Lust Knight

Chapter 714  Peacefulness Never Lasts Long (2/2)

"The calm before the storm..." Lucien thinks aloud. "Why are things always like this?"

"Probably because the people orchestrating this did a great job, always pushing you to the limit, never giving you time to breathe..." Sloth comments.

Lucien and the other Sins agree with that. Their journey so far seems to have been meticulously planned by someone or some mysterious group of people.

The most impressive part is that Lucien always has options, a choice, and whoever planned that knows him so well they can predict his decisions.

"We have to go back to Bellor and confront Michael." Lucien can only think of his father to give him some answers now.

He doesn't think his mother will actually be there as a prisoner of the Silver Legion, but he needs to make sure and check it personally.

Naomi nods. "Yes, we have to go back home and help our people."

"Home? Our people??" Donna can't help but feel upset upon hearing that.

Amelia thinks similarly to Donna and speaks in a sarcastic tone. "She means that shitty world and the people who hate us."

"Not everyone hates us there." Naomi responds. "Our mothers made sacrifices to protect our people, millions of innocent families that would have been massacred by the Silver Legion."

"We were the sacrifices, you fool!" Donna exclaims furiously. "I saw your mother abandon you just like mine did; it was Eve who took care of us and stopped that bastard from killing us!"

All of Lucien's sisters have complicated relationships with their mothers, except Eve, whose mother passed away.

But among them, some relationships like Donna's with her mother are much worse due to the intense anger she feels.

Naomi, on the other hand, always tried to see life from the best angle. She believes that her mother loves her and only joined Michael with his other wives to save their Kingdoms and families.

She doesn't blame Donna for hating her mother, but Naomi has a desire to return to their homeland and help her people and family. That's what led her to accept the Soul Contract with Gluttony.

"We're here for power, remember?" She asks her siblings. "What's the point of working hard for this power if we don't use it to help our family?"

"We are your family." Eve comments in an affectionate tone.

She never wanted to get involved in her siblings' relationships with their mothers, and in fact, she blames Michael for forcing those women to abandon their children.

Yet, her love is only for her siblings, no one else. So she won't let them fight because of other people, even if those people are their mothers.

"No matter what we do, we need to go back to Bellor before anything else." Claire comments.

She never thought much about her mother because before the Soul Contract with Greed, she didn't care about much. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞wn.𝒸o𝔪 website to read fastest update

But now, she doesn't know how she feels exactly, but she certainly wants to reunite with her mother and figure it out.

"Yes." Sophia agrees.

As one of the younger siblings, she remembers well how much she missed her mother in the early years at Michael's stronghold.

That love started turning into hurt, but when she discovered she was pregnant, her perspective began to change even more rapidly.

Sophia doesn't know how she feels about her mother now, but she wants her daughter to have a good life, which may include the option of a grandmother, something she didn't have.

"Grandpa???" Lucien is shocked to hear that. He's not even ready to be a father, let alone a grandfather.

All the girls laugh at Lucien's surprised reaction, making Kayla laugh even harder.

But Maya becomes very embarrassed. "Kayla?! What are you doing?!"

"You're going with him to do that-" Kayla starts to say, but Maya covers her mouth and pulls the girl back, making the scene even more comical.

Lucien and his sisters can see how much Maya loves Kayla and Layla. They may not have her blood, but they are a true family, which makes such separation even sadder.

"I'm going to miss them..." Naomi approaches Lucien and comments in a saddened tone as well.

The time she spent in the Rising Phoenix Clan created deep bonds not only with Maya but also with her family and people.

Lucien hugs Naomi as he watches the heartwarming scene of Maya and her granddaughter. "Kayla is very much like you."

"Nah, she's cool." Naomi quickly responds.

"Yeah, you're a pain in the ass." Lucien laughs and teases Naomi.

Everyone wishes Maya had more time with her family, but they also know that time is crucial now.

After more affectionate hugs, Maya releases Kayla and looks at Lucien with a determined and expectant expression. "I'm ready."

"Me too!" Saria comments as she shows her wrist adorned with beautiful bracelets, each one containing hidden treasures filled with various things.

Lucien turns his attention to Daisy, and she quickly reports, "The portal is ready. Since most of us will be traveling within the Purple World, it was fairly simple, and Nea provided us with excellent magic crystals."

"Great." He responds and then casts another loving glance at Nea and Mira; Lucien hates goodbyes, especially when he could avoid them.

"We'd better go before the Leviathan..." Lucien starts to speak while gazing one last time at the beautiful blue horizon.

But then he abruptly pauses as he fixes his gaze on the sky, precisely at a bright white spot among the clouds.

Lust is the first to notice Lucien's curiosity and quickly questions him. "What is that?"

"Look there." He points to the small white gleam, which quickly grows bigger and brighter.

"A portal?" Sloth is the first to understand what that white light is.

"Looks like a portal of light energy..." Daisy comments.

"Light energy?" Lucien can only think of one person now. "Genevieve?"

He hadn't forgotten about Genevieve, the Angel who serves him and Alexa as a messenger. But she had returned to Qia when they arrived at the Blue Star, and since then, he has not heard from her.

The purpose of her trip to her homeworld was to bring news from Alexa, and now Lucien wonders if that bright light in the sky is indeed her return.

And if it is her, could something significant be happening?

Maybe that's the mysterious person in the shadows forcing him to act again. Or maybe it's just a consequence of his actions, in particular, the deal with Alexa to help the Angels.

Anyway, with every problem Lucien solves, more appear. And now there are more pieces on the board than ever before, making predicting what will happen next impossible.
