"That's exactly what happened. Arthur was already waiting for us here to get his answers. And now I'm sure he would go back and inform Milena. This would also decrease the suspicions in her head at this point."
"Moreover, this way I also won a bit of the trust of Arthur. That's also how I managed to get such an important piece of information that I wouldn't have expected otherwise."
Lucifer informed his thought process.
As he explained in simpler terms, everyone finally understood why he exposed their abilities like this, and it also made them realize that he was right.
"That's.... actually good. You were right. I didn't really think about that before, but yeah, that would have been suspicious." Salazar agreed.
"Well, that's not the end of it though. We're still not free of suspicions. I'm sure there would be people keeping an eye on us tonight," Lucifer said, sitting on the couch.
"So we won't be leaving tonight?" Caen asked.
"We won't. At least not tonight," Lucifer responded.
"Tonight, we will just sleep."
"Huh? Will we just wait until then? Tomorrow will be the start of the tournament. And after that, we might not get the opportunity. Shouldn't we utilize this opportunity?"
"Nope. We are going to have an even better opportunity tomorrow. I have a plan," Lucifer replied, smiling.
"What plan?" Salazar asked.
The maid in her room listened carefully to what was going to happen. She also wanted to know their plan.
Lucifer opened his lips to speak, but he soon closed them.
"You'll know when the time comes. For more, let's just have faith."
He stood up.
"That reminds me. I'm getting hungry. Where is she? We didn't even have breakfast in the morning. In everything, I completely forgot about eating."
"Ah, that's right. I'll go and find her." Heath stood up, running to the stairs.
...
Heath soon returned with the Maid, who informed them that the lunch was already prepared.
She escorted all of them to the dinner table, where the lunch was already arranged properly.
In the lunch, five types of dishes were prepared by the maid, all made from the vegetables that were taken from the nations in control of the Divine Empire.
As the Divine Empire was situated in such a bad terrain, not much could be grown here. Only some specific types of items could be produced here.
Fortunately, that much was enough to feed the population of the Divine Empire. As for the Nobles, they survived on Blood, so they didn't have a problem either.
The person who enjoyed the food most happened to be none other than Heath. Even though Lucifer ate the most here, Heath was the one who enjoyed it the most.
He didn't shy away from praising the food either.
"If I were to name one thing I like about the Divine Empire, it's going to be their food. It's so delicious," he let out.
"I am glad that you like it," the maid happily responded.
"Why won't I like it? It's really great. I wish I could eat something like this daily," Heath stated again.
"Heath, you do know that you can stay here if you want. Then you can eat the delicious food daily. I can talk to Milena if you want," Lucifer reminded Heath, smirking. "What do you say?"
"S-stay here? No! Not in a million years! After what I saw at the bar, I would have to be crazy to think about staying in this Empire! Even though I like the food, I don't want to stay here!"
"Hahaha, you're scared of just that?" Salazar found it amusing. "You're a Warlock Council member. You shouldn't be scared with just that."
"May I ask what you all saw inside the bar?" The maid asked, chiming in on the conversation.
"Hah, nothing. It's better if you don't know," Health responded, not answering. He didn't want to upset anyone by leaking about that. They were especially warned not to tell anyone about this. And he wasn't going to ignore that warning.
Moreover, he knew that it might affect their relationship with the Nobles, which was already pretty strained.
Just like last time, everyone finished eating except Lucifer, who was the last one to finish. It was in the end that he stood up. He washed his hand and left.
The others went back to their room, and so did Lucifer.
Sitting on the bed, he brought the document that was given to him by Arthur out of his pocket and unfolded him.
Using the glasses, he sent an image of this document to Kellian.
After sending the image, he contacted Kellian and informed them to find more information about the person mentioned in the document.
"Give me some time. I'll get back to you with the information," Kellian replied, sending the document to the specific team that could handle it.
"That's good. Get back to me with the information as fast as you can. By the way, how did it go with the Warlock Council Envoy?" Lucifer asked.
"It didn't go well at all. I think I really pissed them off. But then again, they asked for it," Kellian responded.
"Do you think you upset them enough for them to attack?" Lucifer asked.
"I don't think they'll be that petty. At best, they'll send a couple of powerful Warlocks to handle this inside, but they won't send their entire army. We're keeping an eye on them. We'll have more information soon. Hopefully, we'll be able to handle it."
"Not hopefully. You'll certainly be able to handle it. In any case, it's only for a short while. I'll be back soon too. It won't take long here now."
"Really? Did you get some breakthrough?"
"I guess you can say that. Everything will depend on what happens tomorrow," Lucifer answered. "If things go as planned, it would be pretty amusing."
"The dream of Predictor... I'm sure he told you about that. And you managed to avoid troubles, but that just proves how dangerous that place is. So stay alert. And if you need any help, just tell me now. I'll personally come with some of our best."
"There's no need for that at this point. I have everything under control. Just take care of our base at the moment. Make sure it doesn't fall before I get there."
"I will. I wouldn't let anyone order us around, especially the Warlock Council. If they want to attack us, they will get it back tenfold at least. No matter who it is. So take as much time as you need," Kellian told Lucifer.
