Changbin let out a frustrated groan when the book of vampires continued to show him the profiles of only vampires. "That is not what I want, you stupid book", he yelled, suppressing the need to punch something. He has been trying for hours to somehow unlock the artifact's true potential but nothing was working. No matter how hard he tried the book would continue to show him only vampire profiles.
"Hyung, please calm down. Getting angry won't make it do what you want", Jisung chimed in. The blue-haired warlock had been with Changbin for the past few hours, trying to somehow help his friend even though the pages of the book were blank for him. He couldn't see the profiles that could be projected into the air nor could he read the names, which showed up on the pages. For him the book just magically skipped through his own pages when Changbin said a name.
The warlock had basically no clue why he was even here since the vampire only told him that he needed his help. Changbin did explain to his friends that he needed to find Kim Eve, Kim Athea and Hwang Minji and therefore needed to unlock an old vampire artifact but he did that very quickly without much detail. Luckily, thanks to Hyunjin, Jeongin, Jisung and Chan they found out who Kim Eve, Kim Athea and Hwang Minji were just by talking a bit.
Kim Eve was Byungho's mother, Kim Athea was the mother of Seungmin's and Byungho's half brother Kim Minseok aka Woosu and Hwang Minji was Hyunjin's mother and Jeongin's aunt. After getting that information NCT already send some people out to get them to come to the headquarter but they haven't returned yet as far as Jisung and Changbin knew. The two had been staying in the little meeting room with the book of vampires for hours now.
The little list, which was predicted by Jisung without him knowing should stay a secret between Changbin and Taeil since they wanted to avoid any kind of panic but the vampire prince suspected that the guardian had told the people, who needed to know it for rather obvious reasons. After all nobody would randomly start searching for three different person without a solid reason. The "official" explanation for this search was rather simple because Taeil had told the members of Stray Kids that they just needed to get those three persons to the headquarter because there was a possibility they could be targeted by the hunters. Technically this wasn't a lie but it wasn't the whole truth either.
Taeil and Changbin had one very important agreement though, which was not telling the rest of the members of Stray Kids of this possible death list to prevent them from panicking. Especially Minho shouldn't be told this because it could cause extreme paranoia and would probably affect everyone in his surroundings negatively, which was an reasonable argument.
Changbin let out a frustrated huff and stopped the nervous pacing he had fallen into after getting frustrated with the book of vampires. Jisung was right getting angry and irritated didn't help him at all. He looked out of the window where you could see the night sky. The stars lit up the dark night and helped Changbin clear his mind. A part of the vampire wished Seungmin was here since the redhead could read the book of vampires and always seemed to find a solution to everything.
"Everything okay, hyung?", Jisung asked worriedly. Changbin heard the other approaching and then felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He was glad he wasn't alone here because he would go nuts otherwise. Jisung was the only non-vampire person, who knew of the book of vampires for a valid reason. After all, the warlock was technically (and in Changbin's mind practically) part of the Seo family.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I just want to figure out how to use the full potential of the book as fast as possible, so we can get information on every hunter we come across and hopefully this Zendala too", Changbin answered, still looking up to the stars. Taeil had reminded him of this ability he should have according to his mother. It sounded stupid but it was true. Even under the influence of the Red Glow Changbin's head had been occupied with actively trying to block everything bad out, it never occurred to him to try unlocking the book of vampires.
"Maybe we should call it a day", Jisung spoke up beside Changbin, ripping the vampire out of his thoughts. He looked over to his blue haired friend, finally realizing that Jisung was tired. Maybe even exhausted.
"You seem tired hyung. And we can get nothing done when we are both exhausted as hell", the blue-haired warlock reasoned, looking over the Changbin with a light smile tugging at his lips. As tempting the thought of sleep sounded Changbin shook his head lightly. He couldn't sleep just yet but that shouldn't stop Jisung.
"I wouldn't be able to sleep but I'm not forcing you to stay if you want to go to our room", Changbin said, looking at the warlock once more. Jisung looked out the window, seemingly processing Changbin's suggestion, which made the vampire realize once again, that the warlock really could use some sleep and time with his boyfriend
"Go and cuddle up to Minho-hyung", the vampire added teasingly in hopes of getting the warlock to go. Instead Jisung lightly punched his shoulder, making the black-haired male laugh lightly. There was a short silence between the two young males before Jisung spoke up again.
