Lust Knight

Chapter 452: The return of the King

While Lucien talked to Luise about different things, including how things are going in Portgreen, Alexa and Helena enjoyed each other.

Then the angels of the Crassus House finished reenergizing the portal so they can return to Qia.

Alexa wanted to give Lucien a large number of magic crystals, but in addition to them not being as efficient as his methods, he does not want to weaken her group, especially when she is bringing the angels of the Corvus House in her group.

After everything was said and agreed, there was only a farewell between those angels returning to their world. Alexa doesn't really want to part with Helena, but the fact that she is not alone but being cared for by Lucien makes her much less worried.

"Take care of her, please," Alexa asks Lucien while not showing any arrogance.

He can understand how Alexa feels now. She is still that incredibly strong and arrogant woman, but when it comes to the people they love the most, they get soft, or even more brutal, depending on the situation.

"I will do my best." Lucien smiles at grandmother and granddaughter.

While Helena makes a shy expression, Alexa smiles back at him. "I really wish I could help you more now..."

He quickly shakes his head. "You have already helped me a lot. I mean, the magical resources we get from Agapius, and those other Sky Realm angels will be enough for me to make a portal for my troops."

As soon as he talks about that battle, the angels of the Corvus house get ashamed to follow Agapius' orders. Alexa is also ashamed that the three Sky Realm angels from her House attack people just because they are not demons, and Lucien's group did not attack them in any way.

She looks him in the eye with a determined expression. "I'll fix it; I was too focused on other things and forgot to teach my people about honor. But don't worry, even if the emperor is watching over me, I won't let my people continue to have this shitty racist mentality."

"But don't take risks yet. I will let you know as soon as I am ready to start strengthening your people." He speaks in a concerned tone, which makes Helena smile and Alexa blush. She never had an ally other than Atticus, whom she considered family and now does not know how to act toward Lucien.

She nods. "You can also ask me for help whenever you need it, and I will find a way to do something for you."

While he nods, Alexa looks at Genevieve. "You must obey all orders from Lucien and report to me when he commands. He is also your Master now."

"Yes, my lady." Genevieve bows respectfully. She can't believe that after surrendering to Lucien during the battle, she ended up being ordered to serve him by Alexa. Yet, she has a feeling that staying with him will be an exciting adventure.

Lucien smiles teasingly at Genevieve, making her blush. Although she is a mature woman over a thousand years old, she cannot help feeling like an excited young girl near him.

Alexa notices Genevieve's amusing expression when she looks at Lucien and can also see Helena's embarrassed look, making her envy them.

Part of her wants to be able to follow them on an adventure away from Gods and Qia. But she knows that she has a duty to protect her people, so she pushes her personal desires to the bottom of her heart.

After ordering the angels of both the Houses Crassus and Corvus, to enter the portal, Alexa hugs Helena tightly once again.

"I can't lose you, grandma..." She whispers in Helena's ear.

Helena quickly responds. "I will still live for a long time, my dear. Even if I have to do these things with him..."

Alexa blushes when she imagines what things her grandmother is talking about, but her lips curve a smile. "Doing these things with him can't be bad, right? Yourself said how good he is at..."

"Naughty girl..." Helena giggles. "Are you already being influenced by him?"

"..." Alexa doesn't know what to say. She stops hugging Helena and starts flying back towards the portal.

"I look forward to our next meeting." She comments while looking at Helena and Lucien.

"Heh..." Lucien smiles while Helena looks both thrilled and sad at the same time.

Alexa's main assistants and June enter the portal, followed by her. Then in a flash of bright light, they disappear into the sky.

As Lucien's group prepares to travel, Helena keeps looking at the sky with a thoughtful expression while she already misses her granddaughter.

"She is a good woman." He comments as he stands beside her.

"No..." Helena comments as her eyes sparkle with pride. "She is an extraordinary woman."

Lucien smiles and hugs Helena, making her rests her head on his chest. "Indeed."

They stay there, watching the sky for several minutes while Lucien's troops clear their temporary camp and get prepared to travel.

As soon as everyone is ready, the girls approach Lucien again, and Eve speaks. "It's time, Luci. We have to go get our sisters."

"Yeah." He nods while stroking Helena's head. "We must first go to Daisy's house and then repair the portal under the life crystal mine to go to the Blue Star."

Daisy steps forward. "Due to my new strength, I can take all of us to my home in a week or less."

"Great." Eve comments. "So let's go."

As Daisy begins making huge stone ships for Lucien's entire group, Luise approaches Eve. "My great Queen... should I go back to Viset to take care of the Alliance's affairs?"

"Is that what you want?" Eve asks.

Luise makes a thoughtful expression while taking a quick look at Elsie. "Well, as Ghilanna is going with your majesty, I thought someone should be responsible for the Alliance."

