While Elsie says goodbye to her mother, Eve says goodbye to Lucien and Amelia.
Eve feels more and more like not separating from her siblings, but just as Lucien has to solve his wives' problems, she has to put an end to the Alliance and Light Empire conflict.
Lucien can see Eve's concern in her loving expression. He hugs Eve tightly, ignoring the curious gaze of all their troops.
"Come on, Amelia," Eve calls Amelia to join the hug just as they did before.
Amelia hugs Eve and Lucien while speaking honestly. "I will miss you, big sis."
"If we act fast…" Lucien and Eve start to speak the same words, then stop and start laughing.
"We can be…" Lucien continues and stops, giving Eve a chance to continue.
"Together soon." Eve finishes and hugs her siblings once again.
Amelia feels the need to say a few words too. "So, let's do this, and anything else needed to become stronger and keep our family safe."
"Yeah." Lucien and Eve agree again at the same time, which only shows more and more how they look alike.
"We will be together in less than two months. These unicorns are very fast, and they can also be boosted by Pride's aura." Eve points to the unicorns behind the troops.
Lucien looks at the beautiful unicorns and nods. "They are really amazing creatures."
"The best mounts we can get in this world. Do you wanna…" Eve starts asking.
But at the same time that Oya steps up to Lucien, he quickly interrupts Eve. "There's only one mount for me, and it's my beloved Oya."
Eve can't help but make a strange expression. "Luci, this is very weird that your mount is also your wife."
Lucien shakes his head. "Actually, it's very fair, you know… I ride her in battle and her ride my co… in another situation, hehehe…"
Eve does a fake upset expression. "Damn, Luci! You look like Naomi now, but instead of saying these things just for fun, I know you're serious."
Lucien tries to contain his smile while taking a deep breath. "We do what we have to do… This is our life, or rather, our sinful life, now."
Eve shakes her head as she walks towards Lucien's wives. "I will say goodbye to your girls."
Lucien is happy that Eve is so kind even though she is also severe. He can see that despite not agreeing that he has many wives, she is doing her best to get along with them.
While Eve talks to Lucien's wives, Luise, Elsie, and Anne approach him.
"My K-king…" Luise tries to speak to Lucien respectfully, but it is not easy for her to get used to this new situation so quickly.
Lucien smiles friendly, but of course, his smile is also alluring for any woman without high will. "You don't have to call me King if you don't want to."
Luise is a little confused as she tries to understand more about Lucien's character. However, she trusts him as he is Eve's brother.
She says while stroking Elsie's shoulder. "Lucien… I'm letting my daughter go with you, and although I trust her strength, as a mother, I would like to ask you to take care of her, and… to don't try anything weird on her, you know…"
Lucien doesn't know what to think about Luise's words. He knows that it is normal for any woman to think he is something of a pervert for being with the L.u.s.t sin herself, but being judged in that way by someone who doesn't know him is still uncomfortable.
Still, he can't help but sympathize with Luise for being a protective mother. "Don't worry, I'm not an innocent girl-eater."
Anne can't contain her laugh while joking. "Oh, don't you?"
Lucien smiles teasingly at her. "No… but of naughty fox-girls."
Anne's face flushes as she smiles at him. Elsie gets embarrassed as she smiles too.
Luise shakes her head as she takes a deep breath and thinks to herself. [It can't end well, can it? I should stop her from going… but that wouldn't be right either.]
Elsie hugs Luise. "I'll be fine, mom. I'm with my family while I'm with Anne's family, right?"
"Yeah… I guess so." Luise kisses de Elsie's forehead before returning to Eve's side.
Lucien smiles at Anne and Elsie and then kisses the forehead of his cute fox-girl. Then he goes back to Eve's side, leaving the girls laughing with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Eve's troops prepared to return to travel while she said goodbye to Lucien's wives, so they are ready to move on.
She puts June, the angel passed out, on top of her unicorn, and Lucien asks. "Are you going to kill her after getting all information from her?"
Eve answers. "I'm not sure; Pride has plans for her…"
"I imagined that." Lucien thinks out loud.
She hugs Lucien and Amelia once again. "See you soon, my siblings. Stay safe."
"See you soon, big sis," Lucien speaks while Eve mounts on her unicorn, and Amelia hugs his waist.
But before she turns around, he speaks again. "Wait! What about Pride? Doesn't she want to say goodbye to her sisters and… get a goodbye kiss?"
While Eve and everyone around them try to contain their laughter, Pride materializes in front of Lucien and grabs his neck. "Did you want to see me, silly boy?"
Without using his demonic energies, Lucien's agility, although very high, cannot be compared to that of Pride, which results in him being caught off guard by her.
But he quickly activates his mix of energies purple and gray and also grabs Pride's neck while both choking each other.
