Daisy can see that Lucien is genuinely concerned for her and that expression of him is somewhat refreshing because she is used to her husband seeing her as the most powerful person in the world and therefore believes that she can overcome anything.
However, she is not invulnerable. She is a sick woman who fears she will not live long, and all she wants is to be loved and protected as Lucien loves and protects his wives.
She nods while looking at Lucien. "Yes, my Blood Nascent is ruined, and I can't even predict how long I can stay alive using alchemy."
Lucien approaches Daisy and rests his hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry; I believe Sophia can help you. Her healing skills are excellent, and her life mana is incredible."
Daisy feels so relaxed while her body feels so good with just that touch of Lucien. Still, she makes a thoughtful expression. "Life mana? I already tried that with some life crystals that I had brought from my world, but it had no effect. The Blood Nascent is irreparable."
He slowly caresses her shoulder, not with any second thoughts but just because he is very concerned about her and wants to comfort her.
"Sophia has the Bloody Rose and a Sin boosting her already amazing healing powers, so you must be hopeful..." He speaks and then pauses for a few seconds before continuing. "Also, if she can't help you, there is something that sure can."
Daisy doesn't even realize that Lucien's caresses are very inappropriate because now both of them are very much focused on her problem. Also, she is curious about what he is talking about. "What is it?"
"Let's start with the first method, and if it fails, I'll explain the second option, okay?" He gently smiles at her, making her feel more positive and comfortable.
She smiles back at him. "I trust you."

"Right now?" Daisy asks with a surprised expression.
"Of course, why should we wait?" He asks and then quickly continues. "No member of my family will keep suffering while I have methods to heal them."
Daisy agrees with everything Lucien does and the way he thinks. In fact, she likes him more and more and is very happy that Rose has him as her husband. A part of her is even a little envious, and she feels ashamed about it.
So, she definitely doesn't want to disturb him and his family. Then she makes a hesitant expression. "Sophia and the other girls are so excited about the ceremony, and they have a lot of work to make it perfect until the night. I don't want to disturb this great day."
Lucien sighs. "I won't be comfortable knowing that you are so sick. You and they can blame me for that."
[Fuck!! Why do you look better and better?!?!] Daisy really wants to blame Lucien, but for looking more and more ridiculously wonderful.
"I'm not going to die yet. In fact, I know I can live using my alchemy for a few more years, so some days won't be a problem." She argues.
"Your problem is very serious, and you can really die at any moment. I will not take that risk... I need your help, you know." He explains.
Although Lucien makes it seems that he is afraid of losing Daisy because he needs her help, she already understood that he is worried about her because he is like that, someone who protects his family, and she also already considers him part of the family.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})"Please, don't make me ruin this moment. Your wives will forgive me, but I will not forget that." Daisy begs.
Lucien sighs. "Then we will do that right after the ceremony."
"But... you guys have the wedding night..." Daisy comments as she tries not to imagine Lucien and Rose having sex.
"This is not questionable." He responds in an authoritative tone, and Daisy doesn't feel like arguing anymore.
"Then we will do that after the ceremony." She nods while she is concerned that the girls will be upset with her, and at the same time, she can't help but be happy because she really believes that Lucien can help her heal something she has been trying for so many years.
Lucien goes back to below the apple tree, picks up another apple, and sits down next to Donna, who quickly accepts another bitten apple from him.
Then he cleans the ground on the other side of him and smiles at Daisy. "We still have a lot to talk about until the ceremony."
She sits next to him while Lust materializes her body sitting on Lucien's shoulders, which makes Donna do another upset expression.
"Do I continue the Fallen Angel story?" Daisy asks.
Lucien makes a thoughtful expression. "We really need to know more about the Fallen Angel, but I'm more curious about your wound. What is the Blood Nascent, how and who attacked you there?"
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Daisy again feels confused about Lucien's way of thinking. From her perspective, he is more concerned about who attacked her because the Fallen Angel did nothing bad to his family.
"Hmm... I haven't told Rose that yet." She makes a thoughtful expression.
"I understand that you want to protect her from all this shit. But Rose is a strong woman, and she has to know who our enemies are." He explains.
"Do you want revenge for what happened to me?" She asks.
"I do." He quickly replies.
"..." Daisy doesn't say anything, but she likes Lucien more and more every second next to him. She always thought about revenge, but she couldn't really do anything about that.
Then she starts telling her story, in short, of course. "I have always loved alchemy, and my focus for most of my life was to seek knowledge to help my people."
"As one of the youngest alchemists of my race, I caught the attention of many powerful people. The royal family invited me to be part of the group that studied the Bloody Rose and my family was very happy for me."
Her eyes sparkle as she remembers the good times in her life. "Everything was going perfect. I was young for the standards of my race, I had an excellent position in our society, and the resources to become more powerful and do a lot for my people."
"We, the Bloody Rose research group, were like family..." She smiles as she continues. "And as a natural part of life, I started thinking about raising my own family as well."
