(y/n) stirs awake, blinking his eyes open.

The light of hell shun through his windows, causing him to squint.

He then stretches for a moment and sits up, rubbing his eye sockets.

Yawning, he looks around.

'Woah..... I feel really good' he thought.

The pain he felt last night was no longer there.

There was no longer any soreness anywhere on his body to be felt.

Nodding, he decided it was time to get up, and pushed his sheets off himself.

He got off his bed and walked to his bathroom.

Entering it, he turned on the light.

Upon entering his bathroom, he looks at himself in the mirror, and sees that his eyes are no longer pink, but completely white, like they used to be.

'They're back to normal again.....' he noted to himself.

The boy then looked at his body.

'I don't feel any pain anymore either, did I completely heal already? If I did, it must've been Stolis's healing spell' he thought.

'Does that mean I can take the bandages off now?' he wondered.

Thinking about it for a moment, he decided to 'screw it'.

He then took off his shirt, hung it on the door nob, and proceeded to remove the bandages from his body.

And with each bandage pulled off, he felt a little more free.

Dropping them on the ground, he looked over his body once more.

'I don't see any bruises or cuts..... wow' he thought.

He then crouched down and picked up the bandages, before throwing them into the trash bin next to his toilet.

'Well, that settles that, maybe I should try to learn a healing spell too, heh.....' he thought smiling, before grabbing his shirt and placing it back on himself.

After he was done with that, he brushed his teeth and left his bathroom, turning the lights off on the way out.

Walking back to his bed, he grabbed his phone and checked the time.

'Still got time for breakfast' he noted.

Unplugging his phone from his charger, he stored it away and walked to his footwear, picking them up and putting them on his feet.

He then opened the door to his bedroom and left.

.....

After walking for a bit of time, the boy arrived at the kitchen.

Looking at it, he smiled.

"Breakfast time" he thought happily.

He then walked to the fridge and opened it, before looking inside.

'Alright, what do I want for breakfast today?.....' he wondered.

After thinking for a moment, he decided what he'd like and grabbed what he needed to make his first meal of the day.

He then closed the fridge door, but upon doing so, Stella was revealed to him.

"AH!" He screamed being spooked, and dropped the ingredients, before the princess grabbed him by his neck with one arm and picked him up to the air.

"ST-STELLA!?" He questioned in surprise, choking to her hold.

'She's holding me with just one arm..... I didn't think she was this strong!' the boy thought, as he struggled to pry the princess's hand off his neck, and kicked his legs in the air.

"Who the fuck do you think you are? Just coming into my mansion, and making yourself at home?" Stella asked, looking at the boy with hatred in her eyes.

'I..... can't..... breathe.....' (y/n) thought.

He desperately fought to release himself, as he then began punching the princess's forearm.

As he fought back, Stella tightened her hold, squeezing the boy's neck.

Failing to free himself with what he tried, he ignited his entire body in the green fire from hell.

"AAAAH!!!!!" Stella screamed, breaking her hold on the boy and backing away as she held her wrist.

(Y/n) fell to the ground on his knees, extinguishing his fire as he tried to gain his breath back, breathing heavily.

Stolis, who was in his bedrobe, then appeared from the corner, wondering what happened.

"What in the hell is going on here!?" He asked Stella, while he watched (y/n) trying to recover on the ground.

Now breathing better, the boy looked up to the two royal demons, and would see Octavia enter the kitchen as well, watching the moment with Stolis.

"Just wait...... You two filthy pieces of shits will be dead before you know it!" Stella claimed angrily.

She then walked away, and left the kitchen.

"(Y/n)!" Octavia called, running up to the boy and crouching down to his eye level before examining him.

"What happened?" Stolis asked concerned, walking up to him and Octavia.

The boy sighed and shook his head with closed eyes.

"That lady really hates me....." He stated.

"Come on......" Octavia asked, as she then helped (y/n) up, getting him off the floor to a stand.

"Thanks" he responds, and Octavia nodded.

"Rrrrr, that bitch is no lady...... Not to me" Stolis commented, angered by the recent moment.

"Lady or not, I feel threatened by her, who's to say she won't try to kill me again while I'm here?" (Y/n) asked.

"I doubt she will, she hasn't killed me after all......" Stolis answers.

"She hates you too huh? Well that sucks" (y/n) replies.

"Sadly, yes" Stolis answered, softly frowning.

"Did you come here for breakfast?" Octavia asked.

"Yeah..... but I'm not very hungry anymore, not after that....." (Y/n) answered, looking down at the floor.

Stolis sighed and apologized, "(y/n), I'm so sorry you had to experience that, please don't let this make you feel unwelcomed at my home"

"It's not your fault Stolis....." The boy responded, before walking past Octavia and the prince.

"I'ma go to back to my bedroom" he notified, as Stolis and Octavia sadly watched him go.

Hurt by Stella's act, his appetite was ruined, and his view on staying at Stolis's mansion was changed.
