Chapter 110 - Little Pet

Lucien left the training room carrying Scarlett carefully so as not to make her situation worse. L.u.s.t followed him, carrying Olivia.

He heard Kara, the cute maid, coming up the stairs, probably bringing his clothes, which she washed in a unique way.

Lucien entered his room, then waited a few seconds, and Kara came in too, carrying his clothes. She saw him carrying an injured woman and couldn't help asking. "Lucien, can I be useful? I know a little bit of first aid."

Whether or not if it is Kara's abilities or any other healing method, they wouldn't be comparable to life mana right from the source, plus Lucien's l.u.s.tful beneficial effects.

Still, Lucien could use Kara's help. "If you are willing, their wounds need to be cleaned. They also needed clean clothes."

Kara wouldn't miss an opportunity to help Lucien, so she quickly agreed to clean up Olivia and Scarlett. They went into the bathroom and put the two in the tub filled with warm water.

While L.u.s.t was silent in the corner, Lucien watched Kara clean Scarlett and Olivia's wounds. She did not remove the wooden staff halves from their bodies because it would bleed a lot more and cause them severe damage.

After a few minutes, Olivia and Scarlett were clean but still unconscious. Lucien asked Kara to prepare clean clothes and also good food for them, but only bring it the next morning.

Kara did not understand the situation well but would do as Lucien asked and left his room after putting his clean clothes in the wardrobe.

The bathroom was silent, and L.u.s.t couldn't help asking. "What are you thinking?"

Lucien was gazing at Scarlett with a thoughtful look. "If they cooperate, they may be useful, but if they only mean to cause problems, I will give them a clean death."

It was not the answer that L.u.s.t was waiting for. She knew that Lucien was worried about something else, but before she could ask, he explained.

"Neither of us knows exactly how my tattoos work... I am concerned about creating a bond with them without my control."

L.u.s.t understood Lucien's concern. After all, her tattoo on him was a contract of souls and brought them together in a very intimate way.

Just as she couldn't harm him and didn't want to, he could be connected to the girls like this without their knowledge.

Of course, they could only guess things because there never had demons who could put their tattoo on multiple people at the same time.

L.u.s.t looked at Lucien with a serious expression. "You know... The connection would be between you and them, so I could just kill them if they don't cooperate..."

"You can also try not to put the tattoo on them. Just as a woman needs to accept you, you should also be able to choose who can and cannot receive it."

Lucien thought it would be easy to deal with Olivia and Scarlett if he dominates them, but he had no control over the tattoo, and that was worrisome.

Still, just like L.u.s.t said, he could try not putting the tattoo on Olivia and Scarlett, and if he failed and they caused problems, L.u.s.t could kill them.

"Okay, I'll start. Demateralize your body or wait in the bedroom so they can be more comfortable." Lucien sat on the side of the bathtub, and L.u.s.t dematerialized her body, returning to his body.

Lucien looked at Scarlett. Her body suffered many injuries, so she was knocked out due to exhaustion. Then he started to caress her cute ears, which even wet, were pleasant to touch.

He couldn't help but find her cute when she is quiet, unlike when she was awake and trying to manipulate him, which is very annoying.

Lucien gently tilted Scarlett's head up and kissed her lips. Then he slowly forced his tongue into her mouth.

Her mouth still tasted like blood, but soon, the life mana in Lucien's saliva made the kiss more pleasant.

Also, the life mana acted quickly, restoring some of the energy that Scarlett's body lost trying to recover.

Lucien moved his tongue inside Scarlett's mouth for a few seconds until he felt her reaction. Her tongue started to move too, but she didn't seem to resist him and just followed his movements, slowly and awkwardly.

"Mm..." Scarlett made a faint m.o.a.n before opening her eyes and seeing Lucien's face.

As he was not forcing anything, she managed to move her head to the side, breaking the kiss. "What are you- W-what does th- W-why?!?!?!"

Lucien smiled at Scarlett and licked the saliva of hers, which was still on his lips. That was much more impactful to her than a punch because it hit deep into her female instincts.

"I'm taking advantage of your s.e.xy body before you go to the afterlife." Lucien didn't try to lie because it is obvious from his smile that it is a joke.

Scarlett seriously gazed at him. "No, you are not the type of person who would do that."

Lucien moved his face closer to hers, making Scarlett look away. "You don't know anything about me, so don't say what kind of person I am."

Scarlett put her hand on Lucien's chest to prevent him from getting closer to her. "So, what are you going to do with me?"

"I could kill you... Or do you prefer to live as a cripple? You should know that you will not feel your legs again." Lucien's words were like a thorn in Scarlett's heart.

She felt nothing from her waist down, and her whole upper body hurt. She also couldn't move her right arm because half of the staff was stuck in her shoulder.

Still, she tried to maintain a brave attitude. "So you brought me to your room, bathed me, then kissed me, just to kill me? Why doesn't that make any sense to me?"

"How do you know this is my room?" Lucien was curious.

