Lust Knight

Chapter 158 It's Complicated

Dawn was very confused by Light Envoy's reaction. She didn't even seem to be listening to her report, but when she heard the name of the mysterious man, she was... Excited?

"Bluewind, my lady. He is in Bluewing, a small Kingdom of Portgreen." Dawn respectfully responded and kept her head down.

Amelia made a thoughtful expression. "Humm... Portgreen? That Kingdom you said would be useful for us?"

Dawn explained. "Yes, my lady. As I said before, if we can take Portgreen, we will have a considerable advantage against the Alliance."

"We can use the lands of Portgreen to let our armies rest and recovery. Also, from Portgreen, we can access the Alliance quickly, not only by land but also by sea."

Amelia ignored Dawn and communicated mentally with Envy. 'What do you think?'

Envy quickly replied. 'We need to conquer as many Kingdoms as possible... But your brother... If he is with Sloth, he will not try anything, but…'

'As I said before, he is probably with Lust. So, that can be a problem as he will also explore pleasure in conquering.'

Amelia made a disappointed expression. 'Lust... You said that she is the weakest. So wouldn't it be better for him to join us, and work together? '

Envy hesitated for a few seconds before answering. 'Yes, it would be best for him to join us, but as Lust's nature seeks pleasure, you would have to... Well, provide him with whores or something like that.'

"Not that!" Amelia spoke out loud, alarming Dawn. Then she turned and walked over to the window.

'Is there no other way, Envy?' Amelia tried to calm down and continued to talk mentally with envy.

Again Envy hesitated before speaking. 'Well... You could give him pleasure. But only you alone would not be able to supply all his needs.'

Amelia blushed while thinking it would be amazing to be with her handsome brother, but she could never cross that line. 'I will talk to him, and together we can reach a better conclusion for everyone.'

Envy said nothing because she already knew Amelia's stubborn personality, but she knew that things would not be so friendly.

Envy thought that she and Amelia would have to contain Lust and Lucien with their power as the four could not work on equal terms with their dominant natures.

Amelia looked at Dawn. "Prepare a carriage. We are going to Bluewind."

Dawn bowed and started to step back. "I'll prepare the troops."

"Wait! I said a carriage. Only you and I are going. Nobody must know about this." Amelia spoke in a stern tone.

Dawn made a worried expression. "My lady, it is very dangerous to go to enemy territory without an army."

Amelia made a stern expression. "Did you forget who I am? Nobody is stronger than me in this world. The Light God himself sent me!! Also, it's better if we do this discreetly."

Dawn shivered and bowed. In the first sparring session they had, Dawn was defeated by Amelia in a single unarmed blow. Dawn is one of the strongest people in the world. So Amelia, who is sent by a God, has almost the power of a God.

"Sorry, my lady, Holy Light Envoy. I will prepare the carriage right now." Dawn responded but didn't move, waiting for Amelia's confirmation.

Amelia waved a hand. "Go quickly. Wait for me outside the north gates."

Dawn went quickly to prepare the carriage. Because she is the only Marshal of the Light Empire, her authority is only below the King.

Still, after the King became mysteriously ill, she has almost all of his power, responding directly to the Light Envoy.

So Dawn could easily get out of town with no one noticing, asking questions, or creating any problem.

Amelia went back to the window and continued looking at the sky with an expectant and slightly concerned expression while remembering her interactions with Lucien.

-------------------------

Five years ago, mountain fortress.

It was 1:30 pm, lunchtime for Lucien and his sisters. They could use the time from 01:00 pm until 02:00 pm to eat and rest before going back to their training routines.

Some sisters are resting in their bedrooms while Amelia, Sophia, and Lucien were on the patio next to the dining room.

Lucien had a wooden katana in his hand, practicing movements of various types while trying to learn them to the point they become muscle memory.

Amelia has always been an excellent swordsman, so she knew that Lucien was making some wrong moves, and she couldn't help but comment on it.

"Tsk… You don't know what you're doing."

Lucien continued to practice his moves. "This is how my teacher taught me. What am I doing wrong?"

She was eighteen now and was already considered one of the strongest warriors of the Kingdom, even though she was only in the second layer of the Mortal Realm.

Amelia shook her head. "That old man doesn't know anything. I'm saying it's wrong, so it's wrong."

Amelia really was a genius when it came to medium blades. Her teachers were unable to compare to her talent, and she could see flaws in the techniques that others thought were perfect.

Lucien wasn't jealous of Amelia's talent, but he would undoubtedly be happy to have at least ten percent of her abilities.

He continued to do as his teacher taught him. "Maybe this isn't up to your standards. But for me, and my talent. it is acceptable for now. How about you teach me something?"

Amelia started to eat a cookie. "Right now it's time to rest, so why don't you take a break?"

Sophia, who was sitting at a table, drinking juice and watching Lucien. Couldn't help commenting. "Yes, she's right. You should take a break like everyone else. Father only gives us a small amount of time to rest, so we should enjoy it."

"I'm fine." Lucien wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to practice the movements with the katana.

