"Any question?" A smooth alluringtone that grabs your attention.

Nobody said anything besides doing their own thing in their seats. All eight of them surrounded by a table made of obsidian. The only thing that is on it is different scrolls, servants bringing in certain materials requested. Or whatever "My love you care to share next topic?"

By the tall demoness side was her shorter companion. Attire of white, red with simple places of gold showing. Look so focused as they are scribing on a scroll with a feather. What dangerous torture could show on that simple parchment drip in red ink.

It was just a drawing of different versions of ducks.

"My dear?"

"Right." Lucifer pulls away from his work and looks at the rest. "Should know this by now for 356 years passed from the first one. Extermination as always. A reminder to send out to your hellborns to not come over. They stay. They die. They leave. Well probably still die. Let the angels do their duty."

"We get it."

"You think we can start charging?"

"So, much waste and time."

"Are we done here?"

"Why don't you both actually do it yourself."

Everyone turns to the cloak figure. I barely see anything inside the hood. The horn on top of their head was black and slowly to white. Not expecting to hear those questions. Let alone speak.

Rarely speak to them these days but still able to follow out their duty in Hell.

"So, decided to no longer be mute?"

A long eerie stare pointed at the pair. Nobody else.

"Hello?"

"Why don't you both do it yourself?"

"Do what?"

"Take care of it yourself."

"Dammit just tell them!"

"Yeah, your kind confusing all of us here?"

The robe head slowly turns to each and every one until it is back to the King, Queen. "You should exterminate them."

"Pardon?"

"Exterminate them yourself. Why not? There are 'citizens' even if you don't care for them. Notice a lack of punishment of lately as well."

A lot of tension around. Not of the truth but this behavior of sorts. Sure, it's been a while they have all been together, together. You think by now you would be used to them.

Yet, keep surprising them and know how to push the buttons.

Buttons that's shouldn't be pushed.

"Come now. Why should we? Do you?"

"Yes"

"All right let's not start arguing here." The light violet pupils looked over and narrowed in the direction. "The deal has been around for a while now. We're not changing it."

Many know Lilith still a bit sour how her uprising went into shambles. How it was the reason Heaven now intervenes. One of the decisions that didn't have to happen.

"Not changing it. So, you're both going to allow this to keep happening. You don't even punish them anymore but let them go wild and free. Unless you're close to one to insult you."

"That their fault and choices to make. Let them be free. No, rules like the cruelty dome above." Lucifer waves it away. A lack of care of those former humans. This was their choice to make. The free will that brought them down her. The free will.

That apple.

"It's not supposed to be fun. There supposed to be punished."

"Here an idea. If you don't like it. Why don't you do it?"

"Fine."

Silence.

"At least that is one way to get control back. Some order. Take care of your population issue. Not this ridiculous circus."

"Hey!"

"No, you're not doing that. It's my ring. Let them kill themselves. Some of them are lucky to find holy weapons."

"Yes, such amazing control on that too on the cleanup."

"Things are a bit hectic but we are still in control. They still fear and respect us."

"Swell job. Quite tremendous."

"Was that sarcasm?"

"Yes. You're giving them too much control. The both of you. You even let these overlords have a little too much time on their hand.  Numbers going overboard that make a few of the other rings demons outnumber as the years pass. Then you have those Goetia overstepping it lately."

"Hey, now I know when to go after them if they try to pull some stunt."

"A lot of weddings lately I notice with that."

"Bloodline getting to their head and to see who gets what."

"Not like they really can control Hell? None of them can. That's still us. We're Hell."

"No, you're Pride."

"I may be Pride but I'm still the King of Hell. Just like my wife the Queen of Hell. Remember how it happen?"

Lot of grumbles around. Of that 'fond' experience. Some even glared at another who didn't bother to fight.

"Hell was gone the moment you and this false demoness arrive."

"ENOUGH!"

Nobody has in a while dared try to insult the Queen. Let alone in front of her husband. Even the sins should know better to not cross that.

That could a be a sin itself in a way. Loyalty. Both a good and a bad that can bring out.

"Remember your place. She is your Queen. Just like I'm your King. Do you understand I am the Devil? Don't start thinking you're better because you didn't do anything when we fell here. You are just a farmer with a title!" Lucifer demonic eyes all look down at the one in the seat. Six majestic wings flapping that could knock anyone down.  Unless his tail gets you first. The radiant power holy and demonic spreading out that made the other tense. While some a bit please waiting to see a fight. Or to if the other can put in their place.

The one seated down showing nothing as they look up at the King. Then they got up from their seat and stood up.

"Excuse me. I actually have somewhere else to be." Not going to apologize for what they see as the truth.

Lucifer snarled and pointed a finger. "I want those reports as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

No, response as the other began to leave. No, footsteps can be heard as they walk at the door behind their chair. Even the door section in one other chair.

"I said do you understand!"

Stop as they walk. "You just don't understand-."

"UNDERSTAND IM YOUR KING AND YOU WILL ANSWER!"

Lilith now winces a bit at the power he was using on his voice. The others are now holding on tightly but even they can't help sinking in their chairs. The whole room began to shake from the power coming off of them.

Only one still standing with their back turn on the Prince of Pride.

"...Yes."

Leave

Lucifer pants and soon calm down. From back to other being. He rubs his face as he walks back to his desk. The others are going back to their places. Sits down back in his chair as he felt his wife hand on their shoulder. "What has gotten into them?"

For hell's sake this was supposed to be a normal meeting! Sure arguing, screaming, all that happened before. Yet, this was so unnatural of them. Not like you ever try to understand that one. Only sees them lower beneath. A busy body.

May have once in an awhile thrown some paperwork at them that should have been their duty. Not theirs. But they are the King of Hell. Shouldn't be layered down by paperwork.

"Do we have to say this again? They were always like this."

"Great job getting at them! Fun to see them not able to fight back."

"Stop being a suck up."

"What? I'm just saying."

"The doors are still open."

SLAM!

The wooden doors began to crack. Crack down into the middle that was going all the way down on the emblem. Different cracks going in different directions. Yet, was still standing strong.

Done!

Hope you enjoy it.

A lot of tension you can see from long, long time ago. Before Charlie is born, mind you. So, go very far back. Notice a certain time frame if you pick up little parts.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye
