NOONES POV

It had been a long day of classes as usual. Wake up really early in the morning, be at school until 6pm; it really took a toll on you.

"Why the hell does school gotta be a 12 hour event?" You grumbled.

Your personal servant smiled apologetically.

"It's not too late to switch to home schooling milady."

With a hum you leaned further back into the seat. The various trees and buildings you passed by on your carriage ride home being your source of entertainment. "I suppose I'll give it some more thought."

"Good." They nodded, "Do you have homework you need to attend to right away?"

"Nope. Just something from Astrology but it's short and can be done quickly. So it can wait." You sighed.

With a nervous nod of the head your servant said, "Oh how good news." Then they continued to deliver on some more news, "Because...you are too must attend a gathering with your father and mother in less than an hour."

They shrunk into their seat. They had been your servant for quite awhile, the family name they carry being servants for the (L/n) clan for generations. So it's safe to say they are no strangers to the anger their nobles posses.

"What?" You snapped.

"It's...it's mandatory milady. I apologize." They bowed.

Gritting your teeth and narrowing your eyes, you glared out the carriage door window. "I'm at school for 12 FUCKING HOURS." You hit the seat with a fist. "I have music lessons for 2 hours RIGHT AFTERWARDS." Another punch. "And now I'm forced to attend some stupid noble gathering?!" And a few more hits to the seat.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?!" You continued beating up the seat.

"Thank goodness she isn't physically strong." You servant gulped. If you did have your family strength-no...-a SHRED of demon strength, your would have completely broke the carriage with the punches you were giving it. However you were cursed with weak strength. That's probably why you got the most passive servant from the bunch now that they think about it.

"Milady please calm down. I promise to help you prepare for the event so to as get it over with as quickly as possible!" Your servant spoke up after a few moments of you beating up the carriage seat.

"Good!" You snapped back at them.

"Remember to smile (Y/n)." Your mother placed a gentle hand on your shoulder. She wore a beautiful gown that was undoubtedly expensive.

Your father nodded, "Yes. It is not proper for a lady to frown."

He then held out his arm for your mother to take. They gave you one last look before walking ahead of you.

Your servant stayed behind you as you walked behind your parents. They were in their own special outfit for the event.

Now what about you?

You were wearing an expensive gown. One hand made from the manors tailors. They were undoubtedly given a large budget to make the gown. Every layer of the gown had to have a high cost.

'It's so heavy.'

You internally complained.

Your parents stopped to chat with a woman clad in pink; Asmodeus Amaryllis.

Stopping, you stared at the woman in slight awe. 'Woah. That's the seduction woman on the 13 crowns.'

"Oh and who might this be?" She looked back at you.

Your mother gestured towards you, "This our eldest daughter; (L/n) (Y/n)."

You bowed your head in greeting and honour, "It's a pleasure."

The lady smiled at you with a large grin. "Oh how cute! You know my son is her age!" She then turned around and called to the back of the hall. "Oh Alice!"

Emerging from behind a crowd of people, a young man your age began making his way towards your little group. He wore a lot of white and pink, with gold and a deep royal purple here and there. He looked like someone who would be royalty.

His face though...

'He's cold.' You noted.

His face held little warm welcoming. Instead his eyes were sharp, frown set in place, head held high.

He looked so proper.

"Yes mother?"

His voice was firm. No mumbles laced his voice when he spoke. No enthusiasm.

"This is the (L/n)'s; (F/n) and (M/n)." She then turned to you, your parents even stepping out of the way to properly introduce you, "and this is their cute daughter, (Y/n)."

His cold pink eyes met your own. "It's a pleasure to meet you." You both bowed in greeting.

"I know. Why don't the two of you go off and chat for awhile?" Amaryllis chimed.

Your parents gave her a questioning look.

She then continued, "Their aren't too many other's here their age. It would be good for them to talk."

Asmodeus and yourself sat at a table off to the side. It was awkward and no one said a thing. It had been around 20 minutes since both your parents decided to leave you two to chat.

'This is so awkward.' You thought with a sweat drop.

Taking a look around the room, you spotted your servant standing at a nearby door. They were undoubtedly looking after you, but had to keep their distance.

'Save me!' You internally cried.

"Asmodeus!" A shrill cry.

Looking over to the main floor, a group of young ladies made their way over to your table.

'If their are other people our age why am I forced to be the one to sit and talk with him?' You wondered.

Asmoedus rised from his seat, "Hello."

You didn't know if you should too stand. They weren't here to talk to you obviously but it felt rude to continue sitting when their are clearly people here to talk.

"Would you care to dance?" One of the ladies asked.

"With me?" Another spoke.

"I'd love to share a dance with you Asmodeus!" Another budded in.

'He's popular.' You noted.

Taking a proper look at him, you noticed that he is rather handsome. He's tall, got a slim face, slim body, good posture, beautiful hair, cold eyes, looked good in a suit too.

You bit your lip, turning away as a light blush tinted your face.

'He's beautiful.'

"I apologize ladies but I am unavailable to provide a dance for any of you." He told them.

You glanced up at him. 'Don't you wanna leave this awkward table?'

"Awe but why?" They whined.

Asmodeus gestured towards you, "I am having a meeting with miss (Y/n) here."

You forced a smile, it being rather awkward, when they turned towards you. "H-hi." You cursed your stutter.

Quite a few of the ladies gave you nasty looks. While others at least tried to smile at you.

They walked away after a few more words with Asmodeus. Said man then returned to his seat across from you. "I apologize about that." He finally said.

You nodded, "It's quite alright."

"Are you certain? I saw the looks they gave you." He turned his attention towards you; actually speaking with you.

You met his eyes, "I am certain."

He was slilent for a moment before raising an arm to call for a waiter. "Allow me to get us some dinner. To make up for their rude intrusion."

"You could transfer to Babyls." Asmodeus suggested.

Twirling your spaghetti around on your fork, you replied, "Oh yeah? Why's that?"

For the last half hour the two of you had actually started a conversation and kept it going. Surprisingly. You chatted about various things; from food, to family, to school. He even allowed you to complain to him about your busy education schedule.

"It's a fine school. With prestigious professors and an active student body." He took a bite of his food.

"How's that different from any other high school do you think?" You question.

He swallowed down his food before continuing, "Admittedly I am unsure myself. We too have a long school schedule. From very early in the mornings to a bit later in the day."

You sighed in disappointment.

His cold and stern face then warmed up into a smile, "But I wouldn't go anywhere else. As long as Master Iruma is there, along with Valac, then I'm happy attending Babyls."

Ba-dump

'He smiled...he actually smiled...' You looked down at your food. Just anywhere to not directly look at him.

Clearing your throat you forced yourself to look back at him despite feeling rather flustered for some reason. "You've mentioned this Master Iruma quite a bit. He must be quite impressive."

Asmodeus' eyes shined. His once cold face instantly becoming warm, welcoming, expressive, and especially, very happy.

"Master Iruma is more than impressive! Would you care to hear more about him?"

Normally listening to people babble on about other people would be annoying. But... Asmodeus is being so cute about it so...
"Yes. Please do tell." You leaned on the table, Asmodeus doing the same thing.

"They actually seem to be getting along well." Your father commented.

"Took long enough." Your mother sighed in relief.

"I'm so proud of you Alice!" Amaryllis gleamed.

Your father then coughed to get the twos attention. "I suppose this means we should continue our discussion."

"Oh yes!" Amaryllis clapped happily.

You mother nodded along with a smile, "So regarding the arranged marriage..."

With a hand on their heart, your servant smiled tearfully. "Milady... I'm so proud of you."
