Happiness in love in hell (English version)

Chapter43: Will you marry me?

The following day, the Academy carriage picked up Beliath and Nereus again, Draven and Itona also departed. Tracy went to Lucifer in the study "and how does it all work now?" Lucifer looked up "I'll propose today, a few days later I'll announce that I'm engaged, I'll abdicate and your coronation. The coronation ceremony will take place next week." "Why are you so rushed if it's only a week later?" "You have to organise it properly" said Lucifer "but you couldn't wait a year?" Tracy asked angrily "we're not starting again now" "Starting? We never really finished it" growled Tracy and left, Lucifer sighed.

Lucifer left his office and went to Shinoa in the garden "I'd like to take you out for dinner tonight. I know a classy restaurant that also serves vegetarian food." "By class you mean expensive and upmarket?" Shinoa asked "Yes. So let May dress you up nicely" "May? Can't Saphyra take care of that?" "But May is responsible for you" said Lucifer "fine. When should I be ready?" Lucifer smiled "we're leaving around half past five" "I'll be ready by then" said Shinoa.

Around 4 p.m., May hurried into the garden "Lady Shinoa! Where are you? You're still late" "I'm late for what?" "Your date with His Majesty," May replied. "We don't have to leave for another hour and a half" said Shinoa, May pulled Shinoa with her "but I still have to get you ready and that will take time" "a dress and shoes and that's fine" said Shinoa "only you think that" said May and looked for everything in the wardrobe "you still need make-up and a hairstyle" "no thanks, I'd rather do my own hair and I can't stand make-up" said Shinoa "sorry that was an order from his majesty, I have to get you ready" replied May.

An hour later, May finished getting ready, Shinoa had an overdone hairdo, too much make-up and a dress that didn't match the shoes or the make-up. "Done, you look so beautiful" May said and pointed the mirror at Shinoa, at the same time Lucifer entered the room "Shinoa... you look... uhm..." "Ridiculous or stupid?" Shinoa asked, Lucifer shook his head "I didn't mean to say that, I meant..." "If you wanted to say pretty, then you both need to see an eye doctor. I'm not going like this," Shinoa said resolutely and went into the bathroom. There she removed her make-up, undid her hair and put it in a simple plait, swapping her dress for a simple, blue, knee-length cocktail dress and dark shoes. Lucifer's mouth remained open "wow..." May, on the other hand, was horrified "you can't do this, you've ruined everything!" "Thank you for your services, May, but they're no longer needed," Lucifer said "You're firing me?" "Yes. You wanted to make a monkey out of my lady" Lucifer said coldly "if I go, April goes too!" May shouted and left "Go ahead" Lucifer confirmed.

"Was that clever?" Shinoa asked, Lucifer nodded "they did well in rehearsal but that wore off quickly" "if you say." Lucifer pulled Shinoa to him "don't worry about it, let's enjoy our evening."

In the restaurant they were led to a table by the window, the table was decorated with candles and rose petals. "Isn't that a bit over the top?" "I only want the best for you," said Lucifer and pushed her to the table.

After the service staff had cleared the main course plates, they were given the dessert menu. "Do you want dessert?" Lucifer asked "Will you share something with me?" Shinoa asked back "I'd love to, what do you fancy?" "Maybe the brownie with ice cream" replied Shinoa "sounds good" confirmed Lucifer. When the service staff came back, Lucifer placed the order. "Excuse me for a moment, I have to go for little kings" he said and headed towards the toilets.

A little later, dessert was served with two glasses of champagne "oh, wait. We didn't order the champagne," said Shinoa, "your companion ordered more." The service employee replied, "Sorry, I didn't know that," Shinoa apologised. She placed the dessert in the centre and placed the champagne glasses slightly to one side when she spotted something in her glass. She took the dessert fork and pulled out what was in the glass, when she saw the object she almost knocked over her glass, it was a white gold ring set with many small gemstones, a diamond was enthroned in the centre of the ring. Shinoa saw something move in the corner of her eye and looked, she saw Lucifer kneeling in front of her.

"You are the most wonderful demoness I have ever met. You love me for my sake and not because of my power. You make me a better devil and the happiest man. I realised long ago that there will never be a more perfect demoness for me. And now that I have finally found my dream woman. I see no reason to wait any longer..." Lucifer took the ring from her hand "Shinoa Dragneel, will you make me the luckiest devil in all of hell and become my wife?" Shinoa was speechless for several seconds before she replied "Yes. Yes, I want to marry you." Lucifer beamed like a little kid who got a piece of candy and put the ring on Shinoa, stood up, pulled her to him and kissed her. The guests in the restaurant and the service staff clapped.

Late in the evening, the two returned to the castle and quietly went to their room. Shinoa kissed her fiancé and loosened his tie "Are you sure?" Lucifer stopped her, Shinoa pouted "if you don't feel like it, I'll just take a quick shower." She got rid of her clothes in front of Lucifer and went into the bathroom. Lucifer grinned and licked his lips, he also took off his clothes and followed her into the bathroom. Shinoa was already standing under the shower with her back to him, her head on his neck, letting the hot water trickle down her face. Lucifer opened the shower door, wrapped his arms around her body and rested his head on her shoulder. "Hello, darling," he nibbled gently on her neck, then turned her round and pressed her against the wall. He kissed her neck with passion. Shinoa's knees went weak "Lu..." she breathed.

An eager growl escaped Lucifer's throat, he put the water down, picked Shinoa up in her bridal style and walked me to the bed. In bed, he bent over her. Shinoa pulled him down to her and kissed him, Lucifer gently brushed his fingers down her sides. "My wonderful demoness, you make me more than happy," he whispered in her ear. Lucifer wandered down her body kissing her, Shinoa clawed her fingernails into the sheets. He gently pushed her legs apart "do it" came softly from Shinoa. Lucifer didn't have to be asked twice and penetrated her, Shinoa moaned. Lucifer got faster and faster, Shinoa's moans were suppressed by Lucifer's kisses. He continued to climax and then looked down at the exhausted demoness beneath him, he lay down next to her and pulled her close. Shinoa snuggled against his torso "my devil."
