Chapter 424 - 424: Entering The Forbidden

"Huh? Why?" Heath asked, confused. "What's happening?"
"We'll be staying here. And you'll be staying here with us too. As for that helicopter, leave that here. When we go back, we'll take it," Caen told Heath.
"We'll be staying here? Why?"
"We'll be taking part in a competition here. Think of it as a challenge. After we win, we'll leave," Caen explained.
"Heh? You and win?" Feronia scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Keep dreaming."
Caen ignored the taunt of Feronia and kept his eyes on Heath. "I'll tell you more in detail. For now, come with us. She'll show us our rooms."
Heath was confused, but he believed Caen was the Warlock Council leader. He nodded.
"Come, I don't have all day." Feronia started walking towards the city.
"We'll be walking?" Salazar asked, frowning.
"Oh? Not at all. Unicorns will come to take you," Feronia said sarcastically.
"Can't you answer directly?" Lucifer asked, getting annoyed at Feronia's tone.
"Shut up! Don't think you're some big shot just because you have a high position in a random organization. It's our Empire! And we will behave the way we want! If you have a problem, scram!" Feronia retorted.
"Ah, Young Miss. I think you shouldn't talk like that. It's never a bad idea to not antagonize this guy," Salazar reminded Feronia, smiling wryly. "You can never know when he'll blow up."
"You mean I should be scared of upsetting the kid? You can be scared of him, but not me. I'm a Noble Elder of the Divine Empire! If I want, I can kill you all right here and right now! Even your ashes won't be found for an eternity!" Feronia responded sharply.
"In any case, you'll die in the competition. So I'll control my urges," she continued.
"Ashes?" Caen muttered, shaking his head.
'She has no idea what she's doing, does she?' he thought. 'I need to change the topic before things really go overboard.'
"Young lady, we were just asking if we'll go on foot or we'll use those carriages. There are so many of them lined up there. Why don't we take them?" He asked.
"Those are for Nobles only. You can't use them," Feronia answered. "And why are you acting like a crybaby? What's wrong with walking? Aren't I walking with you too?'"
Lucifer rubbed his temple, calming his anger. He knew that it wasn't a long time. He just needed to stay put for a little while.
The four of them left the Royal Palace gates, following Feronia.
As Lucifer and the others walked in the Royal City of the Divine Empire behind Feronia, they attracted a lot of attention from the citizens of the city.
Most of the citizens were wearing cloaks, but none of them were wearing a white or black cloak since only special people had the permission to use them.
Moreover, the citizens were confused as to why a High Ranking Noble was escorting them. Who were these people to receive such a high privilege?
Lucifer's cloak was red. Caen didn't wear any cloak. On the other hand, Salazar was wearing a blue cloak. These cloaks were enough proof that these people weren't nobles, so it was surprising that they received such special attention from a Noble Elder.
While the citizens observed Lucifer and the others, Lucifer was also observing the citizens. He found quite a few people with red eyes in the Empire. There were many newborns on the streets.
As for recognizing the Newborns, it was also mostly easy. The newborns also had red eyes, but they didn't look as sharp as Nobles. Instead, they seemed slightly dull.
Unlike Lucifer, Salazar observed the buildings in his surroundings, trying to find something.
Soon, he found what he was looking for. His eyes lit up.
"Luci, look! I found a bar! Let's have some drinks. I've been having an urge to drink for quite some time. Come!" He patted Lucifer's shoulder before he started walking towards the left
"Alright." Lucifer shrugged, not stopping Salazar. That much was fine here. He also walked to the doors that were just a few meters away from him.
As Feronia was walking ahead of them, she noticed it late that Lucifer, Salazar, and Caen had diverted. By the time she noticed, the three of them were already at the doors of a building.
There was a board hanging on top. "Delight Bar."
"Wait! You can't go in there?" She suddenly called out, but it was too late. By the time she called out, Lucifer and the others had already entered the bar.
They didn't notice a board on the side of the gate that read, "Only Newborns and Nobles allowed."
Feronia also ran towards the entrance.
Seeing Feronia concerned, the citizens were surprised. It was the first time they saw a Noble Elder so surprised.
On the other hand, some little had nodded where Lucifer and others entered. Since they knew that Lucifer and his teammates weren't Nobles, they were amazed.
"I always wondered what happened inside. Unfortunately, no humans are allowed there. This is the first time someone has entered this place. I wonder what's going to happen."
"Well, according to the rules, if any person enters that place who isn't a Noble or a newborn, they are to be executed. I wonder if these guys will be executed."
" Yeah. I wonder the same. It's an interesting situation. They were being escorted by the Noble Elder, so they are special, but at the same time, they broke the rules. I heard the Queen is very strict about the rules. I wonder what she'll do."
" Exactly. She doesn't care about the identity of the person who breaks the rules. Did you forget, just last year, a Noble Elder broke one of her rules? She instantly executed the Noble Elder. I am sure these people are dead! They shouldn't have entered!"
Most of the citizens had come to a conclusion as to what was going to happen next. They all believed that these people were going to be executed now. They were all interested to see what was going to happen next.
They all stayed where they were, watching what was about to unfold. No one wanted to miss. Soon, the crowd started to increase as more and more people found out about what had happened.
...
Unaware of what this place actually was, Lucifer entered the place, thinking it was what they thought it was.
Unfortunately, they were wrong. As soon as Lucifer entered the place, his lips opened slightly. Even Caen and Salazar grew shocked.
"What the heck is this place!" Salazar exclaimed out loud.
