POV Julius
"Rejoice! For the Honored and Untouchable One has decided to grace all of you with his godly presence!"
Go big or go home, I say! On the walk here I decided to make a flashy appearance at the meeting. Might as well go for a memorable impression if I'm going to meet the biggest Overlords of Pentagram City!
What I didn't expect was the atmosphere to be so tense! What the hell happened before I entered the room?
The answer came immediately once I looked around the room. Sitting in a seat next to where my bae was standing was Makima. The way she was sitting and looking practically screamed to everyone "All of you are beneath me."
When Makima saw me though, her condescending presence immediately disappeared. She smiled warmly at me and waved.
"Hello Julius."
"Hello Makima. What are you doing here? It's been like a month since I last seen you."
"I have been busy becoming an Overlord, as you can see by me being here."
Oh, that totally explains where she's been. It makes complete sense for the Control Devil to want to control other sinner's souls.
"Well, try not to intimidate everyone here if you can please? Especially my girlfriends."
I notice Makima give a slight glance to Carmilla before responding to me, "I'll try for you, but I cannot promise they won't react the same way."
"As long as you try, that's fine with me." I say as I take a seat next to Clara at the end of the table.
"Nice of you to join us, Julius. Even if it is late." Carmilla glared at me.
"I will be sure to make it up to you tonight!" I say as I gave her a wink.
A blush appeared on her face, but her expression remained frowning. "Not the time for this."
"Is this the rumored boyfriend Carmilla?" Zeezi leaned forward and asked, a smirk slowly appearing on her face. "I didn't know you were dating the Untouchable Overlord. Nice!"
"Please, this really is not the time for this." Carmilla groaned.
"How about Makima and I introduced ourselves so we can get the pointless chatter out the way?" I suggested to Carmilla.
A large sigh escaped my sweethearts lips. Damn, I can't wait for tonight!
"Fine." She finally said.
"Alright!" I said. "The name is Julius! The Untouchable Overlord. Nice to meet you all! By the way, how is it going Alastor? Been about a month since I been at the hotel, right?"
"It certainly has, Julius! And I must say," Alastor said, a predatory glint appearing in his eyes, "You certainly have grown strong! I hope your reputation is as accurate as they say."
"What do you mean by that?" I asked?
"Alright," Carmilla interjected, "Makima, introduce yourself please so we can start the meeting.
"Certainly." Makima said, a gentle smile adorned her face. "I am Makima. You can call me... the Control Overlord. Also, since I know all of you are curious, Julius and I have a SPECIAL relationship." Makima made sure to emphasize special while looking at Carmilla, causing her and her daughters to growl under their breaths.
"Oh, such drama! This is really entertaining!" Alastor couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This is a bit entertaining." Rosie said with a small chuckle.
I just looked on in confusion. Did Makima and Carmilla know each other? Why is there such hostility between them?
Before I could ask what was going on, the conference doors burst open. Everyone turned to look.
A short girl who looked like a doll swaggered into the room while on her phone, talking to someone. "Yeah, yeah, I made it Vee. We'll talk after the no body finishes her boring as meeting!"
Did this bitch just call my girl a no body?
"Nice of you to join us, Velvette. Will your... other associates join us today?" Carmilla asked.
Wait, Velvette? Isn't that one of the people I gained the interest of when I first visited the hotel? Where the fuck was she at? This is my first time seeing her!
"Nah, they got actual important shit to take care of. I'm just here to represent!" Velvette casually dismissed Carmilla all while never taking her eyes off her phone. Huh, is she also a doom scroller like me?
"Alright," Carmilla began, "Let us finally start this meeting. This year's extermination was brutal! Far more than in years past. With the angelic legions now returning twice as quickly, I think it prudent we-."
Carmilla paused as she saw Velvette waving her hand. "Yes?"
"On the subject of discussion..."
Velvette suddenly brought out an exorcist head and tossed it onto the table, causing most of the Overlords to start gossiping amongst themselves. Carmilla and I glanced at each other for the briefest moment while Makima simply smiled and pulled out a cup of coffee from nowhere.
"Where did you get this!?" Carmilla demanded.
Velvette jumped onto the table before continuing
"We found it during extermination day! If these holy rollers can be killed, the game has changed. We can take the fight to them! The boys and I have already come up with a full assault plan!"
"Are these "boys" you're referring to happen to be Vox and Valentino?" I asked?
