Lust Knight



Kamala wishes she could stay in Lucien's arms forever, kissing him. But she breaks the kiss while making a shy expression.

"We have to see my parents..." She explains.

"Of course." He comments and holds her hand.

She smiles and starts to swim towards the big royal castle.

Along the way, Lucien takes a close look at everything around them, from rocks and plants, to exotic animals like strange fishes and many Nagas.

And just like in that building that is Kamala's house, along the way, all the Nagas act respectfully towards her, but they also look at her with sorry expressions, making Lucien increasingly uncomfortable.

Soon they arrive in front of that majestic castle, surrounded by protective barriers as well as the dome that keeps the water out of that place.

As they approach the dome, dozens of Naga quickly appear on the other side, equipped with incredible black armor and wielding their soul weapons. Lust quickly reports that they are all in the early or and middle Immortal Realm stages.

"Who are you???" One of the guards, who appears to be the captain as he is in the sixth layer Immortal Realm, asks in an arrogant tone.

"He's my guest, can't you see?!?" Kamala also asks in an arrogant and authoritative tone, sounding more like a spoiled noble rather than the cute and loving girl she looked like just ago.

"Princess..." That captain speaks in a neutral tone but doesn't lower his arrogant attitude. "You know you can't bring outsiders into our Kingdom without the King's permission, especially to the royal castle."

Kamala makes an upset expression. "You damn servant! Do you think you can tell me what to do or not? Have you forgotten that I'm the main one chosen to rule our people after my father? Do you really want to infuriate your future Queen?"

The captain smiles. "I'm sure our beloved King will live for thousands of years!"

"Long live the King Tyrion!!!" The other guards exclaim in a respectful tone.

"You!!" Kamala is concerned that they might do something to Lucien, so she tries to act even more authoritatively.

"I'm going to take you to your father while this guy gets detained." But the captain ignores her request and goes through the dome while trying to grab Kamala by her arm.

That move seems quick, but Kamala is one layer above that captain and could avoid him alone. Yet that scene seems like slow motion to Lucien, and he feels déjà vu as he remembers a guard who also tried to touch one of his wives and ended up with his arm severed.

And again, Lucien feels that the arrogant guard deserves to have his arm cut off to never think of acting so boldly toward his wives again.

But he knows that it's due to the Bloody Rose's influence, which makes his emotions more intense than they should be. And although he thinks it's right to put that guard in his place, that would start a massacre, which is definitely not a good way to start a friendly relationship with those people.

*Burble*

So, Lucien moves quickly, taking Kamala around the waist and moving her body back to avoid the captain's move.

Kamala is a little startled by Lucien's sudden and unexpected movement, but her body instinctively recognizes his touch, and she just lets him take her back.

[Huh???] But the captain is shocked that Lucien's speed is so much higher than his, especially when they are so deep in the ocean.

He stares at Lucien with a confused expression. [He still seems to be just in the Erath Realm... what the hell is going on??]

But Lucien looks at him with a stern look and can't stop his eyes from glowing golden and his draconic aura from appearing. "Don't try to touch her again, or I'll make you swallow your arms and tail."

Threaten the leader of the Black Guard, the King's main servants? That's a situation those Naga didn't expect to happen with anyone except the Princess and the Queen, but there they are, watching an Erath Realm outsider doing that.

The next event would naturally be for the Black Guards to tie Lucien to a rock in the middle of Naga City and flog him for a full year before killing him in an even more humiliating and painful way. Yes, that has already happened to many other Nagas who questioned the royal authority.

But how could those guards do that now if they can't even breathe due to the pressure put over them by Lucien's aura?

Not only affecting those guards, Lucien's aura keeps spreading through the place and attracts the attention of the three most important people in the Naga Kingdom.

"Let's go." Kamala takes Lucien's hand and leads him inside the dome. Although she wasn't affected by that pressure, even she couldn't help but be a little afraid of that power.

As soon as they start to enter the castle, the guards breathe again, and one of them looks at their leader. "Captain..."

The captain looks at Lucien passing through the castle's great gates and then quickly speaks to the other guards. "Notify the King, right now!!"

Some guards go notify the King while the captain and the others begin to gather all the Black Guards in town.

Inside the castle, Lucien is impressed by how luxurious the place is. Unlike Kamala's house, the royal castle is illuminated by magic lamps, and the floors and walls are made of emerald green glasses.

The Black Guards along the way try to confront them again, but Lucien releases all the pressure of his aura on them, causing most to kneel on the floor, unable to breathe.

Once they arrive in the main hall, Lucien is again surprised to see dozens of different furniture and many small pillars supporting glass boxes with different items inside.

"My father's trophies..." Kamala comments in a sad tone while pointing to items inside those boxes like crowns, jewels, and even heads of mystical creatures. "He likes everyone to admire his achievements."

'Something like the paintings you make of your wives.' Lust comments in Lucien's mind.

