[A guileless, naturally flirtatious little night demon x a ruthless, secretive "priest"]
In the City of Demons, in Satan's Garden, there is a hidden shop.
The birchwood sign hanging from its door has two sides:
The front reads, "Renee Clara's Shop."
The back reads, "Your Desires, Fulfilled."
In tiny letters underneath: "Priests, Free."
-
The little night demon Clara is waiting for a priest. Before he left, he marked her forehead with a marriage seal, telling her to wait until she came of age.
Once grown, the little night demon rejected every social invitation and suitor from the great demons.
At last, one day, a figure in a holy robe opened the shop door. With gentle restraint, he kissed the seal on her forehead.
-
The demons went wild. Their little darling could finally wear a myrtle wedding crown!
But then something strange happened???!!!
☆--[Bonus Scene]--☆
On their wedding day, the priest gently placed a jeweled wedding crown on Clara's head, lifted her slender hand, and pressed a warm kiss to it. Their delicate matching rings slowly approached Clara's fingertips...
-
Then a panicked figure rushed into the church, and Clara heard the demons beneath the altar gasp.
"Huh? Another priest????"
-
Clara lifted the white lace veil over her head, her face full of shock.
The sudden appearance of this priest made the marriage seal on her forehead throb with an intense, resonant connection!!!
-
The priest who had burst in knelt humbly before "Him," trembling.
He said, "I beg you not to choose her, my great and merciful..."
-
She tried to struggle, but the "priest" before her held her tightly and continued to slide the wedding ring onto her ring finger, slow and deliberate.
He leaned close to her ear and chuckled softly, whispering tenderly, "Darling, what are we going to do? You've mistaken me for someone else."

[Served by an Octopus Butler [Monster Romance]]
[The First "Butler" x The Duchess]
-
Margaret was an ordinary scholar researching invertebrate mollusks. On the day she won the Nobel Prize, she died from the shock of being too happy and woke up as a duchess, married off for an alliance between noble families in the British Empire.
The duke was hostile toward her and left her only one butler, content to let her lounge around the estate until she died.
-
In the manor, the tall butler knelt by the duchess's skirt and held her fair little foot, slowly pulling up her silk stockings...
But the duchess didn't spare him a glance. Instead...
She was intently stroking the tiny tentacles of a group of hungry baby octopuses, completely absorbed in her research on the central nervous systems of mollusks.
-
Under the magnifying glass, seven or eight baby octopuses reached out of the tank with their arms and wrapped them around the duchess's fingers. "Her fingers smell so nice and feel so smooth. Come on, join us and slurp, slurp. Let's snuggle up and have fun!"
The butler's fingers twitched. His eyes were hidden beneath long lashes.
-
Afterward, a groundbreaking book on the origin of species appeared and astonished the world.
The queen awarded Margaret an order and made her a noblewoman. Heads of state from every nation fought over her, while the duke meekly submitted beneath his wife's skirts.
-
One morning, Margaret opened her eyes to find a huge painting newly hung on her bedroom wall.
It showed a gigantic octopus roaring amid towering waves. "It" tightly bound a beautiful, helpless human girl, its enormous arms layered into a nest that blotted out the sky.
At the same time, her personal butler was staring at her with a gaze that was passionate, dangerous, and feverish.
Butler: The duke has started sending you roses.
Margaret: ???
☆--[Bonus Scene]--☆
-
The duchess was busy today, tying little pink bows around the arms and heads of several baby octopuses one by one. They waggled their arms and bobbed their heads, making the bows flutter. They looked lovely.
Huh? There were supposed to be seven octopuses. Why was there one more?
-
A big, thick octopus was sneaking toward the duchess. It carefully lifted one sturdy arm and poked it through the loop of pink ribbon in her hand.
Once she had tied the bow, it swayed with satisfaction, watching the ribbon flutter. Then it slowly raised another arm toward her...
