Chapter 504: Two Demons’ Deal-I

Satan stepped out of the hall when he found that his granddaughter and bratty boy had disappeared. This was his house. Do they think that they could run away for long? Even if they can escape the house, they won't ever escape him.

"Foolish children," said Satan with a click of his tongue.

"And grumpy old man," commented Lucifer who had appeared beside Satan. The King's eyes darted as quick as his hand that almost sliced Lucifer's neck. "Now now," Lucifer, who had stopped Satan's hand by his palm pushed the King's hand away from him. "I am here not for trickery or jester. I am in fact here to help you."

"Help?" Satan's brows were raised and he set down his hand when he found out that Lucifer wasn't joking. "Tell me what you want," he was quick to know that Lucifer was hiding something from him.

In time a growling sound came from the end of the passage. Both Lucifer and Satan snapped their eyes to the spot for a large dog who was almost reached the height of the window's upper edge slither out slowly. Its deep fur was the first to make appearance before the bright red eyes that glowed peeked out.

"Not now, Wiggles!" Satan reprimanded, his gruff voice causing Wiggles to whine sadly and despite its frightening appearance, it cried a little before it moved retraced the path it had took before.

"Still having that dog with you? It is dangerous if your granddaughter met the dog and meet its eyes," pointed Lucifer, while his eyes watched the shadow of the dog that disappeared. "Her soul and her entire body would be petrified into a statue."

"Wiggles is Ariel's favorite and my pet. Also if she can't handle that much that would be her own fault. She has to be the Queen. Her father had failed me and I cannot wait further until she has a heir to continue her line," Satan answered curtly, "I don't understand what is not intriguing of the throne. Everyone in Hell covet for the crown."

"Well they are built different. Not like you or me," Lucifer answered with the all-knowing attitude that had Satan to click his tongue in disgust. "I don't understand, Satan do you like your granddaughter or do you hate her? What is your plan on making her stay in Hell forever and rule your land. Even you know that deep in her nature the angelic characteristic won over her demonic nature."

Satan knew it was Lucifer's habit to poke a fun of someone and to pull informations from them. He wasn't one to be fooled, "I also wonder if in your mind Lucy weigh more than your nephew? Don't think I don't know what you plan Lucifer. You want to find and drag out the people responsible for killing Seraphim and kill them because they had hindered you from saving your sister of her death."

"Who weigh more?" Lucifer hummed, "In term of fondness, I might say I am more fond of Elise," seeing Satan's eyes narrowing, the Duke smiled, "Currently, however, it is revenge that I need to complete the most."

"What is the deal you have to offer?" Satan get to the point. Speaking with Lucifer would only put you into a hole before you realize and he would get you trapped by his crafty ideas.

"It is simple. I will help you to make Elise the Queen of Hell while you, help me in finding the damned angel who had ruined my good name, simple and clear isn't it?" Lucifer walked from standing beside the King, making only seven steps away from him, "So leave those children for now and we can have a discussion."

Satan spent a quality of one minutes staring deeply into Lucifer's red eyes before finally he concurred, "Fine. Speak. But remember I want Elise to spend her entire life in Hell no going out even for a second."

Lucifer pulled some thought before nodding, "That is fine by me."

Outside in the forest, Hallow had changed his body into a hound, walking before the man who posses golden eyes and black hair. He noticed how the man had a very stern face. His eyes were sharp and droopy, his chin was hollow and sunken but instead of making him look gauntly, he appeared rather handsome.

"You are an angel," assessed Hallow by the man's golden eyes. "What is an angel doing here?"

"And what is a grim reaper doing inside a body of a chick?" Leviathan questioned with his brows raised, "And you..." Leviathan seemed to be noticing something but pushed it aside. "You are my daughter's friend, aren't you? How did you come out from Hellie Mirror?"

The second question Leviathan asked seemed to be important to his mind as it was a question to him on how he could arrive here but Hallow's attention was torn to the statement Leviathan had said before, "Daughter? Whose? Yours? Who?"

"Elise, my daughter," Leviathan answered, a sense of proudness came on his lips when he had asked the question.

"You are him!" Hallow had stopped his large paws from stomping on the ground. His green eyes was striking compared to his black fur. "You are Elise's father, Levi... Levi-something... Leviathan! Why are you here now? No wait, what was it about Hellie Mirror? Also, where are we? I remember I was in the house! How did I arrive here? Did you do something?!"

"You question so much I am wondering if your unimpressive head is filled with nothing and if you had lost your brain somewhere," Leviathan expressed his annoyance over Hallow who kept on bombarding questions to him when he had things to settle.

"Wha-!" Hallow gasped in surprise, looking very offended. "That was very uncalled for! Why do you have to be so petty talking about my head when you know that a grim reaper is made up of only bones?! You know how bad it is for a person to poke on a person's sorest wound! How evil! Speaking about brain, maybe I don't have those but at the least I trust I have morals on knowing that I shouldn't leave my baby daughter and wife alone in the time they need the most—"

"What?"

Leviathan's voice fell ice cold, his eyes that stared at Hallow burned brighter in the golden color.

"What did you just say, little grim?"
