        The Daemos didn't need to think you were royalty to fall for you. They focused on your kindness, your mind, and the way you treated them in comparison to how they had been treated on Daemos. They had no intention to leave you and Ava... you made them feel safe and happy. Whether they knew it for sure or not, they were all starting to love you.

        The most prominent fighters in the war for your attention were Asch and Rhys. Asch had been feeling something new for you and asked his trusted advisor what it was. And when Rhys explained that it was love, and that Rhys felt it for you as well, Asch was not happy.

        Neither Asch nor Rhys would actively try to hide their feelings from you, resulting in you being filled with conflicted feelings. How were you supposed to choose between the hot-headed yet cute Daemos prince and the charming and intelligent advisor? It felt like an impossible choice and your indecision caused more of a clash between the boys.

        Ava, not being involved, always enjoyed watching the two fight for you. She wanted the best for you as your friend, of course, but she was really entertained by the comedy of Asch and Rhys' discussions. Not to mention the way your face would always be red through it. She watched it like the boys watched Socky the Sock Puppet. And that day was no different...

        You had been relaxing on the sofa with Ava, Pierce, and Noi when Asch walked into the room and sat beside you. You gave him a questioning glance. "Um... h-hi...?"

        Asch cupped your face, his thumb brushing over your cheek in an unusually soothing way, so much in fact that you couldn't help but lean into his touch. "How are you feeling today, pet?" He asked.

        "Ah..." You were confused. That question didn't sound like Asch at all. "I-I'm fine, I guess..."

        The Daemos prince smirked, his eyes scanning over you. "I asked how you were, not how you looked...~"

        Ava burst out laughing, but it sounded like a distant blur. You didn't think you had ever felt so flustered in your life. When did Asch get so smooth...?! You wondered.

        "Your majesty, please!" Another voice interjected. Rhys walked over from the wall, pulling you away from Asch and into a protective embrace. "Leave them alone, you're clearly making them uncomfortable..."

        You shook your head, resting a hand on Rhys' chest. "N-No, Rhys! I-I was fine w-with it..."

        Rhys and Asch looked back to you. Asch wore a proud look on his face. "Ha!"

        "I-I..." Rhys stuttered out, seemingly defeated. But then his grip tightened around you and you felt something coming. "Well, in that case..."

        In an instant, Rhys had spun you around before lowering you into a graceful dip. A shock squeak escaped you as your face became impossibly red. The volume of Ava's laughter only increased, still the worst had not yet come.

        "(Y/n), my love..." Rhys spoke in a soft tone that made your heart melt. "If I were a spirit, I would spend all of my nine lives with you." He raised your hand to his lips and kissed your knuckles. You felt as though you were about to explode, even after Rhys brought you back to your feet.

        Asch growled. "That is not fair, I barely touched them!" He argued.

        "Au contraire..." Rhys hummed, smirking and shaking his head. "All's fair in love and war..."

        "Why you son of a-"

        And so another argument began between the two Daemos. Pierce grabbed the back of your shirt and pulled you to his side, saving you from the line of fire. You looked over at Ava, who was recording the fight on her phone with one hand and eating popcorn from a bowl in Noi's arm with the other.

        Pierce tilted his head. "Where did you get that?"

        "Shhh!" Ava hushed him. "It's getting good...!" She popped another handful of popcorn into her mouth before focusing on the video. "If I posted this, I'd get sooo many views..."

        You held your head, not looking back at Ava. "Please... Please don't post it..." You muttered, rubbing your temples.

        A few more minutes passed of watching the fight before Ava's phone died and she yelled out, "USELESS!" catching everyone's attention. Asch and Rhys had finally stopped fighting...

        You were more than ready to walk back over and set things straight when a certain assassin phased in out of nowhere, and tossed you over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "They're mine!" He yelled at the others before booking it out the door.

        The remaining group all watched in shock for a moment before Asch and Rhys charged after him.

        "Leif, no!"

        "Get back here!"

        Ava, Pierce, and Noi stood by watching the two leave the house. Noi looked at Ava with concern. "Um... Sh-Should we f-follow them...?"

        Ava shook her head. "Nah, it's not our problem..." She said, calmly. "Let's just go watch Socky."
