196 After Battle (1/2)

Although Lucien had no ambitions to lead, he knew that he would often need to do this in order ​to keep ​everything​ going​ smoothly.

Also, he knows that as Cassidy's husband, he has the responsibility to help her manage Portgreen until they can return to his world to rescue his mother.

Lucien was already thinking about what to do to put the city in order and also how to keep things well even after they are gone.

Ron was the best choice for that. Lucien trusted the loyal spymaster a lot and wanted to bring him from Bluewind to be a general administrator for Portgreen in the main city.

Also, Alden and Lucien's male troops could serve well as his representatives elsewhere. Well, that would be the best they could do as this battle showed that Lucien could not count on them to follow ​his​ and his female troops ​pace​.

Well, now it wasn't ​the ​time to think much about the future, but ​to ​focus on the present. Lucien needed to continue with ​helping​ Cassidy reclaim her ​ ​throne.

Lucien looked at the mercenaries, adventurers, and common people as he used his demonic energy to amplify his voice.

”Everyone can get up. From now on, there ​isn't a​ Guild or mercenary groups ​anymore​. You all obey Cassidy and me.”

Olivia and Scarlett didn't need to prove anything to Lucien, but they still choose to bow to him while speaking loudly and respectfully. ”Yes, hubby.”

After seeing Olivia and Scarlett fighting alongside Lucien's group, everyone understood how the situation ended that way, and now hearing them call him husband was confirmation to the mercenaries and adventurers that their leaders were already following Lucien's orders.

The mercenaries were confident that Scarlett would not lead them ​into​ a bad situation, and as she seemed very happy with Lucien, they had nothing against this change in the general leadership.

The common people were happy that Cassidy was alive, and now she looked even more powerful than before. Many already believed that she and Lucien were on the same level as her father, the Sage King.

The adventurers, however, still had anger in their looks, along with fear of Lucien and Cassidy. But they couldn't do anything. Again, Lucien would only let them live if they accept the black mark.

Lucien approached Olivia. ”I will continue with Cassidy and the others. Can you take care of the adventurers?”

Olivia instinctively moved closer to Lucien until their bodies were glued together, so she started to caress his chest. ”As you wish, hubby…”

Lucien smiled, seeing Olivia's pleading look. He ​couldn't​ help but kiss her again.

”Order them to clean up this mess, deal with the bodies, and then keep them in Guild buildings.

Note the name of everyone who will need the black mark.”

Olivia nodded while sniffing Lucien's chest. ”You should visit the L secret group later, as they are probably more loyal to you than to me. About the other adventurers, I will note the name of everyone that demonstrates ​any​ sign of wanting to create problems.”

Lucien knew that he didn't need to worry about this issue since Olivia now thinks first about the good of their family.

”Yes, do it. Even though there are a lot of people who will need the black mark, we now have five mages in the Mortal Realm, so it won't be too difficult.”

Then he looked at Marie and Lena, who, like everyone else, ​are​ exhausted. ”Even though the battle was short​ , it was very intense. We are going to resolve this black mark issue in two days.​ Right ​now the girls need a good rest.”

Olivia nodded again. ”Mm. I will get everything ready. Also, I will resolve any other issues with the adventurers and let you know about ​anything​ crucial.”

She gave Lucien one more kiss and went towards the adventurers, but he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight. ”I'm glad you're with me.”

”I'm glad too. You are the best thing that ​has ​happened to me.” Olivia hugged Lucien very tightly before going to lead the adventurers to clear the battlefield.

She wanted to stay by his side all the time, but keeping the adventurers in order was also good since she felt like she was doing something that only she could do for Lucien.

While Olivia went to deal with the adventurers, Lucien approached Scarlett. She hugged him too. All his wives love his touch and are always wanting more of it.

”You surprised me by making almost all the mercenaries retreat under your command.” Lucien couldn't​ help but praise her.

Scarlett smiled as she kissed Lucien. ”I am amazing, you know.”

Lucien laughed. ”Yes, you are fantastic, my dear. Now I need you to keep them in order. Although

Cassidy and I are the leaders, you will continue to pass on my orders to them for now.”

”Mmmm...” Scarlett moaned as Lucien stroked her ass. ”I want to be at your side, hubby.”

He kissed her cute ears. ”We will all be together at night at home. Now Cassidy and I have a lot to do. We all have tasks to do, and... you know I will reward you later.”

Scarlett wanted to keep acting spoiled, but she knew they had a lot to do to get Portgreen in order, so she kissed Lucien passionately. ”Okay, see you at home then. I love you, hubby.”

Then ​Scarlett went to lead the mercenaries back to the northern area of ​the city. After the last week, Ivan and his group did a lot of damage to​ the mercenary properties, so they had a lot to​ rebuild, now under new leadership.

Lucien went towards Mia, Aria, and Ella. Because of their connection, he knew everything that happened to the girls during the battle.

The girls were still hugging each other, so Lucien joined in the hug together. ”Ella, you are a very strong girl. I'm proud of you.”

He didn't need to ask how Ella felt because he could feel it. She was a little shaken ​from​ killing people, but her determination was stronger than ever as she knew that fighting for her family is right.
