Chapter 14 - Lust and Anger

A year had already passed in the human world but for the married couple, it was just a few weeks. The Princess started to adapt to the new environment where she is now living. She didn't fail to contact Gia every time and she finally told her that they will be back soon. Excitement filled their voices and conversations. The engaged couple will be married soon and they will fulfill their promise to attend it. So far, she has not yet met any bad people. She can't say that they are not bad because she always thinks that everyone in the underworld is full of sins and suffering. Her own judgments are making her feel that she doesn't really know her. Is she a bad person? Did she commit a grave sin? Curiosity kills the cat. Her journey as the underworld princess is just beginning. 

"What are you thinking?" The Prince asked and she smiled when she was cut out from her reverie. He kissed her forehead and heaved a light sigh. 

"I'm just thinking about some things. Everyone is nice here. I don't know why they are here instead of in heaven." He laughed softly, sitting beside her. She looked at him and pouted. Whenever she is curious about things, he will always laugh first before answering her questions. 

"Because you're nice to them. Being nice doesn't mean you don't commit any more sins. They are here because they committed sins that are unacceptable in heaven. Even though they want to get out of here, there's no way out. So, they accepted their fate that they ended up here." He explained and she slowly nodded. 

"Then, how about those who didn't commit unacceptable sins but ended up here?" She asked and he shifted from his seat, leaning closer to her. 

"Are you sure they didn't commit it? Don't you know that there is no love here? Only lust. We are not calling it love. We are calling it lust. Carnal desire, especially if you have too much in your mortal body, is an unacceptable sin." She pressed her lips together while staring deep in his eyes. 

Indeed, it is inevitable. Sometimes, love can be too much and it might lead to doing wrong things. There is no perfect thing or human in any world. Perhaps, she is just afraid to know her dark side once it is triggered. His gaze didn't leave her, so she turned to the side to hide her heated cheeks. His stares are giving her butterflies in her stomach. He wrapped his arms around her waist and started leaving kisses on her bare back. She is wearing a backless gown and his kisses are sending shivers to her spine. 

"You did one unacceptable sin. It is anger. Your foster parents have driven you to the edge but you were sane enough to leave the house instead of doing something that you will regret later on. You had too much anger but it eased when I came into your life. Though easing it is not a way to bring you to heaven." He whispered against her skin and she quivered. 

"I know.. I know that too well. I will never deny that because they pushed me to the edge. I thought they would love me for whoever I am but they only love my money." She mumbled and she lifted her chin, resting the back of her head on his shoulder when his hands crawled up to her chest and neck. 

"Always remember that you're dealing with the devil and that devil is me." He whispered in her ear and she closed her eyes before nodding. 

"You're such a sweet little girl, Fuyu, though you lived in a vile environment." He added and she felt his touches getting hot. He traced her neck with his fingers and she let out a tiny whimper. 

"I'm not always nice, Fuyu. I just wish you don't leave me once you see my other side." He slowly let go of her but she didn't move away from him. She turned to face him and then, she hugged him tight. 

"I'm scared but I know we can work it out." She continued to mumble and this froze him. He is not wrong for choosing her as his wife and the Princess of the underworld. He hugged her back tightly and kissed her temples. 

"I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you." She leaned back and smiled widely. She squished his cheeks between her palms, pecking his lips quickly. 

"You're not as bad as they said but it also doesn't mean I will tolerate the bad things you will do in the future." She poked his cheek lightly and sat up properly again. 

"Did you learn something from asking?" He asked and she nodded. They were chuckling softly when the King arrived with a toddler in his arms. 

"She is so cute." She said when she saw the little girl. The Prince stood up from his seat and another toddler arrived, swinging his toy sword while looking around. 

He saw his older sister walking in. Finally, after a long time, she got the chance to visit home. It is Fuyu's first time meeting her sister-in-law, so she doesn't know what to do. She started fidgeting, fiddling her fingers while feeling shy. He wrapped his arm around her, approaching the older woman. She smiled when it eased her nervousness. 

"Welcome to the family. Her sister-in-law said and her smile widened. She felt someone tugging the hem of her gown, so she looked down and saw her nephew. 

"You're so cute. Do you want to play with me?" She asked, carrying the little one in her arms. She blinked her eyes when he started staring at her. 

"Is there.. something wrong?" She mumbled and her eyes widened when the little one pecked her lips. 

"This brat." The Prince grumbled while the King and the older Princess were laughing at them. He tried to take him away from Fuyu but the little one clung on her like a koala. 

"She's my wife. You can't just kiss her like that." He furrowed his brows, still trying to take him away from Fuyu. The younger one chuckled softly, hugging their nephew closer.
