"Aaahhhh… yes, baby." Bowen m.o.a.ns, while one of his servants has a hard time under the table.
Allying with Theodore was the best thing he could have done. All he had to do was to invest the money he stole from the royal castle before leaving Cassidy and using some of his soldiers to help Theodore create a mercenary group, and now he just enjoys the results of their hard work.
"Bring me more wine," Bowen order another of his servants.
The young woman walks towards the c.h.e.s.t with wine but then she falls to the floor when everything shakes simultaneously as a furious voice is heard.
"BOWEN!!!"
*Tremble*
Bowen's skin loses all Its color as his heart seems to stop for a second. He's terrified, not because of the earthquake but because he recognizes that voice.
[Cassidy? How is this possible??! I have to get out of here!!] Bowen can only think of running away, but his body is paralyzed with fear so that it is even difficult for him to keep breathing.
Outside the main building on the small island, Cassidy smiles at Rose and thank her for the earth shake. "Thanks."
Rose nods. "No problem; I thought it would be more impactful."
L.u.s.t laughs. "It was certainly effective because he is about to shit himself in fear right now."
Bowen's guards have been frozen to death or killed by an arrow from Ghilanna and Neola, so Lucien's group sits on stone chairs that Rose creates to enjoy the show.
Lucien is always fair to his girls, so this time he has little Ko in his l.a.p while Oya sits on the arm of his stone throne.
The pair of mother and daughter moon tigers are increasingly learning how to act like people. Actually, nothing has changed so much besides the fact that they have to wear clothes in public, being able to talk and, and in the case of Oya, be able to have s.e.x with Lucien, which she loves very much.
But the main things remain: Protecting their family, being obedient to Lucien to receive pats, and what Cassidy is about to do now, crush their enemies.
Although Lucien's wives do not totally agree with each other, mainly due to the difference in their personalities, they still live around him like planets orbiting around a sun, as sisters, and therefore they have good sync.
That's why Madelyn doesn't need Lucien or Cassidy to ask her to act. Seeing that Bowen will is leaving his hiding place, the cute cat-wind creates a tornado that tears off the building's roof.
Rose makes another small earthquake that breaks down the building walls, revealing the frightened Bowen as his two servants run towards the other servants.
Cassidy walks slowly towards Bowen. "You know… when I married you, it was to give my people a better future. But when that shit happened… couldn't you be a good husband at least once? Shit, let alone me, you also abandoned your daughter and ran away! How can you still consider yourself a man?"
Bowen takes a step backward and stumbling over one of the building's wrecks; then, he starts to crawl back. "Wait, Cassidy!! There was nothing to do… it was crazy not to run away!!"
Cassidy is only angry and disgusted by Bowen, but Mia feels a deep disappointment, and although she is also saddened by the situation, she walks behind Cassidy to support her mom, always.
*BAM* *CRACK*
"AAAAAHHHHH!!!" Bowen cries when Cassidy breaks his leg. The defensive treasure barrier he had immediately broke under the incredible strength of the Warrior Queen.
Cassidy starts kicking Bowen's body while holding her strength not to kill him too fast. "You filthy pig!!"
In desperation, Bowen tries to ask for mercy, but he won't have it from Cassidy, and while rolling on the ground, he sees Mia behind her mom and appeals to her.
"My daughter! Don't let your mom kill me!! You're only alive because of me…" He is clearly not good at begging.
Mia tries to remember fond memories of Bowen, but all she remembers is him drinking wine and being pleased by servants while her mom took care of the whole kingdom.
He even tried to get close to Mia sometimes, but she felt a natural repugnance of him, and so he was angry to the point of wanting to spank her. But Cassidy never let him touch her, of course. Cassidy always treated her with affection while Bowen wanted her to be his little porcelain princess… a pretty face for him to show the nobles, and worse, something for him to use against Cassidy.
Mia looks at Bowen without any affection. "You gave me life… but my mother was the only one to take care of me. She suffered the pain of my birth and gave me real love… you never really did anything for me. So why should I feel any good feelings towards you?"
"Mi-" Bowen gets furious and tries to yell at Mia, but Cassidy kicks him in the face making him eat sand from the ground while bleeding a lot.
As Lucien walks towards them in silence, Cassidy smiles at Mia as she strokes her face. "You are my most precious treasure and the reason I didn't die from that poison before Lucien could save me… thanks for being such a good daughter."
Mia smiles at Cassidy and takes a step back before hugging Lucien. Although she hates her father, she will not be happy to see his death.
Cassidy takes a deep breath and looks at Bowen. "You know… you gave me Mia, so I can't say that our marriage was a total failure."
"Uh-h-hh…" Bowen tries to beg, but his mouth is destroyed by Cassidy's last kick, preventing him from saying anything but m.o.a.ns.
While summons her greatsword from her storage ring, Cassidy walks over to Bowen. "I'm going to give you a quick death. A gift from Mia and me to you even though you don't deserve it… that's just because I love her so much, and I don't want to waste my time on a piece of trash like you."
"Nnnn…" Bowen tries to beg once more as he crawls, but his head rolls after Cassidy makes a quick cut with her greatsword.
