Around a rectangular table sat Lith, Lucifer, and Ren's three mothers on the opposite side, holding him in their arms.

Adriel stood behind Lucifer in wait, ready to execute any instructions she may have for her.

Lith began the conversation and firstly greeted the three girls and introduced himself.

The girls simply nodded and didn't introduce themselves back.

Lith wondered if it was due to their lack of social skills and feeling nothing wrong with it because they were demonic beasts, questioned them further by asking their names.

As he did that, their response baffled Lith as he got to know they didn't have names. He turned to look at Lucifer and stared at her with an unhappy look, clearly indicating he was disappointed in her.

"Hey!" Lucifer didn't like such a look. "I had no idea they were without names. All my life, I thought they were called Cerberus and I just called them that."

Lith shook his head. His disappointment was immeasurable and his aunt was truly stupid.

Lucifer could feel what Lith was thinking of and she felt annoyed. But she also knew it was her fault so she didn't say anything in response.

Lucifer turned to look at the three girls and said, "Hey, Cerberus, why didn't you guys tell me you were without names?"

The girl with the fierce attitude closed her eyes and said calmly, "We were too small when you had us. We barely knew anything."

The middle girl nodded. "But don't worry, it's not your fault. Almost all our life, we three have lived as one so you might not have felt the need."

The third girl, not being zoned out this time, added calmly while looking at Lucifer, "Don't worry, it's not your fault."

Their responses made Lucifer feel bad. It was a genuine mess up and as Cerberus had mentioned, the three were one for most part so it was a genuine mistake.

But Lucifer knew a mess up of this degree was pretty good. Being an experienced person, she should've known and done better.

However, what was done was done and Lucifer couldn't change the past. She could only curse herself for being the way she was and learn from it.

Lucifer got up from her seat and went behind the three. She hugged them and said softly, "I am sorry, girls. I should've known better."

The girls, being hugged by Lucifer so suddenly, were left speechless.

Their emotions took better of them and all three blanked out.

For the first time in a long while, they experienced care from someone. The warmth Lucifer showed them made their eyes moist.

But being beasts with prowess equivalent to a Supreme Rank, the three girls held them back and didn't say or do anything else.

The three girls were cared for when they were separate but that was the time when they were very young. Their teenage and adult life was spent as Cerberus and since they were growing so much with each passing day, Lucifer put them out in the open.

Although the cold outside and the open air didn't bother them, the girls still longed for some warmth and care which they had hardly ever received in their lives.

Their longing however was suppressed as their innate thirst for power took over once they were out on their own.

They worked hard and cultivated according to their instincts, eventually becoming powerful and getting noticed by Lucifer.

Lucifer trained them further and had them reach the peak of cultivation.

Once they were of such a level, love and care was naturally something that was far too suppressed within them. They weren't bothered by it anymore and for the rest of their lives, roamed around the entrance of the Demon Castle, guarding it.

But at this very moment when Lucifer hugged them so suddenly, their suppressed emotions overwhelmed them and made them unable to think straight.

Lucifer could feel the changes within them and although was surprised, didn't let them go and hugged them tight.

Lith, who was watching everything from the start, was surprised with the sudden chain of reactions.

Suddenly out of nowhere, he triggered an event which made the mighty demonic beast emotional. He didn't know whether he was a genius to do this or was it just pure luck.

Whatever the case, Lucifer was doing a good job currently and wasn't being a bitch like she usually was.

The fluctuating emotions of the three girls made Lucifer hug them even tighter and cuddle.

She could very well understand that these three girls were without a guardian or parent for so long that even a simple thing such as a hug could make them emotional.

Lucifer cursed herself once again knowing how much she had neglected these poor girls. She only realized now that she should have taken better care of these innocent girls.

But as they say, better late than never, and taking that to heart, Lucifer internally thought she would treat these girls better.

'Wait, it's not these girls but my girls. They are my girls and I'll never neglect them again.' Lucifer thought to herself and hugged them tighter.

Finally after a while, the girls composed themselves and their emotions appeared stable enough for Lucifer to let them go.

Lucifer then got back to her seat and clasping her hand together, said with a smile, "Alright, let's have a small naming ceremony. Adriel, go do the arrangements. I want to give my girls the things they deserve."

