Chapter 20: An Awkward Entrance

"After all... Sir Lucifer is already dead." The woman said as her shoulders slumped.

And Sebastian just watched her. He wanted to give the princess a little bit of time to get herself back together.

It was only after a minute has passed that Sebastian finally spoke.

"Princess, it's alright to idolize someone, but it's bad if it's too much. I hope you do not live in the past and be someone in the present."

"I know..." The princess said as she looked up.

Of course, she knew what Sebastian was talking about. It was just bad for someone in the present to go wild about someone in the past.

However, the tales about the Fallen Demon were just that good.

That was why the princess couldn't help but idolize...no, her idolization was already in the boundary of madness.

It was to the point that even the princess thought that she was just like the lunatics in the Luciferian Empire.

Sebastian then continued speaking with a warm smile on his face as he saw the princess looking at the outside with a blank look.

"Well, it's not that bad as long as your aim is to grow as strong as him."

"If the princess becomes a Hell God, I, the old butler, would be able to die with a smile."

Sebastian then raised his hands in the air.

"All hail the Hell God Velma!"

"Doesn't that sound nice, Princess?"

Sebastian said as he tilted his head to look at the princess...at Velma's face.

Of course, although she was trying to hide it, Velma was already smiling.

After all, hearing that kind of sentence was just too nice to hear.

And it seems that this topic was enough to bring back Velma's energy as she spoke.

"That's right! I aim to become a Hell God."

"After all, that's the only way I can stand side by side with Sir Lucifer!"

"Ah, here we go again..." Sebastian said.

However, the two couldn't continue speaking anymore as they heard a knock.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

"Princess, we are here." A voice from the outside said as the room that they were in stopped moving.

No, this wasn't a room, but it was the inside of a carriage.

It was just made specifically for the princess, which is why it was so...grand.

"Let us go, princess." Sebastian said as he stood up. He then walked towards the door.

Well, it was near them as they were sitting near it.

And he just stood there as he waited for Velma to come.

It didn't take long for him to open the door as Velma was already walking.

Squeak. The door opened when Sebastian pushed it.

And the outside view became clear for them.

"It's the princess!!!"

And what they saw was a long line of people waiting for Velma to come.

It was the arrival of the princess in the place where the entrance test of all the academies would take place.

****

"Princess!!" The shouting of the crowd resounded out in this place.

And Lucifer could hear it too well as he was near them.

'Princess, huh. Of this kingdom?' Lucifer thought.

However, his thoughts ended there as he didn't care about something like a princess.

After all, he was a Hell God. Even though he didn't have powers yet, Lucifer was certainly a Hell God.

And that was why Lucifer continued walking. However, Lucifer was soon forced to stop.

Why? It was because the group of youth that he was following soon joined in the crowd as they yelled.

"Princess! You're beautiful today as well!!" The group of youth shouted out loud in chorus with the crowd.

'Is it really that big of a deal to see a princess?' Lucifer thought as he looked up.

And because Lucifer was a Hell God, he was able to see through the crowd.

He soon saw the princess who was being guarded by men all around her.

And because of that, Lucifer then saw it.

He witnessed the woman turn her head towards his direction!

And as if that were not enough, Lucifer met with the eyes of the princess!

He met with the eyes of Velma!

However, the eye contact between the two of them didn't last for more than a second.

'Oho, she was able to feel me?' Lucifer thought as he used magic to hide himself.

And when he looked at the woman again, he saw that she wasn't looking in his direction anymore.

'A good seedling.' Lucifer thought.

And it was then that Lucifer finally started walking.

He looked at the building where people were starting to enter.

And although Lucifer didn't know what it was for, he walked towards that.

After all, Lucifer already deduced that this was the place where the entrance exam would be held.

'This is too much hassle.' Lucifer thought as he soon entered the building without any restrictions.

****

Lucifer was currently walking inside the hallway of the building, which he suspected the place of the entrance exam.

There were many people outside of the building, but it was empty on the inside.

However, Lucifer knew what to do in this empty place.

After all, he was already instructed where he needs to go in order to enroll.

Before he entered this place, there was someone who guided him and told him all sorts of stuff. Lucifer was also able to confirm that this was indeed the entrance exam place.

That was why Lucifer knew.

'Right this way...' Lucifer thought as he saw the corner in the hallway where he could turn right.

And as soon as he walked into that corner, he soon saw a door.

"Is that it?" Lucifer said as he tried to read the sign placed at the top of the door.

But of course, Lucifer couldn't read any of that.

Lucifer then continued walking without a care for anything.

And when Lucifer reached the door, he opened it.

No, he tried to open it. However, the door didn't open at all.

"What the hell?" Lucifer said.

However, Lucifer's patience soon ran out as he just literally destroyed the door that wouldn't open.

Squeakkk!!

Lucifer pulled the door out of the way. And he threw it away as he continued walking.

And when Lucifer entered the room, he soon felt it.

"What the..."

He felt the eyes of hundreds staring right at him.

It was the demons who were already here before him.