"Why yes, handsome! I'm glad to know you know of us, the ones who actually rule Pentagram City!" Velvette exclaimed.
Well, at least I know why all three names appeared on the interest list at the same time. They must have seen me somehow at the hotel.
"Since yall got an assault plan, I'm assuming you also know how the exorcist died, right?" I questioned Velvette.
"No, we haven't figure out how-."
"So, you came up with a plan to fight against a massive, well-coordinated army without knowing how to kill them?" I asked, playing up my confusion to the max.
"Well, uh-." Velvette voice faded as the other Overlords started talking amongst themselves again.
"It doesn't matter!" Velvette shouted. "These fuckers can be killed! Just because we don't know how doesn't mean we will just let them continue to kill us off, yeah?"
"So, the Vees are suicidal? Got it." I casually spoke as I put my legs on top of the table and reclined back. I looked over to see Carmilla trying her best to avoid Velvette's eyes.
Vevlette must have noticed this as well, because her frown suddenly shifted into a smile.
"Hmm, I see. Who knew the demon everyone has been calling the "Untouchable Overlord" would be too scared to fight? Seems to me you might just be a pussy, Julius!"
My eye twitched ever so slightly, This fucking gremlin!
Velvette skipped her way over to me and stood right over me. "What's the matter, newbie? Too scared to make an actual power grab?"
♪ You better show some respect! ♪
Before I could defend myself, my glorious goddess broke into a song to defend me. While I'm not a fan of people randomly breaking out into song, I'm not going to turn down my bae defending me.
As the song continued, Velvette took over. Damn, I hate to admit this, but she does have a nice voice.
I just listened to Carmillas and Velvette's back and forth before Velvette started talking about Carmilla possibly knowing how the angel died. Causing my vein in my neck to bulge a bit and Carmilla to make deep scratches on the table.
♪ This meeting's over! ♪
Carmilla suddenly ended both the song and the meeting.
Everyone was silent until Alastor spoke up, "That was a productive meeting!"
Velvette laughed and mocked everyone present. She jumped off the table and flipped us off while approaching the door, "Kiss my ass, fuckers! Hahaha!"
"Hey, Velvette?" I suddenly spoke out.
"What is it, pussy?" Velvette said, pulling out her phone. Not even bothering to look at me.
"You and the Vees should watch your backs." I said, digging my sharpened nails into the table with a sadistic smile appearing on my face. "Or I might just decide to show yall why I'm called Untouchable."
"Uh huh." Velvette dismissed me, "Just make sure your old bitch returns to her room safely. Hahahaha!!!" With that, she slammed the door behind her.
My aura flared as my anger rose, causing all the Overlords and Carmillas daughters' eyes to open wide in shock.
"This fucking BITCH-!" My voice rang out audibly distorted.
"Julius!" Carmilla said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Don't let her get to you. This meeting is done. We are leaving. Clara, Odette. Let us go!"
Carmilla walked off along with daughters. I just sighed and followed her.
I eventually walked into her office to see Clara and Odette sitting at a small round table, looking worried at their mother.
Carmilla was at a cabinet that had different bottles of alcohol. She picked one and poured herself a glass before drinking straight from the bottle. She started to mutter to herself in Spanish before I wrapped my arms around her from behind, kissing her cheek.
"And you say don't let her get to me." I jested.
Carmilla sighed before leaning into my hug. Clara spoke up, "What should we do? It seemed like Velvette found out that you know how the angel died."
Carmilla and I maneuvered ourselves so we could look at Clara and Odette.
"As long as they don't find out how Carmilla killed the angel then it will be fine." I replied.
"Want me to deal with the Vees?"
"HOLY SHIT X4!!!" Everyone jumped as Makima suddenly spoke up, sitting in Carmillas' chair.
"Makima, right now isn't an appropriate time to be jump scaring us like that." I took a couple deep breaths to relax myself.
"What are you doing in my office? How did you get in here?" Carmilla asked, I could feel how tense she became when she realized it was Makima who spoke.
Makima gracefully sat up as she walked up to Carmilla and I. She didn't bother answering Carmilla when she spoke again, "Julius, maybe you should come back to the hotel soon? Charlie and the others miss you. Also, Alastor wanted me to deliver you a message."
I sighed. Yeah, I have been kind of ignoring Charlie and her hotel since the meeting with Adam. Maybe I should go back, but...
"A message for me? From Alastor? What did he say?" I asked, confused.
"He asked me to let you know he is currently outside. He wants to talk to you about something important."
