Reincarnated as a Failed Villain: Fallen Angel

Chapter 29 Do We Have A Deal?

?Two days later, Lucas and Sarah walked to school just like every other day. Well, almost like every other day. Lilith came to school on the first day and after she noticed Lucas did not show up, she skipped school until he returns here as well.

"Where were you?" Sara kept asking, but Lucas refused to answer. He couldn't tell her he was fighting a king of this kingdom.

"I... Uh... I was just feeling sick." Lucas said awkwardly, but his lie was obvious to Sarah.

"You don't look it..." she sighed.

"Because I'm fine now!" Lucas chuckled awkwardly.

You can see Lilith in the corner, talking to some classmates. Sarah instantly turned to Lucas. " So you two returned to school on the same day?"

"T-That is a coincidence." Lucas stammered nervously.

However, Lilith returned because she was stalking him ever since he fought king Thomas and knew that he was back.

"Oh, hey guys!~" Lilith turned to them with a big smile. "Look who showed up!~" she pointed at Lucas.

Lucas and Sarah exchanged gazes and sighed.

"Uh. Hey, Lilith." Lucas muttered awkwardly.

"Hey, Lilith." Sarah faked a smile, still annoyed that Lucas lied to her about being sick.

"Hi Sarah!" Lilith said cheerfully. "How are you?"

"I've been better." She stared daggers at Lucas.

Lucas rolled his eyes. 'Why is she acting like this?!' he thought. 'Is she jealous or something?' Lucas wondered.

"We're going to be late for class..." Sarah sighed again.

"Yeah, we better go." Lucas agreed reluctantly.

The three headed to their first period, where Lilith and Lucas usually sat together. But this time, Lilith took over the seat near Lucas.

"Ehem." Sarah cleared her throat as she stood beside Lilith. "My friend and I need this table."

"Eh?!" Lilith gasped. "Can't you sit somewhere else?"

Sarah glared at Lucas, who was sitting next to Lilith. "Seriously?"

"D-Don't involve me in childish arguments." Lucas hid his face with a 'MATH' book.

"CHILDISH?!" both girls exclaimed simultaneously. Lilith even jumped from her seat.

Surprised, Lucas turned his gaze to Lilith. 'I swear. These two girls are bigger headache than a hangover and fighting a demon lord combined.'

Lilith gazed at Sarah and smiled after getting an idea. "But why would you want to sit here? Do you like him?" Lilith asked.

"Eh?! Where did you get that idea?!" Sarah exclaimed as her face turned red. "I mean... I guess it's possible."

"Well, if you don't like him... You can find another place to sit in." Lilith showed her tongue.

"Well, do you like him?!" Sarah asked angrily, but before Lilith could answer, Sarah continued, "If you don't..."

"I don't like him. I love him!" Lilith placed her head on Lucas's shoulder.

"EH?!" Lucas exclaimed, completely bewildered.

Lilith looked at Sarah with a smug grin. "See? "

"This B..." Sarah wanted to curse, but stopped. "Fine. I will find another place to sit." she said, defeated.

Lucas was looking at Lilith, who was grinning evilly. He didn't know what to say.

*******************

After school Lukas, Sarah and Lilith walked towards the Elemental park to see a newly opened clothing shop. Both Lilith and Lucas weren't too interested, but Sarah dragged Lucas as punishment for teasing her during classes. Lilith simply wanted to hang out with Lucas longer.

"What are you going to buy?" Lucas asked curiously.

"Nothing." Lilith replied indifferently.

"I need a dress." Sarah sighed. "My parents have a formal party this weekend. I am kinda forced to attend it."

"Hm?" Lilith glanced at Sarah. "Why do we have to go to watch you shop for a dress?"

Sarah stopped and pointed a finger at Lilith. "I wonder as well. WHO THE HELL INVITED YOU?!"

"C-Can I go..." Lucas wanted to ask if he could go home, as he planned to meditate, but both girls instantly interrupted him.

"NO. YOU CAN'T GO HOME!" they exclaimed loudly.

"What?" Lucas blinked in confusion.

"It'll be fun!~" Sarah grinned.

"Indeed!" Lilith agreed enthusiastically. She knew that if Lucas went home, she wouldn't see him till the next day. 'Every minute counts!' Lilith smirked unconsciously.

