Lust Knight

Chapter 330 - Connected

A/N: Hi, dear readers. What about a deal to you get more LK chapters and see Sophia finally reunite with Lucien sooner? You just have to stop voting with your power stones for this novel and vote for my other novel (King of Mean). You can find that novel in my profile or just by searching, and it can receive power stones already. I won't drop L.u.s.t Kinigh, but I wanna grow my new novel a little bit too. Thank you for any support.

Elsie giggles. "The stinking dog is also done."

"Niklaus?" Ghalenna asks and sighs after Elsie nods.

"That's better." Elsie starts to explain. "It was good that they suffered for a while, but they should be dead. Otherwise, there is always a chance of they escape..."

"..." Ghalenna cannot deny Elsie's words, especially after she let them get away so easily.

Lucien smiles at Elsie and makes a thumbs up, praising her smart mind and sharp tongue.

Elsie smiles back at him, trying to maintain a proud posture, but after three seconds, she starts to blush as her feminine instincts scream inside her.

"So, you are goi..." Ghalenna composes herself and looks at Lucien with an inquisitive expression.

Lucien looks at Rein's body in the river, already dead. "Eve and I have urgent matters to resolve on the eastern continent, so you will have to take care of the Alliance indefinitely."

"I will do this because my Queen ordered me, not you," Ghalenna speaks in an arrogant tone.

Lucien is upset by Ghalenna's posture. He's been trying to be nice to her, but now he really wants to "tame" the wild m.a.t.u.r.e elf.

But of course, he won't make any moves on her while it can ruin his perfect relationship with Ghilanna.

"Do as you like," Lucien speaks in a neutral tone. "But I'm still not coming back right now because I need to find Scarlett's brother, and I want to go to the fox-clan to meet Anne's parents."

Anne smiles as Elsie makes a thoughtful expression.

Then Lucien smiles at his girls, mainly the demi-human ones. "Also, I want to have a wedding ceremony in the cultural standards of my wives."

"Nice husband you have..." Ghalenna speaks to Ghilanna in a sarcastic tone.

Ghilanna is furious and sends a mental message to Lucien. 'Please, hubby, make her don't look down at us.'

'Are you sure about that?' Lucien asks.

'Yes... she was always authoritarian and manipulative. I don't wish her bad, but I don't mind if you teach her a lesson.' Ghilanna responds with a smile on her face.

Lucien can't help but be a little sad because of the relationship between Ghilanna and her mother. He understands that Ghalenna is a very arrogant person, but so is he.

He loves his mother very much, and the relationship of his wives, who are mothers with their daughters, is very pleasing to him. So, all he can do without forcing Ghilanna is to try to subtly help their relationship while they are in the Alliance so that they can, at last, say goodbye without holding a grudge against each other.

"Why don't you come with us to the fox-clan?" Lucien asks Ghalenna.

"..." Ghalenna is confused as she tries to understand Lucien's intention.

Lucien quickly explains. "We would like to have your blessing at my wedding ceremony with Ghilanna."

"We?" Ghalenna asks sarcastically and quickly continues. "I don't know what you are planning, boy, but there is nothing you can do to fix this."

Before Lucien can say anything, Ghalenna looks at her daughter with a sorry expression. "At that time, I was weak and stupid... that's why I lost my daughter. Now there's nothing I can do but apologize. The better for us is to keep our lives without looking back."

Ghilanna sighs, not understanding why her mother is so stubborn as Lucien thinks about his next steps. He has a lot to worry about, but he doesn't want to let Ghalenna and Ghilanna's relationship end that way.

He makes a carefree expression. "Okay... if you don't mind me walking around and making minor changes in the Alliance while Eve is out..."

"Wait!" Ghalenna is now quite certain that Lucien intends something. But as long as she doesn't give him the opportunity to do anything wrong, everything will be fine, right?

"Oh?" Lucien makes a false surprised expression while hugging Ghilanna's waist.

Ghalenna sighs again. "Alright, I will supervise you while you are in the Alliance."

"What about the blessing?" Lucien smiles.

Ghalenna frowns. "I would never let my daughter marry someone like you. But as she and I agreed that we would live separate and have nothing to do with each other again, I cannot say anything about it, let alone give my blessing."

"Fine..." Lucien stops insisting now, but he certainly hasn't given up.

"Let's go then?" L.u.s.t asks to break the strange mood between Lucien and Ghalenna.

"I need to pass in Viset to report everything to my subordinates," Ghalenna explains.

Elsie quickly speaks to Lucien. "The fox-clan is in the western part of the Alliance, so we will have to go towards Viset anyway."

Lucien nods. "Actually, we need to go there to find Scarlett's brother."

"Is he a werewolf hybrid too?" Ghalenna asks.

"Yes, his name is Willard, and he looks a lot like me, and... He was a slave in Rein's house." Scarlett explains.

Ghalenna makes an indifferent expression. "All werewolves and hybrids who committed crimes against innocent women have been sentenced to slavery or worse by Queen Eve."

While Scarlett is concerned, Lucien makes a serious expression. Depending on Ghalenna's next response, they could become enemies.

"I'm sure my big sis doesn't want her sister-in-law's brother being a slave, especially when they were both victims of Rein," Lucien speaks.

Ghalenna doesn't really know what to think of Lucien. She respects Eve a lot and shares her hate for men, all of them. But Eve does not see Lucien as a "man," and that is not something that Ghalenna can understand.

Despite being very confused, Ghalenna does not want to be Lucien's enemy, so she speaks in a respectful tone. "It will be an exception... but there is no good place for men in the Alliance anyway."

