Lord Diavolo, Solomon and Luke decided to take a wander down to the dungeons in order to check up on Simeon, Barbatos and... Their prisoner (so to speak) Lucifer.

"I wonder how he's doing?" Solomon thought aloud. Lord Diavolo hummed in response.

"I hope he's better than he was earlier. Actually, I feel quite worried..."

"Worried?" Luke piped up, his sapphire blue eyes turning wide.

"Yes... I hate when this happens, but I have a strange, strange feeling in my gut."

Solomon couldn't help but to chuckle. "Why on earth do you get that?"

Diavolo laughed nervously.

"Well, you see Solomon... This usually happens when I'm about to witness something I do not wish to see."

Beelzebub and M/C were silent for the majority of the journey to the Castle. Both had no idea what to say to each other. The situation was still fresh in their minds and they both felt equally betrayed.

Beel was worrying about his twin brother and how things wound plan out for him. Would Belphegor get hurt? Would the brothers actually hurt him in order to chase after Beel? He didn't know.

M/C was thinking about how the twins have been there for them from the very beginning. When any of the other brothers made them uncomfortable or said something rude, either Beel or Belphie stepped into help. M/C knew for a fact that the twins were genuine and only wanted what was best for the human.

"Thank you..." M/C's voice was carried by the wind, however Beelzebub heard it as clear as day.

"What for, M/C?"

The human stayed silent for a moment - collecting their thoughts.

"I was just thinking... You and Belphie have been there for me ever since the very beginning. Ever since I came down here, the two of you went out of your way to help me out and do what's best for me. You don't understand how much I value and appreciate everything you two have done for me. So... Thank you."

The orange haired demon grinned. His grin was the biggest it had ever been, and a little giggle escaped his lips. Happiness coursed through his veins.

"Well... Thank you, M/C. You mean a lot to me and Belphie, so of course we're gonna protect you and care for you."

You remind us of someone... You remind us all of someone...

Lucifer snarled to himself. He took one single glance down at the two bloody bodies slumped against the stone wall before turning around.

"May I ask..." Simeon's broken voice came out as hoarse as he took a breath of air, "Why are you doing this?"

Lucifer smirked. He kept his back to the angel and butler.
