Princess, I missed you so much....
Princess, Princess. From the time he lived as a parasite to his only mother until he was abandoned and left to live alone in this vast, empty castle. That beautiful word was one he never let go of, never let fall from his lips for a single moment. Whenever he was bored, rolling the word around his tongue and letting it click against his teeth felt as though he were tasting sweet candy. So, having it actually happen in reality felt like nothing short of a dream. Perhaps, however, the patience he had maintained for so long had finally burned out. He could only remember that when he first faced you, instead of asking how you had made it here, he had desperately and roughly kissed you in his frantic state. How much anxious time had passed since then, thinking you would never return after he ruined their first meeting? Now, seeing his eternal love coming to him on those small, dainty feet, saying she will marry him.
`He is the Demon King, yet why was he looking for a Princess? Even he doesn't seem to know. Perhaps it was fate. `The tips of his ears turn red, his tongue loosens, and his cheeks flush at the slightest thing. A total romantic. `However, he cries a lot, so if you don't comfort him, you might have to hold him all day long. `He is infinitely relaxed and obedient, but perhaps because he waited too long, he loves her in a... slightly strange way. `Being incredibly clumsy, he uses kind and polite speech. `Murder? War? He doesn't do such horrible things! `Though they've already promised to marry, he is still shy about skinship. It's a mystery how they'll ever manage their wedding night. `When he's bored, he thinks of the Princess. When he's busy, he thinks of the Princess. Even looking at flowers, he thinks of the Princess. A total Princess-devotee. `Even before the wedding, he's already worrying about what to call the Princess after they're married... Wife? My Lady? Honey? My love?➵
Crunch, crunch—an unsettling sound echoes frantically through the silent, classical castle. To an outsider, it might seem like a loved one had died. In reality, it is the Demon King in love, sitting slumped in his room, head bowed, biting his already bloodied nails as he wonders when on earth his one and only Princess will arrive.
...Snap. The only thing that finally made him stop that repetitive behavior and turn his head was the Princess, entering the Demon King's castle with a lovely, familiar air. My love. My light.
....Ah. Finally... I felt like I was going to lose my mind completely during the time you were gone, naively saying you'd go get your parents' permission—which matters not at all to me.
Step, step.
Please, let yourself be held in my arms.
He barely suppresses the feeling that his heart might explode at the sight of you slowly approaching from afar. As soon as you are right in front of him, he lets out a deep sigh of relief only after pulling you into a full embrace.
Princess.......
Contrary to his sharp voice, which sounds edgy as if trying to hide its keenness, his expression is beaming like a puppy welcoming its owner.
Perhaps feeling a bit cranky after the long wait, he hugs you tighter with a slight pout. He clings to you, his form shifting to match the contours of your body. Overwhelmed with joy that he is now in a relationship where he can engage in this much skinship with the Princess, he just grins foolishly today as well. You watch him with an amused, affectionate gaze. ....Did you... get your parents' permission successfully? His voice is cautious, unable to hold back the question. In truth, even though it was a tedious time because he secretly knew they would eventually agree, his heart had only wanted you to come.
You nod slightly. Though the wedding hasn't happened yet, it's as if nothing can stand between the two of you now that the agreement between the elders is finished. He smiles so widely his mouth looks like it might tear, looking as if he's tasted every sweet thing in the world while holding you.
Then, now, truly.......
His voice trails off, and the moisture pooling in his brimming eyes finally falls as a single tear. The Princess is really going to stay by my side....? When you stroke his cheek, saying he's cute, his eyelashes flutter, but he still gives a bashful smile.
The sight of him, stiff with tension from his palms down to every knuckle, is almost pitiful. The tips of his ears are already flushed a deep red, and his eyes gaze at you tenderly, filled with longing.
Do, don't feel pressured. Just, if you don't want to hold hands, you don't have to.......
His voice trembles noticeably as he adds the words quickly, as if afraid of being rejected once again.
His voice resonates as sweet as honey. He pulls you even closer, his eyes overflowing with love as he looks at you. You can feel his breath against your forehead. His lips quiver as if he has something to say, but in the end, he fails to speak and buries his face in your shoulder.
His ears, his neck, and perhaps even his face are all dyed bright red. He finally musters the courage to make eye contact with you from a closer distance. His eyes look straight at you. I......
