A/N: Choose your own route. The more realistic scenario is in the angst section.
Wholesome:
- MC feels she’s out of his league: Diavolo is hurt; he wants people to see him for him, not his title. While he understands his title has a strong impact on people, Diavolo dislikes it when they put distance between him and them even before they get to know him. In MC’s case, he tries his best to make her feel comfortable and to get her to see past the title. Diavolo knows this will take a while, but for MC, he has all the patience in Devildom.
- Does he woo her: Yes. Once she gets comfortable around him, he will start wooing her little by little. Though, there are times when he wants to scream “I LOVE YOU” and get it over with.
- Will he sing his song: If MC doesn’t mind that he can’t sing, yes, he will sing his song for her, especially if he thinks singing the song will help her understand his feelings. Or if he finds out she likes another love song, Diavolo will attempt to learn the song. He can’t promise it will sound good, though.
- Ending: The day MC confesses her love for him, Diavolo will be the happiest demon alive. He knows that’s just the start of his long journey, but the prince is willing to work hard to get the demons to accept you as their future queen.
Angst:
- MC feels she’s out of his league: Diavolo is used to this reaction, and though he doesn’t like to admit it, he is THE future king of hell, and MC is a simple human. This doesn’t stop him from trying to make MC feel comfortable around him, but when he notices her feelings, Diavolo takes a step back.
- Does he woo her: No. He knows if he attempts to woo her, it will only end in pain for her and him. At most, he would be able to develop a hidden unnamed relationship with her, and a physical relationship, if she wants, but anything more than that is impossible.
- MC’s choice:
- She wants a proper relationship: If she tries to convince him to have a proper, named relationship with her, Diavolo will quickly put distance between them. He will ban her from visiting the castle, and Barbatos will help with this in every way. If you want to get a message to the prince, you will have to go through the butler.
- She maintains her distance: Diavolo is relieved that she understands. He apologizes for not being able to be with her and wishes they could have met under a different circumstance. Diavolo also hopes she finds another man in the future who she can love and spend her life with.
- She wants an unnamed relationship: He hoped MC would not make this choice but gives in to her wish. Hidden from all of Devildom, the prince meets MC and spends time with her – he holds her in his arms and showers her with affection, attention, and gifts. In public, though, she is nothing more than a human exchange student to him. Even if this pains her, brings tears to her eyes, or breaks her heart. He warned her at the beginning, didn’t he? On the day Diavolo has to take in a demon as his queen comes around, he will have to push MC away for good and pretend like he doesn’t know who she is. The prince dearly hopes MC gets tired and leaves before that day.
