Chapter 202 - Lovely Girls

Madelyn was very embarra.s.sed because she thought that Lucien had heard everything she was saying.

She got down from the table where she was standing on to make her motivational speech and walked towards him.

"You heard everything, right?" She asked while she couldn"t even look at Lucien"s eyes because of her embarra.s.sment.

"Yes, I did." Lucien smiled. He really wanted to touch Madelyn"s ears, which were slightly bent because she was very embarra.s.sed.

But he didn"t want to flirt with her before she understood his methods, his goals for leaving this world, and also the fact that he already has many wives.

Lucien understands that many women are not willing to be with a man who already has many wives. In fact, many of his wives thought so before they met him and genuinely fell in love with him, and set aside thoughts like that.

Madelyn became even more flushed when Lucien alleged to have heard her words. She quickly started to explain in a concerned tone.

"We were not planning against you. I really think our group can be very useful to you. I am not a combatant, but most of the girls here are very hardworking adventurers with good combat experience. Also, many of us are very talented."

Lucien quickly replied. "I agree."

But Madelyn did not hear him because she was certain that he would find her and her friends, crazy girls. "I know it doesn"t sound fair to you, having to take care of us. But we"re not going to be a burden on you."

"Yes, I believe you," Lucien replied.

Madelyn was still not listening to him because she was very nervous. "Please, Lucien. I"m just asking you to give me, and the girls a chance to show you that we can-"

But then Madelyn looked at Lucien and saw that he was kindly smiling at her. "Wait. Do you really agree?"

Lucien nodded. "Of course. You all look cute, and seem like amazing girls to me, so why would I be against it?"

When Lucien said that the L girls looked like a group of amazing and cute girls, they couldn"t help blus.h.i.+ng even more. Most of them had to look away from Lucien; otherwise, their hearts would explode with happiness.

Madelyn was clearly very happy with Lucien"s answer, but she couldn"t believe that things would be so easy. Maybe Lucien was playing with her?

She didn"t want to be suspicious of him, but she also wanted to ensure that her group was treated with honesty and dignity. Even if he was the King now, he should not deceive them.

"Lucien... Ghilanna told me that the women in black armor are your private troops, whom you train with special techniques and feed them with incredible magical treasure... Are you really willing to treat us the same way?"

Lucien couldn"t help but find the way Madelyn talked about his techniques and treasures funny when, in fact, it was about s.e.x and his s.p.e.r.m.

He spoke in an honest tone. "About that... Well, I think you need to understand how it all works before you decide if I"m worthy, or not, of taking care of you."

Madelyn and the other girls were confused by Lucien"s words. They are sure he is so fantastic, and his troops were also so incredible so that they couldn"t imagine how he couldn"t be worthy of taking care of them.

"Is this about some kind of side effect from your treasure like Ivan"s crystals?" Madelyn concluded that there could be a harmful side effect in the treasure that Lucien used to make his troops so powerful.

L.u.s.t couldn"t help commenting. "If you consider getting addicted to it, a side effect..."

Wherever Lucien goes, he would always be the center of attention for the girls, but L.u.s.t would be the same way, just for the men. Madelyn couldn"t help but be impressed by her beauty.

"You are..." Madelyn thought L.u.s.t was another of Lucien"s wives, so she didn"t want to sound disrespectful.

"L.u.s.t, my wife," Lucien responded as he caressed L.u.s.t"s face.

L.u.s.t smiled at him. "First wife."

Lucien smiled. He loves all sides of L.u.s.t, including her jealous att.i.tudes. "Yes, first wife."

Madelyn and the other girls were surprised as they thought Ca.s.sidy was Lucien"s first wife. Well, they concluded that she had a position very similar to the L.u.s.ts position.

Still, Lucien looked like the most perfect and kindest man ever, so the girls were sure he wouldn"t treat his wives any differently.

Madelyn and other girls saw that even in public, Lucien treats all his wives with great affection and respect, so in his home, things shouldn"t be like a harem where one woman can intimidate another because she is the first wife.

Then Lucien explained to Madelyn about the issue of his troops. "The point is not about side effects, but that my training methods are very... peculiar."

"Humm..." Madelyn made a thoughtful expression.

Lucien quickly made his point clear. "I really hope that you and your group will join my troops and me. Especially you, Madelyn."

Madelyn had to look away again while she couldn"t control her feelings. "Lucien... I"m not really a combatant... I had a few problems, and after that, I preferred to stay in the Guild as an attendant."

Madelyn"s cuteness and the fact that she sounded a little sad when she talked about having a problem in the past made Lucien really have trouble holding back the urge to hug and protect the cute cat-girl.

But he controlled his feelings and went on to explain his point. "I understand that. I don"t expect you to be fighting or being in dangerous situations with me. I would actually need your wind magic to move my s.h.i.+p faster on sea journeys."

Madelyn"s feelings were confused. Of course, she wanted to go on trips with Lucien, but she feared that her traumas would end up being a problem for him and his group.

