Chapter 573 A Useful Servant?

"MASTEEERRR!!!" Valencia"s voice echoes for miles, generating waves over the surface of the sea.

Her tone is a mixture of joy, excitement, and hope, but also of desire, pleading, and despair, which leaves thousands of Mermaids very confused.

Lucien"s wives have an idea why she is kissing his feet, but not even he can fully understand her. Only l.u.s.t understands what it is like to feel too much pleasure and then to be deprived of that pleasure.

She can understand that because of her connection to pleasure in general, but only Valencia had much of Lucien"s demonic energy for just a short period of time before the abstinence crisis.

Being unable to see him, smelling his fragrance, and drinking his essence was a kind of torture that Valencia never thought existed. That broke her body and her mind as well.

And now, being able to be with him again is as good as it is excruciating because that doesn"t mean Valencia is going to get what she wants. The worst part is that she can see the contempt in his eyes, which hurts her even more.

"Master!! How can you feel nothing for me?!?!" She asks in desperation. "I know what we had was quick, but... but that changed my life!"

"..." Lucien sighs as he doesn"t know what to do. He could have avoided this problem if he had killed Valencia when he had the chance. If she had tried to hurt his loved ones, he would have killed her. But as she only tried to control him, that wasn"t enough to make him feel real anger at her, just pity.

Playing with her should have been punishment enough to teach her a situation. But now, she seems determined to follow him no matter what. And he doesn"t want to kill her just because she"s in love with him.

Lucien"s lack of reaction and his pitying expression make Valencia even worse. She starts crying at his feet. "Master... please, accept the loyalty of this humble servant!"

[Why is this happening... why did you just use me...] As she reflects on that, a bit of clarity comes to Valencia"s mind, and she realizes that she"s already experienced that situation dozens of times.

[Is this... familiar?] Familiar is exactly what that situation means. However, Valencia was never the person begging in tears on the floor, but the one who had a contemptuous look on a cold face.

Only now did she understand how all the men she tortured for pleasure felt when she despised them like broken toys. And she did that many times; in the end, they all cried, begged for their lives, and claimed to be her loyal servants, even willing to be her submissive s.e.x slaves forever.

[They just wanted to live...] Valencia feels precisely that way. Though Lucien isn"t threatening her life as she did to her slaves, she knows she can"t live without him and his essence.

The scene of Valencia begging in tears moves the hearts of women around. Lucien"s wives have not forgotten their pasts and how some of them even attack him.

But whatever happened, after meeting him, they all changed. That wasn"t brainwashed or changed their personality, but it was just him, showing them a new goal, one worth doing anything as that can give them everything they need to be the happiest women ever.

With that thought in mind, Lucien"s wives can"t help but feel that Valencia deserves a s.p.a.ce beside him. That position doesn"t need to be as his wife, concubine, or even soldier; starting as his servant or even a pet would be enough for her to be happy. And with any fraction of his attention, she could become a good person, a loyal follower.

"Come on; you"re a grown woman!" Maya can"t keep seeing that torturous scene and tries to help Valencia get up.

Not even old feuds between the people of the Rising Phoenix Clan and the Black Sea Riders stop Maya from trying to help Valencia. Her heart can easily burn with anger at times, but she remains a pure and gentle creature.

"NO!!" But Valencia refuses to stop holding Lucien"s legs. "He is my Master! And no one can push me away from him!!!"

Maya keeps trying to help Valencia regain some self-pride, but she can"t stop trying to be accepted by Lucien.

Olivia, one of Lucien"s wives who most regrets having had bad intentions towards him, takes pity on Valencia and joins Maya in an attempt to help the poor woman.

"Get up, woman! Keeping wetting his feet with your tears isn"t going to help you at all." Olivia comments as she tries to lift Valencia.

But then her eyes meet Lucien"s, and he notices that both she and all of his other wives over there feels sorry for Valencia.

He can"t say he really feels sorry for her. Yet, just as he asked Nea for a chance to prove he"s useful, may Valencia deserves a chance too.

"Alright..." He sighs and then extends a hand to the poor tearful woman. "I won"t kick you like a stinky dog; you can stop crying and dirtying the deck of my s.h.i.+p."

Valencia quickly holds his hand, but she also uses her other hand to wipe her tears off the floor with her clothes. "For sure, Master!! This servant will never leave the deck or any other part of the Master"s s.h.i.+p dirty!"

"You"re going to get in trouble with Kara if you try it so hard, hahaha…" Lucien starts to laugh, but Valencia wants to cry at the slight idea of getting in trouble with any of his wives.

"No, no, no..." She shakes her head with a worried expression. "This humble servant will do nothing wrong, Master!"

"I hope so..." He comments as he strokes her face. She can"t help but feel a lot of pleasure with just his touch, but then it gets even better when his caresses get even harder, and he sticks his thumb in her mouth.

Without any kindness, he moves his thumb inside Valencia"s mouth, driving her crazy. That scene quickly gets weird, and his sisters and some of the other girls even turn their faces away.

Maya is baffled as she has never seen anything like that. But Astrid, Scarlett, and especially Envy can"t help but be h.o.r.n.y, just as Valencia.

