`"Call me paranoid, but it sounds as though he invades the person's mind and uses mental manipulation to fool himself into believing that he has loyal servants."`
Walter
*The demon grew bitter at that remark.* "Then I shall indeed call you paranoid. My lord's gift does not invade the mind. It purifies the soul. Now, while that may seem strange from your line of work or should I say murder without proper cause. What his gift does it turns them into a better version of themselves that no longer has light propaganda floating in their brains. If they were mindless followers then he would force them without hesitation to take the frontlines as fodder. He even treats the demons who are meant for war with equal respect. Not once has be mistreated demonic kind and not even the humans who accepted his gift. Do you know what he does with them? He has an entire city where they live under his protection. Away from the frontlines, if that is not an example of a benevolent ruler then I'm not sure what is."
Franklin
`"You an I both know that is an elaborate hoax. Vylius never learned the proper way to make friends, so he had to brainwash people into giving him their unconditional support. It is nothing but a kingdom of puppets lead by the loneliest puppeteer the world has ever seen."`
Walter
"You know nothing of Lord Vylius. It would seem that your own brainwashing done by years of light propaganda has run deep. There is nothing more I can do. This conversation is over."
Franklin
`"Fine by me. I am going home, and if I catch you within one foot of my doorstep, I will clip those hideous wings myself."`
Walter
"The council will decide your fate."
Caitlin
`"The council has heard both sides. Noble women Makimi of house bazin you have yet to give a solid case that the king was out of line. You here have threatened violence infront of the council when this so called and I would "Demon" You proclaim has had nothing but a civil conversation with you, you have spewed only insults and hate to the demon race which also consists of half of the ebbfellian population, which 90% of the "Demons" Are ebbfellian born only 10% coming from the line of vylius's kin. You have insulted the generation's before you that built this sacred ground that you now sit, walk, run, breathe upon this shows the gratitude that you have for the forefathers who built out great nation, as a safe haven for demons and human kin alike. They gave you the right, the freedom, the peace of this nation which hasn't seen a war in 700 years for you to spit on all there graves. However I would like to know more before making a final decision with the council it says here in the book that Makimi of house bazin has brought upon us now, that vylius's tendril like appendages force there way into the subject that may or may not be willing, and makes them turn in favor of vylius. It also states that vylius your lord, your leader, your king, does not let any so called "Light being" Even plead a case he results to imiedantly "Liberating" Then with his tendrils against there will, no matter if they support him or despise him if they are a light being they are none the less "Liberated." By your standards. Which is clear in our ebbfellian constitution no man, beast, creature that is sentient be forced to do anything against there will even if they're view point is skewed, as we pride ourselves in freedom, liberty, justice for all."`
Walter
"I would like to add Lord Vylius only committed these acts during war time. He has only used it on Light Beings that have brutally assaulted demon kind."
Caitlin
`"Like this person here. One of our own citizen's. Names orestis which disappeared after a long while then reappeared as a commander under vylius with vylius's "Gift" Of "Liberation." Or this man here named okia another citizen of ebbfell which was "Liberated" By vylius."`

*One of the council members walk forward there head and face concealed by a robe and hood setting down the book infront of him showing him the events that had taken place*

`"Is it true that vylius can take dead souls, and turn them into "Liberated beings?"
Walter
"Lord Vylius has the ability of necromancy not anything that you describe."
Caitlin
`"Hmm..."`

*Silence followed as the man closed the book and stepped back the council looked to Makimi waiting for her to speak this meeting*
Franklin
`"While the things that I have said may come across as hateful and cruel, can you deny that Vylius sounds untrustworthy? Yes, I am naturally biased against anything that is not from the light, but the fact of the matter is, Vylius is a threat."`
Caitlin
`"The things you have said not only came off as hateful and cruel, it has showed us you care not for the hard work the people who built this nation matters not to you. However, we have hit an impass we can not make a definite decision, at this time as this can't be decided in one sitting. You two are free to leave, come back for our decision in 2 days. But makimi of house bazin half of the council is also 'demon' do you consider us scum as you said to your king."`

*Half of the council stood up and revealed there faces some were half human half tiefling, some were half elf half tiefling, they had a few miq'outes with fluffy dog ears and wolf tail and some with cat ears and a cat tail, and all half breeds in-between.*
Walter
*The demon bowed in respect to the court and left.*
Franklin
`"You ask for honesty? I shall give you just that. I have a deep distrust of anyone not of the light, but I only kill those who actively threaten my life or the life of another light being. That is how I feel."`
Caitlin
`"That is not the question we asked Makimi of house bazin. We asked do you see your own people your brothers and sisters, as that is what we our if we our together in a nation even if not but blood but our mutual bond of our roots. So how do you see these "Demons" How do you see your king."`

*The main councilman asked her softly as king Sicarus was sitting down with his hands bound and his hair falling down over his face, as he lowered his head*
