Chapter 502 - 502: Should've Looked Back

Drake dropped to the ground. The hole on his forehead was visible for everyone to see. The blood even started covering the ground, but Lucifer didn't bother.

"Good aim," Arthur commented. "But you should've looked back. What if you had shot me?"

"As long as you appeared with him exactly where I told you to, why would you be shot? And even if you made a blunder with that, you could've saved yourself with the Teleportation," Lucifer replied.

" In fact, I would argue that you're the toughest Warlock to kill with your Teleportation. It's such a perfect ability to escape. So I couldn't be worried about you being shot. You can call it my faith in your skills. Or you can call it my faith in your abilities. Whatever suits you," he added, smiling.

He shifted his attention to Yasmine. "And that's how we shoot. You got it?"

"Now you can practice and make your skill perfect," he added before tossing the gun to Yasmine. "Now you kids can go crazy. Let me deal with the man above."

Lucifer started floating up.

A red beam of light came from behind, targeting the group that had gathered behind Drake, confident in his ability.

At first, the plan was to take out all the enemies, but after seeing the strength of their defense, the plan changed.

The new plan was to take out the person who was their tank. Lucifer expected it to be hard to find that man, but it was too easy. That man came forward on his own in his arrogance.

That's when the plan was made. It was to distract the enemies by giving them a hint of their plan and using Arthur in secret.

Sincere the enemies had already seen Yasmine in action; she was the perfect distraction.

....

Unlike the other victims of the bracelet, Milena didn't take long to come out of her unconsciousness. By the time she woke up, everyone was already gone.

"What happened? Where is everyone else?" Milena asked Feronia. "Did he hurt them after I lost consciousness?"

"He didn't. He took your man and went to fight the enemies," Feronia replied.

"He went to fight? I thought he didn't want to fight. Why else would he take me out?" Milena wondered.

"He says that the Divine Empire belongs to him now. This bracelet is linked to him. And if he does, you'll die. And only he can take off the bracelet. If you try taking it off, it'll bring you to your death," Feronia answered.

"Also, for some reason, he already knows that our lives are linked to yours. He's using that to declare himself as the Emperor," she further added. "He essentially controls the lives of us all."

"He... I shouldn't have trusted him. He's a bastard!" Milena let out as she pushed her up. "Take me to the Warzone."

"You? We can't! You can't use any powers. It's risky to go there," Feronia replied. "Also, he told us that we are to keep you safe here."

"Who will you listen to? Me or him?" Milena asked, glaring at Feronia.

"I will listen to you. But Your Majesty, please listen to me. He could have sat back and sent the Nobles to fight instead. Why would he go together with them? He certainly wants to win and keep his promise to help the Empire," Feronia answered.

"If we offended him at this stage by avoiding his commands, what is to stop him from leaving us alone in anger? And even worse, what if he decides to abandon the Empire and kill you directly? All the Nobles will die too. And he won't be affected," she added, standing in the path of Milena.

Milena didn't try flying since she remembered Lucifer's words. If she used her powers, she was going to be knocked out again. She needed Feronia's help to fly her to the border.

"You should listen to her." Another voice filled the hall.

Milena turned around to find Salazar with Caen.

"So you're here too. Not running away anymore?" Milena asked.

"Run away from who? You? In case you're forgetting, you're not the Queen you were before. You're nothing but an ordinary human," Salazar replied.

"Don't create trouble for us. You're to be kept here. If you don't want to, then we can do nothing about it. Your stay here is inevitable," he added.

Caen nodded. "That's right. Please try to understand. He's saving your Empire and your men. No matter what method he used, it doesn't change the fact that it's a good thing for you."

"And if you go there, you'll only be a distraction for our side. Let them deal with the enemies. If you want to talk to Lucifer about the rest, tell him when he's back," he continued.

"Oh? When the tigress is weak, even insects dare to talk to her as an equal?" Milena asked. "Amusing."

"Nothing you say will affect me. And it's evident that the battle will go on for a long time. Instead of arguing, you might as well sit down and save your energy," Caen said calmly. He sat back on the chair.

"Feronia, don't you dare help her. You know it's not good for everyone," Salazar reminded Feronia before he also sat on a chair.

"Your Majesty, please?" Feronia asked Milena with a pleading look.

Milena stared at Feronia for a long time before she ultimately gave up. She turned around and walked over to the couch, and sat. "I'll wait."

"That's better," Salazar let out, smirking. "Anyway, you know, I'm pretty disappointed in you."

"Disappointed? Because your friend managed to fool me?" Milena asked. "In this case, you aren't alone. I'm disappointed in myself as well. I should've been careful."

"Not about that. It's about something else," Salazar responded.

"About what then?" Milena asked.

"When I was back in Elisium, and we were first briefed about you, I thought that you were just some lucky brat that got Powers and took control of the Empire. But it was only recently that I was told your history."

"I felt sad about what had happened to you—all those tragedies. But I was also impressed. You didn't have an easy life. You climbed from the bottom to take over the entire continent. That's when I felt impressed with your achievements."

"But to find out that it wasn't you? It was all that Sirius who controlled your head to make you do it? That's disappointing."

As Salazar finished speaking, he shook his head in disappointment.

"Save your pity for yourself. I don't need that," Milena retorted. "Moreover, you're wrong. He didn't control me from the start. He simply guided my path.. I did everything myself."
