"Thank you for the nice surprise, Theo," Lucifer handed over Ariel to Theodore with a wide smile on his face.
He had spent almost an hour talking and bonding with his niece. He didn't want Theodore to take her away soon but Theodore said that they needed to go.
Lucifer caressed Ariel's hair and said to his brother, "You don't know how happy I am to have t this cute little bundle of joy. It felt so nice to see the face of one of my family mbers for a change. It's been ages since I saw anyone. I was tired of seeing all the demons."
Theodore raised his brows and pointed at himself. And he asked his brother in a surprised tone, "Er… so what am I to you? Am I not your family?"
Lucifer wrinkled his nose and replied, "I wanted to see soone else's face beside yours. Unfortunately, your face looks very similar to mine. So seeing your face is no different than looking in the mirror."
"Hey!" Theodore narrowed his eyes at his brother and sneered, "Why are you making fun of instead of being grateful that you at least got to see and talk to . Would you have rather liked it if I had left you alone?"
"Maybe," Lucifer mockingly rolled his eyes at Theodore and then glanced at Ariel. And he asked her, "Co to et your uncle soon, okay? And ask your dada to bring you to my Palace. I have a lovely puppy. You can play with him."
"Puppy?" Ariel's eyes twinkled the mont she heard Lucifer ntioning it.
However, Theodore was very quick to dismiss it, "No. If you want to et Ariel then this is where you co. I am not going to let that three-headed beast trample my daughter with its tongue."
Lucifer smacked Theodore at the back of his head and scolded him, "How dare you call my Cer a beast? He is a fluffball. And you are going to bring her to my mansion the next ti you two visit."
"Ary likes puppies," Ariel gave a puppy-eyed look to her father and said, "Can we go to uncle Lucifer's palace the next ti?"
Theodore opened his mouth to say no but when his daughter looked at him like she was so lost puppy, he couldn't bring himself to deny her. "Sure. Let's do that."
Ariel clapped her hands excitedly. And then she pumped her fist and ordered Theodore, "Now take to Damien's palace. Let's go!"
"Damien?" Lucifer thought that he was so royal from Earth and asked, "Is he a Prince or sothing?"
"Umm…" Theodore ran his fingers through his black hair and cleared his throat. "Er…" Out of nowhere, the dark mist started to hover around Theodore and Ariel.
Lucifer was quick to catch Theodore's wrist and he asked with a suspicious look on his face, "You're going to run away without telling who he is? I wonder why?"
Theodore gave a nervous chuckle and replied, "Ariel… he is Ariel's friend. Can we go now?"
"Then why are you acting so strangely?" Lucifer tightened his hold on Theodore even more while maintaining a constant smile on his face so as not to scare Ariel.
"Okay, okay, I will tell you." Theodore tried to get out of Lucifer's hold but he couldn't do it as he was carrying Ariel. So he demanded, "First leave my hand."
"First tell ," Lucifer gave that sa fake smile.
Ariel fisted one of her hands on her hip and answered her uncle, "Damien is my demon friend, uncle Luciper. Can we go now? I want to play with him. You can play with my dada tomorrow."
Lucifer instantly let go of Theodore's wrist and took a step back.
He then gave a smile to his niece and asked, "Demon friend?" He turned his questioning glance and asked Theodore, "Who is she talking about?"
However, before Lucifer could probe any further, Theodore gave an awkward smile to Lucifer and disappeared from there without answering.
"Tsk! That rude brat!" Lucifer narrowed his eyes and mumbled, "Did she an…"

Theodore and Ariel appeared in the hallway of Lilith's mansion.
A succubus appeared there in an instant thinking it was an intrusion from so enemies of Lilith. However, when she saw that it was none other than the Prince of Hell, she respectfully bowed and said, "Let escort you to the eting room, Your Highness."
But Theodore didn't want to go through all the formal procedures and announce to everyone that he was there. So he instead asked, "Why don't you inform Lilith that I am here with my daughter. I will wait here until then."
"As you wish, Your Highness," that succubus bowed to Theodore and flew away.
Theodore then started to look around the hall. His eyes happened to fall on his daughter's face. And he saw that her mouth and eyes were wide open and she was even blushing a little.
"Are you alright, Ary?" Theodore poked his daughter's chubby cheek and asked.
Ariel looked at her father and asked in a whisper, "Why was that lady just wearing a ribbon on her body? I could see her boobies."
Theodore awkwardly pursed his lips because the succubus was covered decently as opposed to how his daughter was making it sound.
However, Ariel was not used to seeing a succubus. Neither was she used to seeing ladies wearing short clothes.
So he could understand what she ant to say. "Um… that lady is called a succubus. And… and…" he stuttered because he couldn't exactly tell a toddler that succubi were the seductresses and they dressed to seduce.
Before he stuttered so more, Damien ca flying to his rescue.
"Ariel! You are here!" Damien happily circled above Theodore and Ariel.
"Damien! I am here." Ariel happily giggled and raised her hand in an attempt to touch Damien.
Damien also held out his hand to touch Ariel's hand. However, he wasn't that perfect at flying yet. His wings got off balance and he was about to hit Theodore on the head with his wings.
"Careful, Damien." Theodore swiftly caught Damien and held him on his empty arm.
"Damien!" Lilith angrily shouted from behind him. "How many tis do I have to tell you? Don't fly inside the mansion."
She sighed and said in a bit softer tone, "You keep on acting so rashly, Damien."
Theodore glanced at Damien to see that he wasn't listening to a word that his mother was saying to him. He was busy giving a smile to Ariel.
The corner of Theodore's lips pulled up slightly and he said to Lilith, "Leave him be. Maybe he was a little too excited to et his friend."
