D. Charlie prompt/idea
>Satanon shrinks under Charlies gaze
>He knew it
>He knew it he knew it he knew it
>Vaggie said never question her
>Never ever
>And yet he just had to open his mouth
>And it was one fucking question that he instantly regretted
"Are you still my sister?"
---
Oh damn
---
>"Of course I'm still your sister, Anon."
>"I've never stopped being your sister."

>It took her far too long to utter those words
>Long enough that Satanon can't help but wonder how true they are
>Queen Charlotte rises from her seat and crosses over to the other demon
>Satanon has grown quite a bit since the last time they saw one another, yet Charlie...no, she's not really Charlie anymore...yet The Queen still seems to tower over him
>She puts her arms around him, much the same as she would in their youth
>It's the most horrific gesture of affection he's ever experienced
>Devoid of the warmth that once characterized it
>It almost makes him long for the frigid darkness of his home
>The Ninth Circle seems cozy in comparison to what has become of Pandemonium Palace
>But of course, he wouldn't dare ask to be sent "home"
>It was Queen Charlotte herself who had summoned him to the capital in the first place, not wise to show anything but gratitude for her hospitality

Incestfgs get the rope

Satanon isn't Charlie's actual brother you dingus. She's his "sister" in the sense that they were raised together for a time and she tried to act like a big sister to him.

My point still stands

>The Queen eventually releases the other demon from her frigid embrace and looks him in the eye

>"That's why I asked you to come stay with us."

>'Asked' is a bit of a stretch
>Any request coming from the so called "Butcher Queen" was tantamount to an order
>It was an open secret what happened to those who crossed up The Crown
>If Queen Charlotte "asked" you for your dessert, you handed it over, if she "asked" you to slice your own ear off, you asked which knife to use.

>"To keep you safe."
>"You're a high priority target, in case you've forgotten."

>She offers him a hollow smile and some equally hollow praise

>"I know you try to be humble, but its the truth"
>"If Heaven ever manages to slip another force of exterminators past our defenses, you'll be near the top of their hit list"

>Satanon is fairly certain that Charlie has sent more demonic nobles down to The Abyss than any single exterminator has at this point, but says nothing and plays along
