Lust Knight (Web Novel)

"Lucien!!" It only took Amelia a second to realize that Lucien had "attacked" Envy. She ran after him and tried to get him to release Envy.

"We are on the same side. We must not fight." She tried to convince him while pulling him back.

Lucien was annoyed by the way Envy talked about the people he loves, but he knew that she is not his enemy and just a very arrogant person. And of course, he would break her arrogance at some point.

He loosened his grip on Envy's neck and stopped confining her with his demonic energy. He was now almost out of demonic energy after using the ability twice, showing that he had a lot to improve before he could maintain the boosted state for more than a minute.

Still, beating Amelia, who is in the seventh layer of the Mortal Realm and dominate the energy of a great demon, even in a weak state, was a great achievement, showing that Lucien's control over demonic energy is more and more surprising.

He pushed Envy forward, and she materialized her body behind Amelia while speaking. "Yes, we must not fight."

Lucien looked seriously at Envy. "Yes, we are on the same side, so now you are going to tell Amelia everything you are hiding from her."

Envy was not happy with Lucien's arrogant attitude, after all, everyone wanted to be in control of the situation.

Still, she knew it wasn't really right to hide things about the Bloody Rose or her past as she is connected to Amelia by a soul contract.

"Okay, I'll tell her. We just agreed to keep it a secret for a while because it wouldn't help you at all and would only bring you more worries now."

Amelia was shocked, not because Envy was hiding things from her as she knew it, but because she was going to reveal her secrets because Lucien ordered her.

She had to admit that her brother was no longer the weak and depressed boy from before but a dominant man…

When her thoughts became too weird, Amelia started to blush again and shook her head to ward off those feelings she shouldn't have.

She concentrated again and realized that Lucien was looking at her affectionately, so she panicked. "AH! Y-yes, I want to know what you are talking about."

Then Envy told Amelia the same story that Lust told Lucien. She explained that they did not have very accurate memories, about Pride's plan and about the mysterious woman who explained to Pride about using the pentagram pact to connect Lucien and his sisters, thus minimizing the side effects of Bloody Rose in their bodies.

Amelia's first reaction was anger, anger at her father. "That bastard sold us as an experiment for demons!!"

Lucien nodded. "He will do anything to save his kingdom. For him, the ends justify any means, which makes his title as Evil King well deserved."

Amelia was really upset. She knew that making a contract with a demon would bring not only benefits but also problems. What she didn't know was that the Bloody Rose had been affecting them for a long time.

Lucien couldn't help hugging his sister. "I'm not going to tell you not to be angry because I felt that same way when Lust told it to me. But now that this is done, we can't do anything about it."

Amelia was so upset with her father that she didn't think about anything else and accepted Lucien's hug, which is very comfortable.

"We will use this power to protect our people, but we also have to make him pay for treating us like that."

Lucien started stroking Amelia's head as she rested her face on his chest. "Yes, we will make him pay. But in the end, I can't be mad at everything that happened…"

"Only because it allowed me to meet Lust and have the opportunity to become strong to rescue my mother... In addition to gaining a new family and the strength to protect them."

Amelia was so happy and comfortable in Lucien's arms... But when she heard him talking about his new family, that is, the many wives he spoke about, she began to get upset again.

She understood that those chaotic feelings she has possibly influence from the Bloody Rose. Still, she couldn't contain those feelings, and knowing that Lucien now belongs to many women made her really angry.

"You don't have to do this. You don't have to be responsible for so many women to save your mother. We can work together and... and you can have some whores until I get a lot of demonic energy for us."

Lucien did not expect Amelia to understand it quickly, after all, nor could he explain his relationship with his women. Still, it was definitely not just about power. He loved his wives and would not abandon them for anything.

He continued to stroke her hair. "I appreciate your help, but things are not that simple. They are my family too... and my method is much more effective."

"I will not stop you if you follow your plans, but we can get stronger quickly... We just have to be together and... Well, to do pleasant things. Then we could quickly return to our world, help our people, kick our father's ass, and reunite our family."

Amelia pouted while enjoying Lucien's pleasant scent. "No! This is not good. You are becoming a degenerate because of the Bloody Rose and Lust's influence."

Lucien didn't know what to do for Amelia to understand. "It is not like that. You will understand when you meet the girls. They are incredible people, and we are working together for the good of our family and not just indulging in pleasure."

Amelia began to be curious about what Lucien's wives were like. He seemed to really love them, so maybe things weren't as bad as Envy said.

She was starting to let her guard down and believe in Lucien. But how could Envy miss such a good opportunity? Those chaotic feelings from Amelia were what made Envy choose her as her host, so of course, Envy wanted her to be even more jealous.

Envy sent a mental message to Amelia. 'You know what hard work he's talking about, right? They must spend all day in bed, fucking.'

