I stand there in the corner of the room as I'm holding myself from looking at Valorie in shock. Clearly she has guts to say something of such disgrace in front of Satan. Her eyes flicker over to me as we make eye contact and she smiles, as if saying 'Don't worry.' I look at my father as he seems to be choking and then straightens his tie. "W-well now, so you know the extent of which I should be concerned?" She nods and laughs again. "Yet you are the one that got her here in the first place." She replies with a hearty laughter in her voice.

I feel my mouth agape as I close it and cough into my hand as she looks at me with a hard stare. I shake my head and continue standing in my place. I'm just a maid right now, that's all. Our visitor is just seemingly my father and Lord of hell, Satan. "Why you-" he starts then huffs and relaxes back in his seat. "I see. I'll admit I did put her here but that's because she broke a law." "So there are laws now in hell?" She smirks, testing his patience.

".....yes." "So what did she perchance do?" Another grin from her as his eyebrow twitches. "That is none of-" "No sir, I think it is of my concern. She is under my house, bonded in our contact as I serve as her master until my rightful purposes is done with and then she shall eat my soul and move on. So yes Satan, it is of my utmost concern for I am with her and she with me." Her voice rises steadily as I look at her with pride. That's my master right there.

He tugs at his collar, clearly displeased at her way of speaking to him and testing his mood. She relaxes in her chair as I walk over and refill her tea cup while she dismissed me to the wall once again, clunking two cubes of sugar in her cup and stirring it around in the silence of the irritable and tension filled room.

"I shall not say of the law that she had broken for it is forbidden to speak even of it." "That's a spout of lies." All the sudden my mouth is moving as they both look at me in shock, as if they had already forgotten about me. Valorie grins at my sudden outburst and doesn't lash out like other master's as I nod and continue. "You." I glare at him. "You think I broke a law? Ha! You make me laugh good sir. No, not good sir. Satan, my father. You threw me out because I wished it. I  knew that, as your eldest daughter, you wouldn't simply let me go without breaking something punishable by banishment. That's why I destroyed the castle, because that's the biggest felony I could accomplish to get noticed instead of brushed off like a child."

"Why you little cretin. I've tried to do the best for you yet you turn your snout up and give me nothing but insults-" "Sir." Valorie sharply says to him as he looks at her with wide eyes then shakes his head. "Clearly I am no longer welcome here. I bid you farewell, I shall show myself out." He finishes as he turns tail out the study door and slams it behind him. I look at Valorie and sigh. "What punishment shall I receive, mistress Valorie?" She shakes her head. "None Mofe. I was not at all insulted by your incessant barge in the conversation. It was either me or you that would've gotten him out. Now, I think we've forgotten a few people to attend to, have we not?"

I blink then I remember. "Why yes. We have indeed. Let us go converse with your sister and Sebastian, shall we?"

"We shall, my good Mofe."
