Lust Knight

Chapter 409: One step at a time

The words of Daisy and her thoughtful expression make Lucien, his sisters, wives, and the Sins very curious.

She looks at them, especially Lucien, as she explains. "In the Red Moon, most vampires want the best for our race, so most of us generally want to do things to help our people get stronger."

Her eyes sparkle. "Since I was a child, I wanted to do something to help my people, and since my grandmother was an alchemist, I learned a lot from her."

"She was on the Bloody Rose research group previous to mine, and she had some very peculiar ideas... which didn't end very well."

Daisy sighs before speaking. "This is a secret of my race... We made a pact with the Storm God."

The Sins make a surprised and thoughtful expression, but Lucien doesn't understand what's going on, and Lust quickly explains. "The Storm God had a phoenix core."

"Yes..." Daisy nods. "My grandma's idea was to use the Bloody Rose on him because he was supposed to be immortal. If that worked, the Storm God would become the strongest God of all, and in return, he would help our people to understand more about the Bloody Rose, In addition to being a powerful ally."

Pride shakes her head in disapproval. "The Gods are definitely not good at keeping promises."

Daisy makes a sad expression. "Yes... but my grandmother was a very optimistic person. Anyway, the Storm God did not have time to betray us as he was very arrogant and used the entire Bloody Rose at once."

"He went crazy in the early days due to a lot of chaotic energy and took the phoenix core out of his body, committing suicide." She speaks, making Lucien and his sisters happy that Michael has given them small parts of Bloody Rose many times and not all at once.

She continues. "My grandmother knew about that possibility and quickly tried to save the phoenix core by using that on herself..."

Sloth makes a sorry expression. "I'm sorry."

Lucien and his sisters understand that something went wrong, yet Lust quickly explains. "The phoenixes can only give their cores to another creature once. If that creature tries to give the core to another, it explodes, causing both creatures to die."

"We lost some hosts like that. We tried to give them the cores of the Gods we killed, and it didn't work out." Sloth complements.

Daisy sighs. "My grandmother just wanted to help our people, and she got a horrible death... The vampire royal family was afraid that our people would suffer retaliation from the Gods, but I think the Storm God was not very loved by his people. They acted as if nothing had happened, and no one ever spoke about that again."

"Everyone thought that idea was bad, and my father even blamed my grandmother for ruining our family's reputation... But I always believed in her ideas. I think that it didn't work because the Storm God used the entire Bloody Rose at once, and didn't he had the mental strength to endure that much power."

She looks at Lucien and his sisters expectantly. "I kept part of my research in secret from others. I wanted to find a way to get another phoenix core and use it not on one person but instead try to combine Its energy with the Bloody Rose and then use that on multiple people."

"..." Lucien, his sisters, and the Sins look at each other while thinking the same thing.

"This..." Then he looks at Daisy with a sorry expression. "I'm not sure if that prince really fell in love with you anymore."

"What?" Daisy is confused about why he is talking about it.

He smiles. "You are an incredible and beautiful woman... However, all of that is connected. The fact that you are an alchemist, a vampire with a lot of knowledge about the Bloody Rose, and believe in the idea of using a phoenix core on multiple people..."

While Daisy blushes a little because Lucien is praising her, she also understands that the others things make sense as part of a bigger plan than them.

Lucien continues. "Someone... that mysterious woman probably, planned that my sisters and I would be these people, and the Nature Spirit came to tell us where to find the last phoenix."

While everyone agrees that it was all planned, Eve makes a thoughtful expression. "Alright, even if all of this is someone else's plan, it can still work, right? I mean, can this phoenix core really help us not to die because of the Bloody Rose's side effects?"

"I think so, but there is no way to be sure..." Daisy replies. "Well, you are peculiar individuals. If Lucien uses his powerful demonic energy to help the process and you made the pentagram pact... it will make you connected as a single unity, and I see no reason to the phoenix core refuse you."

Lust's eyes sparkle with expectation. "Hahaha... this was all well planned. The soul contract that Lucien has with Sophia and Amelia will make them even more united in body and soul. They planned several things to contain the side effects of Bloody Rose. This has to work."

While Amelia smiles, Eve and Donna make strange expressions. They have no intention of making a soul contract with Lucien as they fear that it will make them fall in love with him.

Pride looks Eve in the eye as she comments. "It makes sense... I thought that the pentagram pact alone would not be enough, but if that plan works... we will have the most powerful hosts of all time, and they will be immortal like us."

"Maybe we don't need to make a soul contract too..." Eve comments hesitantly, and everyone can understand her concerns.

Lucien puts his hand over Eve's in a loving way. "Maybe... I can try to give you a lot of demonic energy in less private ways."

Eve feels the pleasurable demonic energy coming from Lucien to her body. She quickly starts to feel more good and powerful. Even Pride feels good because of the connection with her.

