NO COURTING ALLOWED!

Summary: Being a father, Yuuri made sure that he finds the best man for his daughter. But what if he decided that Greta will deserve the man when she's already too old? Greta would fight for her free to love, even if it means she has to fight her daddy Yuuri! Yuuram (of course), GretaxOC.

It was night time already in the demon kingdom. The Blood Pledge Castle stood magnificently while the bright brilliant moon shone on its cold stone walls. Loud music could be heard from the ball room situated on the west wing of the castle. It was the biggest ball room in the castle, which was now lavishly decorated in orange and white flowers taken from Lady Celie's garden, even balloons from Earth found its way into the castle. On the far side of the room, a small orchestra played catchy tunes to serenade the party. It was a party very worth to attend of course, especially if your unmarried. Doesn't matter if it's mazoku or human. Nearly everyone from the Great Demon Kingdom and the human countries were invited to Lady Greta Shibuya's 20th Birthday party. It was also a party held to search for suitable courters for the bright young lady. She was not the little Greta that would play most of the day anymore, she is now as tall as her parents being a human and if no one knew that Yuuri and Wolfram was her father, well, they might as be her brothers!

Everything was running excellently, the food was brilliant, the decorations glamorous, class one entertainment, little that the guest knew what the people in the Blood Pledge Castle had to go through to make this party come true. All because a certain man that looks like he's still in his twenties but holds the biggest power in Shin Makoku and even the human territories. Yes, it was the double black demon king that made the idea of making a party to search for courters, especially for his daughter, sound like a very dangerous idea.

At first, he only thought it was a very normal party, like all the other parties, he and his husband Wolfram has always held for their daughter. But after reading the invitations, all inside hell was loose. The people in the castle thought that the Maoh would come out! Yuuri made excuses not to hold the party, and very weird ones they were too.

Five days before Greta's birthday…

"I've made myself clear since last week! She's only twenty for Shinou's sake! You expect my baby to be engaged in that age?! Well, you guys are nuts! I won't let her to be courted! No courting allowed!" he shouted in his office.

Wolfram, Conrad, and Lady Celie stood behind the Maoh's desk not daring to speak. This is one of the rare occasions that they were afraid to talk to Yuuri. Not when his hot headed like this. Even Wolfram didn't dare to speak a word. If it was concerning their daughter Greta, Yuuri was as dangerous as the Maoh in his body. It's safest to let Greta talk to her daddy first.

"But daddy, I'm not a baby anymore! And if you've forgotten, I'm human! I age faster than you and Papa Wolfram. You expect me to get married when I'm old and wrinkly??" yelled Greta in front of her daddy Yuuri.

The Maoh stood in front of the windows not daring to see her daughter.

"Yeah, if that's the best thing. You're not old enough. And because I'm your dad and the great Maoh, I forbid you to be courted! A Maoh's word is law!" said Yuuri still not looking at his daughter.

Greta took long strides to the windows to stand in front of her daddy. Her long hair wasn't brushed yet and she was still in her sleeping gown. It was a very shocking thing to hear first thing in the morning-from the maids of course-that her daddy Yuuri wouldn't let her to be courted soon.

Trying to control her voice, she looked into her daddy's black orb eyes.

"Daddy, you are abusing your rights as the Maoh! There's no such thing that a Maoh could forbid me, getting married! That's just ridiculous!"

"What do you know about these things Greta? It's law and children don't understand law," said Yuuri, his arms folded tightly on his chest.

"Oh, don't fool me daddy. Gunter gave me A's for my law studies and you well know I beat you on that! Even Papa Wolfram said that he couldn't always get A's. I don't remember anything that says a Maoh could forbid someone to get married in the 87 volumes of Shin Makoku Law that I have read. Which I know you're still reading the 66th volume. So don't embarrass yourself Daddy Yuuri."

She thought that she had won her case, but to her dismay and surprise…

"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it. I'm the Maoh, you can't change my opinion. No one's gonna make me let my daughter get courted. No one is suitable for my daughter. No one is better than her daddy and papa.." said Yuuri over and over with a sing song voice.

If it wasn't for the situation they were in, the sight of the Maoh's childish act would certainly make Greta, Wolfram, Conrad, and Lady Celie on the ground rolling around in fits of laughter. It was certainly a hilarious thing to see the Great Maoh of the Great Demon Kingdom put his hands on his ears to cover it chanting 'I didn't hear it'. His features is now manly no traces of the boyish face anymore. Long shoulder length black hair that reminds them of the times the Maoh came out. The only difference is that his hair doesn't grow anymore when he uses the Maoh's mazoku powers.

