Chapter 196 - After Battle

Chapter 196 - After Battle

"Good, good..." Lucien couldn’t help but nod, seeing that things were going as he expected.

Although Lucien had no ambitions to lead, he knew that he would often need to do this in order ?to keep ?everything? going? smoothly.

Also, he knows that as Cassidy’s husband, he has the responsibility to help her manage Portgreen until they can return to his world to rescue his mother.

Lucien was already thinking about what to do to put the city in order and also how to keep things well even after they are gone.

Ron was the best choice for that. Lucien trusted the loyal spymaster a lot and wanted to bring him from Bluewind to be a general administrator for Portgreen in the main city.

Also, Alden and Lucien’s male troops could serve well as his representatives elsewhere. Well, that would be the best they could do as this battle showed that Lucien could not count on them to follow ?his? and his female troops ?pace?.

Well, now it wasn’t ?the ?time to think much about the future, but ?to ?focus on the present. Lucien needed to continue with ?helping? Cassidy reclaim her ? ?throne.

Lucien looked at the mercenaries, adventurers, and common people as he used his demonic energy to amplify his voice.

"Everyone can get up. From now on, there ?isn’t a? Guild or mercenary groups ?anymore?. You all obey Cassidy and me."

Olivia and Scarlett didn’t need to prove anything to Lucien, but they still choose to bow to him while speaking loudly and respectfully. "Yes, hubby."

After seeing Olivia and Scarlett fighting alongside Lucien’s group, everyone understood how the situation ended that way, and now hearing them call him husband was confirmation to the mercenaries and adventurers that their leaders were already following Lucien’s orders.

The mercenaries were confident that Scarlett would not lead them ?into? a bad situation, and as she seemed very happy with Lucien, they had nothing against this change in the general leadership.

The common people were happy that Cassidy was alive, and now she looked even more powerful than before. Many already believed that she and Lucien were on the same level as her father, the Sage King.

The adventurers, however, still had anger in their looks, along with fear of Lucien and Cassidy. But they couldn’t do anything. Again, Lucien would only let them live if they accept the black mark.

Lucien approached Olivia. "I will continue with Cassidy and the others. Can you take care of the adventurers?"

Olivia instinctively moved closer to Lucien until their bodies were glued together, so she started to caress his chest. "As you wish, hubby..."

Lucien smiled, seeing Olivia’s pleading look. He ?couldn’t? help but kiss her again.

"Order them to clean up this mess, deal with the bodies, and then keep them in Guild buildings.

Note the name of everyone who will need the black mark."

"Also, I will let you decide which of the other adventurers who are not here now will need to receive the black mark."

Olivia nodded while sniffing Lucien’s chest. "You should visit the L secret group later, as they are probably more loyal to you than to me. About the other adventurers, I will note the name of everyone that demonstrates ?any? sign of wanting to create problems."

Lucien knew that he didn’t need to worry about this issue since Olivia now thinks first about the good of their family.

"Yes, do it. Even though there are a lot of people who will need the black mark, we now have five mages in the Mortal Realm, so it won’t be too difficult."

Then he looked at Marie and Lena, who, like everyone else, ?are? exhausted. "Even though the battle was short? , it was very intense. We are going to resolve this black mark issue in two days.? Right ?now the girls need a good rest."

Olivia nodded again. "Mm. I will get everything ready. Also, I will resolve any other issues with the adventurers and let you know about ?anything? crucial."

She gave Lucien one more kiss and went towards the adventurers, but he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight. "I’m glad you’re with me."

"I’m glad too. You are the best thing that ?has ?happened to me." Olivia hugged Lucien very tightly before going to lead the adventurers to clear the battlefield.

She wanted to stay by his side all the time, but keeping the adventurers in order was also good since she felt like she was doing something that only she could do for Lucien.

While Olivia went to deal with the adventurers, Lucien approached Scarlett. She hugged him too. All his wives love his touch and are always wanting more of it.

"You surprised me by making almost all the mercenaries retreat under your command." Lucien couldn’t? help but praise her.

Scarlett smiled as she kissed Lucien. "I am amazing, you know."

Lucien laughed. "Yes, you are fantastic, my dear. Now I need you to keep them in order. Although

Cassidy and I are the leaders, you will continue to pass on my orders to them for now."

"Mmmm..." Scarlett m.o.a.ned as Lucien stroked her ass. "I want to be at your side, hubby."

He kissed her cute ears. "We will all be together at night at home. Now Cassidy and I have a lot to do. We all have tasks to do, and... you know I will reward you later."

Scarlett wanted to keep acting spoiled, but she knew they had a lot to do to get Portgreen in order, so she kissed Lucien passionately. "Okay, see you at home then. I love you, hubby."

Then ?Scarlett went to lead the mercenaries back to the northern area of ?the city. After the last week, Ivan and his group did a lot of damage to? the mercenary properties, so they had a lot to? rebuild, now under new leadership.

Lucien went towards Mia, Aria, and Ella. Because of their connection, he knew everything that happened to the girls during the battle.

The girls were still hugging each other, so Lucien joined in the hug together. "Ella, you are a very strong girl. I’m proud of you."

