Lust Knight Chapter 451: Commitment Seal

Chapter 451: Commitment Seal

A historic day… None of those hundreds of angels of the Crassus and Corvus Houses thought that it would be possible.
While they are in formation on one side, Lucien's troops are on the other side. In the center is Lucien and Alexa, surrounded by his sisters, wives, the Sins, and her main assistants.
The angels watch in disbelief as the strongest mage of the Crassus House creates a Commitment Seal enchantment to bind Alexa and Lucien with an alliance promise.
As the Sins and Daisy are present, there is no way for that angel to do any trick on Lucien. And, of course, Alexa would never do anything like that either.
"So this is for real..." An angel comments while everyone else is also accepting that.
The Crassus House's angels hate the Gods and knew that following Alexa would lead them to a rebellion. However, everyone is shocked by an alliance with demons. There was no way for them to expect that their most terrifying enemies would help them.
"There is no going back after that..." Another angel comments. "The Gods are going to kill us and destroy our entire homes if they find out about this."
Although they do not know what comes next, no angel of the Crassus House thinks about abandoning Alexa, while the angels of the Corvus House are very confused.
"We will be free in life or death." A young angel from the Corvus House comments. They lost their leaders, and like most, they can only think of asking to join the Crassus House just like the people of the Caudinus House did.
In the center of the circle, Lucien smiles as he hears the angels' comments. They all seem to hate the Gods, and the alliance between their peoples seems really nice.
But not all angels seem to agree with that. June, the woman who was tortured by Pride, walks up to Alexa. Well, actually, she limps because Sophia hasn't completely healed her.
While holding Lucien's hand so that the angel mage can make the Commitment Seal, Alexa notices June's approach. She can't help being upset with Pride for torturing one of her assistants, but she also understands how things ended up that way.
"Master..." June respectfully speaks to Alexa before looking quickly at Lucien with a hostile expression.
Alexa sighs. "I know... you don't agree with this alliance, right? But can't you see that we need this to have a real chance of getting rid of our chains and finally being free?"
"But..." June can see the potential of Lucien and his group, yet she can't stop being afraid of them. "Master, these people are dangerous. Even if you make a Commitment Seal with this man, his group will still be a threat to us. They brutally killed my family..."
"Lucien told me what happened." Alexa comments. "Your group sneakily attacked him while he was in the middle of another fight. And I'm not surprised by that as your siblings were really impulsive and reckless."
June makes a sorry expression. "You can't blame my siblings for fearing demons. Neoc... was scared. He wanted our family to be together again, and we needed to find the cursed sword to get your favor. The Corvus House was crumbling, and we couldn't give any reasons for the Gods to be angry at us."
Alexa also makes a sorry expression while looking at Lucien. "In fact, my people are forced to hate and fear demons. The only ones to blame for that are the Gods."
"But..." She continues. "Only we decide our actions. Neoc chose to attack Lucien and died due to his stupidity and folly, something that would not have happened if the angels of the Corvus House still had honor."
While the Corvus House's angels bow their heads out of shame, Alexa continues while looking at them. "The fact that you are without a good leader is my fault... Atticus has been taking care of me all these years and had not time to teach you about honor."
She looks at Lucien again. "Those angels of my House who attacked you also acted wrongly, even though they were under Agapius' orders. I can only apologize for that and guarantee that I will be more strict with them so that something like that never happens again."
Lucien smiles as he looks at their hands. "I understand that people get irrational when they are afraid. So we just have to create a future where they are not afraid of each other... we, their leaders, have to cure these disagreements between our races."
"A better fut... a bright future." Alexa's eyes sparkle while she looks at Lucien's. Somehow, she feels that being on his side is the wisest decision she could make.
But then her eyes deviate a little and focus on Pride, behind him. "However, torturing my good assistant was not cool at all. Such an act of cruelty may continue as a thorn in my heart."
While June's eyes plead for some justice, Pride maintains an arrogant expression. "Humph!"
Lucien looks at her with a provocative smile while talking to Alexa. "I still have unfinished business with her myself. In fact, I have to punish her for being a bad girl."
Pride looks him in the eye with a stern expression, but internally, she is excited for him to try anything on her because all the interactions between them are fun for her.
Everyone can see how tense the atmosphere gets as Pride and Lucien gaze at each other. They seem to create something like the lustful aura he creates with Lust and the jealous aura with Amelia and Envy. However, he and Pride have no connection yet.
Then he looks at Alexa again. "I will remember this... inconvenience when I am punishing her."
"That's enough for me." She smiles at Lucien. However, she can't imagine how any punishment made by him to a woman could be really unpleasant. She herself still wants to lie down on his lap even though she wouldn't say that out loud even under a death threat.
"Great," Lucien comments as he looks at their hands. "This is the beginning of a prosperous alliance..."
"For sure!" Alexa agrees.
