"Call the dukes, duchess and everyone who ranked high, for a meeting." Lucifer ordered. And all of the servants hurriedly do his orders, they were so nervous not only about Lucifer's expression but also the idea of knowing that there'll be up coming war between the brothers of all.
His isn't that calm it's more like he's actually enjoying this. He's smiles creeps all the people here same goes with me.
What is it that he really want to gain for, is it because he want to prove to Phantom that he's more suitable in his position? Or is it something more??
____________________________
As the meeting ended he hurriedly go back to his room and as usual i follow him, as his assistant.
As he rest his back in the chair and sigh, he pushed his hair up and i felt my stomach flutter but this kind of view is somewhat new for me. I never saw him this restless this is the first time and me with him.
I keep having these feeling that he kept staring at me these past few days, its like he has something to say to me but i can't say it i don't want to assume anything anymore and it'll just hurt me more.
He opened his table's drawer and the creak sound made me came back from reality.
I was stunned as i saw what he just grabbed from his drawer. It was a knife, a very beautiful knife to be exact that made me mesmerized it actually has an engraved of some kind of snake style on it and its like a glass type of knife. It shine even more as the lights from the window reflects with its beauty.
"I.." he said and put down the knife in his table.
"I want to ask a favor." and touched the knife slowly once again as he walks closer to me.
"Y-yes?" i was stuttering as i find his expression is no like the Lucifer i know. He was like kind of sad?
He stop right in front of me and gave me the knife but i didn't grab it as i don't know what he means by that.
"If ever the war against the Phantom and me happened and i was no longer me, to the point I'll be able to kill everyone i see and destroy my own kingdom.." he said while looking down at the knife he was still holding, and still pointed at me.
"I.. want you to kill me, with this." as he said those word my jaw almost drop as my eyes widen still can't believe if i was just mistaken by what i just heard.
But i wasn't..
"W-what do you mean?" i asked him with my voice cracking almost want to cry but i can't do that, not in front of him. I don't want Lucifer to see more weak sides of me. But..
"I already said it. So.. Please do it for the sake of my peoples." i can feel the sincerity in his voice, i bit my lower lip to control myself from crying but somehow it's no use as my tears already formed in my eyes. But i tried to look down just for him not to see these tears of mine.
And i grab the knife he gave me with my hands trembling.
'Is this really my punishment?'
'To kill someone i love the most with my own to hands.'
As i thought about that and felt that the knife is now in my hands, my tears can't no longer stop as i look at Lucifer.
"You have to promise."
But i saw his face not crying, not angry, nor calm. He has a sad expression like he's almost crying as well deep inside his heart and it pierced my chest more so i couldn't help but hug him.
"I promise." i replied with my tears flowing down my face.
What made me shock is that he didn't resist at all yet he hugged me back.
'Oh god, or whoever can hear me. Please.. Let me love him more and be happy together.'

"You sure are too focus there huh, Mr. Phantom." i said with an arrogant tone. I may no in the position to act like this to the highest one but as i joined with them rank here doesn't matter anymore.
"Wayne." he simply just called my name as he look up sitting at his table with a serious face.
He looks so serious that you'll have this doubt feeling if this Phantom is the real one as he's so different from the one i always see in Lucifer's castle.
"What brought you here?" he then started filing the papers that is actually looks mountain in his table.
"I know what you actually feel about Ms. Rhina." as i said that name his eyes finally met mine, he's expression turned to a dark one. I can feel his cold stare almost sucking me with darkness.
But i didn't mind so i continue, "I know that you actually want her." his eyes still looking straight with mine thought he'll get mad and and cast me away but he didn't.
He smiled so evilly and, "That's right! I want her. I want her so much that i crave for her i want to devour her whole existence. I want her mine and mine alone only." his eyes we're almost glowing, as he said those words Phantom was like a hungry animal starving not for food only but for someone he longed so much.
"And what you'll do for you to have her?" he smiled so innocently with me like he's some kind of a kid with his dark aura with him you'll think twice if he's really innocent at all.
"I'll kill Lucifer, get the kingdom back with me and.." he then cupped his face.
"Get Rhina with my own hands, I'll get everything Lucifer have and destroy him." his no such an innocent he's an evil, an evil of all evil in disguise in an angel's form.
"Prepare yourselves."
