Lust Knight

Chapter 30 - Difficult Journey

Lucien convinced Jeanne to travel to Portgreen together. The adventurers did not want to be close to that devil, but they also did not want to offend him, so they all followed in silence along the road.

Most adventurers walked ahead. Jeanne was in the middle, talking to Marie and Anne. Lucien followed with Mia and the tigresses behind the group.

Mia adorably held Lucien’s arm, and despite the smile on her face, she was a little worried. "You shouldn’t have killed the archer. Now, you may have problems with the guild because of me..."

Lucien knew he exaggerated, but that was the intention. He couldn’t deal well with his anger when someone tried to hurt Mia. So, he wanted to make the adventurers spread this story to avoid a situation like that again.

He hugged Mia more tightly. "Problems can be solved. But if something bad happens to you, I can only regret it. I prefer that they hate me, and you stay safe."

Lucien loved his mother very much, and the loss of her added to his father’s horrible treatment made him very passionate.

He was discovering new ways to love, and Mia caught him off guard. She’s so good and lovely that he couldn’t cope well when she was in danger. But even he knew he went too far. Now, he would have to deal with the consequences.

Lucien asked a lot of questions about Mia and her mother. She said that her mother was sick and she needed a lot of money to buy a special medicine. She worked for the mercenaries as she cannot join the guild for some reason.

He tried to ask more about how her mother got sick and why no one helped them, but Mia didn’t want to answer much yet. He also asked why she couldn’t join the guild, but Mia didn’t want him to get into any more trouble so quickly, so she promised to tell him at another time.

"Now that you have the chest plus the money you already had, where are you going to buy the medicine?"

Mia said it was in another country and that they would have to travel for a month. Lucien said that they could go now, making Mia thrilled that he didn’t even think twice before he wanted the best for her.

She held his hand tighter. "It’s not that simple, idiot. I will only be able to buy that medicine at an auction, which happens once a year. There are still three months to start."

Lucien and Mia agreed that he would join the guild, but she would stop working with the mercenaries. With the addition of the bronze chest, Mia already had enough money to buy the rare medicine for her mother, so she would wait until they could travel to the auction.

But then L.u.s.t said something in his mind, which almost made him scream.

"You should be able to heal anything with a certain amount of your essence as the life mana, which you got from Sophia, runs throughout your body."

Lucien understood L.u.s.t’s explanation. He couldn’t use that mana to cast spells, but it was still in his body, and probably other people could absorb it from his essence.

But the issue was very complicated. And he can’t help asking L.u.s.t. "How do you want me to tell my woman that I can heal her mother with my d.i.c.k? Wouldn’t that make her think I’m a crazy pervert?"

L.u.s.t claimed that the situation would be more natural to understand when Mia felt more and more the improvements that Lucien’s body caused in her body. So, they agreed that Lucien would speak to Mia about it at another time.

As the group walked down the road, Lucien realized that the landscape was changing around them. The road no longer passed through a forest but open fields.

His eyes could see long distances where there were small hills, fields full of plants and colorful trees, some farms close to large plantations.

He could also see great walls, which looked very old but still quite firm, around what should be Portgreen city. Behind the walls, there were large towers and castles, some of which were made of stones with an architecture similar to that of the wall.

But others were totally different, made only of wood in a very different style of architecture, with roofs slightly curved upwards. Some were made of what Lucien thought was bamboo, as they were still far away; he could not see precisely.

Mia told Lucien a lot about Portgreen. It’s a city which had a wide variety of different people. Many small villages and towns lived under the protection of adventurers and mercenaries, who came from all over the world to live in Portgreen.

When closer to the city, more streets connected to the main one. Lucien started to see many people coming from different paths. Some looked like adventurers with colorful and varied armor, small or large groups with several members of different races and equipment.

There were also groups of people who wore dark clothes and capes, just like Mia. Those were the mercenaries who gave Lucien’s group strange looks but confused looks at Mia and Lucien.

There were also several peasants and travelers. Ordinary people were carrying boxes of vegetables and herbs, others in large and small caravans with carts full of different kinds of stuff.

People talked and laughed as they animatedly walked towards the city on the street, which was now quite wide and made of cobblestones.

The adventurers who had witnessed Lucien’s bloody show began to forget that unfortunate episode and talk about other things. They were away from Portgreen for a long time and wanted to rest and relax when they arrived at the guild.

But Jeanne couldn’t stop thinking about Lucien. She couldn’t forget the calm expression on his face as he commanded the tigress to maim adventurers from the same side as her... Her people...

And all because of a misunderstanding. She thought he must be insane... But did he do everything for the girl he loved? So he should love her a lot... But he made her promise to go on a date with him... The more Jeanne thought about him, the more she got confused.

