Eve kisses Lucien's cheek to her heart's content. "Damn, Luci; you smell so good…"
"Hehehe…" Lucien is a little embarrassed by Eve saying that in a loving way but without any s.e.x.u.a.l intention. Eve's love is so pure, just like that of his mother.
Eve laughs. "Well, you always smelled good and everything else… it's easy to understand how you get along so well with L.u.s.t."
Lucien starts to get more and more uncomfortable with Eve's praises. He is so used to treating women in a specific way… well, in a way that he doesn't want to act with Eve, but that he knows he will start wanting it if they keep touching each other that much.
"Well, we must go back now to decide what we are going to do together." Lucien tries to escape Eve's hugs for fear that he will become addicted to it again.
Eve seems to notice Lucien getting uncomfortable with her kisses and touches, which makes her want to tease him even more. "Okay. Do you carry me back?"
Lucien nods. "Of course. Let's go."
He approaches Eve and wrappers a hand around her waist, so she hugs him as he flies up the sky. Both Eve and Lucien feel that it is very normal for them to act like affectionate siblings, but things also look different… in a good way, of course.
Eve feels that Lucien's touch feels warmer than ever. [Maybe it's because it's not depressed anymore… this is good, right?]
Lucien stops overthinking about how he feels about Eve now and focus on what they will do next. His mind always thinking for the sake of his whole family never stops planning the next steps.
They quickly go to the spot where the girls are, and everyone looks at Lucien and Eve in the sky with curious expressions.
Eve's troops are very confused about what is going on, but they are also very proud to have Eve as they are great Queen as she increasingly demonstrates her incredible power.
The fact that Lucien's group is made up entirely of powerful women makes the troops think that they will join Eve's group while only Lucien remains a doubt.
Lucien descends towards the large table that Luise ordered the troops to prepare after Eve and Lucien destroyed the previous one with their 'scene.'
At the same time, Neola arrives with Madelyn and most of Lucien's troops. Eve's troops are as surprised as Lucien's to see that they are all women there, except for Lucien.
And of course, Lucien's troops, as well as some of his wives, cannot help but worry that all those women will become 'Lucien's women.'
As soon as Lucien lands on the ground, hugging Eve, Amelia pouts, clearly jealous. "Did she spank you, brother?"
Lucien laughs and pats Amelia's head. "You're afraid she will spank you too, don't you?"
"Hehehe…" Amelia giggles and hugs Lucien tighter, trying to demonstrate with actions that she is closer to him than ever.
Lucien introduces Neola and the other girls to Eve, and the women of Eve's group get surprised to see Dawn among them, mainly because only Luise and Elsie know that Amelia is the light envoy right now, but these things, as well as Lucien and Eve's relationship, can't remain unknown for long as they don't try to hide it.
Lucien and Eve's troops maintain formation around the clean area while their leaders talk. Still, of course, they can't help but be curious about each other since most of Lucien's troops are also demi-humans from the Alliance, which makes it even easier for them to get along.
Along with Lucien's troops, Raquel and Estela also arrived, and while the s.e.xy mom joins Cassidy, Angela, and Aria to talk, Lucien calls Estela close to him and little Ko to eat some snacks from the table.
Lucien doesn't discern any changes in his attitudes, but the girls can't help but notice how affectionate and kind he is with the two cute little girls.
Just as it is a little strange for Eve to see Lucien changed from a depressed boy to a new man, his wives are also surprised to see more and more of his different sides.
Well, in a way, this is normal because no one goes on forever the same way, just as everyone does differently with different people.
Lucien has fun with little Ko and Estela eating snacks for some minutes and then goes back to talking about his plans to the girls.
"Eve and I agreed to work as a team because, well, that's what a united family should do. However, she, Amelia, me, and our other sisters have to do certain things in certain ways together with our sins to maximize our generation of demonic energy."
Eve continues while looking at Amelia. "Yes, that's why we have to keep things under control."
Envy can't help but comment. "Oh, come on, Pride sucks. It would be nice to have a different leader at least once."
Lucien shakes his head. "Who's talking about Pride? She doesn't even want to participate in this conversation. Eve, Amelia, I, and we other sisters will lead our family together."
Amelia nods. "As long as I can stay with you and generate that powerful energy, Envy and I have nothing to complain about."
