A part of Amelia is very jealous of Angela, not precisely because she is getting stronger, but mainly because she is doing it so well with Lucien.
But both herself and Envy couldn't help but be impressed by the speed that Angela reached the second layer the Mortal Realm from the first. Of course, if Lucien wasn't lying, but he has no reason to lie.
While Envy wants more and more to have Lucien under her control, Amelia began to think that he can fulfill her desire to become stronger than their sisters faster than Envy can; after all, it is obvious that L.u.s.t's powers are better at helping others while most other sins, like Envy, focus on strengthening only them and their hosts.
Amelia is also much more inclined to believe in Lucien, her brother, than Envy, a manipulative demon, even though the soul contract prevents them from harming each other.
But instead of accepting Lucien's help, Amelia is now more certain than ever that she has to show Lucien that he better focus his attention mainly on her and not on his wives, so he can strengthen her faster, and of course, she would do her best to help him too.
Still, the most complicated part for Amelia is making it clear that she wants to "cooperate" with Lucien. She still isn't sure what exactly she can do with him. Hugs and caresses look very good, but anything more still seems very wrong.
For Amelia, the best way to proceed still seems to be the competition. So she can show Lucien how he is overestimating his wives and make him keep his promise to let her lead.
After hearing about Angela's progress, Envy started asking L.u.s.t questions, while Amelia looked at Angela with a strange expression.
Lucien held one of Angela's hands and one of Amelia's hands. "I love Angela and my other wives very much, and I hope that you can get along with them, sister."
"Of course, hubby. Amelia is certainly an amazing girl. I don't see how we could have any problems." Angela spoke very sincerely and kindly.
Lucien had already warned his women about the problematic effects of the bloody rose, Envy's influence, and Amelia's strange personality could create. Still, seeing Angela's sincerity and goodwill, he couldn't help but kiss her lips.
Amelia was a little embarrassed because she had been plotting to boycott Lucien's wives for a long time to get more of his attention, but when she saw Angela's sincerity, she felt a little bad; after all, she doesn't even know Lucien's wives to be able to judge if they are just women taking advantage of him or if they are good people.
But first, because Angela called Lucien "hubby" in such an intimidate and lovingly way, and second for the kiss he gave on her lips, Amelia's jealous again drove out any rational thoughts she wanted to have.
Although it is already night, the beautiful two moons illuminate the beach very well, and Amelia could see the lips of her beloved brother in contact with Angela's lips.
After that intimate act, Angela couldn't help smiling with a slightly flushed face even though they were under the cold night sea wind.
Amelia has never kissed anyone on the lips, but it is very obvious to her that her brother kisses very well. And, of course, once again, her feelings of wanting to try it conflict with her thoughts that it is very wrong to cross that line.
But since she doesn't want to let Lucien know about her feelings, and she also doesn't want to sound irrational by being rude to Angela, she smiled. "Okay, I'll try my best."
Lucien knows that the situation is not going to be that simple, but he is happy that Amelia at least seems willing to get along with his wives. Also, he is happy that her first contact is with Angela, who is a calm and kind woman.
Still, he understands that some problems with the girls like Rose, Mia, and others with more spoiled attitudes will happen at some point, and of course, he will deal with that.
Then Lucien brought Amelia's hand to Oya's head. Even the big tigress understands that Amelia is different from Lucien's wives, and that is why she did not want to create problems. But she would not hide her hostility to Envy.
"Oya is an adorable big cat, and her daughter, Little Ko, is also super cute. I'm sure you will enjoy meeting her." Lucien spoke as he stroked Oya's soft fur.
While Envy asked L.u.s.t several questions about Lucien and his wives, she also paid attention to their conversation. And because Amelia seemed to be becoming very friendly, Envy started to get worried about her planes.
"Don't try turning Amelia against me, Lucien. We are partners just like you and L.u.s.t. The soul contract prevents us from harming each other, and you know it."
Envy looked at Lucien with a slightly hostile expression. She didn't like him trying to allure Amelia by offering her power. That is her purpose and not his.
In addition to the hostility in Envy's expression, Lucien can also see a little fear, and it made him feel very good. He knows that he can't really hurt her physically other than to cause some pain by confining her demonic energy, but if he can cause her fear and discomfort, it could be a way to prevent her from manipulating Amelia.
Lucien took a step towards Amelia and slowly warped his arm around her waist. Amelia was surprised by his subtle action, but in addition to her body, not wanting to be away from him, her mind also wants to start "marking her place."
Then he smiled provocatively at Envy. "Oh, don't talk bullshit. I just want to help my sister, just like you should wanting to help yours."
Envy started to get angry at Lucien, but a part of her knows he is right. Still, she wouldn't take a step back. "Don't make it look like I'm the villain here. We're all on the same team."
