Inhuman Warlock
742 Chapter 742: Childhood dreams
"Alright then, what were your dreams when you were little?" Lucifer asked, modifying the question.
"My childhood dreams? Forget it. I can't tell you that."
"Why not? Are you scared?"
"Not really scared, but my dreams of those times sound so childish now that I look back at them. They are embarrassing."
"What would a child think if not childish things? Don't worry about it. My dreams in my younger days were even more childish. Tell me your dreams."
"Sigh, fine. When I was little, my father used to tell me fairytales. How a prince and princess fall in love and live happily thereafter. My dream was to have a similar life."
" I wanted to find my prince and live like the Princess in the stories. I was so stupid, confusing fantasy stories with my real life."
"That's not that childish actually," Lucifer responded. "Everyone wants a perfect life for them in the future. To you, the perfect life was what you read. In fact, why don't you make the dreams true in the future?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you have the means to achieve it. You can find your prince and make a happy life. You can make your happily ever after a reality."
"Hahaha, that's impossible. It's impossible for me to find someone like that. A Prince is supposed to be more valiant and powerful than a princess. He's supposed to be the one who can protect her."
"I can't find someone like this even if I wanted to. On the other hand, if I settle with anything less, my husband will always think of him as less than me. He would see me less as his wife and more as a leader."
"Since I'm going to live the rest of my life as a leader, why bother finding a prince and getting married? Why not live the way I am currently living?"
"Let me tell you something..." Lucifer said as he stopped eating momentarily.
He looked out the window.
"My father? I now know him better than I did before. He was much different than people thought of him. In fact, at the start, I was surprised after seeing his real personality before meeting my mother."
"My mother was much stronger at that time. My father was weaker. But they still met and fell in love. And both of them influenced each other."
"My mother taught my father how to be a Proud Warrior who always trusted his heart without worrying about hurting others. And my father taught my mother how to be more understanding and caring."
"In other words, they both completed each other. If my mother hadn't given my father a chance thinking that he was weak, both of them would've been incomplete in a sense."
"It doesn't matter how long they lived. What matters is that they lived their lives happily with each other. And I think even if you give them an opportunity to change their past, they won't change even one thing."
"So you shouldn't give up. After everything is over, find a good guy, get married and get your happily ever after."
"What about you? What will you do after you conquer the world? What is the happily ever after for Lucifer Azrael?" Milena asked. "What do you see in your future?"
"In my future?" Lucifer asked, smiling. A sadness was hidden behind his smile though.
"All I see is death in my future. That's my happily ever after. Achieving what I want to and then sleeping in peace for an eternity... A life where I won't have to think, I won't have to face all these nightmares... I can finally rest."
"Nonsense. Who dreams of death?! And if you only want to die, why are you even fighting?!" Milena asked. "How about you also fall in love? Have kids, live happily?"
"The reason I can't die now?" Lucifer asked. "It's because I want to finish what I started. I want to make my vision a reality... A vision where things would've been different for people like me."
"A vision where no Lucifer will ever face something like this. And if I have to kill half the world to achieve that vision, I won't hesitate," Lucifer explained.
"After I make my vision reality, I'll leave to find my origins, giving the reign of this world to someone else. After finding my origins, that will be the end of my journey."
" After satisfying my curiosity, I'll find a way to get the sleep I've been craving. But before that moment, I won't even allow the gods to take my life!"
After giving his vision for the future, he ended his statement with one declaration.
"Lucifer Azarel will live the way he wants, and he will die the way he wants!"
"Your dreams... I don't approve of it. They are nonsense!"
"Did I say I need your approval?" Lucifer asked, standing up.
"Just you wait. The future is very uncertain. I'm sure you'll change your plan. I'll make sure you get a reason to change the ending of your dreams. You will live... And you'll get your happiness as well," Milena said, not giving in.
"Lucifer Azarel fought the entire world for the right to exist! And he shall exist for an eternity. No one deserves to live more than you do."
"Do I?" Lucifer asked, smiling.
"Of course you do. You haven't even lived for twenty years, and you're already thinking about death? I won't let it happen."
"May I ask why you won't let it happen? Shouldn't you be happy? After I'm gone, you'll be the strongest. Without me, you won't have to look over your shoulder every time. So why do you care what my end is like?"
"I... Because I don't want that to be your end. You and I are similar. We faced similar things in our childhood. We both rose to the top on our own, facing everyone else. When I'm not tired of life, how can you be?" Milena asked.
"I didn't say I'm tired of life," Lucifer responded.
"You don't need to say it. I can feel that in your time. Anyways, as I said, plans always change like your plans changed many times in the past. This one will change too. Just you wait; something good is waiting for you at the end."
"And what good might that be? More friends trying to kill me in the end?" Lucifer asked.
"No. A better life is waiting for you at the end: a wife, beautiful kids, a nice home for your happily ever after. Just you watch; I'm never wrong. It'll become reality."
"Wife and kids?" Lucifer asked. "And who might the wife be?"
