Turns out the cocky bastard was named Erzan. Him and Zephon led me to a carriage, and we rode for hours in silence. While we rode, I studied the two. Zephon would never aid me in my cause, but Erzan had potential. He seemed to have bottled up anger towards God that he didn't know whether to follow or not. And I might just have to pull the cork out. We arrived at a large mansion, and I had the honor of meeting all the angels.
Mammon, an angel with a scar across his eye. His apparent greed and choice of fine clothing meant I could whisper sweet nothings in his ear until he surrendered to my darker cause.
Lilith, the same angel sent down to please Adam. When she refused to please a meager human, she was seen as a traitor to God and exiled to the far realm of heaven. She was a flirt, and I knew she would be the first to join my cause.
Sekvarik, an angel with zero motivation. He would never backstab me, but he would never get anything done.
Ayiel, someone who loved order. She would never enjoy the chaos in life, and she preached that we would be forgiven.
Trelgin, a goblin (not literally) who ate anything. He didn't speak often, seeing he was always feasting on something.
Leviathan, an angel who scanned me up and down and then pursed his lips in anger. I'm assuming it meant he was jealous of my looks. His jealous nature was quickly confirmed when Lilith flirted with me while on his lap.
Elemiah, a female passion ball of energy. She made me want to hurl with her passion about forgiveness by helping humankind. She claimed our fall was a test to see who we were loyal to.
All of these angels were beautiful in their own way. Lilith really stood out though, and I considered asking her if she knew about human's ways of pleasure. And if she did, were they pleasuring to us?
Three days in, Mammon and Lilith were on my side. I had pulled them aside and questioned them. Mammon didn't open up at first, but after I told him about my plan of another kingdom, he opened up like a book. I knew he was going to go to Erzan, and in fact, I encouraged it. Lilith, praise her devious ways, was on board when I told her about my plan of crushing human souls. As I figured, her wrath towards humans had solidified when she was exiled. Then, I asked her about pleasure, and she smirked.
"Maybe we can find out together."

I woke up in Lilith's bedroom. She was still asleep in my arms, and I smiled thinking about what she had shown me last night. I peeled her off of me and lightly set her down.
I strolled down the hallways; the halls lit by the sunrise. I entered the kitchen to find Trelgin eating some sort of pastry.
"Good morning," I said.
Trelgin looked over and nodded in greeting. I sat besides him after pouring myself a cup of tea, "I was wondering if you would be interested in what I have to sell."
His eyes snapped to my face and in that moment, he knew who I was. I wasn't Lucius, I was Lucifer. And I would have God kneel to me.
"And if I refuse?"
"I'll erase your memory, but I doubt you'll refuse."
Trelgin nodded, his pastry forgotten. I smirked, "I want to build a kingdom under Earth. A kingdom that punishes humans for their crimes. I'm thinking of making God's sins punishable. Pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. You my dear friend shall be the lord of the court of gluttony."
"Won't that help God?"
"Oh, while we are punishing the souls, we will be building an army. I just need generals to help me."
"Who else is in this?"
"Mammon shall be the lord of greed and Lilith will be the lady of lust. I plan on having Erzan as wrath, Sekvarik as sloth, and Leviathan as jealousy."
"Who will be the pride lord?"
"Me of course."
Trelgin frowned, "It will take forever to make God kneel, there is no true benefit."
"Oh, my dear friend, that's when my kingdom comes in. Every court will be of your making. Imagine, your court full of food. Delicious savory food that never stops. I will have other demons that can serve in your court and make sure you are well taken care of."
"Demons?"
"Yes, you see, once you go to my kingdom, you will be considered a demon."
"And what is this kingdom called?"
"I'm thinking about naming it Hell."
Sorry for robbing you of smut. (ok I'll admit, I'm not that sorry).
I promise that the people here for the juicy bits, you will get some cookies and hot chocolate, just later in the story.