"I'm glad that you are yourself again", the warlock admitted, which caused Changbin to look at him in surprise. This sounded so oddly familiar. Who had said that to him before?
Jisung smiled a bit when he saw his hyung's surprise written all over his face. "Maybe give us an explanation to that red glow in your eyes, which somehow must be linked to your emotions, soon, alright?", the warlock asked. The vampire scratched his nose while nodding as an answer. He forgot that his friends had no clue what a Red Glow was and how it affected a royal vampire but right now his priority was to get Jisung to have some sleep.
"So will you go to bed now?", Changbin questioned, looking out of the window again. Jisung's sudden yawn was the perfect answer to his question. "Go to bed and your boyfriend", the vampire chuckled, more or less repeating what he had already said.
"I don't want to leave you alone though, so you have to go with me", the warlock replied cheekily. Changbin shook his head with a little smile and turned his gaze to Jisung again. "I need to try some more things with the book. I will come in an hour. Promised", he answered and stuck out his pinky. The warlock chuckled lightly before he hooked his pinky around Changbin's.
"You better keep the pinky promise or karma will get you", Jisung stated with a little grin on his face. Changbin just huffed and lightly rolled his eyes. Sometimes Jisung was really childish.
"I know and now go. Minho-hyung is probably waiting for you", Changbin said and ushered Jisung out of the room, even though the warlock wanted to protest against the last part of what the vampire had said.
When the door was closed and Changbin was alone in the room; he turned to the book of vampires again but somehow his mind couldn't focus on the task at hand. Instead his thoughts were occupied with the question why "I'm glad you are yourself again" sounded so familiar to him. Who had said that to him before?
He frowned in concentration while trying to remember until it hit him and he felt like the stupidest person on the entire planet. Jae had said something similar after Changbin had been functioning on his Red Glow for a whole week.
"I'm so stupid. How could I forget that?", the vampire asked himself quietly while facepalming. He had talked to Sungjin, Dowoon, Younghyun and Jae just yesterday evening. He really shouldn't have forgotten that so quickly.
Slowly a bit of guilt began to eat away at the vampire's consciousness because he remembered how tiered his hyungs had seemed. The event from yesterday hadn't only taken a toll on him but every other vampire, including Jae, Dowoon and Younghyun.
Changbin lightly bit his lip when his brain slowly began to connect some dots he hadn't even thought about before his realization. Technically he was the vampire king but he hadn't done anything for his people since the death of his parents. So who had kept the vampires at bay? Who kept them from taking revenge on the hunters immediately?
If Changbin was correct it was the doing of Day6 and probably Changkyun too. They were the vampires closest to him and the ones who took care of him as friends but also as close confidants of the royal family.
The vampire leaned on the table for support. How could he have been so blind? His hyungs took up so much work for him without saying one word and what did he do? Nothing. He let himself function on his Red Glow and behaved distant in order to sort his thoughts. He should have helped his hyungs or at least talked to them.
"Oh what a great king I will be", Changbin thought to himself humorlessly. He looked at the book of vampires, which still laid opened on the table. The pages were filled with thousands of names, which belonged to vampires all over the world and from every century since the creation of the first vampire. With a huff Changbin closed the book. He would have to find a way to unlock it when he had a clear mind again.
He picked up the rather thick artifact and held it close to his chest almost automatically. His grip on the book tightened, letting his knuckles turn white. Why couldn't the book just do what he wanted? It would help so many people and maybe even prevent them from getting hurt, captured or killed.
With a sigh Changbin brought his mind back to his hyungs and released the book from his iron grip. Should he check on Jae, Dowoon, Younghyun and Sungjin now? No, no it was too late for that. They should already be sleeping by now and the last thing Changbin wanted was disturb them.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which startled the vampire. He automatically turned his attention turn towards the door, mentally asking who was still up so late. Maybe it was one of his friends? The vampire shook his head.
"Come in", he called out to whoever had knocked. The door was opened and Hyunjin poked his head into the room. When the siren's eyes met Changbin's dark orbs a little smile became visible on his face.
"Good evening", the siren greeted with a little wave. Changbin blinked in confusion and asked himself why the siren was still here. Should he be home with Jeongin?
"Why are you still here, Hyunjin?", the vampire voiced his thoughts but then remembered that Hyunjin's mother was on the list of Jisung. She should have been brought here by the NCT members. By all gods his question was just stupid but Hyunjin didn't seem to mind.
