Not that something of that mattered, but I would like to extract his memory and see his secrets.
The fact he gave me the Book of Lucifer means he himself isn't completely aware of its value or playing some dangerous game with me as a pawn. Whenever the truth is, one is certain, and that is, Lucifer must die.
Now I was curious to explore more of the Book of Lucifer, but alas, I didn't dare to do it while he was alive. If it was a trap, then maybe he gave me the book in hopes I would be able to unlock its secrets, and when I am no longer useful, he could kill me or whatever... but it won't end well for me.
"Zeo? Helloooo..."
I heard before waking from my thinking trance-like state.
"Oh, sorry. I was a bit caught in my thoughts."
I said as Venelana pouted a little.
"About what exactly?"
Asked she.
"About that, how beautiful are you today."
I said with a smile.
I didn't want to talk about certain things as it was not appropriate for now.
After we had finished eating, we went for a walk around Agreas City. As the city was accessible to members of the nobility, it was empty, despite its size and beautiful environment.

Several days earlier, Bael Castle.
Venelana was walking through the halls of the Bael Castle while searching for her mother to have a talk with her.
As usual, she found her at the gardens, relaxing in there... something done by most noble ladies of almost none of them wished to do something.
"Hello, mother."
Greeted her Venelana. Her mother looked like her older version, with a bigger chest and longer hair.
"What is bringing you here, my darling daughter?"
Asked Lady Bael with a gentle smile.
"I just want to talk about something with you."
Said Venelana rather nervously.
"Then come and sit here..."
As Venelana sat down, a servant came and served her tea.
"So, what is bothering you?"
Asked Lady Bael with a kind smile.
Afterward, Venelana started narrating her own problems as her mother attentively listened to her daughter's troubles.
"So the young Lucifuge is your competitor?"
Asked Lady Bael curiously.
"Yes, that ice witch."
Said Venelana with anger, as she met with Grayfia after her engagement to her own fianceé was announced by Lucifer, and they didn't start with a good impression.
"Hmm... I think I know what you need to do... from what you have told me, you need to take the initiative as your fianceé is probably dense as brick or too focused on his own things to notice your female signals, or maybe both of them. Right now, you may have an advantage, but that can change as Grayfia is Lucifuge, and she is way closer to Lucifer than Bael can be... so you need to do this..."
Said Lady Bael as she whispered the last parts of the sentence to her daughter; Venelana turned bright red in a matter of seconds.
"Are you sure it will work?"
Asked Venelana nervously.
"Do you want Grayfia to win? She will make a move when she realizes that Zeoticus is too engrossed in his research and development of his territory, and you will lose your dominant position. Even now, you are at a disadvantage as she has a special bond with him as Lucifer and Lucifuge; if you are slow, then the gap will only widen."
Said Lady Bael seriously as she saw the fire ignite in Venelana's eyes.
It was just another game for power or a race for power. When they get married, it will be decided who will be the main wife or who will have the most authority after the Lord of the House. And Venelana didn't want to fall behind her rival Grayfia.
After some time of thinking about it, she nodded her head in agreement.

Back to present
I was rather enjoying this date a the Agreas. Venelana was pressing her chest on my right hand, which was a very nice feeling, but at the same time, as I was enjoying this, I was also thinking about how to get my hands on some crystals of Agreas.
If I ask Lucifer, I doubt he will give me some of them, so I chose to steal them. At the end of the Great War, everything will belong to me, so I am just taking something that is mine in advance.
As I was thinking about how to steal the crystals of Agreas, I noticed that Venelana stood in front of me, and suddenly she kissed me.
At first, I was in a state of deep shock about what was happening, but soon I returned her kiss with an even bigger passion.
After we had separated, I only heard a weak whisper from her as she took my hand and led me to the nearest hotel.
Not that something of that mattered, but I would like to extract his memory and see his secrets.
