Chapter 413: Second Examination-II
In Hell, it had been known a tradition since the olden time where a Demon provoke another Demon in a fight with something to risk on, and at the beginning Leviathan guessed this was what Lucifer had in mind by coming to the cave he took as his current house. But then there was nothing they could wager and he didn't see any positive merit by Lucifer rousing anger in him.
"Is this a Hell's joke that I am not aware of?" Leviathan questioned. What in God's name was the wedding this man was talking of?
"Surely not. Don't you see I have come for positive intention, your highness?" Lucifer changed his words into a more polite tone, but he noticed how it only did the opposite effect with Leviathan whose hands tensed on his sides as if he was about to summon something. "Really I am not here to fight; it would be wiser if you keep your hands before summoning your loyal shadows, your highness."
"Stop calling me your highness. I am not one," Leviathan admonished, he never liked to be called the Prince of Hell as that would mean he needed to acknowledge his father whom he hated from the depth of his heart, "Come out with it. What do you want?"
"As I said I have come for the wedding. I am here to take your hands... I mean not your hands, your daughter-" Lucifer hadn't uttered the words completely when a sharp shadow's claws appeared on his neck within a blink.
"Ah! Ah! Master!" Malphas shrieked as more shadows crawled over his legs as if trying to pull him into the pool of shadows under him.
Lucifer sighed and he turned to look at Malphas without being bothered by the tip of the gleaming shadow blade that stopped a hair's breadth next to his throat. Looking at Malphas Lucifer put a troubled look, "Leviathan."
"What do you want me to remove my shadows on your servant? I heard how fond you are of your servant over there." Leviathan raised his fingers just by a little for the shadows to open their mouth wide, gladly showing Malphas the inner look of their sharp mouth and hungry drilling saliva. "My shadows are fortunately hungry at the moment."
Lucifer again exhaled another sigh, "Well this is quite a troublesome offer," Malphas's eyes brightened when he thought that his master actually would spare some sense and kindness for him which he doubted at first but swore wouldn't now.
At least that was what Malphas had hoped until Lucifer continued, "Please don't treat him too badly in the shadow."
"L-Lord!" cried Malphas when the shadows who appeared to understand Lucifer's words begin to pull his legs into the shadow pool. When his shoes was swallowed by the darkness, tears begin to form on Malphas. He could not attack nor could he get away. His Lord is killing him for amusement! Again!
"But before you use him as your pet food, Levi. You might want to hear my words," Lucifer turned his face and let his smile lowered.
Leviathan didn't lower his shadows and weapon. His eyes were as sharp as the tip of the blade that were against the skin of Lucifer's neck. "How do you know about my daughter?"
"Is she a secret no one know?" Lucifer asked and when receiving Leviathan's silence, a chuckle passed by his lips. "So she is. Well I knew her very well. I became her playmate when she was young so we knew each other."
"Don't lie. I know your body was held somewhere else when your soul was set in another place. You wouldn't be able to speak with her, and what is this marriage?" Leviathan's eyes widened before it narrowed, "Are you fucking planning to marry my daughter?"
"No way," Lucifer shrugged, "I think you know how your daughter, Elise is able to see ghosts. When I was taking a night walk in my soul form, that was when she saw me and we met. But the person who will marry her isn't me, it's my nephew."
Leviathan was shocked to the point where his words were lost in oblivion. It took a very long time for him to pull himself together, "I doubt your nephew would be any less awful than you is he?"
Lucifer's smile then fail to appear over Leviathan's remark, "Don't test my patient as much as you hate your daughter's name be said in the same line as your father's name I won't allow you to degrade my nephew." The shadows that touched Lucifer was zapped when they got too close, causing some and other other shadows to warily surround the High Demon.
Then Leviathan recalled about the news that Redrick told him. "Is your nephew that man? Ian White?"
"Oh?" Lucifer's smile appeared again, "You seem to know him. That makes this easy. I have come to create a better relationship between us. I wasn't there for my nephew during his most horrendous time but I want to help him this time. There seems to be people who is hunting for your daughter and the power she posses."
Malphas was to become one with the wall so the shadows won't growl hungrily toward him when all of a sudden much to his relief, the shadow went back to the shadow pool and the blade before Lucifer's neck was lowered.
"Just so you know, I haven't agreed for him to marry her," Leviathan remarked.
Lucifer put a relaxed face, "Then why do you stop the threaten now?"
"If I kill you and Elise knew I have killed her soon to be husband's uncle she won't forgive me and that's all. Just as you have said, I have done enough by not being there when she needed me the most and I doesn't want to add another layer of awful memories to her," Leviathan stayed quiet as he snapped his finger. The shadows under him begin to move and one by one the shadow turned into liquid substances that form into a chair for him, creating another two for the rest of the guests. "Also I am curious about your offer. What can you do to help my daughter?"
