Chapter 87 - The Difference Between a Hero And a Diety

After the visit, Licht left a bouquet beside Iris on her bedside table. Licht said, "Get well soon," and everyone just stayed silent for a while.

Meanwhile, after Lucifer and Alysa left for CKH, they encountered Mrs. Louis on the way. Lucifer gave a salute and said, "Hello, ma'am. How are you?"

Louis replied, "Lucifer, you don't have to salute me anymore. I might have been your teacher, but I'm retired now, so there's no need."

Lucifer responded, "Sorry, ma'am—old habits die hard. Also, I heard about some disputes around the border between my territory and that of Arcluatine. I'd highly appreciate it if I could ask a few questions regarding the matter."

Louis said, "Sorry, but I'm no longer their captain, so I might not be up to date on current affairs."

Lucifer said, "Don't worry. It's more about the Solace family than it is about Arcluatine. I think you'll understand the rest from this quote: 'He who takes many lives in war is called a hero, but he who saves even one life is revered as a diety.'"

Louis replied, "Okay, I'm listening."

Lucifer said, "Let's continue this conversation elsewhere."

Louis agreed, "Sure."

Then, at a coffee shop, Lucifer said, "As a history enthusiast, I've studied quite extensively, yet one piece of Solace family history fascinates me in particular."

Louis asked, "And what exactly is that?"

Lucifer replied, "The incident involving the God of Hatred, Drake. It took place about 75 years ago, and it's quite a fascinating chapter."
