Marie is smart enough to know that with Lucien's boost, her maximum mana and mana regeneration would be greater for a while.
But how could she ask for it in front of her mother and sister? So she used mental communication with him.
Although the girls who had no s.e.x with Lucien yet had not good control of the mental communication, they were still able to use it with a short distance.
'Lucien... I ... I want...' Even using mental communication, Marie was embarrassed. But Lucien understood and spoke to calm her down.
'It's fine, Marie. A few kisses will be enough to improve your mana for some hours.'
Marie smiled sheepishly. She loved how caring Lucien is and understand her. She couldn't believe she thought so badly of him when they first met.
Of course, she still thought he was wrong about some things. She couldn't agree with his brutal way of acting, but she also knew that he has an incredibly gentle and caring side.
Lucien looked at his women with a teasing smile that made them wet. "Well, now that we've settled our action plan, the girls and I are going to get ready."
Olivia made a face as it was not very difficult to imagine what kind of things they would do. She left the living room, but Lena did not want to go because she is very interested in "get ready" with them.
Lucien had no problem giving kisses to all the girls. In fact, he also didn't mind giving his essence.
Of course, for the girls, that kind of thing is quite significant as it creates a romantic bond with him.
Then Lucien went up to his room with the girl troop. Even Aria and Ella, who, despite having started combat training, would not yet go on this adventure, went to the room to receive the "boost."
They used the large bathroom to take a bath and receive a lot of special milk as well as kisses and touches.
Olivia and Scarlett could only stay on the bed and listen to the e.r.o.t.i.c sounds.
They received breakfast from Kara and would also receive new bedrooms. Of course, they couldn't leave the castle, and Cassidy would keep an eye on them as well as Ron's spies.
After almost two hours, Lucien's group was prepared enough. They went down the stairs and met Angela, waiting for them in the hall.
"Everyone is ready and waiting for your order." Angela had no aversion to following Lucien's orders on this matter. After all, it is his plan, so she and her people were only receiving the benefits.
"Okay, so let's go." Lucien looked toward the kitchen, and the cute tigresses came running. They spent all the time near the food, and the servants love to pamper them.
*Meow*
Ko jumped into Lucien's arms, and he started patting on her head. "Little Ko, you are growing up fast, but you are not yet ready for adventures."
*Meow* *Meow*
*Roar*
Ko tried to contest with her cute meows, but Oya made it clear that she had to stay. Oya could feel Lucien's love for them, and it is more than she could ask for from a master.
Cassidy also came to give Lucien some goodbye kisses, so he passed little Ko into her arms. Everyone loves the cute tigresses.
Following Lucien's orders, the groups of mages, adventurers, and mercenaries, hired by Ron and Angela, began their journey to the west border.
Ron organized everything so that people who could recognize Lucien would go in different directions than his.
In each group, there were wizards or mages, warriors, royal guards, and at least one of Ron's spies to lead.
Some groups used horses, and others just ran. The city was very busy because everyone knew about the event that would make Bluewind safer.
As the western border is quite large, the groups went in several directions. Lucien would go to the border, but he would not stay with the mages but would enter the vast forest to find the bandits leaders.
Astrid group up with Maggie, and they went to the area designed to them to create the golems. Marie, Lena, Anne, and some royal guards were in a carriage for another area.
Ron selected the most trusted royal guards and ordered his spies to be very careful with Lucien's women. Any disrespect could have serious consequences.
Some guards also followed Rose and Mia. Rose is already an incredibly powerful mage, almost in the mortal realm, just like Lucien.
Mia is still very young, but her progress only increases. After the night of passionate love with Lucien, her strength and speed are improving very fast.
Like Cassidy, Mia is also developing wind mana. But as they are not wizards, Lucien, who was warned about that by L.u.s.t, wanted to wait more before talking to them about it.
So they could try to understand the wind skill he used in the battle between the adventurers and mercenaries.
With that combination of groups, Lucien would go to the forest with L.u.s.t, Ghilanna, and Oya. Although his group is small, L.u.s.t is already able to fight at Cassidy's level, which made them a powerful force.
Cassidy would stay at the castle, training Aria and Ella. Jeanne would also stay and try to convince her nephew, Mason, to be more cooperative with Lucien.
Lucien said goodbye to the girls and prepared to carry Ghilanna on his back, so he could run at high speed with Oya, but then Angela called him.
"Lucien. I know you are very fast, but I would still like to invite you to come with me. My carriage has very fast horses, so the time difference won't be extremely big."
It was still early in the morning, and Lucien was not really hurried, so he accepted Angela's invitation, and entered into her elegant royal carriage.
Angela is a very talented wizard and the Queen, but she only took less than ten royal guards, leaving most of them to defend Marie, Lena, and the other groups.
While one of her guards conducted the carriage, others followed them on the fastest horses of the kingdom, and inside the big carriage are only Lucien, L.u.s.t, Angela, Ghilanna, and Oya.
Ghilanna sat next to Angela while Oya and L.u.s.t sat around Lucien, and he stroked them, creating a strange mood.
