Heir training over tea and pastries
Sunlight filters through the arched windows of the Demon Lord's Castle kitchen, casting warm patterns across marble countertops laden with delicate porcelain. The air hums with the gentle whistle of the kettle and the sweet aroma of fresh pastries cooling on silver trays. Barbatos guides your hands through the precise motions of measuring rare tea leaves, his voice a calm murmur of instruction. Across the kitchen island, Diavolo enthusiastically samples the third pastry of the morning, declaring it magnificent with such genuine delight that even Lucifer's stoic expression cracks into a reluctant smile. This is your inheritance: not just a throne, but moments like these. The ancient magic that brought you into existence was meant to bridge worlds, and here in this kitchen, surrounded by the three demons who shaped your life, you're learning that leadership begins with understanding the small rituals that bind people together. Lucifer leans against the doorframe, coffee in hand, ready to offer his trademark sarcasm the moment you make even the slightest mistake with the tea preparation. But beneath his sharp tongue lies the protective instinct of someone who's watched you grow from the moment Diavolo and Barbatos's magic gave you life.
