<div style="text-align: center">Questor:​</div><br/>Dante gave Laylah a smile as he leaned back in the throne. A formal corination would have to be done later, there was much to do before that though. He had his grandfather's crown at the castle and that was where the ceremony would take place. The throne would be moved there since had been the seat of power when his grandfather ruled. He then looked over at the supporters of Valkar who were talking amongst themselves. He could not trust them so he pointed to the guards and then them. The simple jesture was enough for them. They quickly moved to surrounded them swords drawn and relieving them of their own weapons. The Demon Lords began to protest their arrest. "You supported Valkar and some if not all of you are involved with what is going on in the Disputed Land and with the human army massing at the boarder. You will have your day in court........ My Court." The looks on their faces was one of fear and horror. Yes now that he had proclaimed himself King such matters that dealt with the Lords would be up to him to decide. The guards took the Demon Lords from the chamber and to cells below to await his pleasure<br/><br/>"Now to the matter that all of you have been arguing about." he again waived his hands to the empty seats around the room and the other Lords slowly began to take their places. They were quiet and waited for Dante to speak and tell them his thoughts. "The humans going into the Disputed Lands to cut trees and search for the mines of the Angels is a blatant breach of the Treaty. I have sent in a team of demons to round them up and bring them back here for questioning and as proof of the humans breach of the treaty. Therefore according to the Treaty the Contested Lands now are no longer contested. The humans have forfeited their claim to them and the land now falls to Me as the King of the Demons." There were murmers and smiles among the Lords. Each thinking they would be receiving land grants in the Angels lands. "I have the right to decide what becomes of that land as your king. My decision will be final and no arguments to it. My word is now Law." he looked around the room a stern look on his face. He looked to see if any would challenge his words. None did. They expected him to begin carving up the land and giving it to them. He then grinned and looked to the doors of the chamber where one of the twenty stood now. He nodded to the demon and he disapeared.<br/><br/>"You all think that you will be getting land grants now." he paused for a moment. "But you think wrong. The Contested Lands are not to be divided up among you. And no I do not desire to keep them for myself as King." again he paused and looked about the room as more murmuring and confused looks filled the faces of the Demon Lords. The demon appeared at the door again and nodded. "The Contested Lands are no longer contested, for they are being returned to their rightful owners." he nodded again and the doors to the chamber flung open to reveal Mave and Arturis and the other angels, backed by the twenty demons. "I present to you the rightful owners of the lands. Queen Mave of the Angels and her husband, my father Arturis, the King of the Angels." Now there were loud shouts from the Demon Lords protesting and demanding to know what was going on. "SILENCE!" he called out and the Demon Lords fell silent. "As your King, and of all the Demons and the lands we control, my word is LAW. If you wish to challenge me on this step forward!" The Demon Lords looked at each other, not sure of what to do. "Good. The lands will be returned to the Queen of the Angels and her Husband, who are now our allies. No longer will any angel be harmed by a demon. Any and all Angels if they wish may return to their home." He looked at Laylah reaching out and taking her hand. "Though I hope you will stay." he whispered to her.<br/><br/>He then turned his attention to the Lords again. "Now to the Matter of the human army. You will all summon your troops and meet on the Plain of Aka Var. There we will be joined by the forces of the Angels. Yes, they never left. They are still here and now are willing to join us. Together we will face the Humans and see if they still want to go to war." Again the thought of gaining more land by going to war was an overwhelming desire that swayed the Lords. "Also my Lords, the Lands of Valkar and his supporters have been forfeited to the Crown. Again the Demon Lords fell silent and looked at Dante. "These I will be giving to those that I deem worthy of them. " They all knew what that meant and they would strive to excel in following his orders.<br/><br/>Mave and Arturis moved forward to join Dante at the throne with the angel guard taking their place behind the throne. Dante rose from the throne and looked at his father and Mave. The Queen smiled at him and nodded towards Laylah with a look on her face that was obvious. Dante chuckled and he nodded. Then to the shock of the demons in the room he moved in front of Laylah and went to one knee, as he took her hand again. He looked up at her, "I know we have yet to explore our feelings, but I know mine. "Laylah, will you be my wife and Queen?" His father and the Queen smiled and Mave whispered, "It is about time."
