Chapter 567 - 567: High Beast Summon

"Maybe, or maybe not," Lucifer muttered, not reacting much.

He casually asked, "Btw; I heard you're getting married?"

This time it was Amelia's turn to go silent.

"Who told you?" she asked after quite some time.

"It's the talk of the town. That golden crow heir also arrived in the city, giving flames to the rumor," Lucifer replied. "Well, I would've congratulated you, but it doesn't look like you want to go through the wedding."

"Is that written on my face?" Amelia asked, smiling, hiding her sadness.

"You can say that. The last time I saw you, you were pretty upset. And that's also when I heard about the news of your marriage. I just tried putting the two together. It looks like I wasn't wrong. Then again, I can't blame you. That guy was certainly a bit snobbish."

"You met him?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah. When I was out on the streets. Pretty arrogant guy, even more than me," Lucifer responded. "With that level of arrogance, someday he'll end up dead."

"Then again, that's what people say for me as well. Who knows," he lazily shrugged.

"What did he do?" Amelia asked.

Lucifer told her about his meeting with the Golden Crow heir and how even his servant was so arrogant.

"That certainly sounds like him," Amelia responded, sighing.

Since Lucifer only wanted some distraction from the gloves and other matters that were concerning him, he started digging deep into Amelia's life.

"Why don't you just say no to the marriage if you don't want it?"

"I can't."

"Why? Family pressure?"

"Kind of. My mother wants me to marry so I can stay safe." Amelia muttered. "For that, she doesn't mind keeping her life hostage."

"So you can stay safe? I don't understand?"

"You won't understand. It doesn't concern you. Just enjoy your life," Amelia let out, shaking her head. "You know, I'm a bit jealous of you."

"Why?"

"Because you are so free... On the other hand, I'm a prisoner of my own body." Amelia stood up. "I should leave before I say too much."

Lucifer looked back at Amelia, not trying to stop her. "If you need any advice on how to get out of the situation, you can always ask me. I don't charge for advice."

"Thanks for the offers," Amelia replied as she rejected the offer. She started walking away only to stumble on her first step as she landed on her knees, letting out a painful grunt.

"Are you alright?" Lucifer asked, standing up as well.

"I-i am fine. It's nothing!" Amelia stood up. From the back, Lucifer only saw one side of her face, which looked pale now.

Amelia turned to a Phoenix and started flying away. Strangely enough, she didn't fly to the city. Instead, she was flying farther from the city as fast as she could, as if there was an emergency.

"No reason for me to get involved," Lucifer muttered, shaking his head, watching Amelia leave.

"Then again, I don't have anything to do in the day? I might as well..."

"Oh heck!"

He ultimately decided to see what it was about as he flew behind Amelia to see where she was going.

As he chased Amelia, he noticed something. He was taking the same route which he had taken to get to the city from the mountain.

He wondered if the lady was going back to the mountain.

Not long after, they reached the snow mountain where he had seen Amelia for the first time.

Amelia returned to her human form after reaching the mountain and landed inside the pond.

"It's certainly getting worse..." Amelia muttered, frowning. Her face was still pale, and her hands had turned slightly greenish. Her heartbeat was also slow.

She closed her eyes and started meditating inside the pond to calm her heart.

Lucifer also landed near the pond, watching Amelia inside the water. He was able to see her skin slightly greenish. It was the same as what had happened with his hand but on a slower scale.

Inside the pond, her skin had started returning to normal. Her face also regained color.

"Are you poisoned?" Lucifer asked Amelia.

Hearing Lucifer's voice, Amelia opened her eyes abruptly. "What are you doing here?"

She didn't get out of the water and kept inside the water so he couldn't see her body. Only her face remained outside. "Get out now!"

"I'm already outside," Lucifer replied, shaking his head. "I just came here to see what had happened to you. It was so sudden. Are you poisoned?"

"You don't have anything to tell you! Leave now!"

"I don't mind sitting here until you answer. It's for you to decide." Lucifer sat near the pond, playing with the snow.

"Why are you annoying me? I don't want to talk to you! Leave!"

"As I said, if you want me to leave, you should tell me what's happening to you. Because whatever that green thing is, that also affected me last time. I want to know what that is."

Lucifer stubbornly refused to leave.

"Fine! It's something I received when I was summoned!" Amelia exclaimed. "Now get out! Since you haven't died, it didn't affect you. You can leave!"

"You were Summoned? That's interesting..." Lucifer muttered, rubbing his chin. "A High Beast that was summoned? This is really intriguing. Who summoned you? And how did it result in you getting the poison?"

"I didn't want anyone to make a big deal out of the fact that I was summoned a few times! We kept it a secret because it was different when I was Summoned. Unlike Lower beasts, I was able to retain the memory of the world even in ours! That's why I didn't tell anyone!"

"So you retained the memory of earth?" Lucifer asked, surprised.

"How do you know the name of that world?" Amelia asked, stunned. No one should have known about earth, at least the name. "Were you summoned as well?"

"I'll answer that after you answer me! Who was able to summon a High Beast! Tell me everything about that person and where he was from? Which country has people who could Summon High Beasts?!" Lucifer asked.

"Why are you so interested in it? Weren't you Summoned as well? You must know the country name of your summoner! You're a High Beast as well!"

"Answer me!" Lucifer asked, unable to control his voice.

"Fine. It was a woman named Clarisse from a place known as Elisium who summoned me!" Amelia exclaimed, answering Lucifer.

"C-c..."

Lucifer couldn't even finish the sentence, hearing the name. Was it a coincidence? Another Clarisse from Elisium or was it his Mother....?
