Chapter 568 The Family Just Got Bigger
A few minutes ago.
After hugging and kissing Lucien many times, which wasn"t nearly enough to demonstrate how much they missed him, his young wives enter the purple world.
Being back in their comfortable home feels amazing. Even though they stayed in the luxurious and comfortable Sea Devil, nothing is quite as good as the warm home they love so much.
The portal leads to the main hall on the first floor, so little Ko runs upstairs looking for her mother.
Ella flaps her wings and jumps onto the large sofa in the center of the room before Mia jumps in beside her.
The girls let out a relieved sigh before laying back, relaxed on the sofa, and starting to sniff Lucien"s scent on the pillows. They can spend the whole day that way and compete directly with Sophia and Sloth for the laziest girls" t.i.tle.
"It feels so good to be back home..." Mia comments.
"And wait for hubby to come and fill us with his love," Ella responds.
"We"d better get ready for it..." Lena speaks before walking towards the kitchen.
She and the other girls usually try hard to make the best food possible when they"re with Lucien. But when they got away from him, they were barely hungry, let alone want to cook.
Marie notices her sister"s intention and quickly runs into the kitchen after her. "Don"t eat everything you find; wait for me!"
Ghilanna and Neola go to the garden because they misses the plants they planted there with Lucien.
Kara would also like to go out in the garden, pick some vegetables and prepare a meal for Lucien. But she currently can"t help noticing how messed up the house is.
Due to the house"s magical enchantments, nothing keeps broken there, except for the extra furniture the girls bring from the outside world. So what looks like a mess in Kara"s eyes is just a little dust and a few things out of place.
For her, the house she and the other girls share with Lucien must always be perfectly clean and tidy. And since that kind of work is the only thing she thinks she can do, she tries to do that as best as possible so that no one is better at that than she on that job.
So she doesn"t waste a second before pulling a broom out of her storage ring and starting to clean up every grain of sand in front of her.
The other girls also start walking around the house. Anne and Elsie take a relaxing bath in the great bathroom on the fifth floor.
Kylee and Lorelai go satiate the missing for their individual bedrooms. And Rebecca goes to her workshop to turn some ideas into projects.
The gigantic house that looked so empty a minute ago is back to being as lively as Lucien likes it to be.
And in his grand bedroom, another daughter and mother are reunited when Ko jumps on top of Oya and wakes her from sleep with a wonderful surprise.
"*Meow, meow, meow!!*" She makes cute sounds as she licks and bites her mother"s ears. They are both in tiger-form since they prefer it that way and use the demi-human form mostly when they"re with Lucien.
Oya is thrilled and starts licking Ko"s fur as well and even demonstrates her feelings with loving roars. "*Roar!*"
And even though they are in a deep sleep, the other girls in bed quickly wake up. Helena is already used to the loud sounds of Oya, but the mother-daughter Naga pair get a bit scared.
"What the h.e.l.l is happening?!?" Kamala is not used to having her sleep interrupted and gets a little upset.
Mira tries to understand what"s going on, but her heart fills with love when she sees the sweet scene between Oya and Ko. "Oh, what an adorable little tigress..."
By seeing the two beautiful white tigresses together, there is no doubt that they are mother and daughter. But the fact that they both have blue eyes like Lucien"s makes Mira have the wrong idea. "Wait! Is her... his daughter?"
"*Meow!*" Little Ko makes a cute sound of agreement. She recognizes that word and knows that people often a.s.sociate it with deep bonds of love, so she really enjoys being the daughter of her beloved Master.
While Mira and Kamala are shocked, Helena laughs. "Actually, they joined Lucien this way already. But yeah, he really does treat her as his own daughter, with a few extra benefits..."
Mira doesn"t really know if she is relieved that Lucien doesn"t have a daughter that age. That only makes him look even younger, but he has already awakened in her a desire to have more children.
Kamala, on the other hand, doesn"t think about motherhood even seeing the cute little Ko. She just wants to enjoy many thousand years with Lucien without having to worry about any responsibilities. She can undoubtedly join Ella and Mia in the spoiled and lazy girl group.
"Wait!" Mira looks at the bedroom door with a perplexed expression. "How did the little tigress get here??"
Helena is already putting on clothes as she climbs off the big bed. "Looks like the group is back together... come on, you"ll meet your new sisters."
[New sisters...] Those words echo in Mira and Kamala"s minds. They obviously knew he had other wives, but none of his girls can really say that they like to share his attention with other girls, especially a lot of them.
While Oya and Ko roll over the bed like playful cats, the other girls finish putting on clothes and leave the room.
As they walk down the hall, the girls hear noises in the great bathroom, and Mira becomes even more thoughtful as she talks to Helena. "Hmm… how many new sisters did you talk about?"
Helena knows that even though Lucien loves having a big family, Mira and Kamala will be shocked when seeing all of his wives.
