The Prince of Hell continued to wallow in despair as his sister pleaded for help toward the newly arrived and confused Grimm.
Grimm, ever the gentleman despite being confused and unsure of what was happening, leaned down to talk to the Princess of Hell.
"Lady Charlie... if it isn't too much to ask... what, pray tell, is wrong?"
Charlie, despite her initial panic of her brother finding out she had just slept with someone who worked for him, took a deep breath to calm herself and finally spoke much slower.
"Well... for starters, I may have sorta, kinda, maybe... slept with Shakra..." Charlie told Grimm, causing her brother to cringe at the idea.
"Oh... I see. Well, I knew that much despite Your Highness speaking with such impressive speed, but what I would like to know is what's the issue?"
Grimm asked the princess, causing the crowned prince to stand from his desk.
"The reason why it's such a problem is because you barely know her," the Prince told his sister.
Charlie looked back at what he said, and with an awkward smile turned to face him and tried her best to... explain herself.
"Well, I have been training with her for a couple of weeks now, and I just wanted to have a simple date with her since I... kinda liked her, and us sleeping together was just a... let's call it a happy little accident," Charlie said with a cheery and awkward smile.
The Prince, still staring at his sister, looked over to Grimm, and without speaking a word Grimm knew what his lord wanted.
So, getting up from the floor, he gave the Prince and Princess a bow before leaving the room and leaving the siblings alone.
Once Grimm had left, the silence between the two quickly grew, as Charlie was not really wanting to speak with the awkwardness, and Stygian... well, he was thinking on what to say that didn't sound too far-fetched to believe.
The Prince, ever the caring and calculated individual, took a deep breath and spoke.
"Charlie, please come here," the Prince spoke with a total lack of emotion to appear calm and composed, but in reality the swirling emotions inside made it difficult for even his hollow form to contain.
But despite that, he was able to contain and restrain his disappointment for his sister and allowed her to sit across from him. Once she was finally in front of him and seated, Stygian took a seat of his own and spoke.
"Charlie, I don't want to lie to you, I'm quite disappointed in you. This isn't like you to take advantage of someone," the Prince told his sister flatly.
"But I didn't take advantage of her! We both knew what we were doing and both consented... I think?" the Princess told her brother.
"You think?" The Prince raised his nonexistent eyebrow at what the Princess of Hell had just told him.
"Well... we were at Lust, at Uncle Ozzie's place, and he told us to simply relax and he'll take care of everything. Next thing I know, I was on the bed with Shakra sleeping beside me," she told him sheepishly while fiddling with her fingers.
"Sighhh... so you're telling me that Uncle Ozzie's the one who made this all possible."
"Well, not just him. I was the one who asked her to the date."
The Prince stared at the princess when she told him this very obvious fact. What he really wanted to know was why she thought it was smart to ask the Sin of Lust for help in a date.
"Charlie, tell me, how does Shakra feel about this?"
This caused the princess to blush red and turn her face away from her brother, but despite that she spoke.
"Well... I really haven't... I didn't... okay, I haven't talked with her yet! I've been avoiding her all day, and it's been killing me!" the Princess explained, all the while curling into a ball in her chair and burying her face to hide her shame.
"Well... let's change that, shall we?"
The Princess quickly looked up at her brother, and with sheer horror on her face, said, "What?"
With a snap of his fingers, a changeling appeared from the shadows and landed beside Stygian.
This caused the Princess to get startled a bit, since who knew how long they were waiting. The Prince gestured the changeling over to him, and the changelings, ever the obedient and chaotic species to their creator, leaned in closer to hear his whisper.
To say that the Princess was panicking in this moment would be an understatement. She had no clue what her brother was telling the changeling and no clue if it was good or bad.
Once the Prince finished giving his orders, the changeling gave a quick bow before turning invisible and leaving the room.
"What did you tell him... her?" Charlie asked her brother.
"Her... and you'll see soon enough. Just sit tight."
Charlie gulped and simply continued to sit in her chair.
And only after a few minutes of waiting, the door behind them opened, and Charlie, looking back at the sound, immediately felt... terror.
Standing behind her was Shakra giving a bow. Charlie, taking this moment, curled up even tighter than before and did her best to hide away from Shakra.
But this was not to be. Shakra, after giving the Prince a bow, immediately noticed Charlie curled up into a ball and, with a soft smile, walked over to her.
"Greetings, Charlie, it is good to see you once more," Shakra spoke with glee.
"Hey... Shakra, good to see you too," Charlie told Shakra, feeling awkward and being constantly reminded of what happened just by looking at her.
"Please sit down," Stygian offered a seat for Shakra right beside Charlie, which caused the Princess even more reason why she shouldn't have told her brother.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Shakra took a seat and was happily oblivious to what was happening right now.
"Shakra, do you know why I called you here today?" Stygian spoke.
"Not at all, my lord."
"Well, it's about... your relationship with... Charlie."
"Oh! Well, if you must know, my lord, Lady Charlie and I have recently become lovers and made love just last night!" Shakra exclaimed, feeling proud.
Stygian, hearing this from Shakra herself, felt relieved? Like a burden was lifted and was transferred instead to his irresponsible sister.
Charlie, on the other hand, felt her cheeks flush, her pale face turning into a bright red as Shakra just confirmed she did like her... which inevitably caused her to faint on the floor.
Shakra panicked seeing her girlfriend faint and did her best to wake her up. Stygian, on the other hand, simply chuckled silently and felt relieved knowing his sister was in good hands.
