Lust Knight

Chapter 74 - Nobody Knows Everything

Two hours after the Magic Band reported the presence of the mysterious earth mage in the western forest...

In a large room, a woman was listening to her subordinate’s report. She was surprised and can’t help wanting to put a risky plan in action.

"Olivia... Are you sure she will lead the group herself?" The woman spoke in a tone soft and calmly, but the messenger was still very tense... He had a lot of respect for the woman, but fear was even higher.

"Yes, my Lady. She has already left town with a group of A-rank adventurers, Glen and Klaus." The messenger stared at the woman for a second before lowering his head again... He knew that the famous Red Lady had already killed men just for flirting with her, and he did not want to look enchanted by her beauty.

Red Lady smiled when she saw the messenger’s reaction. She never killed anyone for flirting with her, but she liked to keep rumors like that... After all, leading a group of mercenaries was not easy, and she wanted to look "cruel."

The leader of the strongest mercenary group in Portgreen was very famous in many parts of the world. Not only was she beautiful, but also very powerful...

She is 1.72 meters tall and has nice olive skin. Her h.i.p.s are wide, but her waist was thin, making her body looks very e.r.o.t.i.c... But her most notable feature was her beautiful big red hair. Her brown-red eyes also made her Red Lady title more well justified.

Another important detail about Red Lady was the fact that she was demi-human, which was visible from her furry ears under the leather cap she always wore. She is a hybrid between a fox-woman and a werewolf.

Red Lady wore leather clothes with gauntlets, shoulder, boots, and other small parts of metal. Her saber always on her belt, regardless of her having storage treasures, making her always seem ready to fight as a mercenary leader should be.

"Isn’t Ivan going with Olivia?" Red Lady feared to fight Olivia and Ivan, the second leader of the Guild, but if she was only with some A-rank and two S-rank adventurers, it wouldn’t be too difficult to deal with them...

"Ivan has not yet returned from the Alliance’s capital. Olivia has requested all the S-rank adventurers nearby the city, but only Glen and Klaus are with her right now." The messenger could feel that Red Lady was smiling even without looking at her... He had been her main informant for a long time and knew that the smart woman was always planning.

"Summon the squads 1, 2, and 3. We are going to hunt the earth mage along with the Guild."

As soon as Red Lady gave the order, the man left the room in surprise. Summoning the three best squads to capture a mysterious mage and an A-rank adventurer seemed absurd, but it was even worse because Olivia was already chasing them... The informant was sure that Red Lady is planning something.

After the man left the room, Red Lady began to stroke her saber’s handle while thinking. ’Olivia... What are you really looking for? Anyway... It’s time for Portgreen to have only one ruler again.’

The three best squads of the Red Lady Party came together quickly and led by the Red Lady herself, headed for the west gate.

"Red Lady! Glad you came so quickly." Arriving at the gate, Cornelius, who led a group of almost one hundred of the best mages of the Magic Band, greeted Red Lady respectfully. Everyone thought this was normal as the Red Lady was considered one of the three most influential people in Portgreen; the other two were Olivia and Ivan, the Guild leaders.

"Report the situation." Red Lady spoke little in a severe tone. Even though she was talking to the leader of the second most influential mercenary group in the city, she was brief and rude.

Cornelius did not care for Red Lady’s manner and began to report. He was a person who only cared about magic and science... He had nothing against following Red Lady’s orders as long as he could learn any secret from the mysterious earth mage.

"I sent one of my mages with Olivia’s group to track the earth mage. She left the city more than an hour ago and seemed very anxious... I made it clear to my mage that he shouldn’t be very quick and precise about tracking the mage... So we can reach them easily."

Red Lady heard everything and was satisfied with things like that. She wanted to follow Olivia’s group quickly to find them before they reached the earth mage and the adventurer A-rank. "Are your guys ready to go?"

Cornelius had almost a hundred mages with him, and Red Lady seemed to have more than a hundred of the strongest mercenaries there... Still, Cornelius couldn’t help thinking that they should need more.

"Wouldn’t it be better to bring Black Hand with us too?" Black Hand was arrested, but Cornelius didn’t mind "releasing" him... Olivia and Ivan were not in town, so they would not have problems...

Black Hand was judged by the city council to spend a year in prison for the chaos that happened in the city.

Olivia made it clear that he was very much to blame for chasing Lucien and attacking the earth mage without reason. Still, she wanted to judge Rose for the damage in the city and has other plans for Lucien...

Red Lady knew that Black Hand had "problems" with the A-rank adventurer. Her informants related the whole story about Lucien and Shadow... And since she knew nothing about them, she thought that Black Hand would only cause problems for her plans.

"Let that idiot rot in prison. We’re not going to have any problems... Let’s go. We can’t waste any more time."

Cornelius did not know what Red Lady intended, but he was sure she is going against Olivia... Still, he followed her orders and the two mercenary groups, now forming more than two hundred people, headed for the vast west forest, where Olivia’s group was already tracking Lucien.

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

While many people were making mysterious plans, Lucien only thought about rescuing Lena and returning to Bluewind. His body became stronger every second, and he knew he could improve even more with his women.

