a sideways smile. "Like what you see?"

"Hmm not really but I do like that jacket." I stand up and straighten out my dress.

"Look, just smile and wave. Tonight is going to be something." He rolls his eyes as he walks up to me. "Should I be scared?" I asked with a chuckle.

"Oh very. But don't worry cause I'm here to enjoy this shit show with you." He grins, revealing his small sharp fangs. "I can tell you don't have fun at these events huh?" I raised a brow.

Asch takes my wrist as he leads us to the door. "I wouldn't say that, it's fun for a bit but after the constant conversations with famous nation leaders and politicians congratulating you on things and trying to get you to either give money or food to their people it gets annoying. Very annoying." He states.

"Why do they ask you? Why not Rhul?" I asked and I hear him chuckle. "Exactly. They ask me cause they know in the future I'll be running all of Daemos so if they get to give a good impression to me right now then maybe, just maybe I'll do what they asked me as King." He says, his voice seeming tired. "But I've been dealing with this bullshit since I was born. People sucking up to me, acting like I'm made of pure gold and all they want is for me to share a piece of myself so they feel special too."

"I didn't know that Asch...I'm sorry. Maybe with my help I can get you out of those same conversations that you have to endure every time." I rubbed his arm with sympathy. I never really realized how much being a King would take a toll on him. I guess cause he's always acted so tough and entitled that he'd enjoy being praised as a new king.

Maybe I've been seeing him wrong...

At the ball

"Hello everyone! I'm so very excited to announce the arrival of our beloved Prince Asch who was on a special mission to Earth. Earth to which many of you know holds what we all love, humans. Prince Asch and his noble guards brought back someone very special for us..." Lady Bish announces at the head of the stairs above the ballroom floor.

All the guest are down below looking up to her with all different expressions of awe and curiosity. Some gasped at her announcement.

"I wonder who she's speaking of?"

"Earth? The Human realm?"

Murmurs of confusion spreads against the ballroom. I was stood behind some maids as for Asch. He stood on my right side just eyeing the back of Lady Bish's head sighs scowl seated on his face as she continued.

"I'd like all of you to raise a glass or hand for the fearless Prince Asch of Daemos and his date Princess Y/n of Earth!" She claps and the maids that were covering us quickly moved away to revel us. Ashe quickly grabs my hand. A new warming smile now on his face as he waved to crowd with his free hand. I mimicked his moves with my own smile pasted on my lips.

Cheers erupted from below. I saw many demons down on the floor with many different appearances. I tried my best to not look shocked at the sight of all of them. "Just keep smiling...It will last only for a second." Asch mumbles just low enough for me for hear.

He was right lucky, my cheeks were starting to cramp up. Lady Bish came up beside me and wrapped her arm around my side. "I'm happy to introduce this Princess into the family of Daemos. She has happy agreed to bring humans back to Daemos and allow us to be bonded with them again."

People cheer even louder. I glanced over to see a pleased look on the Queens face. "Now let the party commence!" She smiled and the music from the orchestra erupted and echoed through the room.

A few people walked up the stairs and I heard a sigh of annoyance produce from Asch. His gloves hand grips mine tighter. "Now it's time for people to suck up to you." He whispered.

.

After I've met some very important people according to Asch. The amount of Kings and Queens of other countries and lands lessened. Before I knew it Asch was asking me to dance. "Let's go ahead and give the people what they want. To see the human Princess dance." He smiled smugly.

"I'm sure they are all dying to see it.." I rolled my eyes. "Let me get a drink first and I'll come back to see if it's kicked in enough to dance." I push away from his side.

"You're dancing with me whether you like it or not." Ashe said as I walked off to the later display of food and drinks. It was at least 5 rows of tables covered so many with foods and drinks. My eyes widened at the amount. Some demons have been picking at the foods as I walk up. Each other bowing before me and stepping aside.

I reassured them that I'm just looking. They don't quite listen or possibly understand what I'm saying but nonetheless I try. I do find the drinks and see a shiny goblet to fill. As I reach for it another hand beat me to it. I follow my eyes to the hand and almost choke on my own breath.

"You sure are a beloved sighted to behold aren't you...Princess?"
