Chapter 725 Too Good to Be True? (2/2)

"The perfect gift?" Those words echo in Lucien's mind.

He heard the Water Spirit use the same words to describe the magical shell, a gift given to her by her father.

She clearly becomes sad and upset when such a subject comes up, but no matter how much she tries to avoid talking about it, she fails to prevent herself from speaking about it.

Lucien understands that he needs to be very careful when dealing with such a powerful and mysterious being, but at the same time, the Water Spirit seems like someone so simple to understand.

He still has no idea how deep her hatred for the Water Goddess is, but it clearly is not stronger than her love for her father.

Another thing Lucien is sure about the Water Spirit is that she is a very intense person, a characteristic they both share more than they would like to admit.

While many thoughts about the Water Spirit pass through Lucien's mind, he doesn't realize he's mesmerized by her crystal-blue eyes.

She is also looking directly into his own blue eyes, and time seems to pass much faster.

Lust and Envy keep arguing about the possibility of such an alliance in Lucien's mind while Sloth simply observes everything in silence.

But he only wakes up from his thoughts with the voice of the Water Spirit herself, who seems as anxious for his answer as he is.

"What are you thinking?" She asks in a curious and gentle tone.

Lucien would like to tell the truth, that he's thinking about how beautiful the Water Spirit is, unlike any of his wives, whose beauty could rival even that of Lust.

But for some reason, flirting with the Water Spirit feels wrong. He can't say why, but maybe it's because she's too mysterious?

Lucien once again can't explain what he's feeling, and his lack of response makes the Water Spirit smile.

She seems to be having a lot of fun messing with his emotions, but his penetrating gaze makes her stop laughing and blush for a moment.

"Ahem..." She looks away and drinks all the wine from her glass before refilling it again. "You must need some time to think about my proposal."

"Yes," he responds while also drinking all the wine from his glass.

His life mana quickly heals the effects of alcohol in his body, but he manages to block such an effect with his demonic energy for a few moments, letting the incredible Mermaids' wine numb his body and mind for a few seconds.

Without looking into his eyes again, the Water Spirit continues speaking. "This will be a big step for both of us, so it's okay if you need a few days to think about it."

"Indeed," Lucien looks at the transparent blue and green barrier in the sky. "But thanks to your barrier, I can feel more at ease for now."

The Water Spirit can't help but smile proudly, but she notices a concerned expression on Lucien's face, contradicting his words.

He does feel safe behind that barrier, but there are still many concerns on his mind. He can't help but feel anxious to return to Belot, his homeworld.

He wants to find answers about his mother, help his sisters' mothers, end the war there, punish Michael, and there's also the matter of the Bloody Rose and Maya.

"Try to relax for at least two days." The Water Spirit's voice brings Lucien out of his thoughts again.

"Why two days?" He can't help but wonder. But in response to her suggestion, he just nods and smiles.

She also smiles at him, and both once again find themselves looking at each other with curious expressions.

This time, Lucien is the first to break the silence. "So, I'll talk to the others..."

"Sure," the Water Spirit tries to appear calm and confident, but she is clearly very anxious. "I'm not going anywhere."

Lucien nods again before turning around and walking towards the stairs. He couldn't imagine that his first interaction with such a mysterious being would be so peculiar.

He doesn't see it, but Sloth pays close attention to the Water Spirit's expression as she gazes at Lucien's back.

The mysterious Blue Lady seems happy and sad at the same time, with longing and expectations.

Lucien starts descending the stairs of the Crystal Castle with a lot of thoughts in mind.

"It's so surreal," he comments to the Sins. "I didn't expect her to be so..."

"Weird?" Lust comments with a mix of concern and jealousy.

"Enigmatic?" Sloth doesn't know what to make of such a person.

But Envy seems genuinely hostile. "Guilty?"

"Guilty?" Lucien asks and quickly denies. "No, she just seems so... normal."

"Normal???" The three Sins exclaim in surprise.

"Yes," Lucien confirms. "She seems like someone easy to understand."

Lust and Sloth disagree with that, but Envy seems even more pessimistic. "She's deceiving you! Come on!? You can't believe that pretty face and that emotional talk about her father!"

"Why not?" He asks. "Her emotions seemed very genuine to me."

Envy just growls, and Lust voices her thoughts in his mind. "Maybe Envy is right; I mean, she's a Primordial, we know nothing about her, or what she wants."

Lucien understands the reasons that make the Sins cautious about the Water Spirit, but he can instinctively understand her, something that goes beyond reason and emotion.

"She seems so lonely..." He comments. "Maybe she just wants friends and allies..."

"No chance!" Envy quickly exclaims.

"You're too pessimistic." Lucien responds in a gentle tone.

He understands why Envy thinks that way, and it has to do with her ability to sense some of the darkest feelings in people.

Lust doesn't like to agree with Envy, but she does so now. "Envy is right, nobody just wants to be your friend."

Sloth doesn't talk much, so whenever she speaks, Lucien listens to her words attentively.

"We can't assume too much about the Water Spirit yet, but she certainly wants more from you than just friendship." She comments calmly.

Lucien also agrees with that. Just as he can see in the eyes of the Water Spirit that she is not his enemy, he can also sense a lot of expectation, more than one would expect from just an ally.

"Whatever she wanted, maybe it's a fair exchange for how much she has to offer," he thinks aloud.

Lust and Envy continue arguing in his mind, and as soon as he finishes descending the stairs, many other voices join the discussion.

Everyone wants to know how his conversation with the Water Spirit went, even the other Sins refrained from peeking at his request.

Without wasting time, he quickly explains the Water Spirit's offer, which shocks everyone on various levels.

There are many implications in such an alliance, but the gift from the Water Spirit offers Lucien and his girls an unbelievably good benefit, leaving the group divided.

The girls want to be cautious with the Sins, but many of them cannot ignore the potential of that gift.

Among the girls who want Lucien to accept it the most are Cassidy, Angela, and Ghalenna. They are always concerned about their people in Argerim, and the Water Spirit's gift would solve that problem once and for all.

Lucien's sisters also wonder what it would be like to bring their mothers and people to the Blue Star, a fresh start for everyone.

Helena quickly thinks about Alexa and how the Blue Star could be a safe haven for the Angels who want to be free.

Even the girls who don't consider bringing their families to the Blue Star understand how useful it would be for Lucien to keep his troops all together in one place, ready to be summoned into battle.

Almost all the girls start talking at once, everyone wants to give their opinions, but some remain silent.

That is the case with Mira and Nea, who can only smile at Lucien.

They spent the last two days between extremes, having his full attention but also having to prepare to say goodbye to him for an indefinite period.

It felt like being in heaven and hell at the same time, but now the Water Spirit simply gave the definitive solution to such a problem, allowing Lucien to be with them while he can also attend to his other duties.

Another woman who remains silent is Maya. Kayla and Laya are jumping with joy at the possibility of not having to leave their home.

However, Maya doesn't seem very optimistic. It's hard to believe that something so good would be given to Lucien just like that, but he still has to accept such a proposal before anything else.

Lucien leaves his sisters, the Sins, and his other girls to continue discussing while he approaches the silent trio.

"Don't you have anything to say?" He asks.

"I will support your decision, whatever it may be." Mira is the first to speak.

But contrary to her words, she embraces Lucien, kisses his lips, and then quickly whispers in his ear. "If we can be together like this every day, it's evident that I would like that."

Nea rolls her eyes at seeing her rival act so swiftly.

But Maya seems only thoughtful and concerned.
