Inhuman Warlock Chapter 881: Intruder

Chapter 881: Intruder

“I’ll get fresh, and then I’ll be right back. You can tell Kellian to prepare a squad and for our departure. It’s time we go back to our old base,” Lucifer smiled, patting the shoulders of Kane.

“But… I’m not sure if he’ll even be there now. There’s a good chance he ran away by now,” Kane replied, sighing. “What if he’s not there? I think you shouldn’t go. Kellian would be enough.”

“Oh, don’t worry. He would be right there,” Lucifer lazily stretched his arms. “He wouldn’t leave that place even if he wanted to. Just go to Kellian and tell him what I said. I’ll be right back.”

Finis.h.i.+ng, Lucifer entered his room and closed the door. Kane went to find Kellian.

“Hmm?” As soon as Lucifer entered the room, he felt someone’s presence. He frowned deeply. Who could dare to enter his room without his permission?

He could hear the sound coming from the kitchen, which made him walk there.

“Ah, there you are!” As soon as Lucifer entered the room, he saw the intruder, who seemed slightly pleased to see him here.

“What are you doing here?” Lucifer asked, frowning. “I thought you went to meet your parents in the Divine Empire?”

“Nah. I just called them here instead,” Milena replied as she finished preparing two cups of coffee. He gave one cup to Lucifer before taking a sip from her cup.

“They are in my room with my sisters, talking with your parents. I’ll take you to meet them later,” she added.

“That doesn’t explain why you’re in my room,” Lucifer let out, placing the cup on the table.

“As I said, my room is a little busy. Yours was empty, so I came here,” Milena answered.

“There are many rooms in this building,” Lucifer lazily stated. “I’m sure many of them are vacant!”

“Not enough,” Milena smiled. “So many people are back from life, and some n.o.bles from my Empire are here as well. They took the rooms that were left. We don’t have any rooms left.”

“There’s a hotel nearby,” Lucifer commented. “Take them there.”

“Fine. I’ll tell you the truth. I came here to wait for you.” Milena scratched the back of her head as she accepted the truth.

“And why is that?”

“Because I wanted some alone time with you.”

“You want to talk about something?” Lucifer asked.

“Yeah. I wanted to tell you something I couldn’t tell before others.” After a slight pause, Milena stated.

“Go ahead. I’m listening. Be fast though. I don’t have much time. I need to get going soon,” Lucifer lazily let out as he walked to his wardrobe.

Milena followed behind, placing her cup on the table as well. She seemed a bit hesitant, as if she didn’t know how to say what she wanted to say.

Lucifer opened the wardrobe and went through the clothes to select what he would be wearing.

He brought a white robe and a pure white attire. He had enough bloodshed and fighting. Now he wanted to wear something clean. He took the clothes and turned around.

Milena stood right behind Lucifer. As soon as he turned around, his face came so close to hers that only a few inches of distance remained between their lips.

“Why are you acting so strange? Tell me what you wanted to talk about?” Lucifer asked, taking a few steps back.

Unfortunately, before he could create some distance between the two, Milena grabbed his wrist.

Not expecting Milena to be like this, Lucifer was pulled closer to Milena as the clothes dropped from his hands. The distance between the two decreased even more. Milena could feel Lucifer’s warm breathing on her face.

Her heart was thumping so fast as she tried to gather her courage.

“Do you have a fever or something?” Lucifer inquired. “You aren’t acting like yourself.”

“Shh! Let me speak now!” Milena placed her fingers on the lips of Lucifer, making him stop speaking.

Milena took a deep breath. “I… You.”

“You me what?” Lucifer asked. Her words didn’t make much sense.

“Argh, why does it have to be so hard!” Milena cried, looking up. “Fine! This time for real!”

She closed her eyes so she couldn’t look at the expressions of Lucifer. Even though she was an adult and a powerful Warlock, on the inside, she was still a naive little girl. It was her first time saying something like this. It was also her first time feeling like this!

“I love you!” She exclaimed, keeping her eyes closed.

Lucifer stood blankly before her, hearing her words. This lady… He knew she had lied quite a lot of times to get free from his restrictions in the past. That’s why he had never taken her seriously, but this time, she had no restrictions. Lucifer had long taken off the Bracelet of Limitations from her hands. She was completely free now. The way she spoke, it was as if she was speaking the truth!

Milena sneaking opened one of her eyes, peeping through it like a kid to see what Lucifer’s reaction was.

She noticed the completely stunned look of Lucifer, which scared her even more. He wasn’t saying anything, and she couldn’t decipher anything from her expressions!

After a long time, Lucifer finally opened his lips, letting out one word. “Why?”

“Because you are you! Because you are the one I like! Because you have made me fall for you. The long conversations of ours when you were stuck in a time loop, they made me feel really comfortable and made me know you better. You seem to be really stern and emotionless from the outside, but on the inside, you are a really nice guy.”

“You’ve always stood by my side to protect me. And even when I was a liability, you never left me behind. You are the only person who isn’t a n.o.ble converted by me who cares for me like this. They have a reason to care for me since they’ll die if I die, but you… You are different.”

“You had nothing to do with me, yet you didn’t leave me behind! Even in the Level Seven Dungeon, you protected me and stayed behind alone! Salazar told me everything.”

“So just because I protected you, you love me?” Lucifer asked.

Milena shook her head, looking down. “Not just protection.”

“Ever since I was a little, everyone only wanted me for my powers. No one really thought about my wellbeing. I had to fight to climb to my throne, losing so many things in the process, including my emotions at times. I had completely forgotten what it felt like to be cared for… What it feels like for someone to remember you at times of danger.”
