[i][b][color=7ea7d8]Dark Lord's Castle[/color][/b][/i]

Damn insolent human! How did he dare to speak to his Master in such a way? He was sure that nobody would dare to behave like that in King Valorian's presence. And yet, this kid was defying him and his men as if they deserved much less respect. 

[color=7ea7d8]"So these stories are all 'bloody true'?"[/color] He wasn't trying to keep the irritation from showing on his usually calm and stoic face. [color=7ea7d8]"If they were true, you would be begging for mercy right now."[/color] All the lights and the fire suddenly disappeared and room went totally dark. Only the eyes of the demons glowed softly like those of wild beasts as they stared intently at the boy. If Lucifer didn't belong to Empusa, Alastor himself would have already taken his soul and disposed of the body that now seemed more like a prey than an ally. But luckily for him, Empusa came to save him. 

Alastor sighed in exasperation, but leaned backwards on his seat, letting the shadows around him dissipate as he relaxed a bit. It seemed that she was angrier at Zenith than at him, and he simply blinked in surprise when he heard her call him a pussy, then a dog, then a bitch. And now that he thought about it, what in hell did Zenith mean with his reply to his previous question? And what's with that silly reaction he had when Alastor addressed him? Was he attempting to flirt with his master or what?[i] Damn, things are definitely going out of hand...[/i] He thought as he facepalmed too. 

Well, at least he had some time to think while the boy, or rather, the girl argued with Zenith. And, even if he wouldn't admit it, he felt bad for Lucifer. Damn, he reminded him so much of his younger self; a demon who grew up among the humans and could never fit. It must be the same for him, to be surrounded by those who hated him. And Alastor should've realized sooner. 

[color=7ea7d8]"It's fine. It's not your fault."[/color] He told him as he got up and approached Lucifer, forcing him to look at him. [color=7ea7d8]"We all make mistakes. And I'm sure you made a mistake when you joined us. Leave if you want, I won't consider you a traitor. I won't send anyone to kill you."[/color] He wasn't expelling him, he just wanted to let him choose. [color=7ea7d8]"But if you stay, you better learn that there are times in which is better to simply shut up and obey, and not question your master. Just because I act with caution doesn't mean that I don't trust you."[/color]

The Lord decided it was best to leave Lucifer already, so he just went back to his seat again trying to focus again on this meeting that was starting to seem rather useless after so many issues. Now he had to convince Lance that his idea could work, but not for this case in particular. He had given his word that he would help that town, not enslave its people. [color=7ea7d8]"I'm sure we could do that the next time, just not now. King Valorian would get suspicious if a new religion started getting followers so close to the capital, and those people suddenly started to turn into monsters. We don't need to attract any more attention for a small issue like this one, and we need to make people trust in [i]us[/i] for once, and not in a fake cult."[/color]
