Inhuman Warlock Chapter 442 - 442: Not Lying

Chapter 442 - 442: Not Lying

Lucifer commanded the maid to lead them to the room of Milena, and the maid also agreed, in fear. She couldn't dare to say no in the face of death which was looking deep in her eyes.
She could only nod.
"I'll take you there, but only that. I don't stay there. And you can't tell her that I led you there," the woman asked, concerned for her life.
She wasn't worried that Milena was going to be hurt. In her eyes, the Queen was invincible, so it didn't matter even if she led these people there. The only problem was that Milena was probably going to kill her if she knew about it.
She wanted to safeguard herself first. "Promise me.."
"We won't tell her that you led us there. We have no need to. So take us there," Lucifer agreed. "We'll be up. Just know, don't try to be clever, or you'll be dead."
The maid agreed and started walking towards the other end of the corridor. Lucifer and Salazar floated up in the sky again.
The maid escorted Lucifer and Salazar through the confusing hallway. She occasionally passed by a few Nobles, which was where her real test was. Fortunately, she didn't tell them about Lucifer and Salazar. She didn't want to put her life in jeopardy.
The Nobles considered it beneath their dignity, so they completely ignored the maid as they walked past her.
The maid soon stopped, gesturing for Lucifer to come down.
Lucifer landed behind her. "Yeah?"
"This is as far as I can go. If you go left from here, you'll find Her Majesty's room in the end. Her room is being guarded by two Lords. If I go ahead, the Lords will see me. I can't go," the Maid informed Lucifer. "I already led you to her. Shall I leave?"
"Not yet. I want to make sure that it's actually Milena's room. You're going to stay here," Lucifer replied.
"Keep an eye on her. I'll check ahead," he commanded Salazar before he started floating up. He went ahead alone, soon noticing two Nobles standing in the distance.
The Nobles were looking at each other, lost in their conversation.
'Two Nobles guard that place. It should be the room of Milena,' Lucifer thought, noticing the two Nobles that were immersed in a conversation with each other.
They were so lost that they didn't have any guards. None of them expected an intruder to get so deep without any commotion.
Finding them in such an unaware state, Lucifer took advantage of the situation. Waving his hand, he used his winds to attack the two Nobles. The silent winds filled the corridor, flying only in one direction.
The two Nobles found it odd that wind was flowing in a closed space, but before they could check, silent wind blades sliced their heads, making them roll on the ground.
Lucifer flew back to Salazar. "I took the Nobles out. The path is clear. You can come."
"Huh? You took out two Lords so fast? How?" The maid asked, shocked. She was stunned to know that Lucifer had managed to kill the Noble Lords so easily. It was only now that she wondered if he could actually threaten the queen.
She hastily shook her head. 'No! What am I thinking! There's no way for him to hurt Her Majesty. Her Majesty is in a completely different league than the Noble Lords. Even if he took them out, he did it with surprise. That won't work on Her Majesty.'
Salazar and the maid followed Lucifer, stopping before the room where two Nobles' dead bodies were lying.
"This is her room. Now can I leave? You promised you'd let me go. If you still don't, she'll know that I helped you!" Standing before the Queen's room, the maid started feeling concerned.
She found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place, knowing that if she stayed here, she was going to be killed by Milena, and if she left without permission, she was going to be killed by these intruders.
"You're right. We should let you go. But then again, we need to make sure she's inside," Lucifer said.
He placed his hand on the door, slowly opening it. As the door opened, it surprised everyone. Why wasn't the door locked?
Lucifer stepped inside the room, floating in the air so there wouldn't be any sound of footsteps. He didn't forget to gesture to Salazar to keep an eye outside before entering.
The inside of the room wasn't as lavish as he had expected. In fact, the room wasn't any bigger than the room he had received as a guest. Moreover, there wasn't anything lavish here.
Only a few portraits were on the walls, belonging to Milena. There were also portraits of a white-haired old man with a young girl who looked like she was only ten years old.
Seeing the portrait, Lucifer assumed it was Milena with her grandfather since the old man looked too old to be her father.
There was also a table inside the room, on which a tray was placed with a golden jug and a golden glass.
Other than these few times, there was only a carpet and a bed in the room. Unfortunately, that bed seemed empty as no one was there.
Milena wasn't on the bed, and she wasn't anywhere else in the room either. He did find another door inside the room, which seemed like a door that led to the bathroom.
He floated towards the smaller door and grabbed the doorknob. Turning the doorknob, he remained ready to attack. He soon opened the door, but there was nothing there either. Strangely enough, this whole room was empty.
Confused, he remained alone in the room, wondering what was happening. Why wasn't Milena here? He also wondered if the maid had lied to him as he flew out of the room.
"Huh? You returned alive? Did you actually kill her?!" The maid asked, seeing Lucifer.
"She wasn't inside. Now you're going to answer me why. If this was her room, then why isn't she here. And if this wasn't her room, then also you need to answer, telling me why I shouldn't kill you right away for lying to me!"
"I'm not lying! I swear to the Empire! This is her room. I don't know why she isn't there, but that would explain why her door was closed. The only people who could have known about her are the ones you killed," the maid answered, pointing at the bodies lying near her feet.
The headless bodies of Nobles lay unmoving.
