Ritika finally manages to gather the courage and strength enough to look back, and then she sees the Handso Devil that the rmaid spy just ntioned.
[Certainly, he looks like the most handso man ever and a demon too!] She thinks before using all her remaining strength to try to get rid of his grip again.
He lets go of her arm, and Ritika loses her balance, falling backward. Due to her injuries, she can't even get up quickly.
Then he looks at the rmaid, chained to the wall as her blood flows from dozens of different wounds. "You seem to be in a really bad situation."
Despite all the pain, the rmaid still manages to smile. "If my end has co even this way, I won't complain; at least you've given this breathtaking view before the light in my eyes goes out."
"Hahaha…" Lucien can't help but laugh at the rmaid's praise. Not only is he fascinated with her look but also her personality.
Ritika gets more and more confused, not understanding who Lucien is, how he got there, and mainly, what he wants.
But he wastes no ti before making his intentions clear as he gently caresses the rmaid's wrists. "This doesn't have to be your end; I can help you."
"A quick death is the only help you can give ..." The rmaid speaks as she feels powerful and pleasant energies enter her body, healing her and making her feel better than ever.
She starts to fear that she doesn't want to die to feel more of that energy and thinks that maybe Lucien is a different kind of torturer.
"Even if you set free, I wouldn't be able to get far before other Nagas catch and bring here again." She explains.
Lucien smiles, which makes the rmaid's heart beat even faster as he speaks in a gentle tone. "I can guarantee you will get out of here completely healed, and no Naga in this outpost will ever harm you again."
"You can't promise that!!" Ritika exclaims in fury as she tries to get up.
"Oh, he can." A majestic voice echoes through the room, and Ritika is shocked to see the person who said that.
"The Queen?!?!?" She doesn't believe in her own eyes because it doesn't make sense for Queen to be in a place like that.
But then she sees other won alongside Mira, including soone she knows very well. "Kam- My Princess?!?!"
Kamala smiles at her old friend. "Ritika... it's been so long, my friend."
Ritika is even more shocked, while the rmaid only has eyes for Lucien. "What's going on?? Why are you here?? Who is this man????"
"I'll explain everything to you later." Mira answers. "But now you just need to know that Lucien is my husband, so yes, he can order you and do what he just said."
"B-but, but..." Ritika is even more confused.
Lucien ignores her and goes back to talking to the rmaid. "So now that you understand that I can help you, what do you say?"
"Why would you help ?" She asks. "You want to make so kind of deal, right? But what could I offer you in this situation?"
Before he responds, Lust materializes her body beside him. "You can see he's a demon, don't you? Then you should also know that no matter what deal he offers you, it's going to be fair and beneficial to both of you."
"Well, considering you are..." Helena comnts as she looks at the rmaid's body. "Such a charming species; I'm sure that deal will be much more beneficial for you and your people."
"*Roar!*" Oya roar in a tone of agreent, making Helena smile.
The rmaid has no idea what's going on. She had already accepted death and would do nothing to harm her people. But now, she sohow sees kindness and compassion in Lucien's eyes, which makes her wonder what will co next.
"I'm listening…" She speaks while avoiding looking directly at his face and becoming even more captivated by his charm.
"First, let heal you." He speaks as he begins to remove the chains that bind her, breaking that tough steel with his own hands.
The rmaid is shocked at his strength as only soone above the middle Immortal Realm could break those chains with bare hands.
But she's also curious about how he's going to cure her. "Are you so kind of healer?"
Lucien smiles, and the mont he breaks the last chain that holds her, her body falls due to weakness. But he acts quickly, taking her around the waist and sealing her lips with a kiss full of life mana before she understands what's going on.
"Mm!! Mmm??! Mmmm... mmmmm..." The rmaid tries to resist for the first two seconds but quickly realizes that his kiss is the best thing she has ever experienced in her entire life.
While his wives roll their eyes and Ritika stares at them with wide eyes, the rmaid enjoys Lucien's kiss and has most of her wounds healed at unbelievable speed.
Ti seems to stop for the rmaid, who wants to stay in that mont forever, even if that is just a dream.
But Lucien soon begins to back off his lips after healing her enough. However, her mouth instinctively follows his in a desperate plea for more kisses.
And for not having her request granted, the rmaid opens her eyes again and sees Lucien's teasing smile. "You can have more kisses after helping ."
She blushes, which makes her look even cuter to him, and then backs away a few inches slowly. "Ehhh... I just... I feel so much better... what kind of healing..."
"Can you tell who that human you were talking about is?" Lucien wastes no ti getting straight to the point.
The rmaid is confused because she doesn't know why he seems so curious about that human. Ritika fought against her and Saria, but he shouldn't be so curious about the human.
"This... it's complicated..." She doesn't want to reveal any information about her Princess's best friend, a person who may in the future be the new rmaid Queen's adviser.
