Chapter 359: When things are simple
Of course, Dawn wants to be with Lucien as his wife. She wants to really belong to his family and receive his love. And precisely for that reason, she was so concerned about never being able to be like his other girls; she feared she would not be strong enough to fight alongside Lucien and Amelia.
She has not yet recovered from discovering that all her life was a lie. Dawn still blames herself for being so naive, or rather stupid.
But whenever she feels terrible and her self-esteem seems to disappear completely, she receives a smile or hugs from Lucien, and everything seems to be fine. He can easily make her feel good and confident again.
Now, more than ever, he is making her feel good not only as a person but as a woman, too. Her feminine desires that awoken when she met him are finally being satisfied.
Dawn hugs Lucien even more tightly as they kiss. So she speaks in his mind. 'I was so worried that it wouldn't happen... I was afraid that you wouldn't want me...'
'I'm sorry for making you wait. I just wanted to give you some s.p.a.ce and time, but in fact, you were already my since when you accepted my tattoo. I told you that our connection would be forever.' He responds as his hands run on her waist and back.
Dawn finally manages to stop crying while smiling. 'Having you and Amelia supporting me was the reason I didn't break, but... I'm a greedy and selfish woman that couldn't help but want more from you...'
Lucien stops the tongue kiss and kisses her lips quickly while smiling. "I can give you everything you want. In fact, I want to start making you stronger right now..."
Dawn blushes while her most private part gets very excited. But Lucien makes a sorry expression. "Yet, now we have to deal with the other angels."
She nods while trying to take a step back, but Lucien takes her hand. "You have Amelia's energy, and now I am giving you as much of my energy as I can. You will fight by my side, and you will fear nothing."
"Mm." Dawn nods to Lucien while she holds his hand tight.
Then she looks at Amelia and Lucien's other wives. Everyone is smiling at her with happy expressions, which makes her even happier, mainly due to having Amelia's approval.
Ghalenna can't help but feels a little jealous of Dawn. After that kiss, she knows that she will never be the same, but she is still a very proud woman and doesn't think she could beg for Lucien's affection.
Lucien looks at the smashed flowers on the ground with a sorry expression as he speaks to his wives. "Did you have any luck with the flowers?"
Angela nods. "Yes, I mean, I think most of us chose a flower before they arrived."
"d.a.m.n angels!!" Amelia complains. "Dawn and I still don't have our flowers."
Dawn can't help but smile even though the situation is not exactly good. Before, she was looking at the flowers while wondering if she should get one, but now she is sure that Lucien wants her as his wife, so she is thrilled and willing to run through all the forests of this world to find the best possible flower for her lover.
But Envy gives Amelia an upset expression. "I didn't get my flower either!!"
Amelia shows her tongue to Envy as a provocation. Lucien and the other girls can only laugh at their strange relations.h.i.+p. It doesn't even look like they were fighting side by side like good sisters a few minutes ago.
Astrid takes a feather from the angel wing that little Ko is biting. "They are not rare birds, but these feathers have a very important meaning for us."
Ca.s.sidy nods. "Yes, that battle was quicker but tough. Our enemies were stronger than us, but together we succeeded."
"Thanks to Hubby's love, we are so f.u.c.king strong. We can win any challenge together!" Olivia smiles at Lucien.
l.u.s.t kicks Lord Antonius's body. "There has never been anything like this before. Our hosts are powerful, but they never ignored the difference between two power realms that way, let alone the fact that the girls are not our hosts."
Envy smiles. "If we already have this power now, imagine when we reach the Earth Realm... we will be able to beat Immortal Realm people. So... what when reach the Immortal Realm?"
Before l.u.s.t can say anything, Envy starts to laugh. "d.a.m.n!! Why try to reach the Cosmic Realm if we will have the power of a Primordial before that?"
"Not just one... but many..." Envy looks at Amelia and Lucien's other wives.
"Go easy, Envy." l.u.s.t speaks. "Our journey is just beginning.
"No way!" Envy shakes her head. "We are already so f.u.c.king powerful. Our sisters will not believe it... I just wanna see Pride's reaction when she finds out what we did."
Lucien can't help thinking about Pride and Eve, of course. "We have to go. They must also have seen the lights in the sky and be coming back. Also, the angels can go after Eve to find June."
l.u.s.t begins to wipe the blood off Lucien's face and chest. "Our last battle was really tough. Maybe we should get some rest."
He looks at his wives. "Can we do it right now? Everyone is fine, right?"
All the girls nod. But Ca.s.sidy makes a thoughtful expression. "What if they are stronger than these angels? We need a plan first."
"They are not," Lucien responds and quickly explains his thoughts. "I saw thirteen lights, but only five of them came here, and one of them even moved away from the others. I'm pretty sure the division was based on general power and not numbers."
Then Lucien looks at Lord Antonius' head. "Also, he was the strongest of those four, and I saw him make a dispair expression when he saw that female angel's head. I think she is the leader of the thirteen, and he never thought she would fall. So they came in five because they trusted that close to their leader, they would have the same general power as the other eight."
