Chapter 31: Lucifer's curse...or not

"Tell me, do you also like Sir Lucifer!" Velma said as her red eyes looked at Lucifer intently.

This was the reason why she called out Lucifer; to know if Lucifer liked Lucifer.

It was indeed a petty reason, but Velma couldn't care about that. After all, her feelings for Lucifer in the legends were just that hot and passionate.

And it was because of that Lucifer had a weird look on his face.

'What the fuck...is with this woman? Did she...just seriously...made my life harder just to fucking ask that question?'

Lucifer thought as he was bewildered and dumbfounded at the same time.

After all, he just learned that the reason why he had to act like that is that...this woman liked Lucifer.

No, was it even in the realm of liking? Lucifer wasn't sure about that as Velma continued speaking.

"Why aren't you speaking? You were...so hyper before, but now...are you hiding something?"

"Are you shy? Don't worry about me being a princess! I talk to peasants all the time!"

And when Lucifer heard that, his patience almost...ran out.

'This little bitch!' Lucifer thought as he was about to slap the fuck out of this woman.

However, he abstained himself from doing so. After all, Lucifer didn't want to be hunted down with his condition.

He just found out that something happened with his Demonic Origin, and it was bad.

Lucifer didn't know if there were more powers that were affected by his physical condition.

That was why...Lucifer had to ride with what the princess was saying.

"Yes! To be honest, I got the name from a book about Sir Lucifer!"

"However, to think that the princess is also a fan of the Hell God Lucifer!"

"It is indeed such a strange way for fate to work like this!"

Indeed. Lucifer was talking about how he liked himself to a woman who likes Lucifer.

If this isn't a strange phenomenon, Lucifer wouldn't know what is.

And because of what Lucifer said, Velma's red eyes were glittering right now.

She was about to say something, but Lucifer cut her off. After all, Lucifer didn't want to hear any more of the nonsense from this bitch.

"However, princess should be careful about this next time!"

"Didn't you know? According to a book that I've read, Sir Lucifer has actually made a curse!"

"A curse that would burn people if they kept talking about him."

"That is why you shouldn't just ask about his names or anything like that!"

Lucifer said as he spoke with a smile. After all, he needed to keep this act.

Well, it was also because he could feel someone watching them from the shadows.

What's more, the one watching from the shadows was someone who was stronger than the guards.

That was why Lucifer was sure that it was not Pablo or some other guards the princess had.

"Really? I've never heard of something like that..." Velma said as she tilted her head.

She has never read a book about something like Lucifer banning people from talking about him with a curse.

After all, that seems nonsense. If that was the case, anyone who has studied the history of the demons or the past should have died.

Of course, what Lucifer just said was a lie.

'She's buying it!' Lucifer thought as he tried to muster up the courage to act all chummy once more.

"That's right, princess! What Sir Lucifer has done is very secretive. Not many know of this, and there are many requirements before one would be cursed."

It was then that Lucifer bent his back as he pushed his face towards the princess.

"Let me ask...you like Sir Lucifer very much that you talk about him all the time?"

"I know a kindred soul since I am like that, as well!" Lucifer said.

"That is why you should stop talking about him!"

And when Velma heard that, her red eyes widened as much as possible.

Her face became the literal example of horror. After all, not talking about Sir Lucifer is just that...painful for her.

What's more, she believed Lucifer's words as Lucifer was able to guess that she was talking about him all the time.

"W-what do I do? How will I be able to talk about him again?!"

And when Lucifer heard that, he quickly spoke as he raised his index finger in the air.

"It's simple!"

"Don't talk about him."

'Really, don't talk about me from now on.' Lucifer thought. Of course, that was just his thoughts as he continued speaking.

"Sir Lucifer has stated once in a book that he would appreciate if his followers were to just pray to him."

"What's more, Sir Lucifer absolutely hated people who kept talking about him in the public!"

"He hated them! He despised them! He even made a curse about it!"

"That is why the princess should just pray to Sir Lucifer from now on. Quietly, and secretly."

Lucifer said as if he already practiced this. Well, it was to be expected that Lucifer would be able to come up with something like this.

He has not read all those books for years for nothing, after all.

It would be weird if Lucifer was stupid.

It was then that Velma spoke once more. After all, the way Lucifer spoke seems like he knows Lucifer himself!

Well, Lucifer knew himself, obviously.

"How do you know about that? How are you so sure?"

"Ah! Don't get me wrong, I trust you! However, it seems so cruel that Sir Lucifer would ban his followers from talking about him!"

And now...the question that Lucifer had been waiting for finally came.

Of course, it's not like Velma would just blindly trust Lucifer. After all, Lucifer was a stranger.

That was why Lucifer had already thought of 'answers' for this question.

"Aha! Have the princess not heard from your guards, yet?"

"I think the one named Pablo knows it."

"He knows that I am from a very special empire."

"And that empire is...Luciferian Empire."