"If a silly boy can beat the shit out of you, you shouldn't think too much about yourself, right?" Lucien smiles provocatively as he approaches his face of hers.
Eve rolls her eyes while Lucien's wives also know that they shouldn't get involved between him and Pride as they clearly enjoy fighting each other.
And so, they can't help but have a common thought. [What will it be like when he meets Wrath?]
Pride has to deal with several conflicting emotions while seeing Lucien's mouth approach her lips. Perhaps her greatest desire now is to taste more of his demonic energy, but she cannot do that because her personality would see it as her giving in to him and losing her self respect.
However, she also cannot back down either, or that would mean losing even more respect. She wants to be angry at Lucien, though she can't help but find him incredible in every way, and it also hurts her overkilling ego.
[DAMN!! Why do you have to be like that?] Pride is extremely upset with herself as she faces Lucien.
But on the other hand, not only does he make everything more interesting, but he also considerably affects Eve, which Pride still doesn't know whether it is positive or negative.
She brings her lips close to Lucien's mouth as she speaks slowly. "I don't need to say goodbye to my sisters because separations like that are like a few minutes to beings as old as us. And if I want a kiss from you, I'll take it just as I take anything I want, the way I want, and whenever I want."
Lucien can't help but find Pride's arrogance a very attractive feature. L.u.s.t's love and teasing Envy is also very incredible, but the fact that Pride is not easily seduced by him makes conquering her heart a very pleasurable goal not only to succeed but also to chase.
He still wants to punish her for looking down at his family and mistreating L.u.s.t and Envy, but he is also increasingly attracted to her and the similarities between them.
Lucien also speaks slowly while his lips almost touch hers by just half an inch. "The next time we meet, I'll kiss you again and show you that I also get what I want."
Despite knowing that Lucien will punish her later, which makes her more excited than concerned, Envy cannot resist making one more of her iconic comments.
"Come on! If you steal Greed's goals, what will she do?" Envy smiles.
"Shut up, Envy!" Lucien and Pride speak together.
Then they smile at each other.
"See you, Lucien." Pride speaks as she dematerializes her body, returning to Eve's soul. A part of her cannot help but wish that their reunion's day soon arrives despite her having said that few weeks mean nothing to her.
Lucien smiles at Eve as she waves at him and makes her unicorn start running south again.
Eve's troops quickly follow her, leaving Lucien and his girls alone in that open area.
"Big sis hasn't changed at all." Amelia comments.
"But Pride did. She was so…" L.u.s.t starts to comment.
"Grumpy. Boring. Jerk…" Envy continues.
L.u.s.t agrees. "Nothing that hubby's c.o.c.k can't fix."
"Hahahaha…" Envy laughs but can't hide the sparkle of jealousy in her eyes. "Though, she doesn't deserve it."
"That who decides is Lucien." L.u.s.t hugs his waist.
"Yeah…" Envy tries to hug the other side of Lucien's waist, but Amelia was faster than she and also smiles provocatively at her.
Lucien pats L.u.s.t and Amelia's heads. "This is no time for a picnic. We need to go to the Alliance quickly and then to the east continent. Let's go back to the sh.i.p.s."
He and the girls start heading towards the beach, where some of Lucien's troops wait on the sh.i.p.s.
As they walk, he gives a storage bracer to Rebecca. "Eve gave me the spoils of the angels. I'm sure you can fix them or use them to make new equipment for us."
Rebecca takes the storage treasure while nods. "I will do my best… you need a new armor after the old one went dust in that explosion."
Lucien was really upset about losing his old black armor because it was really comfortable, but he knows that Rebecca can do another one even better.
Elsie, on the other hand, finds it very good that Lucien no longer has the black armor covering his body but a causal leather suit that shows a lot of his devilishly attractive body.
She doesn't take her eyes off him while walking beside Anne.
Anne smiles as she speaks jokingly. "You have to learn to control your emotions, Elsie. Your flushed face easily reveals your naughty thoughts towards my husband."
Elsie giggles. "I'm sorry, but I can't stop looking… Damn! How can he be so charming? Is that some kind of magic because of L.u.s.t?"
Anne shakes her head. "I'm sure not because L.u.s.t is attracted to him just as we are."
"It makes sense…" Elsie comments as she tries to stop looking at Lucien. "This journey will be difficult if he continues to wear clothes that reveal a lot of his body."
Anne makes a funny expression. "Don't worry; he doesn't usually wear this type of clothing. He will change when we get to the ship."
"Really?" Elsie is confused as it makes sense to wear casual clothes when just being around people close in a place like a ship.
But then Anne explains while giggling. "Yeah… he doesn't like clothes at all."
"WHAT??!" Elsie exclaims, drawing everyone's attention.
