Lust Knight

Chapter 36 - The Queen (part 1)

About one year ago.

Mia opened her eyes with some reluctance. She was used to a life of comfort, and sleeping late was common.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Princess, you have to get up, please." Mia woke up early because someone was knocking on the door and calling her.

"Princess! It has to be now. Something happened to your mother..." The person who called Mia seemed desperate. Mia could recognize the voice of one of her maids, but she wouldn’t remember her name.

Mia thought the maid was just calling her for some stupid noble event. But when Mia heard that something happened to her mother, she got up quickly.

Mia opened the door and didn’t even have time to ask anything before the maid took her hand and ran. "What happened to my mother?"

The maid started to say everything she knew as they ran through the castle’s great corridors. "The castle is under attack, and the Queen told me to take you to the secret exit. Two of the best royal guards are waiting to escort you to a safe place."

"No!!" Mia stopped the moment she knew she wasn’t going to see her mother. "I will not leave without my mother! Let’s go to where she is."

The maid couldn’t do much because Mia was always very stubborn and would not listen to anyone other than her mother. "So, let’s go quickly to the throne room."

Mia and the maid went through some secret passages while hearing various battle noises and screams inside the enormous old castle.

They arrived in the magnificent throne room through a secret door near the throne where the Queen was sat. Mia saw several soldiers near the big door and others near her mother. Everyone seemed very nervous as they listened to the Queen’s orders.

"We have to resist! These people want to destroy the order in our city and create an era of chaos. I do not ask you to fight for my life but to maintain my reign, which has only produced peace."

A knight in shining armor near the Queen knelt as he spoke confidently. "We will not allow mercenaries or adventurers to damage you, my Queen!"

When the Queen was going to thank the brave words of her most loyal knight, she noticed Mia in the corner of the room.

"Mia! You have to leave the castle! Radical fools surround us. I don’t know how long we can resist."

Mia did not care about her mother’s warning and ran to hug her. "Come with me, mom! Staying here is not going to change anything, so we have to leave together."

Cassidy, the Queen, is just like Mia but a more mature version. She had straight black hair and big yellow eyes. Unlike Mia, who was still very young, she had a fully developed body with big b.r.e.a.s.ts and an amazing ass.

Cassidy was still trying to convince Mia to leave the castle because she wanted to stay to lead the soldiers as a good queen. Mia insisted that she would not abandon her mother and thought about asking for help from a hooded figure, who was among the knights.

"Astrid, help me to convince my mother to go out with us!"

*BOOOM*

Before the hooded figure, called Astrid, could say anything, everyone heard a loud noise, and the throne room started to shake. Then an angry voice came from the other side of the big door.

"Cassidy, give up those ideas of monarchy! We only want the best for Portgreen. We are going to create a council that will lead the city with more justice and equal rights!"

The Queen knew that those men who said they wanted the best for everyone only cared about their own interests, and even if they did the city well, it would only be to profit later on.

"If I have to die today, I will die fighting, and I will be sure to take you to hell with me, Joerg!"

The soldiers and knights could not want to fight for anyone more than for Cassidy. Not only was she one of the most powerful people of all time, but she was also an excellent queen.

The fact that she was so incredible added to the fact that she was stunning made everyone loyal and in love with her. Some loved her so much that it became a sick obsession.

Even so, the Queen could not fight against two large armies moved by large amounts of gold. The union of mercenary groups and the adventurers’ guild was sufficient to defeat all royal troops.

Then the big door to the throne room began to shake when the invaders began to launch attacks on it. Cassidy stood and picked up her big greatsword.

Everyone was prepared to face the invaders. Then Cassidy looked at Astrid with a pleading look. "My oldest friend... I beg you now, to take my daughter away and protect her until she is strong enough to live alone."

Astrid wanted to stay and fight alongside Cassidy, but she knew that Mia was more important to her than anything. Then she goes towards Mia to catch her by force if needed.

But before Astrid arrived at Mia, she saw something that scared her. "CASSIDY! BEHIND YOU!!"

The Queen turned quickly, but it was too late. Her most loyal knight, the man in the shining armor, used a small crossbow to shot a bolt at Mia.

Cassidy could dodge with her high speed, but Mia would be hurt, so she didn’t think twice before pushing her daughter away, making the bolt hit her in the shoulder.

"MOTHER!"

"QUEEN!"

"CASSIDY!"

*BOOM*

Everyone was in despair when the Queen fell after being hit by the bolt. Astrid quickly approached them at the same time that the door broke with a big explosion, which sent dust everywhere.

Astrid knew that Cassidy would not be knocked out by a simple bolt, so it must be a deadly poison bolt. She took Cassidy in one arm and Mia in the other as she ran toward the secret passage.

"Soldiers, cover me!!!"

While Astrid ran away with the Queen and Mia, she asked the royal soldiers for help, and they did not think twice before covering her way out using their lives as a shield.

But the knight in shining armor was not a simple person and managed to shot two bolts that pierced Astrid’s back. Those bolts were with a super rare poison, but luckily, Astrid is of a demi-human race that had high resistance to all kinds of poison.

Astrid made it to the secret passage, but one of the bolts hit the middle of her back close to her small wings. The other bolt went through part of her wing, leaving scars, which should last forever.

After entering the secret passage, she wasted no time and activated a mechanism that destroyed the entrance preventing anyone from following her...

------------------------

Today.

Mia entered the small room slowly to make no noises. The room was very simple, very different from the old life in the castle, but here they were safe from damn traitors or coward liars.

