141 Conspiracy (2/2)

Simon with a raised eyebrow ”B-by device, you don't mean that soul whisper, do you? My Lord, it is too risky, it disrupts one's soul!” Simon panicked.

Lucifer once again just smiles as a reply to Simon who seems to be in a shock.

*”This is not good. Uriel is a monster, he will slaughter every member of the house that betrays him. If he gets to know that Lord Lucifer is planning something against his daughter. I'm sure it will cause a war with the whole house, not just lord Lucifer, also we are not fully prepared to fight these creatures yet”* Simon keeps thinking of the consequences of this meeting.

Lucifer gets stares from the Noble's of other houses who are walking in the balcony along with him towards the meeting hall.

”Is that the Lucifer? The maniac from the so-called house of demons? He looks like a useless twig to me.” A noble from another house 'The house of Rauza(garden)' from Agartha nation wearing a green military outfit talks to his guard regarding Lucifer.

”Yeah, having the brains and strategy is not important. Having the strength is important here heh. The house of Asuras sent this weakling to ask Uriel to be their loyal guardian for the next decade? Pathetic.” Another noble from 'the house of Nina(gift/gifted) from Aztec nation in a brown outfit adds fuel to the words of noble from Rauza.

”How dare you both make a mockery of my master? Do you all want a piece of my cumberjung??” Simon says while he takes out a wooden shaft with flails on both ends.

The cumberjung is a special weapon, it has two double-ended flails of two sharpened discs attached via a metal chain to a wooden shaft on either side, which is engraved with mouldings for grip.

”What did you say, you damn peasant?! How dare you raise your voice against us?!” The noble from Agartha said angrily as his face grew darker from frowning, looking down on Simon at the same time.

”Simon, let's go, we have things to do rather than bark at these people,” Lucifer tells Simon coolly.

*”Hmph, talk as much as you want Lucifer, once we convince Uriel to take our side with a strategy we made, we will destroy you people and I will personally slice you and your peasant into pieces.”* The noble from Agartha thinks as he suppresses his anger to tear down Lucifer, who is right in front of him.

First thing as Lucifer and Simon enters the room, Lucifer gets chills down his spine and sweat starts to roll off his face as he was nervous to see Uriel who is standing right in front of him without saying any words. His dark aura is emitting from his body and his amber-like eyes glimmering from inside his hoodie.

*”What happened? Why does he look so serious? Did he figure out our motives?!”* Simon is out of words to define his terror.

”I'm sorry Lucifer, but Simon just broke the ironclad rule of not activating weapons inside the palace, I'm afraid he cannot accompany you anymore inside the meeting hall.” Uriel says to Lucifer with a comfortable smile.

The noble from Agartha lets out a little smirk from the corner of his mouth upon hearing Uriel.

”Ah, I'm sorry Mr Uriel. Simon, you can wait outside.” Lucifer says and heads inside the room and Simon stays back outside the room, but fear has taken upon him after seeing the behaviour of the noble from Agartha.

”The Nobles from different families of the earth. I, Uriel welcome you all for the meeting held once every 10 years. It is an honour for me to be with the house of Mutual court, and I would like to hear if the other houses have any task that I can help with for the next 10 years.” Uriel said with ease as he welcomes different Nobles of earth from different houses and the meeting begins.

*”20 years ago, I came here as a guard for the research teams. I crawled my way up to squad captain, married a noble, became a noble and now I am a general.

I'm going to make this meeting a success. I will give Uriel to the house, I will give him whatever the hell he wants and I will make sure to pin him down and decapitate him when the right time comes.

Like a person who ties a rope to the tail of a dragonfly, cuts off its wings, its freedom to fly, and then stabs its heart with a needle. Not to mention, killing it slowly”* Lucifer thinks to himself evil-ly as this was his main goal from the beginning. It has been stuck in his head for a while and this is was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

”Greetings Lord Uriel, since the pact has formed between the spirit world and earth, we of Asura house has never once been granted your services. But please heed what I have to say on behalf of my house for the Lord of the spirit world.” Lucifer starts his speech by acting a very down to earth and kind, loyal man. Like a snake hiding its motives for a mouthful of food and shelter waiting for the right time of backstabbing.

After 4 hours inside the meeting hall. All the Nobles starts coming out from the room, almost all of their faces show disappointment and grief but the look on Lucifer is a disgusted face, full of anger. His eyes are red and he seemed like is about to burst out spreading fire aura to burn everything to ashes. As it seemed his own plans turned to the burnt pages.

”M-master? I'm really happy you came out unscathed. I thought that snake from Agartha nation tried to corner you.” Lucifer just passes by angrily without even hearing the words.

”Simon, get our men ready, the next time that kid enters this world, it should be the last visit for him!” Lucifer orders Simon in a rather commanding, yet angry and hasty voice.

”Y-yes my Lord,” Simon says while he bows his head, thinking what took place inside the meeting that made his master so mad.

Simon then after coming to the house seems to be typing in a virtual keyboard which is being projected from a box, shining purple in colour. A purple stone can be seen emitting electrical energy from within the projector.