"As Her Majesty wishes." Adriel bowed and left.

Lith, raising his eyebrow in surprise, asked, "My girls?"

This was the first time Lith had heard Lucifer say something like that.

Cerberus were confused as well and looked at Lucifer.

Lucifer smiled. "Of course." She pointed at the three and continued, "Those three are mine, so of course I'll call them my girls."

Lucifer calling them in such a possessive and intimate manner made the three girls smile.

But Lith wasn't smiling and said while shaking his head, "Look at you it hasn't even been five minutes since you saw three young girls, and you're already trying to get them under your grasp. Tch. Tch. Tch. I expected better from you aunt, didn't think you were a lolicon."

"Huh?" Lucifer was dumbfounded with this analysis. But then she glared at him and said, "Stop making weird jokes. This is a serious moment."

Lith chuckled in response and didn't say anything further.

A few hours passed.

Lucifer had a small naming ceremony with Cerberus and ended up naming the fierce one as Roxanne, the timid one Rosalynn, and the zoned out one as Ruth.

While deciding on the names, since their child was already called as Ren, Lucifer decided to name them something with R.

It then immediately clicked Lucifer and she thought of Roxy, Rosy, and Ruth. However, since Roxy and Rosy didn't sound mature enough, she elaborated them further and named them as such.

Even though they had big names, Lucifer would still call them Roxy, Rosy, and Ruth when talking to them.

Getting names for themselves, the girls were very happy and went on to hug Lucifer, not leaving her alone for even a second.

It was a happy moment for all and finally when their naming and everything was done, Lith brought up the topic of wanting to take Ren back with him, which made the three girls' mood drop.

"No! You can't take our child with you." Was a stern message Lith got from the three.

It was understandable and Lith didn't want to separate a child from their mothers. But

Ren was sad knowing he wouldn't be with Lith and it was clearly noticeable.

Even though the time Lith spent with Ren was short, he unknowingly had a big impact on Ren's life.

Ren didn't want to be separated from Lith, but it was also true that he wouldn't want to be without his mothers. It was a dilemma in which Ren was in and Lith had to do something about it.

Telling all of this stuff to Cerberus wasn't a viable option as they wouldn't think of anything but their child. They wouldn't want to compromise on him and it was rightfully justified.

However, Ren's happiness needed to be taken into consideration as well and racking his brain for a bit, Lith came up with a solution and said,

"Hear me out first and think of things rationally."

Cerberus were angry and they glared at Lith for wanting to take their child away. But Lucifer chimed in this time and had them calm down.

Once they were ready to listen, Lith made them understand that he wasn't separating Ren from them.

They would always be together but Ren needed to grow too otherwise he would just be a mortal dog who would one day die.

This realization shook the girls and they listened to Lith seriously.

Lith told them that he possessed many good things which he could provide to Ren and have him cultivate, eventually making him as powerful as his mothers.

Cerberus argued that they could do it as well but Lith then said that Ren would get to adventure outside, meet many people, look at many things, and overall just have a lot of wild experiences.

Cerberus were already too strong and if they tried to go out and repeat what Lith was doing, it wouldn't be the same and Ren's growth would be slow.

Eventually Lucifer took it to herself in explaining her girls the things and finally convinced them that it was better for Ren to go with Lith.

Ren became happy knowing he would be with Lith but the problem of separation still haunted Cerberus.

Lith assured them that there wouldn't be such a problem as he would be visiting the Demon Castle frequently.

Lucifer asked why he would visit frequently which only made Lith cough and change topic by mentioning the fact that Cerberus were free to visit Ren whenever they wanted.

They could come to Nightingale and wait for Lith there or if they knew where Lith was, they could go visit him there.

It was a win-win situation on all sides and finally after a lot more talking, Lith ended up having Ren back with him.

After spending some time with Lucifer and her girls, Lith bid them farewell and left for the Human Continent along with Ren.

Outskirts of a random village, Human Continent.

Lith teleported below a tree with Ren in his arms.

There was a village in front of him and looking at it, Lith smiled and petting Ren, asked,

"Are you ready for a new adventure?"

"Woof!" Ren said happily, even though he didn't understand what Lith meant.

Lith chuckled. "Let's get moving then."
