Chapter 411: Conflicting Feelings
"It's working! It's really working!!!" Rose exclaims, thrilled as she can clearly see that her mother is getting better.
Lucien continues to hug her and kisses her head while he and Daisy look each other in the eye. Seeing that she is getting better makes him much less worried. Regardless of what happens next, he will never let anything bad happen to them and will do anything to make them happy.
Daisy is also thrilled. She understands how severe the damage in the Blood Nascent is, but right now, she is feeling Sophia's energies healing it and also restoring her original blood.
Not only helping her to become a complete vampire again but also making her stronger than ever. Those energies coming from Sophia are both incredibly powerful and pleasant.
And she knows that it is also due to Lucien. She wants to not feel so good about getting help from him again, yet she can't help but feel that trusting him is so natural.
A part of her just wants to accept his care, while another part knows that if things go on like this, she will have problems with her marriage.
However, she could not refuse his help, or she would be dead soon. So she just keeps letting Sophia's energies heal her body while she looks at Lucien. [It can't be helped...]
Meanwhile, Lust and Sloth are closely watching the creation of a new type of vampire, one with two Sins energies.
'That woman... she planned that Daisy would be Lucien's woman and not Rose, right?' Lust asks Sloth mentally.
She quickly responds. 'I believe so. She probably thought that Daisy would not get involved with another man after what happened in her homeworld.'
She continues. 'Also, I think she planned that Lucien would be the only one to heal Daisy, but Sophia got much stronger faster than she expected... thanks to Lucien too.'
'Yet, things are going that way anyway...' Lust says. 'Lucien doesn't want to destroy her marriage, but now she is getting a taste of his demonic energy, and she is going to want more.'
'This has nothing to do with him but with the fact that her current husband is not a suitable partner for her while there are only benefits to being with Lucien.' Sloth comments.
Lust sighs. 'What about the Fallen Angel? Do you think Sophia can heal her?'
'I think not.' Sloth quickly responds. 'But it doesn't hurt to try.'
'...' They get silent as they watch Sophia continue to heal Daisy.
Despite having that mix of energies, Sophia has a hard time healing Daisy. The process of restoring her original blood and healing her Blood Nascent takes almost an entire hour.
"Ahh..." Sophia sighs as she stops holding Daisy's hand and rests her back on the chair.
Lucien quickly approaches her and kisses her lips, restoring her life mana and the energy mix while mentally praising her. 'You were amazing, my love.'
Rose quickly approaches her mother and hugs her. "Mom!! How do you feel now??"
Daisy still has a confused and thoughtful expression while she can't believe how good and powerful she feels. "I... I don't know exactly how... but this is... good... very good."
"Hahaha... Sophia is really amazing!!" Rose starts happily laughing while hugging her mom tightly.
"Yes, she is," Daisy responds as she looks at Sophia and Lucien with a grateful expression.
Donna claps as she smiles at Sophia. "My little sister is really amazing."
"Indeed..." Helena comments as she looks at her and Lucien with an expectant expression. Sophia's healing skills are really great, but she wonders how much of that is due to Lucien's demonic energy.
After kissing Lucien until she is breathless, Sophia looks at Daisy. "Are you really okay? I'm not sure how your Blood Nascent will work from now on."
Daisy looks at her hands. "I... I feel like unlimited power is running inside me..."
"Your aura seems to be stable now... Sky realm sixth layer... was that your original power level?" Lust asks.
"Fourth..." Daisy thinks out loud while making a shocked expression. "I was in the fourth layer of Sky Realm."
Rose also makes a shocked expression while Sloth smiles. "So it looks like you're better than before."
She looks at Sophia and Lucien with a confused expression. "But how is this possible??"
Lucien strokes Sophia's hair. "Sophia just gave you almost all of her mix of energies, and that was a lot after our fun yesterday..."
"This power..." Daisy again looks at her hands. "Demonic energy... I am really grateful to you."
"No problem. You are part of the family, right?" Sophia smiles at her as she holds Lucien's hand. "We take care of our family."
Rose and her mother smile as Lucien feel like kissing Sophia more and more. Then Sloth talks to Daisy. "You should try to use your strength and also drink blood to see how your Blood Nascent reacts."
"Yeah," Daisy responds as she gets up. She holds on to the arm of the stone chair and ends up breaking it, which makes her lose the balance.
*Whoosh*
Lucien acts instinctively and holds Daisy before she falls. But for that, he ends up hugging her waist and holding her arm.
"Are you okay?" He asks as he looks into her beautiful red eyes.
"Oh my... I can't even control this strength right, hahaha..." Daisy starts to laugh because she feels more powerful and good than ever.
But then she notices Rose looking at her with a strange expression; only then does she notice that Lucien is still hugging her waist, and that doesn't seem appropriate.
Lucien also realizes that his actions as exaggerated, and he quickly releases Daisy while taking a step back. "Sorry... I thought there could be something wrong..."
