Chapter 293 - Lively Reunion
While Lucien"s wives are already used to his personality, Amelia and Eve can"t help but roll their eyes.
Both sisters have different thoughts from Lucien"s wives, who met him a short time ago and accepted things his way.
Amelia and Eve have been with Lucien since their childhoods. They share many bonds and already have a complex relations.h.i.+p.
In Amelia"s case, she regrets not being as close to Lucien as she wanted but still thinks that as his sister, she deserves more of his affection and now wants to fight for it.
Eve also thinks that as siblings, he, their other sister, and she should always stay together. However, she is not just one of his sisters, but the big sis that raised him since his mother could no longer do that.
Although they all had their limitations because they were isolated from the world by Michael to become weapons, Eve taught Lucien everything he needed to grow a healthy young man.
She taught him to fight to avenge his mother, respect and love his sisters.
And now, after he became a handsome, strong man, Eve can"t help but think that it is unfair that great demons and random women come and steal all the attention from him.
Not that Amelia and Eve are very jealous and possessive by nature, but after so many years of being influenced by the b.l.o.o.d.y rose, their feelings are boosted as well as their power.
That is, all the love, jealousy, and possessive feelings they have for Lucien are several times stronger than they should normally be.
While Amelia, ironically, is very jealous of Envy, Eve looks at L.u.s.t with a hostile expression.
Seeing that Pride and Lucien stop attacking each other, Eve ignores the troops and focuses her energies on her legs, preparing for an incredible jump.
*Boom*
*Whooosh*
By using so much strength to jump, Eve creates an explosion of force below her feet as she propels herself through the air at incredible speed, quickly reaching hundreds of meters up in the sky.
She lands on Angela"s floating platform, behind Lucien, and speaks in an authoritative tone. "Lucien! What are you doing!?"
[d.a.m.n!] Lucien feels a chill run through his body like he hasn"t had in a long time.
By the tone of Eve and the fact that she called him by his normal name and not something like "little brother" or "Luci" is a clear indication that she is upset with him. And well, he can imagine why.
"Big sis..." Lucien quickly removes his hand from L.u.s.t and Envy"s waists while speaking in an obedient tone, surprising his wives, who are used to the arrogant and teasing Lucien.
Eve puts both hands on her waist and while keeping a frown. "You consider me your big sis, but when we meet again, the first thing you do is start a fight and boast yourself about having beautiful wives. Is that your way of complimenting your big sis?"
Lucien"s wives don"t like how Eve talks to their beloved hubby, but even they understand that it is better not to get involved in it and take a step back. It"s okay to risk their lives to fight alongside Lucien, but face his angry big sis is something that only he can do.
If Lucien"s wives already realize that Eve is not someone they should offend, let alone Amelia. She is the first to step back for fear of Eve also scolding her.
L.u.s.t and Envy quickly dematerialize their body, leaving Lucien alone to face his big sis.
He turns around slowly and smiles sheepishly as he looks at Eve"s face, who, even with a frown, is beautiful as a fairy, an angry fairy, of course.
"I"m sorry," Lucien speaks honestly.
Eve tries to keep an upset look, but Lucien"s honest expression added to the fact that he does not start the fight but Pride, make Eve unable to be really angry with him, but rather proud of the incredible man he became in the short time that they were apart.
Her lips slowly curve into a smile. "You looked like a depressed young boy a few months ago... but now you are a proud and arrogant man. Also, do you look more handsome than ever with these... horns? How the h.e.l.l do you have horns, wings, and a tail?"
Seeing Eve"s sweet and tender smile, Lucien can"t resist taking a quick step forward and hugging her. Before, he was almost the same height as her, but he saw her as taller than he was. But now, after growing a little more, with 1.93 meters tall, he is quite taller than she, and he does not miss the opportunity to lift her around the waist and rotate their bodies while hugging her tightly.
"Hey! Hahaha... don"t do it.... hahaha... Luci, stop!" Eve doesn"t know how to react when being hugged by Lucien that way. Certainly, she finds the feeling of hugging her beloved brother again very pleasant.
Still, she is a little embarra.s.sed by doing that kind of thing in front of so many people and a little worried that her troops may see them from the ground, and she starts to lose the power she worked so hard to achieve in the last few months.
Also, Eve can feel Pride"s anger and disapproval as she watches everything with an upset expression on her face.
"Are you going to stop being Queen Eve to becomes big sis again? Do I need to explain how it will make you lose the respect of your followers?" Pride talks to Eve mentally.
Eve quickly replies. "F.u.c.k you, Pride!! You"re the one to blame for attacking a boy like that. And that sneak attack... I didn"t expect that from you."
"Boy? d.a.m.n! Don"t you see that he is a demon, dragon, l.u.s.tful man?!?!?!?" Pride can"t help but respect Lucien"s power, but she would never say it out loud or declares that she was wrong.
Eve ignores Pride"s comments and focuses on her embrace with Lucien. He hugs her tighter and tighter as they rest their heads on each other"s shoulders.
"I really missed you, big sis!" Lucien speaks in a loving tone.
"Easy, little man, I missed you a lot too, but you will break my bones if you squeeze me harder." Eve laughs.
"Hehehe..." Lucien chuckles awkwardly. His relations.h.i.+p with Eve has always been special in many ways.
Then he puts her on the floor, that is, on the floating platform, and Eve quickly waves to Amelia. "Hey, you little girl, greets your big sis too."
Amelia quickly approaches them and joins Lucien and Eve in a mutual big hug, both siblings hugging one side of their big sis with one arm and themself with the other.
