The sun rises in Argerim while the birds sing in Eglia, the fox-clan main village. Again, many curious people gather in front of the house of Laure, Anne’s mother.
“I really saw Queen Eve enter Laure’s house with many other beautiful ladies.” A woman points to the house.
The other people, mostly young women, make curious expressions. One of them nods. “Yes, I have seen those women too before. They came with that divinely handsome man.”
When talking about Lucien, the eyes of all those women shine with expectation. One of them steps forward and comments. “I heard that he is Queen Eve’s brother.”
“Really?” Many of them ask.
“You have no idea.” A charming young fox-boy speaks. “I heard from one of his troops that he is the Handsome Devil, the King of Portgreen. Also, he rules this whole continent alongside Queen Eve.”
A young woman looks at Laure’s house. “What about that other beautiful ladies? Who are they?”
“His harem, of course.” The young boy responds while his eyes sparkle with jealousy, not of Lucien but of his wives and every other woman in his life.
“How do you know so much about them?” A mature woman asks.
The young boy smiles. “I was in a tavern so far listening to stories about him from some of his troops. They drank all night praising their master’s achievements and even explained how all his more than two thousand soldiers are also part of his harem, just from the lower layer, like maids and concubines.”
“There is no way to please a harem that big alone…” The woman shakes her head in disapproval. “He may be the most beautiful man in the world, but he is still only frustrating the needs of these poor women.”
“You’re talking shit!” The boy makes an upset expression. “You should go to the tavern and listen to those women describing in detail how he fucks a hundred women in a few hours nonstop.”
“Really?” Again, many girls ask as they begin to imagine that scene.
More people start to gather around that boy to hear stories about Lucien while that crowd just gets bigger. Interesting things rarely happen in the fox-clan lately, so people can’t sleep while they are so curious about the visitors.
Most of those people whisper and talk softly, but that group of so many voices starts to make a lot of noise on the street in front of Laure’s house.
So, when they are all very focused on those conversations and trying to see what’s going on inside the house, the door abruptly opens.
*Bam!*
The loud sound of Laure’s house door hitting the wall catches everyone’s attention, startling them.
A beautiful young woman leaves Laure’s house and walks towards that group of people while her eyes seem to be on fire.
The air seems to burn while everyone can feel a sensation of anger coming from that woman, and they instinctively start to step back in fear.
“You guys look like good people…” Donna comments while her sharp and long side teeth look like fangs.
Then she glares angrily at the charming young fox-boy. “But… damn!! Do you have anything else to do?!?! I’m trying to eat my breakfast in peace, but you guys keep talking about how my brother fucks hundreds of women over and over…”
The fact that Donna is saying that Lucien is her brother would shock everyone, but now they are too scared of her fury to notice that.
The big red ax appears in Donna’s hand, and she hits the ground, spiking it in the street. Then she looks at everyone in that crowd. “I’m going to leave this here for a minute, and when I get back, I’m going to use it to cut off the head of anyone who keeps in less than a mile from here.”
When Donna turns and walks back to the house, all those people run away in different directions. They don’t know who she is, but they definitely don’t want to disturb the breakfast of a person who looks more frightening than Queen Eve.
While desperately trying to get away from Laure’s cause, those people warn other curious people that going there is not a good idea right now.
Donna enters Laure’s house and tries to close the door but notices that it is slightly crooked and does not close properly. It is evident that she broke the door by opening it that brute way.
In the living room of the house, most of Lucien’s wives are having breakfast at the table while Laure is standing beside it, holding a tray of fried eggs that Anne has just cooked.
Everyone looks at Donna with shocked or funny expressions while Eve continues to eat an apple. She, like all their siblings, is already used to Donna’s intense personality.
In fact, Eve also couldn’t help but hear people talking in front of the house due to her very powerful senses. There is no way to hear about the sexual adventures of their little brother being a good topic to talk about at breakfast.
“Ehhh…” Donna is not embarrassed by that scene but by damaging the door of Laure’s house. She messes up her own hair while making a sorry expression. “Sorry about the door; I’ll fix it.”
Laure doesn’t know if she finds that reaction more frightening or funny. She puts the egg tray on the table and quickly approaches Donna, takes her hand, and leads her to sit at the table again. “Don’t worry about that; my husband will fix it later. Now I want you to have a good breakfast.”
Donna’s embarrassed expression instantly disappears as she sits down at the table and smiles at the wide variety of food on it.
“I’m starving.” She comments as she starts to put fruits, cookies, fried eggs, and many other things on her plate.
Laure smiles as she is happy that Lucien’s sisters and wives look comfortable in her humble house. She wouldn’t bother to please Queen Eve that much before, but now they are part of her family, and she wants them to feel the best possible in her home.
“Is there anything you want me to prepare?” Laure asks Donna, and then she looks at the other girls. “If any of you want anything, just let me know.”
