Lust Knight (Web Novel)

As Lucien and Eve wait on the stage, more and more people arrive in that courtyard. Most of them are women, but there are also some men among them.

The women very much want to approach Eve to thank her for the peacetime, but they are afraid to bother the Great Queen or fail to stop looking at Lucien.

Some men want to approach Lucien and say that they accepted Clovis's suggestion to go to Portgreen and start a new life or just talk to the most incredible man today, but they are terrified of Eve.

So the fox-people just waits around the stage, trying to be silent and not face the Queen and the King. Some of them are more courageous and sit on the benches but remain silent, creating a strange atmosphere.

"I think that's why our father didn't let us wander out of that fortress," Lucien comments as he strokes Eve's thigh.

Eve sighs. "He's still an idiot! We can't forgive him for all the shit he did to our moms and us."

He knows that his mother is alive, but Eve's mother did die because their father did not protect her, something that neither Eve nor Lucien can forgive.

"Are you going to kill him when we get back?" He asks.

"I thought you were going to want to kill him first." She responds.

Lucien makes a thoughtful expression. "I really wanted to kill him for what he did to my mom, but that doesn't make sense anymore. Still, I can't forgive him because of the way he treats my sisters and step-mothers."

Eve smiles at him. "I hope you keep thinking like that because taking care of everyone alone is a tough job."

He takes her hand and begins to stroke her fingers with his. "Let's take care of them together from now on, okay? You can count on me for anything."

"I know..." She responds while thinking about something, but then she looks away. "Anyway... We shouldn't be thinking about complicated things right now. Today is a special day for your and your wives."

Lucien can see that Eve is hiding something, and he can feel that she is doing it because she thinks it is the best for him. Whatever the problem, he wants to help her, but he also wants her to let him help willingly.

He looks up at the starry sky as he continues to hold her hand. "What do you think of them? I mean, my lovers."

Eve makes a thoughtful expression. "When you told me you had many wives, I was very worried. Pride told me how Lust's powers work, and I feared that you had become someone like our father..."

"If you had become someone who uses your family just to gain power, it would have been my fault as big sister. Also, I thought they could be with you for power or just because you are so handsome." She continues.

Then she smiles. "But anyone can see that you really love them and treat them with great responsibility and respect."

"And they..." Eve smiles even more. "Since you left Laure's house, your girls haven't stopped talking about you while trying to be as beautiful as possible just for you."

"They even tried to be nice to me and ask things about me and our sisters, but in the end, they were more interested in asking about your childhood, the things you like or dislike."

"And when some of them go out to work something out, they come back with bright smiles and flushed expressions, making everyone understand that they've been with you for a while."

Lucien is very happy with Eve's words. He was very concerned about what she thinks of his wives. "I'm glad you are getting along with them."

Eve also puts her other hand on top of Lucien's hand as she smiles at him. "Things look so complicated... but as long as we are together, we can be happy."

"I completely agree." He responds.

So they stay silent as they watch the stars and the two moons, thinking about their two sisters who are not with them yet, but that will soon be.

Another ten minutes pass while the fox-people watch Lucien and Eve. Then they see him pointing towards the sky, in the direction of Laure's house.

Everyone is curious and looks in that direction, getting immediately shocked by one of the most incredibly beautiful scenes they have ever seen or heard about.

Below that beautiful starry sky, another glow illuminates the night. A multicolored glow generated by giant fire-birds that fly in front of big ice-horses that run in the air, pulling large stone carriages adorned with flowers.

Even Lucien is impressed by the cooperation of his girls. The big fire-birds fly in several directions, controlled only by Maggie. At the same time, Angela, Marie, and Lena make the ice horses look as natural as living creatures as they pull the stone carriages made by Rose and Daisy.

*Whoosh*

The fire-birds fly lower, passing just above the people in the courtyard, making them feel even their warmth.

"Whoa!!!" People exclaim and laugh while they are excited by the show.

Then the fire-birds make a curve in the air while the ice horses pull the carriages in a circle around the courtyard, slowly descending with each complete turn.

People can feel the heat from the fire-birds and the cold from the ice-horses when they fly very close to the ground, making them even more impressed.

Lucien and Eve stand above the stage while also being impressed by the show. He can also hear his troops coming towards the stage in an organized manner. He knows that Neola gave them specific orders.

As the carriages approach the ground, Lucien's troops, all dressed in their black armor, open up a large space in the middle of the courtyard, respectfully asking the fox-people to step aside.

Half the troops create a circle around that clean area while the other half make two lines up to the stage, creating a corridor between them. Also, they start tossing flowers on the floor, where Lucien's wives will walk over.

The fox-people, especially the young fox-girls, get more and more excited as they watch the ice-horses land on the ground. Then the carriage doors collapse, turning to dust, which starts to fall but quickly becomes stone stairs.

