HELL: The Dark Lord In City

Chapter 11

Lucifer was lying on his couch with his feet resting on the table in front.

Maze entered the main hall of Lucifer’s mansion and noticed him lying lazily lost in deep thoughts.

“What’s wrong?” Maze asked and got himself comfortably seated on another couch.

“That girl…she is taking that incident way too seriously..why can’t she take it as other humans?.. Someone seriously ask her to not overthink about a mare imagination.” Lucifer said with disappointment in his voice while his head laid back.

“I agree..firstly your powers didn’t impacted much on her and now she’s taking all that shit way too seriously.” Maze said with a sigh.

“I don’t want her to mess up her mind with all this shit. She’s a mare human being..I don’t want her to know what exactly happened that night..but trust me if she continues thinking about that night like this she would definitely recall everything..” lucifer said in disappointment.

“That would fuck everything up..” maze added in a same low tone as Lucifer.

“Including her sanity..” lucifer said.

“We have already lost ours..now people around us are loosing it.” Maze said with a fain smile with his head laid back and eyes closed like his friend..Lucifer just smirked at this sentence knowing he joking but he was also somewhere right.

“Neither we got hold of Gong nor the mystery behind the girl’s face got revealed..why the fuck things are not going our way?” Maze asked in annoyance.

“They were exactly our way my boy..” lucifer stated.

“What?” Maze asked rising his face and looking towards Lucifer with confusion.

Lucifer looked upto Maze and said, “Gong never came to the lounge but his men did.”

“His men? Like seriously men? U mean human men?” Maze asked.

“Yess, he has two human under his influence..and for now we can’t do anything about it.” Lucifer said.

“Ohh god, I hope they don’t get killed like that woman did.” Maze said and in another second felt guilty to speak up such a thing..he knew this would hurt lucifer.

Lucifer looked at him and without saying a word just nodded in response…

“But..but..When? When you noticed them? I didn’t saw anyone.” Maze questioned, changing the topic.

“Even I didn’t..But I heard them..” lucifer said all thanks to his power of hearing even slightest of whispers in a chaotic situation.

“And what exactly have you heard?” Maze asked in curiosity.

“Umm..they want Dia..” Lucifer said and stopped to see Maze’s expressions who was as glancing at him with full concentration.

“Ohh come on now don’t stop mid way..firstly you always talk in hints and take eternity to come directly to point and now you just stopped mid way…go onn tell me fast..” maze shouted in agitation knowing Lucifer was deliberately not coming to the point.

Lucifer laughed and then became serious and said, “ok ok..I’m serious now..they came there for her but acted opposite maybe because of our presence around her. I’m sure Dia is safe for now as they know that we are with her but it’s not for long.”

Maze grew tensed and asked, “we have so many things to handle..how we are supposed to deal with it..moreover our powers are also limited…Can we try to reach God and ask him to at least give us all our powers?”

“Go on…try it..and tell me if he even listens to your wishes, fulfilling it is a last step.” Lucifer said with a hint of displeasure.

“Why you always think that god will not listen to our wishes..he may not be talking to us directly but I’m sure he is watching over us.” Maze said with a positive attitude.

“Huh..watching over us and enjoying probably laughing at our stupid fate and..seeing people getting killed by that Gong.” Lucifer sighed, still holding the grudge that his father didn’t even tried to made a contact with him in last 300 years.

“Don’t talk about the Good lord like that Lucifer.” Maze angrily said. He may was working for Lucifer but he had immense respect for god in his heart..plus it was his duty to correct his friend wherever he goes wrong.

Lucifer got irritated at this and got up from the couch. He shouted, “ohh Good lord?…seriously?? Your GOOD GOD has time for each and every soul except for me..what Good had he done for me?..Leave the good what had he done for me? He didn’t even came to check upon his own son, how the fuck was I dealing with all the situations on this mortal world… he knew how much was I suffering..he knew the guilt I went through with whenever a single person looses his life..but still he never really bothered to help me out.. I think Your good lord is not so good with me.”

“Why you always look at the wrong side? You are so ignorant about his blessings Lucifer. How can you think of him that way? Do you even realise how blessed you are to be his son..he made you what you are today? Leave feeling blessed aside you don’t even consider thanking him for making him who you are today.” Maze spoke in anger..and this was purely because he cared for Lucifer.

Lucifer and Maze were best of friends and like other friends they also used to fight a lot and when they used to do it they would keep all the formal greetings aside..at that time there was no lord and no chief security…it was just two friends fighting.

Lucifer felt a rush of blood in his veins he was so annoyed with Maze’s remark but he was in no mood to back off, “ohh so I should thank him for being my father..and making me who I’m but what about being a good father? Shouldn’t I question him for not being one for me?”

Maze took a deep breath and said, “and what in your opinion should he do to be a good father to you? Huuh? Spoon feed you on each topic of life? Can’t you be mature enough to deal with your problems on your own?” Lucifer was shocked at these lines but before he could say anything Maze shouted again, “Luci, you are the best king hell could ever get.. trust me it’s only because you are made that way..you are a born king..who is fair, just and brave…but if you think properly you have not done anything to earn that throne.. you respect that throne but you don’t understand it’s value. Lucifer people around you serve the throne..but if you were not the hell king..just imagine if you were not the king..will you have received same amount of respect from them that you get now? Your aura is great but do you really work hard enough to maintain that aura even without your throne?”

Lucifer looked upon his friend in disbelief and asked in his baritone, “you think I don’t deserve the throne?”

“Nooo..You do deserve it..but you have to prove it and make others believe in you. Luci listen calmly..and with an open mind, I have never said this before but your dependence on God would make people feel that you got the throne because you are his son..not because you deserve it.” Maze said while standing right in front of lucifer and looking at his pure blood red eyes.

“So now I can’t even expect my father to look after me?” Lucifer asked.

“May be he’s refraining to do so..to make you do your work on your own.” Maze said.

“How does this even make sense?” Lucifer said with a sarcastic chuckle.

“Lucifer in all these years you have just complained about him not showing you the way..and not even for ones questioned yourself why are you not able to find solution to your problems..why?” Maze asked and lucifer raised his right eyebrow.

“Because you are dependent on God. You think he’s your father so it’s his duty to help you out..and in return all you have to do is do little things as rest god will handle on his own…and by chance if he don’t help you and ask you to go and find your own solutions like he’s doing now..then he’s a bad father..right?” Maze asked and lucifer wanted to fight back but deep down he knew that Maze was somewhere right. Each word that came from Maze’s mouth was like an arrow for lucifer that was giving him a reality check at every single blow. He knew He was actually not doing enough from his end as he had this hope that one day hod would come and solve everything..

“Maze..Stop it for now..I don’t want to talk..” lucifer quietly said and turned around to walk away.

Maze didn’t stopped him but said from behind, “he had not abandoned you my friend..he’s giving you a chance to stand on your feet and stop asking for his help..it’s a chance to rectify what was wronged.. catch Gong and prove everyone that god was right in making you the hell king.“

Lucifer didn’t turned back and went towards his room. While maze felt guilty for talking to him in that way but knew it was necessary..