She kept giving him strange looks, thinking he didn’t notice. But Lucien saw it every time she looked at him. He knew nothing about Jeanne except her sweet voice and her gray eyes. Then he also looked at her several times, wondering what was under that heavy armor and elegant helmet.

Jeanne talked a lot with Marie and Anne; almost everything she asked was about Lucien, and what was not about him was clearly just to cover her great curiosity about the beautiful devil.

Marie and Anne thought that Jeanne was very angry with Lucien and wanted to know something that could help screw him. But they’re women and recognized the looks Jeanne gave Lucien.

It was not a look of anger or disapproval, but curiosity and perhaps admiration. Marie and Anne did not realize that they were looking at Jeanne angrily and were not looks of criticism but jealous.

Jeanne couldn’t help but be curious about Lucien. Although he seemed cruel and exaggerated, he’s firm and decisive. They attacked him for no reason, so maybe it would be reasonable for him to be very angry...

He went too far but not for the one who attacked him but for his wife... Jeanne started to think that it seemed somehow very romantic...

"Ahhhh... What am I thinking? He killed cruelly, and I think it’s romantic? It’s all his fault that I’m having these bizarre thoughts! I won’t let him get away with it!!"

Anne saw Jeanne’s flushed face and became more jealous. She didn’t know how to approach Lucien even though she had promised her body to him. She became less and less confident, seeing how he and Mia got along better and better.

Now, Jeanne came out of the blue and agreed to go on a date with him so quickly... Not only that, but she seemed eager for it... Anne couldn’t deny that she had conflicting feelings towards Lucien, but now she couldn’t help envying Mia and feeling angry at Jeanne.

Marie would always be grateful that Lucien saved her... and twice. But she couldn’t deny that she was afraid of him... Not only did he kill easily, but he tortured some victims cruelly... She wanted to give him anything but not to be with him...

That was what she thought or wanted to believe. But feelings were not that simple. Fear, not only of him, but also of what people would think of him, clouded her thoughts, preventing her from seeing that he would be cruel and brutal, but not without reason, but to protect those close to him.

Marie thought she was very unlucky to meet the mercenaries, soldiers of the Light Empire, and Lucien. But now, seeing Jeanne’s flushed expression, she started to feel that maybe she didn’t see something that the others did... Something that Anne seemed to see too...

She wanted to believe that the girls would be excited by his divine body, but after getting to know him better, they would be afraid... But she started to wonder if she knew him well. After all, they only met a day ago. And Mia already looked like a cute kitten in his arms...

"He must be a demon and seduced her! I can’t let myself fall into that enchantment... He’s just a cruel devil!"

Marie was starting to have dangerous thoughts about Lucien and tried to shake her head to forget those thoughts but ended up talking loud enough for Jeanne and Anne to hear.

The three flushed girls realized that they were staring at Lucien and paid no attention to where they were walking. He was kissing and caressing Mia, so he didn’t notice their looks, but Mia did. And she was looking at them with a serious look as if facing her enemies.

Some people notice the embarrassment of girls. Some adventurers thought that Jeanne was going crazy if she was interested in the devil.

Others were sure he brainwashed Marie and Anne. They were so afraid of Lucien that they didn’t even realize that he didn’t need much to charm girls just by his handsome looking.

But a person was angry. Very angry at Lucien for humiliating him and forcing his aunt to go on a date with him. Mason never felt as much hatred for someone as he did for Lucien.

He already had a wonderful woman in his arms, but Marie and Anne were still looking at him, and they probably would be in his arms soon. Mason felt angry and jealous of Lucien... but then he saw Jeanne making the same flushed expression as the girls while looking at him.

He was furious and started cursing Lucien in his mind. "You will do nothing to my aunt! I’ll make you pay for humiliating me, you bastard!"

The group continues walking along the road and soon arrived in a long line full of people who were waiting to enter the city. Lucien could see a large open iron gate and several guards around it.

Everyone who tried to enter the city had to pass an inspection to explain the reasons for wanting to enter the city and what they bring.

The guards checked everything, and the masters of mystic formations made a type of identification card quickly for new visitors. Those who already had their ID card just needed to show it and enter.

The ID cards showed the person’s name, profession, and other characteristics. The adventurers have ID cards of the guild. Mia has a freelance mercenary ID card.

When it came time for Lucien’s group to go through the inspection, everyone showed their Id cards, but Lucien had to make a new one.

The master of mystic formation started asking several questions, which Lucien did not want to answer, so Jeanne tried to help him. "He’ll probably join the guild, so give him a special ID card for now."

The guards didn’t do that kind of thing easily, but Jeanne is very famous in the city, so they gave Lucien a special ID card, which only has his name and a few more information.

Lucien entered the city together with the group and cannot help but be impressed. He always lived in seclusion in the mountains with his sisters, and even though he read a lot about the cities, he didn’t expect it to be so big and full of so many people.
