Chapter 580 - 580: Crashing
In the bottom corner was the name of the person who drew the map. Right above it, his father had written about the location of the map and even the coordinates.
"If you change your mind about attending the wedding, you can join us there." The middle-aged man left the library, leaving Lucifer behind.
Lucifer folded the pieces and kept them in his pocket before leaving the library as well.
With this, he had finished all his goals in this world. Only exit was left.
As he walked downstairs, he again saw Hun.
"You didn't get dressed? I told the maid to get you some nice clothes. Did she not deliver?" Hun asked, seeing Lucifer in old clothes.
"No need. I'm not coming. You can enjoy it."
"You're not coming? Why?"
"Just a little tired. Enjoy the wedding," Lucifer lazily said.
" You're coming from upstairs. Did my father say something? You can tell me! Did he say you shouldn't come?"
"Nope. Instead, I told your father that I'm not coming. That's why I went to meet him," Lucifer replied. "Please don't force me."
"I-i..." Hun didn't know what to say. Was he really forcing here?
He simply watched Lucifer leave, confused at the strange behavior of Lucifer.
He shook his head, not taking this to heart. Maybe he just wasn't in the mood to go out today. It wasn't surprising after what had happened yesterday. He believed Lucifer was slightly intimidated by the Thunder Lion Clan and wanted some time with himself.
He dropped the matter for the next day as he left.
...
An hour passed and the entire Snow Wolf Clan was prepared to attend a wedding.
Yui was also informed that Lucifer and his friends wanted to rest at home and not go. At first, she also talked about staying behind, but after her father's insistence, she agreed.
Everyone left the mansion, leaving only the guests behind.
Lucifer stood in Salazar's room, looking out through the window. He watched the white carriage leave the mansion, going to the Dark Clan.
"Thinking about something?" Salazar asked, stopping beside Lucifer. "Don't tell me you want to attend the wedding?"
"Why would you think that?" Lucifer asked, not shifting his gaze.
"The way she came to help us last time. Even though she wasn't needed, just the gesture itself was a big deal since it was a risky place. For her to come, I can only assume that you two are friends. You also told her where we're from," Salazar replied, smiling.
"It's odd that a friend won't be attending another friend's wedding," he continued, shaking his head. "In any case, why should I even care? We'll be back home soon anyways."
Lucifer kept his hand in the pocket of his hands, not answering Salazar.
"I'll be sitting on the roof. If there's any change, contact me." He opened the window and jumped outside to sit on the roof.
He slightly waved his hands again, calling clouds to give him some shadow, and laid on the roof, closing his eyes.
He didn't know why, but the strange feeling inside him was only increasing since the morning. It was as if he was missing something which he shouldn't. The feeling only increased with each passing second.
He kept his eyes closed and cleared his mind completely. He stopped thinking entirely until it was his time to leave.
His discomfort wasn't over even now. He started going through everything that had happened since he had arrived here to understand what it was that he was missing.
As he was going through his memories, a scene flashed before his eyes... A scene of a stranger lying to her mother to protect him... The same stranger who didn't think about dangers to come help him last night.
The same stranger who looked so serene when she was inside the freezing pond. It was the face of a person who didn't show her sadness, always keeping it hidden by a tough exterior, but her eyes gave her away every time.
As his thoughts were clouded, Lucifer suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
"What nonsense am I thinking! It's her life! I don't need to interfere. I have nothing to do with her! I don't need to go help her..."
There was another part inside him that was trying to convince him otherwise by reminding him that she had come to help him without thinking about anything. It also reminded him that the only reason she was suffering was because of his family!
It was the enemies of his family who had poisoned his family. She was also affected by the same poison. The only reason she had suffered all this while was indirectly because she knew his family.
She was also the last link he had to his family. She was related to his family by the bond of summon. She knew his mother, and she was also much more.
The more he thought about it, the more his conviction weakened.
The last nail in the coffin was the memory of his experience with her in the pond. Even though he was experiencing poison to understand the plight of his family, it still made him feel at peace like he had never felt before.
He believed it was because he was slightly emotional and thinking about his family, but the embrace of Amelia also had something to do with it, no matter how much he didn't want to believe it.
He took a deep breath and held it for as long as he could. After a long time, he let out that mouthful of breath with a sigh.
"Am I really turning soft?" he muttered to himself. "Or is it something else?"
"It doesn't matter. I can think about it later. First, I should help her. If not for anything else, then just to get rid of this strange feeling."
He stood up, stretching his arms before jumping down.
He stopped mid-air before Salazar's room.
"Salazar, come. It seems like we need to crash a wedding."
"Hah, I had a feeling I'll be hearing that," Salazar smirked. He flashed the sharp sword. "I'm already prepared."
"You didn't return the Sword?" Lucifer asked, amused. He thought Salazar would have returned it by now.
"Yeah. I liked it a bit. So I exchanged something for the sword with the owner," Salazar replied. "Anyway, what about Gon? Will we leave him here? What if he's summoned?"
" We're not leaving him anywhere. He's coming with us. Who cares if a bunch of beasts are summoned back with us. It doesn't matter. I've had enough seriousness for a week.. Time to let loose today."