Daisy can't prevent her face from getting even more flushed as she tries to look away. "Yeah... we still don't know how it works... anyway... thanks for helping me, again..."
Her flushed and cute expression makes Lucien feel even more attracted to her, and he feels bad about it because he can feel Rose's concern.
The mature vampire also seems to be very confused as she has to deal with the emotion of being healed, her new body improved, and her new feelings.
Then the mood gets weird, and Lucien quickly thinks of something. "Just wait here and get used to your new strength; will I get you some squirrels."
"Great!" She quickly responds. "Thank you again."
"No need to say thanks, okay? We are family, as Sophia said." He smiles and then starts flapping wings and flying to the sky. "Oh, do you have any preferences?"
"Red squirrels, please." Daisy giggles.
"Sure." He smiles at Daisy as he flies toward the forest.
Lust returns to Lucien's soul while the other girls look at Daisy with strange looks.
"Mom..." Rose looks at her with a concerned expression. She has seen many women fall in love with Lucien, and some of them have even been hostile to him at first, so the fact that Daisy is so friendly to him seems even more dangerous.
"My dear..." Daisy makes a sorry expression even though she thinks she hasn't done anything wrong.
Rose smiles and hugs her mother. "I'm so glad you are fine!"
While mother and daughter hug each other, Donna taps Sophia on the shoulder. "Sister... I know you had to work hard and you need a break, but..."
Sophia smiles at her sister and then looks at Helena. "You became friends quite quickly, didn't you?"
"Hehehe..." Donna runs her hand over her hair. "Helena is a good person... also, she was protecting Luci."
"Actually, she just peeked on him, even when he was having sex... I don't like that." Sophia responds.
While Helena blushes as she remembers the many times she saw Lucien naked, Donna makes an imploring expression. "Sis..."
Sophia sighs. "Anyway, I said I was going to try to help her because Lucien asked."
"And I am very grateful to both of you for that," Helena speaks. "Also, I can wait when it is the best time for you."
"It's okay now..." Sophia touches her lips. "Lucien helped me to recover mana and demonic energy. He'll be back soon and can give me more energy if I need it."
Then she turns her stone chair towards Helena. "Come here for me to see how your situation is."
Helena quickly approaches Sophia, and she holds her hand while talking to Sloth. "What do you think about her?"
"I'm not sure... Her state looks like a curse, but I think it's not that simple." Sloth speaks in a pessimistic tone.
But Sophia smiles at the Fallen Angel. "No matter what it is, we will do our best to help you."
"..." Helena smiles back. She still doesn't know how to interact with people again, especially people who are so peculiar.
"Well, can you tell us how it happened?" Sophia asks.
Helena makes a thoughtful expression. "Well... I did something I shouldn't, and I got punished... I remember someone knocking me out, and then I woke up afterward with a lot of pain and confusion. Someone helped me escape from where I was and told me that a God had transformed me into a Fallen Angel."
Everyone can understand that Helena doesn't want to give details of what happened, but in any case, she doesn't seem to have seen what they really did to her either.
"Just don't resist it," Sophia speaks and begins to infuse her energies into Helena's body.
She does it the same way she did with Daisy, closing her eyes and focusing on her life mana to analyze Helena's body from the inside.
Her body does not look very different from a human, but Sophia quickly notices something absurd. Her cells seem to be very old; in fact, they seem to be aging and dying very fast.
Sophia infused more life into her arm noticed that part of her body was getting better and healthier, but that energy starts to disappear quickly as if her body absorbed that several times faster than a normal person, then her cells start to age very fast again.
'That's how I thought...' Sloth speaks in Sophia's mind as she realizes the same things as her. 'She is not sick, but they changed her body. Also very similar to a curse.'
'Is she just getting older faster?' Sophia asks.
Sloth quickly responds. 'I think it's not just that. Her wings are black and rotting even faster than the rest of her body. Whatever they did to her, I don't think anyone else can do the same.'
'Anyway, I think if I give her more life mana... and the energies mix...' Sophia speaks as she tries to infuse more and more energy into Helena's body.
Helena feels those relaxing and pleasurable energies doing her body very well. But at the same time, she feels such effects fade too fast.
"Hmmm..." Sophia tries to give Helena more and more energy, but all life mana that enters her cells disappears quickly. And she starts to get very tired, mainly because she gave almost all her energies to Daisy.
'Don't push yourself too hard. You really need a rest.' Sloth speaks in her mind.
Sophia smiles. 'Do not worry; the more tired I get, the longer I will be able to rest in Lucien's arms.'
'Makes sense.' Sloth responds while her lips curve in a smile.
However, Helena realizes that things are not going well as it was with Daisy, which makes her very worried, just like Donna.
"I think your problem is not impossible to solve..." Sophia tells Helena. "However, I'm running out of life mana now... we'll have to wait for Lucien."
"I'm back." They hear Lucien's voice and see him above them, flapping his wings in the air while holding several red squirrels.
Helena blushes again while she thinks that her healing session will not be so simple.
