16. Idiot Finally Gained Some Conscience?

"I object to your decision, patriarch"

Before Albert could speak a voice grabbed everyone's attention, looking at the person who spoke everyone was surprised as it was Ares who spoke.

'Is this idiot son of mine finally gained some conscience?'

Stephen thought about looking at his son who stood up from his seat.

'I think he is not as big of an idiot as i thought him to be'

"Speak"

'Haha someone dare to mess with his son I think it finally opened his eyes'

Suppressing his smile Stephen thought as he gave Ares the permission to speak.

"Patriarch I don't think it's wise to give Albert the punishment to exile from the family"

'Yes yes it's better to kill him'

"Albert is still young and a very promising talent to nurture, what happened yesterday i do admit Albert is at fault here and he needs to be punished but Lucifer fortunately suffered nothing and is completely fine"

"Albert is still young and doesn't know the right and wrong, for just one mistake we can't destroy his whole future"

"I think the patriarch should think once again about his decision"

Ares finished speaking and behind him many of the others also supported him and only a few wise ones remained silent.

Stephen who heard his son's words was dumbfounded.

'Did I heard it wrong? No he really'

He was really disappointed in his son this time and if not for everyone present he would have beaten him to pulp.

"No Fath- I mean patriarch this is wrong you shouldn't listen to Ares words"

Emma who also couldn't believe her brother's words also stood up in opposition.

She knew that Ares and Elizabeth are both beyond irresponsible when it comes to Lucifer but this time someone almost killed their own biological son but they spoke on his defence as they are really out of their mind?

Emma and Stephen both argued together with Ares as Elizabeth watched everything in silence.

Yesterday's event when her daughter was traumatized by the loss and cried she requested them to stand up in Albert's defence and that is why she visited Lucifer but..

..After looking at Lucifer's attitude towards her she didn't know what to say anymore.

Lucifer's words which shattered her heart as well as Emma's usual taunts which she always ignored all repeated in her mind.

She really has lost on which side she should be on now.

Stephen and Emma both agreed upon choosing Ares as the next patriarch is an unwise choice, Emma who was more talented than Ares and also stronger than him stood the highest chance of defeating Ares but as the election isn't all about the strength she lost as the number of people who supported her were less than Ares.

After a long debate and joining of some other people in this too no one reached any conclusion.

"I think it would be better for the younger ones to decide on this matter"

Looking at this never ending debate between the strongest of the family finally someone gave his opinion to let the younger generation decide on what they should do.

"Yes, I think this is fair"

Ares also supported this idea because he has an idea on how things would go.

"Yes I also support this it would be better for the younger ones to resolve their matters on their own"

"Yes me too"

Everybody present in the hall supported this idea but Emma and Stephen were still reluctant as it is still not fair.

Stephen glanced at his grandson who was sitting in his place in silence with no expression on his face as if this discussion didn't matter at all to him.

Stephen gave Lucifer an apologetic look to which Lucifer just responded with a small nod for his approval.

"Ok let the younger ones decide on this matter on their own"

Stephen finally declared his decision and Lucifer, Sarah and everyone else went to the centre of the hall together.

The entire hall lit up with the golden magic circle and all of them were enveloped by a golden shape dome.

The ones following Sarah weren't able to hide their smirk and Albert who heard the decision cried, but instead of grief they were of joy.

Lucifer just stood in front of them all with an indifferent expression as Emma and Stephen watched him with concern.

'Hey system can I kill Sarah now?'
