Chapter 167 - Negotiations

Lucien and Amelia stopped fighting and looked at Dawn, who was looking at them with a shocked expression.

Dawn quickly recognized Lucien"s face as the beautiful devil she saw before losing consciousness.

"Yo-" But she couldn"t even speak a word before L.u.s.t materialized behind her and knocked her out with another blow on the head.

Amelia, still on top of Lucien, couldn"t help but make an upset expression. "You may not kill her. She is one of my important p.a.w.ns."

Lucien smiled. "Oh? But we are at war now, right? One less p.a.w.n for you is an advantage for me."

"L.u.s.t, kill her." Lucien jokingly spoke.

"No!!" Amelia punched Lucien on the shoulder, of course, without force. She also didn"t realize that the position she was on top of Lucien is very suggestive.

Lucien made an offended expression. "Why not? Didn"t you think you already have too many advantages? Isn"t having three hundred thousand more soldiers than me already enough?"

Amelia pouted. "But she is my favorite p.a.w.n."

He shook his head. "I don"t remember you being so spoiled."

Amelia is not spoiled. In fact, none of Lucien"s sisters are spoiled. Their father has always treated them strictly. But Amelia always wanted to be spoiled, not by her father but by her handsome brother.

She continued to pout. "Are you going to intimidate your sister?"

Lucien rolled his and Amelia"s body, getting on top of her and pressing her against the ground.

Then he started to move his face closer to hers. "Of course not. Although you are trying to intimidate me as usual, I will be a good brother."

Amelia started to panic when Lucien started to bring his face closer to hers. She thought it would be pretty bad if he tried something weird, but her body was getting more and more comfortable around him.

She actually wanted more intimate contact with him, of course, in the right way for siblings to show affection and not in a weird way.

The time seemed to slow while Amelia saw her brother"s mouth approaching hers. She prepared to kick him…

But then Lucien just used his hand to get up off the ground quickly. "Well, I need to give your p.a.w.n life mana before she loses more blood."

Amelia was happy that Lucien didn"t try anything weird. Well, her mind felt good, but her body felt like she had missed something.

Lucien quickly approached the carriage where Dawn was. L.u.s.t"s power increases according to Lucien, so she was already in the Mortal Realm too, and even a weak blow from her was enough to hurt Dawn.

Amelia couldn"t help being curious. "Can you use life mana on spells just like Sophia?"

Lucien couldn"t help but worry. L.u.s.t had told Envy about Sophia and how he could put his tattoo on her as that is a very important subject that shouldn"t be hidden from the other great demons.

Still, Lucien didn"t want to tell Amelia that yet because her reaction would undoubtedly be negative. Envy seemed to understand that since she didn"t tell it to Amelia. But in fact, she just wanted to use that trump card at the best possible time.

He shook his head. "No. I can only use it... Well, with my fluids."

"Humm... "Amelia was a little confused by Lucien"s answer, but then she had a bad feeling. "Wait!! What are you doing?!"

Lucien was already lifting Dawn"s face to kiss and give her life mana. "As I said, I have to give her some of my saliva."

Again Amelia felt that strange and bad sentiment. "Can"t you give her your saliva without kissing?"

He made a confused expression. "What do you mean? Spitting? That would be weird, disgusting, and unfair to her. It"s just a kiss, and I"m not going to do anything weird."

Lucien wasted no time and kissed Dawn, giving her some of his saliva with life mana, which quickly healed her head injury. He didn"t give her too much saliva so she wouldn"t wake up soon, hindering their conversion again.

Amelia could only watch as her brother kissed another woman in front of her. He already has L.u.s.t and several other wives, but he also wants Envy, and now he was even kissing Dawn.

She understood that she needs to take control of the situation quickly, or he would end up belonging to many women, and she would lose her brother.

Seeing how different Lucien was, Amelia couldn"t help but wonder what would happen if he had met Sophia first and not her.

"They would certainly do weird things." Amelia fear that they would cross a line that shouldn"t be crossed.

But then she had another thought as she remembered Lucien saying that he gained the life of one of his wives. "No... It can"t be... Don"t tell me..."

Lucien finished helping Dawn and jumped off the carriage while explaining to Amelia. "It"s okay now. She"s only going to sleep for about an hour. We can continue our conversation."

Then he realized that Amelia was making a very upset expression. "What happened? That was just a kiss. I didn"t even want to kiss her. It was just because you said that she is one of your important p.a.w.ns."

Amelia didn"t want to believe that her suspicion is true, but she can"t help asking. "What is the name of your wife, who has life affinity?"

Lucien had a bad feeling. He didn"t want to lie, but talking about Sophia would only cause problems now. "Why do you want to know that?

Amelia started walking towards him. "Is it her? Is it Sophia? Tell me the truth."

She was asking that, but she clearly already believed it, so there was no reason for Lucien to try to hide it anymore. "Yes. Is that what you want to hear? She"s my wife now."

"Wife? She"s your sister!! We are siblings! You can"t do that." Amelia was having various bad feelings and thought it was because Lucien did something very weird.

