Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 551 - 551: Marriage

Hearing Lucifer was planning to leave so soon, Yui looked at him, not knowing what to say.

Her mother also noticed her. She couldn't help but shake her head, knowing her daughter's feelings.

"That's not right. How can we let you leave so soon? You must at least stay here for a week! That's only fair!" She said.

"Mother is right! How can we let you leave so easily? You must stay at least a week!" Even Hun agreed since he wasn't ready to let him leave.

"I..." Lucifer didn't know what to say. Even he didn't know when he would leave.

It all depended on the next appearance of the formation Circle. It could be today, or it could be after a week. It all depended on the Summoner of the beast as to when he Summoned the beast next.

"I'll try to see if I can arrange that." He ultimately nodded.

The three brothers shook their heads. They couldn't understand why they wanted to keep these strangers at home for so long.

The first brother and the third brother looked at the second as if blaming him. If he hadn't asked this question, the plan wouldn't have changed from a few days to a week.

"Enough talking now. Let's start," Hun's father said, taking the first bite of the snow dish.

Looking at all the snow on the table, Lucifer couldn't help but shake his head. How boring must it be to eat snow every day?

Fortunately, he wasn't forced to eat snow. Fruits were brought for him and his team members on Hun's demand.

"Brother, did you hear the rumor about the Phoenix?" The first brother said to Hun's father.

"What rumor?" Hun's father asked.

"The brat from the Golden Crow Clan in the nearby city came to the city yesterday to meet the Phoenix Clan."

"That's right. I met him too. He was a bit too arrogant. He claimed he was the guest of Phoenix Clan," Hun also chimed in.

"What about them? Why should we care who the phoenix clan invites? Even though it's odd for someone like them, but still, it's none of our business," Hun's father stated.

"That's not it, brother. The rumor states that the Golden Crow brat was invited by the Phoenix Clan so they could arrange a marriage between the two clans."

"Marriage? Didn't the phoenix clan only have one girl? Why would they be willing to marry her to another clan? It was different if they had more heirs, but it doesn't make sense when she's the only one?"

"That's right. Even I'm not sure about it. But if rumors are true, the marriage is arranged between the little phoenix and the Golden Crow Brat."

'Marriage?' Lucifer frowned. 'So that's what it was. That was why she looked so upset when I talked about the guy. It looks like she doesn't want to marry him. Why doesn't she just say no then? It's not as if she can be forced. She could easily run away if she were forced. It's really confusing."

Even though Lucifer was thinking about Amelia, Yui was thinking about something else entirely. She was more focused on what her father had just said.

He said that it was fine if the lady was married into another clan as long as she wasn't the main heir. She satisfied the criteria. Her brother was the main heir, so if she decided to marry Lucifer, there was a path.

Now all she needed was to make sure if she really had feelings for him.

"Then again, Phoenixes are rare. Even if they wanted, I doubt they would've found another phoenix for marriage. So it makes sense as well. Golden Crows are also fire related beasts, so it makes sense." Hun's father nodded. Even though it was odd, he could understand the reasoning behind such decisions.

"That's true as well. I just thought that it was fascinating. Anyway, do you think the Phoenix Clan will leave the city and shift with the Golden Crows after that? If that's the case, we should be prepared to take over their resources that would be left behind."

"Don't think too much. That's still a lot of time before the marriage. Let's just focus on ourselves for now." Hun's father lazily said.

The Elders were the first to finish eating. They got up and left, leaving Lucifer and the other youngsters behind.

...

Lucifer was the last one to finish the breakfast. Everyone was already done before him, and they were waiting for him to be done.

"Shall we get going now?" Hun asked.

"Yeah. We're done." Lucifer nodded.

"Where are you all going? Can I come as well?"

"I'm going to show him the beasts that were summoned to the other world. He says things like that don't happen in his city, so he was interested in seeing them. You've already seen them. Why do you want to come?"

"Why can't I come?" Yui asked, rolling her eyes. "I'm coming. That's final."

"Whatever." Hun smiled wryly. "I already had the carriage prepared since we'll be going to the other end of the city. It's much faster with that."

The group of five left the mansion and entered the snow-white carriage of the Snow Wolf Clan.

Lucifer sat on the left berth in the middle of Yui and Hun. Salazar and Jenilia say on the other end. The carriage started moving.

The windows of the carriage were covered by a white curtain that was walking left and right.

"Can you open the curtain?" Lucifer asked Yui.

Yui opened the curtain, not saying no. "If you want, you can sit on my seat. You'll have a good view of the outside?"

"That would be great. Thank you," Lucifer agreed right away. In any case, he felt he was going to be bored sitting in this carriage in the middle of brother and sister.

He stood up. Yui moved to the middle while Lucifer moved to her seat, closer to the window.

Finally, he had a clear view of the outside. Moreover, Yui was fine too, since she was still sitting right beside him.

"It looks like you like seeing the scenery," Yui said. "Then again, why would you leave your home to travel the world if you didn't. May I ask what it's like traveling to different cities?"

"It's fun sometimes. Then again, it's pretty hard at other times. Not every city is like this. And there are many more factors," Lucifer muttered.

After driving for over an hour, the carriage reached another mansion that was flaming red in color. The mansion looked as big as the Snow Wolf Mansion.

"What's that?" Lucifer asked.

"That's where the Phoenix Clan stays," Yui explained.
