Hazbin and Helluva Shorts II

Guard Duty

Lucifer and Lilith decided it was time to refresh the royal guard. In addition to the sentries stationed throughout the castle grounds, they were looking for a new personal bodyguard for their young daughter Charlie. After watching many potential applicants in the training grounds, they decided on one. His name was Honza Dobransky, a Chez who had died in 1968. He had been a soldier when alive, so he already had the necessary experience. Lucifer and Lilith offered him the position, and he gratefully accepted. From that day on, he was by Charlie's side. He was like a big brother to her. In addition to being a bodyguard, Honza also played with her. He found himself playing house and having tea parties. Not that he minded. It was part of his job. But there was something else.

Despite Charlie's young age, she knew how Hell worked. And she had big plans. She told Honza about her dream to redeem all demons of Hell. Unlike Lucifer and Lilith, he could see how serious she was. He didn't dismiss her ambitions as childish fantasies. Little Charlie even had a rotating whiteboard in her room. On one side were her crudely made plans. She only showed them to Honza. He saw the potential in her. The other was filled with typical doddles and was on the scene when her parents were present. Charlie already knew they would never listen. So, she didn't bother wasting time trying to explain anything to them.

Honza's various duties also included taking Charlie out. He drove her around the safer (relatively speaking) part of Pentagram City. He took her to cafés, the theater, parks, and a few restaurants. He had become more of an older brother to Charlie. But Honza never forgot that his primary duty was to protect her. And there were instances where he had to do his real job. It was a good reminder for him. As time passed, he decided to help her, even if it meant going against the king and queen.
