This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
"You are back."As the door of the bedroom opened, the Empress of the Star Alliance opened her eyes, glancing at Lucifer in the distance.
Lucifer didn't say anything. He simply walked to the nearby couch and laid down.Resting one leg over the other, he closed his eyes and didn't speak anything else.
Even though they were only married in name, they still couldn't sleep in separate rooms. For the Palace, they at least had to show that they were actually married.
Moreover, the Empress already knew that many people called Lucifer a Puppet husband. She didn't want to give any validity to those rumors, which was why she had told him to sleep in her room.
"You look like you're in a bad mood." The woman waved her hand, locking the door.
The only reason she left it open until now was because she didn't want Lucifer to be locked outside. However, she really expected him to not return tonight, at least not this soon.
"Did something happen?" The woman asked after receiving no response.
"Why do you care?" Lucifer lazily asked, without even opening his eyes. "You don't need to concern yourself with my matters."
"Why won't I concern myself with the matters of my husband?" The woman jokingly asked. "Did someone say something to you?"
"Nothing happened. I just realized a few things..." Lucifer answered.
"Oh? And what would that be?" The woman asked.
"It's that you talk a lot," Lucifer sarcastically answered.
For a moment, his response stunned the Empress of the Star Alliance, who expected him to seriously answer. It was rare for a person to talk to her so openly, since mostly people were very reserved around her.
However, the man before her didn't care about her authority or how much power she held. The way he talked to her was as if he was talking to an ordinary person.
Even though the woman was stunned, she didn't realize that a genuine and intrigued smile had developed on her face.
"I never had anyone to talk to. In the past, everyone-"
"If you're going to tell a sad backstory, then you don't need to. I have no intention of actually getting close to you." Lucifer interrupted, not letting the woman finish.
He knew that the woman was going to become his enemy in the future, the moment his reality was out.
Moreover, he had also seen a future where he personally killed her. He didn't want to get close to her... If there was ever a day where he had to kill her, he didn't want to be held back by any emotions.
"You're quite rude, you know that? Do you realize I can kill you right now?" The woman asked, revealing a frown.
Her body rose in the air as she floated before Lucifer, standing right next to the couch.
"No you won't." Lucifer retorted, without even turning around. "You need me. You can't kill me until you get what you want."
"Now if you're done playing around, get back to the bed and stop playing the villain. You aren't cut to be one..."
Lucifer waved his hand, casting a lightning barrier between him and the Empress of the Star Alliance, cutting off any outside noise from disturbing him.
The woman stood on the other side of the barrier, frowning. The more she got to know the young man, the more intrigued she became.
Moreover, she didn't know why, she felt a strange feeling from Lucifer, as if he was dangerous. For someone like her to feel that, it was clear that he was stronger than many people knew.
In the end, she turned around and didn't fight. She just wanted to scare Lucifer, but that didn't work.
"You're right. I can't kill you until I get what I want. However, if you do help me get what I want, you'll be the savior of the Star Alliance. I can't kill you even after that. I know how to repay my favors. So sleep well... My dear husband."
The woman shook her head as she laid on the bed. She didn't realize when she fell asleep. However, when she woke up in the morning, she noticed that the couch was empty. Lucifer wasn't inside the room.
She stepped out of the room after getting dressed, only to realize that she was very late. It was already afternoon. She never slept so long, and that too, in someone else's presence. That was the calmest night she ever had.
As she stepped out so late, most of the maids looked at her with great interest. Even though they didn't reveal on their faces, the Empress could see in their eyes what they were thinking.
All the maids thought that Lucifer and the Empress worked hard on bed until late, which was why their Empress was left so tired and woke up late.
The Empress of Star Alliance didn't bother with explanation. Instead, she directly asked, "Where is Lucifer?"
"Lord Lucifer is... Ah, he is..." The maids slightly hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Speak!" The Empress' tone turned darker, seeing the hesitation of the maids.
"He's fighting Lord Lein!" One of the maids exclaimed, scared out of her wits.
"What?!" The Empress was stunned. Lein was the leader of her Personal Guards, and one of the strongest warriors of the Star Alliance.
"Where are they?!" She asked.
****
"Do you think I'll go easy on you?" Lein asked with a curious tone, his eyes scanning the vast battle arena of the Star Alliance, stretching over a distance of at least twenty kilometers. He couldn't help but wonder why Lucifer was so determined to engage in a fight.
As for Lucifer, he stood on the opposite side with a spear that appeared to be crafted from black lightning.
During the event, several high-ranking officers from the Star Alliance were present to witness the battle.
Although the battle had been planned as a training exercise, Lucifer had a different goal. His true intention was to eliminate Lein, albeit under the guise of an "accident."
