Distributed papers, pens that carry the blue ink of the ballpoint pen and everyone writes the name of the one they thought was the best leader for the infernal territory. This conference and voting power was strange to the Angels, as they had nothing to do with politics in Hell and nothing would affect them except peace and the absence of conflict with the Demons. In the end, they all gave their roles to Felix who offered to count the votes, and Chan won with the majority of the votes, which even Carrie expected, despite her pain for not becoming the leader of Hell and Chaos. With this, Chan would have to introduce himself to Belzebub and Hastur to inform them of his coronation and the surrender of powers.

The Antichrist immediately traveled to Hell, bidding farewell to all and leaving them to enjoy the company of the entire group for a while longer, and hastened to inform the provisional leaders that they were already being held back by the people to choose a new King. For the presentation of the new owner of the Throne of Flames, the most important figures of Hell appeared, such as Mamon, Azazel, Asmodeus, Leviathan, Belfegor, including Carrie and her Demon friends who were very important soldiers in the recent war, and the infernal people, walkers from the burning red ground. Chan was standing in front of the throne with Belzebub on his right and Carrie on his left who looked at the ground thoughtfully, but his thoughts were interrupted with music and with Hastur who walked towards the trident and the fire sword that once belonged to the former angel Lucifer. The body of the future Lord of Hell trembled under so much pressure and knelt as Hastur approached to proceed to the ceremony, but Hastur had something to do before, which would change everything.

"We can't start before I tell the truth." Hastur says out loud, leaving everyone there confused, "Carrie, Princess of Hell, I think I have a surprise for you."

Carrie arches her eyebrow looking at Hastur with no idea what was going on, "A surprise? What kind of surprise could you give me?"

"Olivier, from the third sphere where the ex-principates, archangels and angels belong, died." Hastur gives the news to Carrie leaving her confused when she neither knew Olivier nor understood how this was a surprise.

"Okay, so? How is that a surprise?" Carrie still didn't understand anything and looked at Chan who was shrugging his shoulders and Belzebub sighed, almost guessing what would come next.

"I knew Lucifer would kill your mother for being against the fight and the Antichrist." The duke admits leaving everyone shocked and Carrie remembers again the worst moments of her life. Hastur seeing that he was taking too long, goes straight to the main point,"Olivier died so that she could live."

"What? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say. My mother's dead, Lucifer himself told me he killed her." Carrie refuses to let them play with her mother's subject one more time. Hastur, knowing the princess wouldn't believe it, sighed and decided to explain.

"I made Olivier and Eve change their appearance. Lucifer killed Olivier thinking he was Eve." Hastur admits what he did, leaving everyone even more shocked and the people commented among themselves on the situation, "Your mother has been living like Olivier, but now that she can finally come back as herself, she can take the throne." The duke has just spoken and snapped his fingers, a moment of silence set in for minutes until the echo of the sole of some shoes was heard in the room. Felix looked at his girlfriend trying to figure out if she was okay, but Carrie looked at Hastur waiting for him to give her more answers, but it wasn't necessary.

Silence is broken with the sweet tone of a female voice at the door of the room, "My dearest baby," With a smile from ear to ear on her face, but with tears flowing down her cheeks, Eve opens her arms looking at Carrie who had no reaction, but shakes her head and runs to her mother's arms hugging her tightly., "I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I missed you so much."

"By norms, since Lucifer's wife is alive, she is the one who rises to the throne. I'm glad you're back, Eve." Belzebub says with a smile, but looks at Hastur as if they are going to have a serious conversation at the end because he has hidden such information, "The ceremony is canceled until we discuss who will rise to the throne."

Everybody was getting ready to leave but Chan shakes his head and screams, "Stop! There's no need to take any more time to pick someone. You need someone more responsible to govern, and it is more than obvious that that person is Eve. I'm sure everyone here agrees with me. So, please, Eve accept the throne."

Eve shows concern and looks at Carrie who simply nodded her head and smiles, "I accept to rule the people of hell from now on. Thank you, Chan."

Carrie leaves her mother and goes away, Hastur climbs to the place where Carrie was, left side, while Belzebub continues on the right side. Chan goes out of there going near his friends and Carrie joined them. The ceremony then continued as soon as Eve positioned herself in front of the throne, Carreau, who belonged to the second sphere of the demons which, one day, were virtues, dominions or powers, was selected to deliver the throne and the sword to Eve. Eve, accepting both and finally sitting on the throne with Belzebub on his right side and Hastur on the left side, was the new Leader of Hell. The people celebrated as well as the six leaders of hell, who were now seven with Eve in place of Lucifer. At the end of the day, the group began to leave because of fatigue and bid farewell to Carrie, Felix, and the new Leader of Hell. Carrie wanted to enjoy her time with her mother so she was going to stay a few weeks with her in Hell, and Felix wanted to be the last to say goodbye to her, but Eve smiled and invited Felix to stay with them for a while until Carrie returned to earth with her other friends. The poor blond was embarrassed as well as his girlfriend but eventually accepted.

Back on earth, Jisung and Changbin went to Yejun and Hyunjin, they had arranged a trip to the carnival since it was the last days of summer. Minho and Elizabeth went home together but in the meantime they separated as Elizabeth was going to Jeongin's house to finally have the date they had been afraid of for months but it was almost impossible to have one in the midst of so much confusion. So as not to be alone, he decided to go to the fair where he met his demon friends with the angels. After walking in almost everything and eating popcorn and cotton candy, they found Seungmin who, according to the owner of the bank, had never been there for hours trying to win a giant stuffed animal. On the other side of town, Chan was at his sister's house tidying up and getting ready to go home, with everything packed and inside the suitcase, the demon snaps his fingers going to his house. Throwing things to the ground, the demon lets his body fall on the couch, with a smile on his face. Grabbing the remote control of the television, the boy prepared to watch an episode of his favourite series until someone rings the bell, Chan, a stranger, gets up and walks to the door and opens it. The smile on his face turns into a shocked look, his eyes didn't believe what they saw.

"Chan, I'm sorry."
