Heaven's secret 2 - Through Lucifer's eyes

The tournament

I stirred when sunrays fell on my face. I rubbed my eyes and realised that it's late. I needed to get up .
I sat up on the bed. Plague didn't tell me about that day's task . I thought I don't have much work to do that day . I walked up to the bathroom. I took a comfortable slightly long bath than usual. Then I slid off the water. I wrapped a towel around my waist and dried my hair from another. I walked towards the mirror and looked at my reflection. I had a weird feeling that something is going to be wrong today. I shook my head.

Nothing,just exposure to surroundings like this.

I put my uniform on,brushed my hair and tightened straps of boots on my feet. I was about to go out when I heard a knock.
An acolyte bowed before me

Acolyte: Mistress is calling you,Satan.She wants you there as soon as possible.

I was surprised when he calls me Satan. But I didn't give any reaction.

" I will be there soon." I said.

Acolyte disappeared in the hallway. I walked out of my room and headed towards the office of Plague.

She was sitting on a chair, thinking something. Fencio and Malbonte were standing beside her. They fell silent as I entered.

Plague: you are awake! Golden boy.
I thought of waking you up but I let you sleep some more. You will require energy today afterall.

" Hm?" I said, confused.

What are you up to, horsewoman?

Plague smiled maliciously.

Plague: As you know, your father doesn't like to follow orders. I don't trust him so much. I want you to go and check if he really closed the doors of hell. And report,of he didn't.

Plague knew very well to use people. He knew about the relationship between me and my father. She was doing it on purpose.

" He doesn't like to follow orders,yes. But that doesn't mean he isn't devoted to you Mistress. I have never seen him so eager to follow someone's orders." I said, defending him. Obviously because I didn't want her to hurt my mother to make father obedient.

Plague chuckled.

Plague: oh trust me I know that very well. I know that I have grip on both of your necks. Your mother. But still, I want you to go there and find out .
If you found the gates open, I won't spare Satan.

" Alright mistress. I will go and find out. But I don't think that he will disobey you" I said.

Plague: Fencio will join you.

Ofcourse! You don't trust me either.

Fencio nodded.
Plague waved her hand in the gesture to dismiss. Fencio and I went straight to the exit. Once we arrived the door , Fencio said

Fencio: I hope Satan has done what Plague ordered him to do.

" He has done exactly what was told. I don't doubt him in this matter." I said .

We flew towards hell. Encountering many boulders and floating islands, we finally saw hell's main city. Still bustling like before,when horsewoman wasn't there. The demons engaged in daily life duties. Some cartwheels running on the road.
We descended and landed in front of the palace. Beelzebub noticed us . He walked towards us with a friendly smile, although I knew that he wasn't happy either about the horsemen and their shitty apocalypse.

Beelzebub: long time no see Lucifer.

" Circumstances aren't that friendly to move on our own wish . " I said.
