Chapter 473: I Invite Myself-III
Far away in the lone corridor of the house which settled on the church, a person walked leisurely as if he knew the place when it had been his first time to visit the building. His eyes looked around the place. Disregarding the pitch darkness with only a small light of the moon to help, Lucifer could still see everything well as if it was morning.
"Master..." Malphas nervously called, locking two fingers together, his expression wasn't the greatest.
"What?" Lucifer snipped, "Scared of the darkness?" Though it wasn't possible for a Demon to be scared of darkness one cannot forget this was Malphas, the most chaotic Demon servant in Hell who was afraid of a Hellmond jellyfish.
"Uh... that isn't it, Milord. We are late, very very late and they won't be happy," reminded Malphas. His master was known to be one of the most popular Demon for his behavior that lock horns with other high Demons. While Lucifer had the high position, only a few actually respected him and many avoided him to stay on their equilibrium.
"My reputation is already pitch black and coming late isn't the problem when I came there uninvited. I am rather more curious to see this Angel my nephew mentioned. Think of this as an honor because not everyone get the honor to meet me," Lucifer stopped his feet and Malphas who didn't know his master stopped bumped to his back. The servant quickly went three steps back when he hit another wall.
Having the habit of bumping and falling, Malphas turned to apologize only for his eyes to stop as he remembered there shouldn't be any wall or people behind him. Then who was it that he bumped?
"Expecting for more was my mistake. I thought I can meet someone like Michael or Raphael but then it is you, Camael. What name do you go by in the human world?" Lucifer questioned without looking back.
Malphas who stuck between the two angel where one of them had turned to the dark side felt the tension arises that not only his skin could feel but his heart that raced in response. The moon that was hidden beneath the cloud was lifted up, receding the shadow which disappear in diagonal line, revealing his hair before completely showed his golden eyes.
Lucifer turned to meet Redrick, watching the golden eyes with his own golden eyes which he could change at will.
"This is not a place for you to be here, Lucifer. I have warned you. Begone!" A clear anger twisted Redrick's face. He had been a gentle person but no one could ever remain gentle in anger as even the most silent sheep in the group could bite the shepherd if things angered them.
"What if I don't?" Lucifer grinned and he raised his hand which Redrick who had been wary of him took the three books all at once, "I came to do an errand which my cute niece in law wanted me to do. She is going to get married and I cannot possibly miss granting her wish when I had the chance to grant it, right?"
"Lucifer becoming a gopher?"
"I would like to name myself as a respectable Uncle in law, Luci," Lucifer raised both his arms as if to show he is harmless but it didn't work therefore he threw the act and put back on the wicked look on his face, "I can't be more hated than I already am. It is nostalgic to see you again, Camael especially when our last meeting was when you caught me along with the other angels."
"You got what you deserve for killing Seraphim! I knew it. It was wrong for angels to ever attempt the idea of trusting you. While you are an angel you have fallen so low to Hell that you could kill your own brother," Redrick clenched her hands in anger. More words spilled from his mouth and more creases form on his forehead, "Tell me. Tell me why you killed him!"
Lucifer crossed his arm and hummed. While he knew he was innocent, it didn't mean he would come running to everyone demanding for them to trust him. Not only was it hard to believe for the great Lucifer to be blameless, it was pathetic act for him to ever endeavor.
A smug smile appeared on Lucifer's face as he took the silence approach that only snapped Redrick to anger. "Shush," Lucifer raised his finger. "You wouldn't want those kind innocent soul to die, right?"
"What do you want?!" Redrick demanded for his answer. "If it is revenge against Heaven I would advise you not to. Justice will always triumph against evil. Father above knows what you are planning and he would not allow you to come to Heaven ever again. Not even one of your toes could get inside."
"Should we try?" taunted Lucifer which was enough to get the angel more riled and he pointed his finger to the second floor again, reminding him of the humans who slept above them. "If tomorrow I plan to visit Heaven or if I plan to kill you now; know, that I would be capable doing so every second we have now. I can barge in Heaven as I like and no one would ever stop me."
"Don't you dare—"
"Worry not because I won't," Lucifer showed a wide smile that had Redrick to doubt his words, the Archangel believe not a single word coming from him as he was the second to Satan whose power was no less than the King of Hell. Lucifer continued, "I decided to go on other approach because my niece have a blood of an angel with her. Also, I only get even on people who had messed with me first. Unless the whole Heaven is my enemy I won't raise Hell there. Remind those in Heaven so that they won't be in my list or they would regret it. I love to invite myself in events people don't expect me to come."
And like that, Lucifer disappeared from the building, followed by Malphas. Redrick clenched his fist tighter and hit them to the wall, anger twisted the muscle on his face as he was angry that he was unable to do anything against Lucifer even while the Demon threatened him. Remembering Lucifer's words, Redrick then left the house, letting his wings go appear on his back and left to remind the Angels of what happened that day and the warning which Lucifer had declared.
While the Heaven was busy, so was the White Mansion as the most important day of the land had came.
