As Beelzebub entered the stunning garden of flowers within the white palace, Stygian was all too busy thinking and singing about what to tell her.
As the Queen of Sugar walked the gardens, smelling and simply adoring the Pale Blooms as they shined bright like moonlight from the human realm, unknown to her, the flowers slowly began to change her dress, turning her bright red gown into a shining pale white.
Once she finally noticed the changes made, she was obviously quite confused, but after she examined it more, she quickly grew to like the changes and simply went along with it.
Continuing her walk across the garden, she finally reached the small garden house that the Prince of Hell was waiting in, and once she laid eyes on his stunning form, she felt unable to speak, let alone stare at him.
But fortunately, through sheer excitement at seeing him, she finally spoke.
"Heya. Hope this isn't too much," Bee said, blushing while showing off her white dress.
As Bee twirled and showed off her new dress to Stygian, the prince was completely stunned and unable to speak. As he stood up from his seat and walked slowly toward Bee, she stopped to look up at him. Stygian reached out to touch her cheek and spoke a single word.
"Beautiful."
With that, the Queen of Sugar's face quickly turned from her usual light yellow into a crimson red.
"Oh… re-really?" Bee asked, as the prince suddenly realized he had just said what he was thinking.
"Oh! Uh— yeah, absolutely!" the prince said sheepishly, rubbing his nape before quickly looking away.
As both monarchs stood there blushing like teenagers, Stygian finally took the initiative, facing Beelzebub and taking her hand.
"If you would allow me," Stygian said, lifting her hand in a kind fashion.
"Hehe," she giggled before she quickly held tighter. "Lead the way, your majesty," she said with a smile.
Stygian began to lead her toward her chair, allowing her to sit down. Once she was seated, Stygian walked over to his side of the table and sat in his own chair.
Once both of them were finally sitting down, Beelzebub looked toward Stygian and spoke.
"So… kind of a last-minute date you've set up here. I mean, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the garden. The flowers are so… beautiful," she said, looking at the flowers surrounding them.
"Yes, and I'm truly sorry about this being abrupt, but I really needed to tell you something," Stygian told Bee.
"And what's that?" Bee asked, tilting her head and being a bit curious.
"I…" But as he opened his mouth to speak, no words came out.
Bee sat there waiting for the rest, and Stygian, not knowing what to do, improvised.
"I… just wanted to tell you… we should probably eat before I tell you the big news. Wouldn't want to say something really big on an empty stomach," Stygian told Bee, as he was far too nervous to tell her right now.
"Oh! Alright! I've never really eaten anything from your kingdom before, so I'm really excited for what's for dinner," she said with a smile.
"Then you're going to love this."
The prince grabbed a small bell from underneath the table and began ringing it. After only a few seconds, the sentries outside the door came inside with a trolley full of food.
Once they were close enough, one of the sentries picked up two small bowls full of fried silk-eaters and placed them in front of both Bee and Stygian, placing the needed utensils beside each bowl.
"Oh… these look… nice?" Bee said, looking at the fried worms in front of her.
"They're quite nice. Go ahead, try some." Stygian picked up a fork and began digging in.
Bee, though still skeptical, picked up a fork of her own and slowly lifted a silk-eater toward her mouth. She bit down and began chewing the bug.
As she continued to chew, an explosion of new flavors enveloped her tongue, making her drop her fork.
"Are you alright?" Stygian asked Bee, looking at her with concern.
Bee couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say. How could something that looked so… disgusting taste so good?
"I'm fine, it's just… do you have any more?" she asked, curious and slightly salivating.
Stygian simply smiled, and with a simple ring of his bell, the sentries began to serve every single meal on the trolley.
Before long, the table was filled with all the different types of exotic foods Bee had never seen before.
Bee stared at the food, salivating, and once she finally looked up at Stygian for confirmation, he smiled and spoke.
"Well… dig in," Stygian said.
Bee, with a massive grin, picked up her utensils and started eating.

(Song Start)
Intro – Bee, staring at the full table
Okay… okay… calm down, Bee…
One little worm tasted like heaven's pastry…
So why is THIS table looking at me
Like it's ready to change my whole personality?
---
Verse 1 – Bee, overwhelmed but thrilled
There's glowing fruit and steaming roots,
And something wiggling in a crystal soup…
There's crackling scales and moonlit bread,
A pastry that… is that alive or just well-fed?
Oh stars, oh stars, oh stars—
I HAVE to try it all!
---
Chorus – Bee, diving in bite by bite
One bite, two bites,
I'm tasting brand-new starry nights!
Every dish is wild and strange,
But gods above, I LOVE this change!
Stygian, what is THIS cuisine?!
I swear it's sinful, sweet, obscene!
This whole new menu's calling me—
And I'm answering greedily!
---
Verse 2 – Bee, mouth full, thrilled beyond words
This stew sparks fireworks in my jaw,
This bread? I think it's breaking laws—
I swear one sip of that shimmering tea
Just tried to flirt with me, Stygian—
It winked!!
---
Bridge – Bee, laughing and losing control
I've ruled a kingdom built on sugar,
But THIS? This is a flavor universe!
Every plate's a revelation,
A carnival of temptation—
Oh gods, I might actually cry…
---
Chorus – Bigger, more frantic
Three bites, four bites,
This dinner might rewrite my life!
If this is what your kingdom serves,
Then I'm about to gain ten curves!
Stygian, your food's a dangerous thing—
I swear one dish just sprouted wings!
This whole new menu's breaking me—
But I'm eating it joyfully!
---
Final Verse – Bee, with dramatic devotion
So don't talk, don't breathe,
Don't interrupt my ecstasy—
Your "big news" can wait its turn,
Right now I've got more food to burn!
---
Outro – Bee, grinning at Stygian
Bring the next plate, your majesty~
(mouth full noises of bliss)
(Song End)

"I'm glad you enjoyed the dishes, Bee, but unfortunately…" Stygian pointed toward the now-empty trolley and the mess surrounding it.
"Oh! Hehe… I'm really sorry about that. It's just that the food is really good, and I really couldn't help myself!" Bee explained.
"It's fine, Bee. I'm just glad you're enjoying yourself… because the next thing I'm about to say may ruin your appetite," Stygian said nervously.
"Pssh! Come on! Nothing you say can surprise me! So go right ahead!" Bee exclaimed.
"Well… here goes… Bee… I'm getting married." Stygian told her and quickly looked away, covering himself as he waited for the onslaught of angry yelling and Bee throwing items at him.
…
But it never came. Instead, an unusual silence filled the room. When Stygian looked back at Bee, he found her simply stunned and unmoving.
"Bee… you okay?"
