Chapter 104 - A Dangerous Mess

L.u.s.t told her story in detail about everything she could remember. She talked about the plan Pride came up with and even told them a little about the other sins. L.u.s.t also told them about the mysterious woman who spoke to Pride about the pentagram pact.

Everyone was silent. Half the girls were unsure whether it could all be real, and others were only concerned with Lucien's future.

Mia had a concerned expression on her face, but she was totally confident that Lucien and they would be prepared for any further danger.

She was worried about something else and can't help but think out loud. "So... Do we have six sisters-in-law?"

Lucien could only embarra.s.singly smile, remembering the situation with Sophia while the other girls also have the same worried expression as Mia.

L.u.s.t had a teasing smile on her face, but before she said anything, Lucien sent a mental message telling her not to talk about Sophia yet.

"Yes, you will meet them when we meet again." Lucien got up and went towards L.u.s.t. He hugged her tightly because he was pleased that she trusted him to tell them everything, even things she could have avoided saying.

Rose, who had her eyes wide open, found everything incredible. She quickly stood in front of L.u.s.t while asking in a surprised tone.

"Are you really a demon from a higher world? How is it possible that they got the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose? It should have been protected in the red palace by the first ancestors."

L.u.s.t smiled at Rose as she sincerely answered. "Yes, I'm from the Demonic World, but I don't know how they got the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose."

"Are you from the Vampiric World? Your name is also Rose... Does that mean they named you the most precious treasure of your people?"

Rose can't help but proudly smile. "I was born in this world, but my mother came from the Vampiric World, and she gave me this name, which I love so much."

"I have read many books about the demonic race, and I never expected to meet a demon here in this inferior world."

"I am not just any demon. Don't your books talk about the Seven Great Demons?" L.u.s.t has to be proud as one of the main bases of her race.

Ca.s.sidy still had a lot of doubts because some things didn't make sense, so she questioned L.u.s.t. "If you are so powerful, why do you need Lucien so much? How does your connection to him really work?"

L.u.s.t held Lucien's hand before she answers. "My sisters and I, thousands of years ago, managed to perform a ritual that prevented us from dying."

"But as a side effect, our abilities no longer work on ourselves, so we need the help of others to become stronger."

"I don't remember things well, but everything is recorded in books in our world. Since then, we have been looking for powerful partners to grow together."

"But whenever our hosts die, our core energy goes back to our bodies, which are hidden in a safe place. Then we lose all power and have to start over with a new partner."

L.u.s.t gazed at Lucien with a sad look because she knew it looked like she was using him, but in fact, everything is different this time.

Lucien tightened his hug on her waist and kissed her neck from behind. "We don't need to talk about the past anymore. L.u.s.t is my wife now, and together we will overcome any problems."

Ca.s.sidy nodded to Lucien before speaking respectfully. "Yes, my husband, I will not argue about the past, but I would like to understand more about L.u.s.t now."

"Okay, I have nothing to hide." Hearing L.u.s.t's words, Lucien was grateful for that and hoped that the other sins would also be so honest with his sisters.

Ca.s.sidy then continued the questions, which were also on the minds of Lucien and the others. "How do you become stronger with Lucien? Do you depend entirely on his energy, or are you independent?"

L.u.s.t smiled before answering. "I share all our developments with our tattoos. Our energies are independent, but like you, I can benefit from the demonic energy he creates using the skills he gained from me."

"Just like I said, me and the other Sins' skills don't affect ourselves, so I can only get stronger when my host uses those skills on other women..."

L.u.s.t paused before continuing. "But this time is different. I also feel more powerful when I do it with Lucien... He can also give our tattoo to other women."

"I don't understand what's going on, but I know this is very good for all of us. I just want to be with Lucien, together as partners and family. I have no bad intentions either with him or with you, his wives."

Lucien had an idea. "Could these changes be due to b.l.o.o.d.y Rose? We need more information about this... Rose, your mother may know more about this, since she is from the Vampiric World."

Although L.u.s.t has a feeling that she and Lucien were connected by fate in ways that no one could understand, she also knew that everything could be the effect of the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose.

"Knowing more about the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose will certainly be good. We also must be well prepared for the pentagram pact."

Since L.u.s.t told the story about the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose and the pentagram pact, Lucien was holding back his anger because he was focused on L.u.s.t.

He knew that nothing could be done now, but he could not ignore the fact that his father used him and his sisters as disposable weapons. Even though he knew the risks, his father didn't say anything to them.

Lucien had to stand firmly for L.u.s.t and his women. But inside, he was burning in anger, not only at Michael, the Evil King, but also at Pride for treating him and his sisters as side effects in her plans.

But also, along with his anger, Lucien was fond of Sloth. From L.u.s.t's story, he knew Sloth seemed to really care about them, making Lucien happy that she is with his sweet Sophia.

Of course, all Lucien could do now is to move on. But one day, he would take revenge on his father, Pride, and even the mysterious woman who gave Pride ideas about his sisters.

He understood that they needed power. He, more than anyone, wished for power because of his own selfish desire to rescue his mother. But it was still unforgivable that they harmed his sisters.

