"You can go inside." The dark-haired Noble returned to Lucifer and the others, telling them to go in.
He, on the other hand, stayed behind.
Lucifer took the lead, pushing the door open; he stepped inside. Behind him, Salazar and Caen also stepped inside.
Lucifer had only taken his first step inside, observing the entire court, when he saw a shining rope flying towards him which seemed to be made of pure energy.
The other end of the rope was in the hands of a young man who barely looked eighteen years old.
Watching the rope getting close to him, Lucifer understood it wasn't good. He couldn't let himself be hit by the rope. He cast a barrier in front of him, protecting himself from the attack.
Unfortunately, the barrier was the weakest ability of Lucifer. It was an excellent ability to protect against weak attacks and bullets, but against the energy wave rope, it couldn't do anything.
The barrier shattered instantly as the rope continued to advance towards Lucifer.
At the last moment, Lucifer used his winds to change the direction of the rope. Just the tiny bit of distraction was enough for him to take off his gloves.
He kept his gloves in his pockets. The rope had lost its direction, but under the control of the young man, it again flew towards Lucifer. This time, it didn't go as planned though.
Lucifer didn't use the winds. Instead, he caught the rope barehanded before he pulled with incredible strength.
The eighteen-year-old young man was stunned as he was suddenly pulled, unable to believe that someone had grabbed his rope. Moreover, instead of his energy wave rope slicing the enemy's hand, it started getting weaker.
Also, as Lucifer pulled the man, he lost his ground, flying towards him straight. The force of pull was just so high. To help the young man more, Lucifer used the winds to make sure he came straight to him.
As soon as the young man reached Lucifer, he grabbed the young man's neck, crushing it before tossing the young man aside, not letting anyone know about his decay. He did everything too fast.
Seeing the quick interaction and how swiftly Lucifer dealt with the young man, the Nobles grew surprised. Now they didn't think too much of Lucifer.
None of them knew how strong the young man's whip was. They believed that it was probably weak, and that's why Lucifer managed to take care of him so fast.
Dealing with the man, Lucifer glanced at the lady on the throne. His eyes observed not only her but everyone else in the Court from behind the black mask.
There was one main Throne straight before him, where Milena was sitting. Her beautiful Silver Hair seemed similar to Lucifer's hairs, but they were shorter, barely coming under her shoulders. On the contrary, Lucifer had longer hair.
Milena's eyes were also a shade of dark red, similar to everyone else here, except for one person. Lucifer didn't know who it was, but he could see a man standing behind her with his arms folded.
He was the only man in the entire court who didn't have red eyes. Moreover, he was standing so close to Milena; it was evident that his position was pretty high. The young man looked to be in his late twenties. His light blue eyes remained stuck on Lucifer.
Even though the man had white hair, they suited his pale face a bit. Lucifer couldn't help but wonder if the man was also a noble. He was indeed dressed in a white robe, but his eyes made Lucifer confused. The man was also taller than the others present here. He was taller than six feet.
From what Lucifer knew, the Nobles possessed red eyes after they were turned. Then why was this man different? And if he wasn't a noble, then who was he? Why was he in such a high position?
Milena also observed Lucifer, slightly amused. There was a subtle smirk on her face as she watched Lucifer. Milena looked to be the youngest here as she was only eighteen. Even though she looked Pale too, she looked less Pale compared to others present in the Court.
On both sides of the Royal Court, some seats were placed, on which the Nobles were sitting. Even though the Divine Empire possessed many nobles, not all of them enjoyed such privilege of sitting in this Court.
Only the highest-ranking nobles had the privilege. In essence, Milena's Royal Court was filled with the strongest nobles of the Divine Empire. They were top of the top.
On the left side of Lucifer, ten nobles were sitting. On the right, there were also ten. Counting Milena and the man behind her made it so that only twelve people were inside the Royal Chamber from the Divine Empire.
Surprisingly enough, most of the Nobles that were present here were women. Amongst the ten Nobles that were sitting on both sides of Lucifer, seven of them were women, while only three of them were guys.
Silence ensued in the Court as no one spoke anything. The nobles waited for Milena to speak while Milena waited for Lucifer to speak.
After what seemed like a long time, Lucifer finally spoke.
"Is that how you greet your guests?" he asked Milena.
"Hmm? Since when did you become our guests?" Milena asked, amused. "Did I invite any of you to come here? Isn't that how the outside world works? You invite someone; they come and become guests? After I kicked you out last time, you all still dared to return?"
"Didn't I warn you that you'll die the next time you come? You can't blame me for this now, can you?" She told Lucifer.
'She kicked out Andreas last time while issuing threats?' Lucifer thought, surprised. Even he didn't know this had happened. Now he understood why their arrival might have antagonized Milena.
She had threatened someone with death, but the people still dared to come. It was certainly going to upset anyone since it would show complete disregard of their words as if no one took them seriously.
That also explained why they were attacked right away, but then again. Why was the person that attacked him so weak? He realized that the young man wasn't a noble from his eyes and clothing. Why did he attack them?
'Were they testing our strength?' he thought, frowning.
"Now that I think about it, wasn't that wing guy talking last time? You seem new. Even your voice is different. Do you have a higher position than him?" Milena asked Lucifer. "Don't worry, after I turn you; I'll give you a nice position."