Lucien could see in Madelyn"s eyes that she had mixed feelings. He couldn"t help being impressed that she was encouraging her group to join his troops when she didn"t seem to have the same plans for herself.

That showed how much she cared for the wellbeing of her group over her own wellbeing and that only made Lucien have an even better impression of her.

Madelyn really thought that she couldn"t join Lucien"s troops and receive the treasure called special milk, but that didn"t stop her from helping her friends to achieve that. Also, she could always achieve a lower management position in Lucien"s group. Well, she expected that.

Now Lucien said that she could help him without being a combatant, so she certainly wanted to accept it. Still, the thought of disappointing him prevented her from saying yes.

Lucien smiled at the cute cat-girl. "It"s alright, Madelyn, I would never force you to do anything, but I think we can come to an agreement that will be very good for you and me. How about we talk better about it later?"

Madelyn was very happy that Lucien is understanding and did not demand her answer right now. She was very willing to talk about the issue and find out things like where the trips would be, when, and the like.

That could also give her more time to gather the courage to not miss out on this wonderful opportunity.

She couldn"t help but smile while answering in a very excited tone. "Yes! I would love to talk about it whenever you want."

"I will be busy tomorrow, but we can talk about it the day after tomorrow. This will also be a good opportunity for your group to understand my training methods." Lucien continued.

"There is a group repairing the royal castle. So by then, there will be a suitable place at the castle where your friends can talk to my troops and understand everything."

Madelyn nodded. "That sounds good. So will we meeting at the royal castle the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes. You can come in the morning. I hope we can... cooperate." Lucien replied.

"I"m looking forward to it." Madelyn smiled sheepishly while the other girls in the hall had similar expressions as they were looking forward to cooperating with Lucien.

Lucien was really looking forward to seeing if these girls could accept his peculiar training methods. Among them were several very cute demi-human like cat-girls, fox-girls, and other varieties.

He smiled at the girls and said goodbye to Madelyn before leaving the restaurant building with Olivia and L.u.s.t.

"Madelyn is an adorable and kind girl. Also, she would be an excellent companion for Kara when the other girls and I are fighting." Lucien commented.

L.u.s.t nodded. "Her talent is not that incredible, but it is above average. I also saw other girls there with good wind affinity."

"They are kind, and smart girls. So I think they will be very compatible with you, hubby," Olivia commented.

"Well, let"s talk about it the day after tomorrow. Do you have anything important here to do right now, my dear? "Lucien asked Olivia.

She hugged his arm affectionately. "No. I was just ending the discussion with those people you helped me deal with. I have already given them some of the Guild resources for them to make decent funerals for those who died in battle, even though they don"t really deserve it."

"Nice, you did well. So, let"s go home." Lucien prepared to open the portal to the purple world.

When Lucien and the girls left the portal in the hall on the fifth floor of his house, Olivia began to undress while L.u.s.t just dematerialized her clothes while kissing Lucien pa.s.sionately.

They had had a very busy day. A great battle in the morning and many bureaucratic issues to resolve during the day. All they wanted to do is relax in their warm and comfortable home.

All of Lucien"s wives, Oya and Ko, were in the fifth-floor hall waiting for him.

Ca.s.sidy smiled at him. "We already took a bath, but we want to take another one while we wash you, hubby."

"And of course, we can always start having fun in the bath," Rose commented while Mia nodded with an excited expression on her face.

Lucien is always concerned about his mother, and very few things could really relax him. Getting home after a tiring day and seeing the warm smiles of his lovely wives is one of those rare things.

"Such lovely girls." He praised them, making them smile proudly.

L.u.s.t started to undress him as a caring wife and was surprised when she took off his underwear, and his tail shook excitedly.

Lucien was also taken aback because although he was really feeling an uncomfortable sensation in his lower back, he didn"t expect his tail to be fully grown.

"Oh. Why did it grow so fast?" He couldn"t help asking L.u.s.t. At the beginning of the day his tail was sixty centimeters and still seemed to need a few weeks to finish growing. But now it is almost a meter long with a sharp elongated spade-shaped tip.

L.u.s.t a.n.a.lyzed Lucien"s body carefully. "Oh, you"re very close to reaching the second layer of the Mortal Realm. The huge amount of demonic energy that you generated in battle helped your tail finish growing."

Lucien was still impressed by the demonic energy he generated with the pleasure of the battle. That was a different pleasure from s.e.x and had more to do with the connection he has with Aylin"s naginata and the fact that she was pa.s.sionate about fighting.

He was so focused on resolving the affairs of the kingdom and other things that he didn"t even realize that the discomfort he was feeling in his lower back was his tail.

When Lucien"s tail was sixty centimeters, it could still be inside his clothes without being too uncomfortable, but now that it"s a meter and thicker than before, he needs to make a hole in his clothes to let it free.

Also, Lucien still didn"t know how to control his tail that spun excitedly, leaving his wives hypnotized.

"So cute!!" The girls couldn"t help exclaiming as they tried to touch and stroke Lucien"s tail.
