Daisy creates a portal to Argerim, and Lucien imdiately heads there with his girls.
He feels good returning to a place where he has fond mories, but due to the possible urgency that the Shadow Star needs help, he can’t afford to rest.
The people of Portgreen love both Lucien and Cassidy so much that they agree to abandon everything and migrate to the Blue Star, confident in a bright future under the leadership of the Handso Devil.
Even though it’s part of Cassidy’s Kingdom, the people of Angela follow her and Lucien to the new world.
The sa happens with all the races of the Alliance; they agree to go to the Blue Star under the leadership of Lucien and Eve.
Lucien’s wives are very happy to be able to leave their families safe under the protection of the Water Spirit.
Even Rose manages to convince her father to go, but the entire eastern part of Argerim, which comprises the Freelands, has no intention of following Lucien.
In fact, they are happy to have the world to themselves alone and are still very afraid of Donna. But Lucien and his girls couldn’t care less about a bunch of slavers.
Lucien personally coordinates the migration of millions of people using his magical portal, making the process quite fast.
He also promises to visit his friends, especially Ron and Anne’s father, but he can’t do it now, not while his sisters are so concerned about their families in the Shadow Star.
So, while the Water Spirit is helping the people of Argerim settle on large islands, Lucien ets with his girls in the Crystal Castle.
"So you’re going to the Shadow Star now..." Nea wonders about so things.
Mira thinks about sothing and speaks to the rmaid Queen. "You should go with them, Nea. I an, you have allies there, and I can take care of everything while you are out."
"I’m not sure..." Nea hesitates. "It’s been a long ti since I’ve spoken to Yakov, I don’t even know if he’s still alive, also..."
The rmaid Queen looks at Lucien with an embarrassed expression, and he can’t help but smile.
"Do you think he would be upset that you chose over him?" Lucien asks.
"I don’t think so," she responds honestly. "Even though he’s a dark elf, he’s an honest and fair person... it’s just that..."
"I’m not going to kill him because he proposed to you thousands of years ago." Lucien smiles amiably.
Nea believes Lucien, but she also vividly rembers the dark elf Prince’s determination. "And if he... well, isn’t ready to give up yet?"
"Oh," now Lucien understands why Nea seems hesitant. "Well, then maybe I’ll have to use a bit of the old persuasion, you know... but I promise I won’t kill him if that’s what you’re worried about."
Nea can’t help but smile. She bears no ill will towards Yakov as he has always been a good ally, but a part of her is pleased by Lucien’s jealous nature.
"I’ll try my best." She says to Lucien and then turns her attention back to Mira. "Thank you, my sister; I’ll return as soon as possible."
"It’s okay," Mira smiles warmly at Nea, but then casts a naughty and expectant look at Lucien. "I know hubby will reward for being a good girl..."
He doesn’t say anything but flies up to Mira and takes her in his arms for a passionate kiss, making her tail go limp and her heart beat faster.
Nea can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy, but she’s also grateful for the Naga Queen’s assistance.
"I’ll let you two have fun while I make so preparations for the trip," she says before leaving the room.
Daisy is already working on a portal to the Shadow Star, and since all the Seven Stars are relatively close, it doesn’t require many magical resources and is quickly ready.
Lucien’s sisters are very anxious to see their mothers again, just as he and Eve are eager to find out the situation there.
So, the group wastes no ti before gathering around the portal. Everyone is ready, but Lucien seems to be waiting for soone.
"Is it her, isn’t it?" Eve asks. "The Water Spirit; do you think she’s going to co?"
"She’s been quite busy creating new islands for the people you brought," Nea comnts.
Lucien thinks the Water Spirit is avoiding him as she hasn’t approached since his return; but at the sa ti, she’s genuinely working hard to create a new ho for his people, so he’s clearly grateful to her.
Lust notices Lucien’s restlessness and tries to distract him. "What about the troops?"
"Let’s get them ready," he responds. "We might need them at any mont, so I can open the magical portal and summon them."
"I agree," Lust nods.
"I’ll leave them stationed in the city," Mira comnts.