"Well, my mother was brought here not so long ago by Kun, Xiaojun, Doyoung and Jeno, so my family officially stays at the NCT headquarter now", Hyunjin explained with a little, cute smile on his lips. A part of Changbin was glad, that the siren took his stupid question so well but the other asked if that meant Kim Eve and Kim Athea were also here.
"What about Kim Eve and Kim Athea?", the vampire questioned, hoping the siren knew the answer. Instead Hyunjin's smiled dropped from his face and it scared Changbin but he didn't want to show it.
"Well, they couldn't really find the mansion Jisung described ... and nobody was able to reach Seungmin and Byungho. The members of Day6 also tired reaching out to them since Seungmin's older brother is part of their group and as far as they know also at home but no avail", the siren mumbled the last part. His gaze had dropped onto the ground and Changbin could sense Hyunjin's worry for their friends.
Subconsciously Changbin held the book of vampires a bit closer to his chest. He tried to tell himself that Seungmin, Byungho and Wonpil were fine and probably just busy doing the gods know what. Besides Seungmin and Wonpil were demons and strong magic users; they could take care of themselves.
"It's fine. They are fine. I'm sure of that", the vampire said out loud, looking up to meet Hyunjin's eyes, which showed the taller's concern and a bit of fear. For some odd reason a part of Changbin wanted to tell Hyunjin that especially Seungmin and Wonpil would be fine because of their demonic powers, even though he knew it was not his secret to tell. The vampire lightly shook his head to get those thoughts away.
"They are strong and so is their family. I'm certain nothing bad happened to them. They are probably just experimenting with some spells or something similar. I'm sure Seungmin will tell us what's up first thing tomorrow morning", Changbin said, trying to reassure not only Hyunjin that their friends were fine but also himself. The siren seemed a bit comforted by the older's words even though he still seemed worried.
For the sake of not worrying too much Changbin tried to think of a topic change but the only thing that came to his mind was the question of why Hyunjin was here and not sleeping or at least with his mother and Jeongin. It was the most ridiculous topic change but it would have to work.
"So, I'm still asking myself why you are here, Hyunjin? Shouldn't you sleep or be with your mother?", Changbin asked, hoping his topic change didn't sound too forced. Hyunjin lightly chuckled, which oddly made Changbin feel a bit better instantly.
"I couldn't really sleep, so while wandering through the corridors I came across Jisung, who said you were still working on something before he went to his room. I figured I could accompany you and of course get you to sleep in around an hour", Hyunjin answered while his lips curled up into a little smile again. Changbin felt a nice warmth fill up his chest and a smile tugging at his lips. It was nice that Hyunjin thought about him but there was nothing Changbin could work on anymore.
"I just wanted to head out but you can still accompany me if you want", the vampire replied while mirroring the siren's smile. He didn't know why but he also reached out a hand for the other to hold. Hyunjin's smile widen a tiny bit and took the vampire's hand without thinking much about it.
The two exited the room and walked down the empty corridors. Neither had a plan where they were going because Hyunjin didn't want to sleep yet, meaning their assigned rooms weren't the goal and Changbin was generally unsure what he should do now. Sure he could try to find his vampire hyungs to talk to them about his realization but he had already scratched that idea out of his head because didn't want to disturb them at this late hour.
After a while of walking around aimlessly Hyunjin tugged at Changbin's hand, taking the lead. They didn't talk but currently it wasn't needed. The siren lead Changbin to one of the lower floors of the headquarter, probably the one underneath the ground floor but Changbin wasn't sure until he saw the little sign with "basement floor 1" written onto it. The vampire had never been on this floor before since he was told down here were just special training halls, which usually weren't used very often.
The corridor they entered was very broad with five doors being visible. Two on the left and the right and one at the end of the corridor. Hyunjin seemed to have a very specific hall in mind since he walked directly to the door on the right end of the corridor. He opened the door without hesitation and revealed a grotto-like room to the vampire.
Beautiful dark blue light was illuminating the room, making it seem like they were in a real grotto at nighttime. The deep pool of water was still and reflected the high ceiling as well as the blue light, letting the room seem magical.
"Woah, this is just beautiful", Changbin said in amazement while looking around a bit. The walls were covered with dark stone, that seemed so natural you almost forgot the plain walls of the corridors in the building.
