Walking into the abode of the king of Hell himself and developing a crush in the first few minutes is not what the helpless princess expected. Its not her fault though, the subject of attention here was undoubtedly one of the most ethereal creature to ever exist. So a valid defence for her uncalled for situation would be those enthralling eyes and that deep yet tender voice.

The same voice which was now ringing in her ears to snap her out of the dazed state she had entered in, unexpectedly.

"Princess? Are you there? Can you hear me?" called the hypnotizing voice and then came a soft hand, lightly patting her shoulder.

That did the trick and Viri's previously shut system started working again as she blinked furiously, finally starting to process her surroundings. Curious eyes took in the figure in front of her that belonged to an unfamiliar demon staring right back at her with a slightly worried expression. After a few moments of silence, she successfully took a hold of herself deciding to break the awkward silence.

"Aah yes, I just zoned out for a moment. I am sorry, did you say something?"

"Oh! I see and yes I was actually looking for you and I found you here. Did you perhaps got lost or were you genuinely just exploring the palace? Noone knew where did you go, so I came to find you."

"Oh no, I am really sorry for the inconvenience. I was just umm.. exploring these lavish hallways." was her nervous reply as she tried not to make a fool out of herself.

"No no its alright princess and yeah! This palace is just the most beautiful one.. thats why I prefer staying here more than my own kingdom." he replied, as he chuckled at his own words.

"Which kingdom? I mean where are you from?" she asked in an eccentric tone, wanting to hear the man's melodic voice endlessly.

"Ahh my bad. I should have introduced myself beforehand. I, my lady, am the prince of Jeonovia and they call me Jeon Jungkook."

"Yahh! Are you even listening to whatever I have been throwing out of my mouth with so much hardwork??" sneered an annoyed voice of an equally annoyed Yoongi.

The reason being the sudden disappearance of his sister when the king was supposed to welcome them into the palace. He knew Taehyung and loved him like a younger brother but it would have been the first meet of Viri and the youngest king of Hell till date. The princess had expressed her excitement to meet the king on their way here and yet she had decided to disappear into thin air at the end moment.

"I was just looking around but then I got lost and couldn't find my way back...Prince Jeon helped me to get back but you all were already gone by that time."

"Oh? Kook helped you out? Thats nice of him and I hope you thanked him for his help?"

"Of course I did hyung! what do u take me for?? I thanked him thrice and I am willing to thank him more if I see him again.." she replied dreamily as her thoughts went back to the certain doe eyed demon.

"You will meet him again at dinner today. All of the royalities are eating together and if the king doesnt have any work..he is going to join us too" informed her elder brother before exiting the room, leaving his sister to get lost in her daydreams again.

※※※※

The royal dining hall was all lit up with the chatters of the royalities and the beautiful chandelier hanging right above it. The doors to the balconies were left wide open to let the cool breeze of the night travel in and give ease to the elite demons settled inside.

Every few minutes the royals of a kingdom would enter and take their places at the table all coming to satisfy their hungry selves with the gracious presence of the emperor himself.

The royal advisor, Jimin moved around gracefully, making sure every guest is comfortable and happy in their king's abode. His pretty eyes took in the scene as he scanned the royals to find the ones he is truly comfortable with only to be dejected when he found not a single one of them.

"Aishhh! I know Taehyungiee is busy and will be late but where the hell are the others??? Did they ditch me and this dinner? Suga hyung and Viri arent here yet too...ughh" he whined to himself while simultaneously giving the warmest of smiles to anyone who looked his way, his eyes still wandering towards the entrance waiting for any of his friends to show up.

Meanwhile, the siblings of Augosuga were making their way down the large hallways to reach the dining hall. The atmosphere was eerily silent between the two, one going willingly and the other unwillingly dragged along.

"Are you that bored already? Cmmon Viri aah, you wont get that bored we all will be there right?" Yoongi, who had noticed his sister's sulking, asked with a low voice.

"You guys are all boring hyung! I know your conversations will all be about royal matters..aah im already so bored. The only reason im going is because i want to see jungkook ssi.." she replied with a sigh not even trying to not sound lovesick.

"Waah! Jungkook? You like him or what?"

"LIKE???? NO!! Why and how would I like him when i met him just today? Its just he seemed a bit more interesting than all of your old asses"

"Yeah maybe because he is not that much older than you..and I would very much like you to mind your language in the royal hall my little sister"

"Little who- wait is tha-..Jungkookssi!!!!"

The said demon looked ahead to find the two siblings standing in the hallway looking right back at him. He hurriedly made his way towards them, bowing at his hyung and then hugging him afterwards.

"Yoongi Hyung! Its been such a long time since i last saw you.." the prince said while hugging his hyung tight.

"Yah yah jungkookie..we literally met last month only pabo. But what are you doing here? Not joining us for dinner?" asked the king before pulling away from the hug.

"Last month is still way in the past hyung!! And yeah an unexpected situation has emerged..a few royalities made their way through the main town and now people have come out in huge crowds blocking their way to the palace. I am going there to make sure they face no further inconvenience, so I gotta rush now! See you later hyung and you too princess" the young prince explained as he hurriedly walked away soon disappearing into the hallways.

The reluctant eyes of the princess kept staring at the path taken by the prince until she was shook out of her daze.

"Would you like to accompany him to the main town? You are getting bored here anyways, might as well go and explore the town" the elder one asked, well aware of what his sister wants.

The bright eyes, big smile and a hurried thank you was what he got as a reply, as he saw her running down the hallway to catch up with the prince. The king of Augosuga couldn't help but chuckle to himself at his sister's behaviour as he slowly resumed his journey towards the dining hall.

※※※※

While a dazed Viri took hurried steps towards the main entry of the palace in hopes of catching up with Prince Jeon, there was another soul, also called King Kim Taehyung, walking in the opposite direction towards the dining hall in an equally dazed state.

Both were so lost in their thoughts and hopes that they failed to register the beautiful tug in their hearts as soon as they walked past each other also failing to notice the other's presence.

One was hoping for someone's company for that night while the other was hoping to find the one he is going to have as his company for the rest of his life.
What they didn't know was their hopes being connected to an extent where many other hopes were to be shattered.
They certainly didn't know, the moment their story begins the whole realm of Hell will be affected. Whether that effect would be unlimited happiness or unforgiving wrath, only time will tell.
