Lust Knight

Chapter 108 - Warrior Queen

Warm; Fragrant; Comfortable; Safe; Excellent...

Angela, who had her eyes closed, felt only good emotions in Lucien’s embrace.

Her rational thoughts were pushed to the back of her mind... She felt like a young and lively girl.

Then Lucien stopped hugging and patting her, making Angela return to reality, where she is an old woman and aware that not everything is a fairy tale.

"Well, we’ll talk later because now we have to resolve another matter." Lucien held out his hand to Cassidy, and she took his arm lovingly as a caring wife.

Angela couldn’t help thinking that she was not much older than Cassidy, and still, she is very happy with Lucien.

Then she shook her head, trying to forget those thoughts as she is sure Lucien was just playing with her.

Lucien left the room with Cassidy and L.u.s.t, leaving Angela with a thoughtful look, and Ron with a smile on his face.

Angela noticed Ron’s smile and couldn’t help but think aloud. "You know he’s just teasing me."

Ron loved Angela as Queen and family, so he wanted the best for her, as long as it didn’t hurt Bluewind people. "Maybe he just wants to keep your family together. I do not see how it could be bad, my Lady."

A part of Angela wanted to follow Lucien along with Marie, but there were so many things that made this idea seem impossible.

"Let’s focus on the current problems. Send your spies to find any wizard with decent abilities to help us with the golems tomorrow."

Ron left the room to follow Angela’s orders, leaving her again with a thoughtful look on her beautiful face.

--------------------------

Lucian received a mental message from Astrid about Olivia and Scarlett being ready. He headed toward the large training room on the fourth floor.

Cassidy held one of his arms while L.u.s.t held the other. Lucien knew that of all his women, Cassidy has the "most vengeful" personality, so he really wanted them to get along.

L.u.s.t could sense Lucien’s intention, but she would still say it if she didn’t agree with the proud Queen. And the subject of Olivia and Scarlett is complicated.

"Cassidy... I know you suffered because of their ambition, but I just want to remind you that having them alive would be useful for us to get Portgreen back more easily."

Before Cassidy responds, Lucien spoke first. "She is not stupid, but they are her enemies, and the final decision will be hers."

Cassidy couldn’t help but smile. She felt a little intimidated when L.u.s.t appeared out of nowhere and claiming to be the first wife, but in the end, Lucien treats them all with the same respect and affection.

Still, she wanted to explain how she felt to Lucien. "After my old- that despicable trash ran away with half my soldiers, I knew I would lose."

"So I wanted to at least die in combat like my father and also allow Mia to be taken to a safe place. But I was betrayed again and poisoned..." It was uncomfortable for Cassidy to speak about the past, but beside Lucien, she felt completely good and happy.

"Thanks to Astrid, who stayed back, allowing Mia to help me escape... I was never so humiliated in my life, and my father would be disappointed with me..."

"But now that I’m fine, I want to have the fight that I couldn’t have that day and show these snakes their place."

Lucien hugged Cassidy tighter and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I was not there to help you in the past, but now I am on your side, and I will always support you."

L.u.s.t couldn’t help but regret saying that. She wanted to give her opinion, but it was unnecessary because Cassidy is an intelligent woman who knows how to make smart decisions.

Also, the beautiful Queen knows how to make Lucien pay attention to her even without her asking for it.

Now L.u.s.t could only watch Lucien and Cassidy’s romantic moment while they went to the training room.

As soon as they entered the room, Cassidy saw her enemies sitting in the center of the mat. Astrid was sitting on a chair in the corner of the room next to Rose, Maggie, and Mia.

Scarlett, like Olivia, had a bath and dressed in simple clothes that Astrid had given them. She gazed at Lucien with a thoughtful look before looking seriously at Cassidy.

Olivia also gazed at them, but she still wore the mask, which covered her face, so there was no way to know her expression. Still, Lucien was sure it would be an angry face.

Lucien walked to the corner of the room with L.u.s.t as Cassidy approached the center. She stood in front of Scarlett and Olivia, then calmly spoke.

"You planned and conspired to kill me. I could just execute you... But I will give you a chance. Beat me in combat, and I’ll let you go free."

"?!?!?!" Not only were Olivia and Scarlett surprised, but also other people in the room, including Aria, Marie, Anne, and Lena, who were entering the room.

Lucien, Mia, and Astrid had the same expression on their faces. A proud smile. Lucien heard from Mia how Cassidy was a good warrior before she was poisoned, so he expected to see a good show.

Olivia is too proud to say anything, but Scarlett would not miss a good opportunity to get some advantage.

"You must have received the same benefits from Lucien as the manticore-woman, so wouldn’t that be unfair?"

Cassidy expected something like that from Scarlett. After all, the smart mercenary was responsible for corrupting almost half of her soldiers, including people Cassidy did not know, such as the knight who shot the poisoned bolt at her.

"You can face me together. I will also let you use your weapons. Does it still seem unfair, or do you also want me to fight blindfolded?"

Scarlett knew that defeating Cassidy in solo combat would be almost impossible, but with Olivia, there was a chance. Of course, if Olivia cooperates with her.

"Olivia, we hav-" Scarlett tried to convince Olivia to fight by her side, but the stubborn Guild leader has many resentments against her, plus her foolish pride.

