Chapter 993 993:  Intentions

Lucifer married the Empress of the Star Alliance. However, only a few people knew that the marriage was only in name.

The two people didn't hold any feelings for each other. If anything, they were only using each other.

While the Empress of Star Alliance wanted to use Lucifer to come to her Ancestral Land with her to help her, Lucifer wanted to use her influence in return to uncover all the secrets of the Star Alliance and the past.

The sky was covered in darkness as night shrouded the horizon.

Lucifer stood at the balcony, looking at the majestic horizon. As far as his eyes could see, the land belonged to the Star Alliance.

However, he knew that the Star Alliance w wasn't as good as it seemed. He had seen how they destroyed the World of Summons, just because they didn't surrender to the Star Alliance.

It was clear what this organization was going to do, once they found out what his Species was.

"Strength... I need more strength..." Lucifer muttered, as his fists tightened.

Unbeknownst to him, as his hand grasped the balcony's railing, it exerted an immense amount of pressure, causing the railing to crumple and break under his grip.

Letting out a sigh, he jumped out the balcony. In the night where he was supposed to be inside the palace, he jumped out.

His figure could occasionally seem in the dark sky, flying straight toward the Docking Station where all the Ships were stationed.

Back in the palace, Leader of the Royal Guard Lein noticed Lucifer leaving. However, he didn't follow the young man. He simply remained in his place, only revealing a murderous intent in his eyes.

He was in love with the Empress for so long, yet she married that man. He hated Lucifer for stealing the woman he loved! However, he was bound by duty...

"If you ever do anything to hurt or betray her, I'll crush you." He turned his back on Lucifer, taking a sip from the alcohol bottle in his hand. He had already drunk so much alcohol that even his steps had started to stumble.

Blazing through the dark sky, Lucifer flew against the cold winds that brushed against his skin.

After merely a few minutes, he slowed down as he reached the Docking Station. He landed before one particular ship that belonged to him. He was the commander of this Ship.

Now that he could control his Decay willingly, he didn't have to worry about destroying everything he touched.

However, despite all that, he still hadn't gotten rid of his habit of wearing black gloves.

After taking off his right glove, he placed his palm on the door, letting it scan.

With his highest level of Authorization, the door opened without sending any signal to people inside the ship.

Lucifer stepped inside the ship. The door closed on its own behind him.

None of the people inside the ship was aware that he was back. Moreover, his footsteps were always calm, so there wasn't much voice either.

Through the system, he checked where some of his friends were. Moreover, to his surprise, most were in the Command Room. They hadn't fallen asleep in their rooms yet.

Before long, Lucifer reached near the entrance of the Command Room, where the lights were still on. It was clear that most of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.

However, as he came close to the command room, he was able to hear the conversation thanks to his heightened senses. He slowed down.

"He's already abandoned all of us. Why would he ask about me?" Lucifer heard a voice that seemed to belong to Alicia.

"Good riddance. Not like I liked him anyway." She further stated.

Since Lucifer was outside, he couldn't see her. However, the people in the Command Room could see that as she spoke, tears kept streaming down her cheeks.

It was clear that she was only saying that because she didn't want anyone to see her weak side. There was no one here who didn't know that she liked Lucifer... None other than Lucifer himself at least.

Outside the command room, Lucifer stopped in his tracks, not taking a single step forward.

"Exactly. Who would like a guy like him?" Amelia also chimed in, feeling the same way as Alicia. She couldn't show anyone that she liked Lucifer, so she projected a strong front, not realizing that someone was outside the room.

The guys knew what the girls were trying to do. However, they didn't call them out. They were instead sympathetic to them.

"That's right. Other than his strength, what does he even have? His personality is shit! You should be grateful. There's no loss!" One of the guys said, siding with Amelia, so she could get over the feeling of losing something precious.

"Yeah, I'm happy since I won't be seeing his face as much now." Another guy chimed in, giving a fake laugh. "If anything, I feel bad for the Empress!"

However, outside the room, Lucifer heard everything. There was no expression on his face. However, his eyes showed a multitude of emotions.

Without speaking, or entering the Command Room, he turned around and walked away. He stepped out of the ship, gazing at the dark sky above.

"Not like they are wrong." He muttered, talking to himself, as he walked back to the Palace...

Back inside the Command Center, Kellac noticed how everyone was lying about their feelings.

In the end, he couldn't help but chime in, "Are you all done with your nonsense? None of you believe a single thing you're saying, and you all know that! Moreover, so what if he didn't tell us or discuss it with us? Instead of trying to understand his perspective, should we really come to conclusions of our own?"

He further continued, "I don't think he wanted to get married to the Empress either. Even though he didn't tell us too much, it seems that it was the solo decision of the Empress, and not his!"

"Most probably, he himself didn't know about this, and had no choice but to go through with it. Why else would he not even invite his parents to this wedding?" Caen also nodded in agreement. He had been thinking the same, since he noticed that Lucifer didn't look particularly happy either.
