((Request by  ValenRossi295 Request: 1) More Error son of Paimon and brother to Stolas, 2) One where Stella meets him (as a friend of Stolas) and falls for him. ))

Puppet not going to lie. Getting a little peeved with this butler interrupting their life. For peak sake they don't even know what they done to get that demon's attention.

It's like the butler was the bottom food changes of their many messed up problems. Heck, one time was non-existent. Now it is slowly rising up.

It truly was annoying and he was beginning to like this new life.

That was still weird to think sometimes.

Yes, Puppet, well Error, still have their memories. A bit wonky at times with the mind of a new child. Being a baby was still awkward to them. Their mind along with their body getting used to it. You want to know how hard and challenging it was to finally open a CHECK box. A very long time. The results weren't very favorable. Okay there were too in some cases they guessed but didn't mean they had to like it.

Not fun as they were always being watched. Apparently, they were quite small with some issues. Not that they could recall at times. Could have been during their depressive moods not being pleased to have started over. Which resulted in tube feed. That wasn't fun.

Neither was that look in their mothers' eyes. That worry, and panic.

It wasn't right. So, toughen it as much as they can handle. Even if there were so many embarrassments they want to forget.

Over time he just had to accept this. It didn't mean they made it easy either. Just for being themselves.

Which enough to make the household never boring.

Did pick up over time from listening that their mother a noble. Which makes them noble as well. A noble but their uncle the one with the rank and title. A Knight. It did confuse Puppet a bit since to them knights, soldiers and warriors are well just that. But apparently their uncle, that odd to think about too having another family member, the only Knight rank is this Goetia family.

Still, he think it's just ridiculous. That politics.

Until they picked up a sword at two.

Whelp, that was their uncle's fault. They were mad and took a cupcake away from them. So, reached over to grab one of the swords he was cleaning. It was a small one but it was the closes they could reach. Then pick it up to use it to hit him to get the cupcake back.

Well, got it back. Along with one very proud Uncle as they hugged them. Peeve at him still for taking the cupcake now being held. Puppet let it slide just happy to eat their cupcake.

So, seven years of sword training. He felt odd at times since the thing they were used to wielding was on their bone's attacks. Which eventually he was able to summon again from training and sparring.

His Uncle shouldn't have sounded giddy under that mask.

Not like their mother any better as she too will join in the sparring and teaching.

While the two do spare and teach them with weapons. It was the same with magic. Outside of that are homeschooled. It was quite boring to Puppet on certain subjects or would question everything the teacher would teach. Questions that lead to debates. Which apparently is a good thing.

Now if only Puppet wouldn't be such a back talker.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes, you are going to that party and that's final!"

"I don't know anyone."

"Exactly."

Probably one the downsides not introducing to Puppet earlier for potential 'playmate'. Along with rarely leaves the property unless one the rare moods to leave or not. Even after that will be moody and just stay in the carriage. Or hide away. Still, besides the rare few companions they don't mind having over. Puppet deals with them. Not rudely but notices them they will be here to talk, a small battle and work.

Puppet twitch to look at their mother. Hopefully to be by their side.

"It could be a good idea to meet others in your age group. You'll have to possible work with in the future."

Never mind. Both of them are after him.

"We already bought a present for the celebration."

"Who turning old?"

"Puppet they're only turning 10."

"And? That old in dog years."

"We need to stop giving you Earth books."

"I'll just find them like how you hid the cookie jar."

"I'm going to throw you down a pit."

"Fun." Puppet stop a bit and then eyes narrowed, "Is he going to be there."

"No." Delvin knew who they were talking about. "He rarely goes to other children's birthdays."

It was all lies!

"Puppet!"

Puppet looks up at his uncle. A look that screamed betrayal. Of course, then notice his armor shaking and smoking began to come out of their fist.

"Why are you here?"

"King Bael." The demon was very convincing to tell everyone to come to their nephew's party. Even the other kings.

Or else.

Whelp glad he was free from his schedule to come. Did bring one of his children to fit the age group.  Did he? Wait he did. Any who.

"How my little champ?" Paimon bent down and smiled big.

Puppet glared as he stayed close to Furcas. Pull their scarf further up.

"Still a little shy I see."

