History
She at first awaited for her son Jonah to return to the house, along with her husband Absalom. She told Absalom that a demon appeared right infront of her eyes and that she sold her soul in order to find the whereabouts of Jonah in return. However, both Piety and Absalom suspected that one day their son would overthrow them. After Jonah found his way home, Piety greeted him for coming back, and gave him a warm hug. However, as she tried to be kind to him, he rebuffed her and denied the fact that she loves him, out of the fact he lusts the throne and it's power. Later, Piety in secret from her own kingdom starts killing off the fays and cutting their wings in order to create dark beasts which will serve her, as part of the bargain she had to make with the demon. She later tried to kill Vigenette Stonemoss. However, Rycroft rushes to save her and rescues her from the death trap. Then, Rycroft almost gets killed by the dark beasts, but Vigenette stabs Piety in the heart, thus sending her and all of her beasts to hell
