#because its the faith the brothers have on Lucifer that somewhat brought their downfall

Granted the farthest I’ve gotten in OM is lesson 30, and I’m not at lesson 6 in NB, but I’ve always been curious about how the others viewed and felt about Lilith, you know? You don’t ever really hear anyone’s perspective on her except Lucifer, Beel, and Belphie. And the way Levi and Mammon have talked about their fall, it’s as if they didn’t consider her, but were entirely focused on siding with Lucifer. I just wonder what would’ve happened if Lucifer hadn’t come to Lilith’s defense. Would it have been only Beel, Belphie, and her who fought? Would there have even been a war if Luci decided to let her be punished?
First off, how dare you?
Second, you're might be right orz
I believe Simeon once mentioned before that despite how angels also consider themselves to be family, the bond the brothers + Lilith shared was on such a different level that it was impossible to intervene by an outsider like himself (even if he was close to Lucifer and the others), so the lack of information or development of their relationship by the devs just might makes it seem that the others don't really have a strong enough opinion tbh (The first lessons always felt rush to me despite how important it is to MC's and their origin story and I guess that's what NB aims to do to some degree?)
It could also just be the amount of involvement each brother had with Lilith's story.
Like Lucifer was the first one to learn about her love towards a human and even made the effort to meet the person in the human world to see if he was worthy to be with her. (His love for his siblings was so strong that even if they did something wrong, he would still risk everything trying to protect them)
While Beel and Belphie canonically held the closest relationship with her, so the guilt of not being able to save her eats Beel alive and the guilt of introducing the human world to her made Belphie despise humanity enough to kill, for the pain they cause not only to them but her.
So to that effect, those three were the ones who were affected the most, and the others were more like casualities??? Is that the right word?? Probably not lol, but I mean it in the sense of them going "I don't fully understand the situation and something is definitely not right but if Lucifer, the brother we all admire, is here, we will be okay"
They love Lilith and each other in their own way ofc, but Lucifer was sort of the catalyst
