Astaroth: Good men died in a lie that you spun.

Demetrius: You said you could be trusted.

Astaroth: You were sure of the outcome before the first canons fired. A game!

Demetrius: YOU SAID YOU WOULD HAVE MY BACK!

Astaroth: Where am I now?

A sort of retelling of a scene from E05S01 of the BBC Versailles series (if you haven't go watch it now! Chevalier / Philippe is the best power couple in the series and historically canon!), but featuring Astaroth and his father Demetrius. They would probably have similar arguments to Philippe and Louis', especially knowing how duplicitous my vampires can be.

I think Astaroth kinda enjoys the control he has over his father by keeping him on his toes over not knowing if he can really trust him or not, while it is also true Demetrius has his own agenda.
Despite there's a lot of tension between them, Ast and Demetrius aren't really a couple in canon, but sure, I'd welcome such depictions with open arms ^^
