The Demon Queen's Dire Dilemma

Asmodeus is in a lot of trouble!!! She's a fearsome, terrifying, awe-inspiring (in her own words) demon queen, who has recently conquered the country of Mielle. In a display of her raw power and cunning, she was able to oust the former king, Limone, from the throne, and now she has declared herself Mielle's ruler. Nobody can defy Asmodeus now. She really is without peer. As far as demons go, she's one of the most accomplished in the realm... So why can't she make Mielle's deposed princess, Lisette, fear her?! Asmodeus is doing her best to strike fear into the heart of the princess, who she took captive after forcing her father to flee the country, but Lisette's nerves must be made of steel! It doesn't matter what Asmodeus does or says; she can't get Lisette to stop smiling. Now, Asmodeus's generals are starting to question her right to the throne. How can she rule over a country if she can't subjugate a single human girl?!