Aria starts to get up from the chair. “I can help you with that, Laure.”
Laure quickly approaches Aria and doesn’t let her get up. “Please, just relax now. You and the girls already cooked a great dinner yesterday, so I want to serve you now.”
Then she looks at Anne and Elsie cooking more fried eggs in the kitchen. “Also, I need to teach them some cooking tricks so that they can cook well for Lucien.”
“Little Luci…” Donna says while eating some cookies. “That’s how we call him.”
Laure smiles. “I don’t know if the word little can really be used to describe any characteristic of him.”
Donna gulps while thinking about something. “Oh… well, no matter how big is his d… he will still always be my little brother Luci.”
Eve smiles while Lucien’s wives can’t see him that way. He’s the person who changed their lives, the person they can trust most, the great man who will always protect them, but still, he’s a little brother to his sisters… for now.
The girls continue to have breakfast while Clovis, Anne’s father, brings them various fruit juices and apple wine.
Donna smiles at Eve. “I’m glad you are their Queen. This breakfast is the best I have had in my entire life!”
Lucien and his sisters never really had a good breakfast at the mountain fortress because Michael didn’t want to give them any luxury. They were never intended to be princes and princesses, or even to be of the nobility and only the weapons that would defend the kingdom as soon as the current weapons, their mothers, were no longer that useful.
And well, while Donna destroyed everything on that moon and Sophia slept all the days, no one prepared breakfast for her.
Eve is also enjoying that breakfast. Of course, her servants make great banquets for her meals, and they are delicious, but that breakfast by Laure contains all her good intentions and family love, which makes everything feel better.
“I don’t think they are trying to please me…” Eve comments as she drinks that delicious apple wine.
“So…” Donna makes a thoughtful expression.
Eve looks at Laure in the kitchen, teaching Anne and Elsie cooking things. “This is for the family of her son-in-law.”
Many of Lucien’s wives giggles while agreeing with Eve’s words. But Donna shakes her head with a confused expression. “When did Luci become the center of all attention?”
“I think when he made the soul contract with the most powerful sin.” Eve shrugs.
“WHAT?!?!” As soon as Eve says that, Wrath materializes her body next to the table and hits it, not too hard, of course.
Then Pride materializes her body behind Wrath and pushes her onto the couch. Wrath sits down but continues to look at Eve with an upset expression. “Come one, sis! You can’t let your host say that shit.”
“Damn, Wrath!! You and your host have to control yourself. If you piss off Lucien, it will be bad for all of us.” Pride speaks, shocking Wrath to the soul.
“Piss off the boy?!?!” Wrath continues to look at Pride with a confused expression. “You can not be serious!”
Pride sighs as she sits down on another sofa. “I don’t like my host thinking that another sin, especially Lust, is more powerful than me. But in the current situation, I can’t stop her from thinking that way.”
Wrath shakes her head, denying that, but Pride continues to explain. “Our hosts have a great power advantage over Lucien and Sophia, but look at them now…”
“You know that Sloth has an advantage in the first realms, but that means nothing later, and she always stays behind just like Lust.” Wrath comments.
Pride slight taps on Wrath’s face. “You really don’t use your brain, don’t you? Lucien killed an angel from the Sky Realm seventh layer while still in the Mortal Realm. That while his wives also from the Mortal Realm with Envy and Amelia in the early Earth Realm defeated four angels from the Sky Realm.”
“I know that!” Wrath responds. “But we could do the same!”
“With our current power, Eve and I could kill that seventh layer angel with great difficulty, but I’m not sure if you could handle the others alone. And that already shows the difference between our potentials.” Pride explains.
“Bullshit!” Wrath complains. She doesn’t want to believe that Lust and Sloth are so powerful because that would make her, who has always been the second strongest of them, look really week now.
Laure comes back from the kitchen and makes a worried expression because of that argument. She doesn’t want fights inside her house, but how could she complain to those people? They are real demons and the most powerful people she has ever heard of. Also, Pride and Wrath are really scary.
Eve notices that and looks at Pride and Wrath with a severe expression. “Do you know how Luci will be upset if you guys piss off his mother-in-law?”
Wrath makes an angry expression at Eve, also showing her teeth, but then she feels Pride’s powerful aura start to contain her power. She looks to the side and sees Pride’s eyes shining with white light and realizes that her big sister is really getting upset.
“Fine!” Wrath dematerializes her body, turning a cloud of red dust and returning into Donna’s soul to reflect more about Lucien.
Eve nods to Pride, showing gratitude as the girls continue to have breakfast.
Lucien’s wives would be concerned about those sins causing confusion wherever they go, but they trust Lucien and are sure that they will be ‘tamed’ as Envy was, or at least she makes it look like she was.
Meanwhile, Laure wonders about how Lucien, even looking so young, already has so much influence over all those women and demons.
[My son-in-law is really something…] She thinks as she smiles and brings more food to the girls.