"WOW!!!" That kind of manipulation of the earth element is an easy task for Rose and Daisy, but it is still an incredible show for the fox-people, who begin to applause and praise.

Then the first person gets out of one of the carriages. It is Laure, wearing a beautiful light brown long dress, with a nice hairstyle and moderate makeup, which still makes her rock the heart of any man as she is a charming mature beauty.

The fox-people applause and praise Laure as they think she looks very beautiful and they also like her very much because she is such a kind person, as well as part of the royalty of the fox-clan.

Before Laure takes a step, Clovis appears from among Lucien's troops and heads towards his beloved wife. He is also wearing a nice brown suit and then starts walking towards the stage arm in arm with her.

Laure and Clovis slowly walk down the corridor made by the troops towards Lucien while people applaud them. Then when they are almost halfway there, another woman leaves that carriage.

It's a beautiful young fox-girl, which makes the fox-people very proud and applaud even more. Anne, with a beautiful hairstyle and medium-sized brown dress, smiles and waves at her people.

The young fox-girls go crazy with excitement as they jump and praise Anne. It is impossible not to know someone as friendly as her and everyone is very happy for her.

Eve, beside Lucien, laughs. "She is so popular."

He nods. "Yes, she is wonderful."

After waving at her people, Anne takes a bowl that Elsie hands over to her. That is an ornamented stone bowl, and inside it is the powder made from the angels' feathers and her chosen flower, which is visible to everyone because the bowl is not very deep.

She starts walking towards the stage while holding the bowl with both hands. As she walks down the flower corridor, she smiles with a slightly flushed expression, making her look even more adorable.

"So cute!!"

"Beautiful!!!"

"Adorable!!!"

"Anne is really a princess!!"

People continue to praise Anne, but what makes her happier is Lucien's cheerful expression and the compliments he is doing in her mind.

She can't help but remember the first time they met. At that time, he said that she should serve him in exchange for his help.

Although she was a young virgin, she didn't think it would be any bad thing to have sex with someone so attractive. But after getting to know him better and falling in love with him, she can't help but be thankful for being on his way.

As she walks, she thinks that ceremony is something important, but she already belongs to him since the first moment they met, and he already promised to take care of her forever.

As soon as she is almost halfway there and Laure is almost on the stage, another woman steps out of that carriage.

Making the fox-people even happier, it's another beautiful young fox-girl. Elsie swings her brown hair while she smiles at her people too.

With a cheerful and confident expression, Elsie is not extremely friendly like Anne. Still, she is also very loved by her people, who thought she would be their leader in the future, yet now they are also happy that she is marrying the man who she loves, which as a bonus is the most handsome man in the world.

Already holding her flower bowl, Elsie starts walking towards Lucien while also thinking about how she met him. The fact that they met a short time ago does not change the fact that she really loves him and does not regret their relationship has evolved so fast.

"The first princess is so amazing!!"

"Too beautiful!!"

"So charming and confident!!"

People also praise and applaud Elsie, even calling her the first princess, a title they don't use much as Luise and Elsie act like gentle leaders and not nobility.

"A girl who knows what she wants," Eve comments as she smiles.

Lucien nods as he smiles at Elsie. "I knew I couldn't separate her from Anne as soon as I saw her. They deserve to be happy together. And it's a bonus that she's as cute as Anne."

"What about her mother? Luise is my second most loyal servant, so she won't be happy about Ghalenna coming with us, and she won't." Eve comments, making Lust materialize her body and wink at her.

"Why don't you invite her to come with us?" He asks.

She smiles. "You know, we will need a great portal to take all the troops into our world. It would help if you could take her in your purple world."

"We can talk about it later." He responds before greeting Clovis and Laure on the stage. They position themselves in the corner as they watch the girls walking towards Lucien.

As soon as Elsie is almost halfway and Anne is arriving on the stage, the fire-birds fly towards the ground, and as soon as they are a hundred meters above the courtyard, they transform into a giant fire-tigress, which opens her mouth to roar.

Everyone is silent, waiting to hear the roar of that fire-tigress, but that is just Maggie's magic and disappears without making a sound.

Then they look at the carriage again, very curious as to who will be the next woman to get out of it.

However, surprising everyone, it's not a 'woman' but a little girl, a beautiful and cute tiger-girl.

Holding a smaller bowl with her chosen flower, Ko, in demi-human form, wearing a lovely white dress and with a very cute hairstyle, smiles at everyone, imitating Anne and Elsie.

"Meow..." She let out a cute moan due to being very excited about the ceremony.

"SO CUTE!!!!!" Everyone cries out while some women even feel like they're going to pass out due to Ko's incredible cuteness.

"She is my new little sister!" Eve comments as she feels very much like running and hugging Ko, just as everyone else wants, of course.
