Chapter 363: Daughter

About ten minutes ago.

Lucien flies quickly across the sky above the great forest as he heads towards where the angels landed.

"Hmm..." Then he slows down when he feels something he has never felt before.

"What is it?" l.u.s.t feels that Lucien is very confused and quickly becomes concerned.

Lucien looks ahead to the horizon but sees nothing strange in the three-mile radius. Of course, he can't see anything clearly on the ground due to the trees of the forest.

"I feel... like a part of me is ahead... away from my body... I can't explain." He points forward while l.u.s.t materializes her body beside him.

l.u.s.t makes a thoughtful expression as she tries to expand her sense of detection. "Is that connection you feel like the one you have with your soul weapons or maybe your wives?"

Lucien tries to describe what he is feeling again. "No, it's not like my soul weapons or the tattoo... it's something different... like a third arm has grown in me, but it's some miles ahead, waiting for me to get it back."

l.u.s.t a.n.a.lyzes Lucien's body several times as she expands her senses, but everything seems normal. "There are only a few beasts in the forest, nothing unusual. Let's move on."

"OK." Lucien nods, and they continue to fly, but now with even more caution.

Lucien feels a familiar sensation grow inside his heart more and more as they fly forward. That feeling is definitely not bad, but it's unknown and makes him uncomfortable and very curious, of course.

After flying another minute, l.u.s.t laughs. "Hahaha... it's Wrath! I feel her aura seven or eight miles ahead. She's fighting... probably against the angels."

"Then we must help them." Lucien uses even more demonic energy to boost his speed as he is concerned about his sister's safety.

l.u.s.t quickly tries to calm him down. "Wrath is... hot head. But she is not stupid. If she is fighting, it is because she knows that she can win that fight. Also, she must not be alone."

Lucien realizes that he didn't ask l.u.s.t about his other sister, so he does it now. "Who's with Wrath?"

"You know..." l.u.s.t speaks in a confident tone.

Lucien thinks about his sister, and the answer comes quickly to his mind. "Donna... she is a hot head person, she likes to destroy everything, and... she has always had problems dealing with anger."

l.u.s.t feels Lucien get angry as he thinks about the reasons that make Donna angry as well as all his sister, that is, the fact that their father treats their family like weapons.

"I'm sorry..." l.u.s.t speaks in a sorry tone. "I know you all suffered and are angry at your father. But Donna was chosen quickly by Wrath shortly after Pride chose Eve. I think they just match."

Lucien smiles. "I think things had to be this way. We fit perfectly, and... I wouldn't be here if I weren't with you."

"No." l.u.s.t denies that. "I know you would be fine with another sin as well. At first, you were a naive and weak boy, but you quickly became a strong and confident man. I... I got scared and panicked when it got bad, but you... you keep calm and defeated an enemy impossible to defeat."

She speaks in a loving tone. "It's been a long time since you've been taking care of me and not the contrary."

"We take care of each other; this is our partners.h.i.+p, our family way. I wouldn't do anything without you, my love." He quickly responds.

l.u.s.t feels so good about any word from Lucien. He always manages to make her love him even beyond any possible limit.

She is silent for a few seconds while they continue to fly, but then she speaks again in a slightly hesitant tone. "I didn't want to talk about it now, but..."

"It's alright, just say what is in your mind." He responds.

l.u.s.t quickly explains. "That the mysterious woman said in your dream... if my sisters and I really were brainwashed and tried to unite our energies before but failed, it was because we tried the wrong way."

"I think we never tried to use my energy. I've always been underestimated because my energy is for the benefit of many and not just mine... In fact, I think that's why our energy is perfect for mixing others together."

"Makes sense." Lucien thinks about it.

She continues. "You saw it; the mix of energies with three energies boosted Elsie much better than the mix with only two energies. Also, that was what allowed you to make the strongest attack on that angel."

"I know that, and we already agreed to try to unite the energies, but why are you talking about it now?" Lucien asks, even though he has an idea of what l.u.s.t wants to mean.

"Donna is ahead..." l.u.s.t pauses before quickly continuing. "I know you don't want to seduce your sisters, but... I just fear that we will be able to win the next battle against a much more powerful enemy. I want our family to be strong so that nothing bad happens to us."

Lucien understands and agrees with l.u.s.t's thoughts. "I also don't want anything bad to happen to our family. But Donna... she's a lot like Eve. She sees me as a little brother that she has to protect. Even if I want to seduce her, it won't be easy. The situation is not simple even with Amelia, and she really wants it."

"Maybe..." l.u.s.t thinks. "The best thing is for us to all become stronger together, but you can start by seducing just Wrath; we mix the energies, and then we see what to do next."

"I don't think it will be that easy to seduce an ancient demon, the sin of wrath, but well, I will do whatever is best for our family, including to her, of course." He explains.

l.u.s.t is about to respond, but then she feels another demonic energy nearby. That energy is less intense and more discreet, or rather, it is calm, unlike Wrath's furious energy.

"She's here..." l.u.s.t says in an excited tone.

After realizing how much she loves Lucien, l.u.s.t began to be very jealous of the other women in his heart, especially those who have a deeper connection with him.

But Sophia is different. In the short time that they were together, l.u.s.t saw that Sophia is a very nice and caring person, and she loves Lucien unconditionally.

l.u.s.t knows that Sophia will do anything for Lucien, and even if it is best for him to have all the women in the universe, she will support him.

