She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 576: Emergency Meeting

Back in Hell, Lucifer had given an earful to Prince Mammon for attacking the area of Lilith and hindering the peace and order among the demons.

Mammon and his army then apologized to Lilith and went back to where they came from. But not before agreeing to pay a fine and receive punishment for the lives lost and properties damaged in the battle.

The demons under Lilith's clan were already working on clearing the places. The demons with creation magic were helping in the rebuilding of the damaged properties, the demons with healing magic were helping those who had relatively lower healing power, and so on and so forth.

Lilith, on the other hand, was in one of the meeting rooms of her mansion with Lucifer. Beelzebub was standing guard outside the meeting room in case Lilith tried anything funny.

Lilith and Lucifer were sitting opposite each other. But both of them were avoiding looking at each other's faces.

"You said you cannot teleport to your son. Did you try summoning him?" Lucifer asked in a monotone.

Lilith was trying her best to remain calm. But her restlessness was evident in her voice and her constant tapping of her foot. "I tried summoning him but that also didn't work."

Normally, higher-level demons would be able to summon the demons who were in their clan. But that only worked when both the parties were in the same plane or in the same realm.

Lucifer furrowed his brows and asked again, "If I remember correctly then his father is from the Earth realm, right?" Experience more tales on m v|l e'-NovelBin.net

"Yes."

And Lucifer mumbled to himself, "Then that means unless my old man intervened, he should be able to teleport to Earth without any restriction."

Lilith tightly clasped her hands together and said, "I was also thinking the same. He is a friend of Ariel. So, maybe he unknowingly teleported to Theodore's Palace after he got pulled into the shadow portal."

"Hmm…" Lucifer rubbed his chin and recalled Ariel mentioning something about meeting a friend.

Lilith finally faced Lucifer and pleadingly looked into his eyes. Though she didn't like begging to Lucifer, there was no other way. "Lucifer, will you summon Theodore here and ask him if my son is there with him?"

Before Lucifer could deny her request, she added, "Even if Damien is not in Theodore's Palace, he might be nearby. He was obsessed with visiting Ariel's home. So my hunch says that he is there. But he has never teleported before so he could have ended up elsewhere."

Lucifer turned to face Lilith and gave her a cold glare. He folded his arms and scoffed, "It's been a long time since you called me by my name. You usually do that when you want something from me."

Lilith wiped the cold sweat from her forehead when Lucifer suddenly acted cold after already knowing what she wanted. And she shouted at him, "Yes. Do you want me to spell it out? I want a favor from you. I want my son back in my arms at the earliest."

Her voice became louder but it trembled and cracked when she further screamed, "I went to great lengths to conceive Damien. He is very dear to me. I cannot imagine my life without him. I'm not…" she gulped and said in a whimper, "I don't want to lose him like we lost our daughter."

Lilith rested her elbows on her thighs and covered her face with her palms. She didn't want to show her tears to anyone, especially not to Lucifer.

Lucifer, on the other hand, felt as though the divine sword of his father had pierced his heart. The wound in his heart that had somewhat healed after thousands and thousands of years got opened again.

He turned his face away from Lilith again. Earlier, he was doing that because of his pride. But now, it was because of the guilt.

And though he had already apologized to Lilith countless times in the past, he did it again, "I'm sorry I couldn't protect our daughter."

"I know you tried your best. I know you also loved her dearly. So I don't blame you anymore." This was most probably the first time that Lilith had accepted Lucifer's apology.

Even though Lilith had always hated Lucifer for seducing him, making her fall from the Garden of Eden, and turning her into a demoness, she still allowed Lucifer to meet with their daughter. Their daughter was very fond of her father so she couldn't deny them visiting each other.

But because of some unfortunate events in the distant past, they lost their daughter. And the only thing that was left between the two of them was immense hatred and enmity.

Lilith wiped her tears and looked back at Lucifer. And she pleaded again, "Lucifer, please… help me find my son. I cannot even imagine losing my other child. Please bring him back to me."

Lucifer couldn't say no when Lilith put aside all her pride and anger and begged him.

Also, he didn't want any harm to befall that boy after knowing that he was the friend that his cute little niece was talking about.

Lucifer thought for a while and said, "I cannot summon Theodore alone because he is not bound to Hell like all the other Princes. So I will have to call an emergency meeting and summon all six Princes of Hell."

"Then summon them." Lilith agreed in a breath. "You can summon all of them right here, I don't mind at all." She wiped her eyes and also added, "I can stay outside if you don't want me in here."

Lucifer gave a nod and said, "I will ask all of them to look for your son. In case he is stuck somewhere in Hell."

A tiny smile appeared on Lilith's lips. "I would really appreciate that." And she ran out of the meeting room so that there wouldn't be any delay.

Lucifer immediately raised his palm up in the air. In the next moment, red lights came out of the tip of his fingers and a huge magic circle began to form in the air. That huge magic circle was surrounded by six other smaller circles. And when those circles were full of runes, Lucifer slammed his palm on the table in front of him.

One by one, all of the Princes started to arrive in the meeting room.

The first one to arrive was obviously the one who was the nearest – Beelzebub. Then came Mammon, Leviathan, Belphegor, Satan, and finally Theodore.

The Princes were confused by that sudden summoning from the King of Hell. For one, they hadn't been summoned like this in thousands of years. And another, this was not the meeting room that they had seen before.

Even though they were confused, they formally greeted their King and sat on the chairs after getting permission from Lucifer.

And without any delay, Lucifer started the emergency meeting, "Princes, I called you here today because one of the children of our realm has disappeared. I suspect that he mistakenly teleported to Earth. But I would appreciate it if all of you issued a search order in your respective domain."

Theodore was the first one to guess who the child was. So he asked in a shocked voice, "Damien disappeared? How?"
