It's been a month after getting rid of the hunters. The Roan Kingdom became an empire. Crown prince Alberu became the emperor of the Roan Empire. Cale has finally achieve his slacker life (or so he thought).
"Cale... The Gods told us that the Crown...
Cale opened the door and came into Lucifer's room.
“Ah, Cale, it's you. Today really was quite the disaster, wasn't it?”
Lucifer's gaze head towards Cale who was standing in front of him.
“But despite all that happened, you should know that Levi's not normally like that. He may be a high-ranking demon, but he's quite harmless by nature. Try not to hold it against him. So what brings you here at this hour?”
Lucifer added as he asked Cale.
Cale grab the vinyl copy of the TSL soundtrack and hand it over Lucifer.

Lucifer's eyes widen in surprised.
“Wh...! Is this what I think this is?!”
Cale gaze was focused towards Lucifer, observing his reaction. This is the first time Lucifer showed this kind of expression in front of Cale.
Lucifer let out a cough and went back to his calm and serious expression as he notice that Cale was looking at him.
“Ehem, so you made a pact with Levi.”
It wasn't question. It was statement.
“Hm? How did you know Lucifer?”
Lucifer slightly flinch at Cale's question. Lucifer was not present when Levi declared that he'll be willing to enter a pact with Cale if he wins. So how did Lucifer know about that? That was what Cale was trying to indirectly say to Lucifer.
Cale wears an innocent smile as his gaze focused to Lucifer.
“Anyways, this is a payment for stepping in when Levi tried to attack me. I heard from Mammon that you would like to listen to this soundtrack. So I borrowed it from Levi.”
Cale shifted the topic. It was on purpose. It was to trick Lucifer's mind. Lucifer didn't know that Cale was aware of the spell (mentioned on chapter 7)
Lucifer's expression changed. He doesn't know what's going on inside Cale's head.
“Do you even realize what it is you've got here, what this represents?”
Lucifer asked, raising the soundtrack on his hand, and trying to completely shift the how-did-you-know topic like that wasn't mentioned in the first place.
“No, I actually don't.”
Cale replied.
That was obliviously a lie. Cale knows the history of that soundtrack. The wind elements told him when they accidentally found out from other demons the history of that soundtrack.
