Chapter 197 Wanna Touch
Chapter 197 Wanna Touch
While Lucien "healed" his wounded troops. The people who watched them were confused and impressed.
The adventurers who were clearing the battlefield under Olivia's orders couldn't help but be angry at Lucien, thinking he was mocking them by kissing the women who had killed so many of their friends.
Still, the mercenaries couldn't help but smile, thinking that only a man as bold as Lucien could have "tamed" the fierce Red Lady.
The fact that Lucien's other women, including the Queen, were patiently waiting for him while he kissed other women in front of everyone, made the mercenaries sure that he would be a good leader and not trash like Black Hand.
But of course, Lucien's wives knew what he was doing and did not care about the public opinion as Lucien always treats them so nicely.
Ghilanna, Jeanne, Madelyn, and other girls from the L approached Cassidy and the others.
Madelyn was still shocked by everything she saw. She never expected her idol to return to the city in such a situation. He returned as the husband of the supposed dead Queen, defeated the army of adventurers led by Ivan, and was now kissing his troops... That was all very crazy.
She understood most of the situation but couldn't help asking Cassidy in a perplexed tone. "W-what he is d-doing?"
Cassidy couldn't help but laugh because she knew the situation really should look bizarre to people who don't know Lucien. "He is healing the most injured soldiers."
"Is that h-healing?" Madelyn was even more confused.
Astrid laughed as she spoke proudly. "They fought well, so if he's spoiling them a little bit, it's also good as they deserve it."
"We all fought very well, he will be giving us a lot of reward later," Mia commented aloud.
*Roar*
Oya roared, showing her interest in receiving rewards from Lucien as well, making the girls laugh.
Madelyn and the other girls from the L quickly took a step back in fear of Oya. After all, they saw the big tigress tear heads off as if they were snacks.
Oya was confused since she was not trying to be hostile. Cassidy patted her head while talking to Madelyn. "Don't worry. This big cute cat is very docile."
"But if you express any threat to Lucien..." Ghilanna commented as she lowered her head to the side, making the meaning of her words clear.
Lucien's wives started laughing again, leaving Madelyn and the other girls from L impressed. After all, they seemed very close together as if they were all one big family.
Madelyn looked at Astrid with a jealous look. "Ravenous... When you said about your hubby..."
Astrid smiled. "My name is Astrid, and yes, he is my husband."
"Our husband." Ghilanna corrected her.
Jeanne couldn't help blushing a little while thinking about Lucien. After seeing Dennis, she had the confirmation that her family is now Lucien's, so she no longer had any doubts that she may be his wife.
While the girls talked, Lucien finished taking care of all of his injured troops and approached them. "Oh, this conversation sounds interesting... what are you talking about?"
Cassidy laughed. "You know we're talking about you. Nothing escapes your unbelievable hearing."
Lucien shook his head. "I have full control over the range of my hearing, so I don't use it to spy on your conversation. Not all of them..."
The girls knew that Lucien respects their privacy, and Cassidy was just kidding, so they laughed, and Ghilanna approached Lucien.
He hugged the beautiful elf and sealed her lips with a lovely kiss before she could say anything while talking to her mentally. 'Thank you, my dear.'
Ghialanna knew what Lucien was talking about. On the city's wall, there were many adventure archers who could fire arrows from great distances.
Many of them were elves, and with the help of Madelyn and other girls, Ghilanna knocked them all out.
Well, Ghilanna didn't mind killing some of them as they clearly intended to kill Lucien's troops, but Madelyn's group did not want to kill people as long as they could knock them out.
Ghilanna continued to kiss Lucien while she responded mentally. 'You don't have to thank me. I am your wife, and I will always fight by your side.'
The elf knew she couldn't kiss Lucien forever, like she wanted. So she didn't insist when he ended the kiss. He squeezed her ass while she sniffed his chest before stepping back.
Then Lucien looked at Jeanne. "You were amazing in the battle, my sweetheart."
Jeanne blushed as she approached Lucien. "Did you see me?"
Lucien saw that Jeanne was with Dennis on the top of the wall protecting the common people as they watched the battle as he expected. But right at the start of the battle, Jeanne jumped off the wall and joined his troops.
He nodded to Jeanne and then hugged her. "Are you coming with us now or later?"
Jeanne was wearing a medium-size armor that Rebecca made for her with black steel, and although it is not very big, it still hinders her from hugging Lucien as she wanted.
Still, she tried to hug him as tightly as she could. "I would like to visit Dennis's house when Mason comes back, but just to properly say goodbye. Because from now on, I will not be leaving your side."
Lucien smiled and kissed Jeanne. "I am delighted to hear that, my love."
Madelyn and the other girls from the L were completely flushed from seeing Lucien being so romantic with his wives.
Even though he hadn't been doing anything to them, they couldn't stop their hearts from beating faster while they wondered what it would be like to be in the shoes of Lucien's wives.
Ghilanna thought that as Madelyn and her friends came along with her, she should introduce them to Lucien.
"Ahem, ahem..." Ghilanna made a subtle sound as she approached Madelyn and spoke to Lucien. "This is..."