Lucien focused his mind on the present and looked at his women. Everyone was looking at him lovingly, and even though he didn't want to lose any of them, he needed to be sure that everyone understood what they were getting into.

"Do you understand now? My life is like this, complicated and full of dangers... Now that you know everything, it's time to stay or leave."

As soon as Lucien talked about leaving, some girls wanted to answer, but he raised his hand so as not to be interrupted and continued to say.

"If you are in this room and have heard the whole story, it means that I consider you my lover, my family, or at least friends who will probably become part of my family soon..."

"Know that you can always count on my help, but I will not blame you for not wanting to get involved in this mess. Sta-"

Lucien was interrupted when Mia hugged him from behind. "Since L.u.s.t started talking, everyone understood what a mess we were in. But look. n.o.body wants to leave... Even if someone wants to leave, you will always have my mother and me by your side."

*Roar*

*Meow*

Oya approached Lucien, and lovingly rubbed her head on his leg. Little Ko used her small claws to climb Lucien's clothes and stood on his shoulder while rubbing her head over his face.

"You have risked your life for us many times. Why would we abandon you so easily?" Marie spoke with a smile on her face and also hugged Lucien.

Then Ca.s.sidy, Aria, Ella, and Anne also gave their support to Lucien and confirmed that they stood by him as they joined in the big collective hug.

Ghilanna and Lena would not be left out, and they joined the girls to hug Lucien too. Only Angela and Jeanne were looking at everyone together as one big family, and they couldn't help but want to join.

Angela and Jeanne knew that Lucien wouldn't force them on anything, but they also knew that they weren't in love with him or anything like that. Still, nothing prevented them from joining the collective hug.

So for almost ten minutes, all the women in the room hugged Lucien while he hugged L.u.s.t. Both were not sure how to react to these loving feelings, but they knew it was very good and enjoyed it to the fullest.

Lucien was very pleased that none of his women wanted to leave him even though they knew the mess that was his life.

Although Astrid was sleeping now to be able to absorb the ma.s.sive amount of demonic energy, Lucien was sure she wouldn't want to abandon him either when he told her the whole story.

While his women got even closer to him after learning the whole truth, other women, who were not in a romantic relations.h.i.+p with Lucien, would open their hearts to him more easily after knowing more about him.

Although Lucien didn't want to talk about L.u.s.t's past, he wanted to know more about what the other sins were like now, and how they would influence his sisters.

He also remembered how his father gave him and his sisters several treasures and rare medicines to improve their power. The b.l.o.o.d.y Rose was probably among the herbs.

Although Lucien was never able to awaken abilities or show any talent, his sisters became more and more powerful, and Lucien understood that it was the effect of the b.l.o.o.d.y Rose.

Still, the mystery remained. Why did it not affect him? Lucien really wanted to meet Rose's mother, who could know more about it, since she is a vampire who comes from the vampire's homeworld.

But now was not the time to think about things that were out of his control. Lucien now had to focus on becoming stronger and making his women stronger.

If before he was confident on his path with L.u.s.t, now he is more than sure that she is his destiny. Together with L.u.s.t and his beautiful wives, no one would hurt his loved ones.

*Grr*

Although the collective hug was very pleasant, Lucien's stomach showed some discontent, making the girls laugh, and Lucien be embarra.s.sed.

"Girls, we'll have time for affection later. Now I'm a little hungry..." After the intense love session with Ca.s.sidy, Mia, and Astrid, Lucien needed actual food, not just the ma.s.sive amount of love juices he drank.

Lucien released L.u.s.t as the girls stopped hugging and went towards the table. But there were still two girls who did not release Lucien and little Ko on his shoulder.

Rose hugged his waist tightly on one side while Mia didn't let go on the other side. Both were wanting to remain embraced with Lucien.

*Grr* *Grr*

Lucien's stomach growled again, making everyone continue to laugh, but the two spoiled girls still were hugging Lucien.

*Meow*

Since Lucien was not upset with the girls, Oya did not roar, but little Ko tried to show her discontent with their selfish att.i.tude. Of course, she didn't want to leave Lucien's shoulder as that wouldn't prevent him from eating.

"Let's go, girls, I need some food." Lucien tried to walk, but it was difficult with the girls hugging his waist tightly.

Mia stopped hugging his waist and hugged his arm while she lovingly spoke. "Come on, my husband, let's sat beside each other to have lunch."

Before Rose said anything, Lucien spoke. "The three of us can sit together, no problem. After all, I have two sides."

Then the three sat side by side at the table while other girls brought their special meals to Lucien. Of course, some girls were jealous of Rose and Mia, but in the end, there would be enough Lucien for everyone.

L.u.s.t could only keep her physical body close to Lucien. But in that short s.p.a.ce, she could materialize where she wanted as a kind of teleportation.

She did not need to eat as her body was made of demonic energy, but that didn't prevent her from teleporting to Lucien's lap. "Okay, so I'll sit here."

Lucien didn't want to deny L.u.s.t anything. Not only did he love her, but she had also just told him all her secrets, but his women made it clear that they were dissatisfied with the demoness's actions.

"L.U.S.T!!!"
