Lust Knight Chapter 188 Transgressions

Chapter 188 Transgressions

Jeanne, who was behind Lucien along with his other wives, approached the edge of the hill.

When she reached his side, Lucien instinctively wrapped his arm around her waist. Jeanne thought he was doing that intentionally to provoke Lord Larousse, so she tried to move away from him.

But Lucien held her tight by the waist and pulled her body close to his.

Jeanne pouted, thinking he was jealous of Lord Larousse. But then she concluded that his jealousy was not bad for her but an advantage, so she let him hug her.

Lord Larousse saw the mysterious man embracing Jeanne, and he was furious for several reasons.

He grimaced as he shouted towards Jeanne. "What does that mean, Jeanne? Were you with this guy the whole time? Where's my son?"

*Woosh*

Lord Larousse's answer was two arrows that passed beside his head, one of them slightly cut off part of his right ear.

Lucien looked up at the top of a huge tree on the hill where Neola and other archers were with their bows always ready.

He wasn't giving orders to her, but Neola could feel some of Lucien's feelings, and when he was merely angry, she didn't like it and shot arrows to make his point clear.

Neola intended to use her arrows just to threaten, but the she could not resist missing her last arrow by an inch, hurting the ear of the old man who was being rude to her husband.

They thought Lucien was going to scold them, but in fact, he smiled at them while sending them a mental message. 'Nicely done, my dear.'

While Lord Larousse cried in pain and his soldiers were afraid to make any move and be hit by those incredible archers, Lucien spoke again in a calm tone.

"Didn't we talk about not yelling at my wives? Are you so old that your brain doesn't work properly anymore?"

Lord Larousse was as furious as ever. Not because of the pain, or Lucien's mocking words, but because that damn horned man was boldly declaring that Jeanne belongs to him.

Jeanne and Mason are the only things that mattered to Lord Larousse after his wife passed away. They are his family and belongs to him. At least, that's how he thinks.

Lord Larousse thought that Jeanne could have been kidnaped by that horned devil, but then why did she look so happy while he hugs her waist? Why was she so kind when she spoke to him? Did she call him Lucien? Lord Larousse already hated him with all his soul.

Before the situation got any worse, Jeanne spoke to Lord Larousse. "Dennis, your son is fine. We have some stuff to talk about now."

Lord Larousse was called that only by Jeanne and his late wife. Hearing Jeanne's calm voice, he became a little calmer. "Where is he?

"Let's talk somewhere else. I'll explain everything to you." Jeanne replied.

Lord Larousse did not think twice before heading towards the top of the hill. Some of his most loyal soldiers instinctively walked behind him.

*Woosh* x10

Ten arrows pierced the ground in front of the soldiers, leaving them with terrified expressions on their faces.

The girls couldn't help but giggle at the top of the tree. By spending a lot of time with Lucien, they were being influenced by his bizarre sense of humor.

Lucien looked seriously at Lord Larousse's troops. "Only the old man was invited to come. Not that you would make any difference since no one could stop me from killing him if I wanted to."

Jeanne couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Nobody's going to kill anyone. We're just going to have a discussion. You don't need to bring your soldiers."

Lord Larousse trusted Jeanne very much, so he waved to his troops. "Wait for me here. If I don't come back later, you can come looking for me."

Then he went up the hill and followed Lucien, some other women and Jeanne into the forest.

As they walked, Lord Larousse couldn't help but question Jeanne, in a very respectful and concerned tone. "Why didn't you come back before? Did this man kidnap you? Why does he say you're his wife?"

"Didn't you get the letter I sent you?" Jeanne asked him about the letter Lucien had allowed her to send weeks ago.

Lord Larousse, or rather, Dennis made a regretful expression. "That letter? I thought it was fake. Why wouldn't you say where you were and that you would only come back after a few weeks? You are not like that."

Jeanne rolled her eyes. She should have guessed that he wouldn't believe the letter so easily, but she couldn't give too much information since she didn't want to complicate Lucien's situation.

"He's Lucien. And no, he didn't kidnap me. Mason and I were in a tough spot. We ended up in the middle of a conflict between Red Lady and Olivia..."

Dennis can't help asking about Mason again. "Why isn't Mason with you?"

"Because he is an idiot," Lucien responded.

Dennis couldn't help but respond immediately. "You-"

But before he finished speaking, a powerful voice in an angry tone surprised him. "Shut the fuck up!"

Dennis's body started to shake involuntarily. His heart began to beat faster, and he started talking to himself, "No, no... This can't be... No..."

Then he looked ahead of the group and saw Cassidy, coming towards him with an angry look. "Yes, Yes. This is happening."

He raised his hands and started walking backward. "Cassidy, I-"

Dennis didn't understand how Cassidy disappeared and quickly reappeared in front of him and hit his face with a brutal punch.

*BAM*

The blow was merciless, drawing a lot of blood and a few teeth from Dennis's mouth and throwing him flying meters backward.

A white light quickly shone out of his armor while it activated Its magic barrier. Still, the barrier was insufficient to contain Cassidy's incredible strength. In addition to her being in the Mortal Realm, Cassidy has strength as her main attribute.

"Whoa!" Mia exclaimed as she clapped her hands.

Lucien laughed. "That's my Queen. Fierce and sexy as hell."

Astrid couldn't help but jokingly comment. "Maybe we should have let him bring some of his troops."