'But I'll be the only one to appreciate them.' He responds.

Then Lucien looks at Kamala with a curious expression. "Your father looks really powerful..."

Kamala feels bad, but before she can respond, a charming female voice comes from upstairs, or rather, the ramp that connects the first floor to the second. "But at a high cost."

They look up, and Lucien is surprised, or rather impressed, to see a gorgeous mature Naga Lady.

Kamala doesn't need to say that that woman is her mother as Lucien can smell that they have the same natural fragrance as well as very similar faces.

But unlike the young Naga princess, her mother has long black hair, which is half gray as the color of her tail is faded, probably due to her being so old and not being in the Cosmic Realm.

And just as Lucien imagined, the Naga Queen has a charming mature face and a so hot curvy body with a slim waist and breasts twice the size of her daughter's.

Her brown eyes are sparkling with curiosity, fixed on Lucien while her full lips slowly curve into a suggestive smile.

"Mom!" Kamala exclaims as she flies up the ramp and hugs the mature Naga tightly.

Her mother hugs her too but keeps looking at Lucien with a thoughtful expression. "I missed you, darling... But I'm curious to meet your new friend."

"Hehehe..." Kamala giggles as she stops hugging her mother and looks at him. "His name is Lucien, and he's really impressive, doesn't he?"

"Impressive, indeed..." The Naga Queen smiles. "But he's a demon; did you notice that?"

Kamala nods. "Yes, that's why I brought him to our home; Father can't offend his race, and that might be an excellent alliance for us."

"I hope so..." The Naga Queen comments. "Since you guys created quite a stir among the Black Guards, your father must be coming here right now."

As the mature Naga speaks, she continues to look at Lucien and examine his body. And, of course, he and Lust do the same to her.

'There is something very wrong with this woman!' Lust comments in Lucien's mind.

'What do you mean?' He asks.

'She is in the fifth layer of the Immortal Realm?' She responds.

'Really?' Lucien can't help but ask. 'But that doesn't make sense... I mean, Kamala is in the seventh layer, and that woman shouldn't look like that having that power level at such an age, right?'

'Exactly.' Lust comments and then explains. 'She was much more powerful before, but someone stole her power.'

'How is that possible?' Lucien asks as he can't help but be sorry for the Naga Queen and wonder if that's why the servants look at Kamala with that pitying look.

Lust quickly explains. 'There aren't many ways to do it, and they're generally associated with dark magic. I'm pretty sure that's the case because I feel a lot of dark mana in that Cosmic Realm guy and someone else...'

It's not hard for Lucien to imagine the situation of Kamala and her mother. 'So her father stole the power of his own wife? That sucks!'

'And he'll probably do the same to his daughter.' Lust comments. 'I mean, Kamala inherited her mother's latent talent, something that seems to come from their Bloodline. So he must be waiting for her to get stronger to steal her power.'

Lucien's eyes glow golden again. 'It's too bad for him that my naginata will take his life before he managed to do that!'

'Do you already see Kamala as your wife, don't you?' She asks.

'Now I do.' He doesn't think twice about answering. 'Do you have something against that?'

'Of course not.' She also responds immediately. 'You should kill this bastard King and take his Kingdom. You don't need to stay here to rule them, and when we go to fight the Gods, having entire races as your troops will be really useful.'

'Sounds like a good plan to me...' He agrees.

'Especially the part where you take another mother-daughter couple to your bed...' She comments.

'You know me so well.' He smiles.

Although Lucien and Lust talk quickly mentally, his silence and smile leave Kamala, and her mother confused.

"Lucien? Are you okay?" Kamala asks.

He flaps his wings, flying to her side and her mother as that ramp looks too slippery for anyone other than a Naga.

"Yep, I was just amazed at how beautiful you and your mom are." He comments in a casual tone.

Kamala can't help but blush while her heart feels warmer, but her mother just smiles. "Such a compliment coming from someone with your look should get any girl wet, right?"

Lucien is excited to interact with a woman who doesn't seem to be influenced by his charm. "Every woman deserves praises, and if their husbands don't do that, I don't mind doing it for them."

The Naga Queen charmingly smiles. "You're such a generous man for wanting to help these poor husbands who don't have time for their wives..."

"Generosity is my biggest quality after all." He comments with an obviously false and sarcastic tone.

"Hmm…" She shakes her head as she looks his body up and down. "I'm sure you have bigger things than generosity..."

"I can't say you're wrong." He smiles teasingly.

She smiles too and extends her hand to him. "By the way, my name is Mira."

Lucien gently holds her hand and kisses Its back. "Mira... It's a beautiful name, but isn't that too simple for a very impressive woman?"

"Hahahaha..." She laughs. "Appearances are deceiving, but inside my heart, I have simple desires, which makes me a simple woman."

"I see..." Lucien actually believes those words because somehow, he can feel that he and Mira have similar desires: to protect their families.
