"Your honor, we really need your assistance to get rid of the human," the demon continued, waiting for Lucifer’s response.
Lucinda started walking heavily towards them with her hair sweeping the floor. They couldn’t help but look at her. She swayed her hips and climbed the high ground with her gaze fixed on Lucifer. She sat on the edge of the armrest of his throne. He jerked his head to look at her.
"What are you doing here?" He asked, and she smiled.
"It's my duty as your wife to help you whenever you need me." She beamed and he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Can you tell your highness to help us out?" the demon asked bluntly, referring to Lucinda.
"You don’t need to ask for her opinion; this has nothing to do with her." Lucifer said in a rumbling tone. Lucinda frowned, pouting her lips.
"How can you say that? I am your queen, aren’t I?" She inquired and poked him playfully on the chest before turning to look at the demon.
"Help you with what I would like to help." Lucinda beamed, smiling from ear to ear.
"Your highness, there is this human that has magical powers, and he is killing our demon brothers on earth." The demon said, bowing slightly.
"Really, can I go?" she asked Lucifer, and he nodded negatively.
"You can't go, you are not ready for this." He stated.
"I am ready. I have magical powers; I can defend myself on earth. I really need to go." she insisted, tugging at his robe.
"Stop acting childish. What makes you think you can do it when the other demons couldn't kill him?" He asked with his eyes wide open. She looked at him with a determined expression.
"Because... I am your wife," she replied confidently.
"You may go; I will get back to you," Lucifer said, dismissing the demon.
"Let me go, let me go pleasssse." Lucinda said, dragging the word with her teeth bared. She clutched his hand with her right arm, holding tightly to it with her face close to his. He could feel her breath on his face.
"Sheesh, if you say so, I will consider it because you have given me extreme pleasure this morning. I will grant your wish," he said. "Really?" she asked with a grin.
"But under one condition." He said, and her smile faded.
"What is the condition, my dear husband?" She asked with a straight face, waiting in anticipation of what he had to say.
"You may go to earth to take care of the human, but you only have four years to live on earth.
so, after you manage to kill him, come back to me." Lucifer stated, making a hand gesture.
"Four years is too much. When I finish killing him, I will come back right away." she stated confidently.
"The person we are talking about here is not a mere human and he will be hard to defeat. That's why I suggested you live on earth for four years." He declared.
"Oh! But…" she paused with her mouth slightly open.
"But before you go, you will have to take that oath, I talked about a few days ago if you want to go." He said. She scrunched her face in astonishment as unease ran down her spine.
"But that's not fair! She stated, with pouted lips.
"In this life, I don't trust anyone, not even you, so are you going? He asked, grinning.
"I will go think about it. I will give you feedback tomorrow." She said and got up from the throne, walking away as her hair followed her, sweeping the ground.
"I hope she doesn't accept the offer. If she does, it's a good thing in a way because she will
have to go and live among people and see the world from another perspective. But I am
scared she will leave me for a human one day. That's why I want her to take the oath. I won't hesitate to kill her if she breaks the oath. I don't care if I love her or not." Lucifer thought.
Lucinda ran into Medusa's room and closed the door quickly. Medusa was startled. She was taking a nap on her bed before Lucinda barged in, and she had a worried look on her face.
"Is something wrong?" Medusa asked bluntly.
"No, but I need your advice. I was talking to my husband just now and he said that I could go to earth for four years, but I must take an oath." she stated
"What's the oath about?" Medusa asked.
"About me promising not to fall in love with a human while being on earth to complete a mission, and if I don't keep my promise, he will kill me." She said. Medusa gasped with her eyes wide open.
"T-That's cruel. I don't think you should go. It's deadly and we can't guarantee you won't fall in love with a human because of the love you already have for humans." Medusa advised.
"I know, but I am already in love with my husband, and I know, as a matter of fact, that I won't fall in love with a human." Lucinda assured walking closer to the bed with her hands folded in front of her, Medusa grasped her hands giving it a friendly squeeze with her eyes fixed on her.
"I love you and I know you too well to tell you not to go..." Medusa said, "Please." Medusa said, battling her lashes, giving Lucinda an intense look, but Lucinda had already made up her mind. She drew her hand out of Medusa’s grip.
"I have already made up my mind. I am going," Lucinda said, and turned her back on Medusa. "I know I asked for your advice, but I can’t listen to you this time. I am sorry." Lucinda said, with her brow creased.
"Please don't go. You have a death wish by insisting on going. Please think it through." Medusa pleaded.
"There is nothing to think about here. I love the earth and I would like to go. I won't blow it. It's my only opportunity to go to the earth." Lucinda said, walking out of Medusa's room.
"Lucinda! Please don't go! At least listen to me." Medusa said it softly, but it fell on deaf ears.
Lucinda was in her room, sitting on a small chair in front of her crystal mirror. She rested her hand on her makeup desk, gazing at her beautiful face. She touched her hair.
