One True God

Chapter 35: Key points

'A demon who fakes things wouldn't be able to stay calm under my pressure. He's really from the Luciferian Empire...'

Sebastian thought as he tried to stick things together.

Lucifer was able to...talk down on the Zacharath Kingdom. He was also able to remain calm.

He was also able to accurately tell the situation between the kingdom and empire by saying that he knows the differences between them.

He also knows that the Luciferian Empire wouldn't even think of assassinating or trying to make the princess of the Zacharath Kingdom their pawn.

And that was all done while being under Sebastian's pressure.

Although it may seem not like it, Sebastian was actually pretty strong.

He was stronger than most of his peers, and that was why he was the butler of the princess.

It was to serve the princess, but mostly, to protect her at the same time.

Even Lucifer himself, a Hell God from the past, recognized Sebastian's strength.

That was also why he could tell that Lucifer was not lying. Well, that was because Lucifer was someone even greater than what Sebastian ever thought of.

Anyway, all these key points made Sebastian really assured that Lucifer was from the Luciferian Empire.

If Lucifer was from the Luciferian Empire, there were really no problems.

He would be able to take the exam and continue living here if he wanted to. After all, it's not like there was a ban or something.

After all, it's not like every peasant of the Luciferian Empire was the cause of the...disturbance between the two nations.

It was the leaders of the Luciferian Empire who were making these waves of disturbance.

However, there was one problem, and that was...

'He's too outstanding.'

Right, Lucifer was too outstanding, and he seems to be perfect in every aspect.

Of course, Sebastian knew that Lucifer only had a Common Rank with his Demonic Origin.

However, with the way Lucifer talked and handled himself while under pressure...that was enough to strike an impression on Sebastian.

And the fact that a demon from the Luciferian Empire was too outstanding, in Sebastian's perspective, was...dangerous.

Even if Lucifer was just a peasant who wasn't that famous, as Sebastian didn't know any Lucisferre from the Luciferian Empire, it was still dangerous.

After all, having someone so smart and so...smooth from the Luciferian Empire be in the capital city of the Zacharact Kingdom...that was just poison.

However, there was still an issue about it.

As long as Lucifer was from the Luciferian Empire, Sebastian wouldn't really be able to touch him. After all, killing someone from the Luciferian Empire would be a declaration of war to the Luciferian Empire.

If one of the leaders of the Luciferian Empire were to get wind of one of the Luciferian Empire's citizens dying in Zacharath Kingdom's land, it was easy to guess that they would use it for the official reason of war.

That was why Sebastian wouldn't be able to do things to Lucifer right now.

Of course, if the situation with the Luciferian Empire were to escalate, it wouldn't really matter.

However, as things were still peaceful right now, Sebastian would have to walk in the gray zone.

And that gray zone was...

'I would have to investigate why he came here.'

'That...and, I would have to keep an eye on him.'

Sebastian thought as his eyes turned sharp. This was the only thing that he could think of to keep things smooth.

And by keeping an eye on Lucifer, Sebastian would be able to tell if there were shady business going on.

Of course, Sebastian is prepared to kill Lucifer. After all, it's not like the war between the Luciferian Empire could still be avoided.

It was inevitable. And the Zacharath Kingdom was just trying to prolong it so that they could try to get some allies to back them up.

That was also one of the reasons why Sebastian couldn't kill Lucifer now.

If it were to become known that one of the vassals of the Zacharath Kingdom killed a no-name citizen from the Luciferian Empire while it was still peaceful, no one would want to do business with them.

'What a troublesome situation this has become.' Sebastian thought as his steps resounded out in this place.

However, it seems that he couldn't just leave without paying the price for wasting Lucifer's time.

Why? It was because Lucifer spoke as he quickly chased for Sebastian.

"Ah, wait!"

"I have a question."

Lucifer said as he stopped right before Sebastian. It seems that this question was really urgent as Lucifer...had quite the frustrated look on his face.

Of course, Sebastian stopped when Lucifer was before him, and that was also why Sebastian was confused.

'Did I offend him earlier?' Sebastian thought as he looked at Lucifer's frustrated look.

After all, it would be more reasonable to think that something went wrong to dampen Lucifer's mood, and Lucifer would want Sebastian's apology.

That was how things mostly worked during times like these, and Sebastian knew it all too well.

After all, he had to deal with young masters from Denoble houses from time to time.

Anyway, Sebastian intended to apologize to Lucifer if that was the case. Of course, that was all just a facade, and he immediately went to bow his head.

No, before he could even bow his head, Lucifer spoke as he looked at the old man.

"What academy would I test for, and where do I go from now?"

"The examiner and the other demons were out all of a sudden as the princess and I were talking to each other."

Lucifer said as he raised his hand to scratch the back of his head.

The way that he scratched his head truly looked like a troubled young youth.

Of course, that was just fake. But it was the truth that Lucifer was having problems with not knowing the location or things like that.

And when Sebastian heard that, he quickly pointed towards a door and spoke.

"Ah, if that's the case, you should go on that way, and ask for the examiner."

And right after saying those words, Lucifer quickly turned around and walked towards the direction where Sebastian pointed.

It didn't take him long to disappear, and Sebastian was the only one left in here.

"Whew. I thought he wanted me to apologize. I guess there are some good demons in the Luciferian Empire, too."

Sebastian said as he shook his head. He then began to walk towards the place where Velma disappeared.