'Your brother must spend his days with several women on top of him, in his arms as you are now, enjoying all the affection and love he has…'

Amelia was furious and replied Envy mentally. 'Shut up, Envy!!!'

But Envy continued to provoke her. 'Oh, are you mad at me? Is it my fault? I told you about Lust's influence, and now you also know about Bloody Rose.'

'Your brother is becoming a pervert because of these influences. You know, he tried to touch you in a perverted manner twice, and now I bet he's thinking of doing weird things with you.'

'Stop saying shit, Envy!! My brother is not like that. He just didn't want to hurt me.' Amelia responded.

Amelia couldn't really stop Envy from speaking in her mind as she didn't know how to use the demonic energy so well yet as Lucien does.

Then Envy went on talking. 'I'm not saying it's his fault. But if he continues like this, he will become someone different. He will really lose himself in pleasure and become a pervert.'

'You can prevent this. You just need to get him to follow and cooperate with you, so when we conquer all the Kings, leaders, and strong people of this world, you can share the demonic energy with him.'

Amelia just wanted to tell Envy to shut up again, but she couldn't help but fear that Lucien will get lost in pleasure.

Before, their relationship was not very good, but Amelia has always loved him as a brother, and now he is so nice and caring. It would be really horrible if he became a pervert and walked away from her and her sisters to be only with Lust and his wives.

Also, Envy's plan looked excellent. If Lucien followed her to the Light Empire, she could always keep an eye on him, and then she would share the demonic energy with him later, making them both not only very strong but also more united as a family.

Amelia hugged Lucien more tightly. "Come with me, brother. Together we will be stronger."

Lucien stopped hugging her and took a step back. "I can't go to the Light Empire with you. Look at me, I have horns. Also, some of my women are demi-humans."

"You know that the Light Empire is like the Silver Legion of our homeworld, a bunch of fucking racists."

Amelia pouted. "Is everything about your wives? We didn't come here to play. We have to become stronger, or our home will be destroyed by the Silver Legion and our father's incompetence."

Then Lucien approached Amelia again and held hands. "I understand that. So I know that the best way is to stick together, not as you want, but in my own way."

Amelia released his hands and turned. "No! That is not good. You are blinded by the power you have gained and just want to do naughty things. This is not the best way."

Lucien began to think that Amelia is not reasonable. "You saw how I defeated you. But that's not my real power. Lust's capabilities focus on increasing my women's strength."

"So, my real power is in them. Together we are much more powerful in ways you can't even imagine. So, how is this not the right way?"

Amelia was annoyed by Lucien's stubbornness. "You only defeated me because you teased me. If I used all my strength, I would defeat you easily. And Envy's abilities are much better than Lust's. There is no way your methods can be better than mine."

Envy quickly sent a mental message to Amelia. 'It is not exactly like that. His methods seem to work very well. We just need to manage his relationships, so he doesn't get lost in pleasure.'

'Shut the fuck up, Envy!!!' Amelia responded.

Lucien rolled his eyes because Amelia seemed more and more irrational just as in the past when she acted impulsively and beat or insulted him for no reason.

But this time, he wouldn't let her do what she wanted. "So what? Do you want to fight again? How do you want me to prove to you that my methods are better than yours?"

Amelia was used to always beating Lucien when he didn't hear what she was saying, but now she wasn't sure she could beat him.

Still, she had to act like an older sister. She had to prevent him from going down a path of no return where he would walk away from his real family.

"I... I d-don't have much demonic energy like you. So fighting now is not going to prove anything."

Lucien shrugged. "So what are we going to do? Are we going to stand here arguing without accomplishing anything?"

Amelia didn't know what to do, so she asked Envy's help. Envy quickly spoke. "Yes, there is no point in continuing to argue. Your fighting will also prove nothing. So we have to do something else."

Lust did not like the course that things were taking. Amelia seemed to be very influenced by Envy, who seemed to be planning something. "What is this about?"

Envy kept a serious expression, but inside she was laughing. "It's very simple. We are going to have a small competition to see who has the best potential."

"For what purpose?" Lucien asked.

Envy replied. "For the purpose of showing you that you shouldn't only follow Lust's methods."

Amelia continued Envy's explanation. "If you lose, you'll follow us to the Light Empire and cooperate with us so that we can become stronger without you having to spend the days indulging in pleasure."

Lucien shook his head because he was disappointed by Amelia's attitude.

But then Lust quickly sent him a mental message. 'Don't be upset with your sister. Remember that the Bloody Rose makes your feelings more chaotic.'

'Also, I'm sure Envy is using her love for you to influence her into thinking that this is the best way to keep you close to her.'

'I see. Thank you, my dear.' Lucien was grateful that Lust always gave him good advice.

'Humm... So we have to...' Lucien quickly started to think about what to do, so he and Lust had the same thought.

'Defeat Envy in her own game.'
