Amelia was making an embarrassed and angry expression at the same time, which Lucien found extremely cute.
He really wanted to tease her more just to see her make more cute expressions because he had never seen her like this before.
“Alright, sis. Stay calm, and let’s talk.” Lucien raised his hands while making a sincere expression.
Amelia’s feelings were in chaos, and her condition only got worse the longer she looked at Lucien’s cheeky smile.
She turned and looked away while crossing her arms. “I don’t wanna talk to you!”
Lucien smiled, walked towards the carriage, and then he sat next to Dawn, who was still knocked out and drooling a little.
“Don’t be mad at me, sis. Would you prefer that I had hurt you? I only did that because I didn’t want to hit my cute and adorable older sister.” He spoke to Amelia while checking Dawn’s state.
Amelia wanted to be angry at Lucien, but she understood the feeling of not wanting to hurt a family member… excluding her failure of a father.
Although she wanted to prove herself to be stronger than him, she also could not use all her combat capabilities against her brother.
But it was not the part about not wanting to hurt her that touched her the most, but how affectionate he said she is cute and adorable.
Amelia blushed even more, but there was no anger at Lucien in her heart. There was never anger between them. Amelia just doesn’t know how to act around Lucien.
She continued looking away while maintaining her fake upset posture. “I’m not really mad at you. But you can’t do weird things to me.”
Lucien found Dawn really beautiful. Her skin was so smooth that he couldn’t resist playing with her cheek while she seemed to be having sweet dreams.
“You know, sis… These weird things are not really bad and can make our family very powerful, so that bad things don’t happen to us again.”
Amelia felt a little sadness in Lucien’s tone. Before, he only cared about his mother, but now he looks different.
“I’m glad your mom is alive. I’m sure we’ll be able to rescue her. Also, I understand you. My mom is always fighting alongside our dad, and I fear for her.”
“Our father is weak and blinded by hate so he can’t really protect our family… But we can. Now, with the great demons at our side, we can keep our whole family safe.”
Amelia was opening her heart for the first time in many years. She was talking about her feelings…
“Also…” Then she turned back to look Lucien in the eye, but then she saw him playing with Dawn’s cheeks.
A bad feeling grew inside Amelia when she saw the smile on Lucien’s face, while he was having weird fun with Dawn.
“You idiot!! What are you doing to her?!?!?!”
Amelia jumped on the carriage and started punching Lucien. She was angry because he was ignoring her, but mostly because he was finding Dawn more interesting than talking to her.
Lucien didn’t defend himself and just let Amelia punch him.
“Okay, just let me give her a little more life mana to make sure she doesn’t have any aftereffects from when I hit her on the head. She’s your assistant, right?”
Amelia stopped punching Lucien and made a confused expression. “Life mana? How do you have life mana?!”
If Amelia had already caused all that drama when he touched her ass, Lucien didn’t even want to imagine what it would be like if she knew what happened between him and Sophia.
He tried to make an honest expression. “Ah, I got it from a wife of mine. Thanks to Lust’s powers, I can share my wives’ abilities and attributes.”
Amelia punched Lucien hard on the shoulder. “What wives?! You must be kidding!!”
He held her arms because Amelia seemed out of control. “I am serious.”
Amelia couldn’t really use her strength against Lucien, or rather, she didn’t want to. So, she tried to bite his arm.
“Are you crazy? We have only been in this world for like a couple of months, but do you already say you have wives? Who are these whores?”
Lucien jumped back to dodge Amelia’s blows.” They are not whores. They are my family too, so you will have to get along with them. Also, Lust and I had problems with the portal, so we arrived in this world a little over a month ago.”
Amelia went after Lucien and kept trying to hit him, but she was not using her real speed and strength but just trying to vent her chaotic feelings, or rather, jealousy.
“That is even worse! You have only been with them for a little over a month. But you say that they are already your wives? WIVES? How many are there?!”
Lucien didn’t like to think of his wives as numbers, so he started saying their names, which made Amelia look even more annoyed as she tried to hit him.
“Are you kidding? This isn’t funny!!” Amelia didn’t believe that Lucien would have so many wives. This seemed very surreal, for someone as cold and depressed as he was a short time ago.
While Lucien tried to calm Amelia and tell her everything that happened to him, Envy was increasingly surprised by the things Lust told her.
Envy gazed at Lucien while talking to Lust. “So, did he really put your tattoo on Sloth’s host?”
Lust shook her head. “He’s listening to everything we say, so don’t speak of his sister as just a host. Also, I don’t think it’s my tattoo anymore, but a version of mine that he somehow adapted for him. It’s all very perplexing.”
Envy ignored Lust’s warning and kept talking about Lucien as some kind of peculiar species to be studied.
“Why didn’t Sloth have sex with him? That should have been the first test, to see if he can also put his tattoo on us.”
Lust was already expecting a reaction like this from Envy, so she tried not to be upset, but she was also not happy with Envy’s arrogant posture.
“Sloth knew that doing something like that would hurt Sophia. You understand how the Bloody Rose works in their bodies. Their feelings, good or bad, are more intense.”
Envy was surprised when Lust talked about the Bloody Rose out loud and quickly sent a mental message to her. ‘We agreed not to talk about the Bloody Rose until we are stronger and getting along better.’
