God's Reign

Mother Knows Best

The time had come. Lilith had been pulling all the necessary strings to ensure her daughter's dream came true. Of course, it hadn't been easy. But she hadn't become queen for nothing. Using her connections, Lilith arranged for a plot of land and many resources to be allocated for Charlie's establishment. Mother and daughter had been doing all this secretly without Lucifer's knowledge. He had no idea his wife and daughter were working on this behind his back. But that was the only way to make it happen.

Today, the foundations were set in brick and mortar. Charlie's hotel was built and fully furnished. Despite having all the wealth at her disposal, she elected for a more comfortable atmosphere. The purpose of her hotel was to rehabilitate demons. Yes, it had to look impressive, but not to the point of showing off. It wouldn't be long before the hotel was open. In the meantime, Charlie ventured around Pentagram City looking for potential patients with her best friend and future manager, Vaggie. They took meticulous notes and soon had a list. It wasn't long before Charlie decided who the first patient would be. He was very interesting. And quite the character. But she could see how troubled and tormented he was despite his charismatic attitude. It was perfect. Charlie made a note to herself to come back once the hotel was open.

Back at the castle, Lilith was waiting for Lucifer to fall asleep. He didn't usually sleep in the afternoons, but he needed a power nap. She took the opportunity and quickly headed outside to a balcony with a letter in hand. The queen looked to the skies and squinted. A moment later, an Executioner broke through the clouds and came down. He sat on the railing. Lilith hurriedly explained everything and handed him the letter. With a nod, he left as quickly as he had arrived. Lilith had done all she could. But she needed help. Lucifer had no idea that she had been in contact with his father. And she aimed to keep it that way.