"I'm beginning to think when they threw that sword at you. That you lost a bit of your mind."

"Your funny Furcas and I got to say. Got a good throw must have gotten it from me."

"Theirs us too."

"Yes, you two as well. Speaking of your two I was thinking- "

"For the last time our answer no."

What is the question? Oh, it's nothing too extreme. You know just. Let Paimon have full custody! He'll settled for even joint custody!

Denied.

"Furcas come on. What about the duties? The magic?"

"Again, since it's not your concern or business. Puppet is doing fine and we don't need your own connections. May I remind you? Again. That they will be my heir for the position."

"Which is why I want to make sure everything is good? After all I had so many experiences being a father and making sure my children followed the path for Hell."

"I don't know about the father part."

"What was that?"

"Which child did you force to tag along with you?"

"You're so hilarious- "Then they stop talking. He had this look in his eyes.

Furcas didn't like that look. It's their planning look.

"Puppet wait right here." Paimon was very giddy and rushed off quickly.

The dark color bird looking up at Furcas is not at all happy. Even ready to beg if they can just go. There here. Let's drop the presents off and leave.

If only it was that easy.

Furcas sighs and keeps them close to his side. "We got to stay for a few minutes and then will leave."

His sister is not going to be pleased in the slightest when she finds out. Can already picture many practice dummies going to be replaced. Then his thought went to siblings. Along with his own question.

Oh, that sneaky son of a-

"Puppet meet your brother!" Paimon smiled wide and pushed his other child in front of Puppet. Let this plan work! "Stolas meet Puppet."

Now this is cheating! Furcas ready to drag Paimon and shake him. Did he only remember this one name on purpose today?

Stolas and Puppet look at each other.

"Hello I'm Prince Stolas." Stolas stared at the child that was close to their height. A bit taken back a few minutes ago from his Father face and drag him over. At least no longer alone to stand in the corner. He would have preferred going outsider find a room to sit down. A little relieved certain demon won't be here as they were sick. It doesn't mean it was any easy as many in his age group ignore him. Even the cousins he got to meet a couple of times. Now being dragged to meet somebody that Paimon can't kidnapped. At least not yet. It was quite confusing to the plant lover.

Click.

Wait.

Brother!

He got to meet one of his siblings!

Puppet eyes widen at the look expression on their face. Why do they look so happy? They didn't get it. The other boy was suddenly closer and began to talk.

"You're my brother? Oh, this is exciting. I never met one of my siblings! Well, my half-siblings bit that doesn't matter. Are you, my age? What do you like to do? Do you like to read? Ouch!" Stolas rubbed the back of his head when Paimon smacked him.

"Stop Stolas you're babbling away." Paimon eyes narrowed down at him.

"Right. Sorry Father." Head down a bit.

The King shook his head and looked at the other pair. "Puppet anything you like to say your sibling."

"Frogmouth."

Silence.

"P-Pardon?" Stolas very taken back.

"Frogmouth." Point at him.

"Frogmouth? I um what that?"

"Owl on Earth."

"Oh."

"You let him read books from Earth?"

"Believe me I do try to get rid of them." But always come back up somehow.

"Since when do you keep Earth books?"

"We don't." That's another mystery.

The two don't realize the children left.

The pair look at each other.

"Um would you like to get a snack?"

"Chocolate?"

"I think I saw some. Here I'll bring you," Try to take his hand but then immediately step back. The owl blinked in surprise until he saw his face. How weary they were and fidgeting. A little frown. "I guess I can go alone to check."

Next, thing they know Stolas was holding the tail of the scarf and talks. He looks content and happy as he got to talk about a book. Puppet listens while being shown the table of snacks. Occasionally, occasionally make a comment about something Stolas would say. The child would light up and be very giddy. To know someone actually paying attention.

Paimon in the background squealing that his plan work. Furcas shakes his head at the sight and Paimon behavior. Anyone else watching just steps away slowly.

"Your Butler annoying."

"Butler? But he not here."

"The one who introduced you."

"You mean our father?"

"Your father not mine Frogmouth."

"Can we change that?"

"No, you're keeping the butler."

"I meant Frogmouth."

Puppet shove a piece of chocolate in their mouth to eat. Wouldn't that be the last time such a topic of discussion was talked about?