"I’d rather die in that filthy cell than cooperate with you... Also, do you really think she’ll let us go just like that? Your-"

Cassidy didn’t like Olivia’s reaction. After conspiring and corrupting soldiers, even paying her husband to abandon her, Olivia was playing the victim now.

*Woosh*

*Crack* *Smash*

With surprising speed, Cassidy punched Olivia. Her fist causes the tough mask to crack, and less than a second later, it broke into hundreds of pieces.

Cassidy’s fist continued, hitting Olivia in the face and throwing her several feet back until she hit the room wall.

Olivia fell to the floor, still in great pain, but the worst was the humiliation of being treated like trash.

Lucien could see the whole scene in slow motion with his higher senses. He was not surprised by Cassidy’s strength and speed as she is the woman who has most benefited from his "love."

What really surprised Lucien was Olivia’s face. Although Astrid already said that she had severe scars, he was still surprised that her scars were really brutal and deep.

Lucien concluded that Olivia did not wear the mask for aesthetics, but because everyone who saw her mutilated face would be very sorry for her, which would be an insult to her natural pride.

"Get ready, or I’ll kick your shitty face to death." Cassidy’s words were as a thorn in Olivia’s heart.

"Let’s do it." Olivia licked her lips, removing the blood from her wounds caused by Cassidy’s blow. Then she walked towards the room’s center again.

Lucien took Scarlett’s saber and Olivia’s daggers from his storage ring and thrown it in front of them. As Olivia and Scarlett picked up their weapons from the floor and prepared, Cassidy smiled at Lucien with a confident look.

Scarlett went into combat posture and focused her senses as she surrounded Cassidy. She would have attacked at the moment she picked up her weapon, but she knew that any dishonest move would be impossible with Lucien around.

Olivia also went into a combat posture and surrounded Cassidy on the other side. She didn’t like the idea of cooperating with Scarlett, but now she was just angry at Cassidy.

Cassidy arched her body as if she were doing a morning stretch. Then she stretched out her hands, and a training staff came out from her storage ring.

Unlike Scarlett and Olivia’s sharp weapons, Cassidy’s staff was not as suitable for deadly combat. It has no sharp point and is made of wood.

As Cassidy calmly spun her staff in the air, Scarlett had more hopes of living while Olivia just got angrier. She saw Cassidy’s weapon as another hit to her already hurt ego.

"What are you waiting for? If I attack first, the fight will be over in a second, and my husband will not have a show to see." Cassidy can’t help but provoke her hated enemies more.

Olivia knew it was a provocation, but they had the advantage of being in two against one, so she didn’t wait any longer and attacked Cassidy.

Although Cassidy has always been recognized for her incredible strength, her speed has never been something to be proud of. Of course, that was before she received Lucien’s love.

Now all of her physical abilities were already at the SS-rank level, and even though her agility was still one of her secondary attributes, she is already faster than Oliva and Scarlett.

Olivia ran to Cassidy, pointing one of her long daggers. She assumed Cassidy would try to attack her with the staff, so she would dodge and use the other dagger to hurt her.

*Woosh*

Cassidy did not attack Olivia but dodged with a short step aside. Olivia tried to attack with her other dagger, but Cassidy hit her wrist, causing Olivia to lose her dagger and balance, falling with a shocked expression on her face.

"Too slow." Before Olivia hit the ground, Cassidy jumped to dodge the horizontal stroke of Scarlett’s long saber.

Then, still in the air, Cassidy hit the wooden staff on Scarlett’s back and sent her to the floor.

*Pah* *Pah*

Cassidy landed on the floor and quickly hit the back of Olivia, who was trying to get up, making them both m.o.a.n almost at the same time.

"AH!"

"ARH!"

Cassidy’s movements were extremely agile and precise, leaving almost everyone in the room surprised.

Lucien had a wide smile on his face. He knew that Cassidy was not using all her speed, and he could already imagine how powerful she would be when she reached the Mortal Realm, which would not take long at the pace that they have love sessions.

Losing without being able to fight because betrayals was very humiliating for Cassidy, so she would make Olivia and Scarlett pay for that, as well as the others involved.

"GET UP!! Or do you need help? Is this the power of the guild leader and the leader of the strongest mercenary group?"

Scarlett was the first to get up. Although she was hit with a strong blow, it was still done by a wooden staff and did not cause serious wounds to her.

As Cassidy was standing around waiting for them to move first, Scarlett looked at Olivia in an attempt to get her stubborn enemy to cooperate more with her.

Olivia also stood up and tried to control her anger. She knew that only by working together with Scarlett, they could have a chance to defeat Cassidy.

"NOW!" Olivia shouted at Scarlet and jumped towards Cassidy. Scarlett understood the plan and started another horizontal attack to force Cassidy to dodge again, making her vulnerable to Olivia’s air attack.

Cassidy hadn’t felt so good in a fight in years. Her lack of agility has always been a problem. But right now, battling powerful opponents, she could see their movements in slow motion.

Of course, she knew where this new power came from. But just as the power Lucien received from L.u.s.t was now his, the power Cassidy received from Lucien is now hers.

As Scarlett’s saber cut the wind towards her, Olivia fell towards her with her daggers ready... Still, Cassidy looked at Lucien and smiled.
