The author still remembered when she was interviewing Michy some time ago. Back then, she couldn't even move her body freely as she felt that the young idol was watching her every movement.
But for the interview today, she couldn't even breathe properly. She felt the suffocating feelings in her chest when the pair of red eyes kept staring at her intently. She wasn't even sure whether she should use the word 'staring' or 'glaring' at this point.
"Can I go back to Hell now?"
A voice suddenly broke the silence in the room, and the author hastily waved her hands in front of her body. "N-no! We haven't even started the interview, so you can't go back to Hell!"
The author was worried that the king of Hell would bring her to Hell along with him. Even if Lucifer was kind of hot, she knew that the flame in Hell was hotter.
"Just start the interview now before I go back to Hell," Lucifer replied as he placed his elbow on the armrest and rested his head on his fist. His expression couldn't be described with any other word other than bored.
"Alright," the author forced a smile as she took out the cue card. "You've been acting mysteriously since the first chapter of the book, and I think the readers want to know more about your plan. Can you explain your plan to the readers?"
Lucifer, after hearing the question, raised one of his thick brows. "Are you sure that you want me to explain my plan to the readers? You want me to give some spoilers?" He asked back instead of answering.
The author was surprised by the questions, but she knew that the king had a point. "No. You can't give the readers any spoiler in this interview," she replied. "Then, can you tell the readers more about what you have done to Michy? Michy has many personalities, and the readers might feel confused because of it."
"You want me to explain what I've done to Michy? Is it because the readers couldn't understand my dialogues?" Lucifer asked again. "You mean, my acting was so bad that the readers couldn't understand what I've done to Michy?"
The king of Hell suddenly raised his tone, and the poor author knew that the king must have felt offended by her words. "That's not what I meant!" She tried to clarify. "I just think that you should explain more about how Michy ended up having many personalities. It's not related to your acting skill. Your acting is awesome!"
The author tried to bribe Lucifer with her compliments, but the king was still frowning at her. "It's you who have made Michy's character so complicated, but it's me who has to explain the situation to the readers?"
"..." The author dared not to make any sound after hearing the king's question.
In her heart, the author admitted that she sometimes felt confused about Michy's personality too. However, the author didn't want to take the blame, so she asked Lucifer to explain everything to the reader.
Blinking at the king innocently as if she was the cutest puppy in the world, Lucifer almost threw up at the sight.
"Actually, I only control one personality of Michy, and that's the one that was called as the 'evil Michy' by the author," in the end, the king of Hell was so lenient as he started explaining. "Before I punished Azren to go to the human world, I already planted the 'evil Michy' inside Michy's body and provoked him to sin using so many ways. But, God decided to interfere with my plan as he copied my way by planting the 'nice Michy' inside Michy's body. That's the backstory behind Michy's two personalities."
The author nodded her head several times upon hearing the king's explanation. "Then, what about the 'normal Michy'? It's not your doings?" She continued asking.
"Nope," the king answered. "The 'normal Michy' is the original character of Michy. Lately, I couldn't plant the 'evil Michy' inside Michy's body, and that's not because of God's intervention. Instead, it was because of the strong will of Michy to become himself."
Again, the author nodded her head in understanding before continuing with the next question, "Then, how about the fact that the 'normal Michy' couldn't remember some moments when he was in his evil and nice mode?"
This time, Lucifer didn't immediately answer as he used his hand to stroke his clean chin. "Actually, that's the effect of the split personality inside Michy's body. He has three personalities in total, and his brain couldn't record all things that he did when he was in his evil or nice mode. Some memories are missing, but he still remembers most of the memories. Readers don't have to worry about that."
The author nodded in understanding before putting the cue card back on the table. "Now is the time for the last question," she spoke again. "The readers may feel curious because both you and God are targetting Michy this whole time. Can you tell them the reason behind that?"
The king suddenly smirked as he looked interested in the question. "Are you sure you want me to reveal everything now, dear author? You still have around 60 chapters before the ending, right? Are you sure you want me to reveal everything today?"
Lucifer openly threatened the author with his words, and the author gasped before going on her knees. "Please don't tell anything to the readers, My Lord! Let me tease the readers for a bit, alright?"
Perhaps the author forgot that she was the creator of Lucifer, and the king wouldn't be able to kill her even if he wanted to. Or maybe the author didn't forget about that, but she was just too dumb to realize the situation.
But Lucifer seemed to enjoy torturing the poor author, and he indeed used the opportunity to do that, "Pay me with your soul, and I won't say anything to the readers."
