Chapter 170 - A little of Diplomacy

Chapter 170 - A little of Diplomacy

Lucien wouldn’t mind killing his enemies without a second thought. But Enzo was not an enemy, just a jealous idiot.

He knew the Bloody Rose was influencing his feelings and making him more violent and unstable. So Lucien wants to solve the problem with Enzo passively in order to prove to himself that he is the only one in control of his own body.

Lucien spoke calmly to Enzo. "You can’t lose her because you never really had had her heart."

Enzo was even more furious. "You don’t know what you’re talking about!! We met in a slave ship nine years ago, and since then, we have promised to protect each other forever."

Lucien was curious about Neola’s story. All he knew was that she came from the eastern continent, but he hadn’t had many conversations with her yet.

But he didn’t want to know about her from others, so he stayed focused on the Enzo issue.

"And now you want to prevent her from getting stronger just because you won’t be her husband? Is that how you show your love?"

Enzo could not deny Lucien’s logic, but he could use his words against him. "Would you give up any of your women if someone said that they would be better away from you?"

Lucien didn’t need to think for a second because he felt with all his body and soul that he could never let go of any of his wives.

"I would not leave them because it would never be the best for them. I will always continue to do my best to be able to give everything they need and to be the best for them."

Enzo could feel the sincerity in Lucien’s words, and he agreed that a man should be like that, responsible for his family and the people he loves.

But as that also affects the woman he loves, Enzo could not give up. "So, you tell me to do something that you wouldn’t do?"

Lucien shook his head. "On the contrary, I am now telling you what I would do in your situation and advising you to do the same."

Enzo made a confused expression, and Lucien quickly explained. "The situation is quite simple: You lived a shitty life in the forest. I was supposed to kill you, but because I needed troops, now we are in this position where I am giving you the means to become stronger to serve me."

"This is not a secret, so you understand how I can make women stronger quickly, but this method doesn’t work on men."

"Now, for the female troops, it is best to be with me, but I am not abandoning you and the other male troops. Ron is training you very well. Also, there are many other ways to help someone get stronger, so at some point, I will find something to help you guys."

"So, if you can’t be the best for Neola right now, you can keep trying, and maybe when you’re stronger, you can try to be better for her than me."

Enzo frowned. "Do you want me to continue serving you while you have s.e.x with my woman?"

Lucien sighed. "Yes, but you’re not serving me because I’m forcing you, but because it’s the best chance for you to get stronger. And you can’t do anything right now other than to keep working hard."

Enzo didn’t know if he was more confused or angry. "Why are you doing this?"

Lucien quickly responded. "I know what it’s like to lose someone I loved because I was weak. I’m now trying my best to get her back, so I understand your situation."

Now Enzo was really confused. How did the almighty devil lose someone because he was weak?

He was a little less angry as he wanted to know more about it. "Who did you lose? One of your many wives?"

Lucien couldn’t help but make a sad expression. "My mother."

Enzo couldn’t help being a little sad too. After all, he was taken from his mother many years ago. "Why didn’t your father protect her? That shouldn’t be your responsibility."

Lucien shook his head. "He’s weak... But I don’t blame him for that. I blame myself."

"A man must be strong to protect his family. She is my mother, and I was unable to protect her. Now I’m going to get her back and protect her forever. My weak and stupid father no longer has anything to do with us."

Enzo can’t help but be saddened by Lucien’s situation and rethink his current position. He was creating confusion, but Neola was not suffering injustice but receiving several benefits.

At the same time, he also had excellent opportunities, and yet he was complaining and revolting against the one who is helping them.

Enzo looked at Lucien now only with confusion in his eyes and maybe a little pity but no more anger.

"So, if you are doing your best to get your mother back, wouldn’t it be better to eliminate a problem like me?"

Lucien smiled. "Maybe so. But I don’t think so because I believe that having soldiers motivated by something more than just a good life is a big advantage for me."

Lucien took a step closer to Enzo while making a friendly expression. "I will continue to do my best to get my mother back and protect my family, so you must also do your best to get Neola back."

"All I’m doing for her now is making her a stronger soldier, but we don’t have a romantic relationship since she is also doing this for her own benefits."

Enzo knew that Lucien was friendly to him. Everyone knew that the female troops were in love with their devilishly handsome master.

Still, Lucien’s words about always trying his best to be a responsible man motivated Enzo to keep trying hard to be the best option for Neola, and even if she was taken from him now, Lucien would not stop him from trying to get her back.

Enzo nodded to Lucien. "I see... I still don’t like you, and I’m going to keep trying to get Neola back. But I now realize that creating problems was childish on my part, and it doesn’t help me at all."

Lucien smiled. "Exactly. I understand that it is bad and unpleasant to lose someone you love because you are weak, but all I am doing is the best for her now."

