After I finished feeding on Alastor, he cleaned me up, took me to his radio tower and interviewed me for all of Hell to her.

"Good evening sinners! Tonight I have a special guest with me in the studio! Hell's one and only Queen Charlotte Morningstar!"

I laugh, "Oh Alastor, please, call me Charlie."

"All right Charlie," He purred, "What can you tell the sinners of Hell about the ongoing war with Heaven?"

I pause, carefully thinking over my words, "Well to be honest I'm in contact with Heaven right now trying to come to a cease fire, but, if it does come to war I will fight tooth and nail to protect my people."

"Spoken like a true Queen. Speaking of, has the Queen found anyone special?" His eyes glittered with mirth.

I giggle, "Oh Alastor, a Queen doesn't kiss and tell. But, if you must know, yes. There is someone, but it's at the very early stages right now, he hasn't even begun the courting process yet, so.... Who knows what'll happen?" I shrug. "But right now my focus is on protecting my people, I'm even thinking of lifting the barriers between the rings."

I could see the look of a shock move across Alastor's face in real time. Shock, awe, fear, and an unknown emotion pass through.

"Well that's all for today folks! Please tune in tomorrow for another show!" He says, cutting the interview to a close quickly.

"Hey!" I ask, a hand on his, "Why'd you stop it so suddenly?"

But before he could answer I felt myself being summoned, it was Belphagor, and the rest of the seven.

"I have to go." I kiss him quickly and teleport away.

Once back in the palace walls, I walk quickly to the meeting room, grabbing a ball to signify that the Council is in session.

"Belphagor, why exactly have you summoned me," I then guestured to the other sins and the rest of us here?" My powers on full force.

"You must forgive me Charlotte, but, I was listening to Radio Demons broadcast. And correct me if I'm wrong, but did you say you would lower the barriers between the rings?" At these words all the other Sins look up to me in shock.

"Charlie, you can't be serious!" Satan shouts.

"Mind your tongue Satan, or I will have it ripped out!" I threaten, "My Father may have given you power, but I can take it away!"
 
Mammon looks at me in shock, before saying.


"Charlotte, you ARE our Queen and while you do have power, you don't have everything."

The other Six look at the leader of Sloth in shock.

"Oh? Do tell?" I question, "What does the Embodiment of Sloth have to say to the Queen of Hell in regards to ruling her kingdom? Whereas you couldn't give less of a shit what goes on in yours?"

Mammon sighs, "Charlotte, you cannot expect us to allow sinners into our rings."

"Mammon, if you have something to say, say it already." I grit my teeth, "If not, shut up or I will do it for you."

Mammon says nothing, then Belphagor speaks up.

"My Queen, if you plan to lift the barriers what are we to do?"

"I'm glad you asked, Belphagor." I smile at him, "I plan on creating a new order in Hell, one that is based on the rehabilitation of sinners, so they may have a chance in Heaven."

Before the Seven can start shouting all at once I silence them.

"Let me speak first, please. Laws will be put into place for those who have truly irredeemable deeds. Crimes against women, children, and the innocent. While I don't condone murder, those who have killed others who in some way deserved it are a moral grey area. Not only that but therapy will be MANDATORY, not just for sinners. For every available person in the pit, Hellborn or otherwise, and yes," I sigh, "It does include those on this council, including myself."

Satan looks at me in shock, "How would we even go about this?" He questions quietly.

"I'm glad you asked. But first and foremost, I need every available Hellborn demon, Hellhound, and Imp gathered at the Palace in the next week or so. Hellborns will be drafted to the royal forces. Hellhounds will patrol the Pride Ring, alongside the Imps. The other Six Rings will hold a multitude of regions, many of which will have their own specific needs met." I explain.

"Such as?" Satan snarks, so I turn to him.

"Satan, Satan, Satan, YOU will be training the Royal Forces. You are the embodiment of Wrath, I can't think of anyone other than you to train the Officers of Hell." I tell him.

"As for the rest of you," I explain, handing out folders with their chosen tasks.

"Beelzebub; Your job is to find as many QUALIFIED therapists in Hell as you can. You will also be helping with the construction of a Rehabilitation Center, but that can be put aside until you find said therapists."

The Lord of Glutton looks as if he wants to fight back, but I use my magic a bit. He starts sweating excessively, he looks at me in shock.

"You feel that? That's your blood boiling, it's not even that hard to do. All I have to do is focus. Failure to do your duties, will result in harsh punishment."

"Asmodeus," I turn to the Lord of Lust, "You will be responsible to the kiddie diddlers and other fuckers whose powers is being abused. I can already tell you whom to start with, Valentino of the Vee's."

"Leviathan, you will start on the Reconstruction of a few of the Castles around the cities. The only one I ask you to leave be is the fortress in the mountains, Satan will be training his recruits there. Not only that, any of those who are on Asmodeus's lists are to be sent there for Satan to punish them."

Satan looks at me in shock, "You are the Demon of Wrath," I explain, "I would much rather you be angry at those who deserve it, you have free reign to do whatever you please with those who come to the mountains. But make sure that if it's an Overlord their contracts are revoked, then remind them why they were sent here in the first place. Just try not to actually kill them, torture, main, permanently damage? Fine, but make sure they spend the rest of their eternal life paying for the crimes."

I could tell that my Sins were happy with the arrangement, then Belphagor raised his hand.

"Yes?"

"What will I be doing?" He asks.

"You will be with me, by my side, I need to keep an eye on you, Sloth. Make sure you're not slacking off or laying around. I do not trust you after you lost my Father."

I then dismiss all the Sins and tell them 'Get to work'. I sit back in my chair with a large sigh, I decide to go check on Alastor after I left him so suddenly.
