Chapter 462: The Princess who survived

Lucifer disconnected the call and stood up, walking to the window 

He pushed the wooden windows open to look outside. The first thing he noticed was the road leading up to the Royal Palace, which was completely empty. 

Columns of trees existed on both sides of the road, increasing its beauty, but not a single person existed on the road, which wasn't unexpected. It was the Royal Property, and no commoner would have come here either. 

Only Nobles could approach the place, and if any Noble came at this time, it was evident that they would have been here for spying. They weren't going to be showing themselves that easily.

It was still afternoon outside, so the bright sun was gracing the sky. Some rare birds could also be heard chirping in the surroundings. 

"Milena Sephene... The Princess who survived," Lucifer muttered, looking straight at the sun without covering his eyes. "We are so different yet so similar. I hope you won't create too much trouble for me."

He stepped back and closed the window before he walked to the table which was placed near the bed. 

Krrr~

He opened the drawer. 

As he had already opened the drawer once before, he knew what was inside. A small notebook was kept in the drawer, which had a green cover. There was no name or branding on the notebook. 

Right beside the book, a black fountain pen was also kept. Other than that, some blank pieces of paper were also kept in the drawer. 

He picked up the green notebook and a pen before closing the drawer. He walked back to the bed. 

Sitting on the bed, he opened the notebook to reveal the pale yellow pages of the notebook. He removed the cap of the pen and started writing something. 

After about five minutes, he finished writing. 

He tore off the page in which he had written before he kept the pen and the notebook to the side. 

He folded the piece of paper and kept it in his pocket, and stood up, leaving the room. 

He walked through the long corridor until he reached the stairs. Using the stairs, he had just started going down when he noticed the maid coming up. 

"Are you going somewhere?" the maid asked, looking up at him. 

"Yeah. I'm going to take a walk in the outer garden." Lucifer continued stepping down. 

"Shall I accompany you?" 

"There's no need. I would like to be alone there."

Rejecting the fine proposal, Lucifer left the woman behind and left the palace. 

The beautiful palace had a garden on both sides of it, which had a variety of flowers. It was similar to what the Royal Palace had, except it was smaller.

He walked to the left garden from where he had a clear view of his room window. 

He walked inside the garden with hands in his pocket, observing the beautiful flowers. 

"This is intriguing," he suddenly let out, bringing his right hand out of his pocket to touch a beautiful green flower. As he pulled out his hand, a piece of paper fell from it, which happened to be the same paper he had just written. 

Lucifer didn't look like he was aware that the paper had fallen from his pocket. 

Instead, he touched the green flower, which had a soft yet intriguing texture as if it was made of cotton. 

He plucked one of those flowers and started walking back, smelling the flower. 

He next went to the other garden. After taking a walk in the garden, he went back inside the palace and back to his room. 

...

The piece of paper that had fallen from Lucifer's pocket was still lying in the garden, unmoving. 

However, a few minutes after Lucifer went inside the Palace, the piece of paper started floating in the air. 

The piece of paper rose about five feet above the ground before it started unfolding itself. 

As the paper was open, the words on it were revealed.

~ I already know you're there. If you want to stay there like a coward, then you can be my guest; however, if you really want to, you can come to my room and talk face to face. I promise I don't bite~

The paper was crushed into a ball mid-air as a mysterious voice appeared out of thin air. "Interesting. Very interesting."

The ball of paper started flying even higher until it was flying right in front of Lucifer's window. 

...

Lucifer was sitting in his room, glancing towards the window as if waiting for someone. 

The wooden-framed window had transparent glass in the middle, which allowed a person to see outside. Unfortunately, people from the outside couldn't see the inside.

Tuck~ Tuck~

As Lucifer was observing the window, there was a knocking sound on the window. No one could be seen on the other side of the window though. 

Standing up, Lucifer walked over to the window and opened it. "I was wondering if you'd come out now."

Leaving the window open, Lucifer walked back to the bed and sat with one leg resting above the other. 

"So, may I ask why you were spying on me, Sirius?" he asked, glancing in the direction of the floating paper. 

As he asked, something strange happened. A leg appeared out of thin air, but that's not where it stopped. Slowly, more and more of a human body was revealed. 

Soon, a white-haired man could be seen standing before Lucifer. The man was dressed in a beautiful white robe, staring at Lucifer. 

"So Arthur was right. You were the one who told him about this." Sirius moved a chair and sat, facing Lucifer. 

"About your peculiar ability? Yeah, I might have told him something about it. I must say I didn't expect him to be surprised. I thought he would know about it since he's a high-ranking noble. You kept yourself hidden quite well I guess," Lucifer replied, smiling.

" I heard about your dream story. And I might believe it too. But tell me one thing."

"What thing?" Lucifer asked. 

"How did you know that I was in that specific garden?" Sirius inquired.

"That? I knew Milena was probably going to send a person to spy on me. And it was obvious that the person was going to be you. As for how I knew where you were, you can do an equal exchange for that information," Lucifer responded. "Answer one question of mine, and I'll answer one question of yours.'

"What question do you want to ask?" Sirius asked, frowning. 

"Something related to your past, about the time you first met Milena," Lucifer answered.
