Inhuman Warlock

"That's only the rough plan though. Who knows, we might not even need to go that far. Everything will depend on tonight," Lucifer said, wondering how the night infiltration was going to go.

"I found her," A voice came from the distance, attracting everyone's attention.

Lucifer glanced back, noticing Heath return with a beautiful woman.

The young woman was in her late twenties, dressed in a black gown. From the way she was dressed, it didn't seem like she was a maid at all. Instead, she looked like the owner of the Palace.

"The servants here dress pretty nice. Not bad," Salazar muttered, smiling.

The woman stepped down the stairs and approached the three guests.

"Greetings," she said, bowing respectfully.

"What's your name?" Lucifer asked the woman whose long blue hair came down to her waist, matching her deep blue eyes perfectly.

"My name is Adonis. I'll be taking care of you all while you stay here," the woman respectfully said.

"So, Adonis. Can you bring something to eat for us? Something ordinary that humans here can eat?" Salazar asked Adonis. "Right away."

" Since I didn't know in advance that guests would be coming, I didn't prepare anything. Just wait for a little while. I'll go and prepare something for you all. In the meantime, should I show you your rooms? You can rest." Adonis offered an explanation apologetically.

"Are you the only one who works here? No one else?" Salazar inquired.

"That's right. Since not many guests come here, only I stay here. In fact, you're the first guests in the last five years since I started working here," Adonis answered.

"Adonis, can I ask you something?" Lucifer asked, still thinking about what he saw in the bar.

"Yes." Adonis nodded.

"I wanted to know what happens to the humans that break the rules here. What's done to them?" Lucifer asked.

He remembered hearing at the bar that those people were sent to the bar to be used as a blood bag, but he wanted to know if humans here knew about such things. Was it known, or was it kept a secret?

Because Feronia did warn them not to mention what they saw inside the bar to anyone. That could certainly mean that it was a secret.

"Well, Her Majesty is really stern about the rules. To motivate people not to commit any crimes, our Divine Empire has really serious laws. According to them, all the people who break the rules are taken and executed," Adonis answered.

"So they are killed. Is there a public execution of them?" Lucifer inquired.

"No. It's done in the presence of the Queen at her Palace. No commoners can attend that," Adonis answered.

"Then how do you know they are executed?" Lucifer asked, intrigued. It seemed like these people were kept in the dark, but even if they knew, they couldn't do anything but obey. So telling them was of no benefit to him either.

"Because that's the law?! They are taken and executed. We never see them again, so of course, they're dead. Anyway, should I take you to your rooms? The faster I show you your rooms, the faster I can get to cooking for you."

"Alright. Take us to the rooms," Lucifer agreed, standing up. "Make sure our rooms are close to each other."

Salazar and Caen also stood up.

They followed Adonis, going upstairs.

"Adonis, I had another question. What do Nobles eat?" Climbing the stairs, Lucifer asked again.

"Hmm? I don't know. I haven't seen them eat. But then again, what more can they eat if not ordinary food? I mean, of course, their food would be more delicious and lavish than ours, but that's the extent of it," Adonis answered. "Why are you asking?"

"As you may know, we're guests from the outside world. There were some rumors there that Nobles drink blood. I was just curious if there was any truth to it," Lucifer replied, not telling her about the bar.

"What nonsense!" Adonis retorted. "Those rumors are so stupid. Why would Nobles drink blood? Just know, there are no such things as that. It is a fake rumor spread in the outside world to rile them against us. There's no such thing as that."

She soon realized that she had raised her voice against the guests, which weren't good manners. She instantly started regretting it.

"Ah, I apologize for raising my voice. It's just that there is no such thing like that."

"Don't worry about it," Lucifer lazily said. "I can understand where you're coming from."

"Thank you."

She soon stopped.

"Here's your room. This is the first time. Any of you can take it. All the rooms on this floor are fully furnished, so you can take any of them. But as you prefer rooms near each other, I suggest you take the next four times."

She opened the door of the first room, stepping inside.

As you may notice, this special button is something you can use to call me in case you need my services. I'll come to your rooms to see what you need. You can use it even in the night, in case you need help."

"There's a button like this in every room. That will be all. I'll go and prepare something to eat. You can select rooms."

Turning around, Adonis left, leaving the four men inside the room.

"Heath, you stay in the room. We'll take the next three," Lucifer told Heath, turning around as well.

" Wait! I wanted to ask something." Heath stopped Lucifer and the others.

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to ask what's happening here. I waited for us to be alone to ask these questions, but why was he being treated like a leader? It's so odd and something I can't understand," Heath asked Caen.

"That's because we're undercover," Lucifer answered instead.

"Huh? What?" Heath grew confused. What did that mean?

"I mean, they don't know that he is the leader. I lied to them that I was the leader so he could stay under the radar while I attracted all the focus. You won't understand; it's a high-level strategy," Lucifer explained, lying through his teeth.

"Ahh! So that's why! That's so clever! I understand now! I'll play along too!"

"That would be for the best."

Lucifer and Salazar left the room with Caen, walking to the next room.

"This will be my room."

He didn't enter the room, walking to the next.

"This will be Caen's room."

He continued walking to the next.

"And this will be Salazar's room."

"Caen, now let me tell you the next part of the plan as to why you received the middle room," Lucifer told Caen, stepping inside the third room.
