Lust Knight

Chapter 438: I like her

After listening to Helena's entire story, Lucien didn't stop thinking about that. He does not want to judge all the Gods without knowing them, but it is evident that many of them deserve to die, or worse.

He cannot change the fact that he is half-demon and half-dragon, as well as the fact that the Gods hate his people. However, angels are not really his enemies.

In addition to an instinctive desire to take care of Helena, Lucien also has thoughts about the big picture. Killing angels would be a smart move as it would take the main servants of the Gods. But helping them to rebel would be a brilliant move and much more effective.

However, making an alliance between demons and angels cannot be so that easy. The fact that Alexa is Helena's granddaughter is a trump, but that doesn't solve all the problems.

And thinking about how to proceed was how Lucien, his sisters, and Sins spent three days. Well, all the time he spent wondering about that, he also spent strengthening his wives and himself, of course.

Just as he spent time alone with Oya and Ko, Lucien paid special attention to all his wives in the purple world. He also trained his skills, mainly how to use his wives' mana, such as Rose's earth mana, Maggie's fire mana, and Amelia's spatial mana.

Those three days were longer than a week due to the purple world, but it passed too quickly for Lucien. He and the others were concerned that Eve didn't get back as fast as they expected.

On the afternoon of the third day, Lucien started thinking about going to the moon, look for Eve and their sisters, but then Lust warned him about people approaching.

'The angels?' He asks her.

'Luise and Sabrina.' Lust quickly explains.

Lucien smiles and warns the others. They wait for the girls, and after a few minutes, they arrive at their camp.

"Mom!!" Elsie runs to hug Luise while Sabrina also feels like running and hugging Lucien, but she doesn't do that because she is just one of his troops.

While mother and daughter hug, Lucien approaches Sabrina and also embraces her, making the heart of the cute bear-girl beat as fast as that of an excited rabbit.

"Master..." She speaks in a loving tone while hugging him tightly.

"You did a great job, Sabrina..." Lucien knows that it is almost cruel to send his troops on a mission where they stay away from him for a long time, but that was necessary.

"..." Sabrina doesn't speak anything and just enjoys Lucien's embrace. Praises are good, especially coming from her beloved Master, but his touch is worth a thousand words.

He strokes her back and kisses her fluffy round ears. "I will reward you and also make up for each training session that you missed."

"Master is the best!!" Sabrina can't stop smiling while she is very eager for the rewards that only Lucien can give her.

"Hahaha..." He laughs when he sees her ears trembling with excitement. "You're so cute."

While hugging Sabrina, Lucien notices Luise looking at him with a thoughtful expression. "Eve told me about and my daughter... now we are one big family."

He nods. "Yes, my mother-in-law."

Luise doesn't know what to think when she hears Lucien call her his mother-in-law. She is very loyal to Eve, and being part of her family seems incredible. But that also complicates some things.

She looks into his eyes and speaks in a respectful but firm tone. "I'm, and I will always be loyal to Queen Eve, but I will not forgive you if you hurt my daughter."

"Mom..." Elsie puts. "I wouldn't have married Lucien if he isn't so nice to me."

Lucien nods at Luise. "You are right to want the best for your daughter, and I will always try the best for her, as well as for all the people I love."

"I hope so..." Luise really has a good opinion about Lucien, especially after everything she found out about him in Portgreen. Yet, she can't help but be concerned about her daughter's future.

He smiles at her while thinks of asking about Portgreen's people, but then he feels Lust and the other girls get agitated.

"Did they arrived?" He asks Lust out loud.

She materializes her body beside him and looks at the sky simultaneously as the other Sins. "Yes, they are here."

Helena flies to Lucien's side as he tells Neola, Kylee, Lorelai, and Maggie to prepare the troops. Genevieve is leading the angels while his other wives are also preparing for a possible conflict.

"What is happening?" Luise asks Elsie.

At that moment, a bright light appears in the sky. That light quickly reaches the ground, creating symbols just like the portal used by Agapius.

But unlike the first army of angels, now only one angel comes out of that light. It's a beautiful woman with white hair and silver armor, which is much simpler than Agapius's shiny and luxurious armor.

In addition to that woman's incredible beauty, Lucien also realizes that some of her facial features are similar to Helena's. He looks at her and realizes that her eyes are shining as she smiles, so he understands that angel is Alexa.

"Immortal Realm fifth layer..." Lust comments while making a concerned expression. Not only is Alexa stronger than she expected, but she also doesn't seem like a usual angel.

As soon as Alexa notices the angels of Corvus House and Lucien's group, she does make an upset expression. Then from behind her, many winged angels start to emerge, all above the Earth Realm, of course.

Similar to the other angels, those angels also begin to make the barrier around the portal. That is a usual method when arriving in a new world.

No one wants to be attacked while leaving the portal. The only difference from most other leaders is that Alexa always leaves the portal first to check the area and protect her troops from anything.

Alexa's troops continue to leave the portal, totaling two thousand soldiers. Despite the number considerably inferior to that of Agapius, that group is much superior to the expected.