"I know right?", Hyunjin agreed with a wide smile on his lips and pulled the vampire deeper into the room. The door fell close behind them and completed the feeling of being in a real grotto.
"How did you know this place exists?", Changbin asked looking at Hyunjin, which in retrospect maybe wasn't the greatest idea because for one moment the vampire forgot how breathing worked.
Hyunjin just stood beside him with the dark blue light illuminating his facial features in the most breathtaking way you could imagine. His dark orbs reflected the clear water, letting them seem almost blue. The siren's lips moved while he was talking but Changbin couldn't understand the word. He was too caught up with looking at Hyunjin's eyes, which shimmer beautifully. When the siren turned his head towards Changbin, letting his eyes meet the ones of the vampire, the shorter male felt his cheeks heat up.
"Hyung? Did you listen to me or did you space out?", the siren lightly laughed after noticing that the vampire was somewhere else with his thoughts. Changbin shook his head to get back to reality.
"I spaced out, sorry", the vampire apologized, avoiding eye contact with the siren. It was purely so he wouldn't be distracted again, not because his cheeks burned like he had been in the sun for too long.
"I will repeat myself then: Mark-hyung showed me this place when he trained some siren-related stuff", the siren repeated what he had previously said. Changbin nodded showing that he had heard it now.
The vampire looked around again, in hopes of getting the blush on his cheeks under control. He let himself enjoy the calm atmosphere in this room and how it took you away from the stressful life in a city. The dripping of water filled the vampire's ears and let him close his eyes for a short minute. He still held Hyunjin's warm hand, which was a strong contrast to the rather cool grotto. Changbin noticed how his thought slowly went back to moment where Hyunjin looked just eternal. He couldn't decide if that was good or not since wouldn't it be bad to develop a crush on one of your closest friends?
Thinking - or better asking himself - this made him come across another thought. If there was the possibility of him developing a crush on Hyunjin, what did he feel for Seungmin? After all he really liked to be around Seungmin and had he feeling to being able to trust the redhead with everything while also being easily worried about him.
Changbin shook his head to hopefully get those thoughts away. He shouldn't be thinking about something like that. The supernatural world was at war with the humans for the gods' sake! He should think about strategies and not about his feelings.
"Hyung are you okay?", he heard Hyunjin ask worriedly, which made him open his eyes again. He wanted to answer with "Yes, I am" but wouldn't that be a lie? After everything that happened in the past months was anyone truly okay?
Changbin didn't answer nor really looked at the siren, which lead Hyunjin to just let go of the vampire's hand, so he could wrap his arms around the shorter male. The vampire lightly bit his lips when he felt his eyes getting glossy. He had to keep himself together.
"I'm right here if you need me. I hope you know that, hyung", Hyunjin mumbled while letting his head rest on Changbin's shoulder. The vampire took a shaky breath and allowed himself to lean onto the siren for a bit while being careful of hurting the other with the book that was now between them. There was no way of expressing how glad Changbin was for Hyunjin to be there for him.
"Yeah I know and I can't express how thankful I'm for that", Changbin replied quietly, burying his face in the siren's shoulder.
————————————
Seungmin hated destiny, hated fate or whatever it was that decided to let Eve perish. The young redhead was attached to Byungho's side like a koala and he wouldn't let go unless it was absolutely necessary. The older's eyes were lifeless and didn't seem like he wanted to move at all.
Never in his entire seventeen years of living had Seungmin seen Byungho this broken and sad. The older male just seemed dead inside and lifeless. It was simply heartbreaking. But not only Byungho mourned his mother's death. To Seungmin and Wonpil, Eve was more of a mother to them than Lilith. She encouraged them, supported them, dried their tears if they had none else to turn to and always tried to hold their broken family together. Now everything seemed to be in pieces.
Byungho was brought to Seungmin yesterday by their father, which had been a big surprise for the young demon but he didn't ask questions when he had seen Byungho's state. Their father had told Seungmin briefly about Eve's passing before he left the two brothers alone. Seungmin had called Wonpil, Woosu and Samuel in a panic and had been kind of amazed how fast his three brothers had stormed into his room where they found a crying Byungho and a sobbing Seungmin.
The five brothers ended up sleeping in Seungmin's room, not leaving each other's sides. Woosu being a happy pill along with Samuel had even managed to lift the mood a little before they all had fallen asleep.
