章 252: CH. 256: Meeting gone wrong (II)
Gabriel furrowed her brow, and glared at Azazel. She didn't believe Azazel would participate in the war responsible for killing so many of her brethren, but he did and slew many warriors.
Gabriel's hostile reaction puzzled Azazel. He held his chin and gave her a look over. She seemed different from the past as she never showed any rage even if he ogled her. The most she did was gently scold him. Azazel narrowed his eyes on the new face standing beside Gabriel. The Asian man's wild aura chilled Azazel's bones. Azazel couldn't feel any sign of divine energy from him. Nor could he feel the demonic power that labeled him the devil. He had some sort of holy power. Plenty of it, but he had no halo like an angel. Could he be a miracle child? A child between an angel and a human was rare enough to be called a miracle.
Azazel turned to the devil maid holding the man's hand. Her demonic power was also nothing to scoff at, almost to the level of the current Devil Kings.
"Silver hair and red eyes—Lucifuge heiress?" he asked before realizing how stupid his question sounded. Lucifuge was one of the most prominent clans in the Underworld. How could they let their heiress mingle with some human? She must be some other devil, who must've run into the group of Biblical God.
The leader of Grigori interpreted the situation with his experience.
"Grayfia Lucifuge," the maid said, trying to free her hand from the man's grasp. "He is my lord, Asahi Marikawa."
Azazel wanted to call Grayfia's struggles fake. She wasn't even trying!
"Really a Lucifuge. The devil kings will be pissed," Azazel said, shaking his head. The devils who made the mistake of choosing human partners got public executions to make out an example. To be honest, this discrimination in the supernatural world didn't bode well with him. He himself had fallen from Heaven because he couldn't resist the charm of a blonde woman in the human world.
"Asahi Marikawa… you do look strong. New Ace of Vatican?"
"Father, we should go," Gabriel said, coming between Asahi and Azazel. She didn't want Azazel to corrupt Asahi.
"Lady Gabriel is right," Sandalphon said. Her hatred for fallen angels surpassed the devils. The children of Lilith had twisted minds, but Azazel was one of them until he seduced a human woman. The act wasn't worth hating him for, but his action of entering the war between Heaven and Underworld repulsed Sandalphon. Azazel called it an act of 'self defense.' But Sandalphon knew the majority of fallen angels were out for world domination like the devils.
Asahi couldn't help but chuckle at Gabriel and Sandalphon's cute attempts to 'protect' him. He placed one hand on Gabriel's shoulder and patted her head with the other.
"No need to be hostile."
Gabriel smiled in response. The fuzzy feeling instantly lifted the negative emotions off her spirit. Gabriel nodded with closed eyes before leaning back on Asahi.
"Pat me more~."
Azazel blinked his eyes at Gabriel's smile filled with honey. Since when did Heaven's most beautiful angel let a man touch her this casually?
He turned to God with an inquisitive look. "Oi, what the hell is this?"
God gave a half-hearted shrug. "Gabriel likes him."
"Isn't he a human?"
"He is anything but human, son," God answered and shook his head."Why are we talking out here? Let's go inside."
Could it be Michael or some other Seraph popped a child with a human? Azazel pondered, misunderstanding the interactions between Asahi and Gabriel as those of aunt and nephew.
"Let's go. I'll give more later," Asahi said and fixed Gabriel's slightly messy hair.
"Promise me first."
"I promise. Jeez. You're too spoiled."
"Hehe."
Azazel gestured to the devil woman on his side. She was tasked to guide them to the meeting place. The redhead devil blushed and gave a shy nod, completely misunderstanding his gesture.
Meanwhile, the maid fought her master just so she could walk behind him. The devils in the building eyed Asahi and Seraphs as delicious candies. Amidst this chaos, the group climbed to the highest floor of the building.
The devil guided them inside a door. Asahi found himself in a spacious chamber. The velvet curtain on the windows, the dark mat, or the lamps flickering on the ceiling, everything in this room was of the highest quality. A massive triangular table sat in the center. The four devil kings were on one side with their trusted vassals.
On Lucifer's side, Lord Lucifuge's eyes widened at the sight of his daughter. His devil wings sprang from his back, and he rocketed toward Asahi's group.
"Grayfia."
"Your daddy," Asahi muttered and put on his brightest smile for his future father-in-law. "Hello, uncle."
Lord Lucifuge ignored his well-mannered greeting and stared at Grayfia with a gloomy expression.
"Why did you leave?"
"Father… I left a letter. Did that not make my intention clear?"
Lord Lucifuge's eyes fell on her hand clutched in Asahi's grasp. "This is the human you chose?"
"Please address him as Asahi Marikawa," Grayfia replied, barely keeping the emotional turmoil in her chest.
Lord Lucifuge clenched his fists. Although he never revealed the content of the letter to anyone other than Euclid, Lucifer spared no effort in embarrassing him for losing one of their strongest warriors. His son had closed himself from the world. Now, she returned with a human on Biblical God's side, smiling like this betrayal ever happened.
"Why did you do this? Just why," Lord Lucifuge muttered, feeling the devil kings' burning gazes pricking his back.
The door was slammed open. Everyone turned to the young man breathing heavily. His long, unkempt silver hair twined into each other. He ignored the world, blue eyes focused on Grayfia.
"Sister!"
"Euclid."
Grayfia almost couldn't identify her brother due to the silver hair covering most of his face. It seemed he hadn't bathed for ages.
Euclid approached with hasty steps and tried to hug Grayfia, but a hand stopped him.
"You shouldn't hug someone else's woman, brother-in-law~."
"My Lord," Grayfia couldn't help but blush. "Stop talking like that."
Euclid inhaled a sharp breath, his entire body trembled with rage. For months, he was worried to his death for his sister. Seeing her flirt with this random human ignited a fire in his blood. His mind shut down for a moment to process the situation. His cool-headed sister, the princess of Lucifuge Clan, was admired by people throughout the Underworld. She rejected any number of proposals thrown at her. Euclid couldn't imagine her acting coy to someone, much less lowering herself to become a maid. He conjured the only possibility (in his mind).
"Which spell did you use on my sister?!"
Grayfia suppressed the urge to sigh. "Euclid, you're misunderstanding things."
Euclid ignored his sister and glared at Asahi. "You, return my sister. I challenge you to a duel between two men."
Azazel glanced at the devil kings watching the family drama with amusement. Except for Lucifer. He looked as if he'd jump out any moment and kill Asahi for trying to steal his friend's daughter. The leader of the Underworld was as bad-tempered as always.
"Oh dear," Azazel said with a sigh. "Someone is going to shed blood in a cease-fire meeting."
Biblical God chuckled to himself. This was the reason he allowed Asahi to bring Grayfia. Nobody would respect him if he just became Heaven's leader. They will just call him a random guy, giving no fucks to Heaven. How could he let his successor be underestimated and ridiculed like this?
Every gaze in the room stopped on Asahi, waiting to see if he had the balls to accept the challenge from the genius magician of the Underworld.
