A meeting with Cecelia

Following your announcement, the crowd disperses. You head back to your estate, which now serves as the new Viscount's HQ. You order Eisheth to compile a census of all the other demons under your control. You needed to know what assets you had before you starting expanding your domain.

"You're not really the Viscount" said Cecelia once the two of you were inside. "My father still is. He is still out there somewhere. Does that make you feel threaten?"

You push Cecelia against a wall. Cecelia does nothing to resist, she only smiles at you. The slut enjoys having her back against the wall and you right in front of her. "The people will obey me."

"Who wouldn't when there is a 400 pound Minotaur glancing at them. Right now, you are just a tyrant."

You take hold of Cecelia's wrists and push them against the wall too. This does not have the intended effect as Cecelia only seems to be enjoying it more.

"You need more legitimacy" Cecelia says, whispering in your ear as if she was trying to seduce you "if you want to be viewed as a rightful ruler."

"And how do I get that?"

"Marry me. You can't just tell the villagers that you are the new Viscount. They are simple people, you need to show them to make them understand. I am the former Viscount's daughter. By law my husband is next in succession. Marry me."

"What do you get for it? I thought you were sure your father would return to displace me."

"I am hedging my bets. If my father returns, he'll either throw you into a dungeon to be tortured for the rest of your life, or be quick about and have your head chopped off. I'm his little darling daughter, he'll do nothing to me once I tell him you coerce me into marriage.

"If he does not return, or takes too long, I need a contingency plan. I am, and will always be, a noble. It may be possible for the lowly farmers, blacksmiths, and other craftsmen to go their whole life being only worth the value of what they can make with their hands, but I cannot. I would find a life of labour intolerable. If you are to be Viscount, I will be Viscountess. Besides, you control an army of demons, you are the most powerful man I have even seen" she slips a hand out of your grasp and gently places it on your crotch "how could I not be attracted to you?

"Every lord needs a lady."
