Inhuman Warlock Chapter 875: the meet

Chapter 875: the meet

The lift stopped on the top floor. Lucifer had been to this floor many times when he ruled over this place. In fact, he even stayed here, but this was the first time he was feeling so nervous in coming here.

He was finally going to meet his family after so long. And they were going to see him as well.

His heart was thumping. Even as the lift opened, he didn't step out. It was as if his feet were frozen in fear.

He was a Warlock who was never scared of anything. Unfortunately, today was the day when he did.

Eve held his hand firmly. By now, she had realized that his decay was gone. Holding his hand, he stepped out of the lift. Lucifer stepped out with her. The lift door closed, and the lift went down.

"Beyond this door should be your family. I can open it, but I think you should be the one to do it," Eve told Lucifer, stopping before the door.

Lucifer nodded. He knew he had to take the step. No matter how worried he was about their reaction to what he did, he needed to face them. The decisions of his were right, according to him. So even if they felt bad or disgusted, he knew he was still going to feel the same about his decisions. Even though their reaction was going to hurt him, he was still going to stand tall.

Taking one more breath, Lucifer knocked on the door.

He could feel some footsteps getting closer to the door. Each of the footsteps was in perfect sync with his heartbeat.

Click~

Following a clicking sound, the door opened as a figure looked out.

"It's you!" An excited voice came. "I knew you would come here. Welcome, welcome to your castle!"

"It's good to meet you as well, Kellian." Lucifer smiled.

Kellian moved aside, revealing the entire hall behind him. The hall was nothing like Lucifer had remembered. It was as if it was renovated by the Warlock Council after the war. It looked more intact and clean. Everything was in its place.

Lucifer took his first step inside the hall. Eve entered after him.

Inside the hall, Lucifer saw so many familiar faces. There was Alicia standing near the window. She was standing with Milena and Clarisse.

On the couch, there was his father with a gla.s.s of wine, sitting with Salazar and Yaliza.

Seeing Lucifer enter the hall, everyone who was sitting stood up. Everyone wanted to go talk to Lucifer, but they knew it was time for his parents.

Lucifer stood frozen, s.h.i.+fting his gaze between his father and his mother. It was as if he was back in time when he was five years old, and they were back home.

Zale placed the gla.s.s of wine on the table and started walking toward Lucifer. He could see similarities between the little boy he had left behind and the man he had grown up to be. He was so proud of his son.

Lucifer opened his lips to speak, but no words came out.

Zale didn't need any words to understand what Lucifer was trying to speak. Everything was evident in his eyes. They were talking through emotions.

"You have grown up so much," Zale said. "It's just yesterday you couldn't even reach my waist, but now you're as tall as me." Zale smiled as he spread out his arms to hug Lucifer, but before he could even get close, another figure rushed past him.

A figure of a woman rushed past Zale and hugged Lucifer tightly. The figure belonged to Clarisse, who had also frozen momentarily, wondering if she was dreaming. As soon as she came out of her daze, she flew straight into Lucifer's arms.

Clarisse hugged Lucifer. It was as if her life depended on it. The dam of her tears was broken as she started sobbing like she was a little girl. Even though Lucifer wasn't her real blood, for her, she was his real mother. She had helped him grow up like he was his own. She had grown attached to him.

Even though it was a bit off to see him all grown up but her love was still the same.

Tears kept dripping down her cheeks. Her eyes became red. "I am sorry! I am sorry for not being there when you needed me! I am really sorry!"

Lucifer had thought they were going to scold him for what he did since their mindset was against such kinds of things, but instead of scolding him, they were asking him for forgiveness?

As expected, his parents really loved him a lot. They didn't ask him about what he had done in the last few years at all, even though he was sure that they knew about him.

"Right. We are sorry. Please forgive us." Zale also hugged the two of them from the side. "I should've been more careful and less trusting of those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. If only I had an idea about what they were planning. Forgive us... It's because of us you had such a hard life!"

Standing in the back, Eve had a bright smile on her face. She was so happy for Lucifer. Nothing he was worrying for happened. Instead, everything was going great. The family was reunited.

After a long time, Lucifer responded. "You did nothing wrong. Don't blame yourself. The ones who were to be blamed got the punishment. It's all in the past now."

Milena watched Lucifer's family reunite. She couldn't help but wonder if her reunion was going to be like this too. Her family was back in the Divine Empire. She wanted to go there right away, but first, she wanted to make sure that Lucifer was fine. That's why she stayed here and waited for him. Now that he was here, she could leave.

After a long time, Lucifer was freed. His family brought him to the sofa, thinking he must've been tired. The others vacated the couch and thus began a long conversation session where Lucifer and his family talked nonstop. His family asked him everything he went through. They had heard that from Salazar, but they wanted to hear from Lucifer now! They wanted to feel everything.

Lucifer talked about everything from the beginning to the end, not hiding anything. There were some things that he said that even Salazar didn't know, like meeting the man on the other side of the Portal and talking to him. It was as if Lucifer laid his entire life bare before them in this place, which helped everyone understand him better.
