The Demon's Bride

Chapter 414: Second Examination-III



Chapter 414: Second Examination-III

"Malphas," Lucifer snapped his fingers and his servant quickly trotted toward their side. If there was a way for Malphas to voice out his opinion at this moment, he would say how difficult it is to breathe with the two High Demon in a stifle place like a cave. Why does the prince of Hell live in a cave, anyway? Even his Lord would like castle better than cave. How poor of a taste.

"Why do I feel like your servant is blathering impudent words from his mind?" Leviathan suddenly spoke and Malphas felt his heart leaped.

He carefully threaded his eyes toward his master. Well, indeed earlier Lucifer had tried to sell him to the shadows earlier as a pet food but just maybe this time he won't do it?

"That's his bad habit. If you are offended, you can turn him to pet food again. I won't mind it," Lucifer's words were akin to a sharp blade cutting the string of blade on a guillotine.

Malphas quickly ran and placed the boxes in front of Leviathan and made a run to the cave's walls as if to be one with it so the two high demons wouldn't remember he was present in the cave.

Lucifer spoke, "Back to what we were talking. I would like to explain about my banishment from Heaven first. You must have known I have been accused of killing Seraphim."

"And it was wrong?" Leviathan asked.

"Very wrong," Lucifer's red eyes went deeper in hue, "Not that I minded if they banished me from Heaven. I don't like the place either as I was planning to move to Hell but I am a fox who once hold a grudge will never forget it until my death. Shorting my words, there are traitor in Heaven, amongst the angels."

Leviathan chuckled suddenly, "I seem to be at lost now. Are you against Heaven or trying to help Heaven?"

"Me?" Lucifer raised his shoulders, "If there is one of the most beautiful thing I found in Hell and living world, it would be death and war, my friend. I don't hate Heaven but I am someone who doesn't care whether I hate or I like it when it comes to destroying places or people. When I found something that shines in my eyes, there is just this itch in me that want to destroy it. I can destroy Heaven without a reason and it's just this time I had reason."

"You are very alike to your fame," a war and death addict, added Leviathan in his mind.

"Why thank you," Lucifer grinned, "I don't think I have to express how I harbor a deep grudge against this traitor who had killed Seraphim because they put a stain to my clear white fame."

"It had been black since the beginning," murmured Malphas who couldn't help himself but chide and a second after his words, he disappeared from his place and turned into a doll.

"What does this have to do with my daughter?" Leviathan ignored the servant who changed into a doll who appeared similar to how the servant looked like except it had turned into fabric and cottons.

"Well, this traitor is hunting for your daughter's life," and Lucifer watched how the leaves that was around the cave and the luscious trees outside the cave combust to ashes. There was a time where Lucifer imitate this power of Leviathan but upon seeing the Demon's power, now he was sure of how the authentic prowess of the Prince was very much different than his that it could put him to shame.

"A bird of mine then whispered about how they heard that you wish to kill my nephew. He isn't of a good morale like me, but I know how loyal he is to the people who he loves and treasure. You won't regret my offer if you agree to their marriage. I will help you to get rid of those people who is hunting for your daughter's life," Lucifer drew his fingers on the air, "Fair trade?"

"Tell me more about the traitor first and I will think whether or not to agree with this," Leviathan strained his words and although it appeared as if there was still negatives on the offer for Lucifer, the Duke of Hell appeared unbothered. Lucifer had the confident that everything would play right to how he orchestrated as he knew he would always get what he wanted.

When Lucifer left the cave, the doll turned into a his previous form, "Um... Milord."

"What?" Lucifer questioned.

"I was wondering if this is truly what you wished for? It's... the girl is the Demon's bride who is destined to kill Lord Ian," Malphas hesitantly reminded his master. He couldn't understand why his Lord would agree his nephew to marry the woman who was foretold to kill her groom. He even went as far as offering help to the father of the girl which was very strange form his usual antics.

Lucifer turned to look at Malphas and rolled his eyes, "I wonder why you aren't only clumsy but also stupid fool. Did you truly think I had came to meet Levi for the sake of my nephew? It's one of the goal but don't be tricked," the man's smile on his handsome face spread wider, his black lashes gleamed with amusement. "And although I don't want my beloved nephew to die. I think it isn't my place to stop him from marrying a woman he want to marry. Everything goes back to the choices in his hand. If he ends up with wounds, he will learn and I will be there to save him from death."

Malphas gave the Lord a look and when Lucifer raised his brows as if urging him to speak the servant said, "Is that all the reason it is there, Milord?"

Lucifer chuckled, Malphas was clumsy, fool, and some times a good decoy but he knew him well and that was one reason why he had taken him as his servant, "Certainly not. There is also amusement. I have been separated from fun events so I want some spice. Call Beelzebub to meet me. In flesh," Lucifer pressed his last word. Malphas bowed and took a step back to change into a black crow and flew across the place.

The next day appeared faster than a blink and came the day where the second examination came. Elise entered the carriage with Ian beside her. When she looked at him from the window, she noted how his lips glimmered with a smile, "Nervous for the examination?"
