The King and the Overlord: Infernal Bonds

Chapter 7

Everyone was excited for the show they were about to see, Lucifer, on the other hand, only felt embarrassment for them, something Carmilla could see since he didn't try to hide it.

Beelzebub: Tonight we have a guest who is very special to us, the sins, and to you. Without further delay, let's welcome our king, Lucifer Morningstar.

The lights focused on their table; Lucifer could only cover his face while Carmilla watched as everyone began to applaud them.

Beelzebub: And our king brought his guest, so to commemorate the first visit of the king of hell in years, it's time to start this show.

Throughout the song, Lucifer decided to drink the entire bottle of wine, alerting Charlie, who was worried that all the attention might bother his father and ruin the date.

Charlie: I have to do something.

Vaggie called a waiter to order some food for them while they waited for the date to end.

Charlie: Waiter, do me a favor and stop serving drinks to that table.

Waiter: I can't, it's Mr. Asmodeus's orders.

Charlie: Then tell him his favorite niece is asking.

The waiter left to deliver the orders to the chef while Asmodeus watched the whole show from the kitchen door.

Waiter: Sir, a table asked me to stop serving drinks to Mr. Lucifer's table.

Asmodeus: And who was the idiot who asked for that?

Waiter: She says she's your favorite niece.

Asmodeus: What?!

The sin went out to see all the people in his restaurant and noticed Charlie spying on his father from a table behind Lucifer's, but right now she was looking angrily at her uncle.

Asmodeus: Oh, I can't say no to this girl.

After Beelzebub's show ended, everything calmed down. Lucifer found it strange that they stopped delivering wine, but he decided to focus on Carmilla.

Lucifer: I want to know a little about you. What was the reason you started your business of angelic weapons? It's something that I'm very curious about.

Carmilla: Well, when I arrived in hell, I was disoriented. It took me a while to get used to what was going to be my new home, and the worst part was when I lived through my first extermination. I did my best to survive not only from the exorcists but also from the other sinners.

All she remembered was a younger version of herself fleeing from the angels, seeking refuge wherever seemed safe, but in hell, nothing was safe. The only thing she could do was cover herself with the corpse of one of the victims just to see and hear the pleas of the others. After all that chaos, she stood up while still covered in blood that wasn't hers, she realized that the exorcists left their weapons embedded in the sinners they killed, and out of curiosity, she took one to see its shiny silver color.

Carmilla: What I did was collect each of the weapons I found and then sell them. I made good money and could get a good place to sleep, but everything changed when one day I found my daughters in that place. The instant I saw them, even though they didn't look the same as when I had last seen them, I knew they were my girls.

Between the three of them, the business grew until it was almost what it was today, but once one of the workers at the place rebelled, trying to kill one of the daughters, Carmilla, just by seeing this, remembered her past life, remembered the reason she had come to hell in the first place, and without hesitation killed the worker with one of her weapons in front of her daughters. In her hands, she saw all the blood she had shed and didn't know how to take this, she didn't know how her daughters would face this, her heart filled with a deep fear until both embraced her waiting for their mother to calm down.