"Thank you, my love," Lucien rewards his Naga Queen with more kisses, eliciting jealousy from the other girls.
Lucien is indeed heading towards a war, and his troops are now essential. His strongest soldiers are clearly the rmaids who have been influenced by the great sinful aura, but the Nagas are also very strong and loyal.
The troops of Argerim have missed Lucien, and despite being a long ti without receiving his special milk, the benefits of it are still accelerating their power increase rate.
Daisy not only takes charge of creating magical portals for Lucien but is also always concocting potions with his essence. Now, she leaves a new stock with the Argerim troops, allowing them to get stronger faster.
Of course, Lucien will prepare them before taking them directly into battle; he just needs to reach the Shadow Star soon, and then summoning them through the magical portal will be straightforward.
As Lucien expected, the Water Spirit appears before he steps into the portal.
"Lucien..." Her soft and gentle tone shows she missed him, even though they have only been apart for two days.
"Hey you," he realizes he has only been calling her the Water Spirit so far, but that is a title and not her real na, which he becos very curious to discover.
All the girls fall silent, rely observing the atmosphere between Lucien and the Water Spirit; it’s quite different from the chemistry he has with won generally, but there are certainly intense emotions between them.
"Sorry for not coming earlier," she smiles amiably. "I saw that you brought a lot of people, and I wanted to prepare a place for them."
"And how’s it going?" he asks.
"Well, very well," she responds. "I managed to create so pretty large islands but still need to create more forests and other resources on them."
"Thank you, for real." He thanks her sincerely. "I don’t know how I would do sothing like this without your help."
"You don’t have to thank , this is a mutual benefit alliance, right?" She winks at him amicably, but that ends up looking like flirting, which makes her quickly embarrassed.
"So... you’re going again," she tries to disguise her emotions.
"Yeah," he approaches her. "But I wanted to talk to you first..."
"I figured," her expression becos neutral and sowhat apologetic. "You’re heading to the Shadow Star, right?"
"Yes," he nods and tries to say sothing. "And I-"
But she interrupts him. "I can’t help you with that now; I an, I still can’t leave the Blue Star or the barrier would beco unstable."
"I understand," Lucien speaks amiably. "But I was thinking of a kind of advice..."
"Oh," the Water Spirit looks confused but then seems to gain confidence. "What do you want to know?"
Lucien wastes no ti and gets straight to the point. "Is there soone like you in the Shadow Star?"
"Soone like ?" she asks. "You an a Primordial?"
"That’s right," he nods.
She looks thoughtful. "There used to be..."
"Used to be?" Lucien is confused.
"Yes, there used to be," she explains. "But as you know, I’ve been in my magic shell for a thousand years, and haven’t left the Blue Star yet, so I’m not sure if she’s still there."
"I see," his curiosity is piqued. "Can you at least tell what she was like?"
The Water Spirit seems hesitant to answer. "Well... she was eccentric, so... don’t worry, you’ll et her if she’s still there."
It’s clear to Lucien that the Water Spirit doesn’t want to give more information to him, or rather, she doesn’t want to disclose the secrets of others as she has ntioned several tis.
He’s very grateful to her for all the help so far, so he can’t demand anything from her as that wouldn’t be fair.
"Got it," he smiles and extends his hand to her.
She looks at his hand thoughtfully, then after a mont’s hesitation, she shakes his hand amiably.
Lucien doesn’t understand why, but he simply likes her a lot, in a unique and special way. "Thank you."
The Water Spirit is clearly trying to contain her emotions, but as Lucien smiles at her, she just can’t help but smile back.
Her smile becos so bright and beautiful, then she surprises him by throwing herself into his arms and hugging him tightly.
"No..." she whispers while hugging him. "Thank you!"
Lucien is quite surprised and doesn’t know how to react; if it were any other woman, he would just hug her more and maybe kiss her lips, but he continues to feel that flirting with her is strange.
The Water Spirit hugs him a bit longer before stepping back and running off. "I have a lot to do... co back soon, and safe!"
"..." Everyone is speechless at the scene, especially Lucien.
