Chapter 115 Chater 37: I Will Support You
Gwendolyn and Lucifer finally returned from the long meeting to decide the plans of their allied factions, but it was far too slow and difficult due to each one having vested interests and wanting profits for each action.
It was so annoying—each of them just wanted to get a profit, which is fine, but the lengths to get that profit and causing Gwen to be disadvantaged... annoying bastards!
In the end, it was called off for tomorrow due to two lords seeking the princess to take her place before they take action, which would be difficult in the current situation due to the demi-goddess Celestina having a strong grip on the capital's church and her father currently being sick.
I refuse to send her to a death trap... to be poisoned or assassinated by dark deeds.
Walking down the dark, candle-lit hallways, Lucifer was brooding about how to help support Gwendolyn, who seemed exhausted as they walked along the dark purple carpet and past the various paintings of past heroes who fought for the people at this very fort.
"Gwen, are you hungry?" He asked with a gentle voice as their hands were clasped together, her fingers stroking his as if it helped relax her mind.
"Mmm... I wouldn't mind your blood, but food... I don't have the stomach for it right now."
"I see—that meeting was really long and tiresome... shall we head to my room and relax, or find a nice open balcony and enjoy the cool breeze?" Lucifer suggested as Gwen chuckled before looking around, seeing no maids or knights...
"Let's visit your room; Irina and Marina will be waiting and likely hungry for attention."
Both Lucifer and Gwen laughed—knowing the pair was tired from the meeting as he placed his arm over her shoulders, the tall blonde princess resting against him as they walked upstairs.
Finally, the two arrived at Lucifer's room only to find a note written by Sylvia saying she had taken the other girls to get something to eat and they would be staying in another room tonight...
"It seems your sister has a good sense of mind," Lucifer smirked as they entered the well-cleaned room, causing him to feel a bit sorry for the maids who cleaned it up this afternoon.
After entering the room, Gwen walked in and sat on Lucifer's lap as the pair cuddled—both relaxing, knowing Irina and Marina were safe with Sylvia...
Gwendolyn felt Lucifer's lips land on her soft neck as he kissed her affectionately before sucking slightly, causing her body to tremble as he drained some blood, returning it while the process stimulated her body with pleasure.
"Do you want to become the princess?" He asked as she kissed his chest tenderly, her blonde hair cascading across his chest while her fingers pricked his skin.
She seemed to want his attention as she avoided his question and bit into his neck, her soft lips sealing the wound as she peered into his eyes while drinking his blood.
Her blonde hair and golden eyes seemed to shine as Lucifer stroked the nape of her neck and head... Gwen seemed reluctant to answer as Lucifer realised she just wanted to be alone with him without royal affairs and stress, especially considering tomorrow, they need to start moving forwards in reality rather than hiding.
Lucifer just watched Gwen finish drinking and stand up while undoing her white dress—the buttons came apart, showing her pink bra and panties as she removed them slowly... "I don't want anything but you..." She whispered while looking at him with a welcoming and alluring look.
A single stream of blood oozed down her chin, streaming down her pale body and round breasts as Lucifer caught it in his mouth, wrapping his lips around her soft, pink cherries, lapping up the blood.
Gwen trembled before moaning as Lucifer's cold hands grasped her plump buttocks, squeezing and lifting her—the pair walked towards the wall before pushing her back against it as she wrapped her long legs around his lower body...
Her blonde hair became dishevelled, with blood covering her face and body—Lucifer's fangs extended as he bit into her neck before releasing his hard rod and pushing it into her soft slit as his lord form activated—it caused her eyes to expand as she grabbed his hair tightly, "Yes... that's why it makes me forget everything but you and the pleasure you bring me."
For the next three hours, the sound of banging and a slight shudder filled the castle's west wing, where Lucifer and Gwendolyn were enjoying each other's company and passionate love.
***
Gwen was lying on the bed, barely covering her alluring body with the white sheet, looking up at Lucifer, who was still perfectly fine and stroking her hair gently, while she was exhausted... exhausted, but her mind and heart were filled, now clear of doubt as she reached out to his cheek, brushing along his fair skin.
"I just want to be with you, even if we are poor, insignificant beggers, as long as I have you."
Lucifer's red eyes seemed to shine brightly before she felt his warmth grasp her delicate hand as he pressed his lips against her palm tenderly, "Gwen... then stay by my side and let me keep protecting you..."
Both wanted to tell the other these simple truths for so long but worried the other might have different aspirations. "Mmm... can we sleep together?"
Gwendolyn mumbled before he stroked her hair, kissing her forehead and rolling onto the bed beside her, the soft mattress sinking and their bodies close as Lucifer looked at Gwen, who closed her eyes as his fingers moved through her silky blonde hair, lulling the tired princess to sleep.
It feels so comfortable... maybe if we hadn't met back then, it wouldn't have been so painful for Sylvia... I felt the pain from their past life she felt and knew I had broken her heart once more in this life...
