In the chaotic wasteland of hell, yet again in the grand palace of Lucifer in a large room with a large round table with 7 seats around it. The table is gold trimmed with Obsidian filling giving it a nice black glass look. Currently only 5 seats were filled, at the head sat Lucifer leaning back into his throne like chair with a ĺarge smug on his face, wearing a pure white three-piece suit. To his right sat Pandora, one of her legs resting over the other as she looked forth with a curious yet serious look, to Pandora's side sat a Rose Mary with Blood Red hair and radiating blue eyes, a soft smile on her face as she was nearly laying in the chair. To the left of Lucifer sat Alamir Kaga with quite revealing clothes and a very stern look on her face as she scanned the room. To the edge sat Ivan, covered in a good amount of clothes, his face barely visible only for his mouth that was in a resting position, his body not moving at all as he sat there.
At the other end of a table was a knelt demon, a grotesque creature with a wide toothy smile its eyes hollow and boney body with skin that wrapped around its skeleton, its head twitching from side to side as its chest heaved and breathed in and out with uncomfortable sounds.
"Ladies and Lords…I bring news of the great power that was released not long ago in Northern Japan. Some youngling demon girl escaped the DHC containment and slaughtered–-many of their ranks."
The demon chuckled to itself as its head twitched to the side.
"She's scarily powerful, I'd say that she reaches even beyond the strength of overlord class demons."
The demon chuckled a little again as it looked up to Lucifer.
"My Lord, there is even more. She's made her way into a Demon family where she's hiding out now. There's two demons that are fairly powerful, one of them even the Overlord class…but there is one that stands out greatly, radiates…pure, raw and untamed power from him. We may have found what we've been looking for!"
The Deadly sins adjusted in their seats to pay better attention, only except for Ivan and Lucifer.
Lucifer stood up, the smug look on his face only getting more clearer.
"Good..good, continue observing them. You're dismissed now, I will have to discuss this with the others"
Lucifer then sat down and the demon walked out of the room, the door behind him closing themselves with magic.
Lucifer scanned the one's gathered in the room. And spoke up with his hands entwined.
"We may have found them, of course we'll wait for a clear answer but I'll want all of you to be ready to start moving out and working once we do find out. Pandora, make sure the maids too are ready and that everything is in tip-top shape."
Rose smiled as she looked at Lucifer then giggled a little.
"Great! I've been getting more and more bored with stuff lately so something to do will be a great change of pace from the mundane, sit around and do whatever you want!"
She nodded a little before leaning back into the chair lazily.
Alamir then spoke up.
"Lucifer, are we sure that what we're about to do is a good idea? They are young and may not be ready for it..and if they are not, they could cause more trouble than we want to"
Rose nodded as Alamir spoke, then let out a gentle sigh as she looked at Lucifer.
"Alamir is right Luci, this could be shooting ourselves in the foot right here if this goes wrong in any way, and then what do we do?"
Lucifer waved them off with a smirk on his face as he stood up.
"You question too much, Pandora. Trust in what you do know—my plans never fail unless someone else screws up."
Lucifer says and starts walking towards the door.
The three who were not seemingly asleep glared at Lucifer, especially Pandora.
"That is exactly why we're worried Luci, you're the one not telling others your full plans and you just expect us to believe you, there is a tradition of you botching plans after all do not forget the fi–"
Lucifer clenched his fist as Pandora started speaking, as she reached the end of her sentence he was up in her face, gripping her by the cheeks with one hand and holding her up almost as if to shut her up and or crush her head.
"Stop. Overstepping. Dear Sister"
Pandora would only smile as she stared into Lucifer's eyes, a light hum and pink light illuminating the bottom of their faces as she glanced up and down.
Lucifer stared at Pandora and then looked down, she had her hand to his heart and her hand was glowing with magical circles, marking that she is ready to cast a magical spell that could pierce his heart at any moment, with that he'd let go of her and snickered.
"Apologies…I lost my cool there, one way or another. Be ready, all of you"
Lucifer said and swung his hand towards the door, making it magically open as he walked out.
