When the people who should leave had all left, only the two of us remained in the grand hall. Looking at me on the royal throne, Lucifer nodded in praise and said, "Not bad at all! Over these years, you've really started to carry yourself like a king!"
Though it was meant as a compliment, somehow it sounded completely awkward to my ears! "I still feel like I'm not cut out for this; I just wasn't made to be a king. An ordinary human being ruling for over a hundred years would probably do a better job than me. Most people only follow my orders because they give you face. I'm completely unqualified!"
Lucifer didn't mind at all. "No one is born knowing how to do everything. This place isn't like an ordinary human dynasty. When your strength is enough to suppress them, that's when you truly display your majesty. Right now? Not a single one of those old Ultimates takes you seriously, and that's completely normal. Here, strength is what gives you a voice."