"Hmm... good girl..." Lucien smiles teasingly at Valencia and slaps her face with the back of his other hand. "If you behave well and don"t make trouble, I can give you something later..."

"R-r-r-eally? C-could t-that... b-de aaa... reward???" She asks as she has a hard time speaking with her tongue dancing around his thumb.

She can"t help but imagine that it"s another part of his body because even though it smells and tastes really good, nothing can be compared to his c.o.c.k.

"Reward? Hmmm..." Lucien speaks sarcastically and then opens Valencia"s mouth with his finger while opening his mouth and letting a thick drop of saliva run down his lip.

That scene seems to go in slow motion for Valencia. She"s already getting his demonic energy through that hard caressing, but she craves that drop of saliva as much as someone dying of thirst craves a gla.s.s of fresh water.

She stands still and lets him keep her mouth open as the drop of saliva slowly falls into her mouth and touches her tongue, melting and giving her so much pleasure that she can"t stop wetting the deck again, but not with tears.

[The h.e.l.l?!?!] Maya can"t believe the scene she"s seeing. She sees no sense in Valencia seeming so happy with Lucien humiliating her like that.

But while other girls just understand how good Valencia feels, two of them are burning with jealousy of her right now.

The first is Gluttony, who would be okay with drinking that drop of saliva even if it pa.s.sed over anywhere before reaching her mouth. That looks so deliciously sinful that it drives her completely crazy just by watching.

The second is clearly Envy, who wishes she could experience that drop of saliva in exactly that way, or even in even more humiliating ways. That just reminds her how much she misses the crazy s.e.x sessions with her sinful husband.

Lucien notices the sparkling eyes and excited expressions of the two naughty Sins. He ignores the hungry little one, but he can"t ignore the needs of his beloved jealous little wife.

"You can have as much as you want of this tonight…" He speaks to Envy mentally.

"I can barely wait!" She quickly responds, so her tone becomes both tender and h.o.r.n.y. "I couldn"t stop imagining you doing cruel things to me… I missed you so much... hubby."

Lucien understands that different types of women have different and varied kinds of fetishes, but he still gets surprised by the Sins. "You have serious problems, Envy."

"Yeah, baby, I"m a broken woman too..." She comments in a weird tone. "And only you can fix me, hehehe..."

He winks at her, making her even hornier, then he looks at Valencia and the tricky liquid running down her legs with a fake upset expression. "You"re going to clean this mess up, right?"

"Right now, Master!!" Valencia quickly starts cleaning her love juices from the deck as she enjoys the taste of Lucien"s saliva in her mouth. Her smile is bright, and her mind is full of hopes for a future alongside her beloved Master.

Lucien shakes his head and stops playing with the poor woman. Then he walks toward the table in the center of the deck, pa.s.sing near Maya. Their eyes meet for a second, and they both can"t help but have conflicting thoughts about each other.

He can"t help but think that Maya seems too good and pure for the reality of the universe. Except for the few foggy years of his childhood that he spent with his mother, his life has been a mess.

He and his sisters had to hold each other"s hands tight to survive the h.e.l.l that was life in the mountain fortress under Michael"s brutal training.

And after breaking free from their father, they discover that they are being manipulated by mysterious figures in the shadows, hunted by a Leviathan, and at war with powerful people like an idiot Cosmic Realm tyrant.

New problems appear every moment, and they have to kill an innocent and pure person to get her magic core so that their own chaotic feelings don"t drive them crazy, leading them to a horrible death.

No matter which way Lucien looks, the universe is full of people who are either naturally evil or become corrupted, growing ever more sinful.

So, how could a creature as pure as Maya, in the midst of so much trash and dirt, continue to live peacefully? Well, except for her, all her race was extinct due to them being that way.

Maya, on the other hand, doesn"t understand how Lucien can be that way. He looked so loving and kind when he was hugging his wives, but then he quickly became a sinful and depraved devil.

He looks so pa.s.sionate, devoted, and caring, but also so provocative, seductive, and cruel. She simply can"t a.n.a.lyze his character and understand why so many women love him so much.

[How can she be like this???]

[How can he be like this???]

They think at the same time, and as Maya helps Valencia clean up that mess, Lucien comes to the front of the table and picks a gla.s.s.

Before he can reach for the bottle of wine, Olivia gets it to fill his gla.s.s while smiling. "I think you did well, hubby. Any woman has the potential to be a good woman if she is given a proper opportunity."

"Especially when she"s so motivated..." Scarlett hugs Lucien"s arm and kisses his cheek.

He takes a sip of wine before putting the gla.s.s back on the table and then caresses Olivia and Scarlett"s faces. "I remember when you two fought like cat and dog... look at you now, good sisters who support each other."

Scarlett giggles while Olivia makes a thoughtful expression. "I think that only in times of darkness does the light within us s.h.i.+ne brighter."

Lucien smiles and kisses their lips. "I hope the light inside us is enough to beat all the darkness that"s coming..."

Surprising them, a flash of light appears in front of Lucien, and as soon as they understand what"s going on, they see Pride sitting on the edge of the table, running her finger on the edge of Lucien"s gla.s.s.

"If it"s just about light, I guarantee we"ll have enough..." She provocatively smiles at him. "Or else we"re going to have to produce more, you know..."
