chapter-93
While Lucien listened to the story about the arrival of the Light Envoy, Rose and Maggie found the room where Lena was on the other side of the castle.
*Knock* *Knock*
Zora was trying to comfort Lena and persuade her to try to be a good wife for her son when both of them heard the knock on the door.
"Come in." Zora thought they were her servants and guards at the door, but as soon as she gave permission, two women entered. The two were enchanting beauties, which she had never seen in the Kingdom, so Zora was surprised.
"Who are yo-" Zora tried to question the women, but the shorter one ignored her and looked at Lena.Rose was almost sure that the girl is Lena as her blue hair was identical to Marie and Angela's. Still, she had to confirm. "Are you Lena, Angela's daughter?"
The first thing Lena noticed was that the girls were gorgeous; the shorter one really looked like a fairy. But then she spoke her mother's name, and that surprised Lena. "Yes, what do you want with me?"
Zora was very irritated that Rose ignored her, so she got up to prevent the girls from talking to Lena. "If you don't tell me who you are, I'll call the guards!"
Rose didn't answer Zora but moved to the side. Maggie also moved, leaving the view outside the room free for Zora and Lena.
"AH!!!" Zora and Lena screamed together when they saw the dead guards outside the room. Well, they should probably be dead from the amount of blood on the floor.
"I don't know who you are, old woman, but if you get in my way, I will kill you." Rose was angry at Zora for being so arrogant and almost showed her fangs. She just wanted to return to Lucien's side and get some kisses.
Zora was really terrified, not only that the guards were dead, but also because everything happened so close to them, and yet nobody noticed. She concluded that Rose and Maggie must be really powerful people and didn't even think about calling more guards or making things difficult.After Zora stepped back, Rose approached Lena, who was sitting on the bed, still afraid. Rose tried her kindest tone not to startle Lena anymore. "We are not your enemies, Lena. We were sent here by your mother to take you back home."
Lena was very regretful to have come to the Nunid Kingdom, but she just couldn't believe the stranger woman so easily.
"My mother never leaves the room and is always depressed. So how could she have sent you? And my father would not let her ruin the chance for an alliance in these difficult times."
Rose wanted to show her fangs again. She had no patience to deal with these complicated things, but the idea of being rewarded with Lucien's affection made her want to show her fangs, but with excitement and not anger.
"Things have changed in Bluewind. We are your allies now, and you don't need those idiots anymore. Also, your parents will never fight again, so Angela is more active now."
Rose's words were very confusing for Lena. 'How could my parents not fight anymore? Who are these "we" she said? What does she mean by my mom is more active?'
Maggie had to praise Rose for her choice of words. She spoke the truth but not the important points, which could cause problems for them.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But how are we going to get out of here if they stop us?" Lena was not an idiot and realized that Rose and Maggie had not come diplomatically as the dead guards at the door were more tha. Enough proof of that. Although it seemed risky, she couldn't stay there after Duane allied with the Light Empire.
"Nothing stops hubby!" Rose and Maggie responded together, then looked at each other and smiled proudly.
Lena wanted to ask more, but then Rose communicated mentally with Lucien, and he told them to go to the Prince's room.
Rose held out her hand to Lena as she smiled excitedly. Of course, she was imagining receiving rewards for completing the mission quickly. "Let's go. Hubby is waiting for us with the Prince."
"Duane? What did he do to my son?!" While Lena accepted Rose's hand, Zora questioned as she heard her talk about the Prince.
Rose realized that Zora said "son" and also wore royalty cloths, so she quickly concluded who she was. "You better not come, Queen. Your son will not have a good end."
"GUAR-" Zora didn't care if they took Lena, but harming her son would be terrible. She didn't think twice before starting to call out to the guards, but Rose hit her on the head with a rock, knocking out the Queen.
Lena was impressed by Rose's magic. She moved a rock from the wall in less than a second without enchantment or preparation. Rose was already a very powerful mage before Lucien, so she is now really close to the top of power in this world.
"Let's go. I don't want to keep hubby waiting." Then Rose, Maggie, and Lena left the room and headed for the Prince's room.
Lena couldn't help but wonder who that "hubby" was. After all, Rose was already amazing, so her husband should be even more incredible to have such a beautiful and powerful woman by his side.
After crossing the second floor, they arrived in front of the Prince's room. Lena was again surprised. The same place that a few minutes ago was full of guards now had only corpses. She couldn't tell if they were alive or dead.
Rose opened the room's door and ran towards Lucien while exclaiming "hubby!"
Lena entered the room, and the first thing she noticed was the Captain of the Light Empire moaning on the floor while a man was sitting in a chair stomping on his chest.
Despite the room being full of guards and servants knocked-out, the man's beauty still drew more attention than anything. He could only be described as diabolically handsome. Lena understood why Rose and Maggie spoke proudly about their "hubby."
