Chapter 17: A mysterious guy

"Attack!" The guard shouted out loud.

However, the people here didn't care about that as they just shouted and looked at the far distance.

After all, it was the princess of this kingdom and one of the most important people.

Lucifer, which is basically unknown to the people, isn't even seen by the people's eyes.

That is why the guard was confident in cleaning up this mess without being seen.

He was also sure that they would be able to kill Lucifer fast and nice, and still be able to follow the original procedure for this parade.

After all, if he didn't clean this mess, there's no doubting that his head will fly.

That was also the reason why the man had a horrified look on his face as he ordered the other men.

"Go!"

Tak!

The other men who held out their weapons prepared to slash at Lucifer, and they were very fast!

They didn't hold back their strike at all as the sword punctured the air as it made its way towards Lucifer's neck.

However, they all stopped right before they could even cut Lucifer's neck.

Why? It was because Lucifer's neck changed into someone else's neck as a person suddenly showed up in front of him.

"Wait! Wait, please!" That person said as he clapped his hands in front and bowed his head.

And when that person looked up a little bit, he soon saw the edge of the sword about to pierce him.

Normally, this would terrify almost everyone, but not this man as he looked at it calmly.

He then spoke as he lowered his head even further.

"This friend here is a new guy here. He didn't know anything about the parade of the princess!"

"He only entered and wandered on this place and set his foot on your brilliant guard's paths because he wanted to see the beauty of her Majesty!"

The man then looked at Lucifer and nudged him with an elbow as he spoke once more.

"Right, my friend from Luciferian Empire?"

The man then winked towards Lucifer, which was probably a sign for Lucifer to play.

And to his desire, Lucifer did move his head a little bit that looked like he nodded his head.

And when the man saw that, he looked at the guards once more.

"L-luciferian Empire..."

"He's from that p-place..."

"C-chief, what do we do?"

What the man saw and heard was the guards being flustered and whispering amongst themselves.

Of course, they would be. After all, the name, Luciferian Empire, was brought into the conversation.

Even these guards that were doing their duty in the name of the princess of the Zacharath Kingdom was nothing compared to that empire.

And when the man saw this, he decided to put the finishing line to that will make the indecisive guards decisive.

"Look, I'm sure of it. Besides, I have some credibility, you know?"

The man spoke as he brandished the logo that was braided on his chest.

The logo on his chest had a triangle and a mansion inside it, and there was also a word on it.

And the word was First Academy.

"It's just trash! Damn it." The guard said when he saw the name of the logo.

For this guard, it was indeed trash. And because this man wasted his time, the guard could even kill this man as well.

However, he couldn't just do that if ever what the man who suddenly appeared said was true.

That was why the guard was having a dilemma as he thought about it.

'I can only let it go with a reasonable excuse, not because I am scared of the Luciferian Empire.'

Otherwise, it would affect our reputation. The guard thought.

It was then that the guard coughed as he put a hand over his mouth.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

"Good. In line with the respect for the services the First Academy has given for the kingdom, we will let you go."

"However! The next time you guys do this, your heads will fly without your body in an instant!"

"Go away now!"

The guard said without missing a line and with a straight face.

It looked like he really meant what he was saying, but of course, that didn't matter to the man who showed up to save Lucifer.

"Oh, thank you! Thank you!" The man said as he wrapped his arms around Lucifer's neck.

"See you, guards! Have a nice day!" The man shouted out as he raised his hand while walking away with Lucifer.

It didn't take the two long for them to disappear from the road.

And when they did, all of the guards sheathed their swords at the same time.

It was amazing how organized they were.

"Whew. We dodged a disaster." The guard said as he sat down on the seat.

"Go back and make way for the Princess' carraige!"

When the guard said that, the other men quickly disappeared as another set of horses appeared running.

It was time to go back to their original duty, and that was to make the way clear for when the princess actually passes through these roads.

"Let's go!" The guard said as he used his magic to make the carriage and horses ride by themselves.

And with that, the incident was wiped off from most people present here.

After all, it was just another random young man who was about to get killed.

Well, it's not like the bystanders really gave a fuck about what happened.

"Luciferian Empire, huh." The guard said as he looked at the sky.

He thought about how he might have been wrong, or the man just tried to fool him, but whatever.

He didn't want to play with that empire. After all, no one who ever tried has escaped with their lives.

Of course, not even a kingdom.

"My luck's pretty shitty these days, for me to meet someone like that."

"I hope nothing bad happens..."

The man wished for as he wiped out Lucifer and the other man away from his mind.