And even though she already has a beautiful friends.h.i.+p with the mother-daughter Naga pair, they are the new members of the group, and they have increased the number of wives with whom she will have to share her beloved husband"s attention.
So to get a little revenge, Helena doesn"t say the exact number of sisters Mira and Kamala have now. "Why don"t you try to guess?"
Kamala pouts, upset at that answer. But Mira understands Helena"s situation; if it weren"t for her and her daughter, the fallen angel would only have to share Lucien with Oya for days, so she doesn"t get upset.
"Hmm..." Mira is happily surprised when they reach the bathroom door to greet the other girls and only see Anne and Elsie there. "Oh, that"s two fox-girls..."
They just exchange names and a few words before continuing down the hall. Helena looks at Mira with a teasing expression. "Do you have any idea how many they are already?"
She really wants to answer two but knows that would be too good to be true. "It"s not two, right?"
"Definitely not! Hahaha..." Helena can"t help but laugh. "What do you mean by Lucien only having two more wives? He already had more than that in the first two hours after signing his soul contract with l.u.s.t."
Kamala bows her head like a dog that has fallen from a moving truck. But Mira already expected something like that since Lucien is so excellent that he couldn"t stop so many amazing women from being attracted toward him like bugs going to the light on a cold day.
The group soon arrives at the stairs and can hear excited girl noises all over the house; the place feels so warm, happy, and lively.
As they descend the stairs, they meet more girls and exchange names and friendly greetings. No one there really likes to share, but once they choose to live with Lucien, they agree to become part of his family. And having many sisters also has advantages.
Once the group arrives in the main hall on the first floor, Mira and Kamala are even more shocked. There are already so many girls around the house, but they still hear voices coming from the garden.
Kamala was always an only child and only really had her mother as a friend. So even though she"s concerned about having less time with Lucien, she can"t help but be excited to develop friends.h.i.+ps with her new sisters.
Mira would like to think that way too, but there"s a problem that"s scaring her. "Why do they all look so young?? I didn"t think little girls was her type, you know..."
"Hahahaha..." Helena can"t help but laugh as Mia, and the other girls make upset expressions. "Little girls are definitely not his type. But he doesn"t love them any less because they aren"t mature enough yet."
"Oh…" Mira sighs in relief. She still remembers Lucien"s fascinated expression the first time he saw her and that it elevated her ego in an incredibly pleasurable way. It would be a heavy blow for her if he preferred young girls over mature ones.
"Our mothers are out there," Ella explains with a friendly smile on her face. "They"re going to discuss important things, and we prefer to leave that sort of thing to them alone."
Ella also shares the feelings of Mia and the other young girls. They can"t help but feel upset that Lucien finds their mothers s.e.xier than they. But that"s not really a problem since they are young now, but one day they will become charming mature women, which will balance the game.
Before Mira tries to praise the young girls for being so charming at such an age, she hears Lucien"s voice in her mind. "I need your help, my dear."
"I have to go..." She comments and then looks at Kamala. "How about staying here and improving the bonds with your new sisters?"
Kamala looks at the girls in the hall and feels a little sad because of their age difference. From their aura, she can sense that they are all under 100 while she is already 600.
She gets shy and takes Mira"s hand. "I want to go with you."
Mira sighs and then smiles at the other girls. "Sorry, she"s so shy… we"ll see you later."
Then they head to the portal, followed by Helena, leaving the other girls with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
As soon as they pa.s.s through the portal, Mia throws a pillow at the wall and huffs in anger, or rather envy. "d.a.m.n it!!"
"What"s the problem?" Ella asks. "They seemed like good people... and hubby wouldn"t bring them into our family if they weren"t really nice."
"That"s not the problem." Mia crosses her arms.
"So, what is it?" The happy, silly harpy asks.
"You do not understand!??" Mia points to Ella"s feathers. "You have these fluffy feathers, and those snakes have beautiful tails... it"s that hubby likes exotic things, and I"m just a normal human."
Ella doesn"t know what to say, but the blue-haired sisters return from the kitchen, and Lena shakes her head. "I saw those women... the charming mature beauty has more exotic characteristics than just the snake tail, and she also has that royal aura..."
Marie nods before looking at Mia with an expression of rivalry. "And you can"t complain about something like that! You were the first of us to accept Lucien as your husband, and he will always have a special affection for you because of that. I, on the other hand, was an idiot to him..."
"Hey!" Kara appears on the stairs with a duster in one hand and Lucien"s underwear in the other. "Why are you silly girls fighting? We"re in the same boat... the group of not mature girls, so why not cooperate with each other?"
"Cooperate?" Mia asks. "What is in your mind?"
Kara"s eyes sparkle as she makes a thoughtful expression and sniffs Lucien"s underwear. "Hmmm, let me think..."
The other girls laugh, and Lena comments. "The naughty maid can only think of naughty things, of course."