"There was a guy among us who was really kind. He was also shy, and I had to take the first step for our relationship to start to evolve into something more."
Daisy sighs. "Everything was going well... but then the second prince joined our research group. He was the kind of mysterious and quiet person who never gets into trouble, but just by looking at him, you can see that he hides his real nature."
"He didn't interact with us very much, but for some reason, he got interested in me..." Daisy tries to be vague about that, but Lucien understands that any man can be enchanted by her easily. After all, she is gorgeous from any angle.
"A beautiful and brilliant young vampire? I don't see why he would be interested in you." Lust sarcastically laugh.
But Daisy did not laugh because that was the beginning of her problems. She continues her story. "I definitely wanted nothing to do with that stupid prince. But before I got anything with my kind friend, everyone already knew that the prince wanted me as his wife."
She makes a sad expression. "I don't blame my friend for not trying to fight for me. The royal family is not bad for the people, but they are still respected by everyone, so he didn't want to get in the way of the second prince."
"I kept trying to ignore the prince, but it just made him want me more... for a few months in a row, things in our group were pretty bad for everyone."
"The second prince was so smart that he made everyone think he was a good and kind man who was being rejected by me for no reason. My family and friends tried to persuade me to marry him, and even the royal family made it clear that they supported that."
"I knew that at some point, I would have no way to keep refusing him because he would do something to force me to accept him. So I planned to run away; I would go to the other side of the Blood Moon to start a new life away from the second prince and the royal family.
Daisy pauses for a few seconds before continuing. "My plan was good, but I underestimated his intelligence... The second prince discovered and planned something that I could never expect."
"The day I ran away, I was chased by soldiers of the second prince, and at a time when I was left with no way out, a mysterious woman helped me."
"That woman came out of nowhere..." Daisy looks at Lucien's face with a thoughtful expression. "She just helped me, so I kept running away after thanking her."
"After that, I managed to escape and get away from the capital. I was hidden for several days moving from city to city to try to despite anyone following me..."
She sighs again. "But nothing worked... The spies of the second prince knew all my steps, and as soon as I stopped running, someone brought me some stuff..."
"There was a poster talking about my family being accused of treason and attempting to steal the Bloody Rose. Also... the spy gave me a magic recording stone with a picture of me thanking that mysterious woman who helped me..."
"These magic recording stones can keep images, sounds, or even replicate a scene perfectly and that cannot be changed; that is, it is a precious magical tool that can serve as unquestionable evidence." Lust quickly explains.
Daisy nods. "Exactly. And... that woman looked like a normal vampire... she even had fangs... But the spy then gave me a magic recording stone with a picture of her with demonic horns and tail... She was a high demon, and the second prince would accuse my family of using the picture of us as proof of betrayal and attempt to steal the Bloody Rose for the Demons."
"My relationship with my family was bad since they tried to force me to marry the second prince. But I knew that that accusation of betrayal would ruin not only my parents but also everyone connected with my family and me."
She makes a sad expression again. "I couldn't let hundreds of people being brutally killed because of me. So I went back to the capital."
"I was willing to sacrifice myself for them, but before I did anything, that kind friend of mine met me at the city gates and told me that my family and friends were not really in danger. That accusation of treason was a farce."
Daisy's expression becomes angry. "I was furious, not with my family but with the damn second prince, who manipulated everyone to get what he couldn't have."
"Without considering anyone else, I pretended to accept the situation and tried to attack the second prince. But he was very strong... He was furious when I hurt him and tried to force me into a blood pact."
She pauses for a few seconds while running her hand over her neck, which looks perfectly fine without any scar.
"He drank my blood and forced me to drink his, but the pact cannot work unless both vampires want that. He became even more frustrated because he was unable to force me into that, and then he started sucking more and more of my blood." She continues.
"The Blood Nascent is the core of the anatomy of vampires. That is the original part of our blood, the heritage of our ancestors. And it is that part of our blood that allows us to transform any type of blood into nutrients."
"The second prince started sucking my Blood Nascent. That would kill me..." Daisy makes a thoughtful expression. "But then that mysterious woman, the demon, appeared again and knocked the second prince his dozens of powerful soldiers."
"She was so powerful..." Daisy says with an impressed expression. "She apologized to me and said that she didn't know the second prince's real intentions."
Daisy shakes her head. "I was going to die because of my injuries or because the royal family would kill me... So that woman opened a mysterious portal and said that it would send me to a very distant inferior world and I could start a new life if I manage to survive."
"Well..." She sighs again. "Heike helped me when I arrived in this world very wounded. I had my storage treasures full of alchemical tools and resources, so I managed to survive here until today."
Lust comes off Lucien's shoulders and looks him in the eye with a concerned expression. "She..."
"That... that... how could that be her??" Lucien doesn't want to believe what he and Lust are thinking.
However, Daisy, Donna, and Wrath do not understand what they are talking about.
