Chapter 367: Good Devil, Bad Brother?
"Hahahaha..." Donna starts to laugh when she sees Amelia and Sophia"s cute expressions in Lucien"s arms.
Although Donna likes to see them acting so lovingly, she knows what kind of thing is bringing them together and doesn"t know if it"s good or bad for their family.
"I want to see our big sis" reaction when she finds out what kind of naughty thing you"ve been doing," Donna speaks in a funny tone.
Lucien smiles at Donna. "You just need to look up..."
"Huh?" Donna gets confused, but Wraths quickly warns her mentally of Pride"s aura approaching them.
They look south and see the clouds making way for someone flying at extremely fast speed. Even Lucien is surprised by that; after all, Eve is much stronger and faster than a normal Sky Realm person due to Pride and the b.l.o.o.d.y rose.
In less than two seconds, Eve flies a few miles and reaches above the group. She stops in the air and observes her siblings with a proud and loving expression as it is easy to understand what happened due to the mutilated bodies of the angels on the ground.
"I think I missed the fun." She speaks with a fake sad expression.
"Big sis!!" Donna is very happy to see Eve. She jumps up with such force that she makes the ground shake before she starts to hug Eve in the air.
Eve hugs Donna tightly while Pride materializes her body on the ground in front of Lucien.
"Sister..." Wrath speaks in a respectful tone as he walks towards Pride. She respects her oldest sister very much, as does Lucien, and his sisters respect Eve.
But Pride ignores Wrath as he approaches Lucien. She wipes a bloodstain on the collar of his s.h.i.+rt while making a curious and surprised expression.
"Oh my... what did you do?" Pride asks as Wrath is furious for being ignored because of Lucien.
"..." Lucien doesn"t know what to say. He doesn"t understand why he finds Pride so incredible, but at the same time, he doesn"t want to lose his own pride by looking so affected by her.
But l.u.s.t does not miss the opportunity to exalt Lucien"s achievements, especially to Pride, as she knows that it will be much more difficult to make Lucien want to seduce Eve.
"Oh, no big deal. He just killed two angels from the Sky Realm third layer after having a little trouble killing one from the seventh layer." l.u.s.t speaks in a relaxed tone, but it is evident that she is very proud of Lucien for that.
Pride is really shocked, which is extremely rare, and Lucien has shocked her several times in a short period. She looks at l.u.s.t and Lucien"s faces several times before starting to laugh.
"Hahahaha... oh boy, you really are something. Maybe... you are even worthy of..." Pride laughs as she doesn"t doubt l.u.s.t"s words.
"Worthy of what?" Lucien makes a confused expression.
Pride stops laughing while her eyes s.h.i.+ne with white light. "Worthy of my respect."
"What?!!" Wrath exclaims while unable to accept that Lucien has actually killed an angel from the Sky Realm seventh layer and now even has Pride"s respect.
The only other person Pride ever said to respect was the legendary Dragon Queen of War, so how could a simple boy with peculiar characteristics also be worthy of that great honor?
Envy and l.u.s.t just smile as they are proud of Lucien, too. Sloth also smiles as she finds it most amazing that Pride is praising the host of another sin, and he is even l.u.s.t"s lover.
There was always a lot of rivalry between the sins, and that compet.i.tion extended to their hosts. But now, not only are the seven hosts united siblings, but they also share deep bonds of love with Lucien, and even other sins respect and love him.
Sloth can already see a change in their leaders.h.i.+p of them, and more, the consequences of Lucien"s actions can change everything, even the future of their whole race.
Lucien feels very good to hear that Pride could already respect him. But that is far from everything he wants. Since he saw Pride and realized how different she is from any other woman, he wanted to not only get her respect but also make her totally love him.
Wanting to conquer Pride"s heart is not just a wish from Lucien"s heart, but it is the best way he can see to achieve his goal of making his family stronger.
He knows that making Eve cooperate with his methods will be very difficult due to how she sees him as a little brother and he sees her as big sis, but with Pride, he doesn"t have these problems and just has to gain her respect to start seducing her, without feeling awkward.
So he smiles at Pride, making the hearts of all the women there tremble with his charm. "And who said I wanted your respect?"
Pride laughs again as he caresses his beautiful face. The fact that he is the most handsome man she has ever seen and that he is proud of that is incredible; after all, even his enemies respect him and admire him for that.
"Some things don"t have to be said to be true." Pride speaks in her naturally arrogant tone.
"Fair..." Lucien answers in an honest tone but is surprised when Pride steps forward and moves her hand towards his groin. Of course, he can"t help but be confused about her sudden action.
Everyone around is also surprised by Pride"s movement, but she moves her hand to the side before touching Lucien"s pants and grabs the Ghost Lady by the grip.
The silver blade that was calm and containing her aura while enjoying Lucien"s demonic energy is quickly stressed by being get away from him.
Pride raises the Ghost Lady, who desperately tries to get rid of her and return to Lucien. However, Pride continues to hold her tightly and use her dominant aura to suppress the sword"s chaotic energy.
"A cursed weapon... it"s been a while since I saw one with such a strong personality, let alone see someone control it without using force." Pride is shocked by Lucien again.
Wrath is even more shocked, mainly because she understands cursed about weapons and knows that this is impossible even for her to contain the anger of such weapons.
