Chapter 301 - Weird, or just unusual?
While Lucien related his story to Eve, the other girls around them tried not to listen to them and kept talking and eating the snacks prepared by Eve"s troops.
Still, they were unable to ignore what was going on. While Lucien"s wives were very curious about Eve"s reactions, especially while Lucien talked about how he met each of them, Luise and Elsie, also at the table, were very curious about Lucien.
Eve is totally focused on Lucien and has not yet thought about what to say to her troops, who are very confused and curious. But whatever she will say, she will not hide that Lucien is her little brother, and that will inevitably have an impact on her figure as a woman who hates men, except one apparently.
And so, she did not prevent Luise and Elsie from staying at the table as they are her most loyal soldiers, before Ghalenna, who remained in Viset to maintain order in the Alliance.
"So, is he really the Handsome Devil who defeated the Light Empire army?" Luise asks Anne as she watches Lucien talking to Eve.
"Yeah, the only one." Anne nods.
"And he"s your husband..." Elsie comments as she can"t help but be charmed by Lucien"s overwhelming look.
"Yeah, the only one! Hehehe..." Anne laughs proudly.
At that point, they already know that Lucien is Eve"s little brother. So Luise starts making a.s.sumptions. "It isn"t strange that someone as powerful as our Queen appears at the same time as the Handsome Devil... they are siblings... What about the Light Envoy? Can they be connected also?"
"Wasn"t Light Envoy defeated by the Handsome Devil in the great beach battle?" Elsie thinks out loud.
Anne laughs while looking at Amelia. "That one is the Light Envoy, and she is their sister. Dawn is also with us, but she is with the hubby troops on the east beach."
"REALLY???" Luise and Elsie are unable to contain their shock and end up talking very loudly, which makes the other girls look at them, including Amelia, who gives a specific look to the mother-daughter fox pair.
Luise and Elsie lower their heads while being embarra.s.sed. Then the fox matriarch speaks in a low tone. "So the three most powerful people who appeared at almost the same time on our continent are siblings..."
"What does that mean for our people? Are we still going to conquer the other kingdoms?" Elsie asks.
Luise nods. "Without a doubt. Just look at them... Queen Eve is the oldest and strongest sister, so it"s normal for her to lead and unify the whole continent under one flag... a flag for women."
"Humph." As soon as Luise finishes her words, Maggie, next to them, makes a mocking sound.
The girls look at her inquisitively, and Maggie explains. "Even if Eve is the older and stronger one, which I"m not sure, he is still hubby, and hubby is hubby, there is no easy way to explain it."
Astrid joins the conversation. "Maggie is right. That is not just about hubby being extremely dominant, but also about the power that he and Eve can give to other people."
Luise, Elsie, and all of their group"s troops witnessed the power of Lucien"s wives, so obviously, they"re curious. "Does he also have that aura?"
Astrid shakes her head while making a thoughtful expression as she remembers the aura that Lucien can create with Amelia. "Well, it"s not about the way he gives it to us, but the fact that the power that Eve gives you is a temporary boost and the power that hubby gives to us and his troops is only ours forever, besides being able to give us boosts also beyond the real power."
"Woah..." Elsie doesn"t doubt Astrid"s words, which makes her quickly ask. "And how does he empower you?"
Astrid, like Lucien"s other wives, get flushed instantly while thinking about that. "Well... his great demon is L.u.s.t... so... you know..."
"Oh..." Elsie blushes a little as she looks at Lucien"s devilishly handsome face. "That shouldn"t be difficult for him..."
"Undoubtedly," Luise comments while also enjoying Lucien"s look.
"Also, hubby, just for his looks, is already the number one enemy of all men. He favors women like Eve." Maggie comments.
Luise understands that, but she still has full confidence that Eve will be their main leader. "But Lucien is just a man while Eve can empower hundreds and thousands of people at the same time."
"..." While Elsie agrees with her mother, Lucien"s wives make a thoughtful expression.
Maggie thinks out loud. "Maybe it"s better this way... I mean, the more women hubby have to take care of, the less time we will have with him."
The other girls can"t help but agree with Maggie, but then Ca.s.sidy also joins the conversation while sitting in front of them, on the other side of the table.
"Why are you talking like Lucien and Eve are going to compete to lead this continent?" Ca.s.sidy asks.
The question was rhetorical as Ca.s.sidy quickly continues. "Let alone the fact that we are going to follow Lucien to his homeworld at some point. You are also ignoring the fact that they are siblings. They can lead together."
Angela, at Ca.s.sidy"s side, can"t help but comment too. "Yes, while Lucien will be the only King, Eve can be the Great Queen."
Lucien"s wives quickly nod as they agree, but Luise and Elsie make confused expressions.
"But... they are siblings... Acting like King and Queen can look very wrong... you know..." Luise tries not to sound rude or disrespectful.
Since the girls are not whispering, the other girls at the table can hear their conversation, and Amelia makes an upset expression when she hears that.
