When The Devil Adores The Angel: The Fallen

Chapter 5.2: Gloom and Bloom

Amenadiel reciprocated the gesture respectfully. "As well as on me, your majesties."

Jophiel graciously invited her sisters to take a seat, and they did so with humble gratitude.

"Pardon us," they both said as they settled into the chairs.

Ennemond, clearly delighted by the presence of the archangels, exclaimed, "If it isn't Archangels Uriel and Camael!"

Uriel responded with a warm smile, "Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ennemond."

"The pleasure is mine!" Ennemond laughed heartily.

Camael appreciated the lively atmosphere and commented, "What a lively life you have here, Mr. Ennemond."

Ennemond chuckled, humbled by their presence. "I'm just continuing my late wife's business, as well as her dream."

Uriel, always curious, inquired about the dream. "What dream?"

Ennemond explained, "Bloom Bethlehem."

Camael and Uriel exchanged knowing glances, realizing that their visit was not just coincidental but tied to a greater purpose. Uriel spoke with confidence, "It looks like our visit is not just ordinary but to witness a big phenomenon, Camael."

Camael's joy was palpable as she agreed, "God's perfect timing is truly amazing!"

Uriel made a promise, "We will help make your wife's dream come true, Mr. Ennemond."

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Ennemond sighed, "I can't express how glad I am right now."

The genuine smiles on Uriel and Camael's faces conveyed their willingness to assist in fulfilling this heartfelt dream.

As the conversation flowed, a voice interrupted, announcing the readiness of the food. Lucifer, the unexpected guest, appeared at the entrance, clearly taken aback by the presence of Uriel and Camael.

"Greetings, Light of God, and Fortitude of God!" he greeted them, a touch of surprise in his tone.

Uriel recognized him immediately and clarified to Ennemond, "Wait... that's Lucifer, Mr. Ennemond."

Uriel, in her naivety, asked a question that surprised Ennemond, "Aren't you scared knowing he's the devil?"

Ennemond's response was filled with confusion, "Devil? Does that kind of devil's name exist?"

Lucifer, clearing his throat and sensing the tension in the air, interjected, "Pardon for the intrusion of your conversation, Light of God... But there's a lot to explain about that."

Amenadiel, ever vigilant, watched the unfolding situation with alarm but remained silent.

Uriel, with a touch of concern, addressed Lucifer, "Lucifer..."

Lucifer replied, "Yes?"

Uriel, her eyes reflecting her deep emotions, continued, "How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from Jophiel? Your good intentions are really suspicious and not as clear as the crystal water of the celestial kingdom."

Lucifer sighed, sensing Uriel's frustration. "Uriel... I know you're mad at me. But let me prove that I don't have any kind of manipulation or bloody intention toward Jophiel. It's just that..."

Lucifer hesitated, unable to find the right words to express himself.

The tense atmosphere was shattered by a sudden and violent explosion that rocked the surroundings. Panic spread among the crowd as people screamed and ran for safety. The explosions continued to reverberate, causing chaos and fear.