They touch their foreheads, avoiding Lucien"s horns, of course, while laughing.
"I know this was not the great demons" plan, but I am happy that we are together," Eve speaks as Pride shakes her head.
"Yes, we must stay together," Lucien says.
"Mm." Amelia agrees, although she cannot contain her possessive desires for Lucien and feel inferior to Eve.
Eve smiles. "You guys seem to be together for a long time. Have you been intimidating your brother, Amelia?"
Amelia makes an expression of regret as she remembers her troubled relations.h.i.+p with Lucien.
He answers before her. "We are fine. Though we had some disagreements at the beginning, we are family, and we will always be together from now on, supporting each other."
"Yeah." Amelia agrees while trying to hide her flushed expression while thinking about how they have been supporting each other in the past few days.
"Yes, a family... always together," Eve speaks lovingly, then smiles. "So, I want to know everything that happened to you, my siblings, and meet your... friends?"
Lucien feels a drop of sweat run down his forehead as he thinks about how to tell his big sis that almost all the women in his group are his wives.
"There is so much I want to tell you, big sis... I want to talk about how L.u.s.t and I discovered secrets hidden in my body and soul... things that maybe only my mother... My mother! She is alive. Her death was a lie of our father." Lucien starts trying to explain everything at once.
Eve is surprised and even more upset with their father. "d.a.m.n him!! I just found out about the stupid rose, and now this... He is the worse father ever!"
"The b.l.o.o.d.y rose? Do you know about it, and how did Pride lead this plan where we are just disposable weapons for them?" Lucien asks.
Eve nods. "Yes, Pride was reluctant to tell me that, but I could feel that she was hiding things from me... You know, although it is very bothersome to have her in my mind telling me what to do, she is not that bad. We are partners, we like it or not."
"I understand. L.u.s.t is also nothing like I thought she would be. In fact, she told me everything from the beginning. There is no secret between us. Envy, also, surprisingly, can be a good girl when she wants to." Lucien explains.
"We have a lot to talk about. Let"s go to the ground." Eve speaks.
Lucien stops hugging while looking at Pride, who watches them as she floats in front of Angela"s floating platform. "I understand that Pride is your partner, but she has to know the consequences of using our family as weapons."
Eve nods. "Yes, but I can"t do anything against her because I need her power to avenge my mother and protect our family. However, I don"t mind if you beat the s.h.i.+t out of her."
Lucien smiles and prepares to fly towards Pride, but Eve takes his arm and looks him in the eyes. "Still, Pride"s real power is not in her physical capabilities, but in her white light, that is her demonic energy. Also, although she has already spent a lot of her energy, she can still fight for a long time."
He caresses Eve"s face. "Don"t worry, big sis. I can keep fighting for long, too. Even if I lose, I"ll ease my anger by spanking her pretty face many times."
Eve smiles as she likes the new and confident Lucien more and more. "Ok, go on. I"ll not hold you back. Give her the s.h.i.+t she deserves."
Lucien smiles at Eve, as well as Amelia, before flying slowly towards Pride.
Pride laughs as he finds the situation increasingly peculiar. She speaks in her arrogant, habitual tone. "Oh boy, I think I"m starting like you. Let"s solve it with our fists and make Wrath proud, hehe."
Lucien also laughs, arrogantly like Pride. "Heh, this is the first thing that comes out of your mouth besides nonsense."
Pride cracks her knuckles while facing Lucien. "Come on, give me your best."
"As you want," Lucien speaks as he lunches a punch towards Pride with all his speed.
Pride ducks in the air and quickly punch up, aiming for Lucien"s belly.
*Whooosh*
But he flaps only one wing hard, dodging her blow as he spins his body and kicks Pride on the face, using the mix of energies to boost his capabilities to the maximum.
The incredible speed of Lucien surprises Pride, who, despite being able to dematerialize her body to avoid the attack, does not do that because she wants to take his blows head-on just as he does with hers.
She tries to block his kick with her forearm but fails to follow his speed.
*BAM!!*
Lucien"s strong kick hits Pride in the face and throws her several meters towards the ground. Still, she quickly regains control of her body and materializes in front of him, already attacking.
He blocks one of her fists, but the other hit him in the face and pushes him back.
*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*
Before Lucien regains control of his body, Pride flies towards him by throwing several punches and kicks. He blocks some of them, counterattacks others, and receives others as well.
And so they keep on fighting for several minutes, enjoying the battle while they don"t even notice smiles on their faces.
Then, when their demonic energy is almost gone, they attack each other hard and smash forehead against forehead, while the base of their horns touch.
"Hahaha... boy, this is somehow pleasant." Pride speaks while showing her sharp teeth on an arrogant smile.
Lucien also laughs as he continues to force his forehead on Pride"s. "If you mean me beating you, yes, I find it nice."
"Let"s finis-" Pride starts to speak but then her expression changes completely from arrogant to stern?
"Wait, boy!" She pulls her head back and looks up.
Lucien is curious and also looks up, without thinking that could be a trick of Pride.
"Huh?!" He is surprised to see a bright white light coming from the sky towards them. That light looks a little like Pride"s, but it"s not a pure white compared to hers.
That second, Lucien lowers his guard, and Pride quickly hugs him with one arm and raises the other.
[What?!] Lucien gets shocked as Pride forces his neck down, preventing him from looking up.
Then from Pride"s raised hand, her pure white brilliant light appears, creating an explosion of light that blocks the blast of light that came from the sky, creating an even greater explosion in the air.
*BOOOOOOM*
