"Why do you need the Sun Sword?" Queen Jani asks.
My heart tightens. I grip my staff. Play your cards right Lucifer. Please don't make this forceful.
"My master is going to save us all from the impending doom of the Fallen Star." Lucifer says.
"What are you talking about?" Queen Jani asks.
She looks at me.
"Who is this cloaked man?" Queen Jani asks.
"What a ridiculous question." Lucifer says.
I turn to him. He bends his head down.
"Don't tell them anything about me, let's move this along." I whisper.
"Of course, my master." He stands up.
"What did he say?" Queen Jani asks.
"Just that we are in a bit of a time of crisis, so I would recommend you give us the Sun Sword." He says.
"What makes you think we have it?" Queen Jani says.
"Because your great grandmother stole it from me." He answers.
I look at him in surprise. There were a series of gasps.
"She destroyed it long ago." Queen Jani says.
Lucifer lets out a laugh.
"Don't play dumb. It cannot be destroyed by mortal's hands." He says.
I stand up. I look at him. I gesture my hand.
"Give us the sword." Lucifer says.
Aunt Amaya gestures.
"Why should we give it to you?" Grahm translates.
It was directed to me. I walk forward. I had hoped to avoid this but... I remove my hood.
"Because I'm asking." I say.