Of course, there was still the question of the time he and his women needed to absorb the demonic energy... But he could spend that time training with the girls or doing other things... So he wanted to get to the Nunid Kingdom quickly.

Now Lucien’s group only had Oya and Astrid running alone while he carried Maggie and Rose, making them move incredibly fast. They were running like blurs for those who did not have excellent vision.

It didn’t take even four hours for them to enter the vast forest at the south of Bluewind, a route where they had taken more than a day to go through before. They had no way of knowing that they are being tracked by Cornelius’ mages after entering the forest and continued heading to the south.

Oya, like any other moon tigers, has an incredibly strong and agile body, plus she started to improve a lot after receiving Lucien’s tattoo. Even if they didn’t do anything s.e.x.u.a.l, she had great affection for Lucien, who always treated her with a lot of affection too... Even giving the happy mama tigress a little bit of his "milk," making her stronger and more agile. Now she could run even faster than ever.

Astrid, after having s.e.x with Lucien, felt incredibly good. Her whole body seemed stronger and faster, allowing her to run as fast as Oya. Astrid could also feel her wings improving like evolving, and she kept smiling at Lucien as she ran excitedly.

Still, undoubtedly the happiest woman in the group was Maggie. Not only did she feel much more powerful, but she also received total acceptance from Lucien... Plus, she was now clinging to his back while she could enjoy his pleasant smell and warmth.

Rose, who was levitating while holding Maggie’s back, was not at all happy with that situation. She wanted to be the only one holding her lover... Still, her body, unlike her mind, was very satisfied, feeling the benefits of being Lucien’s woman.

The group ran through the forest without problems. The mystic beasts only noticed when they were already far away while the more agile ones did not approach in fear of Oya.

Even with their high speed, the group would take several hours to reach their destination, and as they would not stop anytime soon as they had a lot of energy, the girls thought it would be a good opportunity to talk.

Their tattoo, as well as their connection, became much more potent after having so much pleasure with Lucien, allowing the girls to use mental communication perfectly with him.

Maggie told him a little about the story of how she lost her parents and joined the mercenaries because of her unique skills. Her life was not so exciting, and all she wanted to talk to Lucien about was how happy she was to be with him.

Rose told him a little about what it was like to be a vampire, but she seemed to want to avoid talking about where she came from and about her family. Lucien wouldn’t force her to say anything, but the little vampire said that she would tell him everything soon and that she didn’t want to think about complicated things while they had other problems to solve.

Lucien didn’t like that Rose was thinking about his problems first, but now he really had to focus on rescuing Lena... As she promised to tell him everything after they got back, Lucien didn’t insist, so they talked about vampire stuff and "partner for life."

But, then when it was time to talk to Astrid, Lucien was surprised by the topic...

Astrid, like the other girls, was thrilled with everything that happened, but she could think of something that would be both very good but also complicated right now.

’Lucien... You came so much inside me... That was wonderful... But doesn’t that also mean I’m going to get pregnant?’

Before Lucien spoke, Astrid continued, making her point clear. ’Don’t think I wouldn’t like that! I would love to have your children... I never thought about it before I met you, but now I want to have many children of yours... But maybe right now it is not the best time...’

Lucien felt several different feelings. He was happy that Astrid wanted to have his children. He also really wanted to be able to build a family with his women... To be able to give grandchildren to his mother after he rescued her... He hadn’t thought of that before, but Astrid’s words aroused those feelings in him...

But then he was sad because he remembered that he was now infertile. L.u.s.t spoke in his mind in a depressed tone as she knew it was unfair to him. ’I told you that you would not be able to have children with me...’

’I don’t regret it, L.u.s.t. We still have a long way to go before I can save my mother, but all I have now is thanks to you... It is only difficult to tell her that she cannot be a mother...’ Lucien didn’t regret the contract with L.u.s.t. He wouldn’t even have met his women without her.

Lucien thought it would be sad for Astrid and his other women to know that they could not be mothers, but he would not hide anything from his loved ones. He would always tell them the whole truth, and he just hasn’t talked about L.u.s.t or his world yet because he was waiting for a better time after solving the current problems.

’Astrid... I’m infertile... I-’ Lucien started talking to Astrid, but she interrupted him before he could begin to apologize.

She cannot deny that she was a little sad when she heard "infertile," but she had already chosen him as her man and would not go back or let him apologize for something like that.

’This is not a problem, Lucien... We are already a family... I always considered Cassidy as my sister and Mia as a daughter... We can also adopt children after these war times are over... I am very satisfied with you!’

Lucien was very happy with Astrid’s words... He would think about adopting children and building a family... Of course, after rescuing his mother.

L.u.s.t felt strange in a way she never thought possible... Not only was she sad that Lucien couldn’t get his women pregnant, but a part of her was also disappointed that she couldn’t have his child too...

She had no way of knowing that a little life was growing in Astrid’s belly, just like Cassidy, Rose, Maggie, and even Sophia... They wouldn’t know that for long because of the peculiarities of Lucien’s body, which was unknown even for L.u.s.t, making the children born several years later.
