Chapter 441 - 441: Changing Future
"What do you mean? Is that another way of yours to insult us? First, you send a subordinate to escort us; then, you don't let your leader meet us. And now you want us to wait for you outside? Nonsense!" Jia stood up, smacking the table.
"There is a limit to insults, and you're crossing it!" She said firmly.
"I don't care what you think. Please wait outside or go back. I have more important things to attend to," Kellian let out without backing off.
....
Predictor received the number of Lucifer and called him, hoping that he wasn't too late..
Lucifer had just jumped out of the Palace, going towards the Royal Palace with Salazar, when he felt a vibration inside his pocket.
Frowning, he brought the glasses out and wore them.
"Predictor?" he muttered, noticing the name. He picked up the call.
"Yeah?" he asked, picking up the call.
"You need to listen to me right now. I think I just saw a Prediction related to you! Where are you right now? What are you doing?" Predictor asked.
"I'm going to the Palace of Milena to take her out. Why?" Lucifer asked, confused. "What dream did you see?"
"Are you going there with Salazar, leaving Caen behind?" Predictor asked. "Did you want him to impersonate you throughout the night?"
"That's right. How did you know that? Ah, that Prediction. Since this much is accurate, the next part should be too. Tell me what you saw?!" Lucifer asked.
"I had a really bad dream. I don't think you should go there tonight! It will turn out to be bad! Go back!" Predictor told Lucifer.
"Nonsense! I'm not going back. Tell me what you saw?" Lucifer asked, not taking the suggestion. "Let me know what happened, so I know how to plan!"
Taking a deep breath, Predictor started explaining. Lucifer also slowed down a little, so he could hear the whole thing.
"She can do that? The Powers of everyone she turned? And Healing? Teleportation? How could she have so many?" Lucifer asked, frowning. He was amazed at the discovery. Milena had so many powers? It was something completely unexpected.
"That's what I saw. Moreover, that white-haired man, stay alert of him. I don't know what, but something is seriously wrong about him."
"I don't know what he was about to go with you, but it wasn't right. Moreover, the strange formatting that appeared all around you? I think it came from your back. I'm not sure what that is, but that's certainly important. So be careful." Predictor soon explained everything to Lucifer, who nodded while profoundly frowning.
"Thanks for the information. I'll see what I can do about it now that I know. Tell me if you see anything else in the future," Lucifer answered before he disconnected the call.
He continued flying towards the Royal Palace and soon reached there. He wanted to be sure about something.
It was just as Predictor had said. Every person was at the exact position where he had described. There was no difference.
One thing was different though. Now he knew that the Nobles could heal, and they were unaffected by sleeping gas. He also knew about the brothers who possessed flames.
Now that he knew the future, he had an idea of how to avoid things becoming a mess.
"Who were you talking to?" Salazar asked Lucifer.
"I was talking to one of my men. He can occasionally see the future. He just told me what he saw. And it doesn't look good,' Lucifer answered.
"What did he say?" Salazar asked.
Lucifer told him everything that Predictor said.
"I died just like that?" Salazar asked, frowning. "It's strange. How was Milena unaffected by my Time Domain? That's odd."
"That's not the only odd thing. In any case, I think it's better that we sneak inside the Palace instead of calling everyone out. That would be much better," Lucifer let out, glancing towards the Palace.
"And how are we going to do that? Their vision is too good. They will see us flying towards the Palace. We'll be found out."
"No. That won't be the case. They won't see us flying towards them because we'll be coming from the top," Lucifer explained.
"What do you mean?" Salazar asked, confused.
Lucifer didn't answer and simply started flying away from the Royal Palace with Salazar. After gaining sufficient distance, he started flying straight up towards the sky.
With Salazar, he went at least a thousand feet above the ground, making sure that even the Nobles wouldn't be able to see him approach the Royal Place.
After gaining enough height, he started flying towards the Royal Palace. He soon reached the Royal Palace, flying a thousand feet above it.
He started flying down.
Soon, Lucifer and Salazar landed on top of the Palace, undetected.
None of the guards were looking at the Palace. Most of them were keeping an eye on the surroundings; thus, they didn't see them.
Lucifer and Salazar moved over to a window. Using his decay, Lucifer destroyed the Window before he jumped inside the Royal Palace.
"This was actually really easy. I wonder why you didn't think of this in the last timeline. It would have saved us so much time," Salazar said, walking in the empty corridor. "Anyway, how are we going to find Milena's room? Should we kidnap a Noble?"
"No. A Noble is extremely loyal to Milena. They would die but won't betray her. It would be useless to go to them. Instead, it might backfire. We need a maid or a servant. Only they can lead us to Milena," Lucifer explained.
He and Salazar started floating in the air, flying on top of the forty-foot-tall hallway, in order to avoid any Noble even if they got here.
They flew through the corridor, searching for anyone who wasn't a Noble. Unfortunately, all they found were white-robed nobles. They avoided the Nobles and continued their search.
It was only after a long time that they found a maid who was walking through the empty hallway.
Lucifer landed in front of the maid and closed her mouth to stop her from screaming.
"Just know, if you scream, I'll kill you," Lucifer warned the maid, who became teary-eyed, nodding.
Lucifer removed his hand from the lips of the Maid. "You chose well. Because you'll die before anyone can come to help you if you scream."
"What do you want?" The maid asked, scared.
"We want you to lead us to the room of your queen. Lead us to Milena's room," Lucifer told the maid.
