Lust Knight

Chapter 611 Rise Of The Fierce Battle Maid (2/2)

"So now that we're all ready let's move on." Lucien smiles at Wrath and takes her hand before continuing walking through the corridor toward the stairs.

She is taken aback by his move, but when she feels her hand hold by his, she again gets that feeling that she can share everything with someone, share the burden of that thousands of years old anger.

[To be completely accepted just the way you are...] She remembers Donna's words.

Wrath has never felt this way; what Lucien makes her feel is an incredible pleasure, something far better even than when she's crushing her enemies' skulls.

She can't stop smiling as she is shocked by her own feelings. And well, she's not the only one surprised there; Lust, Envy, and Sloth can't believe what they're seeing.

Lust was the first to encourage Lucien to do that, but even she didn't believe he'd get such results so quickly. "Is this really happening?"

"You mean Wrath walking hand in hand with Lucien like a loving couple??" Envy asks and quickly blinks a few times. "I'm not sure about anything!"

Sloth also has a puzzled expression. "This is so weird..."

Wrath hears those comments and looks at her sisters with a hostile expression. "You are weird!!!"

Her tone sounds really scary and the three Sins disappear, fearing Wrath will destroy everything around them.

"Haha..." Wrath chuckles. As long as she is by Lucien's side, she feels truly invincible. "I didn't expect them to run away so easily... Well, Lust can't go far after all."

Lucien laughs too, but then Envy's voice sounds around him. "I'm still here, you know."

"Me too." Sloth's voice also sounds the same way.

"What?!?" Wrath looks around using her special senses but doesn't see her sisters. Then she remembers something. "Oh, I forgot you have Soul Contracts... shit, can you bitchs stay inside Lucien's soul like Lust??"

"Yeah, they do." Lust's voice sounds in an upset tone. She wouldn't mind sharing the space inside Lucien's soul with Sloth but having Envy in there really sucks.

"Wow!" Wrath makes a strange expression. "Don't you think this is real shit?? I mean, isn't this cheating??"

"Cheating against who?!?" Lust quickly asks.

"You got shit in your head, Wrath???" Envy asks, too, clearly in a sarcastic tone.

"Fuck you!!" Wrath quickly responds but then makes that unusual expression again. "Well, it doesn't matter if Lucien is a hybrid or whatever, no one should be able to make so many Soul Contracts... that seems like cheating against nature itself."

"..." Lucie doesn't know what to say as he listens to the Sins' strange conversation. At least he has the beautiful vision of Wrath in a maid outfit to occupy his mind.

But Lust doesn't like Wrath's words. "Fuck you, Wrath!! Lucien does it with his own power, and it's not easy to share his soul with so many people; it has nothing to do with cheating!!".com

"Although he's like that because of someone..." Sloth comments in her usual slow tone.

"Mm." Envy agrees. "And whatever is behind it, I bet they didn't do it for Lucien's sake."

"Yet-" Lust is about to reply, making the argument even more out of control.

But before she can do that, Lucien speaks first, in a firm tone. "Enough!"

Wrath even trembles with excitement as she feels the power in his tone, and the other Sins get instantly silent.

"Do I need to say the same every time??" He asks in a slightly annoyed tone.

"That kind of speculation doesn't get us anywhere..." Lust is the first to speak, in a sorry tone.

"Fighting between us is not productive…" Sloth continues.

"I will punish bad girls?" Envy asks in her usual teasing tone.

"Hehe..." Wrath lets out a cute laugh.

Lucien ignores Envy and looks at Wrath with a curious expression. "What is so funny?"

She looks at him with a curious, expectant expression. "Do you really punish them?"

"Oh no..." He sighs. "Don't tell me you're like Envy??"

"Like Envy? What do you mean?" Wrath asks.

Before he can speak, Envy starts laughing. "She's the Sin of Wrath; what did you expect?? Someone like Sloth who is okay with doing nothing???"

"..." Sloth doesn't respond to that provocation.

Lucien, on the other hand, is worried that he will eventually have to take care of another hopeless masochist like Envy. "Sigh… I don't want to talk about it, not now."

"And what do you want to talk about?" Wrath asks.

"Hmm..." He makes a thoughtful expression and then brings her hand to his lips before kissing it. "Nothing, I guess; we can just enjoy the time together."

She smiles as she really wants to enjoy that moment. But a few seconds after they continue walking through the long corridors of the house in search of Jeanne, Wrath grows impatient. "Silence sucks..."

Lucien shakes his head. "Alright… well, I'm actually curious about one thing."

Before the Sins asks, he explains. "How do you three feel inside my soul? I mean, are you close or something? And do you see the same things?"

"We don't have a physical body in here, so we're not far or near." Lust quickly explains.

"This is still something new for us..." Sloth continues. "But about what we see, well, we use our special senses to see everything around you, and even though they're similar, we do it in different ways."

