Lust Knight

Chapter 466: The Poor Dogs

Camblea's Lods are shocked as they see Oya knockdown Jenson so easily. He is in the third layer of the Mortal Realm and is the fourth-strongest person in the Freelands, second only to King, Heike, and Daisy.

Like any of the other Lords, he can defeat any person and mystic beast from the Zero Realm very easily, and no one expected to see a big tiger have such an advantage over him.

But no matter how hard he tries to lift Oya's paw, he can't move it an inch. And Her claws continue to slowly penetrate deeper into his chest as her fangs get dangerously closer to his face.

"Wait!!" Daisy exclaims as she flies in front of the other Lords. She clearly doesn't want to see her 'friends' being slaughtered because of impulsive and stupid actions.

While most Lords see Lucien's actions as reckless and stupid, Lord Wilmot sees the worry on Daisy's face. He knows she's a much more powerful person than she looks and now thinks Lucien, Donna, and the other women with them can be that powerful too.

"Lady Daisy, this is a misunderstanding!!" He speaks in a respectful and concerned tone. "We didn't mean to offend your friends."

"But this man offended me," Lucien comments in a relaxed tone as he enjoys the scared expression on Jenson's face. The man is about to p.i.s.s himself while Oya slowly terrifies him.

"Think again about your actions, boy!" A deep voice sounds from behind the Lords. Another floating platform appears with three people.

One is a young man with luxurious clothes, the others are middle-aged men, also with amazing clothes, but only one wears a crown, the King, and the one who talks to Lucien is the other.

"Dad!!" Rose exclaims as she smiles at Heike. However, she does not leave behind Lucien, because even wanting to hug her father, she now wants to support her husband.

Daisy looks at Heike with an expression both relieved and concerned. She has many conflicting feelings, but now she wants his help to avoid a bloodbath.

"Heike, make the Lord back down, or this will get out of hand." She asks and nods lightly to the King.

He ignores Daisy's request while he doesn't stop gazing at Lucien. When he heard him say that Jensen had offended him, Heike already felt that she wouldn't like Lucien; after all, it's their home, and they don't tolerate hostile visitors.

And as soon as he actually saw Lucien, that guy with the most exotic and impressive appearance of all, but also a mysterious and l.u.s.tful aura, Heike was sure he didn't like Lucien at all.

[WHY?!?] But the shock only came when he noticed Rose standing behind Lucien. With just one look, Heike can already see that his daughter is in an intimate relations.h.i.+p with that strange guy.

Whether it's the flushed expression on her face, her concerned look, the fact that their bodies are so close, or that she's holding the bottom of his s.h.i.+rt, it seems she likes him a lot.

And at that moment, seeing the return of the women he loves, his friend being attacked, and meeting Lucien, Heike feels more confused than ever. He feels many different emotions at the same time.

First, because of Jenson's situation, then joy at Daisy and Rose's safe return, then anger again. He is furious at that mysterious man who is apparently friends with that mysterious woman who destroyed part of his city.

Then they come to his house to attack his people. And the worst thing is not that Daisy brought them but the fact that Rose possibly has feelings for that guy.

[No... why would my little girl like a guy like that???] Heike is more disappointed by the possible closeness of Lucien and Rose than by the fact that his friend is about to get killed by Oya.

He didn't expect to have such a reaction, but he can't contain his paternal feelings. Heike wants what's best for his beloved daughter, and a guy like Lucien, at first, looks like anything but a loyal and loving husband.

Also, Heike can see many women around him, indicating a possible harem, which is not well regarded on the eastern continent.

The thing Heike wants most now is to get his little girl away from that devil and take her and Daisy away from that situation.

But he can't do that. He has to focus on the 'biggest' problem now. And so he tries to stay calm while solving that situation.

"Send the tiger back, boy." He speaks to Lucien in a neutral tone.

[Dad...] The affectionate way Rose called Heike echoes in Lucien's mind. For a second, he wonders if his children are going to call him that way or are going to be like him and his sisters, hating their father.

But this is not the time for such reflections as Lucien has a big problem. Part of him wants to kill Jenson because he can't accept anyone being hostile to his family.

But it's clear that Heike and Jenson are friends, and Lucien doesn't want to start his relations.h.i.+p with his father-in-law that way. So He is in doubt about how to act.

"Heike, right?" He ask in a friendly tone. "You see, even though that guy acted disrespectful to my sister, I still told him to back off. But he just refused my mercy."

"Mercy?" Heike asks sarcastically before pointing at Donna.

"This woman appeared out of nowhere along with other creatures and destroyed half of our city. Many of my people died that day, and she was the one who was hostile to us first! And now you come here to attack one of my people's main protectors?? That is not mercy!"