"No, no, no, this can"t be... no one has ever had a good relations.h.i.+p with a cursed weapon... this is a trick!!" Wrath doesn"t believe that Ghost Lady was calm in Lucien"s scabbard or that it was for real a cursed weapon.
Pride looks at Wrath with an expression of disapproval. "Are you doubting him or me?"
Wrath shakes her head as she realizes that she has offended Pride. "I-I d-didn"t mean that... I"m s-sorry, big sis, but this is just..."
"Just what?" Pride asks sarcastically and quickly continues. "Aren"t you feeling the chaotic aura of it? Didn"t you see me take the sword out of his scabbard? Also, you weren"t feeling it before because she was calm and restrained by her own will with him."
Pride"s words leave no doubt about the situation, but everyone wonders if she is also doing this to praise Lucien as l.u.s.t did or if she is just curious about how he "tamed" the sword.
Wrath obviously believes in Pride"s words, but she still thinks it may be Envy and l.u.s.t"s trick to manipulate them. "Sister... I understand that the sword was under his control, but I don"t understand how he did it. That could be Envy and l.u.s.t"s plan."
"Hahahaha..." Pride starts to laugh sarcastically and then throws the sword at Wrath, shocking everyone.
The Ghost Lady spins in the air under the incredible strength of Pride, but less than a meter from hitting Wrath"s face, the sword regains control and flies eagerly towards Lucien, ignoring her desire to destroy everything around to receive his pleasant energy again.
Lucien quickly reaches forward, and the Ghost Lady turns to land her grip on his palm. He picks her up and puts her in the scabbard, where she becomes calm again and contains her aura, like a docile kitten.
Pride slowly claps her hands as she looks at Wrath. "It doesn"t matter how he did it; he and only he has control over the sword. I didn"t feel the aura of l.u.s.t, Envy, or anyone else when he took her. And you, did you felt something wrong?"
Wrath is shocked again as the cursed sword seems completely under the control of Lucien and only him. She bows her head while she regrets doubting him.
"I see..." She says while gritting her teeth. Part of her is angry with the sword for not making sense, angry with Lucien for being so incredible and stealing Pride"s attention, but part of her is angry with herself.
Another person who is angry is Lucien. He doesn"t like Pride"s arrogant att.i.tude and mainly because she touched one of his "girls" without her consent.
He approaches Pride and looks her in the eye with a neutral expression. "Never touch her again."
"Or what?" Pride provocatively smiles as she moves one of her hands in front of his groin again.
Lucien smiles as he prepares to start fighting Pride. In fact, he is eager to exchange unarmed blows with her again, especially after killing Melitta. A specific part of his soul craves for exciting battles.
Pride also wants to fight Lucien. She wants to help him reach his full potential and then be thankful to her. She wants him to respect her above all his women and seek her all the time. She wants to be more important to him than l.u.s.t, Eve, and everyone else.
"d.a.m.n!! Are you going to start fighting again?!?! Can"t we have some peace for a while??!" Eve descends from the sky and lands in front of Lucien and Pride. Then she drives them away.
"Eve is right. We have a lot to do now, so this is not the time for fights." Sloth approaches them and speaks before amicably smiling at Lucien.
Lucien is stunned and confused for a second while realizing how beautiful Sloth is. She has a curvy body similar to Ca.s.sidy"s but with even bigger b.r.e.a.s.t.s and slightly wider hips. Also, she has a gentle face like Angela"s and already looks like a loving mother, which is definitely the kind of woman Lucien admires most.
[How could I not remember that she was so beautiful?!] He thinks while he doesn"t remember that when he met Sloth, he only had thoughts for his mother.
Wrath makes a sad expression after Sloth"s words. "f.u.c.k!! I wanted to see this fight..."
Pride to laugh while looking at Lucien. "The first time was so good... so, it will certainly happen again, so you can watch us, Wrath."
Eve ignores Pride"s comment and shakes her head as she walks towards Sophia. "Little sister, I missed you!"
"Me too..." Sophia smiles and hugs Eve.
"How are you?" Eve asks while checking Sophia"s body. She feels responsible for all her siblings and wants to make sure they are really alright.
Sophia giggles. "We are really fine."
Eve is curious about the loving tone that Sophia says "we" and asks her about that. "We?"
"Yeah." Sophia smiles as she strokes her belly.
Eve doesn"t want to believe that, but Donna confirms her thought. "Luci is going to be a father."
Most of the people there had already understood that, or rather, they were still trying to accept that it is real and very bizarre, but hearing it out loud still shocks them, especially Eve and Pride, who arrived just ago.
Eve still hadn"t accepted the fact that Lucien told her he did that with Sophia, but a child... that"s too crazy. She can"t stop thinking about Sophia"s mother"s expression when she finds out that her daughter is pregnant with her own brother"s child.
"Hahahahaha..." When the mind cannot accept something, it creates distractions to pretend that the problems don"t exist. In Eve"s case, she starts laughing wildly.
"..." Everyone is confused without expecting that reaction from Eve, but Lucien knows his big sis well and is sure that her current state will not last long, and she will probably want to punish him.
Then just as he thought, Eve starts to stop laughing while looking at him with an expression that slowly becomes angry and furious.
"Luci... do you really think it"s right to get your own sister pregnant???!?!?!?!" Eve asks in such a furious tone that Wrath starts to laugh in delight with so much demonic energy flowing.