"Daddy, I HATE YOU!" yelled Greta on top of her lungs, her face very flushed. She stormed out of the office slamming the door with a big bang.

That snapped Yuuri out of his chanting.

"H-ha-hate me? Is that what I heard? My baby, h-ha-hates me?" said Yuuri with huge puppy dog eyes and trembling lips. Oh, how they wish they could laugh!

"Wimp, now you've done it. Greta won't talk to you anymore.." said Wolfram with a very good sad face. Acting was very easy for Wolfram. Nudging both Conrad and Lady Celie on their sides to act too. This was their best chance to help Greta!

"Yes, Heika. Didn't you see her face? I thought I saw her eyes full of tears. Oh my lovely grand daughter.." said Lady Celie with a big sniff. She was an excellent actress.

"My, her heart is broken in pieces, just because her Daddy Yuuri the Great Demon King wouldn't let her hold a party and be courted. How very torturing," said Conrad graciously a hand placed upon his heart. Wolfram and Lady Celie's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets, where on Shin Makoku did Conrad learn to act like that?!

"Really? She was really that hurt? Huwee… I don't want my baby to get hurt and cry! No, I'm such a stupid wimpy dad!" sobbed Yuuri now on his knees on the floor.

A gentle hand patted his head, Yuuri looked up to find his husbands beautiful green orbs.

"Silly, if you want her to smile again you should let us hold the party. Plus a sorry would be good. Come on, stand up. You're the Maoh for Shinou's sake.." said Wolfram while helping Yuuri stand up.

"and no pouting," continued Wolfram after looking at Yuuri's cute pout. But the pout stayed there. The blond mazoku could only sigh.

The present. In the Ball Room.

"Lady Greta has really grown into a beautiful girl. My son would love to court her!" said an old lady dressed in a purple gown.

Lady Celie stood not far from the lady. In fact, a group of mothers who were taking their sons to the party were trying to woo Greta's grandmother.

"My Lady's granddaughter is very popular as a highly accomplished botanist. I'm sure that she got the skill from you Lady Celie," said another woman the closest to Lady Celie.

"Yes. Every time she's not attending her studies with Lady Anissina and Lord Gunter, she would make flowers for me. And very beautiful ones they are too. Well, why don't I call her to tell us more about her hobbies. It might help your sons to get ideas on how to capture her heart," said Lady Celie happily her blonde curls bobbing up and down. Excited eyes searched the ballroom for Greta and found that her granddaughter was with her parents. Which was odd, because she was supposed to be dancing with the men. But in an instance, she knew what the problem was.

Standing very close to Greta was Yuuri with a big menacing growl on his face. Trying to stare at the men who tries to ask his daughters hand for a dance. Yuuri's glare was very similar to the ones Gwendal wore.

"Daddy, how am I supposed to dance when your glaring at the people who asks me?"

"You want to dance? Let's dance then! Come on," said Yuuri while taking his daughters hand.

"We've already danced to five songs already! I want to dance with the other men that are my age!"

"I won't let you!"

"Daddy!"

Wolfram had to get in between them to stop them ruining the party.

"Yuuri, don't be ridiculous. This party was made for Greta to find a boyfriend anyway. So just let her do what she wants, ok?" said Wolfram, his hands on Yuuri's shoulders.

"But, but…"

"No buts. And I want to dance with you, you've been ignoring me the entire party too busy glaring at the men. Please, can we dance?" said Wolfram with a very cute pout on his lips. Yuuri couldn't resist, he took his husbands hand leading him to the dance floor forgetting his mission to get rid of the men.

Greta winked at her Papa Wolfram. She knew she could count on her papa. Now with Yuuri busy dancing, she could talk to the man that has been looking at her for a while already. He caught her eye while she was dancing with Yuuri. A handsome tall man with long dark brown hair. He's still standing near the drinks table smiling towards Greta. She happily walked to the man, careful not to look too happy though. Once she reached him, he noticed that the man's eye is a beautiful honey color.

"Lady Greta Shibuya, it is an honor to be invited to your party," said the man while taking her hand an kissing it softly. This act made Greta blush furiously.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Lord…?"

"Laran, my Lady," said the young Lord, still holding Greta's hand gently. Laran noticed this and instantly let the princess's hand.

Being the straight forward person she was, Greta mustered all her courage to ask the handsome man.

"Aren't you going to dance with me?"

"Of course, my Lady. That's what I was thinking."

Laran pulled Greta to the dance floor. This was a night where a new relationship has bloomed.