Lucien already misses the pleasant mix of energies that he and Amelia, or he and Envy can generate, but Eve doesn't like the idea of her siblings doing naughty things.
"Maybe you are doing something wrong and not generating enough energy on your own?" Eve looks at Envy with a slightly hostile expression.
Before Envy answers, Amelia speaks first. "That's not it. We were doing well before I found my brother. But now it doesn't make more sense to be apart… I mean, haven't you tried our mixed energies?"
Eve cannot deny that mixing energies with Lucien is incredible, even though she has only felt a very small part of that.
Still, she and Pride are 'complicated.' Eve makes a solemn expression as she gazes at Amelia. "I know, right. However, you don't deceive me with this fake performance. You want Lucien's attention only for you, don't you?"
Amelia would never disrespect Eve before as she knows that her big sis is quite severe; however, now, having Lucien at her side, Amelia does not back down but approaches him while facing Eve. "Yes, I want ALL of his attention only for me."
"YOUR BRAT!!" Eve gets up while preparing to discipline Amelia. She fears that Amelia's selfish and jealous attitudes will get out of control.
"Hey!!" But Lucien also gets up and stands between his sisters. "This is no time for this kind of thing, okay? We need to focus on more important things now."
Eve is a little upset that Lucien defends Amelia even though she is wrong in her point of view. But she understands that they must focus on other things now.
"Luci, you can't let Amelia do everything she wants and pamper her all the time." Eve sits down again as she speaks.
Lucien makes a sorry expression. "Amelia's excessive jealousy shouldn't be healthy, but… now it empowers her and Envy. We have to accept our sins to get stronger; it can't be helped."
Pride can't help but comment in Eve's mind. 'The boy is right, and you're doing it wrong by letting him take the lead.'
'No, he is not taking the lead, but we are doing it together.' Eve returns to Pride.
'I clearly chose the wrong host. You do not know anything.' Pride mocks.
Eve cannot understand how Pride is so immature, being supposedly a demon with thousands of years.
But she also refuses to let Pride have the last word. 'You complain about me, but what about you? You can't even face him because you're afraid he'll give you another kiss. What's the hell is up with a stupid kiss? Or is it his demonic energy that makes yours look like shit? Oh, let me guess… do you also fear L.u.s.t, the one you said was stupidly weak?'
Pride is upset by Eve's harsh words, but a part of her is also happy that Eve never backs off. Pride will always pressure Eve to be the best, the strongest, the proudest, but that does not mean that they will always agree on everything.
Also, the siblings' interaction seems to be getting better and better not only for Eve but also for Amelia and especially Lucien. Pride may be overly arrogant, but she, L.u.s.t, and Envy, want the same thing: to become stronger together with the siblings, and for that, they need to be increasingly sinful.
L.u.s.t and Envy realize that too. They never had host siblings before, and the bloody rose seems to be influencing them more and more, which, despite being dangerous, will make them stronger and stronger.
While Envy can only think about the pleasure and power Lucien can give her, L.u.s.t is really concerned about their future. L.u.s.t no longer thinks as a great demon, but as Lucien's wife.
Lucien sits down again while sighing. [Dealing with my wives was being so easy… how did things get so complicated?]
L.u.s.t sits on his lap and starts to stroke his c.o.c.k while talking to him mentally. 'You need to relax. Dealing with Pride and Envy is very stressful.'
He strokes L.u.s.t's waist and ass as he smiles at her. 'I can only move on because you are by my side, my love.'
L.u.s.t giggles and kisses Lucien's lips.
"Ohhh, come on!!" Eve, Amelia, and Envy exclaim together as they watch L.u.s.t and Lucien kiss.
Lucien ends the kiss with L.u.s.t and laughs. "What? We just talked about our sins…"
"…" All the women around Lucien do the same expressionless look while little Ko and Estela continue eating snacks without paying attention to their conversation.
L.u.s.t takes a glass of wine from the table and gives it to Lucien while he smiles and begins to explain his plan. "Well, I would love to keep discussing our sins, but we need to move on with our plans."
Eve also takes a glass of wine as she comments. "I was going to conquer this whole continent before we met."
"Me either," Lucien responds.
"So, what now?" Eve asks.
"Let's do it," Lucien responds.
"Together." Eve comments.
"Yes, as King and Queen." Lucien brings his wine glass closer to Eve.
Eve smiles and touches her glass on Lucien's, toasting. "I like it."
