The night had come, and the castle was teeming with visitors hailing from every corner of hell. And some of these welcome guests had opted to gossip amongst themselves about the family issues that had come up. This didn't calm the pacing silverette, in fact it made her frantic. Her heart was beating a million times a minute. Encouraging her already clammy hands to start fidgeting with anything within unnoticeable reach.

"Madame Desteria? Are you alright?" A maid by the name of Fiona asked, the demoness was in charge of dressing Sky but her pacing was making that task nearly impossible.

"Yeah! Perfect. I feel perfectly fine, I'm okay. Why wouldn't you think I'm okay, I'm okay, okay!" She said, trying to convince herself of it.

"Miss Desteria, please stand still so I can get the dress on, it damn near impossible to lace a corset on a moving being." The maid stated, Sky looked at her and gave her a brief nod.

"Speaking of damn near impossible, do you happen to know where Zeldris is? I need to have a word with him before the ceremony." Sky asked, Fiona gave her a light nod of denial.

"Damn, where is he?"

...

Zeldris paraded down the hall, he was no longer wearing his usual attire instead he wore a black suit accompanied by a red tie. He gave a nod to the guards, signalling for them to let him through as he exited the castle. He was determined to do the wrong thing for the right reasons and at this point, nothing but divine intervention could stop him.

"Where are you off to, brother?" A voice rang through the unsettling night. Zeldris growled at the annoying voice, and it didn't take much of his focus to ignore it's source.

"Why so cold? I'm just trying to help you, brother." Estarossa commented, Zeldris placed a finger over his lips signaling to his brother to be silent. He quickly motions to the demons of the council, pulling them into a bow before letting them pass and continuing on their journey.

Throughout the entirety of the trip, Estarossa acted like a bored and curious child, constantly asking where they were going. Eventually, it took more then just a small amount of effort from Zeldris to block him out. Eventually pushing him to just give in and hurriedly pull him in to try and be at least a bit secretive.

"I'm going to let Meliodas in... " He stated. Estarossa furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"Why would you do that?" He asked, Zeldris scowled as he turned and headed deeper into the woods. Estarossa having to remember to follow him through his confusion.

"Because I can't let Adrammelech win... That bastard is using Sky to get to the throne and the only person who can possibly stop him is our brother and his puny, scum-like friends." He stated, and although his ego fought to deny it, he knew it was true.

There were only three people stronger than Adrien, the Demon King, Sky and Meliodas. It was also an advantage to them, as Meliodas was already hated by their realm for his betrayal so this possibly couldn't backfire on them.
