Chapter 8 by Odysseus Odysseus

Do you take up Cecelia's offer?

You can't trust her

"Why do you want to control the demons so badly!?" you ask Cecelia as you pull away from her.

"I want to save you" says Cecelia. "I can banish them."

"And how do you know to do that?"

Cecelia hesitates for a moment, having revealed more than she intended. Suddenly she leaps forward, knocking you to the ground. You scream at your demon to do something and immediately Cecelia freezes. The Viscount’s daughter is still looking over you, her eyes rapidly moving around the room, but her eyes are the only thing she can move. You don’t know what spell Eisheth used, but it worked. With Cecelia immobilize you slip out from under her and walk towards Eisheth.

“Creator, how are thou?” asks the demon.

“I’m fine” you reply. “What did you do to Cecelia?”

"Her body is her own no longer. She is like a puppet and I pull the strings. Creator, if thou want to do anything with her, speak and I shall make it so."

The thought of another human being no longer having control of themselves bothers you. You are not sure what Cecelia was trying to get at, but she knows more about demons than you expected and tried to harm you. You could get the demon to free Cecelia and hope that she wouldn't try to attack you again. You could get her to talk and figure out what she knew. That felt like the right thing to do.

Though it is potentially dangerous to free her. Cecelia tried to attack you once, she might try again. Besides, does she even deserve to be free? You are the new Viscount and she, despite her nobility, is just one of your subjects. You control an army of demons and she tried to get you to concede control. Surely such an action deserved punishment.

"Does Cecelia still control anything about her?" you ask your demon.

"Only her mind. Though, if my Creator wishes, I can wrest that away as well, given time."

You look down at Cecelia, still in the same position as when the demon froze her. Her fate is your hands now, but you are unsure about what to do with it.


What do you do with Cecelia?
