Vyers took a small booklet from his pocket and thumbed through the pages. He had knowledge of the many languages spoken in the multiverse, but he was very neglectful about learning Cat. And on top of that, the native speakers weren't much help in teaching others.

Jennifer's eyes darted around the room as more and more voices filled the emptiness; two forms appearing before her. Neither of which were whom they were looking for.
"The overlord... takes naps?"
Her expression was that of astound, her eyelashes fluttering as she heard the words.
"Well, he is just a kid, doods."
"A.. A kid?! The overlord I've heard so much about on Earth.. is.. a Child?!"

Vyers bowed slightly to Emily, "You must pardon moi for making a mess after you've labored, mademoiselle, but sacrifices must be made for dramatic effect."
Vyers nodded, "Indeed, Laharl is but a boy among demons. Would it not be more sensible for a mature man such as myself to take the throne? However, it is more interesting to know what could the people of Earth know about Laharl, or the Netherworld for that matter. I'd be deeply offended if my legend was confused with the misadventures of Laharl."

"Oh dear, I'm afraid I can't let you take the throne, Lord Vyers. I believe you would agree that it would be poor taste not to deal with the contenders for it directly. Quite frankly, making a dramatic appearance without the owner of the place present is quite rude. He should have at least seen the effort you put into it."
Her bats fluttered around her, putting her cleaning things neatly to the side behind her, removing the maid hat and apron in the process.
"But I digress..."
Her bats returned to her side and formed another layer of her gown. Her arms were folded at the intruders.
"Since I can not say that you're guests, and Lord Vyers has spoken about taking the throne, I am going to have to ask you to politely leave until you have made a proper appointment with his Highness. If you have any issues other than dueling with him, I will notify him once he wakes up."

"Fugi.... fugi..." Kitty sighed. Damn this helkitty body! She strode up to Vyers and sprang up to his shoulder, took the translation book and thumbed through it.
A few seconds later, Vyers had the book back into his hand. Kitty leaned over and pointed to a specific phrase:
"We are fugitives hiding from an evil overlord. Please protect us, for the love of god."

Vyer's serene smile left him as a likely candidate popped into his mind. He whispered, "Could he really have broken the seal?" He regained his composure as he handed the book to the Hell Kitty, "Keep it for later my furry little friend. You can count on moi for protection from this evil overlord. Protecting the innocent and taking the throne from two overlords, doing well by dooing good. Aaahahahahaha!"
But secretly, Vyers was concerned. If the one he suspected had truly returned, then all that he hoped for could be turned to ash. However, if the overlord he feared could be defeated, that just may produce the miracle he longed for.

"Another Overlord? This... this is troublesome" Emily replied. "I have no idea what we are faced with."
Emily was in no position to make decisions concerning the throne. She was, however, in position to attack a threat which was close to home, particularly since these people were seeking sanctuary.
... Or was it a trap?
"... The safest place for you would likely be in the dungeon. They keep people in, but they also keep people out. Until I can get a word from His Highness, I think that is where I will put you all."
Forming a glowing ball of fire in her hand, her face turned grim and her bats started fluttering around her.
"Please come willingly... I would hate to make a mess I will have to clean up later..."

It was then that Kitty decided that the grey prinny they encountered earlier would be second. A much bigger threat was at hand.
What Vyers would do in response to this was up to him. Both he and Emily seemed formidable opponents. Should his charm work and they'd stay put, all the better. If not, there were more tricks up Kitty's, er, sleeve. Besides, best to get on the head maid's good side. She knew that all too well by working with Frost and Baal.
Kitty tucked the dictionary into her collar and scrambled back to sit on Jennifer's shoulder.

Vyers nodded, "Indeed, the dungeon would be well suited for protective custody."
He slid close to Emily and whispered, "Tell the older vassals, those who personally served the last overlord, that they may want to participate in guarding these people. Tell them, 'Old business has returned.' They'll know the meaning."

Emily paused to hear what Lord Vyers had said, nodding, she put her fire down and motioned the others to follow her. It did not surprise her that demon nobility would have worked with the Overlord in the past, but she wondered how close Vyers was to everyone.
The stairs were long, but she had actually cleaned the dungeons as her first task. She thought to herself how to make them somewhat comfortable until things settled down... or started to heat up. She picked the cleanest one with a curtain around the latrine for at least a little privacy. She nodded to the Dragon who kept the dungeons guarded and had him unlock the cell.
"I will inform everyone of the situation... I will also have some leftovers from lunch sent down to you, and some water. Please remain as calm as possible. We may need you to fight, depending on the circumstances."
