Chapter 166 - Competition
Envy explained her plan to Amelia, and then she spoke to Lucien. "We are not going to use only our strength, but all of our capabilities."
Before Lucien asked, Envy continued to explain. "L.u.s.t told me that you plan to conquer Portgreen. Amelia also plans to conquer Portgreen, because we need to use it to have quicker access to the north by the sea."
"So let's use all of our capabilities to see who can conquer Portgreen first."
Lucien could only shake his head while L.u.s.t looks annoyed. "You've gotta be kidding. You control an army of hundreds of thousands while we only have a small group of warriors. This is totally unfair."
Envy shrugged. "That is the difference between us. While you are indulging in pleasure, we are conquering the world. It is obvious who has to lead. This competition would be just to prove that Lucien must follow Amelia and cooperate with us."
Envy would use all methods and logic to have Lucien under her control so that she could use him to generate demonic energy only for her.
Before L.u.s.t started to argue with Envy, Lucien spoke. "It looks good. We just need to-"
Then L.u.s.t quickly sent a mental message to Lucien. 'Wait. This is very risky. We cannot win against armies with more than ten times our number yet. This is crazy.'
Lucien smiled at L.u.s.t as he responded to her. 'It's alright. We can do that. I have a plan.'
L.u.s.t knows how manipulative Envy is and that she would use every advantage to force them onto her plans. She also knew that their overall strength is now very humble compared to the army that Amelia controls.
Still, L.u.s.t trusted Lucien just as he trusted her. She was sure they could do anything together.
She nodded to Lucien, and he went on to explain his point to Envy and Amelia. "That idea is good, but we need to make some changes."
Amelia made a thoughtful expression. "What do you suggest?"
Lucien replied. "Two months. The difference between our current forces is huge. If you give me two months to take Portgreen, I can have more troops, and you will be able to become stronger, so we could have a more balanced battle."
Envy thought there was something wrong because the most reasonable decision would Lucien and L.u.s.t to refuse her idea of ​​"competition" because it is very unfair, but in fact, he accepted with the condition of two months of preparation.
Envy could only suspect that Lucien is too stupid if he really thinks that in two months, even with the entire population of Portgreen, he could defeat the Light Empire's army.
Still, if he accepted, it would be easy to show him the difference between their power, and he would certainly be more docile, so Envy could slowly take control of the situation.
Envy and Amelia quickly nodded as they responded together. "Okay."
Lucien smiled. "So, just to be sure, we can use any of our abilities, or other means... No matter what. As long as we manage to keep control of Portgreen in two months, right?"
Amelia also started to think that Lucien was hiding some very incredible asset, or he is really naive to think he could compete with her army.
Still, she very much wanted him to stay by her side and follow her lead, so she also wouldn't spare the resources to break his overconfidence.
She nodded. "Yes, anything is allowed."
Lucien made a thoughtful expression. "So if I prevent you from returning to the Light Empire and contacting your troops for two months, will I win?"
Amelia had an upset expression. "I already said that fight was not fair. You did that to me!! If I try my best, you can't defeat me."
Lucien started walking towards Amelia with a strange smile on his face. "Oh? Are you sure? I can try other moves."
She started to walk backward while blushing. "Stop! This is not the way we will prove who has the best methods and talent."
Lucien continued walking slowly towards her. "Okay, I'm not going to do anything too weird… Because your idea of ​​competition is very fair."
Amelia knew that use all of her troops is not fair to Lucien. Still, she wants him with her more and more. "Will you accept it or not?"
"Humm... This actually seems very good for me... Well, we have to finish setting the winning terms." Lucien responded.
Amelia hid behind Envy so that Lucien couldn't do anything strange to her. "What terms. Isn't it very simple? Whoever loses will follow the other without complaining."
Lucien shook his head as he walked slowly towards Envy and Amelia. "Now the deal doesn't look good. You know, the odds are totally in your favor, so the rewards have to be worth it for me to accept."
Amelia started to turn Envy's body towards Lucien as he walked around them. "So, what do you want?"
He stopped walking around them and approached them. So, he brought his face close to Envy's. "If I win, you will become my woman."
*Thump* *Thump*
Amelia's heart beat faster when she heard Lucien's bold words.
Although a part of her felt confused, her mind quickly rejected any positive thoughts about that as it seemed crazy.
"No! Not that!! We are siblings!" Amelia quickly exclaimed, clearly upset, rather than agitated.
Envy didn't move and stared at Lucien's face. His scent is certainly the most pleasurable she has ever smelled before... Just thinking that L.u.s.t has him completely to herself, made Envy jealous.
"He's not talking about you. He wants me to be his wife, right? You already have a great demon, but do you want another? Wouldn't that be too greedy?" Envy smiled.
Lucien smiled as he brought his face even closer to Envy's, making her feel his breath on her lips.
He looked her
