*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

While Lucien and Pride continue the second round of their fight, Eve faces Lucien's wives.

"So you are..." She doesn't hide a little hostility and arrogance in her eyes.

"His wives," Cassidy speaks in a respectful tone, but she does not appear to be intimidated by Eve.

Eve looks into Cassidy's eyes. "Very daring for a woman of your age to declare yourself the wife of my little brother, don't you?"

Before Cassidy answers Eve, Angela smiles. "I think you don't know about some of his... peculiar tastes."

"What do you mean?" Eve is confused. She was always at Lucien's side, and he never showed peculiar tastes, let alone any sexual desire.

Angela doesn't know how to explain to Eve that Lucien is clearly more attracted to older women, especially mothers.

Cassidy notices that and quickly changes the subject. "Ahem, I understand that sounds strange. I would be happy to just be Lucien's mother-in-law myself. But things have taken other directions... I don't regret being his wife now, or rather, I am honored, and I will never abandon him."

Eve looks Cassidy in the eye for a few seconds before nodding. "Good. If he took you as his wife, you must feel grateful. I raised him to be the best man possible. He will never let you suffer or mistreat you."

Lucien's wives still don't know what to think of Eve, but they certainly understand that she and Lucien have a deep connection, and of course, they want to know more about it and his past.

But before they can comment on anything, Eve makes a severe expression, actually scary and intimidating. "However, if any of you do something, or even think about doing something that can hurt him... you will not have good deaths by my hands."

"..." Lucien's wives don't know how to react to Eve's words, or rather, her brutal warning.

"..." Even Lucien, who despite fighting Pride, is aware of everything that happens around him, keeps silent. He would have killed most people who threaten his wives, but he respects his big sis too much to complain about her warning, which in fact has good intentions.

Mia steps in front of Cassidy and faces Eve. "You don't even have to mention that. We are all totally loyal to him, no matter what."

Eve takes a step towards Mia and looks her in the eye with her usual intimidating expression. "Well said, little girl. Keep this up, and we can get along."

She is still concerned about Lucien's relationships, but at least her first impression of the girls has been good. Yet, Eve wants to know everything about them, from how they met Lucien to their plans for the future beside him, to then judge whether she will have to intervene for his sake.

"I want to know more about each one of you. Let's talk while we watch the fight." Eve hugs Amelia again as she watches Lucien fight Pride.

The girls turn their attention to Lucien while Angela talks to Lena. "Go get Oya."

Lena doesn't think twice before creating a big ice bird and climbing on top of it.

"We are going with you." Anne, Astrid, and Scarlett also climb on Lena's ice bird. They already realized that the troops down there are people from the Alliance and want to get updated information about their homeland.

Ghilanna is also curious, mainly because she can see the emerald glow of elven armor among Eve's troops. However, she is not sure if she wants to get involved with her people anymore.

Lena's ice bird descends from the sky, surprising Eve's troops, and lands next to Oya, in the middle of a circle made by them.

The troop group, led by Elsie, is just watching Oya because she is behaving well as Lucien told her to do.

In fact, they are impressed by her tiger characteristics, which are very reminiscent of a moon tiger. And because she is a woman, they already have a predisposition to like her despite her supposedly being with the mysterious man in the sky.

But of course, until they receive new orders from Eve, her troops are on high guard.

As soon as they see Lena's big ice bird land next to Oya, Elsie prepares her sword while speaking in a firm tone. "Who are yo-"

But she loses her neutral posture as soon as she sees Anne's cute ears. "Cousin!!"

"Elsie!!" Anne jumps off the ice bird in front of Elsie, and both fox-girls hug each other tightly.

Eve's other troops are shocked, but Lucien's wives quickly notice some similarities between Anne and Elsie, which makes them have not to doubt that they are from the same family, even though they are cousins and not sisters.

"Long time, Anne. I missed you!" Elsie laughs while hugging Anne.

"Yeah, cousin. Missed you too, and uncle." Anne responds excitedly.

But then Elsie makes a curious expression. "Wait! Are you with that man's group?"

"That man?" Anne is confused but then sees Elsie aim at the sky and responds immediately. "Hubby? Ah, yes, we are together, of course."

"Hubby? Do you mean he is your husband?" Elsie asks in a concerned tone.

Anne can't hide the sparkle in her eyes as she looks at Lucien and answers Elsie proudly. "Yes, he does."

Elsie doesn't know how to react. "Uncle is going to be furious. You are so young, but you are with him, who is... which kind of demi-human is him?"

Anne gets confused because not even Lucien is sure what he is. "It is complicated. However, that doesn't matter because he is the best man of all."

Elsie still looks concerned. "You must be in love and don't see that it was a bad decision. It's not a time for men at our home, or rather, in this whole world. Queen Eve seems to hate all men."

Anne laughs as she remembers how Eve said she would kill them if they hurt her beloved little brother.

Scarlett can't resist asking a question. "Hmm... So, is the Alliance divided?"

