After Lucien left Scarlett's cell, Astrid and Rose were already waiting for him. "Give them a few minutes to eat, then take them to the fourth floor and let them bathe."
"Okay, hubby." Lucien hugged and kissed the girls, then left the castle's dungeon along with Lust. The mental communication allowed them always be in contact, so they could let him know when everything is ready.
Lucien went towards where Cassidy and Angela were, talking about kingdom matters. Lucien was eager to resolve the situation of Olivia and Scarlett.
Although he left the final decision to Cassidy, Lucien also knew that his Queen is a smart woman who understands the advantage that the two leaders could be in their hands.
Still, Lucien was looking forward to seeing a good show. He also wanted compensation for everything Cassidy suffered. Lucien wouldn't take pleasure in beating women, but Cassidy wouldn't have that problem.
Lucien entered the room and saw Cassidy and Angela sitting on chairs in front of a table full of papers, like maps and reports. Ron was in the room too, but quiet in the corner as a servant.
Lust lay down on a sofa in one corner of the room while Lucien walked towards Ron.
"Ron, how are you? I would like to talk to you alone later." Lucien has had a good impression of Ron since they met, and he would like to be more friendly with the loyal spy.
Ron bowed respectfully. "King Lucien, this humble servant is at your service."
Lucien was not used to being called King. He didn't even have a crown yet, and that seemed more like a play between him and Cassidy.
He approached Ron and almost patted him on the head, but he realized it would be wrong to treat men like that and gave him a light punch on the shoulder. "Just call me Lucien. I think we are friends, right?"
Ron didn't know how to act. He was Angela's cousin, but he always treated her like Queen. Now Lucien, who was actually Queen Cassidy's husband, said they are friends.
Of course, Ron would be happy to be Lucien's friend, but he always had a lot of respect for the hierarchy and thought he was just a servant without the right to treat someone who would be King as a friend.
"Okay, L-Lucien. I am ready to talk at any time, just send someone to call me." Ron nodded sheepishly, not knowing what subject Lucien wanted to talk about. If he knew what it was he would be even more embarrassed.
Lucien then walked over to Cassidy and stopped in front of her. She was sitting, so he slowly bent forward to give her a kiss on the lips.
Cassidy was obviously pleased with his action. First, Lucien slowly kissed her lips before starting a long and passionate kiss.
Angela knew that Lucien was very affectionate with his women, but somehow she thought he was provoking her.
Still, she couldn't help admiring Lucien. It was only a few seconds ago that Cassidy had a royal posture like a noble Queen, but now she was just a loving wife in his arms.
She wanted to look away, but she also didn't want to let Lucien think that she was easily affected by him. Then Angela watched their kiss while keeping a calm attitude.
'Huh?!?!' Angela made a great effort to remain calm but failed when Lucien, still kissing Cassidy, looked at her straight in the eyes. At that moment, she was sure that the devil was teasing her.
Lucien pulled his tongue out of Cassidy's mouth but continued to kiss her lips while gazing at Angela.
He was sure it would be best for everyone if she became his wife along with her daughters. Also, seducing the beautiful and mature Angela would definitely be enjoyable.
"Mother-in-law... So what were you talking about?" Lucien greeted Angela and then sat in a chair, which Ron quickly positioned next to Cassidy.
Lucien's words seemed to have some kind of charm, specially made to mess with Angela's mind. She had to use all her will not to lose her focus and told him about the subject she was discussing with Cassidy.
"We are talking about the problems on the west border. There have always been attacks from mystic beasts, but in the last year, bandit attacks on small villages and farms have been increasing."
Lucien had heard a lot about the attacks in the western part of Bluewind. He remembered that some of his girls were there. Cassidy seemed to know what he was thinking and explained what happened.
"We send more soldiers to these villages, but the bandits were attacking more and more. Marie, Anne, and Mia went there with Ron and captured some bandits..."
Cassidy looked at Ron, and he continued. "The situation over there is horrible. Shortly after Queen Angela assumed the throne, she sent fifty soldiers to help them. Only ten soldiers survived."
"As soon as we arrived at one of the villages, they were being attacked by a group of almost a hundred bandits... Even my soldiers and I would have died if it weren't for the Second Princess and your wives."
Lucien knew that Ron didn't mean it to offend him, and it was just because of the respect he has for Marie, but Lucien can't help but correct him. "Marie is one of my wives too."
Ron realized that he made a distinction between Marie and the others, so he was about to bow and apologize to Lucien, but Angela stopped him.
"I didn't see my daughter's wedding. Did you perform the ceremony in secret?" Angela knew that Marie loved Lucien, and he seemed to love her too. Still, since he had a lot of women, she wanted to make sure her daughter would be treated well.
Lucien understood Angela. He would not blame a mother for wanting the best for her daughter. Instead of ordering her not to act sarcastically with him, he replied politely.
"No, we haven't done the ceremony yet, mother-in-law. You know that we have a lot to do now, but as soon as we resolve those critical problems, I will make a big wedding for my sweet Marie."