Eve smiles. "I don't think this is really necessary. This continent is at peace, and there are no internal conflicts in the Alliance. In any case, the other matriarchs are loyal to me and could solve any minor problem that appears."

"But... I just..." Luise is clearly confused. She doesn't mean that she wants to follow Eve as an excited little girl looking for adventures, but she also knows that her life will be very boring if she goes back to the Alliance now.

"Why don't you come with us now?" Eve asks. "Just for now, before I go to another world."

"Hmm..." Luise really wants to go with Eve and Elsie, but she is still in doubt if that is right. She doesn't want to be a problem for them. However, upon seeing her daughter's excited and pleading expression, she nods. "Alright."

"I'm glad you're coming with us, mother-in-law." Lucien winks at Luise, making her body get warmer.

She has heard many stories about Lucien, but unlike Helena, who fears complicated family relationships, Luise is very curious about how he managed to get mothers and daughters to accept being his wives at the same time.

"Me too... dear son-in-law." She comments while looking Lucien in the eyes with an excited expression.

Elsie and Anne giggles as they watch Lucien and Luise's interactions. They know that she is very bold and they are also curious to see how she will react after being exposed to his charm for a long time.

"So, let's move on," Lucien speaks before they board one of the stone ships. Then Daisy takes them east.

While looking at the horizon over the sea, Lucien remembers what Luise said about Ron's wedding in Portgreen, and as the next day it's going to be Kara's birthday, he decides to spend the night there before heading to Daisy's house the next day.

Eve and Donna quickly agree with the idea because they really want to take a good bath and sleep in a good bed after several days of sleeping in improvised camps. They can't help but envy Lucien's wives for having the Purple World's house.

Cassidy is also happy with the idea because despite being focused on her new life alongside Lucien, she still worries about the kingdom that her father founded.

Angela and her daughters are also excited to see Ron. Yet, the most enthusiastic is little Kara, who is eager to see her uncle, mainly because they will travel to another world soon.

So, Daisy takes the stone ships in the direction of Portgreen City. With Madelyn's help to create favorable wind waves, they get there in two hours.

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

"Oh, what's that??" One of the castle guards at Portgreen thinks aloud as he sees the big stone ships appear over the city.

People there have never seen floating stone ships, so the whole city goes on alert. Most people fear the worst, but Lucien quickly flies to the ground with Cassidy and Mia in his arms, and everyone realizes what is going on.

"The King is back!!"

"He and Queen Cassidy are in town!!"

"Queen Eve is with them too!!"

The news circulates really quickly as Lucien enters the castle with his group after ordering his troops to take time off.

The royal guards, who were Lucien's former male troop, kneel to him respectfully. Their life has been very good since he helped them to get out of that forest.

Upon entering the castle's main hall, Lucien and his group are greeted by many royal guards and servants. Leading the group of guards are two men in heavy silver armor.

One of them, smiling amiably at Lucien, is Alden, one of the men who has been the most friendly to him ever and will always be one of his most loyal soldiers.

The other is Enzo, one of the people who were most hostile to Lucien and yet is still alive, something definitely rare. Despite being very grateful to Lucien, he can't help but be a little sad to see Neola beside him. That will always remind him of how he lost his fiancee.

"My King!" Alden and Enzo kneel down with the other guards and servants and speak respectfully. "And my Queens."

"Alden, my friend." Lucien quickly helps the good man to stand up while everyone else is still kneeling and very afraid of Eve.

Lucien starts walking up the stairs while talking to Alden. The girls follow him, but Neola and Kylee look at Enzo with expressions of pity.

They feel bad about forgetting him so quickly, but life with Lucien is so exciting, and thinking about another man doesn't make sense to them.

Enzo notices the girls' pitying looks and smiles, which hurts his ego even more. However, he knows that he had nothing to do. Lucien saved their lives, and only he could give the girls an even better life.

"Ehh..." Neola and Kylee realize that if they stop to talk to Enzo out of pity, that will be even worse for him. Then they follow after Lucien, hoping that Enzo can forget about them and move on with his life.

Alden tells Lucien how his life and that of the people of Portgreen have been good recently. There is no more Light Empire, and they have excellent cooperation with the Alliance. Outside of small tribes in the very south of the continent and mystic beasts in the forests, there is no other danger out there.

As soon as Lucien and his group enter the great hall on the second floor, they see Ron, Zora, and other persons. Among those people is a tall, red-haired, hybrid fox-werewolf.

"Brother!!" Scarlett runs to hug Willard.

"My King!!" Ron and everyone in the room quickly kneels when they see Lucien.

"Uncle!!" Kara runs to hug Ron while Angela amiably smiles when she sees her cousin.

"Roar!!" Little Ko runs towards the table, where she sees a big roasted pork, which smells incredibly delicious.
