Thread: Accidental Bonds(ryax/lady)

I'm glad., Lucifer said with a smile as he kept up his charade of formality as they headed towards the dining room. Lucifer couldn't help but to look surprised at Wrath's words about Thorne not knowing what she was in for. He had figured that Lucien, at the very least would have told his daughter that she was to be in for a possible arranged marriage with the Lord of Hell. Lucifer couldn't help but to express a light frown over the situation as Wrath continued. He could hear the unpleasant surprise fondling her very words as she realized what was happening and why she was there, even why she were attending the banquet last night, leaving her solitude to be present on such a large scale event. Lucifer sighed lightly, I'm afraid so, young Lady Thorne. I would have thought that your father, Lucien, would have mentioned something., he said, his voice harboring a slight tone of regret. I'm sorry it has to be this way, but there is nothing that we can do to prevent your participation at this point. If you were to not participate now, what would your father say, how would you make your family look in the eyes of everyone else?, he asked her, clearly playing a sly guilt game on Thorne's emotions now to make her fulfill her participation in the bridal games. The reason for Lucifer's mean manipulative play against her was that for her to be safe, not to mention himself and the throne, she would have to participate, or Lucien would have a stronger reason and leverage to play against him. He could spout nonsense like Lucifer was trying to steal his daughter away from him, or that he was no longer fit to rule as he refused to marry and father a heir to continue his bloodline, or other mischievous plans, all of them eventually ending with him successfully rallying the other Lords against Lucifer and claim the throne. Lucifer was also certain that Lucien wouldn't spare his daughter in his try to claim the throne, effectively throwing her into the fray together with Lucifer, trapping them both within a dangerous labyrinth of clever traps, where one graze would mean certain annihilation, not to mention that one graze of each other, they would effectively seal his plans and overtake the throne. If they were to survive, Lucifer would have to play this game very carefully. No time to waste. Lord Wrath. Would you please see to it that Lady Thorne will be having the necessary preparations for the contest?, he asked Wrath kindly but steadily, still keeping up the ridiculous facade of his formal side. He stood himself up, clapping his hands lightly to summon his servants, effectively and quickly removing the contents of the table from sight. I must do the same. I will retire to my chambers for the time being., he said lightly as he turned around, heading out the door. Lord Wrath. After all the necessary preparations are done, would you kindly come fetch me for the contest., he voiced firmly before he finally left the room and made his way to his own. He knew that he shouldn't order Wrath around like this, but he had no choice but to keep up the charade for the time being, he couldn't let Thorne see any of his real side just yet. Lucifer knew that Wrath understood the need for the charade to continue for a little while longer. As he walked himself back, he sighed deeply to himself, and rubbed his forehead in an annoyed and irritated fashion. As he made his way into his chamber, he closed the door behind him, sighing again as he laid himself down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling as he gritted his teeth lightly, muttering to himself, Lucien, you walang hiya minger ziege... He was already basically ready for the contest as it was, not going to bother about dressing up any more then he already was. He was using this time to think about Lucien's plans and how to counter his possible counters. walang hiya shameless, minger stinking, ziege goat Proud of that combination, thank you for the swear site, it's very useful for this XD
