As in love with Lucifer as Belial was, it didn't see much of a point in getting its manor tidied up. After all, it wasn't as if Lucifer had never been there before, and it looked plenty tidy the way it was.

So, Belial sat back, and waited for its servants to bring him to it.

Comments

Lucifer looked vaguely uncomfortable as he was lead in by one of Belial's servants. "Good evening," he said, without much feeling. He'd always found Belial both disconcerting and irritating, but there was no denying that Belial was useful at times... and loyal. Very loyal.

[thisones_noone]

"Good evening," Belial said, standing and giving a bit of a bow. "Please, make yourself comfortable, milord."

[obsessedrebel]

A little stiffly, Lucifer sat down in one of Belial's chairs. "What did you have for me?" he asked, sitting up a bit too straight, even for him. "You said you had information."

[thisones_noone]

Belial smiled seductively, sitting at Lucifer's feet and stroking his thigh. "We have 46 healers, 19 of which are trained, and I've begun training the others. "The royal's have a healer, and a commander who I think should be easy to bribe. There are a couple of young women on their side who should be quite easy to kidnap, all of which have met with the prince."

[obsessedrebel]

Lucifer jumped when Belial started to rub his thigh. Squirming a little, he sneered and didn't even bother to try hiding how uncomfortable she made him. "I see," Lucifer drawled, even as he felt his stomach lurch. "The healer, the commander, the young women... what are their names?"

[thisones_noone]

Belial wasn't completely oblivious to Lucifer's discomfort, but it didn't stop. Instead, its hand snaked up slowly towards his crotch. "The healer is Fredrick Ferguson, the commander is Jonathan Nilson, and the young women... well, there's Rukia Kuchiki, but her brother might make it difficult. There's also Zelda Harkinan."

[obsessedrebel]

Lucifer grabbed for Belial's wrist. He could only allow this to go so far. He took in the names with a stoic, thoughtful expression. "Send Maladict to talk to Nilson. I don't trust Ferguson as far as I can throw him, but perhaps I'll make contact with him myself at a later date."

As for the girls... Although he hadn't met Rukia but once, he was fairly well-acquainted with her elder brother. The prick. And he was also familiar with Zelda.

"I want Zelda in locked in our tower two weeks from today. If possible, I'd like Rukia as our captive as well, but if you can only feasibly grab one girl, make it Duchess Harkinan." Although Rukia's brother's cooperation was valuable, Zelda's rank as a duchess made her even more so. And she was less risky, as well.

Although... "Of course, we might not need to choose if we can simply find someone to lure both of them to us." Not that he trusted Belial to do any luring.

[thisones_noone]

Belial made a soft noise, and stood up. Then, she sat herself right back down again, this time on Lucifer's lap. "One shall do its best to bring Zelda to you, Milord. Do you have any ideas on how to lure the girls, or should this one take that upon itself?" Belial was rather good with temptation.

[obsessedrebel]

"Do we have anyone who's close to them? Anyone they trust? Speaking of trust, what do you think you're doing in my lap?"

Lucifer's eyes were narrowed in annoyance. He didn't enjoy this one bit, even if he knew Belial's services were valuable.

[thisones_noone]

"No, though it shouldn't be too hard to trick either of them. Zelda seems especially trusting." It ran its hands up Lucifer's chest, and wrapped them around his neck. "I'm just making your visit more... enjoyable," it purred, leaning in to kiss him.

[obsessedrebel]

Lucifer turned his head away. "Don't touch me," he said disgustedly. "Fine, then. Tell Crowley to bring us Rukia -- her brother won't let her associate with known rebels or believe they're 'reformed'. Tell him to invite her riding, invite her walking, whatever, it doesn't matter, just lure her away from the castle and then ditch her so we can grab her.

As for Zelda... I want you to choose someone to go to her, claiming to have switched sides and wanting back in the King's good graces, begging her forgiveness... keep up the act for a few days, and then invite her somewhere. Somewhere excluded. Be waiting for her when they're far enough away from the castle. Bring reinforcements, just in case."

Lucifer paused. "Not that I expect you to, but if you ever get the opportunity, kill Fay on the spot. Just because he's irritating."

[thisones_noone]

If nothing else got it hot, Lucifer certainly did when he was disgusted with it. "I will do as you wish," she said, not exactly advancing on him any longer, but not getting off of his lap either. "Do you have anyone in particular in mind to lure Zelda away?"

[obsessedrebel]

"Do we have any remotely convincing actors within our ranks?" Lucifer said. He was all but two seconds away from violently shoving Belial to the ground.

"Besides me, of course. Obviously, I'm not a viable option for this."

[thisones_noone]

It was entirely possible that that was exactly what Belial wanted.

"I shall look into it," Belial said. "I suppose they would also have to be openly rebelling..." though there were several people who were openly rebels, there were even more that would rather work in secret.

[obsessedrebel]

"Obviously," said Lucifer with a sneer. Normally, people working in secret was a benefit, but in this case... it didn't work.

"Make sure it's nobody too sentimental. We can't blow this on someone'll who get caught up in their own charade."

Lucifer blinked, as though something had just occurred to him. "Have Light keep an eye on L." In Lucifer's mind, L was one of the few real threats to the rebellion. "In fact, have several people keep an eye on L, if you can manage it."

[thisones_noone]

"If we can find out who L is," Belial said slowly. "One will try my best though. And one supposes that if anyone can figure out who this L is, it would be Light." Belial didn't really like Light all that much, and was sure that once he had the chance, he would rise up against Lucifer too. He was, however, smart, and a valuable asset.