Lust replied aloud again. “I don’t hide anything from my husband.”
“Dammit, Lust… Okay, okay. This can’t be changed, and we are connected until the end, so it’s okay for them to know. What else did you tell him?” Envy responded.
Lust smiled. “Everything. As I said, he’s my husband, not just my host.”
Envy shook her head as she became more annoyed by Lust’s responses. “You are a great demon! How can you be dominated like that by a simple human?”
“Even if he is half-demon, you are still one of the pillars of our people, and he is just a guy with some peculiarities.”
Lust rolled her eyes. “You don’t know what it’s like to be with someone you love. Since the beginning, he has treated me better than you have ever treated me. Also…”
Envy made a confused expression. “Also what?”
Lust blushed a little, which surprised Envy. “You can feel the enormous amount of demonic energy that we have, so you must understand that he caused a lot of pleasure.”
“Still, it is impossible to describe in words what it is like to do that with him. He is the best in any way that you can imagine.”
Envy couldn’t help but blush a little too. She has always been focused on her quest for power and has never had a romantic relationship, so her experience in that subject is none.
“You are overestimating him. He’s handsome, but it shouldn’t be enough to make you look like that.”
Lust shook her head as she smiled because she knew how it would end. “Well, you’ll understand, right? Don’t you want to test him? We could also make good use of your copy ability.”
Envy made a thoughtful expression. “Do you think he can use the ability of another great demon easily like that?”
“Did you see how he used his demonic energy to beat Amelia? That was the first time he tried that. He has absurdly good control over demonic energy. I would say his control is similar to ours.” Lust responded.
Envy couldn’t deny Lust’s words. Lucien is really amazing and mysterious. Of course, Envy wants to find out all Lucien’s secrets, even if she needs to have her first sexual experience with him to reach her goals.
Also, for the first time, Envy was a little jealous of Lust. She seemed so happy and satisfied with Lucien that she was already calling him husband, so Envy really wanted to know what she has been experiencing with Lucien.
Still, things would not be so simple. Envy couldn’t help but comment in a concerned tone. “It won’t be that easy.”
Envy watched at Lucien and Amelia, while they ran around the carriage. The more Lucien told Amelia about his new lifestyle, the more she wanted to beat him.
“This is the type of problem that may be more common than we think. The Bloody Rose is bringing out their deepest feelings. It is not possible to predict how many of his sisters can develop this kind of feeling.”
Envy nodded. “I chose Amelia because there were several ambitions in her heart. Most of it has to do with being stronger than her parents, but there was also something about her brother.”
“I ignored that because… well… From her memories, Lucien didn’t seem like a big deal. He actually looked…”
Lust completed the word that Envy didn’t seem to want to say. “Useless? Weak? Yes, he looked like that, but I think something was done to him with the purpose of hiding him.”
“Because of his demonic inheritances? Was it something to do with his mother?” Envy thought out loud.
Lust nodded. “Probably yes. I believe it even has something to do with that powerful presence that told us to leave their world and only return ten years later to complete their father’s request.”
“Hum… You are right. Perhaps that presence is his mother? She must be a high demon.”
“Anyway, there is no point in speculating. We have to stick to our plans. Also, don’t talk too much about his mother.” Lust responded.
Envy knew that Lucien was listening to their conversion. Still, she smirked and spoke a little louder. “Why? Is he a mama’s boy?”
Lust quickly sent a mental message to Lucien. ‘You can prevent her from dematerializing her body if you use your demonic energy to confine her energy. I can do this if you want as well.’
Lucien didn’t think twice about focusing his demonic energy again. Since it didn’t take him more than a few seconds to win against Amelia, he still had plenty of demonic energy.
The purple haze began to appear around his body, and he disappeared from Amelia’s side to reappear behind Envy. Because they were all at a distance of less than 50 meters from each other, his movements seemed like he teleported.
Lucien moved his hand towards Envy’s neck, and the purple haze from his body quickly began to embrace her body.
Envy quickly tried to dematerialing her body to reappear close to Amelia, but Lucien’s demonic energy quickly confined her. Also, she had very limited demonic energy at the time and was unable to get away from him.
He held tightly on her neck and brought his mouth to her ear as he spoke in a calm and cold tone.
“I’m done with you talking shit. I don’t like the way you talk to my wife, I don’t like the way you hide things from my sister, and I’m not going to let you talk shit about my mom.”
Envy already knew Lust’s energy, but Lucien’s demonic energy, which should be the same as hers, was actually quite different.
Lucien’s demonic energy seemed dominant and pleasurable at the same time. Envy felt pain in her neck because even though she was made of energy, she was totally under Lucien’s control.
But beyond the pain, Envy felt a pleasure she had never experienced before. She felt that as much as Lucien was hard on her, she would still like it.
She stopped trying to resist because it was useless and spoke in a provocative tone.
“And what are you going to do if I don’t obey you? Are you going to kill me? I’m immortal, which is quite different from your sister’s soul.”
Lucien brought his mouth even closer to Envy’s ear until his lips touch her skin.
“I can’t kill you, but I can certainly find ways to make you regret it.”
