Chapter 1028 Chapter 1028

Not a single person was allowed to enter the Royal Palace without going through the checking. However, that was only for the ordinary people. When it came to the Draconians, no one really dared to check their invitation.

For guests that were too powerful, there were special guards placed at the entrance who were experts in being able to roughly guess the strength of the other person.

Although they couldn't know how strong the powerful guests actually were, they could at least estimate if the guest was stronger than them. Only if a guest was stronger than them were they able to take the lead in welcoming the guest.

Since the powerful guests couldn't really be treated with disrespect and made to go through checking like ordinary people, the special envoys greeted those guests and respectfully asked about their identity.

The Envoys were also the ones who recognised the strength of the Draconians. While one of them greeted the Draconians respectfully, the other went into the palace to inform the King, thus solving a potentially dangerous problem.

Fortunately, other than the Draconians, they hadn't seen any guest with such an extraordinary aura. However that was all about to change as they felt an aura that didn't feel weaker than the Draconians at all.

If anything, this aura felt even more dangerous despite being more subtle. The two envoys looked at each other, frowning.

Their eyes searched through the surroundings to find the guest who had arrived uninvited. After only a few seconds, their gaze ended up on a young man in the distance.

The young man was walking towards the Royal Palace. His pace was stable, each step covering exactly the identical distance.

The Envoys were also surprised at the looks of the person. Just like the Draconians, the newly arrived guest appeared very young. If anything, he was even younger than the Draconians.

But the strangest part was that he looked like an ordinary human. He had no unique traits that could differentiate him from an ordinary human. If anything, the only difference was the peculiar color of his eyes.

In normal times, the Envoys would've been suspicious. However, in the recent times, many hidden clans, that had disappeared from centuries, had started making their appearance so they only blamed their lack of knowledge about these hidden clans.

"Inform His Majesty that another 'unique' guest has arrived." The first envoy informed the other. "I'll go welcome the new guest."

The second envoy rushed inside the Royal Palace while the first rushed towards Lucifer.

The Guards responsible for checking the identification of all the guests noticed Lucifer approaching them. Unlike the Envoys who had special abilities, the ordinary guards couldn't feel anything special about Lucifer.

If anything, they only went by the dirty clothes of Lucifer, wondering where did that person came from. They thought he was probably some servant of the merchant clans that came on their boat. Even the leaders of such Merchant Clans were barely allowed to enter the Royal Palace, let alone their servants.

"Halt right there!" The guard exclaimed. "Is this your father's garden? Where do you think you're coming?!"

The attention of other guests who were going through the checking was attracted by the commotion as they looked in the distance.

"It's him!" The Head of one of the Merchant Clans exclaimed, recognising Lucifer as the same person he had seen previously walking on the surface of water. He was surprised to find the same person here.

Lucifer didn't even react to the insulting tone of the Guardians, as if their words were just noise that didn't even register in his mind.

He only looked at everyone here with great lack of emotions. He still didn't stop moving forward.

"Are you deaf? Or are you pretending to be?" The Guard scoffed, feeling frustrated at Lucifer's indifferent attitude. Even the heads of many merchant clans were respectful to him when going through the checking while a mere servant was showing such attitude?

"Such a pretentious person. I wonder if you'll still be as indifferent if I break your legs!" The Guard, trying to let out his frustration, raised the trident in his hand as he approached Lucifer with large strides.

He wanted to show everyone what happened when they didn't follow the rules of the city. However, he had only taken a few steps when he froze, feeling a terrifying aura descending on him which made his heart go cold. In the next moment, the First Envoy appeared before him.

"E-Envoy?" The Guard stutterer. However, before he could even speak further, the First Envoy slapped him, sending him flying.

"Is this how you treat our guests?" he asked, his voice filled with rage.

He looked at the other guards. "Take him to the prison! As his punishment, he'll spend twenty years there!"

The other guards were shocked. This punishment seemed very excessive. However, they didn't realize what was going through the first envoy's head.

The first envoy was instead saving the life of this guard. He could already feel that Lucifer was terrifyingly strong. And the guard dared to say he was going to break his legs? He didn't even dare imagine what could happen if someone like Lucifer decided to fight here.

Even if their King could defeat Lucifer in the end, but the damage to the city was going to be excessive. Moreover, Lucifer was most probably from another hidden clan. If something happened to him here, then his entire clan could wage war. No matter what, he wanted to avoid a galactic war.

"Are you alright, Sir?" The First Envoy respectfully approached Lucifer. "I would like to ask forgiveness for by subordinate. I should've taught him better."

The First Envoy asked for forgiveness. He at least expected a reply, even if it was an angry reply from Lucifer. But even now, Lucifer was completely indifferent.

Lucifer only glanced at the First Envoy for a brief moment. Lucifer didn't feel love or hate. He also didn't want to form any attachment since this world was going to be destroyed soon. If anything, he should've been the one asking for forgiveness. However he didn't since he didn't feel any regrets.

He had already buried all his emotions in the depths of his heart.
