"You handled the witches very well," Roshan told Lucian.
"I know," Lucian said.
"Arrogant bastard," Roshan muttered which caused Lucian to smile.
"I learned that from you." He said.
"I am not arrogant." Roshan denied.
Lucian raised a brow. "You are. But in a tasteful way."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?"
"No."
Roshan chuckled. "You are becoming more fun to be around."
Lucian came to a halt. "Roshan. I need to know everything about demons."
"You are going to meet them?"
Lucian nodded. Before it was too late he wanted to solve all his problems and then just enjoy his time with his wife and child.
Roshan took his time and told him everything. From the creation of demons, how they came to rule different parts of the world, the war between themselves and how they became enemies with the witched. He also told him about different powers that demons could shield, how the rank system of demons worked and weaknesses he could use against them.
"Look demons are simple. They are not speakers so don't try to convince them with words. Use actions to communicate." Roshan suggested. "And don't be afraid. I am here."
Lucian felt a strange feeling in his chest at Roshan's words.
"Why are you helping me?" He asked.
Roshan tilted his head slightly and narrowed his gaze. "I am glad things are going well between you and your mother. I don't even remember what my mother looks like anymore. It has been a very long time since I saw her last. Irene is like a mother figure to me. She is the one to always ask if I ate well or slept well and when I come late or get myself into trouble like I always do, she is the one to scold me. Of course, there is my father and we are very close but he is a troublemaker himself. " He chuckled.

"That was a long answer to my question," Lucian said.
Roshan chuckled again. "I am saying you matter to me because you matter to Irene."
Lucian already knew what he meant. Maybe he just hoped to hear something else.
"Now, are you ready to leave?"
Lucian nodded.
Roshan was a bit concerned. He didn't know what Lucian had in mind but he knew what he had to do. If anyone tried to hurt Lucian he would get rid of them. Without hesitation. Once Lucian was ready Roshan took him to the underworld as they called it. It was a place where demons liked to spend most of their time, but it was also were the lords of the demons ruled their subjects. And it was those lords that Lucian was going to meet. If he had the lords fearing him then he would have the subordinates fear him as well.
"Where are we going?" Lucian asked confused as they walked through a dark tunnel. They could hear laughter and instruments playing in the distance and the stench of liquor filled the air.
When they came to the end of the tunnel there was a large door blocking the way. The door opened by itself as if it knew that they were there. Roshan walked in and Lucian followed.
Half-naked women walked all around the place, some of them swinging to the music, others carrying alcohol around and serving some guests.
"Lord Ramiel. Long-time no see. Are my woman not enticing enough anymore?" A woman in less revealing clothes came forward and greeted them. Lucian could tell she was a demon from her elegant movements and extremely good looks.
