Chapter 306 - Next steps

"King?" Luise can't help but exclaim while she finds the idea of Eve not being the Great Queen alone not really good.

Eve looks at Luise with a stern expression. "When did I allow you to speak? Also, don't you think my brother is worthy of being King beside me?"

Luise quickly kneels on the ground while honestly apologizing. "That's not it! I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

But Eve is really upset that Luise interrupted their conversation to disrespect Lucien, and everyone can see that by her expression.

Lucien is already aware that Luise and Elsie are related to Anne, so he obviously doesn't want Eva to hurt them. "It's okay, big sis. She doesn't know me, so it's normal for her to fear that I will disturb you."

"Humph!" Amelia mocks. "These women are incredibly stupid, and their group of ten thousand doesn't stand a chance against brother's two thousand powerful troops."

Lucien's wives keep silent but clearly agree with Amelia's words, mainly because they fought alongside Eve's troops.

Eve does not doubt Lucien's incredible strength, or rather his incredible demonic energy, but she also can't let Amelia look down at her demonic energy.

"This is already overkilling." She comments.

Envy smiles before commenting. "Amelia is right. We already saw that Lucien could fight Pride equally, which would leave the burden of booster your troops to yourself alone, thus making them fight at the level of Mortal Realm first layer at maximum."

L.u.s.t continues. "Meanwhile, Lucien's troops are already in the Mortal Realm with their real power but can fight at the second and third layer level being boosted by his energy. Let alone his wives, who are much more powerful."

Eve looks at L.u.s.t and Envy with a funny expression. "You really like to suck up to him, don't you?"

"Suck? Hehehe..." Envy makes a naughty expression.

L.u.s.t makes a loving expression. "You have no idea."

Eve doesn't know what to think, but then she notices something and gets shocked as she questions Lucien. "What did they mean by your troops bosted? You don't have an aura like me, then... Luci?!?! All of them?!?!?"

Lucien is proud to be able to say that he pleases all his girls, whether they are his wives or troops. However, this is not the time to boast about it, especially to his big sis.

He calmly continues to drink his wine. "There is no point in discussing this kind of thing now. Still, big sis could easily beat me before the battle even started..."

Eve smiles as she receives Lucien's honest compliment and agrees with him. "Yes, we will never fight among ourselves because that is stupid. We have a lot of enemies to focus our fury on."

Upon hearing Eve's words, Amelia can't help remembering that she made the Light Empire army attack Lucien's group. At that time, she was very confused and let herself be manipulated by Envy, thinking that she could force Lucien to give affection to her.

[I'm so stupid!!] She pouts, but then she sees Lucien smiling at her. No matter what happens, she will always be by his side and never make that kind of stupid mistake again.

Lucien starts talking to Eve after L.u.s.t puts a cookie in his mouth. "About our next steps..."

Eve cannot deny that she is starting to become jealous of L.u.s.t's closeness to Lucien, but of course, she won't show that. "As you said, we must go to the continent called Freeldans to conquer all lands in of world and also find the alchemist."

Lucien nods. "Yes, we must leave our mark on this world, though she is not just an alchemist but my mother-in-law too."

Rose giggles while Eve rolls her eyes. "Yeah, yeah. However, I need to finish conquering this continent to leave my right-arm in charge when we leave."

Lucien nods slowly. "You are talking about the Light Empire, right?"

"Yes. So, what are we going to do about your little kingdom? If we are going to unify the continent under one banner, there must be no disagreement between our sevenths." Eve explains.

Lucien smiles at Cassidy as he answers Eve. "Well, if we are going to unite the continent, it will need a capital; a place for everyone and preferably in the central region... Portgreen is the best choice."

Eve agrees. "Make sense. I'll send Ghalenna over there then."

[Ghalenna??] Lucien can't help but notice the similarity of names. Also, he notices Ghilanna becoming apprehensive immediately after hearing that name.

He puts his assumptions to the back of his mind and focuses on the conversation with Eve. "She and Ron can manage the continent together. This will keep people happy and also maintain your fame as Gret Queen, thus generating more demonic energy for you, ok?"

Eve reflects for a few seconds while thinking out loud. "Ron? A man? Hmm... Ghalenna won't be very happy, but she will obey all my orders, so I think it's fine... Is this man really trustworthy?"

Lucien quickly responds. "Yes, he is. He's a really good person and also something very similar to a father-in-law to me."

While Kara blushes, Eve laughs. "Father-in-law? Can you really tell me how many father-in-law and mother-in-law you have?"

Lucien notices many of his wives getting saddened by that conversation, and so he quickly changes the subject. "That's not a number to count. So, what exactly are you going to do with the people of the Light Empire?"

