186 Lively Morning (1/2)
The night passed smoothly as Scarlett and Olivia gained more and more control over their groups.
In the purple world, with the time dilation giving Lucien and his wives more time, training continued nonstopping.
After all, with that kind of pleasurable training, the girls didn't need any breaks. Becoming stronger from making love with their beloved husband?
They felt like they were dreaming, and they did not want to wake up from that dream.
--------------------
Bluewind castle, 10:00 am.
Rebecca entered the castle hall looking for Lucien. She was very dirty with charcoal dust all over her body, the results of spending the night working at the forge.
Her assistants worked hard while following her instructions, but she worked harder as she knew that Lucien's troops needed the armor sets to fight.
As soon as she finished fixing all of the armor from the Light Empire soldiers, Rebecca went to give Lucien the good news.
But she didn't find him in his training courtyard, so she went to the castle hall.
Ron came down the stairs while greeting Rebecca amicably. ”Good Morning, my lady.”
Rebecca looked at Ron with a sad expression. ”He left the city, right?”
Ron understood that Rebecca was talking about Lucien, but before he could answer, she started talking to herself.
”I should have known he wasn't going to wait for my answer.” She started pacing.
”He's not the type of man who waits for a woman... The women go after him...”
Then she looked at Ron with a confused expression. ”What should I do? Should I go to Portgreen even though the city is in chaos? Should I go after a man who already has many wives?”
Ron didn't know if Rebecca really wanted his advice, but he couldn't resist speaking. ”Whatever your decision is, you must think carefully, so you don't regret it later.”
”So I shouldn't go? Yes... After all, he is so lascivious... He only thinks about sex... Even with all those women...” Rebecca thought out loud.
Ron understood Lucien's personality, but he wouldn't want to hear someone talking negatively about his friend.
”He's not a pervert. He and his wives love each other, and... well, they do a lot of lewd things because that makes them strong...”
Rebecca realized that Ron got her comment wrong. ”I'm not saying he's a pervert. But it's still hard to be a woman and be around him...”
Ron sighed. ”And I bet it will only get more difficult with time. He is a big magnet that will attract a lot of women near him wherever he goes, so it will be increasingly more difficult to get close to him.”
”So are you saying that I have to take advantage now that there aren't that many women next to him? Should I follow him?” Rebecca didn't know what to do.
”Ah, yes. So his male troops are still waiting for the armor sets...” Rebecca made a thoughtful expression.
Her ambitions are about improving her skills as a blacksmith and creating equipment that would be remembered in history as legendary.
But she needs powerful warriors to use the equipment and the best possible materials to create them. Lucien seemed to be able to help her with these two points.
Plus, everything seems more interesting around him, even though he is someone ”peculiar.”
Rebecca sighed, imagining that Portgreen didn't seem like a peaceful place right now, but in fact, Lucien seemed like the type of person who would always be in hostile situations.
And that was one more reason why she could use her skills as a blacksmith to the fullest.
”I'm going with them,” Rebecca spoke in a determined tone.
Ron shook his head as he thought out loud. ”I suppose you are one more for him to take care of... Poor guy.”
”What?” Rebeca made a face.
”Nothing, nothing. Well, do you know you'll be traveling with six hundred men? Only male soldiers.” Ron responded.
Rebecca made a confused expression. ”What do you mean? Do you think they'll be rude to me?”
Ron shook his head. ”Not on purpose, but they are men, so maybe you won't feel so comfortable traveling alone with them.”
Then he quickly continued. ”Well, you could avoid any trouble by saying that you are Lucien's woman. That way, they wouldn't even dare look at you and would treat you like a queen.”
Rebecca blushed a little when Ron talked about her being Lucien's woman, but then she quickly made an upset expression.
”No! I won't give him that pleasure. After that, how would I look at him? No, no way. I would never say something like that!!”
Ron sighed. ”But aren't you going after him? Isn't being his wife your goal?”
Rebecca shook her head. ”No, fuck! Not like that... I could give him a chance... But he would have to court me for a long time! He has to want me, I shouldn't have to pursue him.”
Ron was already getting a headache, trying to understand Rebecca. ”Okay, okay, my lady. I'm going to talk to Alden, so they will treat you really well, and you won't have to say anything.”
”Yes, that is acceptable. Tell him to send someone to get the armor sets from my workshop. I will prepare my stuff for the journey.” Rebecca turned to leave the castle.
”Wait,” Ron called Rebecca, but he was already regretting what he was going to talk about.
Rebecca looked at him with an inquisitive expression. ”What is it about, old man?”
Ron was upset that she called him an old man. Still, he wanted to help her, or rather, help Lucien.
”Well... My lady, I know you have... Uhmm... Your ways. But, I suggest that when you are around Lucien, you should be in a better state.”
Rebecca blushed with anger. ”You... stupid old man!! What do you mean?!!!?”
Ron raised his hands. ”I don't want to offend you, my lady. It's just that... Lucien has a very sensitive nose, so that could be a disadvantage for you.”
Rebecca wanted to be mad at Ron, but she knew he was right, and she couldn't help being embarrassed.
”I... I... That's because I was working hard at the forge for him. I smell really good, usually!!”
Then she turned again and headed for the castle exit. But before leaving, she spoke softly. ”T-thanks for the advice.”