Here, her mother was safe because no one knew that she was alive. Mia was also always discreet and constantly was with the hood on so she wouldn’t be recognized.

And as most the people did not know the princess, as she spent almost all the time in seclusion, everything was safe.

Mia looked at her mother lying on the bed and couldn’t help but be sad. The splendid Queen Cassidy was very different now.

She no longer had that beautiful and healthy olive skin but pale skin, which gave the impression that she was very sick. Her beautiful black hair from before was now as white as an old lady’s.

Mia felt a pain in her chest to see that her mom’s condition was becoming worse, but then she thought positively. Now, she had the money and could cure the damned poison that afflicted her beloved mother.

While Mia thought about healing her mother, Cassidy spoke kindly, with her eyes still closed. "You came back, my sweetheart. Come and hug this old lady..."

Mia quickly approached and hugged her mother on the bed. "You are not an old lady, mother! I already got the money for the antidote so soon you will be as beautiful as before."

Cassidy knew that an antidote to such a rare poison must be very expensive. And how they lost all their goods to the mercenaries and guild, her daughter alone would not be able to collect all the necessary money before she could take it any longer.

"Mia, I love you, but you have to get on with your life. I know my time is almost up, and you have to accept that I won’t be here much longer..."

Mia understood why her mother was not very hopeful. She tried to buy this antidote before, but even with a lot of money she couldn’t. But now, the chest Lucien gave her was more than necessary. It was a really big fortune.

Mia took one of the cookies she bought and gave it to Cassidy on her mouth. "You don’t need to worry, mom. I met a man, and he gave me a lot of money... He will also protect us from any harm."

Cassidy did not accept the cookie and was very angry at Mia’s words. "Mia, you should not have done this.! This man just wants to take advantage of you! I don’t want you to waste your happiness with a stranger’s lies."

Mia expected such a reaction and wasted no time taking the big bronze chest from her storage ring. The chest fell to the floor, making a loud noise as gold coins and jewelry fell to the floor, surprising Cassidy.

"He said he wants to marry me and gave me all the money he had. You can trust him just as I do."

Cassidy had to agree that someone who would give that amount of money should have serious intentions, but she was still concerned about her daughter’s happiness and couldn’t help but imagine an old and fat man...

"Tell me everything about this man, Mia. Is he a good person?"

Mia was confused when her mother asked her to describe Lucien. She saw him as the most perfect man of all and had no idea how comparing with others.

"Lucien is the most handsome man... But he is not a good person... at least not for others, but to me, he is the best!"

Mia told the whole story of how she met Lucien and did not hide anything, even what they did in the bath. She loved her mother very much and would never hide anything from her.

Cassidy heard the whole story and was not happy when she learned that he attacked her, and then he takes her for a forced bath.

But Mia explained that everything she did was willing and Lucien didn’t force her. She said that Lucien took her to the bath forcibly, but then she felt attracted to him and ended up wanting to do those things.

Mia also said that Lucien was very affectionate with her, and all they did was because she wanted to, and he didn’t force anything ever. Cassidy didn’t know what to think. Mia was young and should have easily fallen in love with a handsome boy.

But then Mia talked about how Lucien killed Light Empire soldiers and then adventurers who tried to attack her. Then Cassidy concluded that Lucien was cruel but that he loved Mia to go so far for her.

If her daughter had to marry the devil, who would protect her from any harm while she was happy, it wouldn’t be bad. "He seems to be interesting, Mia. Let me meet him soon to see if he is truly worthy of my most precious treasure."

Mia kept talking about Lucien and that she would bring him to visit her soon, but then her mother stopped talking and closed her eyes, making Mia worried.

"Mother! Are you okay?" Mia tried to wake her mother, but she was still.

Mia checked Cassidy’s breathing and realized it was fragile. She then checked her pulse, which was also almost stopped.

"Mother!! Mother!!! Mother!!!!"

Mia went into despair and was very afraid. She should think about calling a doctor, but the first person who came to her mind was Lucien.

"Lucien! Yes, Lucien must be must save us!"

A girl as in love as Mia would not have rational thoughts. There were many complications in calling a doctor as some tried to reveal that the Queen was still alive, and Mia needed Astrid’s help to keep them secure.

Mia couldn’t trust almost anyone, but Lucien she could. She trusted him entirely and thought that nothing could hurt her or her mother while Lucien was with her.

Mia didn’t think twice before going to find Lucien while she thought a lot of him in her mind.

---------------------------

Lucien was in the middle of a sensual game with Ravenous. He was kissing her intensely as she tried to get rid of his tight embrace.

Both were enjoying each other a lot. Ravenous could not contain her excitement and sometimes m.o.a.ned Lucien’s name.

"LUCIEN! LUCIENNN!"

But then Lucien heard a different voice calling his name. He recognized the voice instantly and questioned L.u.s.t. "L.u.s.t! Did you hear? It was Mia’s voice. How is this possible?"

L.u.s.t knew almost nothing about the tattoo, which Lucien could put on the girls, but she already had some information she got with Sloth and others while watching Lucien and Mia.

"You can mentally talk with her just like you and me. But Mia’s tattoo may not yet be completely complete as you didn’t take the final step."

"She must be very emotional now and thinking a lot about you; then it activated the mental communication."

Lucien could feel by Mia’s tone that she was desperate, and he was furious. He didn’t know how to deal with the feeling that comes when someone he loved was suffering.

All he could think about was running to help Mia and kill anyone who got in his way. "I’m coming, Mia, just wait a minute!"
