Lust Knight

"My Lady, I don't want to disturb such an illustrious person like you... But..." The mercenaries inside the earth dome were passing out from tension when the group leader respectfully tried to beg.

Rose received new orders from Lucien and reported to Astrid. "He told us to release the mercenaries and take the four spies back to the city."

"Isn't it better to kill them to avoid future problems?" Maggie was an assassin and can't help wanting to "clean up" the crime scene.

"Are you going against husband's orders? It is also good for me. More reward..." Rose, like the other girls, wanted more "Lucien," so she didn't care if Maggie was punished for not following Lucien's orders.

"Stop arguing, or I'll make sure you both don't have any rewards or "punishment"." Of course, Astrid wanted the reward, but she wanted much more a certain kind of "punishment" that only Lucien could give her.

Astrid had full confidence in Lucien, and if he wanted to let the mercenary group live, there was no reason to kill them. Of course, she will give them a warning...

She told Rose to break the earth dome while she faced the mercenary leader from the shadows. She, Maggie, and Rose had excellent night vision, but the group couldn't see much in the dark night.

The mercenary leader was really sad after those few minutes of a terrible nightmare. Seeing his comrades dying from their own attacks inside the dome while others died brutally trying to escape had a profound impact on the minds of all the ten surviving mercenaries and four spies.

When he saw the dome breaking and a hooded figure a few meters away, he knelt, thrilled. "My Lady, I don't know how to thank yo-"

"What happened here?" Astrid did not wait for the mercenary leader to finish speaking when she asked severely.

The mercenary leader was a smart man and knew this was his chance to live. "Nothing has happened, my Lady. We left Bluewind, had a safe and comfortable journey to our destination."

Astrid liked the man's answer, but it could still be improved. "You forgot a detail."

"Please, my Lady, forgive my stupid mistake, and please remind me of the crucial detail that this humble man forgot." The man spoke with a calm tone as he tried his best to be respectful.

The mercenaries were happy that they followed such a wise leader. They would tell stories of how a man's lack of bravery saved half his group when they faced terrible enemies that can destroy entire armies. That leader would be known as "the humble legend" for decades after he died.

Astrid looked at one of the spies in the middle of the group as she spoke words that made the four almost pee in fear. "You left the city with four additional followers who decided to return to Bluewind after a few miles away from the gate. Of course, everyone was safe and healthy..."

"Of course, my Lady. Those kind men agreed to return to the city, and we didn't question them." The mercenary leader knew how to improvise.

It was pretty obvious what happened there, but the four spies were unable to move. They were terrified and didn't know what to do.

Astrid was almost moving when Rose spoke in her soft and almost mesmerizing voice. "They returned to the city safely and healthy... It is not a horror story..."

'Safely and healthy my ass! We are clearly screwed!!' Was it a coincidence that three of them had the same thought? Only one was very charmed by Rose's pleasant voice, which forgot to curse mentally.

"Good, we reached an agreement. Don't forget to bury the bodies. I wish you a safe journey." Astrid said goodbye to the mercenary group. The mercenaries began carrying the dead men's bodies while the spies were still unable to move in fear.

"Spies in front or you will be dead spies..." Her words were enough for the spies to start walking obediently towards the city while Maggie and Rose made a promise not to offend Astrid... Never.

---------------------

"Your spies are returning safely," Lucien told to Ron, who was relieved to learn that his spies were not roasted to death.

"And the mercenaries?" Angela couldn't help but ask, keeping her sarcastic tone.

"Half died; I'm sorry." Lucien had no way of knowing that the King's spies were not loyal to the King.

Ron knew that the situation could be avoided if Angela went to Lucien, as he suggested in the letter... But now at least they had more chances, even if costed some mercenary lives...

"It wasn't your fault, Lucien. How do we proceed?"

Lucien looked at Angela. She seemed as stubborn as Marie... He wondered what it would be like when she was docile and obedient in his arms... "We will continue the discussion in the castle."

He didn't wait for an answer and started running towards the castle. Lucien did not use even half his speed, allowing Ron and Angela to follow him, just as stealthily they came.

------------------

"Where is she?" Maria was already checking the fourth bedroom while wondering where her mother was.

She knew that Angela did not get along with her father and sometimes used other rooms in the castle to avoid him. She started looking in these different rooms after she didn't find her in the big room with the magic barrier.

Marie sat in a chair to rest for a minute before looking for her mother again. She couldn't help but pass her finger on her lips and then smell it while remembering the wonderful kiss that Lucien gave her...

"Lucien..."

"Marie?"

"Lucien?!?!" Marie was startled enough to fall off the chair when she thought of Lucien and heard his voice in her mind.

"It's mental communication…A benefit from our tattoo." Lucien only needed to remember Marie, as all the girls already knew some of the benefits of drinking too much "special milk."

Lucien explained to Marie where to go to find him and the rest of the group. She was surprised that the place Lucien described was not the guest rooms but her mother's main bedroom...