Lucien took Rose into his lap easily and allowed her to kiss his face, which made him start laughing. " "Little vampire, we were only separated for less than ten minutes. Take it easy, we don't have time for you to act like a spoiled brat right now."
Rose didn't care about Lucien's words and continued to mark his face with her cute kisses. She always wanted more from him, but now another new beautiful girl was joining the group, so she wanted to show that she had arrived earlier, and that was why she was entitled to more of Lucien.
As Lucien was unable to stop the little vampire, he called Lena, still under the kisses attack. "My name is Lucien. You don't have to be afraid of me, Lena. I am a friend of your mother, and well... I am close to your sister."
The scene was very contradictory. On the one hand, that handsome devil was brutally torturing the Captain. But on the other hand, he was very affectionate and kind to Rose. He also talked about her mother and sister, making Lena very curious.
"Arghhh!! Stop, please! I already told you everything I know." The Captain had finished his story about Light Envoy, but Lucien still had his foot on his chest, so he started to beg.
"It is true. Well... A quick death is what I promised you." Lucien raised his foot, and before the Captain could beg again, he had his head crushed by Lucien's boot.
Blood and brains flew across the room, and although some girls didn't like the bloody scene, others were happy that this was the end of someone from the Light Empire.
Lena did not have much contact with death and brutality. After all, she is a princess spoiled by her father. She couldn't help but be impressed by Lucien's cruelty and wondered how he was friends with her mother and "close" to her sister.
"Before we leave, I have a gift for you, Lena." Lucien managed to get rid of Rose and walked towards the corner of the room where the knocked out Prince was.
"A gift? What are you talking about?" Lena was confused for a second before Lucien threw Duane's body on the floor in front of her.
"Your sister told me that this trash had bothered her for a long time, so he won't make it through this night alive. But I thought you would like to do it... Or you don't want to?" Lucien saw the hesitation in Lena's eyes, and his katana appeared in hand.
Of course, it would be difficult for Lena to kill someone so easily. She had threatened Duane many times just like he did to her, but the difference is that she would not have done something fatal in the end... But she was sure that he would have hurt her several times if it weren't for Zora protecting her.
Still, Lena did not have a straightforward moral as Marie. Lena would not forgive Duane for being so evil to her and still allying with the Light Empire in the end. She prepared all the courage she has and asked Lucien to let her kill the Prince.
Lucien liked Lena for her willpower. Despite being a spoiled princess, she was alone in another Kingdom, but she didn't look like a victim used by her idiot father, but a smart girl.
He moved to near Duane and started kicking him in the belly so that the Prince would stop pretending that he was passed out. Lucien saw a faint light on the Prince's body after he fell to the floor, and knew that he had some protective treasure, which prevented him from actually passing out.
"Come on, stupid trash! Get up!! I know you are fine." After a few kicks, Duane quickly got up and tried to attack Lucien with a dagger. The light that has slightly shone before was now shining brightly, and everyone saw it.
Lucien had time to roll his eyes as everything seemed to move in slow motion for him. With a movement, which seemed lightning fast to others, he attacked Duane with his katana. It was not a fatal blow as it only broke the barrier that had formed around the prince's body.
"What?!?! HOW?!?!?!?!?" Duane was thrown at another wall, and this time he felt all the pain because his incredible protective treasure was broken. Broken from a single attack... He couldn't believe what was going on and just wanted to shout to the heavens how unfair the gods were.
Lena was incredibly impressed by Lucien. He was so intense... Cruel, kind, strong, fast, attractive, damn handsome. Of course, she would be enchanted with him easily, but she also wouldn't show it as she is very proud of herself.
She stopped focusing on Lucien and began to prepare her spell. Like Marie, Lena was also a wizard, who studied ice magic as she inherited Angela's ice affinity. Lena also focused on enhancing close-combat, so she wasn't very fast with ranged spells.
Lena's hands started to glow with blue light, and then an ice spear formed. She went towards Duane to stab him with the ice spear, but the prince tried to escape by crawling to the side.
Lucien thought about doing something to stop the prince from disrupting Lena's beautiful blow, but he heard someone else getting ready too help her and could only smile.
*Woosh*
"AAARRRRHHHHH!!!" Ghilanna shot Duane in the leg with a quick arrow. The arrow went through the bone and pinned his leg to the wall, allowing Lena to easily stab him in the back with the ice spear.
Duane screamed for a few seconds before his body was completely frozen. The spear had a high concentration of ice magic and transformed him into an ice statue.
"Despicable piece of trash! This is what you deserve for mistreating me!" Lena charmingly smiled from Lucien's perspective, and then kicked Duane's statue, causing the prince to break into hundreds of pieces of ice.
'She looks cooler than her sister.' Lust couldn't help commenting in Lucien's mind.
Lucien couldn't deny that Lena looked cool, but he has nothing against his stubborn Marie.
'I like both.'
