âEven when you brought everyone back to life, you didnât just bring back your family alone. You just didnât bring back the people who fought for you. You also brought my family back⦠The family that I had lost forever. The family that you had nothing to do with. The family that Iâm sure most of my Nobles also forgot about. But you remembered⦠You remembered everything.â
â Not only did you bring them back, but you also removed their painful memories of that time so they can live a life without trauma. I realized it when I talked to you. You tell me yourself now? How can someone not love you after all you did? How could I have not fallen for you? How could I have stayed immune?!â Milena exclaimed.
âIt took me a lot of courage to confess my feelings, Lucifer. All because I donât want to lose you. I donât want you to leave without knowing my feelings,â she added.
âIâ¦â
âDonât.â As Lucifer tried to speak, Milena cut him off. âYou donât have to answer me right now. I wonât force you to answer me. If you feel the same, you will know where to find me.â
Milena disappeared swiftly, leaving the room. The room was once again empty, only having Lucifer.
He looked at his clothes on the ground, frowning. âFirst Eve and now Milena?â
Things had just become so complicated for him. He didnât want to break anyoneâs heart or hurt them, but he also couldnât select two Ladies. That wasnât fair. He rubbed the back of his neck as he picked up the clothes. He didnât know how he was going to solve this problem.
He took off his clothes and entered the shower.
He turned on the shower and started bathing as he thought about what had happened.
âEve was the first to come to me with this intention. She also stayed with me for a long time. And sheâs actually a nice girl as much as I know her, and I certainly feel something for her. I just donât know if that feeling is simply attraction. She is really beautiful, after all.â
He talked to himself as the droplets of water dropped on his body.
âMilena is inherently different. She is also very beautiful, but her nature is more similar to me. She went through a hard life like I did. Her soul had been forged in the torment of flames. He never had a day of happiness in her younger days, never having an opportunity of living an ordinary life or falling in love.â
âI also loved talking to her. She is fun to be around, and she tries her best in everything she does, even if it needs taking life. She is also very beautiful. But what about me? What are my feelings? Why is it so hard to understand feelings? I donât even know what I feel for who. Is it because Iâve had such a messed up life? I need someoneâs advice if I want to figure myself out.â
âI canât go to father. I canât go to mother. I also canât go to Salazar. He never had a relationship either. Ah, right! Veracity! I can lie to myself, but I canât lie to her! Even if I donât know my feelings, she should be able to help me! She is also a woman! This is perfect!â
Lucifer turned off the shower and stepped out, using a towel to dry his body. He wore his white attire like he was the Prince Charming. He donned a beautiful white robe on top before using the winds to dry his hair.
He tied his dried hair into a ponytail before leaving his room.
As soon as he left, he saw Kellian standing outside with his arms folded as if he was waiting for Lucifer to come out. Kane also stood with him.
Tristan, Yaliza, and Salazar stood in the back. A team of five was selected to accompany Lucifer; not like any was needed. Lucifer was already so strong after all.
âIs everything ready?â Lucifer asked.
âEverything is prepared. The helicopter is waiting at the top to take us to the airport,â Kellian replied.
âGood. Where is Veracity?â
âVeracity?â
âYeah. She is coming with us too. Inform her to meet us at the top. Weâll leave in fifteen minutes.â
âBut Veracity isnât in the headquarters,â Kellian responded.
Lucifer frowned. âWhere is she then?â
âShe went to the mall to do some shopping with some of the Nobles. It seems she has made some new friends,â Kellian answered.
âWhich mall? You know?â
Kellian nodded. âShe took my permission before leaving. If I knew we were going to need her, I wouldnât have given her permission.â
âItâs alright. Itâs no big deal. Letâs just pick her up at the mall,â Lucifer lazily stated. âWe arenât in any hurry. Not like predictor will run anywhere.â
âRight, predictor?â He looked towards empty air as he spoke.
âHuh?!â Predictor woke up from his sleep, breathing heavily. âCould he see me? He is coming. It looks like today will be my last day.â
Back at Uprising Headquarters, Lucifer took the lift and went to the top, where a helicopter was waiting for them. He entered inside the helicopter along with his team. Surprisingly, many people had come to the roof to see him off as if they knew he was leaving.
Amongst them, Lucifer could see Eve, Alicia, Milena, his family, and a few others.
The chopper turned in the air and flew towards the biggest mall in the city.
The mall was very crowded as today was a holiday. Many people have come to the mall with their families to do some shopping and have some fun.
A helicopter landed right at the entrance of the mall. Everyone who was under the helicopter moved aside at the sight time. No one could say anything to the pilot of the helicopter for landing right before the entrance since everyone knew who this helicopter belonged to.
What they didnât know was the people that were inside the helicopter. They didnât know who from the Uprising was coming here.
As the door opened, everyone looked at the helicopter, wondering who was going to step out. Even the most experienced people were shocked as they saw Lucifer step out of the helicopter! Lucifer wasnât just the King of Elisium! He was a King of the entire world now! He was like a god walking on earth!
Behind him, the second in charge of Uprising, Kellian, also stepped out. The third person was Tristan, who was also a powerful member of Uprising who could destroy the entire mall in one sword strike of his. Yaliza and Kane also stepped out.
Everyone recognized Salazar as well. He was already well known before the reign of Lucifer. He was one of the four Warlock Kings!