Right now the five brothers were seated in the living room of the mansion, where their father had called in a morning family meeting. For the first time in forever Seungmin, Wonpil and Woosu had openly rebelled against their mothers because they would stay with Byungho no matter. They didn't care that Lilith didn't want Wonpil and Seungmin near Byungho and that Woosu was supposed to stay away from his two demon brothers.
"Kim Minseok come over here this instant", Athea almost yelled at her son, who didn't budge to move from his spot beside Wonpil. He stared his mother down, who stood in front of him almost fuming with anger.
"I won't because there is no point in that, mother", the warlock with the white hair replied sharply. Athea's face got red with rage but before she could say anything Lucifer stood up from the armchair he had been silently sitting in for the past ten minutes. He had been the first one in the mansion's main living room, where the family meeting was held, but he hadn't uttered a word until now.
"Enough of this, Athea. Let him be. He is old enough to make his own decisions", Lucifer spoke up, looking at the female warlock. Athea shut her mouth and stayed silent, which earned her an amused smirk from Lilith. The female warlock silently took a seat in an armchair near the fire place while still looking irritated.
Seungmin couldn't help but glare at his mother for a short second before he turned his whole attention to his father. Lucifer situated himself in front of the fireplace. It highlighted his horns and made his dark eyes glow a bit more but he didn't look mighty or intimidating, no, he looked defeated and sad. It let something close to sympathy stir in Seungmin's chest because he knew that his father may be the devil but he couldn't hide his emotions like a demon. After all he had been an angel once.
"All of you more or less know what happened to Eve. To clarify this for everyone: Eve is dead. She was killed by her fellow angels for crimes she didn't commit", Lucifer began in a calm tone, turning the ring on his right ring finger. It was his wedding ring, whose counterpart was now worn by Byungho. Yesterday Seungmin had already noticed the ring on Byungho's pinky but now it was almost smacked into his face that Eve must have given it to his older half brother shortly before she died.
"I am assuming the angels will go on a little hunt somewhere in the future, so I am warning all of you for obvious reasons but don't worry too much about it because I will upgrade the shields and barriers around the mansion, so all of you are at least safe here", the devil continued. He folded his hands behind his back and raised his head a bit, letting himself seem more composed while a sad glimmer remained in his dark eyes.
"Why do the angels hate us so much?", Samuel mumbled from his spot between his mother and Woosu. Seungmin glanced at his younger brother, seeing how the siren had his gaze fixed onto his lap while he leaned onto Rana.
"Because with the birth of the five of you I screwed up the angels' precious destiny", Lucifer answered his youngest son. Seungmin let his attention drift back to his father, who was mustering his five sons for a brief second. "They hate you because of me", he added, letting his arms drop to the side.
"Oh Lucifer don't be so hard on yourself", Athea spoke up, standing up from her place. She walked over to Lucifer, so she could lay her hand onto his shoulder in a comforting manner. Seungmin would have almost scoffed at the female warlock's sudden change in behavior. At first she was being her hateful self and now she was Lucifer's loving girlfriend.
"The angels are just jealous because you successfully rebelled against the gods", Athea continued trying to reassure Lucifer he has done nothing wrong while in reality everything was his fault. Sure, the five Kim brother only existed because of him. He was their father, after all, but Seungmin knew he only had children because of his stupid hatred towards heaven, the angels and the gods.
Seungmin almost missed how Byungho tensed under his hold. It was barely noticeable and since he looked at his feet it was hard for Seungmin to read his mimic or look into his eyes.
"Listen everyone. We won't get involved into the war between the supernatural creatures and the humans. We have our own battle to fight", Lucifer continued, gently taking Athea's hand off his shoulder. Suddenly Byungho stood up from his spot, freeing himself from Seungmin's hold. For a second Seungmin didn't even realize his brother wasn't beside him anymore.
"That's ridiculous", the brunette got out with gritted teeth. He raised his head to look his father in the eyes. His eyes shone in a bright gold, which shocked both Athea and Lucifer. The devil wanted to say something but Byungho didn't let him.
