Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 898: Space

Maya held the hand of Lucifer and took her with him. Mak and his vice-captain accompanied them to the exit. They needed to make sure that these two met the team outside. Only then their responsibility was going to be done.

The door of the ship opened. Lucifer couldn't help but feel a deja vu. He had gone through something similar in the past as well. The first time he was brought here by Joana, he was a prisoner even then, but the situation was different.

At the time, there was a small team outside to take him and Xaen, which was led by another one-star captain. Moreover, Joana had accompanied him last time.

This time the team was much different. It was being led by a Two Star General who was leading a couple of one-star captains. It looked like the strongest people of this Empire were sent here to bring him back, which was slightly surprising.

Lucifer was really curious about what he actually was. Why did it look like these people were scared of whatever he could be? They were sending such powerful people to escort him.

Mak saluted the two-star general as he commanded Lucifer to go down.

Maya and Lucifer got off the Ship. Lucifer's custody was handed over to the Two Star General and his men.

"They'll take you from here on. Best of luck." Maya patted the shoulder of Lucifer.

"You aren't coming?" Lucifer inquired.

"I can't. I need to submit my report." Maya bid Lucifer farewell before she left.

Lucifer was made to sit inside a car. He recognized this car. In the future he had been to, he had a similar car. As a Captain, this car and some other items were given to him.

In the back seat of the car, Lucifer sat with the General. Two more cars followed behind as Lucifer was escorted in full security.

After the initial silence, the old General smiled as he glanced at Lucifer. "So you're the one."

"I don't even know what's the one you're talking about. All I know is that I did nothing. You got the wrong guy," Lucifer answered.

"You seem fairly confident. Do you know why we arrested you?"

"I don't need to know why I'm arrested to know that I'm innocent. I haven't broken any rules. And I don't think I did anything wrong either," Lucifer explained.

"If you say so. Don't worry; we'll get the truth out soon enough. We will know everything we want to know, and you'll be the one telling us." The old man smiled. "Don't worry; no one is going to come here to save you this time."

"Who would even come to save me? I've grown up all alone. None of my teammates even know how to travel in space, let alone coming here to save me. And even if they had a way, they are too weak. All of them combined can't defeat me, let alone the Star Alliance." Lucifer rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I'm not talking about your friends from Earth. I'm talking about your other friend..."

"I have no other friends. I don't know what you're talking about."

"Alright, don't answer now. I don't want to know either. We'll begin the interrogation in the presence of Her Majesty. That's where you'll need to answer."

"Her Majesty? You mean the Queen of Star Alliance?" Lucifer asked in surprise. He had expected to be interrogated by the Star Alliance, but the Queen was also going to be involved?

He had never seen the queen. He didn't even know how she looked. All he knew was that he was supposedly married to her, and he was also the one who killed her. As for why he did that, he wasn't sure even now. If it was true that she was going to be there, then it meant that he was finally going to see the woman!

Just who was she? Just who was her supposed wife? Who was it that he had killed?

"Not only her, all Two Star Members are going to be here, along with the One Star Captains that aren't on a mission outside. You're quite the celebrity now. Everyone wants to see you," the old man answered.

"Why does everyone want to see me?" Lucifer asked, trying to get some information. "Why am I arrested? What is happening?'

"Looks like you really weren't told. You'll know soon enough." The man smirked. The cars started rising in the air as they reached the end of the road. They traveled by air, traveling towards the Royal Palace in the distance.

The interrogation was going to take place in the Royal Chamber, which was rarely opened. It was the most secure place in this entire world! Even the old man had only been there once. It was going to be his second time with Lucifer.

The three cars landed inside the Royal Palace. There were already many other cars in the place.

The door was opened. The old man and Lucifer stepped out.

"Looks like everyone else is already here. We seem to be the last one to arrive," the old man let out. "That's good as well. Now we won't have to wait for anyone else. We can start right away. Come."

Waving his cloak, the man started leaving. Lucifer followers behind. The other two captains followed Lucifer to make sure he didn't attempt an escape.

Along the way, many guards and servants of the palace saw Lucifer, who was being escorted like a prisoner. They didn't know what was going on. All they knew was that it was something really serious since all the influential people of the Star Alliance were here already.

Moreover, as Lucifer was being brought by a General and two guards, they could feel that this meeting was probably because of him. They couldn't help but wonder who this guy was.

For him to be escorted by such influential people? Just what kind of crime had he committed? How strong could he actually be that it needed so many people to decide what to do with him?

Lucifer ignored the strange gazes that were being shot at him, rolling his eyes. He wasn't interested in such gazes. His life was on the line, after all. However, he did feel somewhat intrigued. The maids and the servants weren't of the same species.

Some maids looked like humans, exactly like Joana did, but he knew they weren't humans. The most surprising were the others who didn't look like humans at all. Some had horns, some had Tails. On the other hand, there were also some who had scales in place of skin.

"Space..." He let out a wry smile as he shook his head.

As they reached the Royal Chamber's entrance, the guards opened the door…
