Chapter 553: Chapter 135 Determination

Chapter 135 Determination

Sunbeams came in through the window of one of the bedrooms on the fourth floor of the castle.

By the sun's position, it was about 8:00 am, a comfortable time to wake up. But despite being awake for more than three hours, Scarlett still didn't want to get out of bed.

Her body was already healed. Lucien's demonic energy is getting more and more powerful and under his control, so healing injuries of that type just needs a good love session and some time.

Still, she didn't want to get out of bed because she was afraid. "Why didn't he come to see me yesterday? Was it all a game for him? Is he just manipulating me?"

Scarlett thought she had created a connection with Lucien and would be closer and closer to him. But when a day passed, and he didn't show up to see her, her confidence began to decrease.

Then she ran her hand over her belly and stroked the part where the purple tattoo is. "But I have the same mark as his wives... He may not be just playing with me."

She got up from the bed and looked at the table where her storage ring was placed. Lucien returned Scarlett's and Olivia's belongings as a sign of trust.

"Yes... I am not someone who waits for things to happen. I make things happen. And I will show him that he must care for me!"

Scarlett went to the table, took her storage ring, and started to choose a nice outfit to go looking for Lucien with all the charm she could.

While Scarlett was getting ready in her bedroom, in the next bedroom, Olivia was going through a similar situation.

Olivia did not sleep as she spent the night stroking her face. Every time she ran her hand over her skin, she felt it was smoother.

Before, she didn't dare to touch her face because the scars reminded her of the trauma of the past. But now she couldn't stop and touch them.

Still, she hadn't looked in the mirror for fear of what she would see. "I can't let this hurt me anymore…"

She got up and headed for the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and couldn't help but be surprised. "Unbelievable…"

After Lucien shot his essence so many times inside Olivia, her terrible scars were almost completely healed.

Of course, she could still see part of the scars, but there are still a few of them faintly visible.

Olivia stroked her face again. She was unable to stop thinking about Lucien. "He... This is because of him... That devil... Still... I can only be grateful... I must thank him…"

As Olivia passed her hand over her face, she realized that her birthmark was visible again. The cut on her face tore off part of her skin where the small black mark was.

"But should that mark have regenerated? He said he would heal any imperfections in my body." Olivia didn't know if Lucien's healing should have regenerated her birthmark or not.

Then Olivia touched the black mark on her cheek with her finger and something magical happened, shocking her. "WOW!!!"

From her mark came a black mist that circled around Olivia. It looked like a kind of mystic black light.

She stretched out her hand in the black smoke, which moved according to her movements. It seemed to be alive as it kept animatedly circling around her.

"Dark magic!" Olivia spoke to herself as she remembered her grandmother.

Some of Olivia's ancestors are Dark Mages. They were not exactly evil and just have dark magic affinity.

But after the peak of her family that was a few hundred years ago, the dark affinity in the descendants of her family started to decrease in quality.

Olivia's grandmother was the last person in her hereditary line who had a dark affinity strong enough to use dark magic.

Her mother had almost no dark affinity while she never showed any sign of magical affinity.

But now Olivia was going through the process that her grandmother and mother often told in stories about their ancestors. The dark awakening.

"Do I have dark affinity? Why did it only manifest now? Is this because of him?" Olivia could only think that it is because of Lucien.

She always had the birthmark and had touched it many times before suffering the wound on her face. Her grandmother also performed several rituals to awaken her dark affinity, but nothing ever worked.

Oliva stopped trying to find an explanation and watched the black fog around her. After circling her for a few minutes, the mist began to make Olivia float in the air.

"Hahaha… It's dark magic!! My dark magic!!!" Olivia can't help but laugh, floating in the air.

Her grandmother was a legend in her youth, thanks to the power of the dark magic. If she could use that power, she could easily avenge her family, so she was thrilled.

"Oh?" But then the black mist that circled her started to disappear as she fell to the floor.

Olivia began to touch her birthmark, hoping the black mist to return, but she had no success. "No, no, no, no… I need it! I need that power!!"

She tried to pick the black mist, focus her mind, touch her black mark, but nothing worked. The black mist ended up disappearing into the air, leaving Olivia sitting on the floor with a depressed expression.

Olivia tried to understand what happened while thinking to herself.

'I started to awaken the dark affinity, then it stopped... It seemed like I needed something more... Maybe... He said he would give me power. ... So... Is must be…'

"Lucien! I need to talk to him." Olivia concluded that everything was connected to Lucien and started to dress quickly to meet him.

After putting on clean clothes and leaving the bedroom, Olivia saw Scarlett also leaving her bedroom, so they stared at each other in silence.

"..."

"..."

One waited for the other to say something, but as neither of them took the first step, they both went down the stairs in silence.

As soon as they arrived in the hall, they saw Kara, and they both asked at the same time. "Where is he?"

