5 days later, Lilith arrived at Hell and headed straight to crimson kingdom. She was two days after the arranged time but she didn't care one bit. If they really need her, they should know she never arrived at an appointed time.
"My lord. She's here" a servant announced in the throne room.
"I know." The double door opened and Lilith walked to the center of the hall.
"I see you've decided to come Lilith."
"Oh. I think you know I was forced to come. Since Malia is the one you sent to convince me?" She sarcastically replied. "So..... What is it you want me for Lorthaire? Cause i know you resulting for me must be....." She paused and placed her hands on her chin. "...What you want can't be achieved by you or your crew." She looked at him "right Lorthaire?"
Since she got her banishment, she resulted in not taking anyone except Malia in this kingdom as relatives. She longed stopped respecting them before her banishment anyways so she called everyone and anyone by their names and never attached a title to it. Mostly Lorthaire whom she despised since her teens. She knew he was pure evil. Even worse than her before she was banished.
A sinister laugh echoed in the hall and Lorthaire stood up from his throne. "Now that's the Lilith I know. Still fiesty and smart." He began walking down the stairs. Each step filled with power and authority that would make anyone cower in fear.
"Your memory of me is still intact?Shocking."
"Well Lilith.... You are right" he reached the last step and stopped. "somewhat."
"You see, No one else is good enough for this but you. That's why our first option was you."
"Our first option?" She scoffed. " You mean to say everyone of those damned lords agreed to this?" She chuckled "yeah right"
"Lilith Sinclair!!!" His chilling voice echoed but she didn't even flinch. His aura was blazing but in seconds he became calm and composed. "I'm sure you've heard of a great legend. The legend of the ring of flames" He started to slowly walk to her. "One thousand years ago, the ring of flames belonged to hell..."
"It was the most powerful thing one could have. An evil king possessed it. He misused the power and it got lost in earth and became a legend." Lilith completed "Cut the story short Lorthaire."
"Tch. I almost forgot I was dealing with you." He whispered.
"The legend. What does it have to do with me?"
"If you must know Lilith, few months ago, it no longer was a legend."
Lilith's expression went puzzled but Lorthaire proceeded to talk. " The ring of flames exist Lilith. Only hidden in the human world. In earth."
"And.... You want me to get it?"
"Exactly. I want you to find it for me."
"Hmm" she smirked "okay. This is a waste of my time. You want me, on your command to go back to earth and search for the most powerful thing In the world?.... And then give it to you?" She laughed.
No way she wasn't doing that. Ever. "Apart from this being a stupid idea? What do I get from it?my freedom to hell only? Nope! I rather stay banished that do this." Saying that, Lilith turned her back and headed for the door. "Sorry, but I'm not interested" she was almost at the door when Lorthaire spoke.
"Two kingdoms Lilith....." Lilith smiled. Was he about to bargain with her? She didn't expect that so soon since Lorthaire is not a fan of bargaining with someone. He'll rather take what he wants by force. Either way, Lilith didn't stop.
"I'm pretty sure you know two kingdoms is too little for me." She said making her way to the double door.
"Four then Lilith"
She laughed. "Four? I don't it's me you really need Lorthaire."
"So what does it takes for you to do it?"
"Half of Hell is fairly a bargain Lorthaire."
"Half of hell?"
"With all the risks and my precious time, I'm sure Half of hell is worth it." Lorthaire didn't speak and she took it as him rejecting her request. "Is that more than expected Lorthaire?" She stopped right at the door. "If so...., I'm not the girl for this then." She proceeds to leave and opened the door but a gist of wind blew past her and the door got shut with blue flames on it. There were few in hell that possessed the ancient blue flames but now, only Lorthaire control it. She turned to him.
"Half of the kingdom Lilith?" He paced slowly to her and touched her face when he was right before her. He pulled a strand of her brown hair covering her face. " As long as you Get. The. Job. Done, it's a deal."
Lilith turned her face away removing his hand. "Okay then" I'll see if I can Lorthaire" she turned around and left the throne hall.
Passing through the corridors she grinned to herself. "The ring of flames exist right? If it's real, and I get my hands on it, Goodbye Lorthaire, hello Her Majesty. Lilith. "
