Ludwig stood in the hallway before entering the courtroom, he was with his brother who was having a smoke break.

"Can't you go smoke somewhere else?"

The German said irritated. It was an important day for him, the first day of Feliciano's trial and he couldn't mess it up. He was also nervous because of what happened the night before. Ludwig had butterflies in his stomach and didn't know how he would react when he sees the priest again.

"Calm down West, smoke doesn't harm you or me, have you forgotten you're a demon?"

Gilbert made fun of Ludwig, even though he knew how upset his brother was.

"I don't know why you're so stressed, we have it all figured it out! Just use your normal defense and if it doesn't work out, you have a backup plan".

The German shook his head. It felt so wrong to do this, he didn't like the idea of lying to Feliciano, but he was determined to do anything to send the Italian to heaven, the cost of it didn't matter to him.

"Do you even care about your client, brother?"

The Aabino exhaled deeply before throwing the cigarette on the floor and stepping on it.

"Of course I do, Francis is a great guy and I'll visit him down there oftenly".

The doors of the courtroom were slammed open, the time had come. Inside were the other demon and angel lawyers, discussing some of the details with their clients. Standing in a corner remained the priest, looking around the room hoping to spot Ludwig.

"Good morning, Feliciano".

The demon greeted his client, who was startled by his sudden presence.

"Oh, I didn't see you before and I thought you weren't going to come".

The Italian sounded relieved and a smile was drawn on his eyes when Ludwig appeared. Perhaps he was happy to see him?

"I hope you're ready for today".

The brunette nodded, taking a seat beside his lawyer as the jury entered. It was the demonic council. And if they had been chosen to be the jury, then the judge would naturally be a creature from the underworld. The rules of the purgatory worked that way, if the jury were angels then the judge would be an archangel. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on Feliciano's side in this trial of life and death.

"Good morning respected members of the demonic council and our fair and your honor mr. Basch Zwingli".

The Prussian begin his opening statement by saluting the the courtroom and introducing the judge, who happened to be the personification of one of the seven deadly sins: greed.

"I would like to present the case of Francis Bonnefoy who passed away due to autoerotic asphyxiation".

Chuckles could be heard from the jury, which infuriated the judge and slammed his gavel, making the court silent.

"Mr. Bonnefoy, do you pledge guilty for provoking your own death for pleasure?"

The Frenchman stood up right beside his lawyer with a smirk on his face.

"Guilty as charged!"

An hour or so passed, since Francis pledged guilty, and the judge was the one who would ultimately decide the faith of the Frenchman. If he had pledged not guilty, then the jury would have been the one judging him. The lawyers were on the hallway again, taking a small break before beginning the second case- the priest's case.

"Are you ready West?"

The German shook his head as he walked in circles, very preoccupied.

"He's definitely going to pledge not guilty, there's no way I can convince of other wise".

The Prussian sighted, his brother really had a difficult case. The stubborn Italian was going to fight until the last second to prove his innocence.

"Good luck with that priest, comrade".

The Russian whispered into his colleague's ear as he passed by. Ivan had managed to give the German chills. The last thing he needed was to get even more shook by Ivan and his strange ways.

"Back off Ivan, you're lucky you got an easy one".

The albino growled at the Russian who walked away giggling.

On the other side of the hallway were the angels, including Antonio who was talking with Lovino.

"Lovi, the next case coming up is your brother's and no matter what happens, you need to remain calm, si?

The Italian crossed his arms as he looked away from his lawyer

"What are you talking about? I am always calm".

Antonio wished that were true. It would have made his case much more easier to handle.

"I'm serious Lovi, if you don't behave well in the courtroom, there could be more charges pressed on you".

The gangster rolled his eyes, he already knew that he would be going to hell and there was pretty much nothing he could do to stop it. Still, for Tonio's case he would try to behave.

The lawyers and their clients walked back into the room. It was time for the second case of the day, four more to go.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury and your honor, I here present the case of Feliciano Vargas who died of poisoning".

The judge raised an eyebrow, he was interested in the case. How unusual for a man of god to die in such mysterious circumstances.

"Mr. Vargas, do you pledge guilty for being the main responsible of your murder?"

Everyone in the room remained silent, anxiously waiting for the brunette's answer.

"I do not".

He said it loud and clear, looking directly into Basch's eyes. Who had a smirk on his face and tapped his fingers on his gravel.

"Well then sir, your lawyer can begin the defense".

The German stood up once more and cleared his throat.

"Mr. Vargas was not responsible for his death. He received a present from someone who was supposed to be a friend, and this man, Arthur Kirkland, gave him a poisoned bottle of wine".