But Lucien quickly interrupted Ghilanna. "Oh, are you the cat-girl attendant who signed me up for the Guild?"
Madelyn smiled as she blushed even more and lowered her head because of her embarrassment. "D-Do you r-remember me?"
Lucien remembered Madelyn's physical features but not her name. Of course, he heard Ghilanna speak her name and thought she would be happy if he remembered her.
"Madelyn, right? Are you the leader of the group called L?" Lucien continued to smile at Madelyn, leaving her without knowing what to do.
Since seeing Lucien for the first time, Madelyn has not gone a day without thinking about Lucien's beautiful face. And now that he said he remembered her too, she couldn't help but be very happy.
"Yes, yes. Madelyn! It's my name..." Madelyn realized that she was too excited to speak and lowered her head again.
Lucien found the cat-girl's attitude very cute and couldn't help but think out loud. "I would never forget such cute ears."
With his super senses, Lucien did not fail to notice the reaction of Astrid and Oya's ears when Lucien praised Madelyn's ears.
He looked at them with a loving expression. "Don't be jealous. You know how much I love your cute ears."
*Roar*
Oya roared, showing content with Lucien's words while Astrid smiled.
Madelyn was very embarrassed and pleased with Lucien's praise, so she wanted to praise him too, in order not to look like someone ungrateful.
She started by looking at his black boots, which made him look really cool. Then she looked at his chest, which not even his armor could hide the outline of his attractive muscles.
Madelyn felt her body get hot just by looking at Lucien's body. Then she looked at his devilishly handsome face.
She didn't know how to praise him without looking completely in love with him or like the crazy fan that she actually is.
As Lucien had praised her ears, she looked at his, which were actually slightly pointed now, similar to elf's ears.
Madelyn couldn't help being confused because Lucien was not like that when she saw him the first time. Well, he didn't have those horns either…
When she looked at his horns more closely, she was mesmerized. Those dark onyx horns... No matter how much she looked at those horns, they never looked scary but attractive.
"Your horns... they are so cool... soo sexy..." Madelyn only realized that she thought out loud after Lucien's wives began to look at her with strange expressions.
Lucien couldn't help but feel good about Madelyn's praise. Not because he was vain, but because he was proud of his horns even though many people would see it as something strange and diabolical.
In his world, he would certainly be a laughing matter and hatted because of his horns, but he would always be proud of them even if he was not sure what they mean precisely.
He laughed while jokingly talking to Madelyn. "Do you want to touch them?"
"Yes!" Madelyn responded instinctively, but then she realized that everyone was laughing at her and got even more flushed as she thought. 'I really want to touch them, but it would look weird'.
Lucien hugged Cassidy's waist as he spoke to everyone. "Let's get into the city. We can talk in a private and comfortable place."
Everyone agreed and followed Lucien and Cassidy as they walked towards the city gate.
Lucien's troops followed him in a very organized manner while his wives walked right behind him and also beside him.
The mercenaries were following Scarlett to the northern area of the city while the adventurers stayed on the battlefield to clean up the mess and prepare their friend's bodies for a funeral.
Well, almost everyone would have a funeral, as some of the adventurers were in very small pieces while Ivan's statue holding his own head would be taken to Lucien later. He would use that statue in a special place to be immortalized in history.
As Lucien's group entered the city, people were kneeling around them as they spoke. "Long live the Queen, long live the King."
After a long period of chaos and a short period of extreme chaos, Cassidy is finally back. Everyone is hopeful that things will eventually be as good as it was before the chaos started. Well, actually better. Because the new King looks so scary, and attractive, but also very powerful.
And the best is that Olivia and Red Lady were on his side, and they are actually as his wives. Although everything was very shocking, the people were sure that the changes would be good for the city and its people in general.
Peace. They only wanted times of peace after that massacre. And that seemed like Lucien and Cassidy's intention.
Lucien walked hand in hand with Cassidy as they smiled and waved to the people. He knew that as rulers, they had to maintain their reputation of being ruthless, and powerful. But also be known as kind rulers to the people.
Lord Larousse approached them and bowed to Lucien and Cassidy. "My King, my Queen."
"You did well by bringing the people as I ordered. As I said, Mason is expected to arrive with my other troops in approximately two days, so don't worry about it." Lucien said.
Then he continued. "Now organize as many people as you can in the city's main courtyard so that we can make an announcement about the Queen's return."
"Yes, my King." Lord Larousse bowed again as he prepared to leave so that he can do as Lucien ordered, but then he looked at Jeanne.
Jeanne quickly spoke to make her point clear. "My place is next to Lucien. He... He will be my husband."
Lord Larousse knew that he could do nothing to change that. In fact, he would be selfish to expect Jeanne to take care of him and his son even though she was just his sister-in-law.
Part of him was happy that she found her place and was able to start raising a family with Lucien. Although he looked strange, Dennis was sure that Lucien takes good care of his family.
Lord Larousse said goodbye to Jeanne and went to organize the people in the city's main courtyard, as Lucien had ordered.
Lucien and his women proceeded to that courtyard, which is close to the main buildings of the Guild. He also wanted to visit the L secret group, as the adventurers there seem more reasonable than those who blindly followed Ivan.
