Lucifer furrowed his brows hard. The irritation in his chest grew even more. Lucifer knows the real reason why Roxus doesn't want to marry him is that Roxus is worried that he will start to have the right to take advantage of Roxus' family as Roxus husband. But Lucifer has vowed not to disturb the peace of Roxus' family. In truth, Lucifer only wanted to secure the status quo between himself and Roxus.
It wasn't like he wanted to hold Roxus's family hostage, but, in this world, only Roxus could prevent Lucifer from achieving his goal, so...Lucifer sighed. He can't offend her.
"Why does she never want to believe it even though I've said that I love her so many times?" asked Lucifer quietly.
Even though Lucifer did not love Roxus, he expected Roxus to be a little gentler to him, consider him family, and treat him like she treated Ernacht, Amaranth, and Eoin. If Roxus was willing to think of him as family, he was sure that nothing would get in his way again in this world, not even a god.
Ernacht, who was still standing there, seemed to want to say something even though he was hesitant.
"Young Master, say what you want to say," said Lucifer, looking understandingly at Ernacht.
Ernacht shook his head. "Sir Lucius, Ayunda seems to already know about your feelings," said Ernacht.
"Of course, she already knows," said Lucifer. Lucifer was sure that Roxus knows a lot more, and... "She knows something I don't know," and whatever it is, he is sure that Roxus is thinking that marrying him is not a good idea for her life.
Ernacht cocked his face. "Oh..." he muttered, confused. He could see that his future brother-in-law had a defeated expression. "But, Sir Lucius, why do you say Ayunda needs a Calamity Dragon's Heart?" he asked.
"Because an Archmage without Mana Core seems to need a strong body. After she ate the Calamity Dragon's Heart, her body would probably be able to become even stronger than before. Hmm... maybe one Heart won't be enough. Should I bring two?" Lucifer's mutter at the end of his words gave Ernacht the chills.
In the first place, who would have thought of bringing a Calamity Dragon's Heart to strengthen one's body? What's more, the two hearts of the most terrifying creatures in this world?
"How many Calamity Dragons are in this world…? There are at least 9 of them, right? Maybe next year I will bring the rest, but it looks like this time, just one is enough," Lucifer made Ernacht gasp again.
'The rest'? Is he planning to eradicate the 9 Calamity Dragons, legendary beings who are almost invincible in this world, Dragons who lose their mind on their way to maturity?
"Sir Lucius, are you sure you will be all right?" asked Ernacht.
Lucifer shook his head. "Hmm? Alright. Before the red moon, I will hunt as many Calamity Dragons as I can. Of course, that is if I can find them. Don't worry, I know the whereabouts of at least three or four of them, so I'll be right back," said Lucifer with a small smile.
Lucifer walked away. Ernacht raised his hand as if to keep Lucifer from leaving, but Lucifer walked so fast that Ernacht decided not to get in his way anymore. Ernacht sighed. Everything happened so fast.
His older sister was now an Archmage, and the man who loved her was a Swordmaster who thought that slaying a Calamity Dragon was like butchering a chicken.
"Will they be okay?" Roxus asked.
Ernacht was taken aback. His sister who had left earlier had reappeared by his side. "...they?" asked Ernacht.
"The Calamity Dragons," Roxus replied.
Ernacht fell silent. "So Sir Lucius will kill them all?" Ernacht's pale expression made Roxus smile faintly.
"I'm sure Luci can even kill an Ancient Dragon right now," Roxus said quietly. "But the weakest Ancient Dragon..." Roxus nodded slowly.
Again, Ernacht didn't know how to speak. "...Could Sir Lucius be... an Incarnation of God...?"
"Oh, that's right. Luci is planning to become a Demigod," Roxus said later.
Demigod. The existence of a myth that has only been reached by early humans. Demigods are the first 99 humans born in this world. They were very wise and decided to divide the planet into 99 parts. After that, they decided to stay in their respective places, on earth, in the ocean, in the mountains, or even in the sky and became gods, while creating their own respective dimensions, and staying at the place named Heaven.
In the past, before becoming a devil, Lucifer was also a Demigod. When some Demigods became Gods, strife broke out and as a result, several Gods and Demigods died.
It was this strife that gave birth to the devils. Those who decide to destroy order in the world turn into devils and another dimension called Hell is formed in this universe to separate them from the worlds of Gods and Humans.
Lucifer is a devil. A Demon Lord, after all. He was even stronger than most gods, but he couldn't kill a god because he was bound by the heavenly rules.
Roxus chuckled. "While he wanted to be Demigods, why would he want to marry me?"
Ernacht tilted his face in confusion, and because he didn't have the energy to react to all the surprises his sister gave him. "What if he wanted to become a Demigod, and what if he wanted to marry you? The two wishes seem normal to me,"
Roxus turned to Ernacht, looking surprised, and then burst out laughing. Ernacht became even more confused.
"Of course... there's nothing wrong with it, huh?" Roxus asked with an expression that could make all the men in the world flutter at the sight. It was a faint smile. Her face was flushed sweetly like a pink rose, and her gaze was warm like the morning sun.
As I thought, whispered Ernacht to himself. It's not that his sister doesn't love Lucifer, but there's another reason. And his future brother-in-law Lucifer doesn't even know about it.

News of the Crown Prince's rebellion spread throughout the country. Cecilia and Samael threaten the King that they will kill the Crown Prince if the King doesn't announce the rebellion.
The greatness of Rolia the Pegasus began to become a topic of discussion among the people of the Capital and quickly spread throughout the world as well. As Samael's army began circling the streets to guard the capital, the shadow of the white horse often flew in and out of the palace towards the gates of the capital. Cecilia did lend Rolia to Samael. And now, not only is Samael an Imperial Prince, but he is also a true Knight on a White Horse.
Rumors spread that Cecilia had been weak because the Crown Prince was slowly poisoning her. Another rumor is that Cecilia was paralyzed by the evil ploy of Grand Consort Karolina, the mother of Leonid, and was healed thanks to the power of the new Archmage, and Cecilia's closest friend, Roxus Croix.
Some say that Roxus Croix hates the Crown Prince because the Crown Prince tries to kill Eoin Croix, her father. Moreover, it was an open secret that Eoin did not like the Crown Prince, and to the Crown Prince, Eoin was a great wall that prevented him from becoming a King.
But this fact is covered up by all the rumors about Cecilia, making Cecilia the new main character in the stories in the Capital. With the fame of the new characters, Leonid's character who was a generous and charming Crown Prince has now become a rotten villain with a handsome face. A hypocrite man who looks good on the outside but heaps trash in his heart.
Roxus is the cause of all these rumours. She spread rumours that couldn't be stopped, and they all reached Daisy's ears.
"It can't be..."
