Twenty-Five Years Ago
(Age of Luca and Dante: Seven)
“My prince,” I called, walking into his bedroom calmly.
Luca just gazed over from his window, brows drawing together. “What is it, Dante?”
I just stepped over to him. “Did you hear? They’re making you dinner early for you.”
Luca’s eyes widened in fascination, and he smiled. “Really?”
I nodded.
He just rushed over to me and threw me into a hug, making me blink when he let go and smiled. “You’re so great Dante! This is the best birthday ever!”
I smiled slightly when he let go, and he gazed up at me.
“Would you like me to change your clothes, my prince?” I said then, gazing down at his night outfit. “Have you been wearing that all day?”
“I like it,” Luca said then, smiling as he laughed. “It’s so comfy! You always pick out the best clothes for me, Dante! You’re the best servant I could ever ask for!”
A small smile curved my lips. “You really think so?”
“Ah, yes!” he said, giggling. “I might be the prince of hell… and you might be my servant, but at least I know I have a friend here ever since mom and dad left me here.”
My lashes lowered.
Yes… they did leave him here. But it was for his own good.
It sounded stupid, but hell was actually much safer for him than Earth.
But a small smile curved my lips.
A friend… huh. He considers his main servant a friend?
I guess I was his age, though. But with demons, we always started working very young.
I might’ve been born in a servant family, but… I enjoyed serving Master Luca. He had a beautiful spirit and adorable kindness that I could never have.
I enjoyed caring for him and cooking for him and clothing him… I even convinced the main chefs here to make his dinner early because it was his birthday.
He told me he didn’t want anything because he had everything he wished for, but… I was just so glad that I could do something for him. He meant everything to me.
I just gazed down at him, lightly pulling his hair back in place after he ruffled it. “You look a mess, master. Why don’t we get you all cleaned up for your birthday dinner?”
He gazed up, eyes sparkling. “Will you eat with me, too, Dante?”
I just bowed before him, setting on my knee as he gazed down at me, eyes sparkling. “If you so wish, my prince… I shall do it.”