"Got it." Lucien comments and then make a thoughtful expression again. "You stay inside your host's souls, don't need to eat or drink, have immortal bodies, travel all sorts of places, meeting new people through the millennia... being a Sin seems pretty nice."

"Hahaha..." Envy starts to laugh. "You seem to like the idea; would you like to be a Sin??"

"Me??" He wonders about that but quickly shakes his head. "I don't think that would work for me; I mean, if I made a Soul Contract with a woman, I'd be inside her watching her... with others... ah, that would be horrible."

His expression gets even worse when he refuses to think about that. "If my Soul Contract was with a man, that would be even worse! No, I couldn't take Lust's place."

Inside his Soul, Lust feels like smiling. She understands how bad that looks even to her, and she doesn't even want to imagine how bad it would have been if she hadn't fallen in love with him. In fact, she feels it would be impossible to do that without Lucien; Their partnership only goes so well because they match perfectly and love each other.

"Why did you imagine yourself as the Sin of Lust?" Sloth asks. "Since we're just imagining an impossible situation, you could imagine yourself as another Sin."

"Another Sin?" He wonders about that. "Like Pride?"

"Why did you think about Pride first???" Lust quickly asks, not hiding the jealousy in her voice.

"Nothing special." He quickly responds but can't contain a teasing smile that drives Lust crazy. "I just think I could be a good Sin of Pride; it has nothing to do with her."

"Or Sin of Envy..." Envy comments.

"How about Sin of Wrath??" Wrath smiles.

Lucien smiles. "Yeah, maybe… I don't know; I still don't think I'd fit well as Sin."

"I disagree." Sloth comments. "Imagine a situation, what if you could go back in time and have as host someone like… Aylin?"

"That seems totally impossible!" Wrath comments. "I mean, why would the proudest dragon ever make a Soul Contract with a demon??"

"Maybe because that demon would be the proudest person ever?" Envy asks sarcastically.

"Something like..." Sloth comments. "Anyway, we're just imagining it, so it doesn't need to make sense at all."

Before the others can say anything, Sloth continues talking to Lucien. "Well, you and Aylin would certainly go well together, and by being the Sin of Pride, you could have her to be yours alone; you would easily make the universe bow to you, leading our races to crush the Gods... you could have everything, literally everything..."

Lucien can't help but imagine that, and the way Sloth speaks it sounds truly incredible; him and Aylin against the universe…

Lust gets upset again. For her, what they have is the most perfect thing ever, so imagining any other scenario seems painful.

Lucien notices Lust's feelings, and he doesn't like to imagine life without her either, so he sighs. "It really sounds impossible..."

When he finishes talking, that's also the moment he arrives in front of Rebecca's workshop. Due to the Soul Contracts with the girls, he can feel that she is in there with Jeanne.

*Knock* *Knock*

He knocks on the door while Wrath stands beside him like a well-behaved maid. She feels like his guardian, and that feels so cool.

"Hey-" Lorelai opens the door as she adjusts her dress, also a maid outfit. When she sees Lucien, she gets surprised. "Master?!?"

"Lorelai..." He smiles at her as he observes how cute she looks in that dress. [Looks like she's also part of the surprise.]

Wrath also notices Lorelai's dress, just as Lorelai notices hers, and they both look at each other thoughtfully.

[Even Wrath is a part of it???] Lorelai is even more shocked as she gets the wrong idea about the situation; the girls' game is not the same as the Sins' game.

While Lorelai is too shocked to speak, Lucien helps her straighten her dress and then kisses her lips. "Can I come in, or are you doing something weird in there??"

"No... I mean, yes... no wrong things... ahhh!!" She panics and quickly moves out of his way. "I was just helping Rebecca with something, nothing special, and..."

She looks at her dress with a sorry expression. "About this... is that..."

He pats her head gently, making her feel relaxed. "It's okay, my dear; you don't need to worry because I didn't see anything. I just want to talk to Jeanne about something before… you know."

"Oh, I see." She smiles before walking towards the door. "Then I'll... you know, hehe..."

"See you soon, sweetheart." He responds, and then she runs down the corridor, clearly to join Anne in the Maid Game.

As she leaves the workshop, Lucien notices Wrath looking at him with an angry expression. "This is something perverted, some weird game, isn't it???"

He shrugs as he does his usual teasing smiles. "I do not know yet."

Wrath wants to be more upset, but Lucien's smile arouses new feelings in her; it's something like getting angry but in a good way.

Yet, she looks at him with a hostile expression. "I'm not playing, you know, right?"

"I know." He quickly responds but then extends his hand to her. "I'm fine with just having you by my side, like a battle maid, fine?"

Wrath doesn't even hesitate before taking Lucien's hand. She is really enjoying that game despite trying to appear otherwise. "Fine..."

"Great." He smiles and then takes her hand. The other Sins can only get jealous, but they're afraid to show up and end up being beat by Wrath.
