One True God

Chapter 34: Stating facts

It was truly tough work, but that was not the end of it. After all, even though Velma was now walking away from him, Sebastian was still not.

It looks like Sebastian purposely decided to stay here to talk with Lucifer.

Of course, Lucifer could pick that up, and that was why he didn't do anything as he just watched Velma.

Velma showed some hesitations at some point, but she soon got out of this place as she went to take the Royal Academy's exam.

And as soon as Velma got out of this place, Sebastian spoke as he looked at Lucifer.

"Mr. Lucis...No, Lucis."

Sebastian then took off his monocle with his right hand as he took out some cloth with his left hand.

He then began wiping his monocle, and with that kind of look, he continued speaking.

"Why are you targeting the princess? Did you attend the exam specifically for her?"

"Were you planning to abduct her, and make her your woman?"

"Were you planning to turn her into a loyalist of the Luciferian Empire?"

"Were you trying to make her your pawn?"

Sebastian said all those words without missing a beat. And when he said that last sentence, he then stopped wiping his monocle as he looked up.

He looked at Lucifer in the eye, and it was then that he released his powers!

He released his mana, and it was looming in the air with him as the center!

It was with that kind of fearless look that Sebastian spoke once more with a heavy tone.

"Answer me, or you won't be returning to the Luciferian Empire."

Although Sebastian didn't want to offend Lucifer, it would be another topic if Lucifer was here targeting the princess.

The Zacharath Kingdom was indeed weak when it was compared to the great Luciferian Empire.

However, it would certainly not back down when one of its royalty was being targeted by some prick who came from the Luciferian Empire.

They would hold their ground and stand against them, and no matter what happens, they would fight back.

That was why Sebastian was doing this!

Besides, Sebastian wanted to know if Lucifer was truly from the Luciferian Empire.

The Luciferian Empire wouldn't do something so lowly as targeting the princess of a kingdom as that would lower their reputation and not many kingdoms and empires would trust them anymore.

Even their own citizens might be turned off if they just went for the royalty with assassination or abducting.

Although it seems ridiculous since targeting the head of a country is the best way to win wars, it was actually not.

After all, they were not the only kingdoms existing in the Hidden World.

It would certainly affect the Luciferian Empire's future if they did something so lowly.

And Sebastian would be able to know if Lucifer was from the Luciferian Empire depending on how he would answer this situation.

Of course, no one and nothing would be able to outwit Lucifer as he already knew about these things already.

Lucifer had already thought out about things when he heard the Luciferian Empire's status and all.

It was then that Lucifer spoke with...the same friendly face he had with Velma.

"Hahaha, what are you saying?"

"I know that our nations have their differences and all that, but...the Zacharath Kingdom is simply too weak."

"There is no need for the Luciferian Empire to go use dirty tricks."

And what he said was...truly shocking and something one wouldn't expect in a situation like this.

After all, he basically degraded the Zacharath Kingdom with a happy face right in front of a vassal of the Zacharath Kingdom!

What's more, the vassal of the Zacharath Kingdom was obviously angry about things right now!

It was so unexpected, but...it seems that it was expected by Sebastian as he spoke after sighing.

"Hah."

"It looks like Mr. Lucis is truly from the Luciferian Empire."

"My apologies for the inconveniences that the princess and I have caused you."

"Now then, if you'll excuse me."

And what Sebastian said was even more...ridiculous than what Lucifer said!

After all, Lucifer just basically insulted the Zacharath Kingdom with his words.

And now, Sebastian, a vassal of that kingdom, was letting it go?

That was just insane!

However, Lucifer actually found this outcome reasonable.

After all, Lucifer basically proved that he had the guts to talk down to the Zacharath Kingdom.

And the only ones who could do something like that are the people from the Luciferian Empire.

Well, it was a fact that the Zacharath Kingdom was truly weak if one looked at the perspective of the Luciferian Empire.

That was why...Lucifer was only just stating facts. And stating facts is not something that one should be mad or angry for.

At least, that was how Lucifer viewed things from Sebastian's perspective.

Although Lucifer didn't know if there were any strong kingdoms besides the Luciferian Empire, he didn't care.

He only had to think of things from the Luciferian Empire's perspective and the Zacharath Kingdom's perspective.

Besides, Lucifer knew that assassination and such are not the way of the strong. Especially of a strong empire or a kingdom.

It would affect them more than what people would expect if a strong empire or a kingdom used such a tactic.

That was why Lucifer didn't really think that it was weird for Sebastian to act this way.

In other words, Sebastian was only letting things go because it was Lucifer who said it.

And since Lucifer was able to establish the fact that he was from the Luciferian Empire, that was enough of a reason to let it go.

It was weird as hell, but that was...all that Sebastian could do in this situation.

Of course, if it were someone else who said something like that, Sebastian would never let it go.

No, if it were someone who is not from the Luciferian Empire, Sebastian would never let it go.

That was why Sebastian had such a conflicted look on his face right now as he started to walk away.

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