"You are back."
As the door of the bedroom opened, the Empress of the Star Alliance opened her eyes, glancing at Lucifer in the distance.
Lucifer didn't say anything. He simply walked to the nearby couch and laid down. Resting one leg over the other, he closed his eyes and didn't speak anything else.
Even though they were only married in name, they still couldn't sleep in separate rooms. For the Palace, they at least had to show that they were actually married.
Moreover, the Empress already knew that many people called Lucifer a Puppet husband. She didn't want to give any validity to those rumors, which was why she had told him to sleep in her room.
"You look like you're in a bad mood." The woman waved her hand, locking the door.
The only reason she left it open until now was because she didn't want Lucifer to be locked outside. However, she really expected him to not return tonight, at least not this soon.