"Hahahaha…" Lucien started to laugh while continuing to hug Amelia's waist, keeping their bodies in touch.
While Envy frowned, Lucien spoke. "Same team, right? As long as I'm a s.e.x slave for you and a trophy for Amelia."
Envy was furious, more furious than she has been in a long time. Not because Lucien's words were absurd, but because it is exactly her plan.
She saw Amelia's expression grow sad as she hid her face on Lucien's chest. Envy quickly had to think of an answer. Then she started to make a fake smile.
"Oh, I know what you're doing… You're trying to avoid the battle because you know you can't win this competition, right?"
Envy thought her words would completely break Lucien's confident attitude, but then L.u.s.t and Angela started to laugh, leaving Envy and Amelia confused. Envy even though she saw the big tigress shake her head with a disappointed expression in her eyes.
Lucien also shook his head. "Was that your best move? I'm sorry to inform you, but actually, my girls and I are eager to kill those shitty racists. You brought your pawns here to be annihilated."
While Envy didn't know what to think, Lucien felt Amelia trying to get away from him, so he gently pulled her body towards him while he spoke lovingly.
"It has nothing to do with you, sister. You don't need tricks to get my affection and help. You will always have a special place in my arms and in my heart, not in my way, but in the way you want."
*Thump* *Thump*
Amelia's heart beat faster when she heard Lucien's loving words. Even without the soul connection, she is sure his words are true.
At that moment, she had no doubts that she could have anything from him. So all of her chaotic feelings and doubts came down to one issue.
'In what way do I want to be in his arms?' Amelia couldn't help wondering.
Now Amelia understood that she has had this doubt for many years, and if she does not try harder to understand her feelings, this doubt will keep messing up her for a long time.
Understanding her own feelings… Amelia did not know that it is so complicated.
And when thinking about that, she couldn't help comparing herself to her main rival.
'How did Sophia understand her feelings? How can she cross that line that should not be crossed? How can she accept becoming her own brother's wife?!' Doubts and more doubts are all in Amelia's mind now.
While Amelia's mind is in chaos, her body couldn't feel better under Lucien's gentle caresses. He doesn't want to force her into anything and just give Amelia what she wants. Of course, as long as it is not harmful to his family, or rather, their family.
But Envy is not someone who gets confused and backs off; on the contrary, she always has an answer.
She quickly started talking to Amelia mentally. 'Really? Are you going to let him manipulate and seduce you that easy?'
Amelia didn't answer Envy, so she continued. 'I don't care what way you want him. As your man or your brother, the path is still the same. If you want him, it must be you who makes him want you first.'
Although Amelia is still not responding, Envy knew she is listening, so she continued.
'You, or rather, us as partners, need to be in control of the situation. This does not mean that it will be harmful to your brother, but that we will take good care of him.'
Envy's manipulations are always clear to Amelia. Although they can't hurt each other, they can modify words to make things sound better than they really are.
Still, some things cannot help but to make sense to Amelia. Especially the part where Envy says they'll take care of Lucien.
'Yes… I want to take care of him… I want to give him my best… I want to give him all of me.' Amelia started to think to herself.
'Even if I lead our relationship, it will not be bad for him… yes, he will always have me to help… to hug him… and… even if he needs other things… I must be the only one responsible for taking care of my brother.'
While Amelia's possessive desires grew more than ever, and she began to generate a lot of demonic energy. And that cold energy started to enter Lucien's body as she hugged him tighter.
Lucien felt the cold demonic energy generated by Amelia's 'envy' entering his body. He thought it wasn't good for a second, but then he realized that it would always be a part of Amelia.
And he also understood that he couldn't fight it, after all, just as his nature is now luxurious, Amelia's will be jealous.
Instead of trying to change her, Lucien wants to accept her in every way. His warm and comfortable demonic energy began to mix with her cold energy inside their bodies, creating something unique, never seen before.
The pleasure they both began to feel comes along with a possessive feeling that Lucien has never felt before. At that moment, Lucien couldn't help but crave Amelia staying in his arms like that forever, and that she would only belong to him.
Amelia was feeling the same way as Lucien, but then as if a wheel of emotions spun inside their bodies, the warm part of that new demonic energy started to make them feel so comfortable and loved. That pleasure of being in each other's arms prevented them from feeling any negative feelings.
While Lucien and Amelia created something incredible and new, L.u.s.t and Envy watched everything with shocked expressions.
But while Envy feared the unknown while wanting to have control over that, L.u.s.t started to smile because Lucien again surprised her in a good way.
Envy couldn't help but be jealous of Amelia. She desires to be in Lucien's arms in that way too.
Although L.u.s.t couldn't help but be a little jealous too, she fears nothing and feels very good because Lucien is her husband. They have the strongest and most amazing soul contract of all, and together they share an incredibly powerful and mutual love.
