Chapter 20: A Visitor

Plucking at the strings of your harp, letting your heart determine the song. You were furious, the fact he would knowingly leave you here with that barrier up.

"Don't worry, I'll do that for you," mocking him once more, "he is in for an earful when he comes back." Hearing the doorbell ring made you pause if it were him he would've just welcomed himself inside. A visitor then?

Leaving your harp and ignoring the microphones yells as you passed by the umbrella stand, you opened the front door. Shocked but also relieved that it was the King of Hell.

"Lucifer?" Unsure what to say, "care to come in and have some tea?" Stepping aside to let him in he shook his head.

"Not this time, there's something I need to talk to you about at the Palace," He summoned his portal, the worms dripping all over your porch, "ladies first." He followed after you, closing the portal behind him. The walk was silent on the way and it remained so even after reaching his home.

"So, you wanted to talk?" Sitting at the dining table, you refused any dishes the servants tried to bring you. Lucifer personally sought you out instead of sending a portal or the limo, he didn't do that on a daily basis.

"Yes, I thought I should enlighten you on a few things before I relieve you of your position." You stopped fiddling with your gloves, eyes finding the table before meeting his again.

"I won't be an assassin anymore?" Raising his hand he dismissed any further questions on that topic.

"Well, you can still be an assassin if you'd like, just not my personal one." You weren't concerned about being an assassin, how were you going to make money? Lucifer paid really well, and he didn't question the little trophies you brought back with you.

"Is that all you needed to tell me?" Losing your job seemed like big enough news, at least you'd still be helping Charlie with the hotel.

"No." Requesting a tea from the servants you felt like this would be a long conversation.

"She told me you used to play the piano together," Charlie had been questioning him nonstop, he glanced at Mimzy, the flapper getting the message, "Oh, she also said you're the only one she'll dance with." As much as he appreciated your lack to even dance with anyone else, he didn't know why you had told the princess so much information.

"Charlie, what kinds of events were ya looking for?" Mimzy had finally left the bar, leading the girl away. He watched as everyone went about their usual tasks, it seemed he finally had a break to go back home.

Disappearing into shadows and travelling back through the foggy forest of the Vilokan. Manifesting on the porch, finding the door wide open. Tilting his head to the side and proceeding to enter his home. Surely you were still holding onto his staff. Sending his shadow to find it the apparition tapped his shoulder and pointed to the area behind the front door.
