Solidifying power

Later that day, you have Eisheth dress you in the finest clothes of the former Viscount, before leaving to greet your subjects. You were their lord now, and thought it best that the villages be made to understand that. When you tried earlier to inform them of your new found rank, Cecelia had stolen your attention. Now Cecelia understood she was beneath you, both in social rank and in physical location when you fucked her, and she would serve as a model that all the other villages should emulated. Besides, the demons had rounded up even more villagers since the morning and all should be informed of the good news that you were a lord of demons. You thought your previous method of informing to the villagers was too blunt, this time, you would opt for something more subtle.

The demons had done a fantastic job of removing all the debris from the village. Yes, there were many houses which were entirely destroyed by the fire and yes there were countless villagers who had been **** and / or torn to pieces by the demons, but you wanted your first truly official announcement as Viscount to be a positive one. Everything will be fine you thought to yourself, and you wanted your villagers to believe it to. Your power, although recently obtained, was going to your head.

There were a few hundred villages sitting anxiously in the village square, many more than had been in the ballroom earlier. You had instructed the demons not to get too close to the villages as not to frighten them, they would warm up to the idea of having hundreds of creatures from somewhere else inhabiting the village with them, but it would be best not to **** this new reality onto them too hastily.

You stand at a perch overlooking the town square where the old Viscount used to stand to deliver similar addresses. Eisheth stands to one side of you, Cecelia to the other.

"Friends, family, my fellow villagers, lend me your ears. For reasons unknown to all of us, countless creatures entered our world yesterday. Whether they are angels or some other type of spirit, it is not my place to say. But rejoice, though initially they were frighten, being newly arrived in our strange world, I have calmed them. Yes, it was I who solely ended the chaos and I who single-handedly saved all of your lives.

"How might you ask that I did this? Because of my unequaled piety. God must have chosen me to save you all because of my righteousness and refusal to stray from the good path.

"The former Viscount has vanished, his location unknown. In his absence, his heir and daughter, the most graceful Cecelia, had selected me to be the new Viscount. Initially, I refused her offer, as I am just a lowly farmer and thought myself unsuited for the task. Yet Cecelia wisely pointed out that since God thinks me worthy of being the steward of the demons - ahem - I mean spirits, that certainly I was qualified of becoming the Viscount. Though I do not personally want this position, I was obliged to accept it. Henceforth, I am the new Viscount, the legal ruler of the village."

The villagers look stunned by your announcement. It didn't matter if they all believed your lies, most would be stupid or indifferent enough to go along with whatever you did as long as you keep them safe. For the others, you were sure there would ways of changing their mind.

Now that you have announced your new position more formally, what should your first act as Viscount be?
