The School Idol Is A Demon (Part Three)

A/N: Last part of this mini-series. I'll move back to more normal grounds after this one.

[The School Idol Is A Demon (Part Three)]

Luna didn't know why she thought that Mama Eva was the nicest and kindest person that she did not have to be wary about previously. Clearly, the sensitive female had picked up on hints during the dinner that told her the half-truth. For her life, Luna could not imagine where she had slipped up.

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me what hold Vergil has over you, sweetie? I promise that no one will be affected if you tell me. Sparda and I will protect you from Vergil and Dante." Eva prompted one more time in a tone so kind and caring that Luna almost caved.

But at the moment, Luna was more afraid of Eva knowing about the full truth. She wasn't really sure why she was protecting Vergil's secret when she was now offered a way out, but she clearly owed Vergil and his siblings for helping her get over her chronic shyness.

"It is really nothing at all, Mrs Sparda. The only hold Vergil has over me is how much he loves me, and how much I love him likewise. I really cannot imagine leaving his side at the moment."

"Then, Miss Luna, may I shame myself to ask how does Vergil show his love to you?" Eva asked as she sat elegantly, bathing in the soft moonlight piercing through the large windows. Eva had led her to the master bedroom, seated them both in the small reading corner within the room and had gotten straight down to business.

"N-No different from a typical boyfriend, Mrs Sparda. Vergil treats me especially well and we used to go on dates after student council meetings." Luna prayed that her stutter was not taken as a sign of guilt.

"About those dates... were his siblings not with you those nights?"

"No, they knew about our relationship and helped to lie about having student council meetings that dragged." Luna answered sheepishly. "I'm sorry for having to make Dante, Trish and Nero lie to you and your husband..."

"Lying is the least of my concern when it comes to you, Miss Luna. You don't seem to know Vergil that well yet, and that is my biggest concern."

"We've only been dating for half a year, Mrs Sparda. I don't think I will know Vergil as well as you do."

Eva sighed heavily as she leaned against the back of her armchair, looking every bit like the dignified Beauty Queen that she was supposed to be. Luna had absolutely no doubt that if Trish and Eva were allowed out in the modelling industry, they would be covering every single inch of available billboard space.

"This is something that you need to know if you want to take the long road with him, Luna dear. I don't want you to get hurt because no one told you beforehand." Eva spoke with nothing but genuine concern that Luna did not really understand. Clearly Eva knew her son very well -that was to be expected -but for some reason, Eva was worried about Luna getting hurt from their relationship, rather than Luna hurting her son?

"I'll try not to hurt him, Mrs Sparda, but fights in a relationship are inevitable." Luna tried to comfort, but the clear look of concern was meant for her, and not Vergil.

"You don't understand, sweetie..." Eva looked conflicted for a long moment, as if doubting herself. There was clearly something that the woman wanted to tell Luna, but Mama Eva was struggling with herself. "I am a bad mother for saying this... but my son is not capable of love outside of his own family. Vergil is not the charming, shiny and all-capable man that everyone sees him to be. Inside, he is a hurt little boy hiding himself, pretending that he is fine and perfect in every way."
