Chapter 132 - 132: Lilith Is Betrayed
"You are here? Where did you go for so long?"
As soon as Lucien arrived at his home, intending to go directly to the training room to test his newly awakened physique, he was stopped by someone's voice.
"Hmm? What are you doing here?"
And when he turned to look, he found that it was his mother Seraphine, who was relaxing on a chair, looking at the sun setting on the horizon all alone.
"Tch...boy, you cannot prefer one more than another. It is how the home gets destroyed. Can't you give equal time to everyone?"
Seraphine didn't answer him, though, but looked at Lucien's tall figure from head to toe while complaining a little.
She thought Lucien was busy with Sera all this time, totally neglecting Lilith, her younger sister.
She had been in Lucien's mansion for so long already, and he was returning just now. Of course, she was mad.
This child of hers didn't know how to manage his harem and didn't know how jealousy could lead to fire.
"What do you mean?"
Unfortunately, Lucien didn't understand her at all. After all, he left Sera's side long ago and even had a dangerous adventure.
"Forget what I mean, but why do I feel like...you have changed so much in a day?"
Seeing Lucien clueless, Seraphine didn't want to elaborate as she came near Lucien before grabbing his arms, feeling his strong muscles that weren't there before.
She was his mother after all. Even though Lucien was wearing baggy clothes, his increased height and toned body didn't escape Seraphine's sight at all.
"Whoa...you have become more handsome?"
Seraphine said in surprise, then placed her hands on Lucien's chest, feeling him up.
"So big..."
She couldn't help but blurt out after feeling his strong muscles in his tall frame. Now that she was near him, she was 100% sure that her son's physique had changed suddenly.
It had become taller, stronger, and mature.
"Cough... Mom, aren't you a little too much?"
Lucien saw Seraphine's hand roaming his chest and couldn't help but stop her speechless.
Not to mention her words just now. Although he knew his mom didn't mean it the way he thought, he still got awkward regardless.
"Tch...what is too much? You are my son. Can't I even touch you?"
Seraphine rolled her eyes at her son, being so ashamed of his own mother.
Can't she, as a mother, even appreciate her son without getting negatively judged?
"But...seriously. What happened to you? You weren't like this before."
Seeing that Lucien was feeling awkward, Seraphine let go of him and asked.
Because she didn't know why, she felt that her son's charm had shot through the roof all of a sudden.
Even she, as a mother, was attracted to his figure, let alone those little girls now.
'It seems he might bring a lot of daughters-in-law like this.'
She thought when she heard Lucien's explanation,
"Oh, that's because I had some adventure today and managed to awaken a physique. This change is all because of that."
Lucien smiled and answered. Although he didn't know clearly how much he had changed, from how his mother reacted, it seemed he had become more handsome.
'Well, it is Dragon King's Physique after all.'
He thought finding it was reasonable. After all, his charm value was at 68 points now without even activating his Enchanter Class.
"Adventure? Awakening Physique? Weren't you with Sera all this time?"
Seraphine was stunned by his words and asked. All this time, she thought he was with Sera. But it seemed this wasn't the case.
"Sera? She left shortly after. Why will I be with her?"
Lucien heard her words and asked, finally understanding what his mom was blabbering all about.
"Okay, don't think of these things that aren't important."
So, he rolled his eyes, waved his hand to put this topic down, and asked instead,
"I heard you took Lilith with you in the morning? Where did you take her?"
He was genuinely curious.
"And what are you doing here all alone? Do you have something to ask of me?"
After all, he didn't remember his mother coming alone to his mansion before. It was quite odd, to be honest.
"Who said I am alone?"
However, to his surprise, his mother suddenly smiled a little slyly after hearing his query as if hiding something from him.
"Then who-"
"Miss, is this...enough?"
Just when Lucien was about to ask, he heard a soft voice from behind Seraphine, followed by the appearance of a tall girl.
Only, when Lucien looked at the girl and realized who it was, he was so shocked that he blurted out her name unconsciously,
"Lilith?"
His shock wasn't because he saw the third princess here with his mother inside his mansion.
Rather, it had to do with her attire and her makeup that made her look completely different.
