He smiled his amusement. Didn't peg him for a newspaper comic sort, but oh how right he was... most of them are complete shit.
The duke chuckled. By now, the party had only just started slowly restarting. With the host as the focus, the rest could shuffle off and try to shake off their own respective nerves.
"A whirlwind courtship, for sure! Not even a peep of it for miles, and no news of a big, grand ceremony to boot. I would have loved to meet the soul who'd officiate!"
"Surely you're not hinting to any level of shame, are you...?" Lucifer asked evenly, the smile tight on his face.
"Not at all, not at all! Why, your wedding to the queen was straight out of a faerie tale... I thought your next would have been just as big, if not bigger! The people would have loved to hear that their king had moved on, after all..." The demon chuckled, while the girls leaned upon him and returned to their drinks.
"Yep, well- that's what that old press conference was for. Sorry you missed it." Keeping things casual, he polished his claws on his scarf.
The duke's grin widened, but the eyes narrowed a bit. "...I see. Congratulations to you and the Prince Consort. May you have many happy years together."
