<br/>"Oh sweet reflection, what do the Archdukes consorts have in common? How does one Seduce a lord of hell and have their way with him?" Na'amah addressed his powerful Mirror, Suberbia, as he often did when reflecting on problems and schemes. Several of his companions were with him in the glorious hall where the mirror hung. "Then again none of the Archducal consorts have their respective lord controlled. At least not publically. Naomi did seem to keep her male on a leash at times, and lets not forget the Archwitch Belphagor is possibly even more powerful than the lord of Cania. Do you think Asmodeus felt true love for Bensozia, or was it that she was a safe option? The most powerful devil had the weakest lover."<br/><br/>Na'amah at one time had been briefly welcome at court of both Dispater and Mephistopheles but Dispater's increasing paranoia caused him to keep all but his own inner circle from seeing him, while Mephistopheles was just hard to get along with sometimes. A shame since Na'amah not only enjoyed making the occational apparence but also found both the lords very attractive.<br/><br/>"Why bother with the effort of seduction? Gather your power, Your Unholiness, and slay them." The Forbidden One said. The long haired knight in his gleaming plate mail was the most physically powerful of any of Na'amah's court: A self appointed protector of his master's honor and strong arm of his might. In battle he could cut through the boundries of time and space to deliver a terrible number of cuts from his blade, but the subtleness of long term plots were lost on him.<br/><br/>"I don't think seduction of the Lords of Hell to be worth my time anyway. They have had eons of that being thrown in front of them. Rather than toady up to another I'd rather keep the focus on myself. I'll make it obvious that pleasing me is in everyone's best interest, and you're right Power is a key to that. Think of Tiamat, not Bensozia." Na'amah explained. One of Hell's lords courting him was desirable, but not attainable in the way he wanted it.  The only way that might work is if they needed him and not the other way around.<br/><br/>There was another issue The Bitch Queen had been meaning to see to. Years ago the result of a union between he and a nymph of the winter court had tracked him down and demanded acknowledgement.  Headstrong as it might have been the boy did have Na'amah's lineage so he was given a chance to develop under Demilich's instruction so that he might be worthy of a position among The Bitch Queen's favored. Na'amah almost hoped the boy would be a failure just so he could enjoy destroying him.<br/><br/>"Demi darling, I heard my son is finally ripe and ready for me. It has been years now and I think it's time he come to me. I'm sure I can find some work for him."