Lucien nods. "I understand. In fact, I sympathize much more with women. However, Portgreen will always welcome good men, especially those who have no space in the Alliance."

"Also, those who haven't committed crimes can also start a new life in the area that Eve is cleaning up right now," Lucien concludes.

Ghalenna likes the way Lucien thinks. "Although not all men are bad, none of them are good either. However, we need them to generate new children, so don't try to take those who are still free away, please."

Lucien makes a thoughtful expression. "I don't want to interfere with the Alliance, but I'm sure your people can cooperate with Portgreen; after all, this whole continent is now ruled by Eve and me."

Ghalenna understands Lucien's idea. If the Alliance's women can use men just to get pregnant, and then they live in Portgreen, that would be a good way for the Alliance to continue to grow strong as a nation for women only.

But of course, she cannot decide these things on her own. "I believe that we can really cooperate, but everything must be decided by Queen Eve."

Lucien nods. "Yes, of course. I didn't have time to work out the details with big sis because we have other things to care about right now, but everything will be arranged later."

"I understand. We should get to Viset now." Ghalenna speaks.

Angela begins to create a floating platform in front of Lucien's group, and he points to it while talking to Ghalenna. "Let's go on my wives' sh.i.p.s; it will be faster this way."

Ghalenna is used to flying on floating platforms with Eve's main mages, but the ice sh.i.p.s will be a new experience. She looks at her troops, who are no more than thirty elven warriors and some fox-girl scouts, and everyone looks excited to fly.

"Okay," Ghalenna responds as she climbs onto the floating platform along with Lucien's wives, Elsie, and her troops.

As Angela leads everyone towards Lucien's main ice ship, he introduces Amelia to Ghalenna. "This is Amelia, my sister."

Ghalenna friendly smiles at Amelia, showing that her relationship with Lucien would be excellent from the beginning if he were a woman.

"You are very similar to Queen Eve despite the difference in hair color," Ghalenna speaks as she extends her hand to Amelia.

Amelia looks at Ghalenna with a hostile expression. She did not like how the m.a.t.u.r.e elf treated Lucien and especially the fact that she is the mother of one of his wives, being the type of woman who most pleases his personal taste.

She ignores Ghalenna's hand and speaks arrogantly. "My brother also looks a lot like our big sis. Also, she has a special affection for him as her youngest sibling, and if she finds out you were rude to her little brother... well, you definitely don't want that."

"Ahem..." Ghalenna makes a noise with her throat as she is embarrassed by the strange situation. Then she quickly makes a sorry expression. "I'm sorry, my lady."

"Don't flatter me," Amelia speaks as she hugs Lucien's waist.

Lucien just laughs at how cute Amelia looks even when she is angry, while Ghalenna finds the interaction between the siblings very 'affectionate.' She can't help but wonder what his relationship with Eve is like.

------------------------------------

Simultaneously, on the south beaches of Portgreen, Eve's troops head towards the Light Empire on their fast unicorns.

A rope is tied to Eve's belt, holding the angel June by the leg as she is dragged through the ground.

While June m.o.a.ns in pain, especially because of the wounds in her wings, Eve keeps the same neutral expression for days.

On the right side of Eve, Luise rides her also amazing unicorn, while on the other side, there is Sabrina, the bear girl of Lucien's troops.

Luise and Sabrina are curious because Eve always seems to be annoyed, but they would not question the great Queen. A concern that Pride does not have.

'Are you missing him?' Pride asks in Eve's mind.

'Don't you?' Eve replies with another question.

Pride is silent for a few seconds before answering. 'Actually, yes... He's fascinating.'

'He is not a secret for you to study, but my brother. I will not rest until all my siblings are safe on my side.' Eve speaks in a resolute tone.

'But while he has a good time with L.u.s.t, not all your siblings are fine...' Pride comments.

Eve's expression change to anger and concerned. 'I'm doing my best and obeying you! If something happens to them... I will not forgive you.'

Pride continues to use the same calm and provocative tone. 'Your best may not be enough. You are the host of Pride. We have to be the best of the bests.'

Eve is silent for a few seconds and then shakes her head. 'You talk a lot... Lucien and L.u.s.t are really powerful, even though he was in the Zero Realm a short time ago. Perhaps...'

'You can't be thinking of doing things his way.' Pride quickly responds.

'I will do anything to protect my siblings. As long as it doesn't hurt them, everything is acceptable.' Eve answers honestly.

Pride just shakes her head while materializing her body flying next to June. "Little angel, are you ready to cooperate with us yet?"

"M-M-MM!! MMM!!!" June tries to make noises of agreement because her mouth is sealed by a rope. She knows that if she continues to be dragged in that injured state, her wings will be completely ruined.

Pride notices June's acceptance but ignores it while flying to the sky. "We'll talk more later."

She flies in front of Eve's group and sees a large statue of demi-human girls at the spot where Lucien's battle against the Light Empire army took place.

At the base of the statue is an inscription board saying: In honor of all innocent demi-humans hurt by shitty racists.

But there is something more, some words carved with stone in very imm.a.t.u.r.e handwriting: Death to all the enemies of the Handsome Devil.

Pride is impressed to see an aura around the statue. Only she can see that aura made only of pride and respect that so many people have, not for the statue but for the feat that happened there, or rather the person who did that.

She starts to smile while thinking about Lucien. "You are really something..."

"What?!?!" But then something shocks Pride. She notices that aura of pride and respect in the statue beginning to flow towards Eve, giving her a lot of demonic energy.

Inside Eve's body, the little bit of Lucien's demonic energy that still remains, generated there when she and Lucien hugged each other on the top of the mountain, get aroused while receiving the demonic energy from the respect that people feel for Lucien.
