"It was lovely meeting you, Alena." The king said with a warm smile "you are definitely much more bearable compared to your father."

"So I've been told" she says with a snicker while looking over the King's shoulder. Her father was already making his way back to Rosie's. The king should follow behind if he wants to see where his daughter had been.

"And, your Highness. Between you and me, Pa loves black roses." The doe demon whispered with a grin, making the small blonde confused "Why are you telling me this?"

"Eh, just in case. I'm getting sick of having one parent." She says before closing the door.

It took the king a moment to process the information before his face was a light flush of red.

"Your majesty?!~ will you hurry up?~" the deer demon shouted a few meters away, clearly annoyed.

"C-coming! " the king huffed before running over to him.

"Shorty." The red Deer said while rolling his eyes

"Bambi." The king responded with an eye roll himself while walking right beside the radio demon

...

"Ah, his highness himself! Such a pleasure to meet the father of this beautiful princess!" Rosie said with a warm smile while bowing to the king

"No no no, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for helping my daughter during the battle" The small blonde said with an easy smile, The annoying red head was right. People in this town are very friendly!

A little disturbing, but friendly-apart from Susan. God, they were right, that old woman really is an ornery old bitch.

"Oh your majesty, it nothing. It was Alastor who asked, he has never done me wrong before, so I trusted him with my people." Rosie said while glancing at the deer demon who was busy entertaining the princess of hell with a few of his jokes as he tried to explain parts of the bodies and how they taste like. And oddly enough, the tall blonde was quite interested in the new found information.

"I see.. " the small blonde said while gazing at the duo

"How are you with Alastor then, your majesty?" The cannibal overlord said while standing next to the king

"Pardon?" "You're staring at him like he's the only one in your world , just the same way you'd stare at your daughter"

What the black eyed demon said struck something in the king. He had been staring that way to his Rival?

"No no no no no, you must be mistaken. I hate his guts." The small king said with a low growl "Your Highness, there are still people out there who fall for their rivals too you know? I Heard the trope is universal favorite." The cannibal demon said with an amused look.

"Can't be, no way. I'm.. I still have my wife!" "Ex wife, your majesty. You can't dwell on the past forever. I don't know about you, but your Highness, if she left you and your daughter for 7 years without a single sign if where she is, I'm not so confident she still has it in her to still be your wife." She said softly

"Believe me your Highness, I know how it feels. I remember marrying my first husband.. I thought he was the one, but that bastard cheated on me 8 months into our marriage.."

"Then my second husband came, and that didn't work out too well either. They were my first ever victim's, and it felt good. To finally let go of the lingering love I had for the ones I thought was right for me. "

"But meeting Alastor, even if he doesn't understand the concept of love. He helped me out in his own sadistic way." Rosie said with an easy smile "He's a gentleman, raised well by his mother. He protects women from any sort of pain if he believes they're innocent. "

The king fell silent as he heard Rosie's story. Feeling sorry for the poor woman. "I'm sorry to hear that, Rosie. How are you doing now then?"

"I'm doing well now, your Highness. As I said, Alastor has helped me. More than he thinks he does. And I'm sure he can help you too, even if he's a bit less fond of men."

"Why does he have beef with men anyway?" The small blonde finally asked, curiosity piqued. "To put it in short, his father was an asshole. Abused his mother both mentally and physically."

"He grew up believing most men are like that, that's why he's more of a ladies man. You get what I mean, your Highness?"

"Oh, that's.. Sad.. " the king mumbled while gazing at the red head who was now enduring Charlie's wants. Wearing the headband she had chosen for him.

"It is. His first victim was his father after all, especially since his father was the reason his mother is dead in the first place. "

"Where is his father now?"

"Dead, I myself had killed that bastard with an angelic weapon and fed his body to the rest of the town."

"I- oh-" The king said, caught slightly of guard by the eating part. He really needs to remember he's still in cannibal town, goodness gracious-

...

"My deer, I know you're trying to decided which headband you want to give to your lover... But do I really look like a model for you to use while you decide?~" Alastor grumbled, annoyed yet slightly amused.

Charlie had already made Alastor wear 3 different types of headbands. A black one with small horns that reminded her of her emo phase when she was a teen, a red one with heart embroidery and right now? A white one with moth antennas.

"I can't decide though! They're all so cute and pretty" the princess whined while looking at the other options.

"You look cute" the king teased the radio demon with a smirk. "Whatever you say your Highness..~" the red demon said while rolling his eyes

"Dad! Which do you think vaggie would like? This one or... This one?" The princess said while showing the different gifts she was considering to give to her girlfriend
