"You really think you can do that?" Lucifer replied, rubbing the back of his head, shaking his head. "I think you're going to have to wait for a long time if that's your wish
"You think we can't?" Milena asked, amused. "Just because you took out that man?"
"Your Majesty, this man is too arrogant! Let me show him his place!" A Noble chimed in between the conversation, angry. It was a middle-aged man with deep red hair which matched his eyes.
He seemed to be the oldest person here based on his looks alone.
Lucifer turned to notice the man. "Can't you see two big people talking? Stay silent and don't disturb us."
"You!"
The red-haired man became even more enraged, standing up. He didn't attack right away though.
Milena didn't interfere or stop the middle-aged man. He was also interested in having some fun.
"You want my stone?" She ultimately asked Lucifer.
"That's why I'm here," Lucifer nodded. "Return your stone to us. Let it return where it belongs."
"Alright. I'll give you that stone. Let's just say the stubbornness of the Warlock Council convinced me," Milena nodded.
"Hmm?"
Shocked gasps filled the Royal Court as the nobles were surprised that Milena had agreed to give away something of hers.
"You will?" Lucifer asked, surprised. "Even though he came to ask for the stone, he hadn't expected that she would easily agree on the first meeting itself."
"Of course I will, but you just do one thing for me," Milena said, smirking.
"What?" Lucifer inquired.
"Tomorrow marks the beginning of our annual divine battles. Nobles from Divine Empires, Newborns, and the strongest Variants of the Divine Empire will take part in the contest," Milena answered.
" I'll keep the stone as the prize for the winner of the tournament. If you won, you could take the stone," she further added.
' Competition? That can be a good excuse to stay in the Empire to fulfill the mission,' Lucifer thought, finding merit in this offer.
To take over the Empire while corroding it from inside, he needed to stay here. That's what the plan was in the first place. Now they just received a VIP invite for them to stay here, which was even better.
"I accept," Lucifer agreed.
"Don't be happy so soon. There will be consequences if you lose," Milena stated.
"What consequences?" Lucifer inquired, curious.
"If you lose, you'll help me steal the stone from the Warlock Council. Since they're after my stone, I'm sure something must be special in it. Now I want theirs too."
"I can turn you into a noble right now, but then they would easily recognize you when you go there. You won't be able to steal. So I need you to support me on your own. If you win, you'll get the stone. If you lose, you'll bring me your stones."
"And if you lost but still didn't help me, we'll wage war on the Warlock Council and kill you. So think carefully. Only accept if you're ready to betray your homeland," Milena reminded Lucifer, not realizing that he wasn't related to the Warlock Council at all.
"I don't need to think about it. I accept," Lucifer agreed, smiling.
He didn't need to care. So what if he betrayed her? So what if she waged war on the Warlock Council? That was going to be even better for him. In any case, he wasn't going to let it come to that. Before the finals of the tournament, he was going to conquer this land and Milena.
"Good. Now take off your masks. We need to know your faces if we want to trust you," Milena commanded Lucifer. His words also implied Salazar.
"Isn't it so you can find me in the Warlock Council to kill me if I betray you after losing?"Lucifer asked, smirking.
"You're not as stupid as I thought," Milena let out. "Take off your masks, both of you."
Lucifer didn't worry about taking off his mask. The only reason he wanted to wear the mask was so that he could come back later when infiltrating the Divine Empire and roaming inside.
He didn't want anyone to link him to the Warlock Council then. But now, he had the permission to stay here as a Warlock Council member. He didn't need to worry about anything.
He wore his gloves again before raising his right hand, placing it over his black mask.
He slowly lowered his mask, revealing his beautiful eyes that possessed a different color. He continued lowering his mask, ultimately revealing his full handsome face.
Salazar also lowered his mask, revealing his face as well. He hadn't spoken even a little since entering the Palace, but many female Nobles who were sitting in the Royal Court found him handsome.
"Aren't you too young to be in a high position at the Warlock Council?" Milena asked, looking at Lucifer's face.
Her words made Lucifer smile wryly. He had asked the same question when he had seen Milena for the first time.
"Aren't you as young as me? Who can know better than you that age doesn't matter in certain things," he reminded Milena.
"As for my position in the Warlock Council, I'm one of the Seven Leaders. So if your nobles can defeat him, I'll really bring the Warlock Council stone to you," he further added, bluffing even more.
He had become such an expert in lying that no one could have recognized the fact that he was lying from his face.
"Leader of the Warlock Council?" Milena inquired, surprised. She hadn't expected this either.
"One of the seven, not the sole leader. Even though it'll be hard to bring that stone here, I'll keep my words if I lose. And similarly, I expect you to keep your words," Lucifer explained.
"Don't worry. As soon as you win, you'll have the stone. This thing is useless for me anyway," Milena answered, revealing her necklace, which had a blue stone hanging on it.
' The second stone. She keeps it so close to her. But now I know where it is. I don't think I'll need to disturb Jiang to search the whole Palace after taking over. It's good she showed it herself,' Lucifer thought, observing the beautiful stone that was slightly shining.
The stone which was inside his cloak pocket also started shining a little in the presence of another stone, but no one noticed.
Milena tucked the necklace under her clothes again.
What Lucifer was here for was right before his eyes now, but he wanted more. He wanted everything, not just the stone!
