Have Strength, My Lady (Barbatos x Reader)

Where there is the jewel of the heavens, there is the pearl of the abyss-a title that you have the misfortune of bearing. It's only natural that Lord Diavolo wants to add you to his collection of treasures, and you're not surprised when he requests your hand in marriage. Even less surprising is when your parents agree on your behalf, leaving you to deal with the aftermath despite your being entirely unprepared for a commitment as huge as this.

Thus far, you've done a good job of hiding your fear with a smile, of hiding your emotions away so that no one but you knows how you feel. But on the way to the palace, a certain demon butler sees through your facade. And when his involvement in your life increases, you can't control the way your heart begins to beat faster around him.

There's simply one issue: You're falling for the wrong man.
