Chapter 887: Selection

“So we need to make him say it if we want to know what’s in his heart? Shouldn’t be hard,” Tristan commented, smiling. “At least we would know what he wants. Then we can work to make it true.”

“Exactly. He had done so much for us. If he still loves that girl, the least we can do is find a way to bring her back into his life,” Yaliza agreed. “He deserves that much.”

“You think it’s that easy?” Kellian let out a sigh. “Did you not see his reaction when Salazar mentioned the name of that girl? No matter what he feels for her, the fact of the matter is that he doesn’t like hearing that name. He doesn’t want to remember her. If we attempt to make him talk about her even more, he can really get angry.”

“That’s true. I think it isn’t easy,” Salazar agreed. “Now that I’ve mentioned this topic already, it’ll be hard to raise it once again.”

“We can’t just drop the matter then, can we? We need to do something.” Tristan frowned. “If we can’t even help him, what is our use? Just to benefit from his strength?”

“Well, there might be a way,” Salazar muttered, thinking of something. “That way, we might not need to ask him about it either.”

“What way?” Yaliza inquired, frowning. “I hope it’s a good plan because we’ll be messing with a tiger.”

“That lady is in the world of Summons,” Salazar smiled. “We all know that much.”

“Agreed. What about it?” Yaliza asked.

“We also know that the stones that Lucifer is looking for… One of them is in a sword that’s hidden in the World of Summons,” Salazar smirked. “That means he will be going there soon. And if he goes, of course, we would be accompanying him.”

“Then?” Kellian frowned, not knowing what Salazar was implying.

“What I’m trying to say is simple. We don’t know if Lucifer loves Amelia now or not. But we certainly know that there was a point where he did love her. If we can reignite that love… It won’t matter if he loves her now or not. The two can be together. It’ll be like a new beginning,” Salazar explained in brief.

“That is easier said than done,” Kellian smiled wryly. “Are you forgetting something? If Lucifer goes to the world of Summons, there is a good chance that he’ll bring Milena with the group as well. Eve might also join. With him surrounded by those girls, what can we even do?”

“That’s right,” Kane agreed. “Moreover, if we’re just going to make him fall in love, why bother with Amelia? Why not select Milena or Eve and help them? I mean, even if he doesn’t love them entirely, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t like them. And like can easily blossom into love. They are already very close after all.”

Salazar grimaced. This did make sense. Was it really right to place Lucifer in a mess like that? If he really hated Amelia now, it was going to be a disaster to attempt what he wanted.

Lucifer let out a deep sigh as he looked back towards the distant cabin.

“Who says we can’t attempt it all?” Tristan let out after a long thought.

“What?” Everyone looked at Salazar in confusion.

“I mean, we know there are four girls. Amelia, Alicia, Eve, and Milena. Who says we can’t attempt to help all four of them to get closer to Lucifer? Whoever gets his love the fastest can have him?” he added. “I mean, isn’t this good? That way, we give him more options? He can understand them better and know what they want. It can also be a competition amongst ourselves to see who selects the right person for him.”

“You mean, you want to have a competition and use him as a prize? Nonsense. He will kill us all if he finds out!” Yaliza rolled his eyes.

“I’m not saying we use him. I’m just saying we help the girls. What’s wrong with it? I mean, if he can find someone he can love through our help, is it really so bad? You might not see it, but I can see that he needs someone… Someone whose place we as his friends can’t take. As for the competition, it’s only to help us do better,” Tristan further explained as he lazily stretched his arms, letting out a yawn. “We don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. It was just a suggestion.”

“This… This doesn’t sound so bad. As the only woman here and someone who isn’t in the equation, I can see the merits of this idea.” Veracity smiled as she agreed with the idea. “But what will be the prize? What will motivate you all to make your selected candidate win?”

“How about the seat of the Ruler?” Tristan suggested, flashing a bright smile.

“What?”

“I mean, Lucifer would be leaving soon. And we here are the people he trusts the most, so of course, the responsibility of the Uprising will be on one of our shoulders, most probably Kellian. But if one of us can find a lady and help Lucifer fall in love, that top seat in Uprising and the leader position will go to him after Lucifer leaves for the upper world. What do you say?”

Seeing the suggestion of Tristan, Kellian couldn’t help but smile. This guy was still after the seat. However, this wasn’t bad either. At least this could help motivate him. In any case, it wasn’t entirely sure if Lucifer was actually going to select one of them to rule. If he selected someone else at the end, the entire deal would go down the drain.

Moreover, Kellian also trusted everyone in this place. He knew that even if one of them became the leader of the Uprising, there weren’t going to be any major changes. They were all a team. And even if there was some problem, they could still solve it.

“Alright. I agree. If it helps Lucifer, I don’t mind giving up the seat. So who do you want to help?” Kellian asked. “Who do you select?”

“Of course, I will select Alicia. I still help her. She has been with Uprising for the longest. Lucifer knows her longer than he has known other girls. And if it’s a race, I believe I can make her win. As for Eve and Milena, I don’t have a nice bond with them, so I doubt they would even listen. As for Amelia, I don’t even want to touch that headache who has already pissed off Lucifer,” Tristan explained.

“So I selected Alicia to help,” he declared his final decision. “I will make sure Lucifer falls for her.”
