Lucifer made his way towards the dining room to find Lucian already present there. He seems to be in deep thoughts. Lucian did not notice Lucifer who stood beside him.
"You are lost" Lucifer commented which startled Lucian.
Lucian snapped his head towards where Lucifer is standing and smiled at him.
"Good morning" Lucian greeted.
"Indeed it's a very good morning," Darius said, making his way towards them with an amused Thea beside him.
"Here we go again" Lucifer muttered.
That got Lucian's attention.
"What happened" he asked excitedly.
"Lucifer got himself locked inside his room," Darius said, intentionally not taking Ambers's name.
Lucifer breathed a sigh of relief at this.
"What" Lucian laugh out loud.
"Indeed you had an exciting morning" Lucian commented.
"How about you? Did you find your room comfortable?" Darius directed the conversation towards Lucian.
Instantly Lucian's face became close

Althea Lost control
"He is still under the effects of the poison?" Darius asked the dark creature.The dark creature looked at Darius before answering."Our Lord was bitten by a master vampire, and that too he released more poison than necessary. In the early hours of being bitten, our lord was completely out of his control and was giving in to the poison. As the poison was so active, everyone whom he bit got infected as well. After we were exiled to another plane, we no longer had healthy people to eat. So we were forced to stop, as we were too repulsed to eat each other. Slowly, the effects of the poison reduced after a few years. By then, even our Lord was showing signs of being normal again. Initially, he used to show signs of infections now and then, but that too stopped after a decade. We became normal, but our bodies changed" the dark creature revealed.He pushed the sleeve of his cloak up to reveal his forearm. It is bent at a weird angle."Our arms are legs are bent lik

He might be cooking stories again to gain our sympathy. It is not believable at all" Lucifer agreed."But his offer to help us, it seems to be a little desperate" Darius observed."Yes, it was made after a long consideration from him. He seems to have thought long and hard to make that offer" Lucian agreed."But it might also be a trick to fool us like he did earlier. The way he effortlessly lied to us without the fear of being caught is suspicious" Lucifer said."You mean, someone else made him do it?" Lucian asked."Yes, someone whom he is scared of. Enough to lie effortlessly. I feel like, he thinks us as the lesser evils of both" Lucifer concluded."Hmm.." Darius
