The King and the Overlord: Infernal Bonds

Chapter 18

The weeks flew by, and the day had arrived. Lucifer was at the location where the picnic he had agreed to with Carmilla would take place. Both he and his daughter and their friends were at that gloomy park, which for them was a better park than those they could find in that ring of hell.

Charlie: I still don't understand why you don't make another one of those collars so we can go to other rings.

Lucifer: Because they're not easy to make. I could barely create the one Carmilla has. And I don't think your friends would appreciate going to another ring.

Charlie: Well, that makes sense.

Lucifer: And remember, don't tell anyone about it.

Charlie: Why?

Lucifer: Because there are sinners who would do anything to get out of that ring.

Charlie: Like who?

Lucifer: Like...

Alastor: I see your lovely sweetheart is taking her time to arrive.

Lucifer: And does that bother you?

Alastor: No, but I gave up some of my precious time to come here and try some of the delicious food they brought.

Lucifer: I didn't bring anything decomposing, you weird bug.

Alastor: Don't worry about that, I already have my food in sight.

The Overlord was focusing on two sinners who were passing through that place.

Alastor: So, if you'll excuse me, I think there's a 2x1 promotion today.

While they watched the sinner walk away, Lucifer began to open a portal and from it started to pull out all the food for that day.

Lucifer: And your sister?

Charlie: She's with Vaggie, talking about something.

With the mentioned, the two of them were drawing on the ground.

Vaggie: So you're telling me that Lute replaced his arm with a golden one.

Emily: Yes, almost everything is gold there.

Vaggie: I see, and does it give him an upgrade or something?

Emily: I think it turns into a weapon.

Vaggie: I don't doubt it if it was her who asked for it.

Emily: One question, how did you feel when they left you here?

Vaggie: Well, I used to be considered one of the best exorcists, but if you make a single mistake, that will mark you forever.

Emily: And what did you do?

Vaggie: Over time, I realized what we were really doing. From there, I could only hear the screams of sinners begging for their lives, and I know I'm talking about those who did wrong in their lives, but some were trying to build a life there.

Emily: And then?

Vaggie: Then one day, I cornered a sinner in an alley, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a child, and with that, I understood that to them, we were the monsters. In heaven, they always told us that sinners already knew they were the monsters and that's why they allowed the exterminations, but it was a lie.

Emily: So you did a good deed that heaven saw as something bad.

Vaggie: It wasn't heaven, the moment I let that child go, Lute appeared, and with her sword, she ripped off my wings along with my eye. She and Adam left me to my fate.