"I will have to cut my hair if I don't want to be weird in human society." She muttered, touching her hair. She looked around the desk for her scissors, but she couldn’t find them. She opened her bottom drawer, peering through it. She felt a strong wind from behind her. Lucifer flew into the room with his black and strong wings waving in the air. She caught sight of the scissors and grabbed them. He quickly took them away from her before she could use them."Don't even think of cutting your hair; it's your unique feature, and that makes you special. You can control it and it will become short on its own." Lucifer said with a reassuring smile and tossed the scissor to the bed, grabbing her shoulders. He placed a kiss on her nape."Really how?" she asked, confused."Close your eyes." he commanded, and she closed her eyes."Connect with your hair and ask it to be short," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder.She sighed and closed her eyes, and Lucifer watched as her hair lifted and
Lucinda couldn’t walk well because she was still trying to process everything; the moving people, the vehicles, the fresh breeze blowing through her skin, the beautiful morning sky, which was completely different from that of hell. She was looking at the sky without looking where she was going. She bumped into a man. His head hit the armor she was wearing. He clutched his forehead and stared at her in anger."Hey, miss, watch where you are going." He said to Lucinda, who was scrutinizing the whole earth."Hey! I am talking to you!" He roared at her, but she couldn’t hear him. She was lost in her own world."Ugh!" He groaned, rubbing his forehead, and stomped away. She looked at the singing birds in the sky and then at the people as they were all walking to their different destinations. She was hearing different sounds at the same time; the sounds of the passing vehicles, the sounds the people were making with their feet, and the voices of socializing people. Medusa heard music coming
"Hey! Stop there!" The guys shouted, running after them, bringing out their weapons as they ran. After running for some time, Lucinda and Medusa got tired. They spotted a tree in front of a duplex and rested under it, breathing rapidly, trying to catch their breath."Did we lose them?" Lucinda asked panting. Medusa looked over the tree and sighted them."No, they are behind us." She replied. Lucinda scrunched her face."I am tired of running. Let's just get rid of them." Lucinda said. Medusa looked around the surroundings; they were in a peaceful and quiet area."It seems we are the only ones here. Let's do it." Medusa said. She stood up on her feet and spread her wings. Lucinda struggled to stand on her feet and started levitating a chair that was in front of the house to hit the guys. The guys came to a halt. Fear gripped them as they saw Medusa’s wings. Their legs started wobbling in fear."They are witches!" one of them shouted."Let’s run for our lives!" The other one added, Luci
"The earth is so complicated, and you didn't tell me anything about money; now I have to sell my armor to rent a house." Lucinda said with a frown, as if she were seeing him. "Don't worry; when you come, I will make you a new armor. Money is part of humans' daily lives; they do a lot of nasty things for it; they can even kill for it." Lucifer remarked."How are you talking to me without being here, and can Medusa hear us?" She inquired, turning to look at Medusa, who was glancing at the armor in the bag."No, she can't. It's between us, husband and wife. I just wanted to see how you are; it seems you are doing fine," Lucifer stated."All the men…" She paused, hesitating to speak. "I have come across people on earth who can't take their eyes off me," she muttered."That's because you are extremely beautiful, and your skin is more flawless than a human's," he assured. Medusa patted her on the shoulder."Are you sleeping?" she asked."No, I’m not. I was just talking to my husband." Lu
"We are going to rent an apartment." Medusa replied. The taxi stopped in front of them.They both entered a taxi, and suddenly, when they arrived in front of a very tall building with a restaurant beside it, they got out of the taxi and ambled to the front of the building, glancing at it."This place has a vacancy." Medusa said, holding onto the shopping bags as Lucinda also struggled to hold the ones she was carrying."How did you know?" Lucinda asked."I have my ways," she replied with a smirk. Lucinda tossed her a suspicious look before turning her gaze back to the house and staring at it with her mouth slightly open.They both entered the building, bumping into some people who were walking out of the building. Their gazes landed on a man who was standing behind a counter; he was the receptionist of the building. He was on a call as they approached him; he was putting on makeup, and Lucinda gazed at the pink nail polish on his fingers. He sighted them."I will call you back." He wh
"Alright, that's a deal," he said, with a smirk, and stretched his hand forward. Medusa strolled up to him and shook him hard, smiling at him. He withdrew his hand, glancing at it.Medusa looked at the shopping bags on the floor and started opening the small bag around her neck."Wait, are you going to pay in cash?" he asked"Of course, what else should I pay with?" Medusa inquired, rolling her eyes at him."I thought you were going to do a transfer." He muttered."What's a transfer?" Medusa and Lucinda chorused."Forget about it, weirdos," he said, and snatched the cash Medusa was holding, looking at them in a suspicious way."I will count the money later, but I brought the documents for you to sign." He said. "Sign these documents," he added, handing them to Medusa, who reluctantly took them from him, wondering where the papers came from."Give me your pen," Medusa said. He gave her a black pen. She strolled to the center table and squatted down, signing the papers, one after the
"Why don’t you just listen to me for once, my queen? I wish you were still young; then you would listen to my every word." Medusa grumbled and also turned invisible, flying after Lucinda, who was already standing at the other end of the rooftop, looking down at the people that were walking in the streets."Let’s go, my queeeen." Medusa said, dragging the word "Queen." She rolled her eyes and grasped Lucinda’s right hand as she caught up to her; they both flew toward the cloud at great speed. They both arrived in front of the mall; they were standing on the rooftop as they watched people going in and out of the mall."So how are we going to appear there without humans panicking?" Medusa asked. Lucinda’s face flushed; she pursed her lips and answered. "You thought I didn’t have a backup plan, did you?" she questioned. "It’s easy; we just have to go into one of the elevators and turn back to our normal form there." Lucinda explained confidently feeling like a God."You are too smart; I
"OK, I'm on my way," she said loudly enough for Medusa to hear, and removed her hand from her head. Taking a deep breath with her hand on her throbbing chest."I was just communicating with my husband. He asked me to go to him," Lucinda said."Why? What's wrong?" Medusa asked, raising her brow."He says he has something to give me that won’t make the human discover that I am a demon in disguise." She replied."Okay, go, but I will go with you." Medusa said trying to bring out her wings when Lucinda stopped her with her hand."No, I will go alone, and I will be quick." Lucinda assured her and spread her wings in the air, leaping down the balcony toward the earth's ground as she entered it like a spirit, passing layers after layers on her way to Lucifer's castle. She flew toward his castle at great speed, flapping her wings in the air, with her eyes fixed on it. She fell from the roof into the castle and landed on the ground in the middle of Lucifer’s throne room, breaking the ground as
