Bab 2: Chapter 2: Before Departure
"Sire! Sire! Your Majesty! Please wait!"
Ploúton turned his gaze down upon his black winged servant, while sitting on his royal throne.
"What's the matter Lucifer? Why are your facial features in such a disarray? To what would be the cause of your trepidation?" Ploúton spoke with a deep tone of voice, as he leaves from his throne and walks towards his trembling servant.
"Your Majesty, I beg of you! Please reconsider your choices! I beg of you!" Lucifer bows his head as he repeated his words to his king.
"Reconsider? To what are you referring to Lucifer? And say it clearly," Ploúton said as he hook his hand underneath his servant chin and force Lucifer to look up.
"Please your Majesty... reconsider of bringing Asmodeus with you..." Lucifer whimper like some poor puppy who was left in the rain by his master.
Ploúton took no mind to it, after releasing his grip around Lucifer's chin he began to clicked his tongue. "Is that it? How many times do I repeat myself?"
"But sire?!--" the sound of a slap echoed across the throne room.
"Such insolence! You dare talk back towards your king! Do you truly doubt your king's judgment that much?!" Ploúton growled as if he was spitting poison upon Lucifer's face.
"No Sire! I wouldn't dare to do anything that could displease you Your Majesty," Lucifer bows his head in respect to his king.
Ploúton scoffs as sat back on his thorne, starring daggers at his servant before sighing.
"I've made my decision clear. Yet, you seem so desperate for me to reconsider. Because you were my father's most trusted servant and dearest friend, not only that but you were also the monster who practically raised me from childhood. For those reasons alone, I will allow to lean you my ears,"
Lucifer sighed out of the intimating atmosphere from his king before lifting his head.
"Your Majesty... I ask you to reconsider your decision of bringing one my most intolerable brothers within your quest because I truly believe Asmodeus is unfit for the task of protecting you sire! And I--" before Lucifer could continue, Ploúton raised his hand as a gesture for Lucifer to pause himself from speech.
"I understand. there seems to be a misunderstanding," Ploúton said with a huffed.
"Huh? A misunderstanding, Sire?" Lucifer stare upon his king slightly confused.
"Allow me to explain. Lucifer, I'm not allowing Asmodeus to join my journey for protection,"
"You're not? Then why?"
Ploúton raised his hand once more before continuing himself. "Lucifer, are you aware the reason why I'm taking this journey to begin with? Are you aware my true intentions?"
Lucifer remained silent, where Ploúton only sighed. "Lucifer, the reason I'm embark upon this journey is because I wanted to enter the human realm, and so to restore the balance of both of our kinds. To do so, it is necessary to have Asmodeus to aid me upon this quest. For Asmodeus is the only demon, no, the only monster who is most familiar with humans and their cultures. Knowing this information now, do you fully understand my intentions Lucifer?"
Lucifer nodded, feeling shame for causing such ill will towards his king.
Ploúton then lightly coughed as he immediately grasp Lucifer's attention. "Beside all of that, I need someone to stay behind and take care of the kingdom while I am absent. There no one else in all monster kind who is better fitting for such role than my loyal servant, Lucifer,"
Lucifer felt proud yet irritated. The irration was obviously of the mere thought himself leaving and having to rely on his younger brothers to taking care of the kingdom by themselves. It was a truly horrendous scene that would've displayed if Highness didn't graciously stopped him from losing all senses of reason. Lucifer didn't felt all but grateful for his Majesty wise decision making. Just as similar to his father the previous king.
