"Wedding?" Lucifer turned back, slightly surprised. "What do you an?"
"Since you were sleeping, you don't know about it. But just a few hours ago, we got a ssage that there is a High Beast wedding. Moreover, we were invited as well," Hun responded.
"I told my father that I don't want to go, but he says that we would look like jealous pricks if we didn't attend. And since he's forcing to go, I'm here to force you to co with ," he further added, smiling.
"Are you sure? I an, we just t them yesterday. I don't think there was any news of a wedding being today?"
"It is a serious invitation. Even I'm slightly surprised. The Phoenixes are really in a hurry for this marriage. Who cares? It doesn't concern us. We only need to attend for a little while and co back." Hun responded.
" Get ready. We'll be leaving in two hours. Oh, and also convince your friends. When I asked them, both of them refused since you were sleeping. They'll probably listen to you," he added, waving his hand. "I'll be back in half an hour after getting myself prepared."
Lucifer stood before his room, watching him leave.
He started feeling slightly complicated at this news, not knowing why.
Shaking his head, he stepped inside Salazar's room.
Gon was sitting on a chair with Jenilia keeping an eye on him. Salazar stood before the window, looking outside.
" You're up!" Jenilia stood up, watching Lucifer enter.
Salazar turned as well.
" Good Morning. Today is the seventh day of Gon being summoned. According to him, there had never been a week when he wasn't summoned even once. That ans today; he is going to be summoned. Are you prepared to leave?"
" I am. We have already finished everything we had to do here. Now all that's left is to leave. Keep everything ready. I'll go and et Hun's father. If the Summoning Circle appears, call for and slow down the ti. Alright?" Lucifer reminded Salazar.
" I know the basics. Be back fast. He can be summoned any ti now. Moreover, it's also good that all the High Beasts are going to that Phoenix's wedding. No one would be here to watch us leave."
" Yeah. That's right," Lucifer lazily replied before he left.
Everything was in place for departure, but he still had a feeling that sothing was missing.
" After finding more about the map from him, I'll let them go and leave this place." He clenched his fist as he walked to the main hall.
There, he t up with a maid and asked her about the whereabouts of Hun's father.
"Library? Thanks."
He had already seen the library last ti. He quickly ran up the stairs and went to the library.
Knock~
"Can I co in?" Lucifer asked after knocking once.
"Ah, the sleepyhead Lucifer. Co in." A calm voice ca from the other side.
Lucifer pushed the door open and stepped inside.
" So you finally woke up. Were you busy last night trying to understand the diary and the map?" The middle-aged man asked, smiling. He slowly raised his gaze, shifting it from the book to Lucifer.
"Hmm? Sothing is different about you. I just can't put my finger on it, but you look different..."
"I'm the sa old person," Lucifer replied. "Anyway, let's get back to the topic. I want to know more about the map. What do you know about it?"
The middle-aged man smiled. "I know that half of it was missing.
" How did you know?" Lucifer asked.
"It's because I owned the other half." A smirk ford on the lips of the white-haired man. "And I still have it."
Lucifer raised his hand. "Give ."
"And why should I?"
"Because you want out of here. And after getting that part, I'll be leaving forever. In fact, I'll be gone by night if you give the map. That's the last thing I need."
"I need you to leave, but I'm not in a hurry anymore. Instead, I'm more curious about your motives now. Why did you co here? Why were you after the things from the other world? You went to Gon first, and then you went to take the items that the Thunder Lions owned. Why?"
The man folded his arms, waiting for an answer.
"I already told your son the answer, and the essence of it was true. I need these things because I can learn more about my parents from these things. These things are useless for you anyway. So give ."
" Well, if these things were useless, why would I even buy them from the seller?" The middle-aged man asked, smirking.
He had purchased the map from the sa man who sold the diary and the other half to the Thunder Lion leader at the ti. It was also why he knew that the other half of the map was missing as soon as he opened it in Lucifer's room.
The man did observe Lucifer's expressions as he spoke. He believed that Lucifer was telling the truth here.
" I already answered you. What more do you want!" Lucifer exclaid as his tone beca slightly louder. "Return the map, and I'll leave! What more can you be looking for from ?"
The man stood up, stretching his arms.
He stopped before Lucifer, leaving only a ter of distance between them.
Lucifer also clenched his fist. He wasn't the sa old Lucifer this ti. After last night, he didn't feel the need to be intimidated.
If the man was going to attack, he was also prepared to fry a Snow Wolf tonight, forgetting that he was Hun's father.
The middle-aged man looked deep into Lucifer's eyes before bursting into a smile. "What I wanted was simple. All I wanted was the truth from you. And it looks like I got it."
" Here is the missing part. Take it, and best of luck on your future journey." He started walking towards the exit after handing over the second part of the map.
The man stopped before the door and turned around. "Oh right, are you coming with us for the wedding, or you'll be leaving in our absence instead!"
"You can attend it. I'm not joining," Lucifer carelessly said, more focused on the map.
He opened this part of the map, placing it in the group before opening his part. He joined the two pieces together.
"So that's where it is...." he muttered, realizing the location. The second part of the map contained more information about the location.. It also contained more writing by his parents.
