While some demons were enjoying the misery of the Demon Earl, a few even laughed out loud unable to contain their laughter. They knew full well what kind of character Famoon was and what was he referring to with the word artefact.
Being a high ranking demon and a Demon Lord, how could Belial not know what sort of items the latter bought from the auction? He knew full well that this clown of a Duke got scammed by the merchant of the Damned.
However, that being said, being a demon lord who claimed to uphold justice and lead all the demons, he must amend justice for him. As such, Belial turned towards Simon, so did all eyes present in the venue. They all turned toward the accused, awaiting his defence.
On Simon's side, the Demon himself and Oswell both wore a frown of consternation, feeling a headache coming. If it was just Duke Arctauus' accusation they could have somehow dealt with it.
