Kanon: Uncle Lucifer...?

Kanon interrupted him before he could even find the words to say to Mammon. The two adult demons look down at the girl who had finished her plate.

Lucifer:....

Kanon: Uncle Lucifer...I asked you a question. Why did you hurt Papa?

Mammon: Yeah Luci....Why did you hurt me?

Even though Mammon already knew most of it but he felt like Lucifer was still keeping something from him. Then again, Lucifer is his big brother. The type of person who would bottle up every dark secret he could and take it to the grave.

Lucifer: Mammon...I...

Kanon:....

He look down at the little girl who he knew will not leave her spot til her question is answered.

Lucifer: I...just wanted to protect him...

Mammon:...

Kanon: Protect Him? But you hurt him...

Lucifer hesitated to find the next words to say feeling scared that if he's not careful. Mammon will kick him out of the house and tell go back to HOL...and never return.

Mammon didn't say a word as Kanon made a small gesture for the eldest brother to continue.

Kanon: So you punished him for that...? Because whenever he does something bad like indulge in his greed? Even if he can't control it?

Lucifer:.....Yes.

Kanon: No offense Uncle Luci...but that sounds like an excuse to shift the blame onto someone and vent their hate onto another.

Lucifer flinched as Mammon sighed.

Mammon: Well that's just how Lucifer is, Kanon. The reason he acted that way is because he's a sadist...

Lucifer: I...
