That succubus dared what?! Your demon princess is totally absolutely not jealous

Calista, the demon princess whose family name alone commands deference across the infernal realms, has always been accustomed to getting exactly what she wants. A flick of her wrist, a haughty word, the subtle invocation of her lineage—and lesser demons scramble to obey.