That would be the start of friendship so to speak.

Scratch that Puppet doesn't use the term friend lightly. Wouldn't call it friendship at the beginning. Compare to Stolas who happily will shout it out. Well, that would be Puppet fault for not correcting them. But compared to everyone so far, their content around Stolas.

Paimon still no.

Delvin was very annoyed when she learned the dirty trick Paimon pulled. The only good thing coming out of this would be the half-sibling bond and their own connection. Didn't have to be like brothers. So, in a way you can say there was some agreement if one of the two wanted to meet the other.

Not Paimon.

So, at the beginning Stolas would be coming over to Puppet home a lot. Not mind you every day as both the boys have their own lessons, schedules and outside work. When Stolas has time, he is glad to come over. Even if Puppet can be very quiet and off for a child his age. But he never teases them about it. Never cruel. The fact is if Puppet didn't want them around, they would say so.

Stolas learns quickly Puppet can be quite blunt and honest. Will say it straight to their face. Witness it personally. Plus, getting hit with it too.

Soon we will witness it on rare occasions. It'll soon be towards the least expect demon he didn't think anyone would stand up too. At least their age group.

First, off Stolas somehow convinced Puppet to come to their home. The two have been in each other's company for five months now. It'll be the first Puppet will be over at their home. Only reason got away with it, along with Puppet silent agreement, was that their mother and uncle will not be at home. Sure, it wouldn't be the first time to be alone but it was with servants.

A first sleepover for the two of them!

Of course, Puppet made it clear they will harm Paimon if he tries to come near him. Many months back would have thought it was a joke. Until he learns about the sparring incident, along with a few other situations. Stolas hoped it didn't come to that. Only because to not be separated from the other if punishment were to happen.

The first day was a blast!

Stolas had such a good time with Puppet. It looks like Puppet seems to have enjoyed it if not confused on certain games. Got to show his books that Puppet asked about each other them. Feed the venus flytraps. Did have to stop them before they over fed them. Show him a few of his stone collection. The only distraction was when Paimon called. Stolas didn't mind but could feel the tension like Puppet was ready to throw the mirror out the mansion. All and all it were fun time.

Until the next day.

Stella.

Stolas didn't even realize it was the week she would be over. Lucky it was only going to be here and not her brother. Still, he wasn't thrilled. In fact, he was worry. Worry what she could say to Puppet and turn against them. It is such rubbish nonsense to think such a thought. But it's not the first time Stella, and Andrealphus, have done such a trick on Stolas.

Should have a bit extra faith when it someone like Puppet.

Now Stolas has run to Puppet about Stella a few months back. On accident mind you. It was a bad week for Stolas. During all that Puppet never once told him to shut up, be quiet, get over it or stop whining. Just sat to listen.

Then offered if they wanted them to break her neck when she a legal age.

Such things shouldn't be so casual coming out their beak.

Quickly had to tell them no! That they shouldn't do that. She is part of the Ares Goetia family as well. 72 seats. Would even be considered treason even if they too are a Goetia. Possible death! Maybe she'll change when she gets older. Excuses after excuses. No, what Puppet reaction was to that.

No, care at all. No, look like they were bored! It was like they were listening to a step by steps process on how to put furniture together.

After that barely much talk about her. Which was fine.

When Stella arrived, she wasn't in the best of moods. One to be back over here. Two one of her favorite dresses got ruined and can't be fixed. Three had to see Stolas face.

She didn't expect another companion to be here with Stolas. Maybe she should have paid attention beforehand. Didn't recognize the Avian with the scarf. Whoever they were must be a noble as well. Great another one who doesn't know how much of a crybaby looser Stolas is. Well time to fix that up.

"Who that demon with Prince Stolas?" Stella's mother asked the servant after he came back inside.

The three children outside. Stolas head down. Stella looking haughty while pointing at him. Puppet just stared at her.

"That my Lady is Puppet son of Legion solder Delvin and the nephew of Knight Fulcun." The butler tells her.

"One of Paimons."

"Correct."

Puppet stepped back from her and gave her this look. Stella did not seem to have noticed. Instead, just speaking to Stolas. Look annoyed while holding a book. One of the garden books.

