"Who knows, maybe they really wanted to be one of us; that's why they keep coming back?" Another noble said, smiling.
His clothes were also the same as the clothes of the last man. The only difference was that this man had spiky black hair, contrary to the long red hair of the former.
The Helicopter landed in front of the Palace, but no one stepped out of it.
Lucifer brought out a full face mask from a bag he was carrying. He covered his face with the pitch-black mask that only had the opening for his eyes.
There was only a smile engraved on the mask.
Salazar also brought a mask out of his pocket. His Mask was red in color; it also had the same odd smile carved on it. They had brought these masks to hide their true faces, at least until it was the right time.
Caen wasn't the only one who wasn't wearing a mask since his face was already a mask. While Shuri remained seated, confused as to why Lucifer and Salazar wore masks suddenly, he didn't ask.
Caen opened the doors and stepped out. Lucifer and Salazar stepped out of the helicopter too.
Since they were still outside, they followed the suit, making Caen pretend to be the leader of their group.
"Ah, it's you again! You came so soon? Don't tell me you decided to take Her Majesty's offer of becoming a Noble?"
"Hahaha, of course, he would. That's the only way weak people like him can gain strength and achieve their second evolution!"
The nobles started laughing amongst themselves, not even taking Caen seriously since he had come here twice already, according to them.
"Come, let us take you to our queen," one of the Nobles said, taking the three of them inside. " I think she would be amused too!"
Lucifer, Caen, and Salazar entered the Palace. It was only after entering the Palace that they switched the places. Lucifer walked ahead of Caen, taking the first position. Salazar remained in the end. Caen was the weakest amongst them. He needed to be in the middle to be safer.
Moreover, Shuri couldn't see them now as he was still outside. They didn't need to keep the charade of Caen being the leader.
"Wait right here. I'll tell her majesty about your arrival," the dark-haired Noble told Caen before he pushed the door open and stepped inside. Other nobles still remained with the three of them, keeping an eye.
....
"I heard you wanted to be a Noble? Tell me why I should make you one?"
Inside the Royal Court, Queen Milena was sitting on the throne, talking to a young man who was brought to her with an odd request. The young man wanted her to kill him and turn her into a Noble.
The young man was sitting on one knee respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I awakened my powers eight years ago. Since then, I have had a dream of becoming a noble and serving the Empire with my powers. Now that I have turned eighteen, I come to you, offering my services," the young man answered, keeping his head down.
He didn't dare to raise his head in front of the Queen.
"Do you realize that you'll need to die for that? Why do you want to die? All to serve the Divine Empire? Are you prepared to die? You know, it's easy to talk about dying, but it's really hard when the time actually comes," Milena reminded the young man.
"I am ready to die, Your Majesty. I promise I won't back off," the young man answered.
"Tell me your powers. What did you awaken? If that's with my attention, I might listen to your request," Milena told the young man, glancing at him interestingly.
"My powers, ah, I can bind anyone using my energy wave and also attack them using the same!" the young man replied.
"Is that it?" Milena asked, frowning.
"I-i think I can't explain clearly, but it's a really strong power. I can restrict the movement of any enemy and slice them in half! I-i know it can be helpful in battles! I can be useful for the Empire! Please give me a chance!" The young man said, hitting his head on the ground.
"What do you all think?" Milena asked the others in the court.
"I think he can be a good addition. He does have loyalty, and he wants to serve. Moreover, after getting additional powers as a noble, his strength would only increase. And with high agility, his binding can really catch enemies," One of the nobles said.
The others also seemed to agree with him.
There was only one noble who disagreed. "I don't think we should. A Noble is a high position. He hasn't proven himself yet. I don't think we should until he does that."
"Hmm? That's true as well. But then again, I do want to see how it goes. Does he have real courage? Or is it for a show?" Milena asked.
"Give me a knife," she calmly said.
A Noble gave her their golden knife at once.
Milena tossed that knife towards the young man.
"Hmm?" The young man looked at the knife, confused.
"Go ahead. Prove your courage. Pick up that knife and stab your neck. Let me see if you're really serious," Milena told the young boy.
"Will you make me a Noble then?" The young man asked.
"Who knows? I might, or I might not," Milena casually replied. "I leave the choice to you."
The young man slowly picked up the knife, placing the sharp end near his neck.
He swallowed deeply, ready to take the risk.
Just as he was about to thrust the knife towards himself, the golden doors opened.
The young man stopped, looking back.
The others also looked at the doors, watching a dark-haired Noble enter.
"Speak," Milena said calmly, glancing at the dark-haired Noble.
"Your Majesty, the Warlock Council rats are here to meet you again. One of them is the same winged one that came last time," the man informed Milena.
"They came again? Now they're really annoying me. If they want death, then so be it," Milena said, frowning. "Fine. Send them in."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the dark-haired man left.
Milena shifted his attention to the young man who still had the knife on his neck.
"You, kid. You don't have to stab. You said your powers were strong. Fine. Let me see how strong they are."
"You're going to attack the people who enter the Royal Court next.. As long as you kill at least one of them, I'll make you a Noble," Milena said.
