Chapter 29: ...act? (1/2)

”Wait!” Velma shouted out loud as she started walking towards Lucifer.

Of course, due to her identity, the crowd of demons in this room was looking at her.

After all, this was the first time that she showed such a reaction.

Even the examiner was looking at her even though he should be just minding his own business now.

After all, the examiner had the job of guiding the students to their respective exams.

Well, his work would be easy as the students were now sorted.

Besides, the fact that the princess took an interest in someone was enough of an excuse for this examiner.

It was then that Velma finally reached Lucifer as she stood right in front of him.

She then spoke as she looked viciously at Lucifer.

”What did you say your name was?!”

This was the first thing that came out of her mouth, and that was why various demons started murmuring.

”What is it? Is he the princess' secret lover or something?”

”There's no way! That name is probably one of the criminals lurking around here.”

”Well, there are some...”

Murmurs from all around started to take place, and it all resounded out in this place.

Of course, even Velma could hear that, but she didn't care about that.

After all, she was curious about what Lucifer said.

Of course, Lucifer was just...raging in silence.

'How dare this woman talk to me this way!' He thought as his veins were bulging around his eyes.

Even his smooth skin on his hand started to turn rough as he squeezed his fist!

After all, it was just disrespectful, and Lucifer didn't care about the reason at all!

What's more, this situation was truly bad for Lucifer as he was getting attention from all around!

In all sense, this was the worst-case scenario for Lucifer. Even the examiner didn't plan to stop this event.

That was why Lucifer was just raging in silence. He didn't even know what to do.

Should he answer this woman? Should he just kill her? How should he control this situation?

No matter what his answer, Lucifer could not see an outcome where he would still be...a common student.

He would be marked as the student who caught the princess' attention, and that would be spread all over the kingdom.

Although Lucifer knew that this kingdom was small, he still didn't underestimate the influence of the princess.

After all, Lucifer once suffered from that in the past.

That was why Lucifer started to think quickly as he tried to find answers to this situation.

And the best answer that Lucifer could find was...

”Y-yes? Princess! I'm so honored to talk to you! My name is Lucis Ferre!” Lucifer said as he turned all chummy with Velma.

This was the answer that Lucifer deemed to be the best. Of course, beneath that chummy attitude, Lucifer's demons were lurking.

'This woman better play along with me! If she doesn't, I'm gonna make her regret this day!'
