Good news. Everyone alive.

Sure, let's make that the good news.

After what happen a few days ago others everyone is on edge.

Variety of reason.

The heart attack everyone felt Moxxie, or Puppet, supposedly dead. Along with everyone else on heart attack before that. Moxxie just told them Satan was annoyed but chill about it now. Along with a message to Stolas will talk to him later.

Everyone not fulling believing that Satan chill about it, that which pile on those questions. Questions able to avoid or answer. It was always going to be a cover up routine Puppet work for Satan. If and only if anyone else were to find out about them. What they do? That with getting in Satan business.

Which nobody can answer as everyone thinks Puppet dead.

Rude but whatever.

Less mouths to asked Moxxie question. Sure, Stolas might be asked about it in the near future. The owl just say he will use the 'Satan threat him card' to not talk about. Which did happen. Just like Stolas and his punishment. That wasn't a show. The proof also being the bracelets. It was very much real same with the others that are affected.

Right Wrath did visit Stolas at his home a few days later. Would have sooner but needed to have a quick little 'chat' with the other five sins. Nothing to worrisome and lot of jump scares.

The owl got jump scare attack same with his daughter in the kitchen. The standard talk routine about the punishment. Arm band magic resistance properties. What reports will be going through and select Goetia to meet Stolas for reports. How the magic of the house arrest goes all around the property. He can't go in or out. They even tested it.

"OUCH!" Stolas yells as he, ordered, to go past the gate. All for to be thrown all the way back to his doors.

"There it works." Wrath said a bit to casually as he watches it all. Not bothered to see Octavia gapping at the window and now running to go to her father. Or the laughter, being held back, by a sniper hidden. "If it makes you feel better your ex will have to do this too."

Stolas can only shakily give him a thumbs up and then drop his arm. They are going to feel that for a while.

Can only leave the 'house arrest' if it was emergency.

Before the sin left did leave one last warning. Not to just Stolas, but his daughter. Loud enough for even Striker too hear. It'll be a similar warning to give to IMP.

If anyone opens their mouths or beaks about Moxxie being Puppet who is their solider. Even dare ask them about talking to them about favors or throw some blackmail card over their head. Well, the sin wasn't playing that day. Their own threat hanging on everyone head. Then very casual mention if Moxxie the one who speaks up about it. That their own fault and headache.

Typical.

IMP. Well, that situation Asmodeus was the one to talk to them about it. Another up to date meeting so to speak. Good news after his talk to Satan that didn't involve years of paperwork and something about a belt. IMP will be monitor. IMP will need human disguises or clothing disguise budget. IMP will need to send a report of the amount of kill happening a week to Asmodeus. No, if. No, buts. If they get caught again like the close call with DHORK. IMP is done.

Don't fuck it up is what they are being told.

You survive and better take great advantage of that.

Hey, at least still got those free interns. When Moxxie learn about these interns. On the outside the same expression and told them cool. On the inside screaming in joy.

Yes!

Let's not forget Octavia. One the whole got very stressed, crying and just held on to her father, Moxxie and Loona the longest. Which the two girls did have that needed talk privately. It was a start. After some calming down got to the talk about Striker. Who has been her shadow guard for the past few months until she turns 18. That one well she was slightly annoyed but didn't seem to surprise. Something about royals doing that. Besides confusion because why Striker? That one told her to not worry, and it was a deal. She would have pushed further but with everything combines, with the visit of Satan, she put a hold on questions till she was ready for the mentally.

Also, she blocks her uncle number after learning what he had done. In a way felt a bit used. All those odd questions. How he was no better than Stella at the end. Just wants the damn book, richness and possible her father position.

Which wouldn't work. It would go to her. That made her sick a bit. A reminder what she is at the end of the day.

Plus, looking back a little worry now. Did Octavia ever mention Puppet name before or the description? When she was a little owlet? If it was possible, it could have been excused for childish imagination.

It still stayed in the back of her mind.

Speaking of said disowned family.

