"We must get back to the Demon Lord's Castle." Solomon spoke up and strode briskly towards the doorway.

"Aren't we just putting everyone there at danger?" M/C questioned, eyes flickering with nothing but worry. "We can't risk that. It's me they're after."

Solomon nodded. "Exactly. This is why we need to leave immediately. Don't worry, we will all be safer at the Castle. After all, it has a special kind of magic surrounding it. We will be safe no matter what."

Simeon stepped closer, Luke holding onto his hand tightly.

"Solomon... I have a bad feeling about this."

The sorcerer looked towards the angel. He sucked in a deep breath ever so slowly.

"I have a bad feeling about this too, Simeon. But what other choice do we have?"

We must keep M/C away from those demons for as long as we can.

"Come on, Beel. Hurry up." Belphegor huffed as he clambered up the stairs. The twins were meeting Lord Diavolo in his office after having been to the dungeons.

"I'm sorry..." The other sighed. His eyes were glued to the floor and his steps were slow. Belphegor halted.

"What's wrong?"

Beelzebub looked up. He saw Belphegor staring down at him sternly.

"Nothing is wrong, Belphie. I'm okay." The demon insisted, forcing a grin to spread across his face. Despite this, the other seemed unfazed.

"Why do you even bother, Beel? We're twins, so of course I'm going to know if something is wrong. Stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

Nothing but silence was exchanged between the two demons for a few moments. That was until a sigh tumbled from Beelzebub's lips.

He gripped onto his twins hand, their matching bracelets touching.

"I have a really, really bad feeling about how things are going to turn out, Belphie."

Belphegor nodded. His eyes flashed with an unknown emotion. "I know you do, Beel. I feel the same way. But we have no time to waste."

A tear rolled down Beelzebub's cheek. His lips trembled ever so slightly. "I just want my brothers back... Is that too much to ask?"

The sight of his twin crying caused Belphegor to feel an immense pain strum his heart. He blinked away his upcoming tears that were stinging his eyes.

Not needing to say anything for the moment, the youngest brought Beelzebub in for a hug. The elder sobbed into Belphegor's shoulder, sobs raking from his body. Belphegor allowed his brother to fall apart in his arms and reveal his vulnerable state. He held him and shared the same pain with him. He didn't wish for his brother to go through this alone.

"I... I never wanted this to happen... I just want them all back, Belphie. I want my brothers back and I want M/C to be safe."
