Majestic doors separated Lucifer and the others. The doors were pushed open by two guards, revealing the beautiful sight inside.
The floor inside the Royal Chamber was made purely from white marble that was spotlessly clean. The walls weren’t much different either. However, some gold engravings were present on the wall that seemed beautiful.
The place… It truly looked like it belonged to a queen. Through the door, Lucifer could see almost everything inside. He noticed a throne straight in his line of sight at the end of the chamber.
On the throne, there sat a beautiful woman on the beautiful throne that had some shade of blue. The woman seemed a bit pale, which was further highlighted because of her beautiful silver hair. She was wearing a beautiful white gown that wrapped around her tall figure firmly.
The woman’s eyes looked straight into the eyes of Lucifer. As both the gazes met, Lucifer felt something odd. He didn’t know what it was about this woman, but something wasn’t right. He just couldn’t put his finger on it.
There were two rows of chairs on each side of the ball. The two-star members of the Star Alliance sat in the front while the one-star members sat in the ending seats. Lucifer could see that there were around thirty people in the ball, and all of them were either captains or Generals. So he was literally in a place filled with the strongest people in the universe, ready to be judged.
There was another person that attracted his attention. It was a young man who had two stars on his chest. Lucifer recognized the man as he was the one who had interrogated him last time as well. Not only that, but he was also the one that had attacked him in the future when he went there.
This man was also the reason Lucifer knew how strong the Two Star members could actually be.
The man also observed Lucifer looking at him. He didn’t know why that was the case. He had noticed it last time as well. As for why Lucifer did that, he didn’t understand. Was there some secret?
Standing still in his daze, Lucifer was still standing at the entrance while the old man had already walked inside.
The two captains in the back pushed the shoulders of Lucifer, bringing him out of his daze.
Lucifer stopped looking at the man and calmly stepped inside the chamber as well.
He stood in the center of the hall, where everyone had a clear view of him.
“You are in the presence of Her Majesty; go down on your knees!” The old man commanded Lucifer, who was still standing.
Frowning, Lucifer went down on one knee only.
“Your Majesty, he is the man. We brought him here. We can begin the proceedings.” The old man declared.
The queen simply nodded her head. “Good work. You can sit now.”
Following the queen’s command, the man went back to the seat near the front, which was left empty.
The two one-star captains still stayed behind Lucifer.
“We can begin the proceedings. Identify yourself.” The queen said, gazing straight at Lucifer.
“I am Lucifer Azarel. And I’m a member of the Star Alliance. I don’t know why I’ve been summoned here, but I know I’m innocent,” Lucifer explained.
“That’s for us to decide if you’re innocent or not! Just answer the question!” A General scolded Lucifer.
Lucifer didn’t respond. However, he found this situation quite funny. If he had his way, these people wouldn’t have dared to speak before him, let alone scold him.
“Do you know about Baltics? Have you ever interacted with them?” A question came from another General.
“I know them. They were what we called Dungeon Dwellers. They were the monsters who appeared in our world mysteriously and started attacking the humans. All the Variants fought them. We had been living like that for decades. However, it’s only recently I found out that they were known as Baltics.”
“So you didn’t know they were Baltics?”
Lucifer shook his head.
“How did you find out they were Baltics?”
“Their King, Licorice, told me when I accidentally entered his Dungeon,” Lucifer answered.
“Accidentally… Interesting. We heard you were the one who wiped out the Baltics? You killed their King? May I know why you did that? Did you take revenge for what they did to your family?”
“To my family? I don’t know what you’re talking about. My family is perfectly safe back on earth. My father and my mother, both of whom are human, haven’t been hurt by Baltics.”
“We aren’t talking about your human family. We are talking about your real family. You probably didn’t know that the so-called Dungeon Dwellers were Baltics, but as you claimed, you recently found out.”
“That made you want revenge for them leading their people to destroy yours? Isn’t that right? Because as you claim, you recently found out what they were, and you killed them right after. So, tell me. What do you know? Where are your other family members? How did they survive last time? When did you last meet them?” The General asked, thinking he had caught Lucifer.
“One correction. I didn’t kill them after I found out who they were. For me, the name Baltic was completely irrelevant since I didn’t even know what it meant. And secondly, I didn’t destroy them. Instead, I ran away when I realized how strong they were. I sent my people away and snuck out myself after the King of Baltics broke the Dungeon and left.” Lucifer explained.
“You’re claiming you didn’t kill them?” Asked an old man.
“Yes.” Lucifer nodded.
“Play the sound!” The old man commanded.
A sound started playing in the back, which appeared like a recording of Lucifer telling Maya that he had killed the Baltics.
“You know lying before us is a crime? And on top of that, you dare lie after confessing?!” The old man yelled.
Lucifer took a deep breath as he looked down. “I’m not lying now. I had lied but not now. I had lied before.”
“When Maya talked to me, I was with my people. So I had to lie to her that I killed Baltics because I had told the same lie to my squad.”
“As I said before, I had run away in fear since I wasn’t strong enough to face them. I don’t know how, but some dragons came from the sky and destroyed the Baltics. I don’t even know what happened to the King. He either left the world, or he was killed by the Dragons.”
“I just took the credit for that attack to show off before my people… It was an honest mistake since I wanted some praise. I made a mistake. However, as I said, I’m not lying before the High Council. Instead, I had lied before Maya to save my reputation!”
