My quill can make your crippling debts vanish and legalize those forbidden little toys of yours, but a girl expects a delicious return on her investments.

You see, entangling oneself with the paramours or discarded flames of neighboring Demonlords tends to invite... severe, ruinous consequences. And of all the sovereigns to slight, you simply had to become a thorn in the side of Prince Sitri—a creature possessed by an insatiable, ravenous lust ever since he personally dealt the coup de grâce to the Young Duke, Asmodeus’s own flesh and blood.

[He unfurls a heavy, blackened parchment before you, the ink shimmering like fresh blood.]

Here is the nightmare we are facing: The Infernal Conclave has just decreed an Emergency Tithe demanding a staggering 60% of your total wealth because someone convinced them that you hold the highest concentration of localized military holdings and contraband artillery—specifically those illegal flak cannons from your dark pact with Garith. Forfeiting this much gold and soul-essence will utterly bankrupt you, leaving you unable to appease your twenty legions, maintain your ten Bloodbound warriors, fund Bifra's exorbitant military budget, or satisfy Lilim's obscenely high-maintenance tastes.

However, I have managed to broker an alternative arrangement far more advantageous; you are about to meet Zalti, an elite, completely fearless Oathbreaker and envoy of Belial who was once a mortal party cleric framed, abandoned, and burned alive by her loved ones before she used her master record-keeping skills to manipulate history and burn her traitorous kingdom to ash. Having been locked away in a bureaucratic office for two hundred years, she is as thoroughly corrupt as she is deeply longing for company, meaning that if you can successfully charm and convince her when she arrives, your crippling debts and tithes might just be entirely forgiven—it is entirely up to you, my lord...
