"-Where have you been for so long?" a
disgruntled voice came from nearby.

I didn't know what to say, because any attempt to lie to him could end very badly for me, so before I could think of anything that might give away that I knew anything about Y/n, I blurted out

"-I beg your pardon, my Lord. I only went to Y/n's to talk to her for a while, but then we got carried away and went hunting. I must have kept you waiting. I deeply apologize again."
And bowed even lower.

"-So that's how it is."

Suddenly, I felt cold inside, seeing the gloom on his face.

"-And what did you talk about? Did she tell you anything interesting, no?" he returned his gaze to me, raising his eyebrows in question.

In a split second, I calmed down the slightest bit of worry and answered

"-She showed me her new hairpins, then got hungry so we went hunting, that's all."

Then the look on his face lightened
"-I see. Come closer to the table and hold this book open."

I breathed out a sigh of relief, realizing that it seemed that Lord didn't read my mind, so didn't realize what Y/n had actually told me.

Akaza silently served Muzan what he needed, and continued to stand aloofly next to him, sometimes watching his movements.

After a few minutes, Akaza suddenly said
"-Muzan-sama, but why did you ask that? Did something unusual happen?"

Muzan said into the silence of the Infinite Castle without changing his tone
"-I caught Y/n and Douma."

Akaza decided to play along so as not to arouse suspicion, so he spoke in a tone of surprise and distraction, widening his eyes and opening his mouth to look into Muzan's eyes

"-Lord, did they..."

He quickly interrupted Akaza without looking up

"-They were kissing. Sucking."

Akaza looked a little relieved. Then Muzan added
"-And I'd hate to think they've already done what you think they've done, Akaza."

Akaza quickly replied
"-My Lord, neither would I."

Muzan lifted one tube to another, pouring blue liquid
"-I can forgive Douma a lot of things, but despite having whole temple of humans being able to have whatever relationship with them he wants, still trying to take his lewd ways on my daughter, no way."

For a while longer, they studied their books and test tubes in silence, not breaking the silence. Muzan didn't seem to want to talk about it, and Akaza didn't dare to start talking first, so for a while the only sounds in the Infinite Castle were the sounds of glass vessels and the rustling of books.
Then suddenly Akaza remembered that he wanted to help Y/n, so said

"-What have you decided about Douma-dono?"he said in a very polite tone, but as distantly as possible to hide his rapid heartbeat.

Akaza was worried that he had taken the unprecedented liberty of speaking to him first.
But to Akaza's surprise, Muzan was so in his work that he didn't pay attention to anything, so his voice came out

"-I don't know yet. Why do you ask? It seems like you've always barely tolerated Douma, why are you worried about him now?" he turned his gaze to the Upper Moon Three.

Akaza felt his heart pounding, warming his body.
But he quickly composed himself, and said in his usual tone
"-Muzan-sama. I don't get along well with Douma-dono, but I still don't want any of the Upper Moons to get treated unfairly."

Suddenly, Muzan's face changed dramatically, sending shivers down Akaza's spine. Then, abruptly, in the silence of the Infinite Castle, voice echoed

"-So you, Upper Moon Three, think you're allowed to decide if I'm going to treat someone unfairly? You think you're allowed to even think about that in your head?"

Akaza suddenly felt a sharp burning pain inside him, causing him to fall to his knees, coughing.

Small red blotches suddenly began to appear on the floor where Akaza was sitting.

"-Know your place, Upper Moon Three, or I'll make you remember it." Muzan finished, turning his gaze back to what he was doing.

Akaza was sitting in his knees, staring straight at the wooden floor, unable to say a word because of the pain inside him.

And after a few minutes of silence, he heard a voice with a subtle note of irritation
"-Go already."

Akaza stood up quickly, and was about to look at Nakime, when he added not loud

"-I was just trying to say that despite all these things you already said, he also he spends that lot of his time with Y/n, knowing that he could lose his head if you suspect something is wrong. So despite how I don't want to admit it, I guess he truly... loves Y/n. I apologize if I'm forgetting my place by saying this. "

Before Muzan could turn to Akaza, the Biva sounded and Upper Moon Three disappeared.

In fact, Muzan was very angry because Akaza had interrupted him just like that, but at the same time, he was thinking about his words.

But what if it is indeed like what Akaza said?
What if Douma...

"-...and the day after tomorrow you will have meeting of your followers." a voice said.

"-Mhm, alright, I got it." said Douma in response, propping his chin on his elbow as he sat on the large silk blue cushions, smiling at the man and then looking away.

Suddenly, another voice was heard in the large room

"-Douma-sama"

He quickly turned to the source of the voice, smiling

"-What, Ayumi?"

"-Douma-sama, you've been looking a little upset and worried for the past three days. Is something wrong?"
The girl's voice rang out.

"-Really? Do I really look like that?" Douma smiled again and looked into the girl's eyes.
She blushed and looked away, and was about to say something, but then Douma continued, getting up and approaching the girl

"-I'm sorry if I made you worry, I'm totally alright, Ayumi. Go take care of your business, and don't worry, mhm?" he said, walking close to her, placing him cold hands on her forearms, and giving her a creepy smile in her eyes

"-Al...alright, Lord Founder!" she said, and bowed, hurriedly leaving the room.

Douma sat down again on some blue silk pillows and exhaled. Suddenly he felt shivers down his spine, hearing a familiar deep voice inside his head
"-Come to me, I have something to talk to you about."

After some time, Douma ended his businesses in temple for that day, and went into his room. Douma plopped down on the bed, covering his face with his hands and exhaling heavily.

"-Muzan-sama, why, why do you think so bad of me? Why can't you realise that I love Y/n and only want the best for her?"

After a moment, he removed his hands from his face, resting them on his chest, and looking out the open window, through which the night forest air was coming in. Then he turned his gaze to the sky and, to his surprise, saw
"-Storm clouds?"

Indeed, black clouds, which had not been there for so long, were moving through the forest above the temple.
Then thunder came out of nowhere, and thoughts all about Y/n pierced through Douma. He felt how he misses Y/n. How he longes her. How he loves her.
Suddenly Upper Moon Two was overwhelmed by a strange feeling inside. It was so unbearable that he abruptly decided to do something. He got out of bed and immediately called out to Nakime.

Douma decided to go somewhere else before going to talk to Muzan.