Of course, she would not admit to being jealous of her sister.

Lucien spoke honestly. "You know she had feelings for me for a long time. I was blind before, and I never responded to her feelings."

"But now it"s different. Now I"m not going to spare efforts to love back whoever loves me in every way possible."

Amelia couldn"t help feeling a good warmth in her heart when Lucien talked about loving back anyone who loves him. Still, she couldn"t handle her chaotic feelings.

Strangely, the idea that Lucien did that with his own sister was not as bad as the fact that he did that with Sophia.

Amelia was angry, confused, very jealous... She jumped at Lucien again. "Perverted brother!! I"m going to beat you up so hard!!!"

Lucien couldn"t do anything but let Amelia keep hitting him.

He knew that the situation is very complicated, and depending on what he does next, he could make his relations.h.i.+p with Amelia worse, so he had to think very carefully about how to progress.

While they had another sibling conflict, L.u.s.t teleported to Envy"s side. "This is so stupid... It is evident that she just wants his affection."

Envy smiled. "Yes, but she wants everything and not just a part of him. She also wants to be the one in control. This is actually very good for me."

L.u.s.t shook her head. "But it can only have one end... Lucien doesn"t allow anyone in control but him."

"So maybe it"s time for a change. You have always been the most fragile of us, and that will not change just because you have a better host this time." Envy responded.

L.u.s.t didn"t answer Envy but just laughed. She has complete confidence in Lucien.

Envy was a little disappointed that her provocations had little effect on L.u.s.t.

"You look very excited, but in the end, he will have more women in one way or another. If you love him, shouldn"t that be bad for you?"

L.u.s.t smiled as she looked at Lucien. "More women means more power for our family. Still, no matter how big our family becomes, I will always be his first wife. Our connection is unshakable."

Envy laughed. "You are very confident. You just got a good start, but wait until he realizes how big the difference is between our potential. He will know what is best for him."

"You are just as jealous as Amelia. Not to mention that he is the most handsome man of all, just the fact that he can generate so much demonic energy makes you regret choosing host so fast."

Envy couldn"t believe that she was being teased by L.u.s.t. Still, she didn"t need to be connected to Lucien to benefit from his abilities.

She just needed Amelia to take the lead, and she would use both of them to become stronger than the other great demons.

Now that Amelia had aroused those feelings for Lucien, Envy could redirect her focus, not only to seek more power but also to seek her brother"s full attention.

Amelia continued to punch Lucien. "You will have to stop having that kind of relations.h.i.+p with Sophia!!"

Lucien took her wrists. "You can"t ask me for that. We are already together, and I would never abandon my responsibilities."

Amelia was distraught because she couldn"t stop thinking about Lucien and Sophia together, and that made her very uncomfortable.

"So... When I win this compet.i.tion, you will have to..." She wanted to say that he would have to love her more, but of course, she couldn"t say it out loud.

Lucien pushed her against the carriage door. "Why don"t we talk about it when the compet.i.tion is over? Now let"s enjoy our time together before you get back to the Light Empire."

Amelia tried to escape from Lucien. "No! We can"t do that."

He made a fake confused expression. "Do what?"

She blushed. "Weird things... We may not do it. I"m not Sophia."

Lucien couldn"t help but roll his eyes. It was obvious that Amelia was jealous of Sophia, but she was too stubborn to admit it and just let him hug her.

"We should not talk about Sophia. I want to talk to you to know what you have been doing on this world."

"Hmm... We can talk then." Amelia was still flushed in embarra.s.sment just because she was so close to Lucien.

Then they talked about random things for a while until Lucien suggested introducing his wives to Amelia, and she becomes furious again.

Amelia is terrible at dealing with her feelings. She was not prepared for Lucien"s personality changes and didn"t know how to act now.

Before she started beating Lucien again because of her jealousy, Envy suggested that they began going back to the Light Empire.

The trip takes about a week, even with horses very fast pulling the carriage. So they had to continue their plans to absorb all the power from the Light King to get stronger and be able to beat Lucien in every way possible and win the compet.i.tion.

Amelia wanted to spend more time with Lucien, but Envy convinced her that the best way to do this would be when she takes the lead, so she quickly agreed to return to the Light Empire.

Lucien did not like this result because he did not like being separated from his family again. But he knew that dealing with Amelia and Envy would not be so easy, so he could only continue trying his best.

He gave her a tight hug. "I will miss you."

Amelia also hugged him tightly. "Don"t worry. In two months, I will be back with a giant army, take over Portgreen, and then you will follow me like a good brother."

"We will see…" Lucien then kissed Amelia on the cheek.

She panicked while blus.h.i.+ng more. "Now go. Dawn is almost awake, and we have to start traveling."

Lucien smiled and jumped back, disappearing into the shadows as he left some teasing words. "So soft."

Amelia blushed more than ever in embarra.s.sment and anger while she had her other b.r.e.a.s.t squeezed by Lucien.

"You will pay for that!!! Stupid perverted brother!!!"