"You can continue to improve yourself because I will continue to give you the best opportunities and resources I can, and in the future, you can become the best option for her."

Enzo smiled. "You’re a strange devil."

Lucien chuckled. "Indeed."

Then he held out his hand to Enzo. "So, let’s stop having stupid problems and just focus on making ourselves better always to be the best option for the women we love?"

Enzo hesitated for a second, but he couldn’t deny that he agreed with Lucien’s words.

Then he shook Lucien’s hand. "Okay, I will stop being a childish idiot, but I will not give up on Neola. And someday I will get her back."

Lucien nodded as he shook Enzo’s hand. "I’m sure you will try your best."

Enzo didn’t start to like Lucien just because of a conversation, but he certainly started to have a different opinion about that devil.

Lucien no longer seemed so selfish and depraved, but just a guy, trying to be someone better, which he should also be doing.

They shook hands for a few more seconds before Lucien spoke. "Well, now I have to go back to training the girls, and you have to continue training with Ron."

Enzo agreed. "Yes. If I’m going to be your rival, I have to get stronger quickly to get Neola back."

"Okay, tell the others that I wish them a good day of training. I’ll leave now. See you." Then Lucien turned to go to the female troop’s barracks.

"See you... Boss..." Enzo couldn’t deny that Lucien was not a bad leader. On the contrary, he began to see Lucien as someone very fair, even if brutal sometimes.

Lucien was pleased that he managed to remain calm with Enzo, but a part of him didn’t want to leave without saying something else...

That part of his personality that loves to tease others was screaming inside him for one last thing...

Lucien stopped as he spoke without turning around. "Just to make it clear... I’m going to offer an opportunity for Kylee and Neola now..."

"And they’ll probably give me their v.i.r.g.i.nities."

"YOU!!!" Enzo was furious with jealousy again, but Lucien disappeared before he could start a discussion.

Enzo wanted to remain angry. Still, he couldn’t help but smile. Although Lucien had the upper hand now, he motivated him to become strong, someone to be the best option for the woman he loves.

And Enzo would follow that plan. He would try his best to be like Lucien, and one day he would have as many women as the handsome devil... And Neola in his arms as well.

Actually, he could succeed it... If he didn’t choose the devil himself as a rival, of course.

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

As Lucien went to the female troops’ barracks, L.u.s.t asked in his mind. ’Are you really going to let him live to create future problems?’

Lucien answered honestly. ’I really think a soldier motivated by love is better than being motivated only by their own good.’

’But, are you going to let him live, knowing that he desires your wife?’ L.u.s.t tried to tease him.

Lucien smiled. ’Do you really think that someone can be a better option for my wives?’

’Of course not. If you were not the best, you could not have conquered the heart of the L.u.s.t herself.’ L.u.s.t responded.

’Hahaha, well said, my dear.’

Lucien responded, and then he explained his point. ’There will always be people wanting my women because they are incredible.’

’I can’t just kill everyone, but I know that they love me, and I will always be the best for them, so there is no risk of them wanting to leave me.’

L.u.s.t loves Lucien’s resolution. ’Certainly, no woman would want to leave your arms. Still, I don’t like that man’s insubordination.’

’I will be brutal to who deserves it. Enzo is just a jealous guy. Now I believe that he will not cause any more problems. Maybe he will even become a friend later.’ Lucien responded.

L.u.s.t could only be more and more fascinated by Lucien. He was never predictable, on the contrary, he always acted in different ways, but in the end, his solutions seemed the best.

Lucien quickly arrived at the barracks. He went straight to the dining room, where the women were having breakfast.

"Master! Good morning!!" Everyone happily exclaimed when they saw him.

Lucien had nothing against his male troops, but he absolutely felt more comfortable among his women. They not only have a lot of respect and gratitude for him but also affection and love.

"Don’t rush your breakfast. Today we will have special training." Lucien spoke while smiling at the girls, making them all very eager.

The training not only made them stronger and more skilled, but it was also very pleasant to be with their master. So, whatever special training would be, it could only be good.

Then Lucien waved to Neola and Kylee, who quickly approached him.

"Master!" Kylee was as enthusiastic as ever. She really is a cute and beautiful girl, so Lucien was sure that having her in his home would be great.

"Master." Neola always maintained a composed and reserved attitude.

But internally, she was very grateful to Lucien, and even though they had a difficult start, she now only saw him as a good master, and like the other women, she was delighted to be under in his care.

Lucien smiled and patted them both on the head, making them slightly m.o.a.n as they enjoyed their master’s affection.

"Let’s have a private conversation."

Then he left the dining room with Kylee and Neola following him with expectant expressions on their faces.
