Chapter 463 - 463: Let Me Show You
"What about that time?" Sirius asked.
"I want to know why you didn't help her in killing the King and the Prince? With your power, revenge should've been easy for you," Lucifer responded.
" You could've found out about her sisters and helped her in revenge; instead, you made her walk on the path which was to lead her to conquer the continent. It doesn't seem like a coincidence. It was planned, wasn't it?"
"You wanted to use the girl as soon as you saw her awaken? But that also raised a question. How did you know what she was going to be like in the future? How did you know how powerful her powers were going to be in the cell? She hadn't used them to that extent."
"That's why, at first glance, it seems like you couldn't have planned it, but the things that happened after that made me believe you had another ability."
"It was because of that other ability that you knew about her powers and her potential, which was why you led her on that path. Isn't that right?"
After talking about his theory, Lucifer left the question to Sirius to answer..
"That's right. I planned everything," Sirius answered, smiling. "What can you do about it? Will you tell her? You can go ahead."
Seeing how straightforward Sirius was, Lucifer grew stunned. He hadn't expected him to be this open. Was he accepting everything without even trying to deny it?
But he also understood why. So what if Lucifer knew? That wasn't going to help him in anything. He was still an enemy in Milena's eyes. She wasn't going to believe him.
"That's true as well. She won't believe me. That's probably why you told me so openly." Lucifer nodded. "But that's still surprising. Why don't you tell me more about that reason?"
"Sure. Let me begin from the start. The day I met Milena..."
Sirius acted like a good man and didn't say no, which shocked Lucifer even more.
Even if he wasn't scared about being exposed, that still was too much. Why was Sirius that eager to talk? It was just too convenient, which was making him suspicious.
"That girl was too scared. She couldn't even look at me without shivering in fear. Moreover, she constantly cried. She was such a crybaby. Want to know another truth? I wasn't actually the one who helped her. I just helped myself."
"Everyone believes that I was the person who was assigned to guard her, and I took pity on her to help her. But that couldn't be far from the truth. I wasn't a guard there. Instead, I was the Prince," Sirius let out, talking in a calm tone.
"Prince?"
"That's right. I was the Crown Prince of the Arian Empire, Sirius Arian. I was also the person she was supposed to be with when she grew up."
"She was to be brought to me as soon as she was brought to the Empire, but I saw her entering the Palace. It was right then when I realized who that girl was."
"I also discovered the secret of her abilities that even she herself didn't know about," Sirius explained to Lucifer.
Lucifer wasn't the only one hearing it though. The maid was also hearing everything. Her face was already pale at this discovery. She couldn't believe it.
She had heard many secrets in the Palace, but no secret was as big as it
"You were Arian Prince? If that's the truth, then why did you scheme this then? Why did you have your own Empire destroyed? What did you plan to gain with all this?" Lucifer asked.
"Why did I do it? The answer is very simple. But I can't tell this to you here. First I need to show you something. Only after that can I tell you. Then you'll understand better."
"What do you want me to see?"
"You'll understand soon enough. That's all I'll say here. If you want the answers, you'll follow me. But if you're too scared, you can just stay behind," Sirius responded as he stood up.
"Oh right. I wasn't sent here by Milena to spy on you. If I were here for that, I wouldn't be standing in the garden. I would've been standing in your room then. I came because I wanted you to know, and I want you to join me and help me."
" If you follow me, you'll see what I'm talking about. But if you don't follow me, you'll lose the opportunity of a lifetime."
Sirius jumped out the window. His body appeared to have grown extremely light as he landed on the ground.
Lucifer also walked to the window, looking out. He could see Sirius walking away.
"He wanted me to know? Intriguing. I wonder what it is. I guess I'll have to see," Lucifer let out, determined. He also jumped out the window and followed after Sirius, having no idea as to what he was going to see.
...
Half an hour after Lucifer left, the maid also left the Palace too. Her heartbeat was beating at a rapid pace as she couldn't believe what she had just heard.
She had never acted as a spy to Milena. She didn't even tell her that Lucifer and his friends had left the mansion, but now she couldn't stop herself. She couldn't believe that Milena was being fooled by someone so close.
She wanted to tell Milena to help her.
She ran straight to the Royal Palace, ensuring that she didn't come across Lucifer or Sirius. She was extremely serious about her safety.
After treading a long path, she soon reached the Royal Palace before she finally slowed down. She was still panting as she stepped closer to the Royal Palace.
Even the guards of the Palace knew her. They allowed her entry.
"Where is Her Majesty? I need to talk to her urgently!" She told one of the Nobles inside the Palace.
"She's in her room," the Noble answered. "Let me escort you to her. But make sure what you want to talk about is actually important. She might punish you otherwise for wasting her time."
"It is important. Please take me to her," the maid said, respectfully bowing.
The Noble started escorting the maid upstairs.
Arthur was walking in the dark marbled hallway, not in any hurry.
He noticed the maid walking with another Noble.
He stopped near the maid and asked, "What are you doing here? Did something happen with the Warlock Council members that you had to come here?"
"N-nothing happened with them. I'm here to talk to Her Majesty about something else," the maid answered.
