Lucifer Reborn 3
Page 31
“I have good news and bad news,” Lucifer said, a faint trace of his wry humor cutting through his weariness. “Which would you like to hear first, Luke?”
Somehow, I managed to rise to my feet. “Better take the good first,” I said.
Lucifer snickered at that. “The good news is that after seeing your performance in the Fae Realm, I’ve decided you’re more than ready for that promotion. I’m going to skip right over making you an Archlord, young man—as of right now, you are a Lord of Hell. A step below the Prince of Darkness himself. In addition, I officially name you my Heir Apparent. Once I retire, or am removed from my position by any means, you will take my place.”
I heard Christina cry out in recognition, dropping to her knees. Next to her, the rest of my harem soon did the same.
“I’m honored,” I said, though I didn’t truly feel it. Later I would, but right now, the bone-deep weariness combined with my worries about Maddie stole away my thoughts. “Thank you, Lucifer.”
“No need to thank me,” the Prince of Darkness said, holding up his hands. “I haven’t told you the bad news yet, young man.”
I looked out toward the horizon, where I’d watched that massive serpent disappear into the sky. “It’s about that monster, isn’t it?”
Lucifer nodded gravely. “Very astute. Only it’s no ordinary monster, Luke—it is the Beast. The Beast of Revelation.”
The Prince of Darkness clapped me on my shoulder. That winning, panty-dropping smile never left his fact, but for a fraction of a moment, I saw something no mortal in human history had ever borne witness to. An impossible look filled Lucifer’s gaze, banished as quickly as it had come.
Lucifer was scared.
“And now that it’s free, it’s going to consume the entire universe unless you stop it. Starting with Hell itself.”