Scarlett has an excellent sense of smell. "I can smell you everywhere. There are also several females scents... Do you use some kind of aphrodisiac to get women?"

Lucien smiled at Scarlett. "You should be more concerned about your situation and not my women."

"And what is my situation?" Scarlett was making a great effort to stay calm. Like anyone who becomes crippled, she just wanted to cry.

Lucien stopped smiling for the first time since Scarlett woke up, which made her sure he is serious now. "Like I said in the jail cell, if you survived, we could make a deal."

Scarlett wanted to continue negotiating seriously, but her emotions were increasingly in chaos, and she was unable to hold back her tears. "DO YOU THIN-"

Lucien knew that she couldn't keep her calm attitude for long. He sealed her mouth with a kiss preventing her from speaking.

She tried to turn her head, but he held her. When she tried to scream, he forced his tongue into her mouth. Scarlett then tried to use her left arm to push him away, but she was unable to stop the kiss.

Lucien knew that words would not convince someone like Scarlett, so he would have to show what he had to offer with actions. He also had no intention of being kind to her.

Despite the situation looking like he was just forcing himself onto her, Scarlett knew something else was happening when her body started to tingling. Because of her mind being in chaos, she didn't realize Lucien's life mana was healing her wounds, so she kept fighting to get out of his embrace.

Lucien pulled her body closer to his and removed the half the staff from her shoulder while continuing the kiss.

"MMMMM!!!" Scarlett felt terrible pain, so she m.o.a.ned and bit Lucien's tongue.

Despite feeling pain, Lucien just hugged her and allowed her to continue biting his tongue. His whole body is much tougher than a normal person, so she wouldn't be able to bite his tongue off.

Scarlett's wound started to bleed the moment he removed it from her shoulder, but after a few seconds, the wound began to close slowly, and the pain did not seem to increase.

After a minute, she started to calm down and realized she was biting Lucien's tongue.

She also realized that although his actions seemed rude, in fact, he removed the staff, allowed her to bite him while hugging her, and somehow was also healing her wound.

"Why????" Scarlett stopped biting Lucien's tongue and questioned, still hugging him.

Lucien moved back a little and positioned her in the corner of the bathtub again. "I don't want to be your enemy. You being dead or crippled is not useful to me."

Scarlett wanted to question more, but then she was surprised to find that her shoulder wound was almost closed. She also felt the pain in her body decreasing, but she still felt nothing below her waist.

Before Scarlett could speak more, Lucien made his point clear. "I'll be straightforward, you have two options."

"First: You accept my help, I restore your body and also make you stronger than ever. So you obey all my orders. ALL ORDERS."

"Or, I give you a clean and fast death now," Lucien spoke in a strict tone, and his expression didn't change for even a second, making Scarlett sure that there is no third option.

Still, she knew how complicated spinal injuries were, and even though he healed her shoulder wound, she still had to make sure. "How are you going to heal me?"

Lucien rolled his eyes. "Didn't you just see it? Of course, just like Cassidy's poison, your spinal injury needs more intense treatment than kissing."

Scarlett understood what Lucien meant, but it still seemed absurd even though she was feeling the effect of his saliva in her body.

Before she could question him, Lucien spoke. "I know it seems hard to believe, but right now, your pain has stopped decreasing, right? Let me kiss you again, and your wound will heal quickly again."

Lucien didn't give Scarlett time to react and kissed her again. This time she didn't resist because she knew he had no intention of hurting her.

Now that she was calmer, Scarlett could feel how good his kiss is. Also, her wound started to recover quickly, in fact, faster than before. She was no longer in pain, and pleasure began to dominate her upper body.

When Lucien stopped kissing, Scarlett's lips instinctively followed Lucien's mouth. There was also a string of saliva between them while she was flushed, making Lucien smile.

She felt shame, anger, desire... Scarlett was always in control of the situation while she manipulated others. But now she is hurt, without advantages, and completely at the mercy of Lucien, who is arousing dangerous feelings in her.

Lucien then looked into her eyes. "So, now is the time for you make your choice. I offer you a cure for any imperfections in your body, and power like you've never had before."

Although Scarlett still had several doubts, Lucien really seemed to be able to heal her with his body. It also made sense that his women are so incredible.

She gazed at him with a thoughtful look. "Am I basically going to become your slave?"

Lucien shrugged. "You can think like that, after all, I'm going to put the black mark on you, just like you suggested before. Still, I prefer to call you a little pet."

When Scarlett suggested Lucien use the black mark, she was sure that he would not have a powerful enough mage for that. But now she was no longer sure of anything. if he really does have a powerful enough mage for the black mark, then he could really make her his little pet.

Still, she couldn't see any other solution to her situation. The fact that she didn't feel her legs was still destroying her.

If Lucien could cure her, then she would still have a future. Otherwise, a quick death would be better. "I don't think I have a choice then."

L.u.s.t couldn't take it anymore and materialized her body next to Lucien.

"Stupid woman!! What my husband is offering you is the chance that every woman in the universe would want, and you make it look like a punishment."