Lucien knows there are many humans in the Blue Star, whether pirates or people from the Rising Phoenix Clan, but he can't help but hope that woman is one of his sisters.
And if that's the case, she seems to be being treated well by the rmaids to the point of that woman doesn't want to give any information about her to save her own life.
"Alright, that wasn't part of the deal but a curiosity of mine." He smiles at the rmaid. "What about telling your na? Can you do it?"
She looks into Lucien's eyes and doesn't see any malice, so she responds. "Rupa... my na is Rupa."
"Rupa?" He smiles. "That sounds nice. My na is Lucien, by the way."
"Lucien…" Rupa repeats as that na echoes in her mind. She, like any woman who hears that na, will never be able to forget it.
But despite almost falling in love with Lucien, Rupa keeps her mind focused and her heart loyal to her people. "Lucien… what exactly do you want from ?"
He really likes the fact that she stays focused and loyal despite having his energies running through her body. In fact, the fact that she's in the early Immortal Realm is an important factor in her being able to resist his charm more than other weaker won.
"I need you to take a ssage to your Queen." He again cuts to the chase.
"Hmm..." Rupa can't help but wonder if that's sothing like a trap. [They could follow , but even so, their troops couldn't harm the Queen in our capital...]
"Rupa?" Lucien can see that the rmaid is confused, so he gently takes her hand. "I believe you think the sa as I do about this war... it doesn't make any sense and doesn't need to continue; no Naga or rmaid should die because of sothing like this."
"Does not make sense?!?" Rupa gets upset. "How does it make no sense for us to fight for our nation and want revenge against hundreds of years of abuse by the Naga???"
He shakes his head. "I didn't say that you guys fighting back don't make sense, but that the Nagas stealing your territory and hurting your people don't make sense in the first place."
"Oh." Rupa nods. "Yes, that shouldn't have happened in the first place, but... now my people won't stop just because soone asked."
"Of course not." He smiles. "That's why Mira is here, to make a peace deal with your Queen. Also, I'm going to make sure your people be compensated for all the evil the Nagas have done you in person."
"In person?" Her lips can't help but curl into a smile as she thinks of sothing. "You're going to have to kiss millions of rmaids for that..."
A purple glow passes through Lucien's blue eyes as he caresses Rupa's delicate chin. "I would love to do sothing like that."
Helena, Mira, and Kamala make upset and jealous expressions while Lucien can feel that they don't like that idea at all.
So, even though he really wants to explore Rupa's beautiful and exotic body, he takes a step back. "So, what do you think about going to your Queen and setting up a eting with Mira? Your Queen can pick the place, and you just have to co back to to tell her answer."
Rupa thinks a bit about that and doesn't see how that could be a trap, so she nods. "I can do it."
"Great!" Lucien smiles. He seems to be deciding everything by himself, but he and Mira have already talked about that ntally, and she completely agrees with the plan, except for the part where he supposedly compensates the rmaids with kisses, of course.
Mira walks up to Rupa and pulls a beautiful shiny blue earring out of her storage bracelet before handing it to her. That really looks like a very special and rare treasure.
"Give this to Nea as a sign of our good intentions," Mira speaks. "Also, it will be alright even if she wants our eting to be in the capital of your Kingdom as I completely trust her."
Rupa is surprised at how things seem to turn out. Everyone knows that Mira had no real power over the Naga people, but it seems that things are changing, and the main factor seems to be Lucien.
So maybe there really is hope for that war to end and the rmaids could regain their territory, as well as so really special compensation.
She looks at Lucien with a concerned expression. "Am I really going to get through all those Nagas without a hitch?"
He first looks at Ritika with a severe expression and does not contain his draconic aura. "You will go with her all the way and make sure nothing happens to her, do you understand?"
Ritika feels an incredibly powerful pressure making it difficult for her to stand and even breathe. But that also gives her hope that things will change for her people.
Despite looking like soone severe, Lucien can see that she is loyal to Mira and has a great friendship with Kamala. Also, they even told him to trust her character.
And even with all her body, heart, and soul wanting to follow Lucien's orders, Ritika still looks at Mira and Kamala with a pleading expression.
"Do this, and you will continue to be a respected general in the new world we will create together." Mira speaks in a confident tone.
"Yes, my Queen!" Ritika bows respectfully. She still doesn't understand exactly what's going on, but she definitely wants to be a part of that.
But as she moves, she feels her whole body ache and instinctively looks at Lucien's lips as she rembers how he healed Rupa with just a kiss.
"Hahaha..." He chuckles as he sees that woman who just seconds ago looked so dominant now with a pleading expression.
He wouldn't mind giving her so healing kisses, but since he doesn't want to piss off his wives, he takes three bottles of special healing potion from his storage ring.
"Take it." He tosses two bottles to Ritika and one to Rupa. "Maybe you'll get sothing better if you co back with good news."
