Chapter 9: I Solemnly Swear
Harry is revealed to Hell's Nobility and the Overlords.
"Are you sure your ready for this?" Blitzo asked his 10 year old.
"Dad it's gonna happen eventually we may as well get it over with." Harry said as he stood in front of Blitzo as the imp fashioned his own skull broach to his small overcoat.
Harry wore a dark red overcoat with black buttons reverse colors of his Dads coat with white undershirt and a green skull broach to bring out his exquisite eye color. Inside his coat hung at his waistline his own custom flintlock pistol gifted by his Dads when he turned 10 last month. It was enchanted to never jam and never need reloading all he had to do was flick up the lock and fire rocksalt at his enemy. He would get a real flintlock like his Dad Blitzos when he turned his majority age but for now Blitzo wouldn't even let him touch live ammo.
"You can always wait another year or 2 Young Master." Boxley suggested as he brushed his clothes for dust and debris dutifully.
"Box What is going to happen in our own home?" Harry asked. "I have the most badass team of assassins this side of Imp City watching my back tonight and my own Papa is the Prince of the Pride Circle. He can literally turn you into stone with a glare. Plus all the runes and palace guards have my safety in mind too not a hair will be bent on my head tonight as you said to Dad our first morning here."
"Its time sir." Boxley said checking his pocket watch and sliding it back in its pocket.
Blitzo sighed, "He's gonna be taller than me isn't he Boxley?"
"Judging by his latest growth spurt I'd say that's absolutely likely. Also sir he is human born not an imp. So enjoy these moments while they last."
"You are so wise."
"I know." SLAP "Now, it's time to prepare that ass for tonight."
"Yes Daddy Boxy." Blitzo said pulling up a ball gag from his coat and putting it in his mouth as he bent over for Boxley to insert a rather large butt plug. They couldn't be an official throuple unfortunately but yes Blitzo and Stolas still fool around with the butler at least 3 times a month if his schedule is appropriate.
--
Blitzo grunted as he stood up straight next to Stolas who looked down at him curiously.
"Everything alright Blitzy?" The owl man asked
"F-fine!" Blitzo yipped as the plug nudged his prostate. "Everything's fine just nervous for Harry is all."
The door opened to the Hall opened and Boxley stepped inside.
"Presenting Master Harry Rameses Goetia." (named after Stolas deceased father)
The Nobles and Overlords present dropped their jaws as an actual living Human boy walked in confidently. He strode down the middle of the Hall toward the dais where Stolas sat with Blitzo to his right and Octavia to his left. An empty chair next to Octavia obviously where the new official family member was to be seated upon his Pledge.
"I Harry Rameses Goetia do hereby pledge my mind body and soul to the prosperity of the Goetia family bloodline. And do hereby pledge to never betray this family by thought or deed unto penalty of eternal torment." He pulled out a wicked looking dagger. "With this sacrifice of my blood I bind myself to this pledge and should I betray it. My torment shall begin with this dagger piercing my heart and my soul." Harry sliced his palm open and squeezed out several droplets which he flung at the runes around the Dias that flowed with acceptance.
"Rise my son and take your rightful place by your sister as my children." Stolas declared to the room.
Octavia happily took Harry's hand in hers. "This is my Little Brother!" She proudly declares raising their hands.
"Stolas where in Hell have you hidden a human for a decade?" Overlord Valentino demanded after taking a puff on that reading cigarette of his.
"In plain sight of course. Harry darling a demonstration please."
Harry arrived next to Stolas who waved his hand and snapped before Harry's imp form descended over his body. As he was getting older he was looking more like Blitzo in this form but with shorter horns.
"Fascinating." Came a radio like voice and Valentino turned to seeing Alastor walking up.
"Good evening Alastor are you enjoying the food and drink?" Stolas asked the dangerous Overlord.
"Never was one much for alcohol, prohibition you know, but the food is a divine spread Lord Stolas." The Radio Demon said as he studied Harry now back in human form. "And how long has this little one been in the family."
"About ten years next week." Blitzo said. "I found him on the steps of my apartment I lived in at the time in a box like an abandoned kitten."
"Interesting. Around ten years ago you said?" Alastor eyed the scar on Harry's forehead.
"Yes why?" Blitzo asked putting his arms around Harry in a protective manner.
"Just curious is all." The Radio Demon said as he leaned back up. "I see great things in your future lad. Your going to be very entertaining."
Breaking News
"666 News has learned a HUMAN has been raised in Hell from infancy. Let's go live to Tom Trench, Tom?"
"Yes Katie, it appears that Prince Stolas has been raising a human child for the past ten years by giving him an imp disguise, similar to when demons wish to trollop around the living world and now that he's been revealed Prince Harry can join his sister Princess Octavia as his true self. Last night he swore loyalty to his family in an ancient Goetian family ritual and as such by Hells own law is now 2nd in line for the throne of Pride."
"HEY! This is PRIVATE PROPERTY!" Came Blitzos angry voice. "GET THE FUCK OUT OR IM POPPING CAPS IN ALL YOUR ASSHOLES!"
"Oh fuck!" Tom shouted as a loud bang came toward the camera crew. "RUN."
PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW
I got the idea for Harry's pledge of Loyalty from Outlander. If you don't know the series it's a series of historical time travel fiction by Diana gabaldon about a royal army nurse from WW2 who travels back in time through this stone circle in Scotland called Crag Na Duhn to 1743 during the Jacobite Rebellions and falls in love with a young Scottish highlander. There's a scene where Jamie pledges fealty to his uncle Column Mackenzie in a similar manner.
Also it just occurred to me that IMP has to be in the Pride circle because they get Sinner clients. And according to Vivziepop Sinners can't travel outside the Pride circle which lead to the overpopulation problem."
We're getting closer to Hogwarts now.