Elsie makes a sad expression when she sees Scarlett's racial characteristics. Obviously, there is the possibility that she is the daughter of a werewolf woman and a fox-man, but most of the time, hybrids of their races are generated by fox-women raped by werewolves.

She speaks in a proud tone. "No, sister. Queen Eve united all the clans under the same flag and punished the werewolf clan for all their crimes. The women of our people will never again be raped or abused under her leadership."

"How is the actual situation of the werewolf clan now?" Scarlett ignores Elsie's sorry expression and asks, concerned for her brother.

Elsie quickly responds. "The werewolves-women who agreed to follow Eve's leadership were not killed but punished with less honorable positions while the men were killed or made up of slaves."

"I see." Scarlett wants to ask more questions, but she knows that now is not the best time.

But Astrid does not resist asking the same question, but about her enemies. "What about the manticore-clan? Did they have the same end? Is Lanzo still alive?"

Elsie is also sorry that Astrid is a hybrid, which seems to be between manticore and human? [What a peculiar group...]

She nods. "Yes, the manticore clan had the same punishment. Lanzo, as well as Rein, still lives, being tortured and humiliated by their victims daily with their families. Queen Eve is brutal to her enemies."

[Just as hubby... she is truly his sister.] Lucien's wives can't help thinking the same thing about Elsie's comment.

Astrid smiles as she thinks about how she'll get her revenge by torturing Lanzo, alongside Olivia, of course.

"Well, we have to go back now," Anne speaks while she is hesitant to leave Elsie's side. She really wants to talk to her cousin about her adventures, and of course, to brag about her new power and how amazing her husband is. Still, she wants to stay with her group until Lucien, Eve, and Pride reach an agreement.

Elsie nods. "I understand. We also have to keep our formation until we receive new orders from our Queen. But I hope we can talk more soon."

Anne walks towards Lena's ice bird while taking Oya's hand and talking to Elsie. "I'm sure we will be able to talk a lot very soon. Then I will introduce you to my new sisters, including Oya, who is a real moon tiger."

"So is she really a moon tiger?!" Elsie looks at Oya with a surprised and admiring expression, just like the other troops around them.

A part of them is very happy that they did not have to fight; after all, everyone in the Alliance has a lot of respect for the moon tiger, let alone the first one who got a demi-human body. Oya is already a legend among the people who are seeing her.

The girls climb on the ice bird, and Lena prepares to fly back to their group, but then…

A blast of light makes everyone cover their eyes while blinding them momentarily, followed by an incredible force that pushes everything in the opposite direction of Lucien and Pride.

*BOOOOOOM*

The incredibly powerful wave of force hits everything in a radius greater than a mile from Its center, but it does not harm the girls, just pushing them back.

Of course, the blast of light has a different effect on people closer to Its center.

Eve and the other girls nearest to Lucien and Pride would have suffered some damage had it not been for Lust and Envy's quick action, creating a demonic energy barrier in front of Angela's floating platform, blocking the wave of force and also lessening the blinding effects of that bright light.

"Lucien!!!!!" All of Lucien's wives and Eve exclaim together as they see Lucien and Pride disappear inside the light blast.

Lucien is shocked by Pride's action. As she forces his head down, he can see the bright light reflecting on the trees and even on the ground while the wave of force knocks down trees and throws people on the ground.

However, he feels no damage, while Pride uses her own light to block that other light, which is clearly an attack.

Still, Lucien can't help but be worried, not about himself, who is in the middle of that attack but with his wives. He quickly sends the same mental message to all of them. 'Is everyone alright?!'

'Yes. What about you?!?' Lucien's wives answer with different words but with the same meaning.

Lucien doesn't know how to answer that question. He only feels Pride's powerful aura around his body.

"Pride?" He asks.

"Get ready for the impact." Pride says.

"Impact-" Lucien is confused for less than a second before he feels his body being pushed down.

*BOOOOOM*

Another blast of light hits Pride's light shield, launching her and Lucien toward the ground.

As they fall, Pride keeps her hand up and her shield of light protecting her and Lucien. Although she could just dematerialize her body, returning to Eve's souls, away from that attack, she fears it may be too much for him to take. She clearly does not know the limits of his regeneration.

Pushed by the wave of force from the blast of light, Lucien and Pride quickly hit the ground before breaking several trees and creating a large crater with their bodies.

*BOOOOOOOOM!!!*

The impact breaks several parts of Pride's body, but she quickly begins to regenerate with her demonic energy.

Lucien also suffered several injuries with the brutal impact, but his body quickly regenerates, contrary to his armor, which was already damaged before that fall.

"Who the hell attacked us?" As that light disappears, Lucien can't help asking Pride, at his side.

Pride looks to the side and realizes that although her arm is still around Lucien's neck, she does not feel disgusted by him.

"Does it really matters?" She asks with a sarcastic tone and an arrogant smile.

Lucien looks at Pride and finds her smile very familiar. "Your right. Let's make them regret being born!"

"Hell yeah! We need to do that! And we can finish our fight later." Pride responds and flies up the sky.

Lucien cannot contain his excitement as he flaps his wings hard and flies after Pride towards the unfortunate persons who attacked them.
