there was a banquet specifically for asta and his rewards he deserved after the spade kingdom attack. it's been about a year. out on the balcony stood sister lily. a nun who basically raised you, asta and yuno in hage.

you went outside to speak with her. nostalgia smoking your brain as you laughed about old things, how everything is different now. a bittersweet melody voiced in the cool breeze of celebration. this was an all worth it peacefulness to the clover kingdom.

unfortunately, this wouldn't last.

you thought the wizard king had come by. but it wasn't him. he stopped time, asta nullifies the spell, and the two engage in an intense fight. during this, lucius (the man who pretended to be the wizard king), purified the devil inside of him. and used sister lily as an example. he sealed the devil beezlebub inside of her, and purified it. making a drastic change in her appearance.

"for the sake of humanity, asta, you must die." despite that being sister lily, you couldn't let her kill asta. because that is not what she would say to him. ever.
