How Shameless!

Cifer's lips formed a heartwarming smile. "So... you agree that you care about me?"

Feeling self-conscious, Luciana quickly put some distance between them. "I don't care," she denied.

Cifer's smile widened.

"You call yourself my husband," she remarked.

"That's right," Cifer confirmed.

"Then introduce yourself," she asked.

"Haven't I done that already?" he responded.

"I mean how I will address you."

"Oh, that's easy, just call me sweetheart," Cifer suggested.

Luciana was dumbfounded but she noticed that Cifer seemed reluctant to reveal his real identity to her.

"Do people in hell have the same character as you?" she inquired.

"I think so," Cifer replied.

"Then hell is truly a corrupt place, I bet you are their leader," Luciana remarked.

Cifer did not reply, but a sweet smile remained on his lips.

Luciana hissed. "Your name?"

"Sweetheart," was all Cifer said.

"I asked for your name please, be serious for the Devil's sake!" Luciana insisted.

Cifer suddenly became serious. "Wow... you seem to be a fan of the Devil."

"That's less your business," Luciana replied, annoyed.

"You asked me to be serious for his sake," Cifer pointed out.

"That was just a saying," Luciana replied dismissively.

"I don't believe you."

"Mr. man, introduce yourself," Luciana demanded.

Cifer remained silent, and Luciana stared at him fixedly, waiting for his reply, but he didn't speak.

"Forget it... I want to go out, I don't want my sister to be worried about me," she said, changing the topic.

Cifer raised his brows. "Only her?"

"Who else?" asked Luciana.

Cifer's brows furrowed. "You forget him or you do not care about him?"

"Who are you talking about?" Luciana asked, thinking that Cifer was referring to someone special.

"You don't have to remember if you don't remember. Eat something before I lead you out," he said, helping Luciana sit on the bed.

Luciana was staring at him dumbfoundedly and watched as Cifer fed her without feeling disgusted. She wanted to resist, but her greedy body refused to follow her heart's command and allowed Cifer to feed her.

....

After Luciana left, Cifer's black-colored eyes turned back to bloody red. His cheerful expression disappeared, and the air became as cold as ice.

A young man with two little horns on his head appeared in front of him and bowed respectfully. "Congratulations, Lord Lucifer, for finding the lady."

Lucifer, whose name was shortened to Cifer, passed by the man and stared in the direction where Luciana had gone. "Her body is still in the palace, I finally found her when her soul and consciousness joined together to form a body. Her memories are not here, not even near."

"My Lord," the man expressed his confusion.

"I checked her soul when she was unconscious. Her soul and consciousness took the same path immediately after they were separated from her body, developing a body inside a woman. It's a pity that the woman was killed, and Aroga, the forbidden snake, adopted her. Because of her missing memories, she forgets things easily."

"My Lord, you mean the Queen's body was just a form?"

Lucifer smiled coldly in reply.

"My Lord, should I arrange a grand ceremony in hell?" the man asked.

"No need. She is still confused about me. I am finding my way in," Lucifer said.

The man nodded in understanding. "Then, I will go and inform the people that the Queen has been found."

Lucifer nodded his head, and the man disappeared. Immediately after the horned man left, Lucifer also disappeared.

Dorny Mansion.

"Lucy dear! I was so worried. Where have you been for the past two months?" Dorny asked with a worried expression on her face. She looked as if she hadn't had a moment's rest.

"What do you mean, two months?" Luciana questioned, surprised.

"Yes, two months. I have been searching for you every day, but all my efforts have been hopeless. I even threatened that Eon guy every day. My plan was to kill him if I didn't find you at the end of this month. He is the one who caused your sudden disappearance," Dorny explained.

"Eon," Luciana thought deeply, and the blurry memories of conversations with Eon and the man in black became clear. She held her aching head and remained silent.

Dorny blinked twice. "You finally know his reason for approaching you. I am sure you already plan to keep your distance away from him," she said calmly, waiting for Luciana positive answer.

Luciana look at Dorny and nod her head. "Just want to repay him for his kindness all this while. That is the only thing that is between us". She said.

You don't have to worry about that. I have done it on your behalf. If you want to repay someone, that should be me. "Dorny reply proudly and her pale face gain colour".

You did it?

Yeah..I prefer you owing me than owing an outsider.

Luciana raise her brows. "How did you do it?"

He wanted to use you to bring down the Rasmond family. One of the most powerful family in the country. They both seems to have guard against each other but it is none of my business so I take the Post instead of you and I help him break the family. I also warn him to stay away from you after that. "Dorny explain".

It's not that easy. I also know something about the family. "Luciana frown her brows and look at Dorny suspiciously". You use your charming ability to seduce the youngest son in the family right.

Dorny was suprise. "How did you know?"

I know you more than anyone Dorny, you can't lie to me. Those people Will surely be after you especially the one you seduce. Dorny how many times will I tell you not to risk your safety because of me?. "Luciana was now angry".

I... just don't want you to be indebted to a human. "Dorny stammered".

Luciana remained silent, but her gaze showed her anger.

"Lucy," Dorny said.

Silence.

"Lucy, I am sorry," Dorny said.

Still, silence.

"Fine, I won't do that again," Dorny said.

Luciana finally reacted. "You promise?" she asked.

Dorny nodded her head cutely.

Luciana's anger dissipated.

"Lucy, where have you been for the past two months?"

"Tsk. I have been with..." Luciana wanted to say Cifer's name, but she realize that he did not tell her his name. Instead, he asked her to address him as her sweetheart. She fell back into the sweet past, and a smile appeared on her lips unconsciously.

"Lucy! Luciana... Lucy!"

"Yes," Luciana said, jumping back to reality and staring at Dorny.

"Why are you smiling?"

"I'm not smiling, you must have mistaken me," Luciana denied.

"Are you?" Dorny clearly did not believe her.

"Don't you want to know where I was for the past two months?" Luciana changed the topic.

As expected, Dorny became attentive. "Alright, tell me."

"I was with a man," she replied.

"A man? Folk again?" Dorny asked with frowned brows.

Luciana nodded her head. "But he is not a folk."

"I don't get you," Dorny frowned in confusion.

"He came from hell," Luciana explained calmly.

"Hell!" Dorny almost screamed. "Why was he here in the mortal realm?"

"I don't know; he even refused to introduce himself to me."

"He refused. Don't you think he is dangerous?" Dorny asked in concern.

Luciana did not reply. Suddenly, she felt a strong breath against her cheek. She frowned and looked left with her guard up.

Dorny seemed not to notice anything abnormal and continued speaking. "I have an idea. Let's go back home. This outside forest seems to be haunted. We will have peace when we go back home."
