Chapter 991 991: Royal Wedding

Lucifer understood just what kind of risk he was facing. He was being asked to help a potential enemy become stronger.

'Is this why I supposedly killed her? That doesn't make sense either. Even though she wants to get stronger, that shouldn't be enough for me to kill her in the future. There's something that still doesn't make sense.'

Even if he wanted to kill her like that, why would he do so in a way that makes everyone know that he was behind it? That's what didn't make sense to him. If he really wanted to make the entire Star Alliance turn against him, he could've done that after he was confident enough that he could wipe the Star Alliance completely.

Moreover, in that case, why would he be running from the Star Alliance? Currently, he believed he was already strong enough to face a Star Alliance General after he regained the strength from his other self. Then why was he running away from Star Alliance?

'Or could it be that I wasn't running? Then what? Argh, is it why knowing glimpses of the future is such a headache? It clouds one's judgment to this extent. If I hadn't known, I would've been in a much better condition but now that I know, it's quite troublesome...'

"What are you thinking about? Are you scared?" The Star Alliance Empress asked Lucifer, finding him lost in thoughts. "Don't worry. The Ancestral Realm won't be dangerous for you. You won't lose your life there."

"I didn't want to force you to marry me either, but we don't have any choice in a situation like this. I hope you can help me!" The Empress never lowered her head before anyone in the past, but to ask for Lucifer's help, she even lowered her head.

The Ancestral Realm was only going to allow her an entry if she was married. And just being married wasn't enough. The husband had to willingly enter with her. Even if there was the slightest of hesitation in his heart at the time of entrance, the realm wasn't going to allow them an entry.

That was also one of the reasons why she didn't just marry her without explaining everything, only to force him to enter later.

Lucifer didn't reply even when the Empress misunderstood him. For him, this misunderstanding was much better for him than the Empress knowing his real thoughts.

"Can you tell me just what actually is your identity?" he asked directly. There was no benefit in guessing since he literally had no idea even with all the new memories.

All he knew was that the girl was someone special since she was able to establish the Star Alliance and bring everyone under her.

"You don't need to know that for now. Maybe after our marriage, one day I will."

....

Lucifer and the Empress sat on the platform, having tea together. They were the only ones in the entire Garden, having complete privacy. At least that's what it seemed like. However, now that Lucifer had increased his strength even more, he could sense that there was someone else here as well.

He could feel the disturbance in space in this garden, as if someone was using space to hide themselves. He didn't question this since he didn't want to show what he was capable of. If someone was actually here, he had a feeling that the person was one of the guards of the Empress.

After finishing the tea and clearing some more doubts about the wedding, he finally left the garden.

The Empress watched Lucifer leave in silence. There were a lot of thoughts in her head but her face didn't show any.

"A bloodline that is so special that it can only be described as miraculous... Yet that's not what's most special about him... Maybe this marriage was truly destiny..." The Empress muttered, talking to herself. She was quite impressed by Lucifer.

Even now, the boy wasn't giving her any special consideration at all. He was talking to her as if they were both equal... At least that's what she felt from the way Lucifer behaved.

The sun shone brightly on the beautiful garden of the royal palace, where a grand wedding ceremony was taking place. It was finally the fateful day that every guest was waiting for... The wedding of the Queen of Star Alliance!

It was as if every important organization had sent their most influential person. Amongst the guests, Lucifer could also recognise a few who took part in the extermination of his clan. Unfortunately, he couldn't simply kill them right now.

The queen, resplendent in a white gown, stood at the altar with Lucifer who was dressed in a sharp black attire.

Guests from all corners of the universe had gathered to witness the happy occasion, filling the garden with the sounds of laughter and conversation. A string quartet played soothing music in the background, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The queen and her Empress exchanged vows in accordance with the Star Alliance tradition, promising to support each other for eternity.

In the corner of the crowd, the crew of Lucifer was also present, including everyone that he brought from Earth to help him maintain the ship he received.

"It looks like we all lost that bet," Kallac sighed, gazing at Lucifer standing on the altar. "It doesn't matter though. As long as he finds his happiness, nothing else matters. Moreover, the woman he's marrying... I suppose she's really qualified to stand beside him..."

Cassius sighed. "Is she still not coming out of the ship to attend the wedding?"

"She isn't. She says she needs to do some maintenance, but we all know that she just doesn't want to be here, don't we?" Kellian answered, shaking his head in disappointment.

Lucifer and the Empress exchanged the rings, and were finally declared husband and wife. The marriage was completed, taking only twenty minutes from the start to the end.

Even as Lucifer stood at the altar, he could feel many piercing gazes on him, one in particular which attracted his attention a lot.