All angels alongside Alexa are winge-angels, meaning that not just are they all above the Earth Realm, but in fact, most of them are in the Sky Realm or almost there.

"We can't win against them..." Envy thinks out loud.

Sloth nods. "We couldn't even if Pride was here."

"..." Wrath grits her teeth while feeling so weak. Although that situation is totally unfair and unexpected, she feels that she should be much stronger, or at least enough for them to have a chance.

Lust quickly speaks in Lucien's mind. 'We cannot fight an army so strong yet... You have to make the Alliance or at least not let a direct conflict happen.'

At that moment, while both groups look at each other, Alexa's stern look meets Lucien's confident eyes. She quickly notices the huge difference between their power levels, but somehow, she feels that he is dangerous.

'I'll make it works.' He responds to Lust.

[Interesting...] Alexa also notices the cursed sword in Lucien's scabbard.

Without Lucien needing to say anything, Angela quickly creates a floating platform below their feet while his wives stand beside him, except for a few remaining with the troops to lead them if a battle happens.

Angela slowly moves the floating platform into the sky, towards the barrier, while Helena stays behind Lucien. For some reason, she is ashamed and embarrassed to meet her granddaughter.

Behind the barrier, two female angels approach Alexa while the others get in formation behind her. One of them starts reporting. "General Corvus's army appears to have surrendered. Their numbers are slightly smaller, possible casualties from a battle."

The other angel continues. "Genevieve is with the surviving angels, but there is no sign of the other three captains of our House. We must assume that they were killed or ran away."

"There is also no sign of General Corvus." The first angel continues. "This strange mixed-people is with demons. The strongest of them are almost in the middle Earth Realm, while the majority are in the Mortal Realm... They pose no threat to us."

Those two women are Alexa's main advisers after Ligea, but for the first time, she doesn't agree with their report at all.

She gazes at Lucien and his girls while thinking aloud. "These demons... They are not as simple as they appear. Or how could they make the Corvus House army surrender?"

Those two angels make thoughtful expressions. "It makes sense, my lady. But even if I continue to analyze them, I don't find anything exceptional. Maybe they had help?"

Alexa shakes her head. "They were waiting for us. And they don't look like people who need help. In fact, that guy looks very confident..."

"Foolish arrogance..." The second angel comments, but then she looks at Lucien and realizes that she has never seen a more handsome man before. In fact, all eyes go to him as soon as they notice him.

On the ground, Genevieve is very scared and ashamed as she sees Alexa. She doesn't regret surrendering to save her life, but she knows that her family is too proud, and they will probably never accept her again.

She also doesn't know what to expect from Lucien, but standing still seems even worse. So, she flies towards them to explain the situation to Alexa and try to help them make an alliance.

Angela stops the floating platform about fifty meters from the barrier. Then, surprising Lucien, Alexa flies out of the barrier alone.

"She is fearless." He comments while smiling.

"Her great-grandfather was like that, too... until he saw the ones he loved suffering," Helena comments in a sad tone as she plays with the back of Lucien's shirt. That is becoming her favorite practice to relax.

Alexa slowly flies towards Lucien's group and stops about ten meters from them. Although unlikely, she feels that he is the leader of their group, mainly because of the way those women stand around him.

"Alexa..." He speaks in an excited tone.

She makes a severe expression. "Do you know who I am, demon? Who told you about me? Was it that useless worm? Or the traitors of my House?"

Lucien makes a fake thoughtful expression. "Do you mean Agapius? He really did look like a shiny worm in that pompous armor... Well, I killed him."

"But your people didn't betray you. My sisters and I killed three of them and..." He looks at Genevieve quickly before looking at Alexa again. "I showed the others that we didn't need to be enemies and that there was no point in killing each other."

Alexa sighs as she strokes the handle of her sword. "I wish there was another way, but... You are demons, and if Gods find out that I have spared demons, they will destroy my house and kill my people."

She makes a determined expression. "When I compare the lives of strangers to those I must protect, I don't think twice about killing... As long as my hands are covered in blood, my family will be safe."

Lucien's eyes shine as he fully agrees with Alexa's words. Then he thinks out loud. "Damn!! I already like her a lot..."

"Of course you do..." Helena whispers behind him.

Alexa makes a confused expression. "Are you trying to play with my mind, demon?? You shouldn't have gotten in my way."

He shakes his head while making a sorry expression. "You seem so stern, Alexa... Well, I understand that you're upset after everything the Gods did to your family, but..."

"SHUT UP!!" She shouts, and a powerful aura comes out of her body.

Lucien quickly uses his demonic energy to create a barrier that blocks that aura, protecting his girls.

Alexa looks at him with a furious expression. "You don't know anything about what my family went through!!"

She prepares to attack Lucien, but at that moment, her heart seems to stop for less than a second when she sees a small figure emerging from behind him. Her mind doesn't believe what her eyes are seeing.

"Actually, he knows..." Helena looks at Alexa as she continues holding to Lucien's shirt. "I told him all the bad things they did to us... little Alexa."
