Warning
Hearing Lyra's words, the seven brothers fell silent. They seemed to have no words to say, while Lyra tried to force a smile because she felt bad about interfering in this brothers fight. However, she couldn't deny that when she saw them, she felt a little jealous.
"You're right, I'm wrong. I'm sorry!" Lucas said. His very unexpected apology made them all look at him in confusion.
Lucas apologized? It seemed so hard to believe. Not because he was selfish and arrogant towards his brothers. However, their father had always forced them to place Lucas much higher than his brothers. So whatever decision or mistake he has made, he doesn't need to apologize to anyone.
"Lucas, you-"
"Sit down! You can continue eating, just forget everything I said and you'd better learn to be calmer when you're eating in the future."
Keith really couldn't believe what he was hearing. However, compared to Keith, Aiden looked much more shocked. He felt that Lucas' behavior had become strange since Lyra had lived with them. Lyra seemed to influence him too much for him to change his attitude so quickly like this.
Keith smiled in annoyance as he sighed, his extremely high ego still unable to accept this nonsense. In fact, he increasingly felt that Lucas had deliberately cornered him by apologizing to play with him. He knew very well what Lucas was like and how the words sorry never came out of his mouth to them.
"I'm sure you're joking, but let's just think of this as a start. We'll see how far you can be patient. I'm sure soon you'll tease me and torture me!" He said as he left.
Torture? Lyra was sure that Keith had just told about Lucas' torture. That made her think hard and immediately caught the attention of Gavin who was sitting nearby.
"What do you think?"
"N-no, I didn't think of anything, nothing!"
"Don't get me wrong, it's best to stop trying to interfere in everything that has nothing to do with you!"
"O-okay, I'm sorry."

"I don't think you need to tell Lyra that. What if she thinks that you can read other people's minds?" Lucien said while sipping a glass of wine casually.
"I don't care, I think she needs to be warned before she goes too far."
"She won't do anything if you all don't do something that arouses suspicion. You're too obvious and you should try to act more relaxed like normal humans."
"Too relaxed like Keith you mean?" Gavin glanced at Lucien sarcastically. He felt that Keith's relaxed attitude was too reckless.
"Yes, there's no need to go that far, it's just that currently we are in the human world and even though we are not 100% human, try to blend in more."
"To be honest, I hate this body."
"I quite like this body. Being half human turns out to be interesting too. With this body I want to go to more places and date lots of beautiful women, hahaha..."
"You're worse than Keith!" Gavin, who was annoyed, tried to leave, leaving Lucien who continued to laugh.
"Hahaha...so, how is your relationship with Vivienne? Did you succeed in getting her to reciprocate your feelings?" Lucien's question made Gavin immediately stop in his tracks. He knew that he didn't have to answer that statement if he didn't want to. But as far as he knows, Lucien is the type of person who will keep asking until he gets the answer we want.
"She loves Lucas so much and Lucas is all she wants. After all, we are devils, aren't we? We shouldn't love creatures like that."
"Unfortunately right now we are not demons, Gavin. We are half human and trapped in a human body. To a greater or lesser extent, the characteristics and feelings that humans have will influence us, including love. You know that Lucifer is the most impossible demon to submit to, let alone fall in love with, humans and other creatures he considers inferior to him, that is a trait that is very inherent in a demon king like him. But we'll see how far he goes to maintain his demonic qualities. It's been 15 years since we've been in this body and that's enough time for us to change."
"You're wrong, he will never fall in love with that woman."
"Is it true?"
"I don't know what his real purpose was in bringing that woman to this place. But I'm sure that woman has something to do with Lucas' past."
"Do you think she had something to do with his death?"
"Perhaps, because he wouldn't be so rash as to invite a mere human to this place if it wasn't in his plans."
"What if Lyra ends up affecting his feelings?"
"That's not possible!"
"What if that happened? Would a bestfriend of Lucifer like you prevent that?"
"If that happens, I'll be forced to get rid of women somehow."
"Don't act rashly, Gavin! You know Lucas doesn't like it when someone interfere too much in his business, right? It's best to just let him do what he wants. We don't need to get too involved. The most important thing is how we can get out of this body and get back to where we were, in hell."
