Chapter 571 - 571: They'll Have To Be Capable

"You should wear these," Amelia raised her head, revealing a set of clothes in her hand.

"Hmm? Where did you get them from?" Lucifer asked.

"Where do you think I get my own clothes from?" Amelia responded. "We High Beasts can use the energy of this world to form clothes. Or we would all be naked when coming back to human form after transformation."

"Now, don't ask too many questions and get dressed. It's not good to stay in wet clothes."

Lucifer took the clothes, which were flaming red in color, matching the gown off Amelia. 

Lucifer took off the cloak and placed it on the ground. Only the cloak was still dry because of its peculiar nature, but his other clothes were wet. 

Amelia turned back without Lucifer having to ask to give him some privacy. 

Lucifer took off his old clothes. 

"Oh, I forgot to mention, if you need a different color, you can tell me. I can bring different clothes if you don't like re-"

Amelia abruptly turned back as soon as Lucifer had taken off his clothes, remembering that she forgot to offer more choices to Lucifer; however, she remained still as her jaws dropped at the sight. 

Lucifer was standing before her, completely naked. He had just finished taking off his clothes. 

"I-i am sorry. I didn't see anything, I promise!" Amelia hastily turned back as she started apologizing extensively. 

Even though she had seen everything clearly, she decided to lie, so Lucifer wasn't embarrassed. However, she didn't realize that Lucifer wasn't embarrassed that much. So what if she saw him. 

"It's alright. Don't worry about it," he replied as he finished wearing his clothes.

"T-thank you for not blaming me. I didn't intend to look."

"As I said, don't worry about it. I know it wasn't your intention," Lucifer lazily answered. 

He walked back to a rock that was lying near the pond. "Can you sit down as well? There are more things I want to know."

Amelia sat before him. "About your parents?"

"That's right. This glove, did you bring it back?" Lucifer asked, tossing the glove before Amelia.

"This...? I don't understand."

"This was one of the gloves my mother wore. I asked if you brought these gloves back the last time you met her?"

"I don't think I did. She was wearing both her gloves when I saw her. I don't think I would have taken her gloves instead of saving her. Moreover, when I woke up, I didn't have any gloves in my hand. You sure that's the one she wore last time?"

"I am sure of it. It was the one she wore last time she left." Lucifer insisted. "I want to know how it ended up in this world since you were apparently the last one to meet her."

"Where did you find it?" Amelia asked, frowning. "Because I'm sure it wasn't brought back by me. If it was actually the one she was wearing, then it's certainly odd."

"I found it inside the Thunder Lion Clan mansion

"There? H-how?" Amelia was even more shocked than Lucifer. Since she didn't bring it back, she didn't understand how it ended up here. 

"Looks like you don't know it either. I'll only get my answers from them." Lucifer stood up and walked closer to Amelia. 

He took the glove of his mother from her hand. "It's evening. We should get back."

Keeping the glove in his pocket, he started flying away, leaving Amelia behind. 

"Wait for me!" Amelia stood up and turned to a real phoenix before she started flying after him. 

She soon caught up to him. "Don't tell me you're going to the Thunder Lion Clan! You were responsible for the death of their heir! They'll eat you alive if they see you!"

"Well, they'll have to be capable enough to do that first," Lucifer calmly replied. "I don't have much time, and I need my answers. If my answers rest inside the Thunder Clan Mansion, then even they can't stop me from getting to them."

"I can't let you do that. I wasn't able to save your mother. I can't let you die as well! Let me go talk to them instead if it's that important to you."

"No need. They don't answer honestly. You won't have enough leverage with them," Lucifer responded, refusing the offer. "As I said before, don't worry about me. I am more than capable."

"But this..."

"Amelia... Enough. I don't want to hear anything about that. Please let me do what I want. I'm grateful to you for many reasons, but I won't listen this time."

"But you'll die! How about you have the Snow Wolf Patriarch talk to them? They'll answer!"

"Sigh, you really think I'll die?" Lucifer asked, sighing. 

"Yes," Amelia responded. 

Lucifer looked at Amelia, sighing. "Maybe you're right. I shouldn't be stupid just for some answers. What was I even thinking? I can't take on an entire clan. I shouldn't do it. I'll ask the elders to help me."

"That's exactly right! Now you understand!" 

"Yeah. Thank you for stopping me from being stupid." Lucifer nodded. 

"By the way, I just realized it. Didn't you say before that your mother wants you to marry so you can be safe? Is that related to your poison?" Lucifer asked, changing the topic. 

Instead of going back and forth, it was just better to lie to her that he wasn't going to do it if that got rid of the argument. After lying, he conveniently changed the topic. 

This topic was the weakness of Amelia which quickly distracted her. 

She sighed as she answered. "That's right. My mother is convinced that the treasure possessed by the Golden Crow Clan can heal me."

"However, Golden Crows don't want to help me for no reason. They asked for my hand in marriage to their son in exchange for helping me. And since then, my mother has been trying to force me. In fact, she gave me a deadline of tonight to agree."

"Since your poison isn't a problem anymore, you don't have any reason to be forced, right?" Lucifer asked. 

"The poison is still inside my body. And my mother can see it. You healed the poison that had reached the outer layer of my skin. The core is still inside my body. It'll only get stronger and reach my skin again. I have relief from this poison but not healed."

"Since my mother can see it, she won't listen to me. Moreover, it's not as if you're always going to be here for me to heal me.. That's certainly what her first argument is going to be," Amelia replied.