Amelia was annoyed by his behavior. "Why are you so stubborn?!"

Lucien replied. "Stubborn? I'm just trying my best. I wasn't born strong like you. I have the strength of a simple peasant. The most remarkable thing about me is my agility, and that still sucks compared to you."

"And will you just keep complaining? I'm telling you that you're doing it wrong, but you don't want to listen to me." Then Amelia threw the cookie at Lucien.

Lucien was upset. "Why don't you teach me the correct way then?! You're the only one complaining!!"

Amelia got up from the chair, picked her katana from the table, and went towards Lucien. "Okay, you asked for it."

Sophia got up and ran towards them. "Stop, Amelia!! Your sword is real. This is not fair!! You will hurt him."

Lucien motioned for Sophia to stop. "Stay there, I'm fine."

Sophia muttered and stopped moving towards them. Still, she stayed close to them and started channeling her life mana so she could heal Lucien in case something happened. Amelia was not known for being kind.

Amelia pointed her katana at Lucien. Her blade was so sharp that it shone. "Look carefully because I'm only going to show you once."

Lucien raised his katana and prepared to imitate Amelia's movements.

But she didn't make moves in the air as he did. She ran towards Lucien and made a quick horizontal cut. She held her speed so Lucien could follow her attack, allowing him to dodge.

Then Amelia started to make more complex cutting movements. Lucien managed to dodge her blade, but she hit him with katana hilt attacks and her knee.

Although Amelia was holding back her speed and strength, her blows were merciless, and Lucien was suffering from cuts and bruises.

Lucien wanted to imitate Amelia's movements, but she kept attacking, and he could only try to defend.

After a minute, Amelia started to increase the speed of her movements, and after making a few cuts on Lucien with her blade, she jumped while making a great vertical strike towards him.

He was unable to move well because of his injuries, so he raised his wooden katana to defend against her strike.

*Slice*

*Thud*

Of course, Amelia's sharp katana easily cut Lucien's wooden katana in half. She quickly pulled her blade back but slammed her knee into his chest, and pinned him to the floor.

Then Amelia quickly used the back of her blade against Lucien's neck and held him down. "Did you see how it should be done?"

Lucien tried to move, but Amelia kept her katana firmly against his neck. He couldn't compete with half her strength, so he couldn't do anything.

Amelia didn't want to hurt Lucien, but she was always a little nervous around him and ended up acting differently than she really wanted to.

She got distracted while looking at his face, which became more handsome every day. It caused her to not realize that she kept pressing him against the floor.

Even while all sweaty, Lucien's scent was very good, and Amelia's body started to get hot. She also started to notice something hard on her ass.

"Dammit, Amelia!! You hurt him!!!" Amelia was pushed aside by Sophia, who quickly started using her healing magic on Lucien's wounds.

While her fingers glowed with green light, Sophia ran her hand over Lucien's body. She didn't really need to touch his skin for her magic to work, but she seemed to be enjoying physical contact with her beloved brother.

"Thank you." Lucien thanked Sophia for the heal.

Sophia blushed and didn't even realize she was still caressing Lucien's chest, where her magic had already healed his wounds. "I... This is nothing... I am a healer... So, healing is my job."

Lucien felt that a cut on his waist was bleeding, so he took her hand and moved it to the wound. "Heal me here, please."

Sophia blushed even more when Lucien took her hand. She could barely focus on her healing magic. "Yes, yes. My bad."

Lucien was fifteen while Sophia was sixteen. Because of that fact, she has matured a little before him and has already sexual thoughts. But Lucien was always focused on his training to avenge his mother.

Also, his personality was cold and depressed, so he never even notice Sophia's blush and smile while healing him, as well as other of her signs.

But Amelia, who was at their side, understood what was going on. It was no secret that Sophia has a great affection for Lucien.

Of course, they all loved their brother, but Sophia was a little suspicious. And that made Amelia very upset, even she didn't know why it upset her.

Lucien looked at Amelia with his usual neutral expression. "Thanks, I was able to learn a lot from your movements."

Amelia made an upset expression. "I just hurt you. You shouldn't be thanking someone for beating you."

Lucien really learned from Amelia's movements as she controlled her speed. He realized that the movements his teacher taught him are not the best, so he was grateful to her.

But if she didn't want his gratitude, there was nothing else to say. So Lucien ignored Amelia and focused on watching Sophia's hands because she seemed to be distracted while healing him.

Amelia was furious because Lucien ignored her. She turned and walked away but could not help commenting. "Damn, you are an idiot!!"

Lucien ignored Amelia, but then Sophia started to giggle, leaving him confused. "You really are an idiot."

---------------------------

Now.

Amelia giggled as she remembered that she never really had any good interactions with Lucien. She was always eager and upset around him.

But Sophia always looked comfortable and happy around Lucien. He always seemed to be nice to Sophia, so Amelia was a little jealous of their relationship.

"Well... Now that Sophia is not here, maybe we can get along better... Yes, he will need my help... So…" Amelia thought aloud as she looked up at the starry night sky.

"Yes... My idiot brother... You will have to look at me now."
