Everyone went quiet and none of them seemed to be bothered by what Mykel said. They still couldn't comprehend his reason for why Luciel, the daughter of Lucifer himself was there with them. Their hatred for her and her sisters couldn't be brushed off just like that, especially after what happened in Aersland.
Mykel knew it by the look on their faces, especially Jeanne and Brynhilde who bore their deep hatred toward Luciel.
"Do you really hate her for what she did?" Mykel asked as he looked at those two. "Even after knowing that she was created to be used and sacrificed in the end?" Mykel asked again.
"(Using my name again to gain their favor. Mortals are so easy to fool, but I have no complaints because they're so fascinating to be fooled,") Lucifer said.
Mykel ignored him and waited for their response to his questions. They both looked at each other, but based on the expressions they made, they still couldn't get over it.
"I don't care if you pity me or despise me," Luciel said as she looked at them. "Your presence is not worthy to be recognized either. Without any of you, I'm not bothered. You're all so insignificant," Luciel continued.
Jeanne scoffed as she glared at Luciel with hatred. "Then there's nothing we need to discuss here, Mykel. Let's leave," Jeanne said as she turned around, and then they all left with her.
Mykel watched them leave and did nothing at all as Lucifer was chuckling with satisfaction.
"Do you wish to make the same mistake as Lucifer, Luciel? His pride is the reason why he fell that low, and look what happened to him now," Mykel said as he sat down on the chair. "Didn't I tell you why the Constellations need them? No matter how strong you are, you can't work alone. Even Lucifer knew that much," Mykel sighed deeply.
"I have my sisters, and I have you. My father didn't need those mortals to reach to where he stood," Luciel answered.
Mykel didn't realize how stubborn she was until he knew her better. She was similar to or might be even worse than Lucifer regarding stubbornness.
"You can leave," Mykel stood up and didn't look at her. "If you don't want to, then I'm not going to persuade you anymore," Myjek said as he walked to the door.
Luciel didn't react and teleported to the Empyrean World with Angra.
"(You might need to use a different method against her,") Lucifer said.
"(I know. I will ask Beldathiel to do it for me since she might be able to persuade her,)" Mykel answered.
"(That might work,") Lucifer replied.
Mykel left the hall and saw everyone standing in the hallway doing nothing. Looking at every one of them who came to Earth without their belongings, Mykel brought them all back to the Aersland World.
Mykel was sitting at the dining table with everyone. Bryndel and Hildegarde were eating next to Brynhilde, and they noticed the tension in the room was quite heavy. They were curious as to what had happened, but they were too scared to ask because Mykel seemed to not want to be bothered.
Manna didn't know exactly what had happened to the Aersland World, and everyone explained everything to her. She realized why they all hated Luciel since she annihilated the cities in Aersland.
Knowing that Manna was an Empress herself, Bryndel, Hildegarde, and Brynhilde immediately treated her differently. They didn't know about Manna's status, and it was a perfect opportunity for the three of them to dig up more information about Manna and her world.
As soon as Mykel had his lunch, he went to the room that had been prepared for him in the palace. He checked the [Ergokinesis] skill that allowed him to manipulate energy, including life force. He was planning to leave to the Dimiorgia World to satiate the baby in Lyneth's womb, but someone knocked on the door.
"Come in," Mykel said as he sat on the bed and closed the screen.
It was Jeanne, and she looked a bit guilty written on her face. It was because of what she said back there, but she didn't regret it. Although she didn't regret it, she was still feeling bad since she knew it was Mykel's plan.
Mykel didn't say anything and kept staring Jeanne in the eye. She then stood right in front of Mykel, but she didn't know what to say, or why she came to his room in the first place. There was something that she was so sure about, and it was her feelings toward Mykel.
"I was worried, and I missed you so much," Jeanne said and her voice was trembling a bit.
Mykel smiled as he stood up. He then opened his arms and Jeanne immediately hit her body on him. She wrapped her arms around Mykel's body so tightly, and she was so happy to see him again.
The hug lasted quite a while until Jeanne slowly lifted her head to look Mykel in the eye. She gulped and slowly her attention moved to his lips. She then chuckled nervously as she shook her head.
"I don't care anymore," Jeanne said under her breath, and then kissed Mykel so passionately.
Mykel smiled and quickly wrapped his arms around Jeanne and kissed her back. They kissed for a long time until Jeanne decided to push him to the bed behind him. She slowly sat on top of him as she slowly pushed his shoulders down to the bed.
Jeanne then began to unbutton Mykel's shirt as she kissed him passionately on the neck. Mykel watched as Jeanne's lips made their way down to his chest. She rubbed her hands around his shoulders and down to his chest as she started kissing him on the lips again.
Jeanne removed her shirt as she sat on top of Mykel, but then they heard a gasp from outside the room since Jeanne had forgotten to close the door. Jeanne turned around as she covered her breasts with her hands, and saw Brynhilde blushing and covering her mouth.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to interrupt," Brynhilde said as she covered her eyes with her left hand hanging in front of her eyes. "I'll leave you guys be," Brynhilde closed the door and left.
Jeanne was still looking at the door, and Mykel took the opportunity to change the situation. He grabbed her waist and slammed her to the bed. He gently stroked her hair and tucked them, and then he started kissing her on the neck as he heard her heavy breathing.
"It's been a while, so please be gentle," Jeanne said breathlessly.
"Have I ever been rough when we do it?" Mykel asked and kissed her again, this time on the lips. Jeanne kissed back with more passion, and Mykel could feel her hands running up his back. He deepened the kiss as his hands roamed her body, and Jeanne moaned softly in pleasure.
Brynhilde was blushing as she ran down the stairs, and it attracted everyone's attention who had finished their lunch. Rozan and the others looked at her and immediately knew what had happened, and it didn't take long until they could hear a faint moaning from above.
"Looks like we are not going home today," Rozan said as he rubbed his stomach and burped. "Let's finish the job then," Rozan walked away while Nexus and his team were flustered when they heard the moaning.
"Yes, let's not bother them," Brynhilde said.
The morning came, and everyone was still asleep, but not Mykel and Jeanne. They both did it all day and didn't care if anyone was listening to them or if they knew what they were doing.
"I'm sorry, about yesterday," Jeanne said as she rested her head on Mykel's chest. "I still don't understand the reason why you chose her," Jeanne looked at Mykel with her eyebrows furrowed.
"It's fine, but I really need you to do me a favor here," Mykel said as he stared at the ceiling. "Lucifer is dead, and Luciel is the only one who will be taking over the towers now. You should remember about my plan when you met with the Constellations in the castle hall. I will be taking the towers for the greater good, and this is it," Mykel answered as he looked at Jeanne.
"I know that you're still unconvinced, but that's okay. I'm not going to force you if you don't want to," Mykel said. "Let's just go home tomorrow. You can get some sleep now," Mykel continued.
Jeanne hummed, and immediately fell asleep the moment she closed her eyes.
