Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 450 - 450: Milena On The Run



"What are you doing here?" Lucifer asked, stepping closer to the person on the couch. 

"I came to meet you. Can't I do that?" The man on the couch asked, smiling. 

"You came to meet me or to interrogate me?" Lucifer asked, amused. 

"Can't it be both?" The man asked. "Please sit."

Lucifer and the others sat as well. 

"So, why are you really here?" Lucifer asked, sitting on the couch as well. "Let me guess. You came here to ask how I knew your name? Right Arthur?" 

.

"That's right. I want to know just that. How did someone like you get to know my name? Only the Nobles know my name, and they wouldn't have told you for no reason," Arthur answered. 

He remained unaware of the fact that he had already fought Lucifer in the Prediction, and he even helped Lucifer choose. 

"I'll answer that question, but first, you need to answer something too," Lucifer let out. 

He glanced at the maid who stood behind them. "Can you bring us some water?"

Nodding, the maid left. 

Arthur slightly moved back on the couch, adjusting his position. "What do you want to ask me?"

"I want to know about the white-haired man who stood behind Milena. Who is he?" Lucifer asked. 

"About Sirius! Why do you want to know about him?" Arthur inquired, amused. "How does it benefit you? Do you think you can buy his loyalty just because he's not a Noble?"

"It doesn't benefit me at all. I know I can't buy his loyalty, nor do I want that. I just want to know more about him," Lucifer responded. "If you can answer me, you'll get your answers as well."

"Fine. I'll tell you as much as I know. It's not much of a secret either. He's the closest to Her Majesty, always accompanying her. In fact, I don't think I ever saw the two of them without each other for some reason."

"Moreover, as you already noticed, he's the only person in the Royal Court who isn't a Noble. Much about him is unknown as he doesn't talk to anyone. He doesn't have many friends, but he has many enemies who are jealous of his position despite him being a commoner."

"That man... is a mystery. All we know is that he saved Her Majesty's life when she was on the run. Since then, she trust him. Still, she didn't turn him for some reason." 

"Milena was on the run?" As Arthur explained, Lucifer's focus went straight to the most surprising thing. It was about Milena being on the run? Why would someone as powerful as her run?

"Isn't your queen powerful? Who could be strong enough to make her run? And how could a human save her in such a situation?" Salazar also chimed in. 

Arthur shook his head. "She wasn't always this powerful. It happened before she gained her powers if I'm not wrong."

"Can you tell us about it?" Lucifer asked, intrigued by the story. 

"First, you tell me how you knew my name. I answered your first question. Now it's your turn to answer mine," Arthur stated firmly. 

"It's simple. I had a dream," Lucifer replied. 

"Nonsense! How could you know my name in a dream?" 

"It wasn't a normal dream. It was the dream of the future," Lucifer answered. "It's one of my abilities. I can sometimes see dreams of the future, only rarely though. And I can only see up to one day in advance."

"That's why I knew that your queen would be questioning me. That's why I kept our witness ready because I knew that she was going to blame me for no reason at all. Why else do you think we would make sure that the maid knew that we were here all night?" he further added. 

"Ah, I was wondering about that. It seemed too fishy that you had witnesses ready like that. That does explain it, but I still find it a bit hard to believe. You're saying you can see the future? Won't you know what will happen in the tournament?" Arthur asked. 

"It doesn't work like that. As I said, I only rarely have these visions—about one every month. I have no control over what I see and when I see. I already saw one for this month, and it happened to be related to today's event," Lucifer explained. 

"Is that so? Tell me what was about to happen then?" Arthur inquired. "How did it lead to you finding out my name?"

"It's simple. I don't have a witness. Milena blamed me, and I couldn't prove my innocence. She killed Heath. A battle began," Lucifer explained. 

"You and I started to face each other. But before you attacked me, you stated your name, saying you wanted me to know the name of the person who was going to kill me." He continued. "That's why I knew your name."

"So, what happened at the end? How long did it take for me to kill you? Don't tell me it took me more than five minutes. I'll be disappointed if that was the case."

"I'm not that easy to kill. So when we fight, it's not going to end in five minutes. If it does, then you'll be the one dead. Anyway, there was no outcome of the battle. The battle stopped in the middle as Milena took over. You just stood in the back and watched after that," Lucifer answered. 

"What happened next?" Intrigued, Arthur asked. 

"After that, my prophetic dream broke, and I woke up. I started preparing to prove my innocence," Lucifer replied. 

"Why didn't you come to us instead? Why didn't you tell us that someone was going to intrude the palace if you knew about it?" Arthur asked. 

"Why would I know about it? I just know that Milena blamed me, mostly lying, because she knew I wouldn't be able to prove my innocence," Lucifer answered.

" She wanted to use the excuse to kill us. At least that's what I thought. So no benefit in telling. I just safeguarded myself," he further added. 

Hearing the answer, Arthur nodded. "Well, that's certainly a good story. I'll accept that. I can't find a flaw in it either... At least none that I can prove. So I'll take your word for it."

"Now, tell me about Milena. Why was she on the run?" Lucifer asked. "What happened to her?"

"What happened to her? In short, a lot happened to her. The Divine Empire you see today wasn't always like this. It was much worse in the past," Arthur replied, sighing.
