Lust Knight (Web Novel)

Two weeks after Lucien and Cassidy recovered control of Portgreen, everything was going very well. The people were very satisfied with the current policies.

There were no more major conflicts between mercenaries and adventurers, and even the overall crime rate went down close to zero. Lucien had anyone who threatened someone else's life for no reason executed immediately.

While Scarlett and Olivia kept the mercenaries and adventurers under control in the name of Lucien, Lord Larousse represented the people in a very obedient way.

The leaders of Portgreen's vassal kingdoms and independent villages had already arrived in the city, except for Emmanuel, who would take another two weeks to come from the island of Raco.

But Lucien had not yet done the conference because he wanted to have a wedding ceremony first.

His women already considered themselves his wives. But for some of them, the ceremony is important.

In the current situation where Lucien wanted to use all of their extra time to get stronger, it could seem unnecessary, so the girls did not talk about it.

But Lucien knew that the ceremony would be very good, not only because it was more than just training but also because it would actually make them stronger.

The power of him and his women came from pleasure, and the ceremony would please the girls very much, besides it's also something Lucien wanted to do to make them happy and to reward them for working so hard to make their family stronger.

Although they all want to do the ceremony, not everyone wanted to do it now and according to Portgreen's traditions.

Since Portgreen did not have an official religion, Its people performed an old ceremony where they swore to be loyal to their partners in a public area and asked for their parent's blessings.

Because of that, Rose wanted to do her ceremony in the vampire way with her mother present. In fact, she had already done part of that ceremony when she drank Lucien's blood the first time and would do the other part when they went to her home.

Anne wanted to do the ceremony in a sacred place for the demi-humans in the territory of the Alliance when they went to visit her family.

Although Scarlett and Astrid have no fond memories of their time at the Alliance, everything was different now. They are with Lucien, and for that reason, they felt very safe to also perform the ceremony in that sacred place for the demi-humans to honor their mother's memory.

Aria and Ella, despite being demi-human, were not born in the Alliance but were part of a small clan that always lived in the territory of Portgreen even before the Sage King unified the smaller kingdoms in a great kingdom.

The marriage ceremony that Aria knew was also quite common. They just got together in front of their parents and asked for their blessings. As she had no more living relatives because the Light Empire soldiers killed her clan, she and Ella would perform this ceremony with Lucien and the other girls.

Neola and Kylee were sold as slaves, so they didn't want any memories of their old lives. They would also do the ceremony with the other girls.

Ghilanna said that she was fine with the ceremony with the other girls, but Lucien could see that it would not please her like the others, so he said that he would go with her to the elven forest when they visit the Alliance and ask for her parent's blessing according to the elven traditions.

She didn't really like the Elven traditions, but Ghilanna liked Lucien's idea. She would love to see the reactions of her father and the noble elves who considered themself so beautiful and incredible when they see Lucien and realized that they just looked like ugly bugs compared to the majestic lion her husband is.

Madelyn was thrilled that Lucien is offering a ceremony to her already, especially alongside his current wives and the Queen. Still, he also realized that she would prefer a ceremony in the sacred place of the demi-humans, so she joined the group that will wait more before having the ceremony.

Although Rebecca also wanted a ceremony like that, she felt that their relationship needed to mature further in order for the ceremony to be more meaningful.

Kara, despite not having taken the last step with Lucien yet, she really wanted to do the ceremony. She is very happy that Ron will give them his blessing in place of her late parents.

Olivia, as well as Cassidy, Mia, Angela, Marie, Lena, and Jeanne, are looking forward to the ceremony as their families have always respected the ancient traditions of their ancestors.

And Lust, of course, wouldn't miss a chance to assert her place as the first wife. Still, she also wanted a demonic ceremony as soon as they managed to return to her world and recover her real body, which is undoubtedly one of Lucien's main goals.

So the girls who will not do the ceremony focused entirely on support those who will be doing it. Lord Larousse commanded a group of people to prepare the city's main courtyard for the event, while Lucien took care of the affairs of the kingdom.

The day before the ceremony, he did not train with his troops, but his wives did not want to avoid the night training in the purple world. So the next day, everyone was very energetic and excited.

The ceremony was an event that will never be forgotten in that world. In front of thousands of people, Lucien opened a large golden-purple portal from which his beautiful brides came, leaving everyone stunned by the incredible scene.

That was the first wedding where the bridegroom married so many amazing women. Lust and Cassidy could easily stand out among thousands of women for their incredible beauty, but the other girls were not inferior to them, forming a group of perfect beauties.

Ron, as a wise and experienced man, and also a friend of Lucien, gave blessings not only for Kara but also to the other girls.

Lucien spoke loving and special words to all of his girls individually, and they spent the rest of the day playing games and things typical of wedding parties.

