Knife of secrecy

"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, so to those kind of demons, it was like a dream come true.

When the demons where finally gone, Victoria brought out Lucifer's sword and presented it before max hoping that Felix was wish would come true - about max trusting someone else other than himself to dispose of the sword after what The demons had done.

She gasped shortly as Max collected the sword from her hands and observed it for a few moments.

"Indeed, this must be why I have been having all this weird dreams lately." Max stated still grimacing through the sword with his eyes. He sighed, then he turned to look at Victoria.

"Can I trust you to really dispose of this sword?" He asked.

The question came unexpectedly to Victoria, she was not sure if it was a trick question or an actual question. She thought I'd she said yes that she would sound too desperate and if she said no it would be as tho she was pretending. But either way she knew she had to say something.

"I don't know my Lord. You alone know what you want to do with the sword and your wish is my command." She answered.

Max smiled. "Good I can trust you. Infact you have been so loyal to me truth be told, you are the only member of our family that I trust. I don't even feel that way about your brother. Keep on with this path and I assure you hell will be yours one day."

Victoria hieved a heavy sigh of relief with her eyes tightly closed as she took the sword from Max who was handing it over to her.  She never thought he'd trust anyone with the sword again but here he was handing over the sword to her.

"Well like you rightly said, one day hell would be not just mine, but my brothers too.. we'd rule side by side from those thrones behind you." She muttered to herself.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Max asked.

"Nope I'm just... Gonna go, carry out your orders as son as possible." Victoria answered.

"Good."

She took a bow and left, the vampires begins her doing same too.

"Haha!!" Felix shouted whole heatedly, when he saw Victoria walk in with Lucifer's sword in her hands. Klaus was also part of the vampires that where waiting in the palace for her to return. He hieved a sigh of relief when he saw her walk in atleast everything was working out fine.. Felix was not going to have to kill him anyway, now all he needed to do next was to find a way to still the sword and take it to Lucifer.

But he knew that that was not going to be possible at this time as Felix was already requesting a meeting with all the vampires that where present in the Eastern part of hell.

He watched Felix stand with pride holding Lucifer's sword in his right hand as the crowd started to gather outside of the palace.

Felix cleared his throat to get their attention when he was sure that everyone had gathered around.

"I called this meeting in order to announce something. Something that concerns all of us. It is of great concern to all of us but not everyone is going to get a chance to listen to what I have to say." Felix stated.

He brought out an ancient vampire knife that had been in the palace for years - the ancient knife was only used to swear oats of secrecy and it had proven to be very effective over the years. 

All the vampire had to do was to say the secret that he swore to keep and bite on the knife. If he broke his vow, the vampire vanishes painfully out of existence without even an Ash to remember him with.

"What are you doing with the knife of secrecy. Is there anything we should be worried about?" One of the vampires shouted towards Felix.

"Oh, no there isn't, I just want to make sure that what ever we discuss here, remains here. Now once you've taken the vow, you bite the knife and go into the palace, we do not have time to waste." Felix answered as he passed the knife  round.

He watched carefully as the knife passed Frome one person to another, each swearing not to tell anyone other vampire a thing about what they where going to discuss, and biting the knife before walking into the palace.

Some vampires thought that this was crazy and they just walked away but majority of the others took the vow and went in out of curiosity.

When they had completed the process and those that where interested had entered into the palace, They shut out the few others that had refuced to partake .

Felix sighed as he was impressed with the number of vampires that he was seeing around.  He smiled as he took the stage and started to address them.