The jury began discussing with each other and one of the demons rose from the crowd.

"Lies! The priest was a fornicator and a drunk!"

Lovino's eyes widened as he turned to look at Antonio furiously.

"Lovi please don't, just hold on".

The Angel grabbed his client's hand tightly in an effort to calm him down.

"May I be presented evidence of it, members of the jury?"

The judge asked for, still maintaining that smirk, the usually bad tempered Basch was actually having a blast.

The tv in the room was turned on and it played a tape where Feliciano is in his own office and desperately opens the bottle chugging the drink down.

"Do you have anything to say about that, father?"

Feliciano felt so humiliated, how did they even get that footage of him?

"Your honor, I find this piece of evidence to be irrelevant, my client was poisoned!"

The judge once again slammed his shovel.

"I asked the priest not you".

Now all the eyes were on the Italian as he took a few steps forward.

"Yes I admit drinking the whole bottle and I am aware that it was highly unethical but I had a reason to do it".

The crowd roared once more, and the jury seemed eager to speak.

"Was the reason feeling betrayed by a lover?"

The German was trying to remain his calm, he had been situations like this millions of times and he had never felt so worried. The jury were all demons and they find joy in torturing the priest, this was normal, so he must control his emotions.

The tv played another footage, but this tape was mostly censored as unholy sounds came out of it.

"That's it, I'm not taking more of this shit, they can't make fun of my brother like that".

Lovino stood up and the angel followed right behind him.

"Turn that shit off, right now!"

He screamed, demanding that the porno of Feliciano to be removed inmmediately.

"You have no word in here, foolish human".

The jury hissed, making the build up anger inside the Italian explode. The gangster ran up to the judge to pick up a giant law book on his table and smashed it against the screen that continued playing.

"I said, turn this shit off!"

He screamed, hitting the screen repeatedly until it broke and the signal was lost. Antonio was flying around the room, panicking. This was the first time he had a client that was thus aggressive, he didn't even know what to do to stop him.

"Lovino, please, you don't have to do this".

The priest had a weak smile as he got closer to his brother. Ludwig on the other hand, had never seen anything like this happen in court before. The other lawyers were equally surprised, for never the court had been so chaotic before.

"Shut it! And get this mad man out of here"

The judge was hitting his gavel non-stop.

"You're too kind to these scums fratello".

Lovino mumbled as his angel tried to pull him out of the room.

"Let go of me bastard!"

He yelled at Antonio, but that didn't stop the angel from keep on trying and the other 2 angels also came to help their friend out. It took the force of 3 angels to drag the gangster out of the courtroom.

Around 15 minutes passed since the place was torn apart by the priest's insane brother. Everyone was back in their places and the tv had been replaced.

"Your honor, I would like to apologize for-".

Ludwig was cut off by the judge who was now in a terrible mood.

"Did I give you permission to speak?"

The brunette remained with a smile in his face, even though he had been humiliated by the entire court and was soon to become their mockery, he wasn't ready to give up on his case yet.

"Would you like to address anything about the evidence displayed minutes before?"

The German glared at his client, hoping that he would take the hint and declare no further, but as it was expected, he didn't.

"Your honor, I am aware that I have broken my vows but it was because I was in love".

The jury was wheezing, even the judge chuckled a bit. The whole courtroom had bursted into laughter. The demon didn't know what he could do to stop this nonsense.

"Alright, quick 5 minutes break and we'll continue, I just need a second".

Basch continued laughing like everyone else as they began chit chatting amongst each other. The German grabbed the Italian by the wrist tightly as he rushed out of the courtroom through the hallway.

"Well done Ludwig".

Ivan teased, but the German wasn't in the mood and raised his fist, punching the Russian demon on the face. Feliciano was in shock as he continued to be dragged away by the angered demon to the bathroom where Ludwig locked the door.

"What the fuck was that about!?"

He screamed at the priest, who was getting frightened by the violent reaction of his lawyer.

"Do you really expect us to win if you're going to ignore my hints and blurt out whatever you want?"

The German pressed the Italian against the wall and the brunette's eyes were becoming watery.

"That you're in love with her? That's bullshit, you're in love with me!"

Feliciano didn't know what to think or what to say, before he could react, Ludwig's lips were pressed against his. He allowed the demon to slip his tongue deeper inside his mouth. The fear had disappeared and turned into passion as the lovers from different worlds made out in the courtroom bathroom.

Unfortunately for them, locks were easy to break with a spell and Ivan Braginski, the demon just punched by Ludwig, walked in on them.
