Daisy is uncomfortable because of Donna's upset expression. [I really ruined her fun time... I'm going to have to find a way to apologize later.]
She smiles at Donna with an apologetic expression and then looks at Lucien again. "I would like to get to know my daughter's husband better, but now I came to you because we have to talk about something important..."
"I'm listening," Lucien says, but his mind is split between wondering about that issue and the fact that her husband did not make a blood pact with her. He feels sorry for her and confused because he can't understand why someone wouldn't want that gorgeous and sexy vampire sucking a little of their blood.
Daisy sighs and looks at Donna quickly before looking back at Lucien with a sorry expression. "I really prefer that we talk about it alone."
"Why?" He quickly asks.
She sighs again while fearing to offend Donna or anyone else in her daughter's new family. "Can I be frank?"
"Please." He replies.
Daisy tries to speak in the most respectful way she can. "I, like most vampires, respect the Demons. They never hurt us... but most of them, especially the Seven Great Demons, are extremely dangerous."
Lucien looks into Daisy's eyes. "You trust me because Rose chose me, but you can't trust anyone here, right?"
She nods. "Do you think I'm a bad person because of that?"
"No. Actually, I think you really should be cautious." He responds and then continues. "I trust all my wives because we have a soul connection, but I would not fully trust anyone stronger than me, especially the Sins, without an excellent reason."
"So you understand my situation..." She comments as she smiles at him.
"Indeed..." Lucien smiles at Daisy as he rests his hand on Donna's thigh. "We are listening."
"But... this is..." Daisy doesn't understand why he is complicating the situation.
"This is about your relationship with Fallen Angels who are following us." He surprises her by exactly knowing what she wants to talk about. Then he continues. "That is an extremely important subject, and it has to do with them and me, so do you really think I would hide it from my sisters and wives?"
"It's not that... but..." Daisy doesn't know what to say because she really thinks that Lucien shouldn't hide it from others. In fact, she is happy that he is honest with them as it means that he is also honest with Rose.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDonna provocatively smiles at Daisy while she is pretty happy that Lucien doesn't think to hide anything from her. Every second beside him, she feels that their relationship is improving even more. Also, her body is enjoying his caresses on her thigh despite her mind finding it extremely inappropriate.
Lucien keeps talking to Daisy. "The only reason Pride and Wrath are not torturing you now to find out everything you know about that Fallen Angel is because I told them that you would willingly tell us what you know."
Daisy is not surprised by those words. If he already knew about that, they all did too. It is interesting to see a big family as close as they are, and she is happy that Rose is part of that family.
However, his next words shock her again, mainly because of his honest and gentle tone.
"Daisy... you are a brilliant and powerful woman, even though you are hurt now, which does not change how amazing you are. I have no intention of hiding anything from you... the truth is that I need your help with two very important issues, in addition to the information you have about that Fallen Angel. So I really want us to get along." He explains.
She smiles at him. "If you continue to be honest with me, I'm sure we can get along."
He smiles back. "The Bloody Rose is inside my sisters and me."
"W-W-WHAT?!" Daisy doesn't believe what she just heard. She really wants to have heard that wrong.
Lucien is happy with Daisy's reaction. He wasn't exactly hiding that and even talked out loud to Donna about the Bloody Rose some minutes ago, so Daisy wasn't really listening to his talks and just following him to talk alone.
He sighs. "This is complicated. My dad mysteriously got the Bloody Rose. And it also has to do with Pride and a mysterious woman."
Daisy now understands why she feels that familiar sensation around Lucien and his sisters. Also, many people expected that the Seven Great Demons would someday try to use Bloody Rose, but they did not do it before because they wanted to maintain good relations with their race.
Still, she is surprised that Lucien and his sisters seem to be doing well under the influence of the Blood Rose. "Lucien... you know, it is the greatest treasure of the Vampire Race. Very powerful people already tried to use it even in tiny fractions and still died horribly."
Lucien makes a neutral expression. "I understand that. I can feel my energies getting more powerful and chaotic at the same time. Sometimes I feel like I'm not in control of myself, and I end up acting on impulse... my emotions are just too intense."
"This is how the rose acts. It makes sense for you to be such a passionate person..." Daisy pauses for a second before continuing. "But the situation is really bad. Another rose will only form in the center of the Blood Moom when the last one or whoever used it is completely destroyed. So... you will die from the side effects of the rose, or other people will try to kill you so that a new rose is born."
Then she makes a worried expression. "Your death won't be good for Rose... you know, she won't be able to make a new blood pact anymore."
Lucien continues to stroke Donna's thigh. "My sisters and I will not die so easily. As far as I know, this is the first time Bloody Rose is used in Sins' hosts. Also, they have a plan, and I hope you can help us with your experience as an alchemist and vampire."
Daisy makes a confident expression. "Yes... I will help you in any way I can. In fact..."
