Angel In Devil's Clothing

A way to you

Chapter 31

[December 31st 1934]

When evening came, everyone in hell had turned their radios and televisions on to see and hear about the news. "Goooood evening ladies and gents! I'm your host Kathryn Bloodstain and this is 666 news coming to you live from the pride ring, we have some JUICY hot gossip to share with you this fine evening~" Alastor sips his coffee with his legs crossed as he listens to the news in his personal half finished radio station.

"Prince Stolas of the ars Goetias has finally confirmed that he had divorced his wife Lady Stella! One of our interviewers had spotted him enjoying a walk with his daughter without any sightings of his wife yet again." Alastor rolls his eyes at the lie, obviously they made their journalist stalk the prince like they always do and try to ask him a bunch of questions until he either leaves or cracks.

"He was able to answer the question of why that is folks! Lady Stella has been found guilty! Like most of us here, of being abusive towards her husband, nothing new there ladies and gents! But it seems our king has finally shown that he has his... Favorites towards certain demons. This has only now come to light however- despite the public's ignorance of it-" the host mutters sarcastically before continuing.

"after she had dared to express her opinion of how our beloved king Lucifer is not fit to rule hell!" Alastor raised his eyebrows in interest, his ears twitching as he listens more carefully on what the woman was saying on the radio. This was the first time he has heard of something dramatic happening involving the king of hell, he most certainly doesn't seem like the type of person who would want attention, especially since he's rarely heard from in the news outside of politics.

"Well, that's news to me folks! Though you wouldn't have guessed her punishment! King Lucifer has decided to punish her for her act of treason by rendering her... Featherless! you heard me right! King Lucifer, with the permission of King Paimon of the Ars Goetia's, has found it suitable to punish Lady Stella by removing her feather privileges! I'm definitely glad I'm not in her shoes, cause that would be a major fashion DISASTER. No wonder we haven't seen her in ages. she definitely feels mighty embarrassed about her new... Style! BAHAHAHAHA!" Alastor let out a hearty laugh at hearing that. He didn't expect the king of hell to punish his citizens in such a way that it's bordering on hilarious! If only the king were to do this more often...

"So! Since Lady Stella has been deemed 'unfit' to care for her daughter, Octavia, Prince Stolas now has been granted full custody of her-" Alastor sips his coffee again, thoughtfully. He has read all about Lucifer, at least, he remembers tidbits about him reading about the king of hell in a spell book of sorts but that memory of him in a forest was always foggy whenever he tries to remember the rest of that memory. Some of the information on Lucifer he has was given to him by Mimzy, who's apparently a big fan of the king.

[Flashback]

After she had realized that he had forgotten what his wife had looked like, Mimzy immediately stared at him for a while before laughing at him. "Seriously? Ya haven't even bothered to open that locket around your neck?! Haha!" Alastor had hurriedly taken the locket off to see if what she had said was true. He didn't realize that he was wearing a locket, all he thought was that it was a swan charm attached to a heart duck charm either his wife or mother had given him as a gift.

He yanked the heart locket open, and inside he sees the picture of his wife, a short, beautiful looking woman with shoulder length blonde hair, wearing a white wedding dress with a pregnant belly. Alastor sees his human self, his arm wrapped around his wife while he kisses her on the forehead as she smiles happily at the camera.