Yet, I feel that destiny can be changed... This time, I will make both of you happy, even if it kills me.
As Lucifer looked at the peaceful face of the princess, her gentle smile caused him to feel at peace before falling asleep with her—unable to sleep alone unless they were beside each other.
Destiny can't be changed... don't make promises you cannot keep...
Please don't leave me alone... Lucifer remembered something, someone whispering faintly, but his eyelids were heavy and tired, his mind clouded, as Gwen's warm body cuddling him caused the lingering melancholic feeling to vanish into the night...
***
Early in the morning, Lucifer awoke from his restful sleep as Gwen remained by his side, sleeping peacefully—he smiled and decided to clean up her body, as it was dirty, using water from a wooden tub with healing herbs added...
After removing the dry blood and white mess from her beautiful, naked body and using a soft white cloth to wipe her clean, Lucifer couldn't help but feel relaxed.
Standing up and dressing in the plain, casual black noble attire given by the lady, Lucifer prepared to train—after exiting the room, he bumped into a familiar templar... Layna had dark rings around her eyes and gazed at him coldly before sighing. "Good Morning, Master. Are you heading to the training fields?"
"Ah yes, why?" Lucifer smiled gently, understanding this young woman was normally quite shy and reserved compared to Irina and Marina, who seemed to follow him willingly, but Layna was raised with the templar belief to fight for the Goddess... So, her conflicting feelings between lust, fear and belief must be affecting her greatly.
"Irina and Marina went with Sylvia and Serena earlier to enjoy the sights after hearing rumours Blatolia has natural treasures that aid divine energy, so I planned to practice... but... may I come with you? It is quiet and lonely inside..."
"Sure, I wanted to spend more time with you anyway." Lucifer, not one to mince words, spoke honestly, causing the tired night to show a red blush on her cheeks as they walked towards the large training ground—thankfully, there was a small area unused by the current knights and soldiers.
Layna removed her armour—beneath were tight white underwear with her supple bust almost spilling out as Lucifer admired her body silently, seeing a few bruises on her lower abdomen...
"Master, please go first...." Her soft voice caused Lucifer to chuckle as he nodded, removing his casual shirt—underneath was a muscular and powerful build, scarred from various fights recently.
While a similar scar forms on his back due to Dalton Hargreaves piercing his flesh deeply, it seems that although the vampiric bloodline heals even such damage incredibly fast, somewhere in Lucifer's mind, he was keeping these wounds, as if to remember the pain and memories of failure.
Seeing Lucifer reveal his chiselled body, Layna swallowed—her eyes seeming dazed and moist as she nodded and focused... However, Lucifer's red eyes saw the way her thighs clenched together before they separated and started practising.
Lucifer first summoned his polearm staff before spinning it lightly in one hand—his foot stepped forward, and the polearm thrust forward quickly, leaving behind an afterimage of the attack while Layna narrowed her blue eyes, her greatsword blocking Lucifer's strike with a loud clang—his eyes glowed slightly as her waist swivelled before using both hands to strike upwards and then step forward to counter the thrust.
His foot stopped her movements with ease as he pushed his weapon against hers while speaking softly... "Layna, don't think too much and let loose... I will accept all you have to unleash. Be it in combat, your worries or the bedroom." Lucifer's seductive whisper caused Layna's blue eyes to shake slightly as she retreated, her sword aimed at Lucifer...
"Why are you making fun of me... I... I will beat you this time, see!"
Layna roared before charging and swinging her greatsword—Lucifer shook his head as she used techniques unsuited for her body, causing her attacks to lack the needed strength due to the wasted movements...
However, Lucifer just blocked while Layna grew frustrated—seeing her movements speed increase as she unleashed several wild strikes...
*Stab" Ah!?" The base of his spear smacked her waist, knocking her to the floor while Layna shook before biting her lips and nodding as she stood up, accepting his words... "I... I want to become stronger... Tell me how!"
Lucifer stopped playing and pointed the tip of his spear at her throat with a loud swish, the wind force causing a cut to form along her neck, trickling with her vibrant blood.
"There are two ways, one with a lot of effort, and the other will change you forever."
But Layna shocked him as her blue eyes looked at him defiantly.
"Why can't I do both? Change my body and work hard!"
A simple sentence and question... but it made Lucifer's eyes widen—his spear vanished as he stepped forward and looked at Layna, who helped his mind click and solve problems in his mind that were weighing him down...
"Lucifer—"
Before she could finish speaking, he kissed her roughly—Layna's blue eyes became dazed before Lucifer held her face with both hands while deepening his kiss, "Call me what Gwen calls me, alright!?"
He was excited before hugging Layna gently, seeing her nod gently and agree to his request—the poor templar knight was now a loyal follower... Lucifer decided to stop training as something was bothering him.
"Husband?"
"Good girl! Spend today performing four thousand strikes and stabs with your blade! Tomorrow, we will start training for real."
I will begin training Layna in secret tomorrow, but today... I will help Gwen achieve both becoming a princess and remaining with me!