They faced each other again, and Olivia spoke in a hostile tone. "I have something important to talk to him about!"

Scarlett was not intimidated by Olivia. "I don't give a fuck about you. I'm going to see him!"

Kara panicked because she didn't know how to stop their fight. "Are you talking about Lucien? He wouldn't want you to fight."

Olivia and Scarlett looked at Kara and questioned her in an angry tone. "WHERE IS HE?!"

"Do you think you are in your home where you can do whatever you want and demand anything?" They heard a voice that made Olivia and Scarlett tremble while Kara was relieved.

Everyone looked at the stairs while Olivia and Scarlett spoke at the same time. "Cassidy…"

Cassidy stopped a few feet away from Olivia and Scarlett. Her position on the stairs made her look at them from above, so she spoke in an authoritative tone while making an expression of disdain.

"Do you think you can demand something from my husband whenever you want? He does not serve you. You serve him at best... or he dismisses you as I prefer."

Scarlett bowed her head because she knew she couldn't offend Cassidy. She attacked her in the past because of her goals, and now she could only regret it.

She knows that it won't be easy to get Cassidy's forgiveness, but she also won't give up as the final reward is to stay with Lucien.

Olivia, on the contrary, does not care for Cassidy's opinion. "What he will do to me is his choice, not yours."

Cassidy walked over to Olivia, looked her in the eye, and then slapped her face. The blow was strong and sent Olivia back several meters until she hit a wall.

"Do not think that you can be hostile to my family, and I will remain passive. I don't act in the same gentle way that he does."

Olivia stood up, ran her hand over her mouth to wipe the blood, and prepared to say something, but Astrid came into the hall and interrupted her.

"Didn't you learn the lesson, Olivia? This is not your guild where you can do whatever you want."

Olivia still didn't want to be quiet and prepared to insult Cassidy, but then she felt someone take her arm.

She prepared to attack, but then saw that it was Scarlett looking at her with a friendly expression for the first time, which surprised her.

Scarlett spoke in the friendliest tone she could. "There is no point in arguing with her, Olivia. We are the only ones guilty here, Please stop."

Olivia was ready to fight, but she can't handle Scarlett being friendly. That confused her. "Scarlett... You... We cannot accept any humiliation like it's nothing."

Scarlett continued to hold Olivia's arm. "We should be dead for what we did to Cassidy in the past, but Lucien is giving us another chance here. We shouldn't waste his goodwill by being hostile for no reason."

Olivia thought about Scarlett's words. She was about to awaken her dark affinity and heal her scars, so there was no point in losing it just to fight Cassidy.

It was difficult, but Olivia held her anger back and stayed silent. She didn't say it, but she was grateful to Scarlett for stopping her from doing something that she would undoubtedly regret.

Scarlett, still holding Olivia's hand, gave Cassidy a pleading expression. "Can we see him, please?"

Cassidy disliked Scarlett's manipulative personality and the hostility Olivia still had to Lucien. Still, she said she would let him handle it any way he wanted, so she wouldn't do anything.

She looked at Astrid. "Can you take them there? I don't trust them to leave the castle without supervision."

Astrid nodded to Cassidy and headed for the door. "Let's. He's outside the town."

Olivia followed Astrid while Scarlett smiled at Cassidy before leaving. "Thank you, Cassidy."

The trio left the castle while Cassidy went to Angela's office to talk about Kingdom affairs. But one person didn't leave the hall.

Kara was paralyzed with fear. Afraid of Cassidy. When she spoke in that cold and dominant tone to Olivia, Kara couldn't help being terrified.

After all, she was doing perverted things with Lucien's clothes and clearly trying to seduce him... So if Cassidy got mad at her…

The little maid shook her head to ward off those scary thoughts and continued her work.

They wore hoods and were discreet so that no one would recognize them as they walked through the city.

Almost half an hour later, they arrived at the farm that Lucien is training his female troops at.

They went to the back of the farm where there were several open fields with lots of space and saw Lucien sitting on a chair beside a small table while watching the six hundred women running around in a large area.

The trio approached Lucien, and while Olivia and Scarlett stayed behind Astrid, she asked him. "Why are they running like that?"

Lucien smiled. "I am analyzing their will individually to find out which type of training is best for each one."

Astrid made a thoughtful expression. "So, do you want to know who will last the longest before getting tired?"

"No. This has nothing to do with their physical capabilities but their mental ones. With Lust's ability to analyze, I can tell who is most tired and still trying to keep running." Lucien explained.

"I will not reward them without seeing hard work before. But as long as they try hard, I will be generous…"

Olivia understood Lucien's carrot and stick method and couldn't help asking. "Is that what you're doing with us?"

Lucien looked at her with a fake confused expression. "Did I ask you for hard work from you before I started healing your face? Unless you consider loyalty and less hostility as working hard."