Lucas stared at Lilith in disbelief. 'Just a minute ago, she complained about going there! I seriously don't understand women.' Lucas sighed and nodded, accepting his fate.

"Alright. Let's go." Lucas gave up.

"Thank goodness." Lilith sighed in relief.

Sarah chuckled and came closer to Lilith. She whispered into her ear. "He gives up fast..."

"At least to you..." Lilith whispered as well, rolling her eyes. "Hey... Today is your day. Can we go to my place tomorrow?"

"Sure." Sarah nodded. "Tomorrow after school."

Lucas's eye twitched in annoyance. 'I give up fast... I swear, if they weren't girls, I would...' Lucas cracked his fingers.

The trio walked to the mall, where the clothing store was located, but Sarah suddenly stopped and pointed at a nearby building. It was a luxurious villa which belonged to one of the wealthy families in the area. Someone set the villa on fire.

"Hm? What's going on?" Lucas asked. He raised his eyes to the sky to see a man in a hospital gown floating above the villa's remains.

"Dorian..." Lucas muttered and looked at the two girls worriedly.

"W-Who would do such a thing..." Sarah asked quietly.

"..." Lilith stood quietly and stared at the demon floating in the air. Her eyes glowed gold as she prepared in case she needed to protect Lucas and Sarah. No matter how much the two girls argued, they still considered each other friends.

"W-What is that?" Dorian sniffed the air, smelling the divine entity. "An angel?"

He didn't notice Lilith, who successfully hid her divinity. She stood there, waiting for Dorian to make a move. But before she could even blink, Dorian was right behind them.

"What is an angel doing here?" Dorian asked.

Lucas and Lilith felt cold shivers. They turned back to see Dorian, who was staring at them with bloodshot eyes. His murderous aura was something neither Lilith nor Lucas felt before.

"Stand behind me." Lucas pulled Lilith and Sarah behind himself. Then he made an eye contact with Dorian. "Hello, Dorian."

Dorian raised his brows in surprise. "Do I know you?"

"No. Not really..." Lucas hesitated. "But I know you."

"How?" Dorian asked suspiciously. Then he glanced at Lucas's friends behind him and smirked. "So, are these beauties your friends?" Dorian was clearly threatening Lucas and his friends.

"They are. How's Elizabeth doing?" Lucas's eyes glowed as he gritted his teeth. He said this, so Dorian would know that if anything happens to his friends; Lucas would kill Elizabeth.

Dorian crossed his arms and asked again. "How do you know my name, mister... Uh...?"

"Lucas. My name is Lucas Ciffer." Lucas answered confidently and extended his hand to Dorian. "It's a pleasure."

Dorian gazed at the hand for a moment and shook it. "So mister Ciffer. How do you know me?"

Lilith stared at the guys and pulled Sarah away. "He'll be fine."

"W-What?!" Sarah protested, but Lucas gave her a confirming nod.

"Dorian is a childhood friend of mine. He just forgot about me." Lucas lied.

Dorian noticed Lucas's pleading gaze and chuckled.

"Oh! Lucas! Sorry. It's been a while!" Dorian placed his hand over Lucas's shoulder. "Can we talk? You know? To catch up?"

Lucas waited for visions to show up, but nothing happened. Dorian, in Lucas's angelic nature, was not a sinner. "That's the plan." Lucas smiled. "Let's talk." Lucas told him after the girls walked away.

"Well... What is an angel doing here?" Dorian asked as he crossed his arms, waiting for an explanation.

"What I am doing here is not your business." Lucas answered confidently. "But I have some business with you, and I think you want to hear me out."

Dorian narrowed his eyes, thinking that Lucas was trying to trick him. But before Dorian could say anything, Lucas came closer to his ear and whispered something that made Dorian's eyes glazed.

"Are you serious?"

"Yes." Lucas nodded. "Do we have a deal?"

"Alright. I swear I won't kill innocents." Dorian raised his hands. "I'll wait... But if you're tricking me..."

"You shouldn't threaten me." Lucas smirked. "You might know my weakness... But I know yours too." Lucas said, thinking about Sarah and Lilith.

"No, no. Nothing like that." Dorian chuckled. "If you are tricking me, your friends will be alright. I will kill their families instead." Dorian smiled wide enough the long fangs protruded out.
