Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 : Conclusion

Lelania explains everything she heard about lucifer in the greatest detail she could. King Oden, his wife and his daughter listened to the story.

" There you see, Lucifer is more than the son of Indura, he is also a great person," Lelania explained.

"I can't imagine there has been another person who has the affinity for darkness," Delva shared with her husband.

"The boy's case does add up, and you say this fragment is currently here in our kingdom?" Oden queried.

"Yes," Lelania responded and nodded. "All he wants is to return to his world and forget about his past."

"Father, what's your judgment?" Pressila wondered.

"Bring the boy here, I would like to discuss something with him," Oden ordered.

King Oden summoned Lucifer back to the throne room. Upon seeing him Pressila looked at him profoundly.

'This is Lelania's husband, he's much younger than I imagined he would be' she thought to herself.

" Lucifer, Lelania has told me about your situation. However I still need to hear it from you. Tell me your real name?" Oden queried.

"Lucifer," he responded.

"That's not what Lelania said," Oden stated.

"I don't want to state my real name to anyone who comes from this world," Lucifer protested.

Delva fumed. "How insolent! Do you—"

"Delva!" Oden cut off his wife from speaking out of turn. "This is between me and lucifer."

"Right, please forgive me."

After Delva apologized Oden turned his gaze back to Lucifer.

"Now Lucifer I understand that you were summoned to this world against your will and received the power of darkness."

"Yes."

"You were betrayed by the one who you trusted the most, lost your eyes and legs and thrown into a labyrinth of some sort."

"Yes."

"There you met Indura who took you in as his son and gave you his power."

"Yes."

"Tell me, what are your plans for this world?"

" I don't care about this world or anyone living in it, this place has brought me nothing but suffering and so I want to leave it as soon as possible. Take Lelania and the others with me," Lucifer responded..

"And you'll do anything to achieve your gold," Oden wondered.

"Precisely."

"Do you have the strength necessary to back up that goal?"

To answer Oden's question Lucifer released all of his aura. The level of magicles pouring from inside his body was so strong and so dense that it cracked the floor and eroded away the carpet. Even the giants outside the castle felt the dreadful energy. Fenrir and Eve felt the aura as well from inside their cell , they tried their best to withstand the pressure.

"That's going on," Fenrir asked as she shuddered.

Lucifer retracted his aura and the storm ended.

"Is that a good enough answer for you? " Lucifer wondered.

"Fua Hahahahahahaha Hahahahahahaha," Oden burst into laughter that shocked even his wife and daughter. "Hahahahahahah, you're funny boy, I haven't laughed like this in 5000 years."

'This guy is crazy, a few hours ago he was mad enough to skewer me like a kebab now he's laughing his head off,' Lucifer thought to himself as he scoffed.

"I've decided that I will let you."

"But oden, he's the son of that awful dragon," Delva protested.

Oden smirked. "He may be Indura's flesh and blood but he's a completely different man. His eyes weren't filled with rage and hatred like his father but with determination. Beside if this boy wanted kill me he would have done so already,"

"But you attacked him earlier," Lelania asked in bewilderment.

"Oh I hated him at the moment but you managed to convince me. After all, for a wife to stand up for her husband he must be a great man," Oden responded.

Lelania blushed at those words and hugged Lucifer's right arm with a happy smile.Suddenly the door was kicked open up by fenrir who rushed in with Eve decide her.

"You bastard, how dare you touch Lucifer— Huh?"

"You'll pay for what you've done—huh?"

Fenrir and Even were bewildered as they looked around. Lucifer was out of cuffs and anklets.

"Hahahaha, the other wives has joined in to defend their husband see what I mean," Oden chuckled joyfully

"What's going on?" Fenrir asked in bewilderment but she got no response from anyone.

Lucifer cuffed his sleeve before turning to the King. "So where is the fragment?" He queried.

"I have no clue about what you're talking about, I've been in this Kingdom for more than 10,000 years and I haven't seen such fragments," Oden responded.

Lucifer looked at his Dragon Lords ring and there was no reaction whatsoever.

'Could I be that the fragment isn't here?' He pondered to himself.

"Why don't we all have dinner together?" Oden suggested.

Lucifer and the others sat at the table unsuitable size for their size but it was where the giants sat together. The table was very large and on top of it were very large fruits.

"Eat up," Oden requested.

Everyone feasted together all except for Lucifer who remained silent the entire time. He was wondering where the fragments could be or if the book was wrong.

"Husband, are you alright?" Lelania worryingly asked.

"I'm fine, just thinking about the book," he responded.

"Lighten up Lucifer, it's not like the world is going to end to—"

Before Fenrir could finish talking Lucifer slammed his hand on the table.

"Don't tell me to lighten up! " He barked.

Everyone went silent and glanced at him. This was the first time Lucifer has lashed out like this.

"Take it easy," Fenrir said, waving her hands left and right.

Lucifer walked away from the table.

"Where are you going?" Fenrir wondered

"I need to be alone,"

Lucifer closed the door behind him as he left.

"What's wrong with him?" Pressila asked in bewilderment.

"He wants to go home very badly and the stronger he stays in this world the more oppressed he will feel," Eve explained.

Later that night Lucifer stood on the roof of the castle. He looked at his Dragon lord's ring and notice that it wasn't glowing

'Where is it? how long do I have to wait?' Lucifer asked himself in frustration.
