Inhuman Warlock

Closing the door, Lucifer walked over to the bed and sat down.

Caen and Salazar also picked up a chair and sat, facing him.

"Salazar and I will be leaving the Palace tonight. So we need witnesses to prove that we were always inside the Palace in case there is any suspicion on us. That's where you come to play," Lucifer explained as he began talking about the plan.

"After we finish eating, we'll all go to bed. But that's when the game starts. At exactly two, Salazar and I will sneak out of this Place. At three, you'll call the Adonis. You can use any excuse as to why you called her. Just make sure she sees you inside the room."

"Half an hour later, you'll change your looks to mine and go to my room. Then you'll do the same thing. You'll call Adonis and ask her for something. I'm sure you can think of some excuse."

"Half an hour after that, you'll go to Salazar's room and call Adonis as him. I want you to do it throughout the night, so Adonis becomes our witness that the three of us were always inside the Palace. Just be subtle about it."

Lucifer finished the explanation before asking, "Do you understand it?"

"I get it." Caen nodded. "I'll make sure that she knows we're here."

...

After an hour, Adonis returned. She called Heath out of his room. At the same time, she called Salazar out of his room, where Lucifer and Caen were also present.

"Dinner is waiting for you at the dinner table. Please follow me."

Adonis escorted them to the dining room, where a massive table was filled with food.

"You made all that in an hour?" Caen asked, surprised.

He was amazed at how much was on the table.

"Yes. Please try," Adonis replied.

...

"That's some delicious food. Thank you." Alicia thanked the maid who served food.

She was sitting at the same dining table with Cassius and his family.

Many family members of Cassius were taking subtle glances at Alicia, smiling. It was the first time Cassius had brought a lady home, and they all wondered if she was going to be his life partner.

The two of them did seem close as they were often seen talking secretly, only to stop as a family member approached them. That act made people even more suspicious about their relationship.

What they didn't know was that Alicia and Cassius were talking about the plan to infiltrate the Academy of Gifted Variants.

"So, Alicia. What do you think of our Cassius?" Cassius's mother asked Alicia.

"Cough! Mother, can you not talk such nonsense?" Cassius replied, coughing. He understood where his mother was getting at.

'You know, many girls have a crush on him, but he never even looked back. I thought he didn't have any interest in a romantic relationship, but who knows. With the right person, that might change," Cassius's mother didn't stop, continuing talking.

Seeing the awkwardness on Cassius's face, his father shook his head. "Vina, don't make things awkward for our son. Let things take their natural course,"

..

Everyone finished their dinner, but Lucifer was still eating. He ate the most out of everyone present here, at the same time, eating for the longest.

Everyone waited for him to finish, sitting at the dinner table.

It was only after he finished eating that everyone went back upstairs. They all went inside their rooms and started waiting for the right time.

Lying on his bed, Lucifer closed his eyes as he lost himself in thoughts.

The Nobles drank human blood while keeping it a secret from the world. But that still didn't prove if it was a hobby of theirs or a necessity. If it was a hobby, then he couldn't do anything with it, but if it was a necessity, there were ways he could use it.

Bringing out his glasses from his pocket, he wore them and called Cassius.

...

Cassius's father stopped his wife, who was making things awkward for his son, but at the same time, he started helping his son without being direct.

"Cassius, this is the first time Alicia came here. Why don't you take your friend for sightseeing tomorrow?"

"I plan to. I'm still setting things u-"

Cassius was answering his father when he stopped mid-sentence.

He could feel his phone vibrating in his pocket.

Bringing out his phone, he looked at the number.

"Excuse me for a minute," he let out as he pushed the chair backward while standing up.

He walked away while picking the call.

"Hello?"

"That's right. We reached here safely. What about you? Did you land in the Divine Empire?"

"That's awesome. So how's the plan going there? What's that place like? Are there any problems?"

"Hmm? Really? You think you can finish the mission in a few days if everything goes right? That would be good.

"About me? We still haven't started. I'm still in the information collecting phase. I'll soon begin too, probably tomorrow, since I have received the information I needed. If everything goes right, tomorrow we'll get what we need."

"Yeah. According to our information, no teacher is at the academy at the moment. It's completely sealed. It might not be as hard as I thought."

"Yeah. You too, stay safe."

The call was disconnected, and Cassius returned to the dinner table.

As soon as Cassius returned, his father asked. "Who was it?"

"It was a friend," Cassius answered. "Anyway, I was saying..."

...

As he finished getting an update from Cassius, Lucifer took off the glasses and started waiting.

As soon as it was two in the night, there was a knock on the door. He got off the bed and opened the door, letting Salazar enter the room.

Caen also entered.

Lucifer and Salazar gave Caen the keys to their rooms.

Lucifer opened the window after putting back the glasses. He turned on the night vision to make sure that no one was outside. After making sure, they left the Palace, flying away.

Caen was the only one left in the room, watching Lucifer and Salazar fly away.

"Hopefully, it will be over tonight." He muttered before walking to the bed; he sat down.

....

Lucifer and Salazar flew through the dark skies of the Divine Empire. As the night was darker than usual because of no moon presence in the sky, he had an easier time staying hidden.

Soon, he and Salazar reached the Royal Palace, where the peak power of this Empire stayed.

"Let's find the weakest part of their defense," Lucifer said, flying closer to the Royal Palace.
