Lust Knight - Chapter 708

"..." Nea finds herself feeling like a young girl who has just been scolded by her older sisters.

She quickly discovers that standing between Lucien and his lovers can be as perilous as a war between races.

Nea also can’t help but feel embarrassed while listening to Naomi, Claire, and Amelia’s complaints, especially for such a reason.

She thinks that the steam and water of the pool can conceal her flushed expression, but Lucien uses his vision ability and notices it, a lovely surprise.

He slowly enters the pool and begins to enjoy that warm and magical water. It is evident that Nea has truly taken them to one of the best baths in the castle.

A tense silence hangs in the air, and only the movements of Lucien in the pool can be heard, but three other movements quickly emerge, and it doesn’t take a genius to understand what is happening.

Amelia, Naomi, and Claire quickly approach Lucien, trying to get their share of him.

And the three reach him at the same time, which leaves them very happy.

"Lucien..." Amelia extends her delicate hands to hold one of Lucien’s arms.

"Brother..." Claire doesn’t want to be left out and tries to hold his other arm while making a pleading expression.

"Little brother!!" Naomi is the most voracious and tries to jump into Lucien’s arms, forcing him to hug her.

*SPLASH* *SPLASH!* *SPLASH!!!*

Three *SPLASHES* sounds announce the failure of the three sisters to touch Lucien.

"What??!"

"HOW???"

"THE FUCK!?"

The three are shocked as they pass through Lucien’s body and fall face-first into the water.

They don’t need to think much to understand what just happened. The illusory Lucien can only be the work of one person, and they quickly express their dissatisfaction with her.

"SOPHIA!!!"

But Sophia doesn’t care about her sisters’ anger; she is now busy pulling Lucien by the hand towards a corner of the large pool.

Lucien can only laugh as he follows Sophia. But he still speaks on behalf of his other sisters. "You shouldn’t be using this ability to make our sisters look foolish."

"They don’t need my help to look foolish." Sophia giggles, leaving Amelia, Claire, and Naomi even more annoyed.

Eve shakes her head disapprovingly, while Donna is more interested in learning from Sophia how to have Lucien’s attention all to herself.

Lucien just wants to relax for a bit now, and Sophia is perfect for that.

Instead of wanting him to take care of her like the selfish trio of sisters, Sophia takes him to a corner of the pool and begins to wash his body gently.

She materializes a soft sponge with her demonic energy and runs it over Lucien’s body with a tender and gentle touch.

He simply lets his body sink into the pool under Sophia’s care.

"This feels good..." He feels his body becoming so light.

Sophia smiles and places tender kisses on his body. "It is the duty of a loving wife to take care of her husband."

Lucien can’t help but love Sophia even more for being so loving and devoted. Even her needs are easy to please compared to girls like Amelia.

For a few minutes, he manages to forget all the troubles with Sophia’s gentle and affectionate touch.

The other women in the pool know that he deserves a break, and no one interrupts their moment.

But eventually, Lucien resurfaces in the pool and leans his back against the wall. Still in the water with Sophia in his arms, he begins to caress her growing belly.

Lust said that the pregnancy of Royal Dragons can take tens or even hundreds of years, but Sophia’s belly grows larger each day.

Lucien still can’t hear the child inside Sophia due to the powerful magical barrier that protects dragon babies, but touching her belly makes him think that the birth is not too far away.

Even without Lucien’s touch, his other sisters enjoy the hot bath as much as Mira and Nea. Everyone wants the moment of peace to last longer, so no one says anything.

Time passes quickly, and before the group realizes it, another half an hour has passed. Then they hear the large doors of the bathroom being opened.

"Ah, there you are!" Saria comments in a tired tone as she enters the bathroom alongside Maya.

The Phoenix feels very comfortable in the room filled with hot steam and the scent of flowers. She usually doesn’t like being in the water, but a nice hot bath seems nice.

Saria quickly enters the pool with her clothes on since her clothes are made to be underwater.

But Maya has had many of her clothes destroyed, so she wants to keep that one dry. She begins to undress completely before entering the pool.

Nea notices that and quickly speaks to her friend. "You know that Lucien is here, right?"

