The underworld which humans and non-humans alike would often refer to as 'Hell' was very similar in some ways to how it's often portrayed in popular myths. In some ways. The land wasn't entirely made up of molten lava and hellfire which could fry a mortal to ashes within a moments notice. Such locations existed, naturally, yet if there was any sensation the average section of this cursed realm could be likened toward, it was coldness. Not an icy cold, so much as a sickening chill within the atmosphere itself which could take the warmth and comfort out of most people almost instantly. The type of feeling which would make the average creature regret whatever twist of fate had brought them to settle within this damned place.
This, however, was not the case for most of the natural residents of the underworld. In particular those of demon blood, whether pure or mixed, which stood within any position of power over others. And when it came to positions of power within the realm known as Hell itself, there were none whom stood equal to the devil itself. But even an ancient evil such as himself knows there inevitably comes a time where such a position may be best relinquished to a new ruler. One born from his own unholy union long ago. Raised, or perhaps molded, into something which said father could feel a sense of self satisfaction toward. Satisfaction, at least, for the most part. Close enough for him to feel relatively at ease in allowing his one true heir the chance to sample the life ahead of himself while the current ruler took an undisclosed sabbatical from the castle which stood in a towering display over the rest of the underworld.
That is the life Lucian was bred and molded into by father and mother. Mostly father, as the comparatively young demon sat, reclined slightly, within the throne of the presently absent ruler of the underworld. "How many centuries I've longed to sit in this seat..." The dark Prince spoke, his voice coming out in a deep, yet oddly soothing tone while soaking in the moment for however many times he'd done so in his fathers absence.
The throne was rather wide, with crimson red cushions giving suitable padding beneath the seated ones body, while the hard material was black as the deepest pits of hell and forged by the very hellfire of the land around them. Its jagged edges were sharp as they appeared to be, with it not being uncommon for Lucian's father to impale others on them for insubordination, failing at a task, or simply for his own amusement. Often, they would even be left up there for hours or days, with their blood staining and soaking into the black material. The throne may not be his own at this point, but Lucian had made certain to enjoy his 'borrowing' of it during his time in control of the castle to handle the matters of his courtship.
Speaking of impalements. "Perf!" The Prince suddenly called out for his longtime playmate, frequent sex toy and occasional knife throwing target. His voice was shouted, yet remained at a relatively dignified tone, while somehow managing to reverberate and carry itself within the castle walls. Assuming she hadn't strayed too far away from their home, it was a given she would eventually hear and arrive at the Prince's beckon.
While the castle was presently absent of any ladies desiring to win over his favor, Lucian had indeed been greeting many eager hopefuls during the past few days. Each of which had come eagerly. Been greeted. Dinned. Many of whom were bedded. Each of which had been sent away. Either being outright dismissed after having grown bored of using them or - on a couple of occasions - given false hope with a few words on the Prince's behalf to assure them they were still in close consideration. In reality, Lucian only gave such hope toward those whom the Prince may find himself wishing for a later revisit of carnal pleasures before completely dismissing them. It was always good to keep ones options open, after all.
This aside, the reason for the Prince calling out to the Imp was his wanting to address a suspicion of her having a part in a few... mishaps, which befell a few of his would-be brides before having a chance to properly enjoy them. With other such hopefuls expected to be arriving relatively soon, Lucian wanted to make certain there wouldn't be any further such 'mishaps' without him having a word with the Imp. Granted, there was no hard proof of her being behind any of it, but they were the demonic spawns of hell itself, with himself being the future ruler of the very realm they dwelled within. As such, Lucian figured they were granted a touch of leeway when it came to possible unjustifiable dealings with his subordinates. Besides, the Prince considered as he leaned back on the throne with the tip of his tail tapping idly along the floor, it wasn't as if he intended on going so far as to vaporize her. Well, at least not immediately.