Jeanne couldn't complain about Cassidy's treatment after everything that happened, so she just went to help Dennis.

Lucien did not want to regress the evolution of his relationship with Jeanne, so he quickly called a wizard of his troops who is a healer. After all, he would not use his saliva on a man. Well, spitting on him didn't seem really friendly.

Dennis was dizzy, feeling pain all over his body, especially in his head, but soon his mind started to clear as the healer treated his wounds.

"Cass-" He tried to speak, but Cassidy quickly interrupted him. "Queen. Call me Queen!"

"Dammit, Dennis!! Your father was not just my father's soldier. They were friends!" Cassidy continued."

"My father built this kingdom for families like yours to be able to live in peace away from that shitty Light Empire and the Alliance."

"And even after our parents died together fighting side by side as brothers, you still abandoned me when I needed your help the most!"

Dennis bowed until his forehead almost touch the ground. "I'm so sorry, my Queen. I know of the friendship between our families, but they threatened my son, my only memory of my wife... I had no way to stop the mercenaries and adventurers even if I tried... I failed you."

Lucien couldn't help commenting. "You have such a good son. The first time we met, he sent his archer to shot an arrow at Mia's face, Cassia's daughter."

"That's a lie! He may not be a man of good qualities, but he wouldn't do something like that." Dennis responded.

Jeanne bowed her head in shame. "It was my fault... I allowed him to act as he wanted... We heard that someone had attacked innocent girls, so Mason wanted to make sure they didn't use them as hostages... It was a misunderstanding that ended up really bad."

Dennis was extremely disappointed with Mason. "He shouldn't have done that..."

Lucien continued. "I couldn't live knowing that another man was still alive after trying to hurt my sweet Mia, so I put an end to the archer, but I spared Mason, even though he gave the order."

"But did he regret it and started reflecting on his actions? No. He asked Black Hand's help to hurt me."

Dennis was even sadder. "Why? Why would he do something like that? Why is he like that?"

Lucien shook his head. "There is a line between being strict and pampering that parents must keep balanced in order to raise their children well. You clearly spoiled Mason a lot and turned him into an idiot."

Dennis crawled to the front of Cassidy and continued to bow his head. "I'm really sorry, my Queen. This is all my fault. I failed as a son when I didn't honor my father, I failed as a husband with my wife, and I failed as a father with Mason."

Cassidy sighed. "Yes, you have failed many times. But thanks to my husband, your son didn't hurt my daughter, and thanks to him, too, you now have a chance to honor your father by serving me as your Queen."

Dennis intentionally replied. "Yes, yes, of course! I will correct my mistakes. Also, there is still time to correct Mason's attitude!! We will serve you properly, my Queen."

But mentally, Dennis was confused. Cassidy talked about her husband. 'Does she mean the previous King who ran away? No. It's this horned man! '

'But he's hugging the Princess... And he said that Jeanne is his wife... And Ravenous... Fuck! Are they all his wives? 'Dennis couldn't help being angry at Lucien as any normal man would be, knowing that he has all these beautiful women as wives.

So, since all this confusion started, he looked around and realized that he was in a kind of camp, and... there were at least two hundred soldiers there, but... 'Why are they all women?'

Dennis started to have a strange thought. 'It can't be... He's just a boy... No way... Are they all his women? It's not possible...'

Then he saw Lucien smiling at him. Lucien seemed to know what he was thinking and was bragging... That smile was so annoying... In fact, diabolically annoying!

Dennis held back any pride he has and bowed to Lucien, after all, he is now the King as Cassidy's husband. "Thank you very much for sparing my son even though he didn't deserve any kindness."

Lucien sighed. "We should not talk more about the past. Your son is fine, and you can see him soon, but right now we need to resolve other issues."

Dennis nodded. "I'll do whatever you want, but please tell me exactly where he is."

"He's coming with my other troops. They'll be here in a few days, don't worry." Lucien responded.

"I understand. I'm going to change my attitude towards him, and also, I'll punish him for everything wrong he did."

Then Dennis looked at Cassidy. "How can I serve you, my Queen?"

"Just follow the King's orders." Cassidy smiled at Lucien.

Dennis bowed to Lucien again. "My King."

Lucien made a thoughtful expression. "Hmm... First, tell me, Lord Larousse, how much do you hate me for stealing Jeanne from you?"

Dennis was taken aback by Lucien's question. He seemed to be able to see through his feelings.

He tried to use the most respectful tone possible, even though his next words could be considered offensive, it would undoubtedly be the truth.

"Very much, my King."

"..." When Dennis boldly declared that he hates Lucien very much for stealing Jeanne, everyone was silent.

Jeanne was surprised by that response as she didn't think Dennis was possessive towards her since she was just his sister-in-law.

Some of Lucien's women thought Dennis's head was going to roll while others were sure it wouldn't.

The atmosphere became very tense until Lucien started to laugh. "Good, good. A healthy relationship needs to be honest."

"..." Dennis didn't know what to think of Lucien.

Then Lucien stopped laughing and looked at him seriously. "The only reason that your and your son's head haven't rolled yet is that Jeanne cares about you."

"When she no longer cares about you... Well, let's say your deaths won't be quick."

*Gulp*

Everyone heard the sound of Dennis swallowing as he started to regret his honest answer.
