His heart is immediately touched, and he fights not to cry. Instead, he nods.

“I’ll go now, Da-Ge. I’ll start with Jeremiel.”

My child, you’re lucky that Belphegor is mostly well behaved. Your uncles are having very late life teenage rebellion phase…

Aiya! How are those Archangels of Death more stressful to Fuqin than me, his actual child!

Being Er-Ge is too hard. Our brothers are always in trouble, and I’m the one sent to deal with it…

“Sick with worry for his Xiao-Di,” he nods. “A Xiao-Di who didn’t even think about him when he decided to do what he’s done…”

He nods to himself.

“I’ll deal with him, Da-Ge. Just relax here and focus on taking care of A-Hao. I’ll deal with Lucifer, Michael, and Jeremiel…”

“I know,” he looks down. “I know it’s a rule, but…”

He suddenly grows angry and makes a fist. However, he restrains himself from lashing out.

“I can deal with Lucifer. This is his fault. He has nothing to lose by luring Michael into this little play date, but Michael… Lucifer is selfish as

“Ah, Belphegor,” he sighs. “My problem is that I’m the second brother, which means I still have a brother above me, and now he’s forcing me to deal with the younger ones.”

“They’re somewhere together. We both know it. They used to always do this. Run away to play together. I know that’s what they’re doing now. They ran away to play like the kids they didn’t get to be. It just worries me so much because this time, I don’t think it will

He gently squeezes his shoulder.

“You almost never cry, but you did that day when Lucifer was pulled out of your arms. And you cried again that day when Michael had to be the one to…”

He takes a deep breath again and blinks twice. He can’t cry now, not when he’s trying to be strong for his

“It’s just you and me, Da-Ge,” he says softly and puts a hand on his shoulder. “Yichen is sick and Xingwu is being Xingwu. Not worrying. I don’t think he cares. I don’t know where to begin looking for third and fourth brother, so you and I can only lean on each other. Da-Ge, I know…”

“Belphegor?” He jumps to this conclusion immediately. “That’s how he treated A-Chen’s heart before. He took grace from Xiao-Di and injected it into him.”

Even Er-Ge has to obey Azrael. He knows best, after all. His shoulders slump, but he wipes his eyes and nods.

“I will continue to look into it,” he says is Michael. “But Da-Ge, I’ve never know Michael to be this effective at disguising himself.”

This could probably go on forever.

Belphegor’s mortal shidi. If I lock him up, I have to lock up the Shidi with him, or Yichen will just get worse. Then if I lock up his Shidi, Belphegor will have a fit, and if Belphegor is unhappy, then Xi Bo will be unhappy, and then Ba’al will be unhappy, and if the twins find out, they’ll be

“Da-Ge, I’m so worried,” he admits as he comes closer. “Michael is already enduring the lightning punishment because of me. There’s one thing we all know about our Xiao-Di. Only one person can get him to abandon his post.”

He takes another deep breath.

“Da-Ge, he’s in love with Jiang Wanyin,

Mirrors myself. The servants are busy, but the talk among them is the same. Their master isn’t home…”

He takes a shaky breath.

“And there’s on more thing. A-Chen is worrying himself so much. He’s so pale and weak. I had to put him to bed. Da-Ge, his heart…”

“Da-Ge, did you know that Lucifer came back?” He looks at the floor as though the question he asked is blasphemous. “Xi Bo said to me that Pride gifted him a bunch of overly salty food and told him he would handle planning a banquet for Asmodeus and Mammon. I went to take a look at the Palace of

Dong Jialun - Sariel @tearsofsariel.bsky.social · 15d

I don’t know, but Yichen did tell me that if I saw you, he wanted me to remind you about the ten or fifteen skirts from… Calvin Klein? I think that’s in the modern mortal realm…

Dong Jialun - Sariel @tearsofsariel.bsky.social · 1d

He shakes his head, even though Azrael can’t see it, and when he speaks, his voice is strained.

“Da-Ge, I can’t hear Michael…”

He comes to see his brother with glistening eyes and his fingers nervously picking at his robes. This is highly unusual for their dynamic. Something is clearly upsetting him.

He could stand to be nicer.