Pandora caressed her face as if checking if something got broken or if he damaged her in any way.
Rose gently walked over to her as a red rift opened above her head and a bloody tentacle slowly reached out of it, dripping with blood.
"I am glad that I went on a refill not long ago. Got more than enough to treat the ailment…although it was pretty hard disposing of the bodies now that Alamir wasn't there with me to eat the dead that were left after my blood draining.."
The tentacle reached towards Pandora, who sat there without any panic or fear in her eyes as the tentacle slowly pierced into her neck skin and started glowing red.
Pandora looked up to Rose and gave her a nod as she let go of her own face.
"Thanks Rose…Lucifer has been getting more and more unhinged lately, he knows something that I don't even know"
Alamir called out from her chair.
"Something that Lady Greed does not know? Now isn't that quite something, I assume it's pissing you off so much that you push Lucifer's buttons to try and get it out of him? Oh who am I kidding, you two have been like this ever since we met you…only been getting more friendly. Lately"
Pandora looked at Alamir and chuckled.
"Got me all figured out Alamir, it's so frustrating to know that Mister Ego Head over here is hiding something that at least I should know"
Rose shook her head and gave a gentle tap on the back of Pandora's head.
"Pandora you should really be careful or he'll hurt you one day, I know you are more than strong enough to take care of him yourself but what if you get caught off guard like today? Maybe let it cool off, you've got your own scouts on the situation after all…maybe they'll be able to tell you something that might give you a hint at what Lucifer is hiding?"
Pandora sighed as the tentacle pulled out of her neck, leaving behind no mark or blood. Pandora gave a nod to the tentacle as she let out a loud sigh.
"You know I can't resist a chance at expanding my knowledge…and thanks again Rose, I feel much better now"
Rose smiled softly while looking down at Pandora.
"Do not mention it! That's what friends are for, besides you've done so much for me that I basically owe you anyways."
Alamir abruptly stood up as she looked at the two.
"Well, I assume that we're finished here for today now…I'll go and make myself something to eat, I'll let Ivan's maid know that he's fallen asleep at a meeting again so she can bring him to his room"
Alamir says as she walks past Ivan, glancing down at his motionless body.
Pandora nods a little as she looks at Rose.
"You should go do your stuff too, I still have some things to do in relation to some other things. I'll meet you tonight for tonight's evening tea and cake. Apparently Lucina made some yesterday during her vacation and wants us to share them."
Rose gives a gentle nod, still smiling gently and then chuckles at the mention of Lucina still in a sense working despite being given vacation.
"She's such a hard working girl…Wrath will be very lucky to have her once he gets here. And I'll be waiting Pandora, I'll in the meantime visit India for some tea leaves for tonight"
Rose spun her hand in the air and a rift appeared in the space her fingers moved.
She gave a gentle wave to Pandora as she stepped into it and the rift closed right away behind her.
Pandora was left alone in the room with Ivan, she crossed her arms as she stood up.
"You best remember everything that happened here Ivan. I'll be off too, enjoy your rest big guy"
She says and starts walking towards the door also.
Ivan very gently moves his head down as if to give a slight nod.
As Pandora left the room she let out a heavy huff as she thought to herself.
"The strings are snapping, the lack of control is so annoying."
She shook her head from side to side to shake the feeling and started walking again, the sounds of her footsteps echoing through the hallway.
In the meantime, Lucifer is in his room, his hands gripping onto the armrests of his chair as a maid stood by. His head swirled with emotions.
"That Pandora is getting on my nerves, I need to find a way to reel her in again…though her needing to get the information out of me is more than enough to keep her reeled in, she won't try anything until she knows everything…soon the entire world will dance to my whistling, and nobody shall realise until too late"
Lucifer then looks towards the maid standing in the room, she had brown hair, done in pigtails and had sharp green eyes, her hands folded in front of her standing still as if to await orders.
"Ema, bring me a bottle of scotch and some Salami with italian bread, I'm feeling quite Peckish."
The maid would give a quick bow.
"Yes your highness!"
She said out loud as she started walking out of the room, leaving Lucifer alone in his room for now.
