Lucifer and Viron glided into the royal court on their bike, dressed in sharp blue suits, subtle mana threads woven into the fabric. The room fell into murmured curiosity.
Minister Marky squinted.
"Blue? I thought your style was red."
Lucifer replied calmly,
"Red was blood—pain, violence, memory. Blue is water—peace and renewal. One year since the Siren Palace case. The palace now thrives as a tourist spot. So, we mark it with this: dress code, case code."
King Kaitya smiled with admiration.
"We never expected your investigation to extend even to attire. That commitment deserves a reward."
He stood before the court.
"Hear this: Siren Kiora Melius shall marry Lucifer in two years. Princess Veronica shall marry Viron. Our laws allow clients to choose their reward—and this is it. Kiora's life was restored. She chooses her future with you."
Lucifer listened in silence, then spoke clearly.
"I know the rules. A detective cannot coerce or exploit a client's gratitude. But this is not pressure—it's chosen. I accept."
"However, one condition. Kiora will train under my mother—learn defense and investigation. Become someone who can protect my agency when I'm away. Only then will I let her stand beside me."
King Kaitya nodded.
"Agreed. That's wisdom."
The king then added:
"Lucifer… I know about your lineage. Your father Martin Kaito—once of the Angel Kingdom—was banned for 30 years after marrying Ilvana Krakeus, princess of the abyssal race and now both are epic level Detectives . That union carried political shockwaves. But your visits to his mentors—like the angel spy Kitso Kaito—and to your grandfather Ketsuro Lucent are no secret. You carry his legacy, even through silence."
Lucifer's eyes flickered with a shadow of memory—but he said nothing.
Viron stepped forward.
"I'll teach Veronica blood magic. Step by step, she'll grow into her vampire nature because i healed her by my bite . She is my fiancée—and soon, my partner."
Lucifer turned to him, voice firm but composed.
"And Viron—you're my assistant first. Never lose that clarity."
Viron bowed.
"I drifted. The title of vampire lord pulled me off focus. But it's past now. My dream is to solve solo cases… and earn your trust."
Lucifer nodded.
"Then come. We begin again. Not as lords… but as watchers in the dusk."