"So, that the little one who been kept hidden." The father glanced out and then looks back at the mirror. "Half-siblings."

"Yes, Marquis."

Stella ripped the book away from Stolas and threw it in the fountain. She smirks at the teary eye owl.

"Well, it'll be good in the deep end. Heard the child rarely interact with anyone."

"He quite but a good child."

"Would be good for connection. The only Knight does have some influences."

"Indeed. Should bring Andrealphus as well to interact."

Puppet picked up Stella and threw the girl in the fountain.

SPLASH!

Three spun and wide eyes at the sight.

"HOW DARE YOU? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!"

Puppet jumps in the fountain to grab the book. Walk back over to get out. "I should have a spell to get this dry."

Stolas was too stunned at what he just witnessed. The horror in his eyes. "Puppet what have you done?"

"I pick up a book?" That spell should work on a book. If not could see about getting another one.

"Are you listening me?"

"Come on Frogmouth." Began to walk off with Stolas following him.

"Stolas you going to let them get away from treating me like this!"

"Puppet maybe we should go."

"No."

"I'll make you regret this! Do you hear me you freak! I was doing you a favor!"

"Well, I didn't ask for it and I like the book."

"Why would you like that crybaby?"

"It's called not your business pigeon."

"Pigeon?! My name is Stella!"

"Pity whoever pick that name was very wrong."

"At least it's better than Puppet!"

"Of course, the name is better. You're just no star but drenched bossy spoil brat."

Stella wide eye stunned and beak open up.

A few minutes later.

"Puppet apologizes."

"No." Puppet stares at Paimon. Stolas close by awkwardly holding the book that is now dry. Stella parents standing by too. Stella wrapped herself up in a towel and was quite surprisingly silent.

"I'm telling you." Paimon arms crossed. Great the first time Puppet meets Stolas fiancé and it's to throw her in the fountain. What a lovely way to start the day. Well, a time to be a father he supposed.

"I'm not going too."

"Your mother- "

"My mother would have smack me if I behave like that pigeon."

Okay that's sounds about right.

"Pigeon? No, what I won't ask. You shouldn't have thrown her."

"She shouldn't touch his stuff and thrown it in the fountain."

"It was an accident." Stella mother piped in. "She didn't mean it."

"Preciously now if it was the grimoire that a different story. His materials will be her materials in the future."

"That's stupid thinking if you don't put in boundaries."

"Besides the Grimoire and whatever the other doesn't like. Look I'm running for a short time. Just apologize to her and you three can go back to playing games."

"I'll only apologize to the one who made the towel. That had to be sacrifice to make that towel that is now wrap around that brat."

Jeez they have been around Fulcan and Delvin personality way too long. If only everyone knew this was also just Puppet attitude in general when pushed to a certain level.

"Say you're sorry to me!"

"No." Stood firmly on that. "I'm not faking apology because you want it."

"I'm higher rank than you." Stella finally spoke up and glared.

"Who I don't respect or care. Plus, it's your father with the seat that holds the title."

"My family- "

"I don't care who your family is. You're not my family. You will never be my family when that stupid wedding arrived. You're a bully. You, your brother and followers always bully him. A spoiled brat who thinks they deserved it all. You're not the only one who doesn't like this ridiculous married game."

Stella took a step back when they took step in front of her. The scarf went down to see the child's beak twitching. The blue marks against their cheeks shimmering.

"Keep picking on him. Any of you in that stupid follower's cult and see what will happen. I will shatter you to pieces if you cross me."

All of them just wide eye stunned at what they just heard and witness. The emotions for one but the truth in their eyes.

Puppet will follow that threat and promise.

Stella stared at him in shock. Not use to being talk back like this. It was one thing with her brother and parents. This was someone outside of that circle. Someone who practically has a lower rank. Someone not caring who or what she is. Someone who fighting back instead of following her or just get out the way.

Someone standing up against her equally.

"Puppet! No for blasted sake!"

"Stella, do you have anything you want to say?"

Everyone looks at the little Lady to see what she will do. What she said next, well, none of them were ready for that.

"I want to marry Puppet!"

Never throwing anyone in a fountain again.

~ ~ ~ ~

Done!

Error/Puppet doesn't get a break at all.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye!