Eve quickly explains. "Pride told me that there are many religions in the universe based on Light, and almost all of them empower the Light God, meaning they are our enemies. Also, they are damn racists, and my Alliance people hate them."

Lucien remembers the last vision he had of Aylin's memories. He increasingly understands more about the Gods and how they are enemies of both demons and dragons, that is, Lucien's two main inheritances.

But of course, the Light God did not directly influence the Light Empire of this world, but Stephan, Dawn's father. He probably had access to some knowledge about Light Religion left by some angel or perhaps a low-level God who passed on this world.

Also, Lucien is not so bloody hungry that he wants to kill the Light Empire's simple people after defeating their main army. Or rather, they are not worth Lucien's time.

But in Eve's case, the situation is different. Completely destroying the Light Empire would make her an even more loved and respected legend for the Alliance people, thus making her generate demonic energy passively even when she is far from Argerim.

Lucien looks at Dawn, behind Amelia. "Maybe you find some good people in the middle of that shit... Dawn, do you want to go with Eve and maybe rescue some of your old friends?"

Dawn quickly shakes her head. "No. I... I only had my father, but all he did was lie to me... Screw the Light God if he exists, and screw those lying people!! I don't want to go back there."

While Amelia hugs Dawn, Luise, Elsie, and other matriarchs near the big table looks at Dawn with very shocked expressions. They never thought they would be in the same place as the Light Empire's great marshal in peace. Everything happening now is totally crazy.

Due to soul connection, Lucien can understand Dawn's feelings better than anyone. She is still very sad about everything that happened, and certainly getting rid of depression would be almost impossible for her.

Still, she has found life more and more interesting with Amelia and Lucien's family. The complicated life of the siblings is unbelievable, and Dawn is very happy to continue following them to an uncertain destiny, but without a doubt, better than the fake life she lived until then.

Lucien smiles tenderly at Dawn, making her heart beat faster as she remembers the warmth of his embrace.

Then he looks at Eve again. "Well, you can kill them all if you want. But I'm not going with you because I have to settle an end in my affairs in the Alliance."

Eve nods. "So, where do we meet later?"

Lucien is a little uncomfortable leaving Eve right after they meet, but he wants to find Rose's mom right away and learn more about how he can help his sisters deal with the Bloody Rose. Also, he doesn't have to worry about Eve's safety as she is more powerful than he right now.

"You will have no problem dealing with the people of the Light Empire, but I will also be quick in the Alliance, so we can meet at the crystal life mine and head to the east continent together," Lucien explains.

"How do I find the mine?" Eve asks.

Lucien quickly responds. "I'm going to send one of my troops to guide you there. Also, I'm going to send a messenger report to Ron about Ghalenna and us. The final details can be worked out before we leave this world."

Eve smiles as she thinks to herself. [Have you thought of everything, don't you? Ahh... my little Luci is already fully grown...]

But of course, Eve maintains a serene expression. "Perfect. I will send someone to warn Ghalenna about this and that she must obey you just as she would do with me; after all, you are my King now."

Lucien and everyone around them notice the possessive way that Eve says Lucien is HER King, and they find each other more and more alike.

The Bloody rose amplifies their feelings, but those feelings have always been there, deep in their hearts. A proud and arrogant big sis like Eve would have no other view of her siblings than a possessive and loving one.

"Then that's it." Lucien takes another sip of wine. "I will have big sh.i.p.s built for you in Portgreen, but I am not sure if you should bring your troops with me. I believe my troops are more than enough. I mean, sometimes a smaller and more powerful group is better."

Eve looks at Lucien's troops next to theirs. It is evident that Lucien's troops seem much more promising. That's because Lucien's energy improves the girls' entire body, even their latent talent, while Pride's aura boosts them significantly, but only for a while.

"Maybe..." Eve makes a thoughtful expression. "What if I use my aura on your troops, Luci? Wouldn't that make them even better?"

Lucien's eyes shine with expectation. "Great idea! If you can have their respect, wouldn't that also be very good for your generation of demonic energy?"

"I think so." Eve nods.

Lucien and Eve see no distinction between their forces. Their individual power is also the collective as they would give their lives to protect each other's lives.

That is the purest family love that anyone can have, and it is the big difference from the previous hosts of the sins, and therefore L.u.s.t, Pride, and Envy do not know how to deal with the new and certainly exiting situation.

L.u.s.t also nods. "Pride's aura plus our energy... This will greatly increase our power."

Amelia and Envy make the same jealous expression while wanting the same thing: Lucien's attention and affection, of course.

But Pride doesn't know how to react besides getting upset. A part of her wants to say that Lucien is right in everything, that he is incredibly powerful, damn handsome, that she could not believe a kiss would drive her crazy, and many other things…

But all that her proud personality allows her to do is make fun of them in Eve's mind. 'Humph! Fools... '
