After another restless night, I go to find my daughter. I take the elevator down to the first floor. Everyone was already there, talking about something. Charlie has seen me and beckons me to her. ''Now we're all together. It's spring cleaning today!'' ''And why do I have to put up with it? I'm a barkeeper and not a cleaner.'' ''You're part of the hotel, dear Husker. Everyone helps.'' ''Only because you brought me here, Alastor.'' ''You kept your bar clean too, didn't you?'' ''Of course!'' ''Why shouldn't you clean here too? After all, this is your new job Husker.'' ''Shut up, Alastor.'' ''Better be careful with your choice of words.'' ''Calm down. Everyone will help. Husker and Angel Dust you take care of this floor. Vaggie and I will do the first floor. Niffty you do the second floor and Dad would you take over the last floor with Alastor?'' My daughter doesn't make it easy for me, but I do it for my daughter. I nod at her and she smiles at me. That alone makes it worth my while to clean with a cannibal, even if I can't imagine Alastor cleaning. I am pulled out of my thoughts when someone grabs my shoulder. I startle briefly before looking up. ''Can we or does your majesty need more time to process this?'' He taunts. ''What's your fucking problem Alastor?'' ''Nothing. We'll take the stairs. It keeps you fit.'' Did he really just say that? Why take the stairs when there's an elevator? That makes no sense. ''Is Her Majesty still coming today?'' Before he can mock me any further, I follow him up the stairs. By the time I got to the last staircase, Alastor was already at the top, looking down at me with that gigantic smile. This hotel has more stairs than you might think. When I got to the top, I was completely out of breath. ''For such a strong person, you're not very sporty. You should exercise more often, my dear.'' He mocked. ''Shut the fuck up Alastor.'' ''Let's start in your room. Before it was occupied by you, I always started there.'' ''There's no way you're going in my room!'' ''I've been in this room many times Lucifer.'' Before I could say anything else, he walk off. I hastily run after him to stop him but he's faster than me and just enters my room but doesn't go in and I know why. ''Oh my god. I was expecting anything but not this. Not a whole day has passed and the room is just mountains of rubber ducks. That's the least I'd expect from the king of hell. Are you collecting them?'' Now he turns around with his cane and waits for an answer from me. ''None of your business!'' ''I won't leave the room like this Lucifer. You may choose a few that you want to keep, but the rest will be thrown away.'' ''1. these are my things. 2. I want to keep them all!'' ''So childish for such an old person.'' ''I'm not a cannibal for that.'' ''Never show your face in cannibal city, Your Highness. They can't stand it if you don't accept cannibalism. They've become more peaceful, but they still like to eat anyone who doesn't accept their way of life.'' Alastor snaps his fingers and walks on. I quickly look into my room only to find that there wasn't a single rubber duck left in the room. That bastard! ''Where are my ducks!'' Alastor stopped and turned around. ''Gone and I'll conjure them away every time I find them in such quantities again. It's bordering on obsessive.'' Without another word, I walk after him into the next room. Which was his room. I remember this forest part of his room. ''There's nothing to clean here?'' ''I know. I just want to show you the difference between your room and mine...'' ''I know you have a mini forest.'' I interrupt him. ''Haha. That's not what I mean. My room isn't a mess like yours.'' ''It wasn't a mess.'' ''Just accept it or I'll tell her that her dear dad has an addiction to rubber ducks.'' ''Are you blackmailing me?'' ''Maybe.'' ''Well. Yes, my room was a mess in less than a day.'' I had to agree with him. I can't force him to keep his mouth shut. Together we tidy up the other rooms on this floor. I didn't think Alastor could really clean up. When we were finished we went downstairs. Fortunately, this time we were going down and not up. ''Ah, there you are,'' we were greeted immediately. ''I see you didn't get into trouble. Anyway, I saw a corner that was unused. I think it would be a good idea to put a small seating area there for guests. What do you think Alastor?'' ''Charlie my little one. You're the owner. You don't have to ask him what he thinks.'' ''Yes, Dad. He's kind of my business partner. We discuss all the changes together.'' ''A sitting area wouldn't be bad Charlie. Many hotels in the world of the living have several sitting areas.'' ''Then let's do it that way!'' ''Sooo. Now that spring cleaning is over, I'll get to work on my broadcast.'' Alastor disappeared and left us standing here. ''I'm going back to my bar too.'' ''Wait Husker, I'm coming with you!'' ''Ah yes. Angel and Husker are also a perfect duo.'' ''That's right Charlie. Where's Niffty anyway?'' ''She's probably chasing bugs again.'' ''I'm following Husker and Angel Dust.'' ''Ok Vaggie.'' Now it was just me and my daughter. ''So my sweet little apple. Do you want to do something?'' I ask gently. After all, I want to get closer to my daughter. ''Um... Well. I would arrange the sitting area. And then I'll go to the cannibal city and talk to a good friend of Alastor's. Maybe later, Dad.'' ''Uh yeah, no problem Char Char. I'm going to my room.'' A little disappointed, I go upstairs but take the elevator. In my room, I sit down on my bed and make more rubber ducks. Why doesn't she want to do anything with me? Does she feel uncomfortable? Am I being too pushy? Will she ever like me? I hope that she might like me one day. I will try my best.

Hello dear readers. I have decided to update this story once a week. On which day exactly a chapter will always come is not certain. If there are any mistakes e.g. their powers or so then make me aware of it. As mentioned in the description, I have never seen Hazbin Hotel myself, only excerpts on Tiktok and a little knowledge from other stories about Lucifer and Alastor that I have already read. I hope you will still like it. Have a nice morning, noon and evening.