She ran over there immediately with strange thoughts about her mother and Lucien...

The fifth floor of the castle was an area controlled entirely by Ron's men as the King trusted his "most loyal servant." Marie had no problem entering the front door as Angela already expected her.

"?!?!?!?" Marie was confused by the scene she saw when she entered her mother's room. Angela's room was divided into two sections. One side is where her big bed was, and the other where it was an atelier with a big table and sofas.

At the large table with more than ten chairs, there were some of Lucien's women talking to her Mother. Cassidy and Angela were acting with all their Queen majesty...

Oya and Ko were lying on a fluffy rug looking jealously at Rose, who was lying on Lucien's lap on a sofa while he patted her on the head...

Marie thought many things, but the thought that being in Rose's place would be wonderful began to cloud her other thoughts. Her rational mind was already very shaken by Lucien...

"My daughter, come here and hug your old mother," Angela called Marie excitedly when she saw her enter the studio, but she did not fail to notice the jealous look towards the woman on Lucien's lap. Angela felt a pain in her heart when she thought that her daughter was not getting enough affection from Lucien.

Marie stopped thinking about Lucien and ran into her beloved mother's arms. Lucien couldn't help looking at the mother-daughter blue-haired beautiful pair...

Angela was a stunning woman. Her sexy body was an excellent combination of big breasts and a hot ass. She had fair skin like Marie, and her blue hair was very long with a special charm, which Lucien loved.

As Angela hugged Marie, she saw Lucien smiling at her. He made it very clear that he was looking at her... At those beautiful big blue eyes and that little pink cute mouth...

Rose felt Lucien's reaction on her head when he started imagining Marie and Angela naked in his arms...

"Who do you like more, daughter or mother?" Lust had already noticed Lucien's preferences and asked that question just to tease him as she already knew the answer.

"Can't I love them both?" Lucien would not say what body he found sexier as he would not be unfair to his women because he loved them all... But he couldn't deny that the desire for Angela was influential...

Lust couldn't agree more with him. Angela, like Marie, has excellent skills and a high ice affinity, which would clearly be useful for Lucien even if he couldn't use magic yet.

While Lucien imagined Angela and Marie with him... They joined Cassidy and the other women to plan their next moves.

Angela told her story, and everyone agreed that they would be allies against the King. Angela would take over as the only ruler, supporting Lucien and Cassidy to retake Portgreen.

Of course, they would need to work in the shadows for a long time until they had power and influence in other Kingdoms to fight the Mercenaries and the Guild.

They started planning how to get the King out of power by taking his influence and putting the people against him... In the middle of the conversation, Marie remembered someone she wasn't seeing and asked her mom.

"Where is Lena? I bet she's at some noble idiot party."

Angela didn't forget about her eldest daughter for a second. She was planning against Julius to take over the Kingdom and protect her daughters...

She looked at Marie with a worried and sad look, which Lucien did not fail to notice.

"You know that your father always tried an alliance with the Nunid Kingdom. Prince Duane always required you in exchange for the alliance. When you went to Portgreen, the bandit's attacks increased, and he sent Lena to try to ally with Duane."

"You have got to be kidding! That damned Prince is crazy. I don't understand how dad ever tried to convince me to marry him. Lena won't be safe with him!" Marie hated Duane more than anything, and she feared for her sister's safety even though they didn't get along.

Angela knew it was dangerous to let Lena go, but she was unable to stop her daughter, who was just as stubborn as her and Marie.

"I didn't want to let her go, but you know how stubborn your sister is. Your father convinced her that it was the only way to save the Kingdom, so she went to the Nunid Kingdom a few days after you left for Portgreen."

Lucien had already thought about it the first time he heard from Angela about Lena. He calmly spoke as he continued to pat the beautiful vampire on the head. "Isn't it simple? We just need to bring her back."

Angela wanted it to be that simple... "You do not understand. The Nunid family has always hated our Olsen family, and after Julius offered Lena, Prince Duane promised an alliance after they were married. He even sent me the invitation to the wedding, which will be in eight days."

Lucien still saw no problems while making his plans clear. "Don't we just need to kill him? A dead person cannot marry or harm others."

Angela didn't understand how Lucien could talk about killing the Prince of a Kingdom that easily. "Even if you have the power to kill him, what about Julius? They would be allies after the wedding, so Julius would not let anyone get in the way of his plans so easily."

Where others saw problems, Lucien only saw cadavers to fill tombs. Before he could make his suggestion, he heard something in the castle that caught his attention.

Lucien looked at the hooded man who was quiet in the corner of the room. "Ron, do you have a niece named Kara, which is a maid?"

Ron was waiting to follow any orders from Angela when he heard Lucien talk about his niece and was worried. "Yes, why do you ask?"

Lucien stood up, making Rose make a face, while speaking in a severe tone. "I have to kill that bastard now... Trust me."