Ca.s.sidy quickly responds. "We don"t have to worry too much about what others think. Lucien and Eve will inevitably unify the continent. But what will come after will be up to the people who stay here, those who are most loyal to them."
"Hmmm..." Luise doesn"t know what to think. She thought Eve would forever be her Queen, but now it seems that she doesn"t intend to stay with them for long.
While the girls continue talking about various things at one end of the big table, Lucien and Eve"s conversation starts to reach the most critical point at the other end of the table.
"I can"t believe you did that with Sophia!!!"
Their conversation doesn"t surprise Lucien"s wives, but Elsie and Luise are totally shocked.
Seeing the expressions of the fox mother-daughter pair, Amelia smiles, thinking to herself. [I have to do that as well, or Sophia will appear out of nowhere and take the place that must belong to me.]
"Did he really do that with his sister?" Luise still can"t believe that. For some people, that line must not be crossed.
"It can"t be..." Elsie doesn"t believe it either.
The girls begin to pay more attention to Lucien and Eve"s conversion and then see him approaching their lips, and their minds start to go into shock again.
Luise is worried. [Not! Please don"t do this, my Queen!!]
[You are siblings... it"s so wrong!!] Elsie is also worried.
Lucien"s wives also didn"t expect him to be so bold. They are still trying to understand what Eve really means to Lucien, but it is clear that their connection is quite different from his relations.h.i.+p with Amelia.
[Are they really going to do it right now?] All Lucien"s wives ask themselves the same question.
Amelia makes an upset expression while her jealousy gets out of control. [It can"t be for real!! I don"t want to lose to Eve...]
L.u.s.t smiles while Envy doesn"t know what to think.
But Pride... she feels many emotions that she did not expect to have.
[This... is bad, right? Eve can"t let the boy get...] Pride tries to focus on the consequences that a kiss with Lucien can have on their current generation of demonic energy.
However, she can"t take her eyes off Lucien"s lips while remembering the feeling of kissing him. [That... was warm... soft... tasty... that feeling of power...]
Pride prepares to attack Lucien again and prevent him from kissing Eve at any cost. [I can"t let this happen. I have to be the only one in charge here!]
But then, while everyone is uncertain about what will happen next, Lucien stops moving his lips towards Eve"s when he notices her smile.
The girls get confused.
[Did he stop?!]
[Did he give up??]
[He realized it"s wrong...]
[Is he backing down?]
[No... hubby doesn"t back down.]
[But Eve is her big sis...]
[ d.a.m.n! Why am I so nervous?]
[Yes, stop now... and let his lips belong only to me.]
"......"
"Do you really think you can seduce your big sis?"
Eve"s words surprise not only Lucien but all the girls around them.
That smile from Eve... Lucien and Amelia recognize it as the same smile that their big sis did when I caught them doing something wrong, like avoiding training or running away from study sessions.
That smile is not a smile of fun or happiness but a sarcastic smile that gets more and more distorted as Eve gets angrier.
That smile is the smile of a big sis ready to punish her little brother.
"He"s screwed." Amelia can"t help but think out loud.
Amelia"s words awaken Lucien to what he already expected.
"That"s not it, big si-" Lucien tries to calm Eve, but he can see her moving her hand towards his ear and quickly focuses his demonic energy on boost his body and starts flapping his wings, trying to fly away from Eve.
*Wooosh*
Eve is again surprised by Lucien"s agility, but she still doesn"t lose to him as she is almost at Sky Realm.
"Not so fast!" She holds Lucien"s ankle as he tries to fly away.
Lucien keeps flapping his wings, but he can"t escape Eve"s incredibly powerful grip. "Calm down, big sis! This is not the time for us to fight."
"Fight? Hahaha..." Eve maintains a scary smile as she grips Lucien"s ankle.
But then she abruptly stops laughing and looks him in the eye with a stern expression. "You did something so immoral with Sophia, you"re trying to do the same to Amelia, and now you"re even trying to seduce me, your big sis!"
"You don"t understand-" Lucien tries to argue.
But Eve interrupts him while shaking her head. "I always did my best to make you and our sister become good people, different from our stupid father. I wasn"t a perfect bis sis, but I still can"t understand how things ended up like this..."
Eve stops thinking about the past and focuses on the present. "This is my fault, but I can still fix it... yes, I will punish you now, in front of your beloved wives, and show you what happens to naughty boys who try to make their sisters a harem."
"Wait!" Lucien still tries to fly away from Eve. Even if he was stronger than she, he still couldn"t use force against his beloved big sis.
But Eve doesn"t think the same way. She, as responsible for Lucien and their other sister, has a duty to discipline them whenever they do something wrong. She doesn"t like to hurt her beloved little brother but need to do it for his own good.
*BAM* *SMASH*
Eve pulls Lucien down, making him hit his back on the table and break it, while the girls jump back.
Lucien quickly turns to jump away from Eve, but she jumps on his back and pushes him to the ground while preparing to spank his a.s.s.
"..." The girls understand Eve"s intention, but they can"t help finding it very strange to see Eve mounting on Lucien"s back as his tail wags in front of her face.
[This is so weird...]
