"That will be all."  Kallysta purred as her messenger relayed the details of her consort's activities and movements for the past few days.  "The Deceiver..." Her silver eyes narrowed and she let her thoughts just drift off.. She mostly let Krathen play his war games and kept the palace and new slaves in perfect order but it was also nice to know what was going on, without stepping on his toes and asking questions...  She knew better than to be the pesky, nagging woman at his side and this seemed to be the best way for her to help him from behind the scenes and smooth things out as he went along doing his work.  The messenger was, of course, one of Krathen's brood from another consort - as he had many - so she didn't feel bad for the abuse she inflicted upon the lesser demon.  Not that Kallysta did feel much pity for those that didn't show promise - like Krathen, she too showed favorites and only paid attention to those that showed promise.<br/><br/>Speaking of which... "Where's Lucy," she snapped to another messenger as soon as the first one left with the day's updates.  As cold as she seemed to the younger demoness at time, she had to admit that Lucy was one of the brood that definitely showed promise and she wouldn't tell the girl but Lucy was proving to be her favorite.  There was a slight commotion in the household as Lucy's newly promoted guards were pushed in front of Kallysta by her own trusted people.  Her silver eyes flashed in her anger at her daughter putting herself at risk, for what?  To prove herself worthy?  There were other ways to do that for Krathen and that was something that Kallysta would surely teach Lucy once she found her.<br/><br/>Kallysta made her displeasure obvious as the energy around her shimmered with her rage.  It wasn't enough to hurt any of the nearby demons but it was enough to make them fear her even more - something she didn't mind in the least and felt kept the status quo.  "Find her."  She gritted her teeth.  Her maids scrambled to her dresser to find her appropriate clothing so that she may meet with her lover - this time a sheer curve hugging top with small metal clasps that barely held it in place at her shoulders, giving the fabric a rather plunging neckline, as well as skintight leather pants to better show off her ass and toned thighs.  Krathen would likely not be pleased when he found out what their daughter did and Kallysta intended to use whatever power she had to convince him to negotiate for her.
