"I want to believe that you won't kill him. But why do you have a dagger out like that?" Frank asked Ashton who was confused, "Dagger or short sword, whatever it is. It sure as hell doesn't look to me like a tool to propagate peace."
"A dagger? What dagger-"
Ashton looked down, only to realise he did not have Raphael in his hands, but his trusty short sword, Balmond. He was pretty sure he had called out Raphael, not Balmond and yet his eyes weren't deceiving him. As a result, he was confused until he heard Astaroth's voice again.
[What do you think you are doing...?]
'I wanted to seal Beelzebub within Raphael's domain. That way, we wouldn't have to worry about him, nor would we have to kill him.'
[So you went ahead and were about to do the one thing you were told not to? Looks like your intelligence regressed after being hit by Beelzebub.]
'Shit, it completely skipped my mind.'
[One of these days, your life will skip you instead.]
