Lust Knight

Chapter 207 Overcoming the Sadness

Olivia was feeling very comfortable. In fact, her body knew that there was no place where she could feel more comfortable than right there.

Still, Lucien's movements toward the bathroom slowly began to awaken her body.

The wonderful smell, that comforting warmth, that closeness... everything in that situation aroused Olivia's body, getting her ready to do some love action.

As she woke up, Olivia understood that her beloved husband was carrying her. She used her hands, which were already around his neck, to caress his ears while sniffing his chest in an adorable way.

Lucien went into the bathroom with Olivia and activated the magic engine that fills the bathtub with hot water. He would take a bath with Olivia alone today and would have to make it up to Oya another day.

While the magic engine is filling the bathtub with hot water, Lucien entered it, still holding Olivia in his arms. They were already naked, so there was no problem, such as getting their clothes wet.

Olivia rubbed her face on Lucien's chest as she finished waking up. Then she looked at him with her beautiful black eyes shining with a loving smile.

"Love you," Olivia spoke honestly.

She knew that thanks to Lucien and Lust's peculiarities, in addition to the fact that he is incredibly handsome and attractive, it is easy to fall in love with him. Still, she could feel in her heart that is a little traumatized, that her feelings for him are already genuine, and would only improve over time.

Lucien also understood how difficult it is for women who can't resist his charm to understand whether their feelings for him are really genuine.

But thanks to the connection they have from the tattoo and also because of how honest his wives are with him, he is sure of their feelings for him. So he couldn't help loving them back.

Lucien smiled at Olivia as he kissed her lips slowly, enjoying the delicious taste that her mouth kept thanks to his life mana, even though she is just waking up.

"Good Morning." He smiled and kissed her again.

So he kept his forehead against hers as he spoke lovingly. "Love you too, darling."

Olivia couldn't help but reflect on her life. The tragedy that happened to her family, all of the suffering that was inflicted on her, the mistakes that she made…

Those things could have been avoided, but in the end, by going through all that shit, she found the place where she must belong.

Arriving here, in Lucien's arms... That was her destiny. Here she can have all the love, affection, and protection she needs, and more, of course.

Maybe Olivia will never forget about her scars, but why should she keep looking for revenge when all she wants now is to be with Lucien and enjoy his infinite love?

Everyone is different and has different experiences. Scarlett still wanted to free her brother while Lucien supported her revenge, but Olivia had no other thoughts than to be a good wife for her wonderful husband.

And to completely end that part of her life, she wants to tell Lucien everything about her past.

She brought Lucien's hand to her face. "The scars you healed... I want to tell you about them."

Lucien nodded as he rested Olivia's head on his chest so that she is comfortable while telling her story.

"I was from a noble family that took care of a small vassal kingdom, like Bluewind. In fact, our home was north of Bluewind, so it is in the northernmost area of ​​Portgreen."

"Everything was going well. Cassidy's father, the Sage King, was improving Portgreen more and more, and my family was one of his most important supporters."

"Since Portgreen was founded with the intention of being a place where it would accept humans and demi-humans as equals, many people from the Alliance were migrating here, wanting a neutral place to live."

"But for a kingdom to prosper, its rulers must act politically. Many Alliance demi-humans who came here would no longer be soldiers who would fight for their clans against the Light Empire."

"So this migration of demi-humans as well as the growth of Portgreen caught the attention of powerful people in the Alliance."

In this part of the story, Lust couldn't help commenting on Lucien's mind. 'Again, the powerful people of the Alliance... The good thing is that our enemies seem to be together in the same place.'

Lucien compared the situations between Scarlett and Astrid and noticed them to be similar. But that is to be expected since they have similarities in their past, they both came from the Alliance, and are involved with the two most powerful clans, the werewolf clan, and the manticore clan.

But in Olivia's case, who is a human born in Portgreen, it seemed to be a great coincidence. Well, Lucien continued to listen to Olivia's story.

"At that time, the general leadership of the Alliance belonged to the werewolf clan, and so the manticore clan was doing everything to rise above everyone and train powerful warriors to overcome the werewolf clan and become the next general leaders."

"The manticore patriarch's son did not get along very well with his father because he was very ambitious and wanted to lead the clan in his own way, so he started to divide his people and create his own strategies."

"Since the patriarch of the manticore clan was an extremist who defended the purity of his blood, he was against people from the Alliance going to Portgreen and living with humans as equals, and so his son started to think differently."

"Well, maybe he didn't think very differently from his father, but he certainly wanted to ally with the people of Portgreen to have more forces so that he can fight his father for the leadership of his clan."

"He came with a large group bringing rare materials from the Alliance lands and other gifts. His group came by land, so they arrived first in the small kingdom that my family managed."

