Chapter 444: Here to bring you

Finding the explanation feasible, Salazar agreed and decided to step inside.

The maid expectantly watched Salazar, placing her hand on her chest. She was ready to run as soon as he entered inside, but something different happened.

Her face went pale as she saw a person step out of the dark room who was none other than Lucifer.

'H-how is he out? Did that trap not work? That must be the case. If it had worked, he wouldn't be able to come out. What should I do now?' the Maid thought, concerned.

"That's why I don't trust people," Lucifer let out, glancing at Milena.

"Did you not find Milena inside?" Salazar asked, trying to peek through the darkness of the room.

Lucifer shook his head.

"Then what took you so long?" Salazar inquired. "I was just about to enter to see what happened."

"I'm sure you would have. Because that's what she wanted," Lucifer replied, stepping close to the maid. "Aren't I right?"

"Wasn't that what you planned? So tell me.?What should I do to you? Not only did you fail to help us find Milena, but you also tried to trap us?" he further asked, sighing.

"I won't ask you why you did that. I think I already know. But it doesn't change the outcome."

He raised his hand, grabbing the maid by her neck. He instantly crushed her neck but didn't free her. He let his Decay take effect. It was only now that her body completely disintegrated, he retracted his hand.

"There was a trap inside?" Salazar asked Lucifer.

"I'll tell you on the way back. For now, we need to leave. It's going to be bright soon," Lucifer let out, frowning.

He and Cassius left the Royal Palace through the window, going back the same way they came from.

They went back to the Palace where they were staying. Through the open window, they stepped back into their rooms.

Salazar closed the window while Lucifer walked to the nearby table, picking up a water bottle. He started drinking.

The door of the room opened, and Caen also stepped inside. He grew surprised to find Lucifer back. "You're back!"

"Where were you?" Lucifer asked Caen.

"I went to my room to follow the plan. I'm just coming back after sending that maid away," Caen answered. "So, how did it go? Did you find out anything?"

"Yeah. We found out something. We found out that Milena doesn't stay in her room at night," Salazar answered, sighing. "Tonight was a total waste. We still don't know where she actually was the entire night."

"Was she not in the Palace?" Caen inquired, wondering what happened tonight.

"It does seem like she wasn't in the Palace, but he says she was. So you should ask him," Salazar answered. "Anyway, I'll go to take a short nap. He'll tell you what happened."

Salazar left the room and walked back to his room.

Back in Lucifer's room, only Caen and Lucifer were left.

"So tonight was a failure?" Caen asked, sitting on the bed as well.

"Not entirely. If I hadn't gone out tonight, we wouldn't have known a lot of these important things. Tonight was important," Lucifer replied, shaking his head.

"What important things?" Caen asked.

Lucifer explained everything that Predictor told him about how the night would have gone.

"Now we know the powers of Milena, especially the important ones. She is more important than we thought. And we also know a bit about that white haired man. And that Arthur guy. There needs to be more planning involved, it seems," he further said.

"So Salazar and you both died tonight? That's certainly a problem," Caen muttered.

"It seems that way. But I don't think I was purely dead. Something strange happened to me. Unfortunately, Predictor didn't see what happened after that. But we certainly know that the white haired man isn't ordinary," Lucifer let out, frowning.

"I need to take him out too," he continued. "He can see Predictor peeking in our current time from the past. He's certainly a threat."

"I'm still stuck at how the two of you were killed. You think the three of us are enough for this place? Should we really take this risk?" Caen asked.

"Are you scared with just that?" Lucifer asked, amused.

"No. I'm just saying that maybe we should have more people here. Let's call for backup? We're in enemy territory with powerful enemies. You and Salazar are our only offense. You need some backup which I can't provide," Caen explained, sighing.

"Don't worry about such things. I'll deal with them as they come. I'm not that weak to die so easily. I don't even know what happened in his Prediction, but things won't go like that," Lucifer answered.

Sliding his body back, he laid on the bed, resting his head over a soft pillow before continuing. "Now, don't worry and go take a nap. We're going to have a long day ahead of us. Just forget that tonight happened and act normal,"

Caen got up and left the room, still lost in thought. The prediction of how tonight would have gone had slightly phased him, shaking his confidence. Especially because he was completely useless in the dream.

He went back to his room, still wondering how he could help the team more.

He fell on his bed, still lost in thought. He didn't even realize when he fell asleep while thinking.

...

Lucifer was wondering where Milena actually was during the night. On the other hand, Milena was actually standing in front of her room.

Her brows were furrowed as she looked down. She could see some blood droplets on the ground, but there were no bodies here. No traces of bodies were found either.

She couldn't get any smell either, but she had a feeling that someone was killed here. There were certainly intruders here.

"Someone managed to get so far without alerting anyone? Impressive. They killed two of my men without making any noise? Even more impressive," She muttered, smirking. "It seems like I was their target. It could only be them."

Her robe waved as she turned around, waking away.

...

Knock! Knock!

There was a set of knocks on the doors of Lucifer, who only recently fell asleep.

His eyes snapped open as he got off the bed. He wore the cloak and walked to the door.

"Yaaawn!" he yawned, opening the door. "What do you need?"

There were two white robed nobles standing before him.

"Is it time to go for that competition? So soon?" He further asked.

"We are here to bring you to Her Majesty!" The Nobles informed Lucifer.
