[ Up until now, the only things Zelda had heard about Lord Diavolo were his fickle moods and his penchant for using his magic to toy with his subjects for his own amusement. Despite the unflinching respect Lucifer showed for Diavolo when the former was briefly in Songerein, Zelda's image of the devil prince was one of a spoiled royal with too much time and power for his own good. This is the first she's heard of him doing something just and selfless. ]
I must admit, I've heard more about you and your brothers suffering his whims than about his accomplishments as a leader. Lucifer spoke highly of him when we chanced to meet earlier this spring, but I've been doubtful of whether Lord Diavolo is genuinely worthy of such praise.
[ Zelda laughs aloud when she reads Satan's jest. It says something about how well she's come to understand him that she knew immediately that he was teasing her. ] That would be most wicked of you! Are all demons so impulsive that they would undermine the authority of a royal speech simply to make a joke?
[ She's not going to call attention to her joke. :) Does the Avatar of Wrath take jokes as well as he makes them? ]
i think teasing is satan's love language