She pauses for a second and wonders if it's really okay to tell her secrets to Lucien. She just feels that it is very easy to talk to him as he seems to be very understandable, kind, and trustworthy.
[Well... my daughter and I are already too involved in this to back off.] She concludes while she is willing to be frank with Lucien and expect the same from him.
"I was part of a group of alchemists who studied the Bloody Rose. We have already done many experiments with different people, and well... that part of my past is not something I am proud of, but that knowledge can be useful now." Daisy explains.
"Hmmm..." Lucien can't help but wonder that his luck again seems ridiculously absurd. Not only did he get a beautiful vampire wife on the first day in this world, but her mother is an alchemist with high knowledge about the Bloody Rose. Again, things seem to be of extreme coincidence, or someone is manipulating him, his sisters, and even the Sins.
Lust, inside his soul, also thinks like him, and even Wrath, who is not an example of a wise person, can see that something seems very wrong there.
However, none of them think that Daisy is hiding something from them. Lucien thinks that if she knew all this before, she wouldn't let Rose make the pact with him because all of that is very dangerous, but now that they are together, he knows that Daisy will do anything to help them, not because of him, but for Rose's happiness.
Therefore, they conclude that if someone is manipulating them, they are all pieces positioned there without them having any control over the situation.
Lust did not want to appear before to don't make Daisy more uncomfortable, but she does not resist and materializes her body next to Lucien. "Daisy, I would like to know why you left your homeworld."
"I... I'm going to tell you that, and I also brought part of my research on Bloody Rose. It is at my home in Camblea City, on the east continent." She explains.
Lucien looks at the mature vampire with a kind expression. "Aright, Daisy, you don't have to force yourself on anything. We are together, and we will have plenty of time to talk about it. I am very interested in your research, so we will go to your home as soon as possible."
"Yeah... the fate seems to have brought us together, or someone..." Daisy also realizes that their situation looks very bizarre.
While her mind starts working at Its maximum to think of solutions to stop, or more specifically, delay the effects of Bloody Rose on the bodies of Lucien and his sister, he is focused on more urgent things.
"Daisy..." Lucien says and waits for her to focus on the conversation again. "I would like us to talk about the Bloody Rose with the other Sins present. Right now, I need to know if the Fallen Angel is dangerous to my family."
"Yes, sure..." Daisy feels that she has so much to talk to Lucien that time seems short.
She looks at the sky a few times before she looks at him with a sad expression. "She... I meet her forty-three years ago, one year after I arrived in this world."
Lucien, Lust, Donna, and Wrath are silent to hear Daisy's story as she continues. "In fact, she found me when I was exploring this world."
"You may already know how Angels become Fallen Angels..." She makes a sorry expression. "She was in the same situation as me, that is, looking for a distant place to have the last years of our life in peace."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I didn't feel any hostility towards her even though she was an angel, or rather, she was no longer an angel, was she? Well, she didn't want a fight, either, and just asked me to leave her alone." Daisy explains.
She shakes her head and smiles. "But I didn't leave her alone... Don't get me wrong, I'm not really a charitable person, but she was hurt and suffering like me, so I wanted to help a possible powerful ally. You never know when we're going to need friends."
Daisy sighs. "I tried to help her for several years, but in addition to not finding any good resources in this world, the curse inflicted on her seems too powerful for a simple alchemist to solve it alone."
"After ten years of research, I think I managed to delay the rotting process of her body. I actually used some resources that I was using to prevent my body from rotting..." Daisy speaks with an expression even sadder.
"Wait!" Lucien gets up. He is still curious about the Fallen Angel story, but now he is really concerned about Daisy's health. Lust said that she is in sick but did not give many details about her real situation.
Daisy is confused as she thinks Lucien is upset with her because she helped the Fallen Angel, but she is again shocked by his next words, in a positive way, of course.
"What do you mean by the rotting process of your body? Are you dying?" He asks in a clearly concerned tone.
While Daisy is happy that Lucien seems really concerned about her health, Lust speaks out loud. "She suffered an attack in her Blood Nascent, and her body can no longer regenerate naturally."
'Why didn't you explain it to me before?' Lucien asks Lust mentally.
She quickly responds. 'I told you she was in bad shape and that you could help her... but you don't want to ruin her relationship with her husband.'
'You still look very calm... you have another method to help her, don't you?' He asks.
Lust smiles at him. 'Yea. I knew you wouldn't easily fuck her, but now that Sophia is back, she should be able to cure almost everything with the help of your demonic energy, or rather, the mixes you can create with your sisters and mine.'
While Lucien is relieved that he can help Daisy without destroying her marriage, making Rose hate him, Lust teasingly smiles.
'But that is just an assumption. All I am sure of is that your cock would do very well for Daisy. Damn, she doesn't even have a husband who feeds her, so now that you know that, you're neglecting one of your mother-in-law while she needs your help so badly.' Lust comments in Lucien's mind.
