"Let's go to the central city. " Victoria said to the leader of the demon recruitment army as they moved to the central city with some of the vampires that had fought alongside Felix and Victoria.
Felix was left alone with Linder and a 2 other vampires from hell. The sighed as they walked out of the room of Demon secrets.
"I must apologize to you for the way I treated you earlier, I was just trying to protect our...." The hierarchy Demon started to say, but was interrupted by Felix.
"Keep you apologies to yourself, I'm not pressing charges." He replied as he walked away with the vampires with him.

"So what do we do, when Klaus returns the sword from Felix? You don't just expect to go into hell with it and scream that you are Lucifer and back to reclaim your throne with your powerful weapon and expect them to just hand it over to you do you?" Azrael asked.
Lucifer sighed deeply as he turned himself a glass of wine from the bar in Tiffany' s house.
"Care for a drink?" He asked Azrael.
"Yeah. Human drink seems to have a good touch of sweetness" Azrael answered.
Lucifer giggled as he gave the glass that he had already turned to Azrael and turned another one for himself and sipped some contents from it.
"Ah!!. Yeah you are right." He stated
"The drink ain't that bad, but still not comparable to those in the golden City." He added as they both giggled.
Their brief laughter was followed by some awkward silence, then Lucifer remember that Azrael had asked him a question earlier and was expecting an answer.
"So about Klaus, when he returns the sword to me, we are not going to declare a full blown war just yet but we will sneak in and slowly eliminate everyone that opposes to my leadership. Atleast looking from the sidelines these few days have thought me a lot of things." Lucifer stated.
"Well, that's a great idea, I think that might work." Areal replied drinking from his glass of wine.
Lucifer sighed, keeping the glass he was holding on the bar table. "I need to go check on my prisoner, I'd be right back." He stated with a smirk on his face.

"I heard what happened. Why did you decide to attack the demons without informing me, what ever they might have done atleast you should have come to me first knowing that they are under my protection... What you and your team did is unforgivable. If not that you where my blood. I would have asked the reinforcement to bring me your head instead of you." Max stated to Victoria as he walked furiously from one part of the throne to the other.
He had taken the attack against the demons personal, to him it was more like an act of disrespect, but he did not know the kind of punishment to pass as it was Victoria that was standing before him.
He thought that if he let her go unpunished, he might appear weak before then others. He sighed as he looked at the empty throne that was beside his. Now he knew why Lucifer needed someone to rule by his side. He remembered Angela ...
Victoria had been quietly listening to everything that Max was saying, she did not want to interrupt him. But at this point it seemed as though he had finished talking and what's thinking about what to do next - this - to her was the best time to step in.
"I never did it to mean any disrespect my Lord. Infact I did what I did in order to protect the throne. I rushed towards the room of Demon secrets immediately I heard that they had not disposed of Lucifer's sword as you had asked them to." Victoria stated. Max paused as he became interested in what she was saying.
"I did not come to you first, because I thought that the demons had been compromised. If they had all been involved in this together, they'd have conived to remove the sword before I even get there. But it appears that they are all innocent and all those that knew about the plan are no where to be found."
"What do you mean?, I do not understand a word that you have just said." Max stated obviously confused.
"It appears that Magedon had conived with a few other demons which are not here now, to hide Lucifer's sword. Which was why I had to intervene so impromptu." Victoria replied.
"I see. And how are you sure that all these demons are not involved with the plan as well, damn nobody knows who to trust these days, i should have know that these demons still have their tricky nature in them." Max said.
"Your majesty... If I may?.. please?." The Leader of the Demon Reinforcement army requested. Max sighed briefly before nodding tivheaechis side of the story.
The demon narrated how Magedon had ordered that the guards that where in charge of guarding the room of Demon secrets be changed the night that he returned from burying Lucifer. And you he also changed them back the day after. He explained how he had suspected something fishy but dared not say a word because magedon was his superior.
"Who ever brings me Magedon's head. Becomes the new ruler of the western part of hell." Max thundered.
"Sir... With all due respect your majesty, does this mean that all the demons are allowed to roam freely on earth in search of Magedon? Because that's the only way we can find him." The demon asked.
"Well obviously not every demon. But as many as possible. Make sure you find him quickly and return with his head to me, by this, I will know that you all are innocent." Max replied.
The demons took a bow as they ran out excitedly some had been given the opportunity of a life time, they had wanted Magedon dead all along.