He saw Lilith's long black hair braided into a soft crown around her head, leaving the pale line of her neck exposed in a way that seemed seductive.
A few loose strands brushed her face, drawing attention to her long lashes that were clearly done recently, while the innocence in her eyes, the curve of her red lips, and the delicate blush made her beauty impossible to ignore.
Not to mention the dress she was wearing, a dark silk gown that fit gently at the top before falling in soft layers that moved with each step.
It drew in neatly at her waist, while the faint shimmer at her sleeves made her look graceful in a way that was hard to forget.
While Lilith was more seductive with her usual expressive clothing before, with the modest dress and the light makeup of a normal noble lady, she now looked even more so.
Lucien finally understood what it meant that sometimes hiding what's usually shown makes desire burn brighter, as he found himself completely drawn in.
"Lucien?"
While Lucien was shocked by Lilith's new look, she, on the other hand, finally noticed there was someone beside Seraphine in this room.
Due to her power being sealed, she couldn't use her mental power properly and hence didn't know there was someone.
Not to mention, Seraphine clearly said this was her private mansion, and nobody would come.
That's why she appeared here without a guard after wearing the dress chosen by Serapine for her.
To be honest, she also liked the way she looked in this dress and spent a little more time looking at herself.
But never thought that at that interval, Lucien would come here unexpectedly and find her in such an embarrassing position.
"W-what are y-you doing here?"
She was so ashamed that she didn't know what to do at all and stammered, feeling uncomfortable by Lucien's hot gaze.
Lilith didn't realize she was currently expressing emotions she didn't have before.
After all, she already shared a far more intimate moment with Lucien, and there was really no need to feel ashamed.
Not to mention, her usual look was already far more seductive than this.
Just, maybe because she was now powerless, or maybe she was being trained miserably by Seraphine all day long, she was quite sensitive.
The last thing she wanted right now was someone seeing her in this state, and now that person had to be Lucien.
She was fucked, literally.
"Whoa...so beautiful. See? Didn't I say this style would suit you more? Lucien, doesn't she look better?"
Seraphine asked while coming close to Lilith and circling around. She acted as if she didn't see the gaffe of both her son and daughter-in-law.
She was having her own sneaky enjoyment, as evidenced by her bright yet sly smile that was hardly hidden.
"Yeah, she looks better."
Lucien heard his mother and answered subconsciously before gaining his senses.
Then, seeing Lilith blush like a little girl, he raised his eyebrow and asked,
"Mom, what is she doing in my mansion?"
To be honest, although he was shocked, he was more confused. After all, according to the nature of Lilith, she wasn't some shy little girl like he was seeing right now.
He felt that something fishy was going on here.
"You mansion? Didn't you say...it is your private place?"
Sure enough, when he said those words, Lilith was visibly confused and looked at Seraphine questioningly.
Now she felt that she had been duped from the beginning.
"Cough...did I say that? Why don't I remember?"
Seraphine saw a questioning look on Lilith and coughed to ease her embarrassment.
Then, without giving her a chance to react, she lightly said,
"Okay, Lilith, I think it is enough for today. Like I said, I will now leave you two alone. You can choose any place here to spend the night tonight and leave tomorrow. I will take my leave."
After saying that, she directly tried to leave, leaving Liltih completely panicked.
"Hey, what do you mean? This wasn't what we discussed."
How could she spend a night here with Lucien, especially with her power still sealed?
Feeling the situation turn for the worse, Lilith tried to stop Seraphine but failed miserably.
"What? What are you doing seriously?"
Lucien, on the other hand, was completely confused by their drama. He didn't know anything about Lilith's power being sealed by his mother after all.
"Tch...I am paving you a path for your success, idiot."
Seraphine saw his stunned look and cursed lightly before coming near and handing him something in his hand.
"Lilith's power is sealed by me. This girl is a little crazy, you see. Make sure to tame her tonight so she will behave later. Good luck."
She whispered so that only he could hear, patting her son's shoulder with an encouraging look, completely ignoring Lilith's plea behind and disappearing right after.
She didn't even let Lucien react before only he and Lilith were alone inside a massive mansion.