Wrath was telling the truth when they gone to the Marquis home. Did do a similar talk and punishment at Andrealphus home the same day. The punishment towards Stella as it was similar situation to Stolas besides the lack of duty. Lockdown at her brother home until Octavia is 18. No, interaction with Stolas.

How that turn out?

Well, not like Stella can shout, threaten or insult the one in the face who gave her the sentence. Not even she that suicidal, unlike the Puppet she heard, to dare make a move. Not at the sin of Wrath who present it with the other Goetia. Also, a warning to Andrealphus, again, to stay out the sin business. No, interaction with Stolas unless it becomes duty related. Stella did have to 'test' the magic on the property

"OUCH!"

Andrealphus was secretly amused seeing his sister get thrown back like a soccer ball. Lift his spirit up a bit to not think about the embarrassment fallen on his shoulder.

"Yes, my Lord." Andrealphus bowed, with Stella by him, at the Lord of Wrath as they leave through the portal.

The fiery portal close. Left a huge puddle of water that melted the ice around outside of his property. The peacock groan as he gets to work fixing his front yard. While his sister blew up. He was very much use to it but right now. Wish she just shut up the rest of the day.

"Andrealphus can't you get this off me!" Stella demanded as she glared at the cuffs. So, horrid and ugly looking. Doesn't see her brother send her a 'are you that stupid' look.

"My dear ignorant, idiotic sister." He grits his teeth while focusing. "That is sin own magic. I can't break that. The others wouldn't break that. To ask is ridiculous itself. So, you better enjoy your time here till Octavia is 18."

"So, were just going to do this!"

"You're lucky it even is this."

"Maybe if you tried hard- "

"Satan knows you are the one who hired the assassin, Stella! Practically taunt it at me and Stolas face." Andrealphus snarled as he sees it sink in.

"You said you and Stolas only knew?"

"Along with the one who tortured and kill the assassin after they got the intelligence. Of course, Satan would know! He created the Savaged Division!"

It just left both his, and look like, Stolas minds. The heat of the moment.

Satan knows. It's like their own personal game to watch and see who will crack first. Push the wrong direction to see who will screw up. Ready to lash down and won't care if either of them was to die, suffered or lose their position.

To them they are nothing to Satan.

That how he always viewed the Goetia and only deals with them out of spite. Duty. Whatever agreement was made a long time ago.

Andrealphus grabbed her shoulder tightly. His ice abilities began to spread out with his tails raising up very high. "You will be staying here. You will not be planning any killing. If you want anyone over, you come to ME first for a heads up."

"Andy you can't be serious."

"I am. So, help me Stella if you're holding back any other information that passed thought that empty skull of yours or some grand scheme. Spill it out now!" Too close to her face as his left eye twitch.

Stella just shook her head fast no. Never did tell him she hired another before but with Stolas still alive. Must have failed. Can't believe she fell for such a threat. This threat and the pressure from her brother on the other hand is worse. Will keep her beak close to that and shake her head no. Also, to get him to let go as she can feel the ice seeping through her dress.

This is the Andrealphus to not push right now. Give it a few days, and wines. It'll be back to normal for them.

"Good." Let her go. He looks back to normal, cool and calm. As if nothing ever happens in the slightest. He pats her shoulder. Not fazed by her wide eye expression he goes to walk pass by her. "I will be in my office, and I do not want to be disturb. Toodles!"

Totally fine over there.

Everything will be alright.

Andrealphus can fix this.

Can fix the embarrassing reputation.

Will deal with Stolas another time. Can rot in his home for the time being. Hope he is crying his eyes out that his buddy or whatever for that Puppet.

Get his spoiled niece to listen.

He will be back on top!

Now where the FUCK is his wine? Andrealphus star at his bar in his office. The bottle was empty. Both of them were.

What.

Stay calm. Stay calm.

He checks the hidden stash.

Nothing.

Maybe in his cellar? Of course!

Open a portal to his personal cellar.

Empty.

The servant walks past his Lord door. Then it blew off its hinges from the ice breeze cast through. The imp freeze on the spot. Lucky to not be stab by the sharp icicles shooting out.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
