Chapter 30: Do you also like him?!

"Stop the act now or we would be forced to kill you!" The leader of the guards said as he aimed his sword at Lucifer.

Of course, Lucifer knew better than to keep this act of foolishness. After all, he was already done with his goal; to make the crowd disappear and even the examiner.

Even if the examiner technically held the authority over here in the examination site, the princess of the kingdom still holds the high ground.

Of course, as the guards of that said princess, the guards would have the authority to force the examiner to go through the exam or stop it if there is an emergency.

And that situation was...well, exactly an emergency for a person of fame like the princess.

However, it's not like Lucifer's job was finished now. After all, he still has to solve this situation of...unexpected.

'Now...how do I get away from this guard who saw me earlier.' Lucifer thought as he held up his hands as if he just lost his strength.

Lucifer needed to keep up the act, and that was why he spoke once more.

"Don't kill me! I have the same name as the princess' lover! That grants me the authority to stop you!"

Lucifer said, but of course, that was all just shit. After all, Lucifer needed some time to think.

And Lucifer surely thought of things as soon as he was done speaking!

'He saw me with that trash.' Lucifer thought as he remembered how he just killed someone a while ago.

Of course, Lucifer didn't regret doing that, but now it really bit him in the ass.

After all, he would have to explain things to this guard about where that trash was now.

Of course, if the guard decided to investigate things, it would be easy to know that Lucifer killed that trash.

In any case, Lucifer thought of killing the guard, too, at some other time.

The most important thing to do now was to escape from this situation and taint the princess.

Why was that important, you ask?

'So, this event would be remembered with the princess' name.'

As long as the princess is involved, Lucifer would be able to get away from it.

After all, the people and the schools would look into the matter with the princess as the center of it.

There's no way they would look at Lucifer, and they would just pass it as some talk of the day.

And as long as Lucifer could pass the image of someone who 'sucks ass,' things would be fine for Lucifer.

Of course, Lucifer has already taken things of gossip into account. It wouldn't really affect him as it would be centered on the princess.

In fact, it would help him as it would serve as a cover for him. After all, he would just be known by 'the princess' lover,' or 'the man who angered the princess!'

Those nicknames would definitely bring Lucifer some infamy, but it wouldn't help his enemies sniff him out.

It was then that Velma was finally able to get a grip on herself. After all, the way Lucifer acted was definitely unexpected.

What's more, Velma had to keep in mind the people.

What happened was stressful even for someone like her who was used to such situations.

That was why it took her a long time to calm herself. Well, it only took at least a few seconds, though.

"Pablo!" Velma said as she walked towards the guard who was threatening Lucifer with his sword.

It was then that Pablo finally pulled back the sword, and turned his body as he bowed his head towards the princess.

"Yes, your royal highness?"

It was weird as to how Pablo quickly changed gears, but that was to be expected.

After all, Pablo didn't want to mess with Lucifer, who he thought was from the Luciferian Empire.

As long as Lucifer's real identity is not confirmed, Pablo wouldn't want to mess with Lucifer.

That would be for the best of his life, and of course, for the best of this kingdom.

"I would like to talk with this...gentleman, please."

"Yes?"

"I won't repeat myself, get out and let me talk with this man. Alone." Velma said as she looked at Pablo.

It seems that what happened really got to her nerves as she didn't look like the princess that would wave at peasants right now.

Of course, it's not like Pablo would ignore what the princess said, and that was why he just bowed his head and disappeared.

Well, he just went to see if the guards have done their duty, and they would just guard the princess in the shadows.

Of course, the other guards have already made the other demons in this place continue the exams.

Even the examiner was no longer here at this place as the guards forced him.

Well, it's not like the examiner could just ignore the personal guards of the princess.

That was why, at this moment, Lucifer and the princess were the only demons here.

And because of that, Lucifer had a thought.

'Do I kill her now?'

That was the only thing Lucifer could think of, as this woman was the cause why he had to do what he did.

He even played like a fool in this scenario. Although things went his way, Lucifer could not just forgive it.

However, his thoughts soon ended as Velma spoke to him once more.

"Hah. Why did you have to act like that? I wasn't angry or anything, you know."

Right, Velma was not angry or mad at Lucifer because of his name. There's no way a princess of a kingdom would act like that for some petty reason.

What really made Velma act like that was...

"Anyway, you said that your name was Lucis Ferre, right! Did you get that from Sir Lucifer's past nicknames?!"

"Are you also a fan of him?! Do you read many books about him?!"

Velma said as she pushed her face near Lucifer. It seems that she really wanted to know these things.

After all, this was the reason why she called out Lucifer.

In other words, it was indeed a petty reason.

"Tell me, do you also like Sir Lucifer?!"