His sisters, wives, and the Sins are not sure what to expect from the first alliance between a demon and an angel, but they believe that it can work, mainly because it is a promise between Lucien and a woman.
The mage angel finishes the Commitment Seal, and then Lucien and Alexa swear to help each other as allies in any situation.
Although there are some flaws in that promise, like the one mentioned by June about only them and not their whole groups being under oath, that is still a sign of confidence, and as leaders of their groups, that influences everyone who trusts them.
Alexa orders her troops to start energizing the portal for them to return to Qia. She cannot spend much time away from home without drawing the attention of the emperor, who has probably already sent spies to various worlds in search of her.
Meanwhile, she wastes no time and starts hugging Helena tightly. "Grandma!! I really wanted you to be healed and come home with me."
Helena makes a loving expression while that scene is very strange due to Alexa being much taller than her grandmother. "I know, my dear. But I could never go back without causing problems for our family... that cannot be my home anymore."
"I, or rather..." Alexa says while taking a quick look at Lucien. "WE are going to create a new home where you and our whole family will start over."
"I hope so," Helena comments as she looks at Lucien with a thoughtful expression.
He smiles provocatively. "You girls look very cute together, but... Alexa, you still haven't fulfilled our first deal."
"Heh? I thought we... ah..." She is confused, but then she understands what he is talking about, which makes her blush.
His eyes shine pure purple. "Twenty-four hours... you were supposed to lie on my lap for twenty-four hours, but you only did it for a few hours."
Helena looks away while feeling strange sensations. Meanwhile, Alexa makes a sorry expression. "I really forgot about that because I was so focused on our alliance... my bad."
"I get it." He nods. "However, that is the kind of thing that could be like... a thorn in my heart."
[Oh, you devil!!!] Alexa is flustered with Lucien for using her words against her.
She can hear her troops commenting about that, and they don't blame Lucien for demanding his prize after all he had to go through to withstand her brutal blows.
Lucien can see that Alexa is feeling conflicting emotions now. But as he doesn't really want to leave her in a bad situation, he thinks of a diplomatic solution.
"I know you have to go back home, and you want to enjoy the time you still have with your grandmother, so I'm not going to insist on that now." He speaks in a friendly tone.
"Thanks ..." She says honestly, but seeing that his provocative smile is still shining like an evil sun, she knows that it is not all.
"However..." He pauses while looking into Alexa's eyes, making her heart beat faster. "You will have to do that the next time we meet."
Alexa doesn't know how to react to his words. [Why does he seem to affect me this way?? Is this because of my grandmother, or am I really going crazy???]
While Lucien seems to be waiting for confirmation from Alexa, Helena gazes at him with a fake upset expression. "Why don't you stop bullying my granddaughter, you devil?!?!"
"Maybe you want to work this out for her?" Lucien asks in a teasing tone. "I wouldn't mind, you know... we'll have to be closer so I can heal you anyway."
"I... I... I just..." Helena starts to stutter as she imagines what it will be like to be healed by Lucien. She still remembers how he healed Cassidy and Olivia, and that was very embarrassing just to hear, let alone participate.
Alexa shakes her head. "Now he's bullying you, grandma... Are you going to let him continue with his games??"
"And what do you want me to do? I'm still afraid of that scary woman." Helena comments. "You should beat him!"
"I can't, not anymore." She responds while looking at the image of a semi-circle on the back of her hands, which completes the other semi-circle on the back of Lucien's hand.
"So it can't be helped..." Helena comments as she tries to look away from Lucien and his teasing smile.
Lucien could spend days teasing Alexa and Helena, but he knows they spent a lot of time apart and leaves them alone to enjoy each other before she has to go back to Qia.
As he walks over to his sisters, he notices Luise talking to Eve. "Oh, I didn't have time to talk to my beautiful mother-in-law..."
Eve smiles as Luise looks at him with an impressed expression. "I knew you were powerful; after all, you are the brother of our great Queen, but... that was the most incredible fight I have ever seen."
He makes a fake ashamed expression. "Do you mean that beating I got? That is not the first impression I would like to give to my mother-in-law."
"Are you kidding?" She asks sarcastically. "Everyone could see how frighteningly strong that woman is. I know I couldn't survive a slight flick from her, but you got up over and over after suffering so many injuries..."
Luise's eyes shine with admiration, as much as she has for Eve, which makes Pride feel a lot of demonic energy being generated.
The mature fox lady continues. "No other man would have handled that situation so well. Men don't accept losing a fight, let alone for a woman. They wouldn't have agreed to fight her, but you... you did what no one would do; you did the impossible!"
While Luise looks like one of the fans of Lucien from the L secret club, Elsie and Anne giggles, and Eve has a proud smile on her face. She also sees how amazing Lucien is, not only because of his strength but because of how things get more and more interesting around him.
All the Sins also think that way because he and his sisters are the most fascinating hosts they have ever had.
