CHAPTER 83: LUCIEN IS MY MAN!

"Why are you here?"

Sera looked at Lilith, whose blue eyes were looking at her with just as much surprise as she was.

She never thought she would see this girl here, and it seemed she was also waiting for that guy, Lucien.

"That’s what I wanted to ask, too. Why are you here?"

Not only Sera, but even Lilith was surprised to see her eldest sister in this place.

She really had no idea Lucien knew this sister of hers who was famous for her bad temper.

’Interesting! Did Lucien even manage to lay his eyes on her?’

Lilith suddenly narrowed her eyes and faintly smiled, finding it interesting.

Honestly, she was quite impressed that Lucien even dared to lay his hand on this sister of hers, whom she rarely met.

Of course, she didn’t think Sera was also controlled by the skill Crimson Sigil.

After all, her phoenix bloodline was quite powerful. Not to mention, in raw power alone, Lucien was no match.

She was just curious why she was here, looking for Lucien like this, all alone.

"Didn’t I ask you first? Why are you asking me instead?"

Sera narrowed her eyes with a frown and looked at Lilith with cold eyes. She didn’t know why, but she felt that this girl had bad intentions towards Lucien.

"Girl, are you playing around again with that filthy skill of yours?"

She couldn’t help but suddenly get defensive, even though she had no relation whatsoever with Lucien.

She still knew something about Lilith’s skill and her abilities. To be honest, she also sympathized with this girl as she was similar to her. But, if she had laid her eyes on Lucien, then—

"Hmm?"

Lilith was surprised by Sera’s outburst and couldn’t help but look at her sister carefully.

Then, as if realizing something, she suddenly smiled like a blooming flower, amusement dancing in her eyes, and walked slowly toward Sera, while each sensual step accentuating every curve of her figure.

Honestly, while Sera looked gorgeous too, Lilith, with her infinite charm... looked... like the kind of woman men couldn’t take their eyes off of.

"So... what if I am?"

As soon as she was near, Lilith suddenly asked her softly. Why did she feel that Sera was actually trying to save Lucien from her?

"You..."

’So, she did know that guy and even...’

The more Lilith looked at Sera, the more she understood, and her face lit up without even realizing it. She suddenly thought she could have fun teasing this elder sister.

"Actually, you know I lost one of my subordinates during the class awakening. And I met this guy Lucien during that time."

Lilith suddenly explained softly, as if telling her story.

"He seems fine and quite strong. So, I thought, why not give him a chance to be my subordinate? It seems like a good idea. Don’t you think so, sister?"

Lilith asked at last with her innocent look full of charm, as if trying to get affirmation from her sister.

"No!"

But Sera denied outright without even thinking much. She even unconsciously released her fiery aura on Lilith, causing her to step back as she spoke in a cold voice,

"Don’t think I don’t know what kind of skill you have. Heh, subordinate? More like a male toy."

Sera said sharply, fixed her eyes on Lilith, and directly warned,

"I’m telling you. Don’t lay your filthy hand on Lucien. Otherwise, I might do something you won’t like."

Sera didn’t know why, but the idea of Lucien being Lilith’s subordinate or even close irked her.

They had only met last night, and even then, the situation had been one of life and death. But here she was, suddenly feeling defensive about Lucien.

In fact, she came here today to see Lucien, just to warn him not to disclose last night’s incident. Well, there might be some other reasons too, but that’s not the point.

"Oh? Why?"

Lilith saw Sera’s irritation and became even more amused. Now she was sure that there was something going on between her and Lucien.

That made her all the more eager to find out the truth behind their connection.

"Who is he to you?"

Lilith asked Sera, as if confused.

"If he is just an acquaintance, then you don’t need to worry. I just want him as my subordinate, and that’s all. I’m sure he will be happy to accept the offer of a princess."

Lilith slowly said, as if it was no big deal. She didn’t seem to mind Sera’s rude remark.

"So... I think this much is fine, right? Don’t worry, I won’t use my skills on him for your sake."

She said as if she really cared about her eldest sister’s words.

"No, there is no need for him to be your subordinate. He won’t like that. Just stay out of his way if you don’t want to have conflict with me."

Sera flatly declined Lilith, as she really didn’t want this seductive girl to be with Lucien. Although she knew that Lucien was very strong and had uncanny abilities, what if he was seduced by this vixen?

Just the thought of it made her sick. Now, before Lucien even arrived, she wanted to throw this girl out of this place.

’I must warn that guy not to come near this girl,’ Sera decided, not realizing the poor guy, Lucien, didn’t want to come near her either.

After all, who was masochistic enough to meet a girl who was trying to burn him alive for a random reason?

"Oh? Sister, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?"

Lilith feigned surprise at Sera’s threat, puckering her lips in protest.

"What do you mean he doesn’t want to? I haven’t even asked him yet."

She scrunched her beautiful nose in annoyance and glanced at Sera with her curious, deep blue eyes.

"And how do you know what he wants? Sister, tell me the truth. Who is Lucien to you? Why do I feel like you’re lying? Maybe... if you tell me the truth, I’ll leave him alone. What do you think?"

She proposed, leaving Sera completely stunned in her place.

Then, as if the pressure wasn’t enough, Lilith added,

"If he’s just someone you know, there’s no need to go this far for an outsider, is there? I just want him to join my team, and this might even be an opportunity for him. Why stop me?"

She reasoned logically, leaving Sera at a loss for words.

Honestly, if it were someone else, Sera wouldn’t care what happened to him. But for Lucien, her feelings were different.

After all, he was the only one with whom she shared such an intimate connection. Not to mention his warm hug... she already missed it.

She must be the easiest girl in the world to fall for a man in a single night. But she didn’t care.

"Sister?"

Lilith noticed Sera’s silence and asked again, but her smile was already that of teasing.

Poor Sera, she was so straightforward and honest, unlike Lilith. She didn’t even realize she was being played.

All she knew was that if she let Lilith get too close to Lucien, something bad might happen. After all, even she could feel Lilith’s charm was off the charts.

For any man, resisting Lilith’s power of lust would be nearly impossible.

So, in desperation, Sera made a decision, a decision to lie to Lilith.

’At least, she will leave him alone after this. And if she doesn’t, then—’

Her eyes went a little colder at that thought as she finally decided what to say to get rid of this sister of hers.

"Alright, I’ll tell you who he is, but you have to keep it a secret..."

Sera lifted her head, locked eyes with Lilith, and spoke coldly, catching her completely off guard.

"Lucien is... my man."

Her voice was low as if afraid that someone would hear it. But Lilith, who was right in front, heard her loud and clear.

"What?"

And that made Lilith completely lose her composure. She never thought that Sera would say something so outrageous to her out of the blue.

"Heh, so now do you understand? Lucien is my man. So, don’t put your filthy eyes on him and leave him alone."

Sera took a deep breath and once again warned, this time a little sternly. Now that she had decided to lie, she would lie to the end.

’Let’s throw this girl out before that guy comes. Otherwise, it will be bad.’

Sera felt a little ashamed. Honestly, even she was surprised at why she suddenly said such words. But nevertheless, seeing Lilith’s shocked, surprised face made her feel satisfied.

Still, she knew her lie would be exposed the moment Lucien arrived. So, Sera was about to ask Lilith to leave when, unfortunately for her, what she feared came true.

And it came right beside her ears in the familiar voice she had heard last night:

"Who is your man?"