"At that time, everything was going well for Portgreen and Its vassal kingdoms. We were rich and had many warriors. My family was rising fast."

"Marvin, the son of the patriarch of the manticore clan, though since he isn't a clan leader, it would be difficult for him to reach an agreement with Sage King. So he tried starting by creating bonds with my family."

"At that time, I was seventeen years old... A noble, beautiful, virgin girl, and from a rising family with famous ancestors."

Lucien stroked Olivia's face. "You are very beautiful, Olivia. Even those scars could not hide your beauty."

Olivia smiled, happy at Lucien's compliment. "Thank you, hubby. I'm glad you think so."

So she continued explaining her story. "Well, Marvin was a man who already had many women, but he was enchanted by my beauty. Maybe the fact that he is demi-human made him see me as an exotic woman."

"We didn't know that he was in conflict with his father. He declared himself to be a prince of one of the biggest clans in the Alliance, and he had an army and treasures, so we don't doubt that."

"Then he started courting me in a very respectful way. He said he wanted to marry me to start uniting our people."

"My mother and I never had the affection of my father because he always blamed us for not having the same dark magic as my grandmother..."

"I wasn't in love with Marvin. Still, I couldn't help but be attracted by the opportunity to marry a man who would take care of my mother and me so that we wouldn't have to hear my dad calling us useless anymore."

"My father was happy with the idea of ​​gaining many treasures in addition to Marvin's support in exchange for me. Also, he had nothing against my mother and grandmother, who was too old to go with Marvin and me to the Alliance."

"As everyone involved was in agreement, my marriage to Marvin was arranged. He said he would return to Alliance to bring more treasures to my father and also to bring his mother to meet my family and bless our union."

"Marvin really did as he said. He wanted his mother to be proof of the alliance he was making to improve his clan and, of course, upset his father."

"The patriarch of the manticore clan found out about everything and followed his son and wife to my home..."

Olivia couldn't help but be melancholy when talking about that part. But like Scarlett and all of Lucien's other wives, she felt very safe in his embrace, which also calmed her chaotic feelings.

Then she continued. "The first thing that monstrous man did…was punch me in the face. He didn't use enough strength to kill me, but he used the poison in his claws so that I would die in a slow and horrible way."

"I think Marvin really felt something for me because he quickly tried to help me. He covered my face in his blood to neutralize his father's poison."

"But the patriarch of the clan manticore was considered by many as one of the strongest manticore-men in his clan's history. His poison was much more potent than the poison resistance in Marvin's blood."

"With the help of Marvin's blood, the poison on the outside parts of my face and right eye was stopped. So I didn't die... But no known medicine or magic on our continent could heal my scars."

"The patriarch didn't stop with that... he started brutally killing my family... I begged Marvin for help, but he didn't consider me his fiancée anymore after he realized he couldn't heal my face."

"At that moment, I understood the value of beauty... I thought that no man would help me because my face was disfigured..."

Olivia couldn't help but smile when she remembered her first with Lucien. Although he had been a little hard on her, in fact, he only gave her pleasure, and she felt no pain.

Lucien appreciated beauty like anyone else, but that is not a crucial feature for him. He knew he is lucky that all his women are beauties, and that actually also had to do with his life mana that made their bodies younger and more refined, but he would love them anyway.

When he had sex the first time with Olivia, they were both delighted, and he felt no aversion for her body even though she had the scars. That was one of the main reasons Olivia opened her heart to Lucien.

Now Olivia considers her beauty not as something essential to have Lucien's love, but as an additional feature that she can use to please him even more.

Lucien continued to stroke Olivia's hair while she finished her story. "The patriarch of the manticore clan intended to kill everyone in my family to make it clear that his clan would not be allied with humans."

"But my grandmother, even though she was very old, still managed to use some of her dark magic and ran away with me."

"My family was killed, and my house destroyed... My grandmother asked the Sage King for help. He was a friend of hers, and she wanted to seek justice for our family."

"The Sage King did not think twice before preparing to go to the Alliance after the manticore clan. Even if he couldn't go to war with them, he would at least try asking the werewolf clan leader for some kind of punishment or justice.."

"But then the Light Empire attacked the Alliance. They also wanted to kill Portgreen's demi-humans and the humans who are friends with demi-humans."

"The Sage King could not get justice for my family because he died fighting against the Light Empire, and the last member of my family, my grandmother, also died fighting beside him."

Lucien couldn't help being sad, feeling Olivia's sadness when she remembered how she was alone, hurt, and traumatized…

Again, he felt weak because he couldn't erase her sad past. But just as he would with his other wives, he would take care of Olivia forever and will give her a lot of love and protection.

Lucien continued to hug Olivia while kissing her head. She continued to sniff and kiss his chest while feeling comfortable and safe in the place where she wants to be whenever possible…

... in the arms of her beloved husband.