"Ah?!" Maya can’t see Lucien through the dense vapor and quickly stops undressing.

"Really?" Lucien asks in a disappointed tone. "Damn, Maya, you were naked in my arms less than an hour ago; how can you be so shy now?"

Maya becomes even more embarrassed. Hundreds of thousands of years didn’t prepare her for Lucien.

"If you mention that again, I’m leaving!" She exclaims.

"Okay, okay..." Lucien responds.

Maya bites her lip before quickly entering the pool. She stands next to Nea in an attempt to keep Lucien from seeing her in her underwear, but nothing escapes his vision ability.

Saria goes to Claire’s side, and they greet each other with friendly smiles. Their friendship is still very strong, even though they are rivals when it comes to getting Lucien’s attention.

Everyone settles at the edges of the pool, and since it is round, everyone can have a good view of each other when Nea uses her magic to reduce the vapor.

"I think everyone is here..." Nea comments.

"What about the Sins?" Maya asks.

"They are always with us, listening to everything," Naomi responds.

"And talking in our heads," Donna comments in a disgruntled tone.

"I see," Nea comments and then looks at Saria. "How is the Scout network going?"

Saria quickly reports, "They are expanding the coverage as fast as possible, but we already have everything within a five-hundred-mile radius in all directions under surveillance; communication is good, and Ramla will alert us of any enemy that appears."

"Good," Nea nods. "What about the troops and our people?"

"Everyone is happy with Tyrion’s death..." Saria pauses and wears a concerned expression. "But everyone is anxious to know what comes next."

"Uhm..." Nea looks at Lucien with a curious expression. "So, what comes next?"

Lucien caresses Sophia’s belly once more and kisses her cheek before refocusing on the issues at hand.

"This Scout network will only serve to warn us of the inevitable..." He explains. "We don’t know what the Leviathan will do, and we currently can’t stop her."

Nea can sense how concerned Lucien is about the Leviathan. He is not afraid of the creature and can keep his wives safe in the Purple World, so his worries lie in the safety of the Mermaids and Nagas.

On the other hand, Saria seems to have even more faith in Lucien. Her eyes literally sparkle with anticipation.

"Many doubted that you could kill Tyrion, but you worked a miracle," she speaks. "Perhaps you can work a miracle again?"

"The Sins don’t know the power level of the Leviathan," Eve comments. "Tyrion was at the very beginning of the Cosmic Realm, but the creature could be in the second layer or even stronger."

"And the difference of one layer inside the Cosmic Realm can mean an enormous difference, several times more power," Maya adds.

Everyone wonders about that, so Mira voices her opinion. "What about the chance that the Leviathan doesn’t intend to harm ordinary people?"

"It makes sense, but..." Nea looks at Lucien.

He would like to help Nea and Mira strengthen their races now, but he doesn’t have the power to deal with such a creature at the moment.

"Even if she doesn’t intend to harm the Mermaids and Nagas, my presence here could put everyone in danger," he explains.

Mira and Nea agree with that, but Saria becomes worried. "Wait, do you already want to leave?"

Lucien definitely doesn’t want to abandon the Blue Star. Despite this planet being almost entirely made of water, he feels very comfortable here, especially among the Mermaids, who are such a gentle and loyal people.

Nea understands that Lucien is involved in much larger matters than the Blue Star, but she can’t help but feel frustrated.

"We all know the reason that brought you here," she thinks aloud and instinctively looks at Maya.

"..." Maya doesn’t know what to say. Despite being naturally naive, even she can’t ignore the fact that Lucien and the Sins may have ulterior motives concerning her.

A strange silence hangs in the tense atmosphere, and everyone exchanges thoughtful glances. Maya can’t help but look at Naomi and wonder if their friendship was founded on a lie.

Lucien notices their stares and knows he needs to say something. "To be honest, Naomi and Claire didn’t know about you, Maya."

"But you knew..." She looks into his eyes.

He nods. "And yet, my primary goal in coming here was to reunite my family."

Maya has never felt so conflicted in her existence. Everyone knows well that the Seven Deadly Sins are extremely dangerous individuals who will do anything to achieve their selfish goals.

But in contrast, Lucien and his sisters seem so trustworthy.