Although Lucien's response is very respectful, not only to her but to Marie as well, Angela was still a little disappointed. She hoped to make Lucien angry, but her sarcasm didn't affect him.
Angela could only smile at Lucien. "Yes, I understand. I just hope you keep your words. Ron, you can proceed with the report."
Ron was happy to be right about Lucien. Although Angela is a very stubborn person and even rude sometimes, Lucien not only helped them, but he is also very respectful to her and the princesses.

"Well, as I said, thanks to the girls, we managed to defeat the bandits. The fight was not easy, but they retreat, and we also managed to capture two of them."
"After that, we went to other villages and left most of my spies and soldiers there to defend them. From the last reports I received, the situation only worsens, and almost half of the men who stayed have already died."
Lucien needed an army to conquer Portgreen, but he could not train soldiers for that war if they couldn't even protect Bluewind first.
"What information did you get from the bandits?" Lucien knew that unlike wild beasts, men did not act alone, so if he could find out where these bandits gather, it would be easier to solve the problem.
Ron is by nature a gentleman, but he is also a loyal servant of Angela and the people of Bluewind. He used all methods to interrogate the bandits who were doing so much harm to his homeland.
"We got some locations, approximate numbers, and two names. Enzo and Neola. They seem to be leaders of two groups that, despite not being united, help each other in attacks on our people."
Then Angela showed Lucien some of the maps that Ron's spies made with the information they got from the bandits.
Although the situation looked bad for the people of Bluewind, Lucien thought the solution would be simple. Since there seemed to be no people above the S-rank among the bandits, Lucien and his girls could easily deal with them.
The only apparent difficulty was to find them in the vast forest that was a no man's land. "I think dealing with these bandits is going to be good training for the girls. Tomorrow we will be going to look for these two leaders."
Angela knew how Lucien worked things out, but she doesn't feel sorry for the bandits who attack her people without mercy. "Are you going to kill everyone?"
"I don't know. It depends on whether they'll want to cooperate or not." Lucien did not know the situation of the bandits. Apparently, they have no home and raid the people of Bluewind for food.
Of course, Lucien thought of his women and goals before and other people. Still, he wouldn't kill everyone if there was another solution for both sides.
Cassidy couldn't help but smile. Lucien was always willing to solve problems himself and not leave it to others.
"Then the problem with the bandits will be resolved quickly. Soon we will be able to focus on training more soldiers as they won't be dying every day."
Angela could only agree with Cassidy. She also had high confidence in Lucien and knew that nothing could stop him.
"Yes, the bandits won't be a problem anymore, but the question of beasts remains. Ron, explain what you guys found out."
Ron quickly picked a big map and started showing Lucien some areas. "There are always beast attacks in these areas closest to the border. Mainly wolves, and tigers, killing farm animals such as cattle and goats."
"But a few weeks ago the number of attacks increased more than five times. Now, various types of mystical beasts attack not only animals but also people. Also, in many other areas, even far from the border."
It didn't take a genius to understand that something happened in the vast forest, which made the animals start to act like that.
Lucien could only think of his sisters coming to this world a few weeks ago, but he didn't know if that could be connected to the beasts issue.
He could investigate what was going on in the forest when he went there to look for the bandits. But to resolve the beasts' attacks, he now has a solution.
Lucien approached the table, took a quill and paper. Then he started drawing symbols on the sheet. It only took him less than a minute to finish and show it to Angela. "Do you know what this is?"
Angela took the sheet with various circles and symbols. She knew almost half of the symbols, but the others were totally new, even for an experienced wizard as her.
"That sounds like an enchantment... But I've never seen anything like this before. What is it for?"
Lucien learned this enchantment from Cornelius's books, as well as other great knowledge, which could be useful at various times even though he could not do it himself always.
"This is an enchantment to create stone golems. They will be strong and will last for decades, defending the position they are assigned to. As they are very resistant, they will be able to keep the beasts away from the villages."
Everyone in the room, except Lust, were surprised. That spell seemed very valuable and extremely useful to them in that situation.
Angela took another look at the enchantment while thinking aloud. "I think that with a few hours, I can cast it. I also believe that Marie and Lena, as well as other wizards, can cast it with time and mana potions."
Lucien was satisfied with that, after all, he could not use magic to make the golems and also could not leave everything to his women as they would need to make several of those golems to protect the entire western border.
"So we have a plan. Tomorrow we are all going west to start making the golems and meeting the bandit leaders."
Angela's eyes sparkled when she looked at Lucien. He continued to surprise her, not only with his strength and loving actions but also with his capacity to lead and solve problems.
"That sounds like a great plan, Lucien. Thank you for helping us so much."
Lucien couldn't help himself this time and started patting Angela on the head.
Although she found it totally inappropriate, she also couldn't resist while he is doing so much for her family and Kingdom.
"You don't have to thank me, mother-in-law. After all, we are family now."