While seeing Bowen's lifeless body, Cassidy doesn't feel much better, not because she expected more from this revenge but because her life can't get any better because being with Lucien that way is already perfect.
Still, knowing that Bowen does not have a good life after leaving her and Mia in that nightmare is not bad, and the best thing is to put an end to that part of their life.
Mia feels nothing but the comfortable warmth of Lucien's embrace. A part of her has a strong d.e.s.i.r.e to get pregnant with Lucien to give their daughter a good father different from the one she had. Still, her shitty life took her to Lucien, so she doesn't regret anything as well as Cassidy.
"Let's go," Cassidy speaks as she walks over to Lucien and kisses his lips.
"Yes, there is nothing else for us here," Lucien speaks while also kissing Mia's forehead.
Angela creates a large floating platform for everyone while Maggie burns Bowen's body. Although she doesn't feel anything about him, she doesn't want Mia's father's body to rot on the sand.
While Bowen's body turns to ash and is driven away by the sea wind, Lucien and his girls fly back to the cat-clan. Lucien doesn't care about the servants and lets them live as they can leave the small island in Bowen's private ship.
Despite the mood being neutral due to the number of deaths during the day, Lucien's c.a.r.e.s.ses and kisses easily turn on the girls, who are always prepared to 'get stronger.'

Meanwhile, in one of the largest cities on the east continent, also known as Freelands, an unprecedented phenomenon is taking place in the sky.
The people of Petra, mostly human with tanned skin slightly higher than the people of the western continent, watch their city being illuminated by the bright red circle in the starry sky.
"What kind of magic is it?" An old man thinks out loud.
"It's a fire spell." A young lady responds, with no certainty in her tone.
"Is it another of Lady Daisy's experiments?" A mage asks.
"It's quite possible… Lady Daisy is always creating something new and incredible." Another person comments.
"She is so beautiful, talented, and powerful… Lord Heike is fortunate to have her as his wife."
"And our glorious kingdom of Camblea for having her as a protector. Without her, we couldn't be at the top of the Freelands."
"It's true… I wonder if her daughter will also be a great mage that will continue to protect our people after Lady Daisy dies."
"Oh, the young lady… she really inherited her mother's beauty. However, many say that her talent was hampered by Baron Heike's genes."
"Where's the young lady? I haven't heard about her in over a year."
"Don't worry; Lady Daisy wouldn't let anything happen to her daughter."
"Also, Lady Daisy still looks young…"
A middle-aged man makes a thoughtful expression. "My grandmother said that lady Daisy looked exactly like she was twenty-five years ago. This has to be wrong, right?"
The mage also makes a thoughtful expression. "Well, Lady Daisy is an alchemist, so she may have discovered the youth potion and is saving it only for herself."
"Hahaha… yes, but that would be a problem for Lord Heike at some point…"
While other men start laughing, a woman makes a concerned expression. "Damn, is this the time for this kind of conversation? The red circle seems to be getting bigger… what if it's not Lady Daisy's thing?"
"Well, if it's not her thing, she'll soon fix it. Nothing happens in Petra without Lady Daisy's knowledge. Even King Elliot lowers his tone to talk to her."
As people continue to say random things and assumptions about the circle in the sky, it gets bigger and bigger until it seems to be less than a hundred meters from the ground.
"I can feel the heat!! It will burn us!!" A mage shout as he and other mages begin to create a magical barrier.
"Run!! I don't know if the barrier can stop this thing!!" One of the mages tells the people who are unable to leave the place because of curiosity.
"Where's Lady Daisy?? She must have noticed that, doesn't she?"
While some people panic and others remain confident in the center of Petra, the mood is strangely silent in a large castle in the northern part of the city.
A couple watches the red circle in the sky from one of the castle's windows.
The man does not have very impressive features. With an average beauty, a height of 1.9 meters, a standard for the Freeland's people, what differentiates him from normal people is his long blond hair and his fair skin.
The woman, on the other hand, has a beauty that does not belong to this world. In her 1.7 meters of super s.e.xy slim body, she impresses everyone for having perfect pale skin.
Thin waist, slightly broad h.i.p.s, perky b.u.t.t not very huge b.r.e.a.s.ts are perfect points that just make her more attractive.
Because her most impressive feature is her beautiful fairy face, which, with Its refined and delicate traits, draws the attention of any man.
Also, her red eyes are highlighted by her long white hair, which in her favorite hairstyle is in a bun with two large strands that go down to her knees.
"Daisy, my love, isn't that circle dangerous?" The man asks.
The beautiful lady looks at the circle that actually has the shape of snake-style dragons devouring its own tail, with a serious expression.
She is worried about their home, her husband, and especially her daughter. However, she maintains a gracious and calm attitude, worthy of a mature and confident woman.
"No, the circle is not dangerous… It's a portal, and dangerous are the people who will come out of it." Daisy speaks while her mind runs hundreds of plans to ensure the safety of her family.
"Who will come out of this portal?" The man asks.
Daisy responds with just a word, one that would make inferior and medium worlds tremble with fear.
"Shé."
