To Leliel, almost everyone was above him in the underworld. And he did well to recognize their authority. Sure, he put on a front to lower-ranked demons, but Ky was not among those. He was keen to bow to Ky’s authority, “Your secret’s safe with me. I swear. You can always count on me for discretion.”

_{A show of… strength ( be it threats or otherwise ) always managed to keep everyone in line. Sometimes, he had to go the extra mile by issuing threats, but all the same, he knew that he’d get their attention. Sure, he wasn’t the most liked, but he wasn’t the most hated either. So, that was a plus on both ends. “I’ll be sure to put that to the test. We both know how fast… things spread on earth and down below.”}
