Chapter 433: Painting Him-I
Night was prevailing in the mortal's worlds, no sound could be heard from the houses as everyone's eyes were closed in slumber. It was also the nightti in Hell, in fact, the place had always been dark without light as if the ti had stopped moving in Hell. Unlike the mortal's world, however, Hell was not silent. Chatters of Demons filled the land, most people were busy with their own demands, the demands which most humans would look away due to how cruel it was. But this is Hell, cruelty was normal— cruelty strive here.
In another place of Hell, of a resident in which Demons would often stay as a temporary inn, a louder scream and noise filled this place. It wasn't the vivacious yelling to enjoy themselves but rather screams of pain and fear. One demon who had an ugly appearance, small that they only reach a knee height of a human, with eyes wide, their nose large and crooked, skin red and burning, and a bat-like wings on their back was trying to run away, but in ease a hand caught the Demon's head.
"Tsk, Tsk, Tsk," ca Lucifer slow and playful smile on his lips, "Where are you going? I heard what you said. Lucifer is long and gone?" A chuckle passed by his lips. "He is weak, half-bred, and uglier than you? I can still accept the first two but ugly? Hah, tell how I look now?
"Y-Your highness!" The Demon called in alarm, the voice of the Demon was sharp and foul to the ears. "Please accept my apology! I was wrong, you are the esteed being there is now way your appearance is ugly you are very very handso—"
The Demon's words fail to continue as Lucifer threw the body of the Demon down to the edge of the cliff where he was standing at and his eyes then looked down to where the living Lan filled below the cliff, his smile widening and his voice was bright as he chid, "What a beautiful night."
"What makes you crazy this ti?" ca the voice from behind him, and Lucifer turned his body. Oh look at that! It was his in-laws who had beca one of his few amusent in Hell.
"My first na is crazy if you are not aware," Lucifer answered without feeling angry and he crossed his arm on his back, slling the air, "It still sll as rotten as it is here but I enjoy this scent. Blood, death, and gore, the always so cruel Hell, but then human thought Hell is the cruelest place without knowing that their place was much worse."
Leviathan rolled his eyes, wondering what makes the Demon so talkative and poetic tonight, "Your point?"
"I have been thinking about our offer of working together then realize how little did I give your side of the offer more rits when a bright idea ca to my mind," Lucifer grin wider and Levi could see and tell that sothing worse was storming on the Demon's head, "Malphas! Bring them here."
Malphas ca alone then he blinked forgetting what he need to do and went back to the door he entered from and ca back with three people. The two out of three people were not demons but rather the souls that had been placed in Hell. "et these three people, the sa people who had pushed your wife into desolation nad Barner, the woman who had hatefully bullied your dearest daughter and my daughter in law until she sold her nad Angelica, and this last person, he is soone you know isn't it?"
"Jude," Levi called out the na, this person was one of the most person Leviathan rembered but not due to the good note but rather anger and resentnt. Upon seeing the man, his golden eyes glimred in a brighter color and his horns appearing as it curled straight to the back of his head.
"Yes, this is the person or rather the Demon who had orchestrated the idea of tricking you back to Hell to punish you. Being the record holder of people who reside in Hell, I present you the chance to do the revenge you weren't able to do," Lucifer humd a happy tone while the three people's eyes widened; fear caught their eyes and they all resisted to released themselves from the bind that tied their hands, only to be unable to do anything. "It's a good night. Would you like to leave you alone?"
"Leave." Leviathan demanded, and seeing the rage on the prince's face, Lucifer chuckle bead from his lips.
"As you wish, your highness."
Lucifer left the hall where he had been, hearing the screams behind him, "He will turn all that soul to ash soon," and he looked forward to seeing the heap of ashes.
"Master!" Malphas's voice bead when he saw Lucifer walked out of the hall only to shiver when he felt the murderous air from the hall from where his master had just left.
"What is it?" Lucifer demanded.
"Sir Beelzebub is here," Malphas answered, shrinking back his steps as he didn't want to get close to the hall where he could head screaming erupting like volcano. "Should I bring him here?"
"No," Lucifer turned his face on the door before turning back to his servant, "Bring him to my room."
Beelzebub stood like a statue inside the dimd room. Lucifer sat in front of him with only one leg crossed on the other. "How is it going? Did he show the sign?"
Beelzebub bowed, his expression showed no emotion, "So far, Ian seed to retain his normal conduct. I thought he beca less crueler than before but today I saw that he didn't change."
"My perfect nephew," Lucifer said with a proud tone which then disappeared, "Ask him to stab his heart again." And Beelzebub raised his brows, breaking his unreadable expression which Lucifer didn't miss. "Don't expect to break my control over you soon, Beel. I know you are thinking that soon this control of mine in you will break but let tell you, it's not going to be that easy. You will still be under my control for more months and as wise as you are I can tell you know that it is much better to obey my words than you not and that curse of yours and the obsession you have will be curb better than before."
Beelzebub clenched his hand. What a shitty man, he thought. Hatefully, Lucifer knew whatever he was thinking of and his next move. Beelzebub bowed, "I will abide by your order Milord." and Lucifer waved his hand in disinterest. When Beelzebub left the room, his expression was still stiff until a smile break out when he begin to walk on the corridor.
Though Lucifer was smart and crafty, at the sa ti, he wasn't careful enough. Beelzebub looked down on his palm, feeling how the control Lucifer had on him had completely disappear. But he won't show it now, not until the good mont.
When Leviathan finished with his torture to the people who hard his family, Lucifer stood outside the door, "Enjoyed it?"
Leviathan didn't answer, only giving him a stinky look.
"Tell when will you still be hiding yourself from your daughter? Not being nosy but soon I will also reveal myself to my nephew. The idea of protecting them from behind the scene is honorable but I want to visit their marriage," and Lucifer swung his finger, sending the object straight to Leviathan's eyes which the Demon caught easily before his eyes.
Pulling back the object, Levi's eyes narrowed upon reading the opening of the letter, 'You have been invited to the marriage of Ian white & Elise Scott.'
"But that is up to your choice," Lucifer showed Leviathan a wider smile which the Demon answered with a glare, hating how Lucifer was trying to control him and his emotion as if he was a pawn in his chessboard. It was strange, thought Levi. If Lucifer indeed want a revenge then why didn't he attack Heaven now if he has the ability and chance to do so? Why the wait? What was this man planning by gathering him as his ally and other Demons under his control and why involve both Ian and Elise?
No matter what the answer was, Leviathan made clear that his priority was Elise. No danger should co to her daughter again, including danger from Lucifer. If the man proof to be dangerous, whether he is his soon to be son in law's uncle, he would show no rcy to turn him to ash.
Even if he would be hated by Elise, if it is to protect her, he doesn't made being the worse father in all three land for his care is only Elise's life. But then Levi couldn't help but to rethink of what happened in White Mansion earlier, "Why is she there?" asked Levi to himself, the guest of White Mansion, that woman, he thought, she shouldn't be there.