He didn’t need to ask how Ella felt because he could feel it. She was a little shaken ?from? killing people, but her determination was stronger than ever as she knew that fighting for her family is right.

Ella couldn’t help but smile, receiving praise from Lucien. "I’m glad you’re proud of me, hubby."

Lucien was forced by his father to kill someone when he was just twelve, just like his sisters, so he knew that ?a person’s? first kill is unforgettable.

He only got over it by having the support of his sisters, especially his oldest? sister. ? She? ? always looked after him, Sophia, ?and his other sisters?.

Ella was already seventeen and has great support, not only from her mother and him but also from the other girls who already ?support ?each other like a family, so she ?will? get over it more quickly.

Lucien kissed Aria. "You were also amazing, my dear. You and Ella fought very well. At night I will spoil you both a lot, my brave warriors."

Aria ?couldn’t? help but laugh at the fact that Lucien treats her like a child when, in fact, she is much older than him. Still, she doesn’t mind being his little girl and letting him spoil her a lot. On the contrary, she loves it.

They hugged for a few more seconds before Lucien opened the portal to the purple world. The people were confused, seeing the mysterious portal, but no one had the slightest idea of what? kind of magic it was.

Lucien kissed Arie and Ella once again. "Go home and rest. Cassidy and I have a lot to do here, but you can relax at home and wait for us. At night we will have a lot of fun."

The girls entered the portal while Lucien called the others, ?his? mage ?wives needed to rest a lot? after using almost all of their mana defending the troops.

Rose, Angela, Maggie, Marie, and Lena entered the portal, but not without receiving a kiss from Lucien. They were all very much looking forward to the celebrations at night.

Lucien hugged Mia around the waist. "You were amazing, my love. I wanted to let you rest, but your mom needs you by our side. ?Because you’re the? Princess ?of Portgreen?, and ? ?it is good for people to see you at least once."

"Are you going to carry me like a princess?" Mia giggled while kissing Lucien’s cheek.

She was just jokingly, but Lucien couldn’t resist taking her in the carrying princess style. "Oh, of course, my lovely princess."

"Hahaha, I love it, hubby." Mia laughed as Lucien carried her towards Cassidy.

Astrid was beside Cassidy like a faithful bodyguard. She was raised as Cassidy’s sister but always felt that she had a duty to protect her to compensate Cassidy’s mother for taking care of her.

But it was different now. Now Astrid really felt like Cassidy’s sister because they were both Lucien’s wives. Still, Astrid will always support and defend Cassidy instinctively, just as Cassidy will do ?the same ?for her.

Oya was covered in the blood of their enemies and wanted a bath, but she also wanted to stay with Lucien.

So, Lucien respected her wish and let the great tigress continue to follow them now. At night they could all take a big bath together.

Lucien left Mia beside Cassidy and went towards his troops. He knew that none of them had severe injuries, but he wanted to give some of his life mana to those who had any injuries.

"You were amazing! You all deserve a lot of rewards." Lucien smiled at his troops as he praised them.

All of his ? ?troops were in an organized line, maintaining order, and showing how disciplined they are. Of course, Lucien couldn’t be more proud of them.

He walked between them until he ?stood in front of a specific woman. "Lorelai, let me help you."?

Lorelai had a cut on her back. Although the armor of the troops was black, Rebecca ?only had? black steel to make equipment ?for??? Lucien and his wives. The troops wore good armor, but Lorelai’s b.r.e.a.s.tplate was pierced by the sword of a S-rank adventurer.

She knew Lucien had a lot to do, and she also didn’t want to look weak ?by ?needing ?his? care ?right now. "I’m fine, master. I don’t want to bother you."

Before Lucien could say anything, another woman beside Lorelai stepped out of her position as she bowed to Lucien.

"Lorelai’s injury is my fault, master. I faced an enemy that was stronger than me, and instead of using my agility, I tried to compete with him in strength."

"Then I fell, and Lorelai left her position to help me, ?which allowed? a shameless man ?to? attack her from behind."

"This was not your fault. We are a team, so it is natural that we help each other." Lorelai smiled at the woman.

Lucien already had an excellent impression of Lorelai. Now he found her even more impressive.

He held her chin and kissed her lips tenderly. Lorelai was taken by surprise but did not resist while Lucien’s life mana, ?and? demonic energy, made her body feel perfect, and her wounds were healed quickly.

He kissed her for a minute until Lorelai’s wound was healed then he gave her a few more quick kisses on her lips before speaking softly in her ear. "I will give you a special reward later."

Lorelai blushed as she smiled expectantly. Lucien’s kisses and touch were addictive, not to mention s.e.x with him. ?But having s.e.x with him had one downside, ? it had? to be quick because he? has? to take care of all ?his female? troops, so she couldn’t wait for the special reward, which she was sure it would be unbelievably wonderful.

After healing Lorelai, Lucien kissed all of his troops who were merely injured. He wanted to be able to pay attention to them all now, but he hadn’t even entered the city yet and had a lot to do with Cassidy.

Anyway, there would always be time for him to reward all his girls soon.

And of course, they were all very much looking forward to it.
