To Win The Devil's Heart

♦️Chapter 7♦️

◇Lucifer POV◇

After mind and Salems sex fest last night, he wanted to go visit the commoners to show them he truly meant his word. I, however was worried that the Faith would somehow use him to plot against me and steal the crown.

Zeon has gone cold. Some of my whispers say that he and his arm fled to a discreet location in Hell, in which it's covered in dark magic.

I slap my face to keep awake at this stupid meeting. I lost count on how many I must attend but quite frankly I don't give a Fuck.

I look up and see everyone staring at me. Uh.... did I miss something?

"We asked you for the payment about giving our ships to you for the upcoming war." The boy with bright blue says. I believe him to be a werewolf as well as his brother who has bright red hair. Quite the pair. It's always fascinating knowing they are both mates and yet are brothers. Speak about keeping it in the family.

"We have travelled very far to come to this shit hole so it'll be appreciated if you gave our money back instead of sleeping. Thank you." The red head says trying to keep his composure but is slowly letting himself go.

"Like I said, you and your people will get paid once the war is over. You have my word" they knew what making a deal with me would entitled. Luckily I didn't ask for their souls, so waiting to get your coin and keeping your soul should humble you but nope. Greedy bitches.

"We don't know if we can trust you, Zeon grows powerful and has an army that could render us to ash." Smurf boy speaks. I sigh, clearly not getting away from them.

"I suppose I could comprise" both twins look at me as I've peaked their interest.

"I'll pay you half what you are owned and then after the war I'll pay you the rest. That's if you don't perish in battle."

Both of them whisper to each other and nod in agreement.

I wave over a maid to collect a contract and inform the Hell bank that a big transfer will occur.

"Sign on the dotted line and do best to remember that you are making a deal with the devil" I smirk but always cringe on the inside due to the horrible joke.

They gave me the contact and I see their names. One is Beau and the other Rouge. I'm guessing Beau is the Smurf head and Rouge is the cheeto looking one.

As soon as I bid them farewell my everything comes in baring gifts.

"The commoners are lovely, once you get know them. Also the Faith gave me and you a present" I take the candle from Salem and sniff it. A werid sensation lingers in my body. Making my mind go blank for a while then nothing.

"I couldn't smell anything. Appeantley it was tailored to your nose or something like that." My brows scrunched in confusion but I couldn't care less maybe lighting it will help.

"And what of your gift?" Salem rushes off like a moth to a flame and returns as fast as he left.

I see him holding a blanket with a werid looking egg?

"What is it?" I question talking a step closer, inspecting the purple and black scaled eggs.

"It's a dragon egg, found on the shores of the Dragon Island." He shrieks with glee.

"Woah" I'm shook. I've always wanted to see a dragon. I've heard the takes but being alive for 666 years I haven't seen them. The closet is Troye but he's not a proper animal dragon.

"Does Troye know about this?" Troye has bad memories of dragon eggs as they were scared in his family but some dumb kids stole them and broke them. Sadly his family blamed him and exiled him, leaving him on the street till I took him and gave him to Axel. The old times.

"Yes he was the first person I told, and I made him God father as he knows all about dragons"

"Well that's great my love however your training will begin tommorow at the crack of dawn so be prepared to be ambushed by Axel as he is your mentor." I trust Axel with my life and I know he'll train my baby good. Axel specialises in blood magic and my baby having Supreme power can conjure up new abilities such as blood magic.

"Well can't wait. I may be a little dove but I can kick ass and take names" he floats the egg on a purple cloud and get into a boxing stance. I chuckle at how cute yet deadly my baby looks.

"How be we go around old man unless you can't handle it?" My dove speaks seductively and tries his best to be intimating but comes across as a little baby who tasted lemon for the first time.

"Oh sweet little Salem if you wish to be embarrassed then so be it" he scoffs and lunges at me with his fist but I grab it twisting it and knocking over the table, where I straddle his back.

"Cheap shot"

"You are so fat" I put pressure on his arm making him hiss in pain. I go closer to his ear his pants and slowly lick the outer ear.

"I've mastered all type of fighting hence why I'm the king." I boast trying to sound will bad ass but it doesn't work until I hear small whimpers coming from underneath me.

"Salem shit I'm sorry did I hurt you, I'm so sorry wha-....." I'm cut short when Salem floats up and pushes me back with enough force to knock me down.

He gets in the ground and conjures fire balls surrounding him. He smirks and throws one at me missing just by small inch.

I jump out and sprint around the pillars in a zig zag motion, which sounds stupid but is efficient as he misses the remaining shots.

Befure he conjure more fire I push him against the wall with a hand around his throat. I squeeze hard as I can watching his face turn bright purple. He scratched at my hands, eyes watery and fill with fear. He tries screaming but it won't work.

A sudden growl behind me makes me snap out of my little moment and turn to see a full matured dragon growling at me. I let go of Salem and the dragon rushes over pushing me back. The purple and black patterned dragon screeches in pain and sorrow making my heart ache with guilt as I look over to see Salem's unconscious body.

His neck bruised with my hand print and his cheeks painted with tears.

"You better have a good reason to have disobeyed your master Troye" I look to the door to see Troye rush over and Axel look at me with anger.

Troye slowly steps near the dragon and places Salem on its back. Whilst Axel comes and pulls me aside and smacks my head real hard.

"What the fuck happened? Your Queen almost died" he grits out holding me by the throat. Guess I deereve it and much worse.

"I lost.... control..."

"Yeah no shit. Fuck. You think Salem is gonna forgive you. Idoit. Get some rest I'll handle him and that dragon because you are to incompetent to realise your own mistakes." I wanted to rip his head off and shove it up his ass. I'm the king. Disrespect like that will get him no where. But nonetheless I leave.

《Unknown POV》

I reach the final steps of the tall building and bow down to the people at the table.

"It's down my Lord. All the evidence and proof to help us manipulate the queen is set in stone"

"Good little one. You may cleanse yourself"

"My...my family"

"Dead"

"What... I I I did what you said I-"

"Silence boy. Leave bow or you shall join them too"

I nod and rush out. Having feeling undeniable quilt I'm playing a part in this war but no longer will I be a puppet I'll try to set my wrong to be a right. To avenge Olympia. My sweet sister. This is for you.
