To Win The Devil's Heart

♦️Chapter 19♦️

♡Salem POV♡

We are soaring over the seas trying to reach our rendezvous point. Nethermore and Sunfrye will hide in the clouds and then attack from above whilst Zeon's navy is distracted by our forces me and Lucifer will swoop in and attack.

We made sure to bring that thot Samantha with us as a little one up over Zeon.

"We are near the castle shores." Lucifer links to me. I nod and we both disappear into the skylines above the gleaming sun.

We can't see much down below but we do hear cannons and the roaring of Troye and power scream from Axel.

"NOW!" Nethermore, Sunfrye and the other remaining dragons dives down and blow up the ships as they get distracted. They try shooting at us but Nethermore dives into the water and rips them apart from below.

Most of the ships are burning whilst we see archers taking aim at us. They fire but miss as we zig zag avoiding their shoots. Nethermore blows his flames roasting the soldiers alive in the armour.

I see our army near the front fate as I fly Nethermore to blow a hole in so they can attack. The town people are seen from below screaming and rushing to safety. But there is no safety. Not from me.

Once the front gates are opened all hell breaks lose.

Our soldiers tear Zeon's forces into shreds. Whilst me and Nethermore cover our men with fire to protect them.

"We need to head the courtyard." Lucifer mind links to me. We both storm the castle walls blowing fire and making the stones crumble. If Zeon doesn't know where here, now he does.

The courtyard is decorated with fire and rubble, burning soldiers screaming in pure agony.

From the smoke Zeon appears. Pissed. His face is filled with undying rage but that seems like a personal problem.

Nethermore and Sunfrye land us down in the courtyard to approach Zeon.

"Well I didn't expect our reunion to be sweet." Zeon says turning towards me.

"You're our matched, now surrender or die." I wield my sword pointed at him.

"We have Samantha. You and her can still get out of this alive." Lucifer adds.

"We aren't here to negotiation. He will die regardless." I say to Lucifer.

"There's been enough blood shed already. Let's not add more."

I'm shocked on how he wishes for his brother to live after the pain he put me through. I'll be damned. Forgot about the Gods, my reign was cut short by him. But I decide to play it safe for Lucifer's sake.

"Bring her." Axel grabs Samantha and throws her next to me. She stares around to lock eyes with her beloved mate and for a split second I see the humanity inside Zeon. His love for her reminds me of mine for Lucifer.

"Where is the beast?" I question still on edge on where that thing is.

"Let loose." Zeon responds.

"What do you mean let loose? It's a creature that will drive us to the grave you idiot!" Axel shouts.

"Wherever he is I can assure it's far from here. Now bring forth my mate and you shall have your crown."

The town's people come out of hiding to see my next move as Zeon takes his crown off and holds it.

"I never truly wanted the crown. Just father's approval of me but nope he'd rather show all his affections to my dear brother." He spits out whilst shooting daggers at Lucifer who looks apologetic.

"I can change how our father perceives us but I can change the bond we have as brothers. Join us and maybe we can both rule again alongside our mates." Lucifer steps closer to Zeon, grasping his havd and letting the crown fall.

"Together we can get father's approval and show him how far you've came. You and I like old times." Something flashes in Zeon's eyes, hope that it might be true but doubt fills his mind too.

"No deception just truth." Zeon says.

"Just truth." Lucifer responds.

It takes a while for Zeon to make a choice but he does as he and Lucifer
both grab each other's arm and hand shake as brothers.

Until Zeon stabs Lucifer in the gut twisting the knife making him cough out blood.

"Fuck the truth and Fuck you!" Lucifer stumbles back as Axel clutches him. Whilst I see red and swing my sword to decapitate Samantha's head which rolls onto the ground. The people gasp and whisper but I'm not.

I lunge at Zeon stabbing him deep in the chest as he desperately tries to attack back but my swift movement make it almost impossible for him to strike. I keep slashing at his body whilst he tries to stand up but it's all for nothing when I slit open his throat.

"Your death was too quick for my liking. You will leave the rest of your days begging for death and I won't give it to you. You will be my bitch." I conjure a spell to keep him breathing without healing him.

Lucifer gets up and takes the knife and jams it straight into Zeon's eye, "Father never loved you because you were a rotten little shit. To think I almost fell for your tricks", he pulls the knife out along Zeon's eyeball making him cry out in pain.

"An eye for an eye-" I cut Lucifer off.

"Fuck the eye and go for the head." Lucifer grins and kisses me hard.

The people of Hell all rejoice and cheer on and praise us, acting like they didn't care about Lucifer and I when our crowns were stolen. They may have forgotten but I haven't.

"All hail the rightful heir!" One of the fanatics say. People agree and jump out in celebration.

"Let they're son journey us into a new age." A women screams out. Blaze won't be ruling you bitches.

A child comes up to me with flowers showing his gratitude but I don't buy it. I don't buy any of this.

No one is innocent. No one is innocent. No man, woman or child is innocent.

I hear the screams of a mother as she watches her son get engulfed in my flames. Lucifer and the others step back as I set most of the people alive.

"Salen stop this madness now!" Lucifer pleads for their lives but he doesn't understand we have purge them. Cleanse them all. They're in Hell for a reason.

Lucifer tries to stop me but I launch him into a wall. No one will stop me. I float up to Nethermore and watch as he grows twice his adult size, crushing some of the bystanders.

His wings launch us in the air as we rain death on all our traitors.