"Yes, it makes sense." Envy nods.
l.u.s.t also agrees. "So they must be in the early Sky Realm as not even angels would waste instant teleport gems on warriors below the Sky Realm."
"Also, they must have sent a lot of troops from Earth and Mortal Realms like that group from before. Lucien is right; we have to kill them now before their troops come." Envy speaks.
"Hopefully, we'll have Eve's help. The lights fell on the spot where we met before, so she must be coming back right now." Lucien speaks.
"But she must be on the other side of the continent now." Amelia comments.
l.u.s.t responds. "She may have reached the Sky Realm by now, so crossing the continent at high speed can be done in an hour."
Lucien proudly smiles. "Big sis... she's so f.u.c.king amazing, so I bet she's already in the Sky Realm."
Amelia makes a jealous expression as she compares herself to Eve and Donna, the strongest ones of their sisters.
He realizes that and approaches her to embrace her. "Don't do that, sis. Don't worry about layers and realms. You saw how your power can't be normally cla.s.sified as it is with normal people."
"I know..." Amelia speaks in a low tone.
He pats her head and talks to her mentally. 'Also, soon you will start to get stronger even faster... you know...'
She blushes at the thought of doing 'such' things with Lucien, but she has no desire to back down. She has waited too long to get what she really wants and will not wait anymore.
[As soon as those d.a.m.ned angels are dead, I will do it with him!! I have to do it before Sophia comes back and steals all of his affection...] Amelia thinks as she hugs Lucien.
"Are we taking the troops?" Neola asks.
Lucien looks at l.u.s.t. "How long until the troops of the angels arrive?"
l.u.s.t makes a thoughtful expression. "These instant teleport gems can take people from one world to another in a few hours or even minutes depending on the distance, so I think they found out about the previous group fails one or two hours ago..."
"High-quality portals with abundant resources for many people can take two, three, or even four days depending on several factors." Envy explains.
Lucien mods. "Okay, so we have at least two days... we are not going to move the troops now as that would slow us down, so we are going to kill these eight angels and then prepare for the arrival of the larger group."
The girls again nod in agreement with Lucien's plan, then he opens the Purple world portal. "That way, I can fly ahead and get there faster."
They prefer to fly alongside Lucien but in that situation, letting him fly alone will be faster, so the girls quickly start to enter the portal, but it creates a problem because Ghalenna does not have Lucien's tattoo.
Ghilanna and Ghalenna hold hands as they look at Lucien with inquisitive expressions.
"I could carry you, but that would also slow us down..." Lucien says to Ghalenna with a sorry expression.
Ghalenna looks at her daughter with a sad expression as she slowly lets go of her hand. "We'll meet again soon, right? It's alright; I can go back to the fox-clan and wait..."
But Ghilanna holds her mother's hand tightly. "I... I was still upset with you before but during the fight... I was so worried when I saw you hurt on the ground... I don't want you to be away from me. I don't want you to stay away from us!"
Ghalenna smiles as she is thrilled that Ghilanna doesn't want to push her away anymore. She still regrets being a bad mother, but she can be at peace now by knowing that Ghilanna has forgiven her.
"I can't go with you..." Ghalenna speaks in a sad tone. "My place is here, serving my Queen and protecting my people."
Lucien steps forward. "Eve will come with me because our family will always be together. Also, we can keep portals as bridges between our worlds. I will have to come back here regularly to check if everything is fine, so you can be visiting your people from time to time."
Ghalenna makes a thoughtful expression as her body begs her to follow Lucien. "But... I can't. You said it yourself, I'm a selfish woman, and my selfishness is to be with..."
She thinks about her people, but for a moment, things don't look the same as before. Ghalenna does not think that her people need her but that they are in order now. There are no more abusive men in the Alliance, and the Light Empire is finished. Also, Portgreen is in order too and is their allies. The continent in peace.
Also, when Ghalenna imagines herself as a leader and defender that her people can trust, she feels that something is missing. Then she looks at Ghilanna and imagines her traveling between worlds with Lucien and their family…
Ghalenna realizes that she envies her daughter for having that opportunity and envies Lucien for having Ghilanna's company.
She realizes that she wants to be with her daughter as much as with Lucien and Eve. In the few days that she was with them, everything was so intense and incredible... She wants power like Lucien's wives and his love... she wants to have something to fight for, not the happiness of others, but her own.
Ghalenna holds Ghilanna's hand again while looking at Lucien with a determined expression. "Give it to me, please..."
She quickly lifts her blouse, revealing her low belly area. "I want the tattoo... I want to go with you."
"You know there is no going back, right? After I give you the tattoo, we will be profoundly connected forever, and I will not let you run away." Lucien explains.
Ghalenna giggles. "I'll not want to run away, so we won't have that problem..."
Then she makes a loving expression. "I want to be with my daughter from now on. I also want to be with my Queen, and... with you. Being your wife is not a price for that but the biggest reward."
"Well said!" Lucien smiles and moves his hand toward Ghalenna belly.