"The angels can't come down to earth, which is the reason why I'm still alive and the reason why you could get three other children after me", the brunette stated, glaring at his father. "Does the name Adam sound familiar to you? A pretty mighty angel and my mother's ex-husband, isn't he? He was the one, who told me that I am the one child, who truly messed up the world's destiny. He was the one who wanted to kill me as soon as possible but couldn't because he wasn't allowed to go down to earth. He was the one who threw a spear at me but hit my mother because she protected me!", the further Byungho got, the louder he became until he shouted the last sentence into his father's face. Tears began to stream down the brunette's cheeks.
Seungmin felt like the breath was knocked out of his lungs while his brain tried desperately to get a grip on what Byungho had said. He didn't know Eve had a ex-husband or that she was even married before tying the knot with his father but more importantly he had no clue why Byungho should be the main reason for a messed up destiny.
"It's my fault that my mum died because I am not supposed to exist", Byungho barely got out because his voice broke mid sentence. That was it. Seungmin immediately got up and wrapped his arms around his brother's torso from behind while some silent tears escaped his eyes. It made sense that Eve died protecting Byungho. After all, she loved him more than anything and she surely wouldn't want him to blame himself for her death or a messed up destiny.
"All of it is my fault", Seungmin could hear Byungho repeat in a whisper before the older's legs began to give out. Seungmin managed to gently guide them into a kneeling position while staying attached to Byungho's back. Non of this was the brunette's fault. Not his mother's death and not the thing with destiny.
"It's not your fault, hyung", Seungmin mumbled against the older's back while hoping the brunette would believe his words. Suddenly Wonpil, who technically was still on Byungho's right side, stood up abruptly, which almost startled Seungmin.
"Back off", the older redhead said lowly. Seungmin had to look over Byungho's shoulder to see, who the older demon was talking to. It was Lucifer, who had walked towards Byungho and Seungmin and was now raising his hands in surrender towards his oldest son.
"No need to get protective. I won't do anything, Wonpil", he answered and sat down in front of Byungho, whose head hung low again. Seungmin understood Wonpil's reaction but just one look into Lucifer's eyes was enough to tell, that he meant no harm.
"Let me tell you something, Byungho", he began using a calm, kind voice, which was very unusual for him. "Adam is an idiot. He always has been a control freak, believed in the gods' rules without questioning them and did everything the gods asked him to do. Lilith, as you may already know, was his first wife but he sealed her into the earth after she disobeyed him once. Your mother Eve was his second wife and supposed to be obedient to him and the gods", Lucifer explained while his dark eyes were only focused on Byungho.
"In my time as angel I often had to watch your mother. She was such a vital, active and kind creature. She would spend hour running around in Eden talking to all sorts of animals, helping them if they needed it", he continued to talk. When he mentioned Eve his voice became so fond Seungmin thought an entirely different person was talking.
"I loved watching your mother going through her self made routines of helping all animals she came across but after some time I came to the realization that Eve was really unhappy. The gods forbid her to have a child with Adam, which was the only thing she wanted for herself. I couldn't watch her be unhappy, so I promised her to grant her wish in the form of a snake", Lucifer went on with the story. Seungmin was so focused on his father he almost didn't notice how Byungho lightly raised his head.
"A lot happened between me making that promise and actually fulfilling it but when I met Eve again twenty years ago. She was to the one, who made me keep my promise and let me tell you, your mother became the happiest person in the entire universe when she got to hold you for the first time. She loved you more than the entire world. Loved you more than she could ever love another person", Lucifer continued talking in a fond tone. There was a light, sincere smile tugging at his lips.
"Maybe your birth wasn't planned by the gods and let their precious destiny bend in unhealthy ways but it fulfilled your mother's only wish and gave you the power to resist fate", he ended and stood up again with the light smile still being evident on his lips.
"Maybe you could even be the one to end the war with the help of your friends and brothers. I can't keep you locked up in here anyway", Lucifer added, slowly picking up his cocky tone again. He walked some steps back and turned to his whole family again in front of the fireplace. The sadness in his eyes was replaced by something else Seungmin would carefully describe as determination.
"Forget what I said about the angels and the war. If you want to fight alongside your friends I won't stop you. If you find yourself facing a dead end and you are desperate enough to ask the devil for help, I will help you but I won't participate in this war directly neither will Lilith", he announced looking at everyone he called and considered to be his family. A smirk was slowly crawling up his lips, letting Seungmin be reminded once more that his father was the devil.
"That's all I have to say for today", Lucifer ended his little speech, folding his hands behind his back.
