That wasn't part of the negotiations, that was simply small talk and had nothing to do with the actual deal they made. She lied and cheated to get him to that point, to make the deal, but not during the negotiation for the deal itself. She is a demon after all...Think of it like a contract, I do this for that. That's the only part that needs to be true, an aside claiming the sun is blue is outside the contract and outside the deal. Demoness, so think like a slimy lawyer, just saying.
Her soul would never be forfeit, his would be freed, but he'd also lose his power if the deal was broken. It isn't completely one sided, she'd lose all the power that she would have gained and her access to Earth.
No longer lying was part of the deal though, so once the pact was sealed she can no longer lie or she'll breach the contract. I think I made that pretty clear, I'm also rather uncomfortable with the spoilers in this conversation, so if you want to continue this please send me an e-mail.
Sadly I can't agree about that. If I was asked to be part of some negotiation meeting and I said while entering it something like "Hi, I'm here today on behalf of Mr A. Lets begin our negotiations.", later on I would said "I'm not lying during this meeting." and after all was said and done it would be proven that I was actually there on behalf of Mr. B and not Mr. A, I could/should be accused of contract breaching later on. Especially when in my example I could lead this conversation and not mention whom I represent as well as not mention "not lying" remark. After all whole pact was verbal (there was no written agreement, right?), so whole conversation can be seen by magic as part of contract including "not lying during negotiations" promise. Especially when later on one side thinks/believes they were tricked and when no one said earlier "Lets begin our negotiations." to separate actual contract from this "small talk". In such case I'm sure magic included in "pact" would be fair to the end. After all demon that is doing such verbal contracts for millennia should be smarter and more careful with words. ;PBut like I said it's a detail in the fictional story. Besides as you presenting "magic laws" in this world if Andrew himself regards this as "small talk" outside of actual negotiations, magic that could judge this as contract breach probably can't be triggered anyway. So actually both sides are propably faulty - she for saying too much without real need and he for not spotting/arguing her mistake. ;)
If it was me, I would propably argue to renegotiate more favorable conditions to me and punish Lilith far longer, but in the end still would stay with her. Besides it's short story, so you can't drag it.
I know It's small detail but whole negotiation was based on details - and those are important especially with demons. Besides this was oral agreement, so everything that was said counts.
