In a few instances, the sound of footsteps stopped as the person finally appeared in the eting room on the Ninth Floor.
The Seven Sins stopped talking and focused on the newcor.
It was a beautiful lady wearing a formal shirt, skirt, stockings, and tall heels. Her hair was almost blue, but the tone of it blended well with the green-colored ends. Her eyes were of the sa blue-green color as well.
Her horns were black and protruded out from the side of her head. The tattoo on her arm was exposed and attracted attention. Her hair was parted at one side, revealing the long silver earring on her ear.
This person was none other than…
"What brings you here, Adriel?" Baal questioned, looking at the person who had just arrived.
Only one person among the demons other than the Demon Queen herself would dare to intrude upon the eting of the Seven Sins - Adriel, the Demon Queen's secretary.
She was the closest a demon could be to the Queen and was also the one to relay ssages between the Queen and the Sins.
She also managed the sins on the Queen's behalf, and her status was equal to the sins. She was also an Emperor Rank, the sa as the Seven Sins. Still, the Seven Sins didn't dare offend her because of her closeness to the Demon Queen.
It could be said that even if they were on the sa level, Adriel was equal amongst equals.
In any case, the sins were polite and respectful when talking to Adriel, and they wouldn't do anything to offend her.
Adriel, looking at Baal, said in a flat tone, "Orders of Her Majesty."
It should be obvious why she was crashing their little party. She was soone with a limited amount of ti on her hand, and she also had no interest in their get-together. The only thing that would make her appear in this place was naturally sothing related to the Queen.
"The Great Baal should've guessed it," Adriel sarcastically remarked in a neutral tone.
Baal didn't say anything else after Adriel's comnt as he realized what a stupid question he had asked.
Adriel looked at everyone and said in the sa flat tone, "You must be here to discuss the ergence of the Seraphim. Her Majesty has sothing to say about it, and I am here to relay her ssage."
The Seven Sins nodded their heads as they heard that. They expected sothing like this when Adriel appeared.
After all, the Ninth Floor was just above the Queen's territory, and it was only natural she would know about a eting happening there.
Adriel, noticing she had everyone's attention, continued,
"Her Majesty wants you all to sit back and not do anything regarding the appearance of the Seraphim. Also, you are to suppress your underlings and prevent them from causing any mischief that may ruin the Seraphim's image. The War Angel has had no dealings with the demons in the past and has always been passive. Any form of conflict must be avoided, be it direct or indirect. You are also supposed to…."
Lucifer had said things informally to Adriel and it was her job to convert it into formal speech and send it out to the sins. Hence she made a set of guidelines and was now stating them to the Sins in a voice that would not entertain nonsense.
The reason Lucifer involved herself in it and asked the demons to be passive was naturally Lith.
She had been stalking him for a while. It did not take her long to realize that Emilia had a close connection to Lith and was also his teacher.
She knew Seraphim's grandfather would step in if the demons wronged Emilia, a peaceful and kind girl. Lucifer did not want that handso old man to co to her place and scold the hell out of her.
Alex had not paid a visit to her in quite a while, and she wanted it to stay that way.
Whenever he visited her, he would say how useless she was and to do so job and not be a neet. He would also consistently pester her to not stay cooped up in the castle.
Lucifer was tired of listening to the old man's words again and again, and it was best if she did not give him a valid reason to visit.
That ant she had to keep an eye on the Seven Sins and stop any nasty plots they may have planned for Emilia.
After listening to Adriel, Baal and Leviathan could only drop their plans to tarnish Seraphim's image with a sigh. The orders of the Queen were not to be disobeyed. Or rather, they did not dare to go against them.
Adriel left after relaying the words of the Queen.
Avelyn breathed a sigh of relief after she left. The Queen was on her side, and thankfully she didn't need to do anything to stop the other Sins.
As for Baal and Leviathan, they weren't in a good mood.
Baal leaned back on his throne and said, looking at the other sins, "Tsk. What a bumr."
Avelyn, not losing this opportunity, looked at Baal and comnted, "You're saying the Queen's verdict is a bumr?"
Baal knitted his brows and leaned forwards in fright as he heard that. He looked at Avelyn and yelled, "Don't twist my words, Asmodeus. I am just saying it's a pity that we can't have so fun."
"Oh, so you're saying that the Queen's orders took away your fun?"
"Ye— Shut up. Don't twist things."
The Sins started bickering now that the decision had been made for them. They descended into chaos with nothing fruitful to discuss, and soon, the Ninth Floor was filled with the voices of their "discussion."

"Madam, it's ti." Sel arrived in Emilia's office and said with a bow.
Emilia was sitting on her office couch and going through a few things on her tablet screen.
She stopped doing her work and put the tablet away.
Getting up, Emilia snapped her fingers to dress herself up for the event.
Her formal outfit was changed into black daoist robes, and she now appeared like a cultivator rather than a principal.
Emilia then let her hair loose and shook her head to have them fall freely.
"Everyone's here?" She asked Sel, without looking away from the mirror.
"Yes," Sel replied.
"Alright."
Emilia then lightly massaged her head and combed her hair freely with her hands. She walked towards the exit and said softly, with seriousness in her eyes,
"Let's go. It's ti to send a warning."