"Heike!" Daisy flies in front of her husband and quickly speaks in a soft tone. "You have no idea who they are. They saved Rose's life and mine… yes, I'm really healed thanks to him and his sister, so please show some respect and grat.i.tude."

"Healed???" Heike is confused again. He's happy, but at the same time, it's really bad not to understand what's going on.

"It's okay, mother-in-law…" Lucien speaks in a loving tone, but his words shock Heike, the other Lords, the King, and especially the young man beside him.

Lucien continues. "He has a right to be upset about his friend and people, but we still have to solve it."

"Preferably a way that it doesn't end with my friend's death." Heike comments.

'Hubby...' For the first time since that situation began, Rose speaks to Lucien mentally. 'Jenson is an a.s.shole and deserves to die... but just this once, I beg you, don't make things difficult for my dad.'

Lucien sighs and pats Rose's head, leaving Heike and the young man beside the King, really furious. Then he looks at Donna, and even though they don't say anything, she understands that he doesn't want to let the situation get out of hand.

Donna isn't particularly upset with Jenson for accusing her of destroying a part of his city, but she's still mad at all those Lords for being like the Silver Legion of her homeworld.

But as she doesn't want to make trouble for Lucien and his wives, Donna nods for him. Then Lucien nods to Heike. "I think an apology will be enough."

As soon as he speaks those words, Oya looks at him with a confused expression, actually a little sad too. She doesn't say anything, but the question "really?" it's evident in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, dear, but you're going to have to release this prey." He speaks in a relaxed way, but all those men are still very nervous.

Oya gets off Jenson, and blood runs from the holes in his chest, but he's alive, and he's fortunate for that. The tigress walks up to Lucien and sniffs his hand, clearly asking compensation for the unsatisfactory end of that situation.

He pats her head while looking at Jenson with a neutral expression. "I still haven't heard your apology."

"YOU!" Jenson is still too scared to have any other reaction, but Heike sees that as high disrespect and clenches his fists as he grows angrier at Lucien.

"Heike!!" But then King speaks in an authoritative tone. "That's enough! We all owe Lady Daisy too much, and if this boy helped her, we have to be grateful to him and not start conflict without any point."

[d.a.m.n!!!] Heike can't help but mentally curse. He doesn't like Lucien's arrogant att.i.tude at all, and he definitely doesn't think he's good for his daughter.

Daisy creates a stone bridge between the King's floating platform and the s.h.i.+p, so Heike walks over to her while trying to hug her. "My love, I missed you."

The vampire almost responds to Hike with an 'I missed you, too,' but her lips cannot p.r.o.nounce those words. Also, whether because of their awkward situation or something else, her body instinctively avoids his touch at that moment.

Heike instinctively feels something bad when he sees Daisy avoid his touch, but he thinks it's just due to the tension of the situation.

To avoid losing face in front of everyone, he avoids Daisy and walks towards Lucien, or rather his daughter. "Rose, my daughter, come here and hug your dad."

"Dad!! I missed you so much!" Rose doesn't hesitate to run and hug Heike.

Lucien can see that they really love each other. And that's a good thing; he wouldn't want all his wives to be angry at their fathers; that's definitely not the natural way of things.

Daisy looks at Lucien with a pleading expression as she floats Jenson back to the floating platform of the other Lords. She already expected that there would be a conflict between them as both Lucien and his sisters and the Lords of Camblea are very arrogant.

But she also wanted to see how he would react in such a situation and is glad he is willing to be so forgiving as not to hurt Rose.

While father and daughter have a moment together, The King walks across the bridge to the s.h.i.+p and bows respectfully to Daisy. "Lady Daisy, I'm glad we managed to put a peaceful end to it. Your... new friends are interesting."

Daisy smiles amiably. "Yeah, you're right, Elliot. And Heike's still so stubborn as ever."

As the King and Daisy talk friendly, the young man behind him walks towards Rose and Heike while smiling. "Rose!!"

The young prince actually is twenty-five years old, but he still looks very young, unlike Lucien, who, despite still being twenty, already looks... well, he looks different than any other man in all characteristics.

"Look, it's young Neal." Heike turns to the prince as he continues to hug Rose, making her turn to him as well.

But Rose doesn't seem happy to see her 'friend.' In fact, she met Neal when he was just a baby and played with him a lot back then. But after he reached a certain age, she stopped enjoying his company for several reasons.

And those reasons are even more significant now, so she steps back, returning to Lucien's side as she takes his hand and talks to her father. "This is Lucien, my husband."

It was already evident that Rose has a relations.h.i.+p with Lucien, but hearing her say it out loud still leaves Heike and Neal with sad expressions on their faces and a sour taste in their mouths.

The young prince looks like the lost dog and Heike Its owner.
