Inhuman Warlock

Not too far from him, he could see a young man looking in his direction. As for the person, he recognized him quite well. It was the same person he saw during the time he saw the future.

It was the man who was leading the group that came to hunt him for killing the Empress. The man had the rank of a General, but more than that, he also had the identity of the Leader of Royal Guards.

For some reason, Lucifer could already feel some killing intent from the man. The killing intent was very subtle and not as prominent as what he had experienced before.

'It looks like this guy already hated me before I even got married. But why? I don't think he knows who I am. If he knew, he would've never let this marriage go through. Then why?'

Lucifer had no idea what this man was thinking about. However, he did know one thing... Since he had no relationship with the man, then it could only have something to do with the Empress herself.

'Does he secretly like her? That could explain why he shows that killing intent.'

Lucifer could only shake his head and stop looking at the man. The Leader of the Royal Guards was powerful and could definitely hurt him, but he was sure that if he didn't give the man an opportunity, there were no risks.

If anything, Lucifer didn't even want to allow this man to attack him. Instead, he wanted to kill the man himself! The man was a big headache in the future from what he could see. Not only was he strong, but he was also close to the Empress.

'So far, I haven't been able to change the future at all. Everything went exactly as I saw... But if the next part goes the same, it'll be a headache. It looks like I'll need to do something to change things up a little and destroy the flow of time...'

He knew that the man was going to attack him after the Empress was killed. However, that also gave him an idea. If he really wanted to change the future, he could definitely do so by killing the man! If he was able to kill the Leader of Royal Guards, there was no way for him to chase after him and blame him for the Empress's death. That alone was enough to change the future.

Moreover, if he killed the Leader of the Royal Guards after finding an opportunity, he could also change other things, such that the future he saw didn't come to fruition.

'Since you think about killing me, I'd love to give you an opportunity.' Lucifer didn't show anything on the outside. However, on the inside, he had already made up his mind.

The wedding ceremony was a success. After giving their gifts, all the attendees started leaving one after another, not forgetting to congratulate the couple before leaving.

Before long, the entire Garden was empty, leaving only the staff here. Even the Star Alliance and Lucifer's team left. The only person who didn't live here yet stayed behind was Lucifer but only because this was supposed to be his new house from now on.

The Empress escorted Lucifer back personally, telling all her Guards to give them some privacy. Even the Leader of the Royal Guards was told to not follow them.

"Tired?" The Empress asked Lucifer, walking back with him. "How was it meeting with all the supreme beings?"

"It was interesting for sure. But I'm more interested in the man who is still following us. It seems he even ignored your command," Lucifer answered, still sensing that presence.

"Oh? You can sense him too? Not bad." The Empress was surprised to realize that Lucifer could sense someone like Lein who was her most capable subordinate. She didn't know that someone other than her could sense him as well.

"He ignored your command. Aren't you angry?" Lucifer inquired, slightly intrigued. She herself told the man to give them some privacy yet he was following them.

"There's no benefit in being angry. He just worries about me to the point that he guards me from the shadows, even when I tell him not too. I can punish him, but then again there's no need to. He'll leave after we get to the inner parts of the palace where safety increases,"the Empress explained to Lucifer.

Lucifer had expected the Empress to be a stern ruler since she was able to control such a big organization. However, in reality, she was a really careless person. She didn't discipline her people, at least the ones who were close to her and had been with her for long. If anything, she treated them like friends.

Back in the Star Alliance Ship, Kellian, Cassius and the others returned after attending the wedding.

They directly went looking for Alicia who had refused to attend the wedding, citing work.

As they returned, they noticed that she was still working on some documents in the cabin all alone. In the entire ship, she was the only one who stayed behind.

Hearing the footsteps, Alicia looked back. "Oh, you're back. How was the wedding?"

Even with her question, Alicia didn't show much reaction. It was as if she really didn't care. However, Kellian could see that she was hiding the reality. Alicia was someone in the uprising who had been with Lucifer the longest. She was close to everyone, but particularly close to Lucifer.

It wasn't a secret from anyone that she liked Lucifer. However, now that she saw Lucifer select someone else, she felt as if she was left behind by him... As if Lucifer didn't even think about her at all. She felt hurt, but she didn't have the courage to show her emotions. She could only bury herself in her work and try to not look outside her comfort zone, as if nothing else existed.

"He was asking about you," Kellian answered, not lying either.
