Chapter 30 - Chapter 30 : Negotiations 

" Greeting king of the lizardman my name is Black Jack and I am an envoy sent here to speak with you by my lord and master " Black Jack introduces himself.

" An envoy ?"

Lartra seems to be confused by Black Jack's attitude. 

" My Lord recently received a request from the Queen of the Lamias to help them in this war "

" A request from the Queen ?! "

" He sent me here to negotiate with you. Call of this war Latra "Black Jack said, 

Lartra thinks about the situation and after ten seconds of thinking. 

" Not going to happen, This is between me and Queen Lelania, She's refuses to be my wife for the 3 time now and king Latra doesn't like taking No for an answer "

" My Lord doesn't take no for an answer and if you go through with this war your defeat is inevitable "

" Who is your master and why didn't he come to warn me himself? Is he a coward to face me? " Latra asks.

Black Jack got angry and leaked out his killing intent at Latra who shuddered under his murderous aura. Black Jack retracted his aura and tightened the white gloves on his hand. 

" I'll only ask one last time, call off this war " Black Jack said for the final time.

Lartra got angry and throw over the table with the plates of fishes. 

" Never ! This war is going to happen and I'll capture all the Lamias and make them slaves until Queen Lelania kneels before me and becomes my wife ! "

Black Jack warned Lartra just as Lucifer ordered him to. 

" Then I shall take my leave now "

He stepped into the shadows and vanished. King Lartra took a seat again and crushed the mug in his hand. 

" How dare they look down on me like this...I'm king Lartra descendant of the great dragons and the greatest warrior amongst the lizardman... Go and assemble the warriors we'll go to war in three days ! " He ordered. 

In the meantime. 

The sun shines brightly over the lands of the Lamias. Lucifer activated his 「Magic Perception 」and found himself in a dilemma. Fenrir was on his bed and she was hugging him tightly.

- Like I've become her personal teddy bear or something -

He thought to himself,

" Good Morning Master, " Eve said, smiling at him.

She was all dressed in her maids uniform and prepared to serve him. Lucifer then crawled out of her arms, went to take a dip in the bath is hot water and then got out to get dress. 

" Allow me " Eve said. 

" Is this necessary? "

" As your maid, it's my duty "

" Have you done this work before? "

" A few times when I was working for the humans to infiltrate their homes "

" I see "

Lucifer stood still and held out his hand so Eve could get him dressed. As she placed her hands on his skin she couldn't help but blush. 

- My lords skin is so white and smooth and I can feel his power flowing into me with a single touch -

She thought to herself. Fenrir walked unto the bathroom yawning when she saw Eve on her knees before Lucifer. 

"Hm? Am I interrupting something? " Fenrir asked. 

" N-No I'm just getting my Lord ready that's all " Eve said, lucifer buttoned his jacket and walked pass Fenrir without saying a word. 

" Lucifer, where are you heading to? "

" I handle some personal business " He said he left the hut. Fenrir then to Eve. 

"Did you do anything to him? " She asked. 

" No I didn't, what makes you ask that ?"

" Come on you know what I'm talking about, I can see the look in your eyes, you wanted him then and there did you "

" Don't be ridiculous "

" You have to be bolder "

Fenrir demonstrated by pushing Eve against the wall. Eve was surprised by Fenrir's boldness and blushed at her seductive attitude. 

" Like this....."

She then leaned in to kiss Eve but stopped just as their lips were about to touch. 

" That's how you get it done "

"You think it will work ?"

" Of course, Lucifer may seem cold on the outside but deep inside he's still shy around us, I just know it, one day I'll make him come out of his shell "

" You're more selfish and sadistic than I imagined " Eve said. 

" I guess I am, now let's go find Lucifer before he gets raped by those conniving vipers " Fenrir said. 

Lucifer soars through the sky on his glider board when he receives a telepathic message from Black Jack. 

[[ My Lord I've returned ]]

[[ I'll be there shortly ]]

Lucifer flew toward the forest and landed into woods where black Jack was standing under a tree. The moment Lucifer arrived he kneeled before him. 

" Have you completed your task? " Lucifer asks. 

" Yes my lord, I did just as you instructed "

" And ?"

" It went just as you predicted, I've warned them multiple times and the response received is that they don't intend to back down. King Lartra is determined to bring the Lamias under his rule and making Queen Lelania his wife "

" I see, You can return now "

" Yes " Black Jack went into Lucifer's shadow. 

- So the warning only ends up falling on stubborn ears, Then I have an excuse to crush them with everything I've got -

Lucifer thought to himself and after much time of thinking he went over to Queen Lelania along with Fenrir and Eve. 

" Are you saying this war is unavoidable? " Lelania asked and Lucifer responded with a nod. 

Lucifer then looks at the ceiling as he has one of his crows scouting the area.

" The lizardman doesn't intend to back down. My guess is they'll immobilize their army in three days time and arrived here 2 days time " Lucifer explains. 

" Will we be able to prepare in time " Lelania asks.

" We are already prepared "

After that Lucifer, Fenrir and Eve went to the lands where the battle is going to be hold on a large open plain located in the borders between the Lamia's territory and the lands of the Giants. 

" WAAK..AAAK..AAK "

A crow perched on Lucifer's shoulder. 

" Man this is going to be the greatest battle I've been in "Fenrir said excited about this fight. 

" Yo Lucifer make sure you can keep up with me " She said,

Lucifer didn't respond to her though, he took out two swords from his Dragon rings and gave them to Eve. It was two demonic swords that were in Arduvan's treasure.  

" Here, You know how to use them, right? "

" Uhm yes " Eve said as she looks at the two swords in her hand. 

" Then use them "

" As you wish my master "

" Then let's wait for the battle to begin "