Oya was behaving while Lucien patted her on the head, but L.u.s.t ran her hand over Lucien's body, making Ghilanna jealous, and Angela embarrassed.
Angela tried to start a conversation to distract herself and not to gaze at that…
"So... Lucien... How many golems do you think Rose can do? She looks like a very powerful mage."
Lucien couldn't help but smile. "My Rose is really fantastic. I'm sure she can make at least ten, but I think she will force herself to do more and then ask me for extra rewards."
"Ten?! You must be mistaken. I will only be able to make two even with the mana potions." Angela trusted Lucien a lot, but she thought he is overestimating his wife.
It was not Lucien who answered, but L.u.s.t, with a teasing tone.
"After the boost that Lucien gave the girls, even Marie and Lena will be able to make at least four golems. Rose still had the benefit of the blood, so ten is easy for her."
It seemed unbelievable that a single mage could conjure ten of those complex golems, but there was no reason for Lucien and L.u.s.t to lie.
Angela also noticed that L.u.s.t said Marie and Lena. She remembered the things that Marie talked about feeling much more powerful after kissing and drinking Lucien's "essence."
"Lucien, what do you do to Lena? You must know about the rivalry she has with Marie. I don't think it's right for her to be with you."
Lucien spoke sincerely. "I just kissed her. I know they don't get along so well, but I won't deny affection to her just for that. Also, I think I can make them get along."
Before Angela could answer, Lucien continued. "Also you, Angela. We can all be together as a family, not necessarily in a romantic way."
Angela made a strange expression, which seemed both happy and disappointed. "I already told you not to have these ideas. Do you already have my youngest daughter, but you also want the oldest and me?"
"I don't collect women to warm my bed. I just want to get my family together... And I wouldn't mind making it bigger with you and Lena." Lucien didn't speak anymore, and everyone was silent.
Angela understood his point of view. She liked Lucien more and more for treating Marie as his family, but she wasn't sure if she and Lena could really have a place with them.
She thought she had upset Lucien and was about to apologize when he started talking again, in a friendly tone.
"You may not consider me as family yet, but we are allies. And allies cooperate to reach their goals together…"
Angela was a little confused, but Lucien quickly explained his point.
"We are doing this to make Bluewind safer... More golems will generate more security on the border... More mana will generate more golems…"
The mature Queen cannot help blushing like an inexperienced young girl. "You... Do you mean? You... I... We? Ki..."
Lucien raised his arms as if he were defending himself.
"It's all fine, Angela. I just said it because it can help you cast twice as many golems. But if some kisses are too much for you, it can't be helped."
L.u.s.t and Ghilanna cannot help but laugh at the blushing Queen. Despite being a mature woman, she was embarrassed for just thinking about some kisses.
Angela saw the girls laughing and got very angry. Of course, she was still embarrassed, which made even Lucien want to laugh at her cute expressions.
"I... I can handle it! Some k-kisses are nothing to me... But... How many kisses would it take?"
Lucien made a thoughtful expression. "As many as you want. I will not force you into anything. Don't worry. I don't have bad breath... I guess."
Before Lucien finishes saying "guess," L.u.s.t and Ghilanna exclaimed together. "Definitely not!!!"
Then Lucien smiled, making Ghilanne and L.u.s.t start laughing again.
Angela was still embarrassed, but their happy mood made her more comfortable. After living so many years in depression, she needed some happiness.
She heard countless times from Marie about how good it was to kiss Lucien. Angela feared to fall in love with him, which would be very weird because he is already her son-in-law.
Still, being able to make twice as many golems would mean more security for her people.
Could she really deny security to farmers and simple people just because she didn't want to kiss the most handsome man she had ever seen?
Angela gathered all the courage she has and spoke in a shy tone. "So... So, I accept... But... Just a few kisses... Don't tease me!!"
Lucien stopped laughing and switched places with Ghilanna, standing next to Angela. She becomes even more embarrassed and looked to the side, trying to look away from him.
"Marie is stubborn. Lena is bold. But is their mother shy? I wouldn't have guessed without seeing your cute expressions, mother-in-law." Lucien can't help but tease her.
"I told you not to me tea-" Angela quickly turned to Lucien, trying to scold him. But her mouth was sealed with her first kiss.
She tried to back away, but Lucien pressed her body with his, held her head, and kissed those sweet and soft lips.
Lucien's pleasant scent made Angela calm down, and she couldn't help but be surprised by the wonderful taste of his lips.
He gently held her chin and started giving tap kisses on her lips until she becomes more comfortable. Then he invaded her mouth with his dominant tongue.
If the taste of Lucien's lips could be described as fantastic, the taste of his saliva is divine. Angela tried to keep her mind focused on the goal. Still, she couldn't help but enjoy it.
Angela's tongue was quickly dominated by Lucien, who made a mess in her mouth. An extremely pleasurable mess and Angela didn't mind if it lasted too long.
"Mm…" Angela didn't notice when she started to make light m.o.a.ns. But L.u.s.t and Ghilanna realized that, and they can't help but be jealous.
The smart elven archer commented. "You know... I also use mana in my arrows... Just saying…"
