Inhuman Warlock-Chapter 990 : Wedding Mystery

"What reasons?" Lucifer took a seat but didn't pick up the cup of tea immediately.

"First is simple. Since we will be getting married soon, I wanted to meet you at least once before it happened. I'm sure you have many questions, so I wanted to clear all your doubts so that there won't be any problems later on," the young queen replied.

"And the second" Lucifer asked, believing that the second reason had something to do with why she wanted to marry him in the first place.

"Before we get to that, is there anything else you would like to ask?" The Queen inquired.

"I only want to know why you're marrying me. If your second reason can answer that question, I don't have anything else to ask."

Lucifer didn't have much to ask. He didn't even know if there was anything he could ask in this situation. Other than the reason for this marriage, he could only ask about what benefits he was going to receive if he agreed to marry her, but he didn't think that it was a suitable question to ask in this situation.

"The second reason is more of a request... Something that I want you to do, which can only be done if I marry you," the woman answered. "So you're right. This is also the main reason why I want to marry you."

"And what would that request be?"

"I want you to go to a place with me... The Ancestral Domain of my Clan," the young lady responded after a brief pause.

"Your Ancestral Domain?" Lucifer didn't know just which clan the Queen of Star Alliance was from, but one thing he was sure was that she wasn't from one of the Three Major Clans that led the rebellion against the Ancient Clan.

Despite not being from a Major clan, her clan was able to establish the Star Alliance and unite all forces again. This only showed that her background wasn't completely ordinary.

Lucifer even wondered if her clan was actually stronger than the three major clans that led the war against the Ancient Clan. But if that was the case, why weren't they in the battle? Why did they stay out of the battles?

He had never been as curious about the woman's identity as he was now.

"That's right. At present, this world is very chaotic. And I'm not sure if our present strength is enough to help us navigate through chaotic times. We need more strength if we want to fight the war that might be on the horizon. That's why I need your help," the woman explained, taking another sip of her tea.

"Your Ancestral Clan Domain... You think it can help you gain strength?" Lucifer was very surprised. The Star Alliance was already very strong, and this woman was planning to become even stronger? If that happened, wasn't it very troublesome for him since sooner or later, that strength was only going to be used on him?

"That's right. Unfortunately, I can't enter that place alone. According to the restrictions set by our ancestors, a son of the clan can enter the Domain at any time, but for a daughter of the clan, she can only enter with her husband, and that too, if the husband is from the same clan."

The Queen of the Star Alliance told Lucifer some things that she never told anyone else before. Even Lucifer was slightly surprised. A clan which placed more focus on the male heir? That was ordinary since there were many clans in this world like that, but a clan that focused on the purity of bloodline so much that an heir could only marry a member of another heir? That was unexpected.

As Lucifer got to learn more about the woman, her origins became even more mysterious to him. Just why did he have no information about her clan? Now that his memories had merged with his other self from a timeline that shouldn't have existed, he knew a lot about the old clans of this universe and the ones who fought against his clan.

Even in those memories, he couldn't find any mention of this woman. In fact, even his other self was curious about the secret identity of the woman which made him hesitate in directly attacking the Star Alliance.

"I'm not from your clan. So even if I marry you, won't you be unqualified to enter?" Lucifer asked, slightly curious. The woman was marrying him so she could enter the Realm of her clan, but what if that didn't work? Wasn't she only going to get upset later? He didn't believe that the woman would've ignored a flaw that was obvious.

"Don't worry about that. I've already thought about it," the Star Alliance Queen casually answered. "Your Bloodline is special. It is a universal bloodline, with a trade of all bloodlines. Even I don't know why your Bloodline is so special, but it also has a trace of my bloodline. I had it checked before I even saw you."

"Ever since then, I've been paying some attention to you. However, even I didn't expect that I would be marrying you. I didn't expect to have to enter the Realm so soon."

"What about your own clan? Why don't you marry one from your own clan instead of taking such a long route? Isn't it still not confirmed if my partial matching Bloodline will be accepted. What if you marry me only to fail?"

Even though her reasoning was solid, he still didn't understand why the woman was selecting someone like him, instead of someone from his own clan.

"You don't have to think about that. Just know that your services will be heavily rewarded. After I marry you, your influence and strength will increase by leaps and bounds. You'll never have to work hard. You can just relax in the castle and enjoy your life. Isn't that a future that everyone wants?"

At this point, Lucifer understood a lot. This woman was going to marry him, but it was only a trade deal between them. The marriage was a sham. However, she was also right that it could benefit him a lot.

This marriage could give him access to the entire Star Alliance. However, this came with a bigger problem for him. If the woman succeeded, wasn't she going to get even stronger?

He didn't know just how strong the ancient realm was going to make her, but he knew that this kind of strength was only going to be used against him when she found out his real identity. Could he really help her with this?