"Again, are we going to do what other people have planned for us?" Envy asks, clearly disapproving that.

"That doesn't make this plan any bad." Lust responds. "On the contrary, if this is the plan of that mysterious woman and she is Lucien's mother as well as a demon, she must want the good of him and our race."

Wrath nods. "Even I could see that the Nature Spirit seems to like Lucien a lot... maybe the mysterious woman is a Primordial, and the other Primordials are helping her."

"Hmmm..." Lust thinks about something and then smiles. "Sister!! The Nature Spirit said that her sister told her about Lucien. That woman who appeared in his dream... maybe they are both sisters of Lucien's mother."

"My Aunt?" He makes a confused expression. "But she kisses me on the li..."

Pride shakes her head. "You just had a wedding ceremony with two of your sisters. So how can that be weird?"

Lucien does an upset expression. "Okay, I can't say anything about that. But why don't they tell us anything? If they are my family, they shouldn't just manipulate the people I love and me."

"There is no way we can understand it now. We also can't do anything about it either. However, no matter who this plan belongs to, the first to benefit will be us." Lust comments.

Then she looks him in the eye. "If that works, which is very likely, you and your sisters will be immortals. Let alone all the potential you can give your wives for them to live long enough for immortality to mean nothing."

"What I mean is that mysterious woman being your mother or not just like anyone else who is manipulating us will not be stronger than our family forever. So when you are the most powerful person in the universe, you can punish them as you want."

"I bet it will be something like a long ass-slapping session..." Envy laughs.

Lucien tries not to imagine that scene while sighing. "I don't like it, but if that's the best plan now, let's do it."

Eve nods. "Yes, we must do the best for our family, even if that is also what other people want."

"What about Naomi and Claire?" Donna asks.

"We have to be all together to make the pentagram pact." Pride comments.

Lucien looks at the two moons in the sky. "Will they be coming here soon?"

Wrath makes a thoughtful expression. "We came here because there was no way to generate much more demonic energy on that little moon."

"And because Sophia couldn't stay away from Luci anymore." Donna laugh.

"Anyway, there's no way that moon will be enough for Gluttony and Greed together." Lust comments.

"Can we make a portal to that moon if they take too long to come here?" Lucien asks.

Lust nods. "With Daisy's help, we can use life crystals from the mine to create a portal. If it's just for one person, it won't spend a lot of resources, and you can take your wives in the purple world."

He looks at Daisy. "And while I go there to get Naomi and Claire, you keep taking the crystals out of the mine to find Adeline's portal."

"Sophia and Ghilanna are better off staying to absorb the excess life energies from the mine. It will make her even stronger and help us find the portal to the Blue Star faster." Lust explains.

"So we make the pentagram pact and go to the Blue Star to get the phoenix core." Lucien completes.

Lust nods and kisses Lucien, both agreeing with the plan, but his sister and the Sins make thoughtful expressions.

"It can't be that simple, right?" Envy comments.

"There is an army of angels coming here. That angel... Alexa? She seems to be someone very powerful. What if she comes too?" Wrath asks.

Lucien quickly responds. "Maybe we can make a deal with her using her assistant. We can use the Ghost Lady to lure Alexa here and kill her if she doesn't want to cooperate."

"You won't be able to lure Alexa so easily." Helena comments. She was beside Donna in silence the whole time while finding those theories very crazy, but now she understands about this matter and warns them because if Lucien dies, the mysterious woman will blame her.

"Oh, do you know her?" He asks.

Helena looks at him with a neutral expression. "I was not always a fallen angel... I already talked to her. She is a very powerful and intelligent woman. Also, she has many powerful allies."

"Humph." Pride makes a mocking sound. "Angels are dumb creatures, or they wouldn't be servants of the Gods. No matter what you think of this woman, we can handle her."

"I approve of any plan that is about massacring our enemies." Wrath quickly shows her support for Pride.

Lucien looks at Helena with a thoughtful expression. "Anyway... we'll find a way, but now..."

Then he looks at Daisy. "You are the key to most of our plans, so I cannot let you continue in this state."

Rose makes a worried expression when she hears those words. Her mother always said that her situation was stable, but now things don't seem positive.

Daisy looks at Rose with a sorry expression before nods to Lucien. "I understand, and I am willing to do what you say."

"Good, good..." He comments as he drinks a glass of wine and takes another piece of meat from Eve's plate.

Then he gets up from his chair and looks at Sophia, talking to his wives. He wishes we could o give them time to just relax, but there are a lot of problems for them to solve before they can really rest.

"Let's do it." He smiles amiably at Daisy and Helena.

While Lust, Pride, Envy, and Wrath agree to the plans, Sloth is strangely silent while not really agreeing with some things.

And Lucien feels that because of their connection. He just doesn't have time to talk to her alone now due to Daisy and Helena's unstable situation.
