Chapter 466 - 466: Missing

"Don't be naive. Who else do you think is capable of kidnapping Lucifer if not her and her men? They're certainly behind it. That is if he is kidnapped. In that case, going to Milena would be useless," Salazar answered

"And if he isn't kidnapped and left himself, then this thing could get really problematic. Who knows, maybe he went to spy on Milena alone? Or something else? If we inform Milena that he's missing then his entire plan would be screwed," he further added.

"Either we wait for him, or we search ourselves without telling anyone," he continued.

"Where will we search? It's not like he'll be roaming in the city if he's kidnapped? And we can't check every house without being found out by the n.o.bles?" Caen let out, realizing that Salazar's plan was also wrong.

"I guess you're right too. Instead of being hasty, we should wait till the morning and have faith that he left on his own. He should be back by morning."

" Yeah. And if he isn't, then everyone would already know since he won't be attending the event. Then we can see how to deal with it."

And thus, it was decided that the two of them were going to have faith that Lucifer left himself and he wasn't in danger.

Moreover, they also made themselves believe that the reason he didn't tell others was because he wanted a solo mission.

"That's one more problem though," Salazar suddenly let out, frowning.

"What problem?" Caen asked.

"The maid. She's also missing. If he went on a mission, why would he take the maid? But it's the same thing with the other side. If Milena's men took him, then why did he take the maid too?" Salazar asked.

"Argh, this is giving me a headache now. If only we could reach Kellian, we might be able to find him," Caen muttered, frustrated. "Are you sure we shouldn't go to Milena?"

"Yeah. Wait for one day. It's too soon to come to a conclusion now," Salazar nodded even though he was also concerned.

"Fine. We'll wait." Agreeing, Caen started leaving. "Also, since the maid isn't here, I'll check the kitchen to see if I can find something to eat."

He soon vacated the room, leaving only Salazar behind, who simply looked at the city glittering with light

"Where did you go?" he muttered, sighing.

...

After eating the dinner created by Caen, Salazar went to sleep, still slightly concerned about Lucifer.

He only fell asleep when it was two at night. Until then, he continued waiting for Lucifer's return.

It was at four in the early morning when his slumber broke. He rubbed his eyes as he got off the bed.

He left his room and walked to the room of Lucifer.

The room was completely empty even now. Even the bedsheet was properly arranged as if no one had slept in it all day.

The gla.s.s of water which was lying on the table was also full as no one drank water in the room.

"Where did he go?" Salazar muttered, frowning. He walked to the bed and sat, lost in deep thought.

As he looked around, his gaze soon fell on the notebook and the pen which was lying on the table.

"Huh?" This notebook? It wasn't outside the last time I checked. Did he bring the notebook?"

Reaching out his hand, he touched the notebook and picked it up before opening it.

The first page of the book was completely empty, which made him wonder if he was thinking too much, but as soon as he turned the page, his eyes regained their s.h.i.+ne as he believed he had found something.

It was clear that the second page was torn from here.

"If he tore the page, it must be something important. Was something important written here?"

He placed his finger over the third page and started feeling the marks that were left on the third page, which could point him in the right direction. He wanted to know what was written on the page.

He used his eyes as well as his fingers to guess what was written on the pages and just as he expected, he managed to get a clue.

"Hmm? So someone was spying on him from outside? Did he send that page to the spy to let him know that he knew about him?"

"That idiot! Why didn't he tell us about that!"

"That can only mean that he knew about the spy. Moreover, the spy wasn't here to a.s.sa.s.sinate him or kidnap him. If he were, then he wouldn't be spying like that."

"Could it be that he managed to find something from the spy and went with him to investigate? That is certainly a possibility. That could be the only reason why we don't see any battle marks here. Because he went on his own?"

This indeed gave Salazar some insights into what was happening here. But he still didn't know the crux of it. He knew that Lucifer met with a spy and left on his own, but there was no way for him to guess where he went and why.

Ultimately, he left everything on Lucifer and simply hoped that he could return by morning.

Standing up, he left the room and went back to his own.

....

A new day brought itself new opportunities for many n.o.bles and even some ordinary Variants since it was the day where the Divine Empire compet.i.tion was to be held.

A lot of n.o.bles waited for this opportunity since they wanted to show their skills and win the favor of Milena. Some even hoped that they could become n.o.ble Lords after showing a good performance.

While most of the n.o.bles took part in the event just to show their skills and win Milena's favor, they weren't the only ones who took part.

The n.o.ble Lords who already had the highest position also took part in the event; not because they wanted rewards, but simply because they wanted to have fun.

The Colosseum seats started getting filled, and the citizens rushed to take their places, so they weren't late for this big event.

Now only the citizens from the Royal City, but even the citizens from other cities also attended the event, which included some rich families of the Divine Empire too.

Soon, all the seats in the Colosseum were filled by spectators, but still, a really big crowd remained outside the place, unable to enter.

Thousands of people weren't able to gain an entry because the place was already filled before they could arrive.