He and Lust did not feel that the lack of training with the troops during those two days was detrimental to their group; on the contrary, the relationship with Lucien and his wives improved further, making their nightly love sessions produce much more demonic energy.

The wedding night was really fantastic. Cassidy was already extremely happy to take her revenge, recovery her late father's crown, and officially become Lucien's wife in all ways possible.

She surprised Lust and Lucien by reaching the second layer of the Mortal Realm right at the beginning of their fun.

That was just the first surprise because soon after that, Angela also reached the second layer, leaving Rose jealous.

Angela couldn't help but be happier with Lucien every day. He treats her so lovingly, helps her become stronger, and also does the same for her daughters.

Still, Angela and Cassidy's latent talent were increasingly amazing. Along with the fact that they felt complete with Lucien and their daughters, their growth in power was unlimited.

Of course, Rose still had some advantages in being from a more powerful race. But she had some fears in her heart about her parents, and that prevented her from growing in power at the same pace as Cassidy and Angela.

In addition to the two Queens that reached new layers, the other girls also experienced significant improvements.

Ghilanna arrived at the Mortal Realm, making her nature affinity stronger. She and Olivia are warriors who also have great magical power and thus could have a very versatile combat style.

In the case of our bold elf, she could not only create explosions of repulsive energy with her charged-arrows but also gained the ability to heal and boost herself with mana now.

Jeanne also reached the Mortal Realm, but apart from a huge improvement in her physical capabilities, she did not awaken a new ability.

Lust again explained that some people did not awaken special abilities in the first layers of the Mortal Realm. Sometimes people even needed to reach other Realms before awakening their first unique abilities.

Another point is that Lust is unable to recognize all the different kinds of abilities, and the people themselves could take a while to understand that they had certain abilities before learning to use them.

Olivia still didn't know how the dot on her face was connected to her black magic just as Anne didn't know what the meaning of her second tail is. Now Jeanne joined the group of girls who still needed to awaken or figure out how to use their special abilities.

But that is not the case for Aria and Ella. The two cute harpy-girls also reached the Mortal Realm and experienced incredible changes in their bodies.

Their strength and endurance did not increase much, making it clear that their nature is more fragile than other races.

But in return, they not only had a significant increase in their agility but also gained the ability to spread their feathers to the point that their arms looked like big wings, and they quickly learned to use it to fly.

Ella was thrilled to make her dream come true, or rather, pleased that Lucien made it real. She and her mother had characteristics of birds but never managed to fly until now.

Still, Arie and Ella made the other girls jealous for awakening another ability along with special mana to use it.

They could use that mana to create sound waves that could be so powerful as to break walls. Luckily, Lucien used other floating rocks to run experiments, or the house could be damaged.

Neola and Kylee also arrived at the Mortal Realm, not on their wedding night but two nights later.

Neola had a massive increase in her physical capabilities and awakened a mysterious energy that neither she nor Lust knew how she could use.

She was delighted with her new strength, which was enough for her to tension eighty percent of Lucien's golden bow.

Lucien gave her the golden bow as he had learned to use the Wind Slash skill on his arrows, making any normal arrow fatal. Still, he preferred to use the Wind Slash with his katana for ranged attacks.

Kylee awoke a passive ability as did Scarlett when reaching the Mortal Realm, but instead of a super tough skin, she had a shocking increase in her strength.

Little Kylee was so strong that none of the girls could surpass her in brute force alone. Even Lucien, in his normal state, was a little weaker than she.

Still, he could easily become stronger than her using his demonic energy that improved all of his capabilities many times.

While the girls got stronger, so did Lucien. In fact, his pace was much higher than theirs because he created demonic energy with many women while he was just one.

His demonic energy was increasingly impressive. Lucien could now use it in more controlled quantities, so he could control his boost, not spending his demonic energy too fast but maintaining a less significant boost for longer or for a few seconds using all of his demonic energy he could overcome even someone from the Earth Realm early layers.

After the wedding night, Lucien was very close to reaching the third layer of the Mortal Realm, impressing Lust again since it had been two weeks since he reached the second layer.

And since Lust was connected to Lucien, sharing his demonic energy, she already had a power equivalent to the second layer of Mortal Realm just like Cassidy and Angela.

Lucien was pleased, seeing his and his wives' power growing so fast. Each step forward was a step closer to the day when he could rescue his mother.

It was also a motivation for Kara, Madelyn, and Rebecca to want to get stronger.

Kara was happy with the pat sessions and wanted to wait until her sixteen birthday as she had agreed with Lucien.

But Madelyn and Rebecca very much wanted to develop their relationship with Lucien to also be stronger at his side.

Of course, even if they didn't have sex yet, there were still many ways that Lucien made them feel good and gave them demonic energy.

And so, Lucien and his wives grew stronger and stronger.

But not only them, but his sisters also got stronger and stronger every day.
