Chapter 103: Clue

"I am the Wandering Demon, Rouge of the Warmester Denoble House," Rouge said as he raised the sword of light on his hand.

This sword of light was the very symbol of the Wandering Demon, which is him.

In other words, this would prove his identity to Raya Pazier, who was showing clear doubts that he was indeed the Wandering Demon.

And it seems that it was working as when Raya Pazier laid eyes on the shining sword on his hand, Raya Pazier couldn't help but doubt her eyes.

After all, it was absolutely unthinkable for the Wandering Demon, also known as the Dog-In-Leash of the Warmester Denoble House, to betray the Warmester Denoble House!

His pure loyalty to the Warmester Denoble House made the other demons fear him, even the other Denoble Houses were wary of the Wandering Demon, one of those Denoble Houses is the Pazier Denoble House, which is how Raya Pazier knew of the Wandering Demon.

That was why it was unthinkable for him to betray the Warmester Denoble House.

Well, this just goes to show how that scary and demonly nightmare that Rouge experienced earlier managed to change him entirely and his loyalty as well.

No, in the first place, the fact that the Rouge of the Warmester Denoble House was here in this place, and was trying to prove that he is indeed a witness to the killing of the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House and its 6 pillars were even weirder than the fact that he betrayed them.

'No...is it because he betrayed them that he can stand witness to something like this? Either way, this means that...there is some truth to the story that the other guy told me,' Raya Pazier thought to herself as she tried assessing this whole situation.

This situation was...it was messy, but well. Raya Pazier didn't have the slightest intention or change to change something in this situation.

It's not like she can do something in this situation when she is being locked up by Lucifer's mana barrier, and she couldn't even try to get out of here.

However, what Raya Pazier wanted to do in this situation is to know the truths of what was going on.

If there are some truths to what Lucifer said to him as Rouge tried to stand witness for him, then what are those truths?

Raya Pazier certainly couldn't discern it as the story that Lucifer said to him is that he just killed the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House and its 6 pillars.

All of that should be a lie, and nothing else should be the truth. That was why Raya Pazier couldn't discern the faint truth in the sea of lies.

Well, it is just because Raya Pazier herself couldn't believe that a demon who she does not even know the name of or anyone else in the Zacharath Kingdom has not even heard of has managed to kill the Patriarch of the Warmester Denoble House and its 6 pillars.

Killing them also means the end of the might of the Warmester Denoble House.

The real lynchpin of the Warmester Denoble House is not its numbers or any organizations under them. It is the leaders themselves that are setting them apart from the other Denoble Houses.

The leaders are, of course, the Patriarch and the 6 pillars. Their strength alone was able to push the Warmester Denoble House out of the league of any normal Denoble Houses.

'However...if they were to die so suddenly, then...that would mean that the Warmester Denoble House would just go back to being an ordinary Denoble House, which is absolutely unthinkable for any demon in this kingdom!' Raya Pazier thought to herself as she...slowly turned her head to look at Lucifer, the cause of her thinking so hard right now.

That was why Raya Pazier couldn't help but doubt what Lucifer said as it was just ridiculous for anyone else to believe that.

And, of course, Lucifer could see in Raya Pazier's beautiful face that she didn't believe whatever Lucifer said even though Rouge, a member of the Warmester Denoble House, has already stood up for him and stood witness for Lucifer and his words.

"You're thickheaded, aren't you," Lucifer said as he turned his head to look at the corpse of the sixth son.

He then continued to speak, "You're already seeing the corpse of someone who is directly affiliated with the Warmester Family."

"And now, the words of someone who is working for the Warmester Denoble House, what's more, this individual is someone who even you have heard of."

"You have all the proof that you need, yet you deny the reality around you."

"It seems that like my expectations of you were too high, woman," Lucifer said as he looked at Raya Pazier straight in the eyes.

However, Raya Pazier didn't respond to Lucifer's words as confusion has really started to stabilize in her mind.

Of course, Lucifer could see this very well and has just begun to think.

'What is it? What is with this woman that made me want to rush in here?'

'Is it my lust? No. I have already seen a fair number of beauties myself, beauty alone cannot stir my heart.'

'Just what does this woman have that she can make me rush in here to her aid?'

Lucifer tried to list a number of reasons why this woman, Raya Pazier, can make him rush to her aid.

Of course, Lucifer was unable to come to the correct answer since he didn't have any clues or anything of the sort in the first place.

Even though Lucifer was indeed a genius when it comes to things like planning and all that stuff, it would be impossible for him to find out the answer to a problem that he doesn't even know what the problem is about.

However, before even Lucifer could try another list of reasons why he rushed to the woman's aid, Raya Pazier, who didn't react at all when Lucifer talked earlier, finally said something.

No, she shouted something, and that was..."Ah! I remember now!" Raya Pazier said, and she turned her head almost immediately towards Lucifer's direction.

"You...are you an ancient demon!?" Raya Pazier questioned Lucifer with a resolute look on her face, and this made...Lucifer's eyebrows raise a little bit.

After all, Lucifer was indeed an ancient demon. If one considers how long he was living and how long he was sitting that even his physical health was affected, one would be able to say that he's probably one of the oldest demons living right now.

And for the woman, Raya Pazier, to come to this conclusion without even the slightest hint about who Lucifer is...

'Was she able to come to this conclusion through instincts alone? No. That's impossible. In other words, there's someone who told her.'

It was then that an idea crossed Lucifer's mind as Lucifer remembered that there was a race of demons who were able to tell that something was about to happen or a so-called premonition or a prediction.

'Hoh. A premonition or a prediction by someone, and this someone told her about me. I'm certain about it.' Lucifer thought as a thin smile crossed his face.

"Why do you say so?" Lucifer asked Raya Pazier with a thin smile on his face.

"Father once told me before he died...that there is someone who would come to help our family."

"A demon who is greater than any other, a demon who is without equal, a demon who could be considered to be a king among kings!"

"In other words, an ancient demon!"

"And if what you said to me was the truth without any slightest hints of a lie, then...that means you are the ancient demon that my father told me about." Raya Pazier said as she squinted her eyes while looking at Lucifer.

Raya Pazier definitely trusted her father without any doubt. She also trusted his words of an ancient demon coming to help their family.

However, Raya Pazier couldn't help but get suspicious when she thinks that the ancient demon is the young...looking man right in front of him.

As Lucifer looked like to be in his 20's or even younger, he definitely didn't look like an ancient demon.

What's more, Lucifer looked to be a very edgy man due to what he said earlier.

There's no way that an ancient demon would be an edgy man...an ancient demon should be wise due to his old age, and one who just seems to have his knowledge flow out of him naturally.

At least, that's how Raya Pazier viewed ancient demons.

That was why Raya Pazier couldn't help but get suspicious about Lucifer being the ancient demon.

However, Lucifer didn't really care about any of that as...finally, a clue appeared right in front of him.

'Her father was able to predict my arrival in this Zacharath Kingdom. Her father must be strong when it comes to predictions for him to be able to scale someone as great as me.'

'However, that would mean that there is a connection between me...and this woman's family.'

'Is this connection between us what made me want to rush to her aid?'
