Chapter 75: Regrouping
October 11th.
We took a week off to figure out how to get into the heart of Stella's Palace. Then, we decided to come back and chat in Cattleya's apartment.
"So, that bitch does have a Palace." Boris said, "And we saw her in real life, but never her Shadow."
"Yeah, if she has a Palace, then she also has a Shadow." Cattleya said, "Guaranteed."
"So, Arthur, Darnell, did you two speak to anyone related to the Goetia family here in Pride about Stella?" Lars asked them, "
"No." Arthur replied, "But I did talk to my brother one-on-one but he doesn't know about what caused Stella to be cruel recently."
"I had spoken to one." Darnell replied, "He's an Overlord here."
"Really?" Lars said, "You spoke to a Goetia demon who's also an Overlord?"
"Yeah, but he doesn't know why Stella's like that. He hasn't been keeping up with that sorta stuff since, he's an Overlord."
"What about just recently?" Selene wondered,
"Stella has a brother named Andrealphus."
"Oh, that bitch has a brother too?!" Lars shouted,
"Yeah. The two are hosting some sort of press conference on November 1st to discuss some stuff. From the drama in the Goetia family to… the mental shutdowns."
"Wait, she knows about the mental shutdowns?!" Cattleya shouted, "Does she know who's behind it down here in Hell?!"
"As of now, nothing yet."
"Phooey."
"So, now we have until November 1st to change Stella's heart." Willow said, "We'll have to be extra careful in Stella's palace since that place is fully armed."
"Definitely." Arthur said,
Later, Blitzø was chatting with me. He sighed.
"Fine, you want to know?" He asked me, "Me and Stolas are dating."
"He had an affair?" I said, shocked,
"Well, I basically started the whole thing, so…"
"But you loved him, didn't you?"
"We're in an open relationship, which is… not a good sign."
"Oh…"
"So, you're gonna change that bitch of a wife's heart, huh?"
"Of course."
"Don't tell your friends about this conversation we had, ok? Make sure they know why when they are confronting Stella. Maybe Stella telling you why could get them to know."
"Got it."
October 12th. Darnell wasn't here with us, so we had to wait until tomorrow.
Darnell was on the phone with someone while looking at The Hazbin Hotel.
"Oh yeah, I'm with them." He said, "We are gonna change Stella's heart."
"Good…" The caller said, "All according to plan."
"Are you sure this plan is gonna work? I feel like I'm being used…"
"Used? Bullshit! It's all part of their plan to stop The Phantom Thieves and take over Hell!"
"Right, right…"
"Don't let us down, Darnell."
The caller ended the call with Darnell. Darnell sighed.
"Satan damn it…" He said,