But also because of that, l.u.s.t knows that Sophia will always have Lucien's special affection. That is, with Sophia at his side, he will become much stronger quickly, but she will never try to push him away from his other wives or have more time with him just for her.

And of course, Sophia is the key for them to find out if Lucien really can have children as she has the most incredible life affinity of their family and could feel the child even through the barrier that protects royal dragon babies.

Lucien doesn't even need to ask who l.u.s.t is talking about as he also starts to feel Sophia by their connection. In fact, he could have felt her from a greater distance, but only if he had tried it.

"I said I would find her... but it looks like she found me first," Lucien speaks in a regretful tone. He wanted to be with Sophia much early but stopped to help his other wives.

"If you get to her now, I think it can be considered as both meeting each other." l.u.s.t speaks.

"Maybe." Lucien smiles as he tries to fly even faster, cutting through the air while his body glows with purple and gray energies.

They fly for a few more seconds before l.u.s.t again feels someone different ahead. "Wait!"

She quickly explains. "I feel two other powerful auras. They are on the ground... an angel and a vampire."

"Rose's mother?" Lucien thinks out loud.

"Maybe." l.u.s.t replies.

Lucien keeps flying as fast as possible and soon hears the fight between Daisy and the tracker. He flies towards the ground, and when he is close to reaching out to them, he sees the tracker destroying Daisy's barriers.

l.u.s.t explains to Lucien about the tracker's power level and the fact that she is in a boosted state due to having consumed a power pill. These pills generally have side effects that decrease the user's defenses and significantly increase strength and speed.

Also, the person when uses those pills get is in a state of fury and loses focus. So the tracker didn't even notice Lucien coming behind her quickly, and she had no defense against his soul weapons charged with demonic energy.

To avoid making the same mistake as when Lucien defeated Neoc, and he exploded, he covers his body with an extra layer of demonic energy to defend him from the explosion of the tracker's body.

Still, the blood and body parts of the tracker cover Lucien's body, over the energy barrier. He wipes the blood on his face while undoing the barrier, getting rid of that dirt.

Then he notices the frightened mature vampire looking at him with a curious expression.

[She really looks like Rose...] Lucien does not doubt that she is Rose's mother because, although Daisy has red eyes and white hair, her face and body are very similar to his lover's. Also, Rose told him about her parents' features.

Lucien wondered many times about what it would be like to meet Rose's parents because of her concerns and the fact that Daisy is an alchemist. He wanted to get along with them, or rather, to have as good a relations.h.i.+p as he has with Anne's parents.

But he never expected that on the first meeting with Daisy, he would feel so h.o.r.n.y.

'd.a.m.n!! Why does she smell so good?!' Lucien quickly asks l.u.s.t as he approaches Daisy. He already loves the smell of Rose, but Daisy's natural scent is several times better and extremely pleasurable.

l.u.s.t giggles in Lucien's mind. 'Alchemists know how to make perfumes that alter the natural smell of their bodies, for the better, of course. Also, vampires with pure blood smell very good, especially mature female ones...'

Lucien tries to remember Rose's concern about her parents' marriage while trying not to succ.u.mb to the desire to close smell and kiss Daisy's beautiful and delicate pale neck.

He extends his hand to her. "You look a lot like her... my beloved Rose."

Daisy is perplexed about everything that is happening. But when Lucien speaks the name of her beloved daughter, angels, demons, and anything else around her loses its meaning as she focuses entirely on the relations.h.i.+p of the mysterious young man with Rose.

"What's your relations.h.i.+p with my daughter?!" She ignores Lucien's hand and quickly stands up on her own.

Lucien continues to smile amiably at Daisy as he explains. "She is my wife."

Daisy quickly raises her hand towards Lucien while a large stone spear forms around her arm with a sharp point, aiming at his neck.

"My Rose is too young to get married," Daisy speaks while looking Lucien in the eye with a curious expression.

l.u.s.t does not like to see Lucien being threatened, but she knows that he is avoiding scaring Daisy even though he can take her down in less than a second.

In fact, she can see Daisy's real situation and quickly reports to him mentally. 'She is badly hurt. She almost died in combat and was unable to get rid of these side effects... she is an alchemist but may not have the resources or the ability to heal such deep wounds.'

'Let me guess, my life mana, along with our demonic energies, can heal her, right?' Lucien asks while feeling that things are not going to end well that way. He doesn't want to hurt Rose's feelings, but healing her mother must be more important than her father's pride.

'Your special milk can heal everything.' l.u.s.t responds with a confident tone.

Lucien sighs while speaking to Daisy. "You will have to talk to your daughter about this..."

Daisy gets even more confused as she watches the purple world portal open behind Lucien.

Rose runs out of the portal, followed by Lucien's other wives. She quickly hugs Daisy. "Mom!!!"

Lucien smiles at his wives and flaps his wings hard, flying towards his sisters. He can hear the fight and knows they are doing well, but he still wants to help them as soon as possible.

Some of Lucien's wives follow him and others stay with Daisy and Rose as he asked because they are in combat, and it is better to be careful.

Daisy keeps kissing Rose's head while hugging her, thrilled with the reunion but still very curious about Lucien, the strange portal, and especially his relations.h.i.+p with her daughter.

[Son-in-law? No... that would be unbearable.] She thinks while she can't get Lucien's handsome face out of her mind.
