Lithira simply nodded and followed her mother outside, leaving Lucien to his thoughts. She was still worried about him, but she knew he needed some time alone.
Once they reached the hallway, Brigantiea dropped a bombshell. "Let's have a threesome so Lucien can release his pent-up," she declared confidently.
Lithira was left speechless. She knew her mother could be self-centered at times, but this was crossing a line!
Didn't Brigantiea realize how serious the situation was?
Even though Lithira wasn't part of the village and didn't plan to become one, she understood the weight on Lucien's shoulders.
"Are you joking, Mom?! How can you be so heartless?! Can't you see how stressed he is?!" Lithira scolded, her hand instinctively massaging her temple.
Brigantiea sighed, disappointment evident in her eyes. "Lucien is just clueless. As long as I'm around, I won't let anyone harm him, let alone kill him."
Crossing her arms, she continued, "Didn't I give him a hint when he asked me to teach him magic? He's foolish to think he can't rely on others for protection when I'm always by his side."
Brigantiea's mark allowed her to track Lucien and sense danger, making her a constant guardian. The only thing he needed to say was "Please protect me." or "Please just kill everyone." and she would do that without a second thought.
But for Lithira, this revelation was shocking. "Wow, you really care about him, huh? I've never seen you so invested in someone before."
Brigantiea furrowed her brows. "I think you got the wrong idea, Lithira. I just love his dick and his skill in bed. I will do anything to make his dick intact."
Searching for another mate was a hassle when the perfect match was right in front of her. She just needed to ensure his safety.
After all, what was the worst that could happen to a human? With Brigantiea's power, even the King of Lacustris posed no threat.
Lithira's disappointment was evident on her face. "Oh, I see... But I still think a threesome is a bad idea," she insisted.
"Why? Sex makes you feel good and more relaxed. Thinking about all of this complicated matter is useless. Lucien just needs to clear his mind," Brigantiea explained.
She continued, "I won't expect you to understand. You're still young and a virgin too. How old are you again?" she said sarcastically before turning to leave Lithira.
But Lithira wasn't ready to back down. She grabbed Brigantiea's shoulder and said firmly, "I'm not a child anymore! I'm 500 years old!"
"Then stop acting like one!" Brigantiea retorted, her hands on her hips.
"I'm not! I just met Lucien a couple of days ago! How come I want to give him my virginity? Aren't we need to be in love first?!" Lithira said, her cheek and ears red in embarrassment.
Brigantiea gasped, shocked at how she reacted, "And you still call yourself my daughter?!"
She couldn't believe a child that she found in the woods and had lived with her for 300 years was this naive to think sex and love were the same things.
'Did I raise this child wrong?' Brigantiea thought to herself.
"Wha... What do you mean?! Of course, I'm your daughter!" Lithira pouted, a little saddened by her mother's comment.
Turning her blushing face away, she brushed her hands together in discomfort, "And... Isn't it unfair that my first time will be a threesome?"
Lithira found herself drawn to Lucien, and she was relieved when her mother seemed open to the idea of her pursuing him.
But, if she really fell in love with him, could she share her feelings with another woman, even if it was her mother?
In Nereideia, harems were a common practice. But, she wants her man to be hers only. She was greedy for love.
"So, you don't want to share him with me?" Brigantiea furrowed her brows, she knew well what her daughter wanted and desired.
"It's not like that, Mom. I'm worried it might lead to complications in the future. You know me well, I struggle with choosing the right partner and controlling my emotions," Lithira explained softly.
"I fear I might hurt you again, as I did in the past. I don't want to strain our relationship once more," she admitted, her voice tinged with remorse.
Brigantiea just sighed, she knew that this conversation would be brought up and she already said a hundred times that she forgave her.
Brigantiea then places a comforting hand on Lithira's shoulder, "I told you that it was already in the past. Lucien is not that man. He won't hurt you or take advantage of you. If he one day is devoured by his own power and greed, I will be the one that stops him."
"And if one day you become crazy about Lucien, I'm sure that he can handle you well. I brought him to you as your partner not just because of his dick, but because I think I can trust him to you."
"I won't get jealous easily and we won't become enemy just because a man. So stop talking nonsense like that again! We talking about sex and not love."
"Gezz, stop making everything complicated, Lithira!" Brigantiea tugged her daughter's ears playfully to lighten the mood and make Lithira wince in pain.
"Ow, Mom, cut it out!" Lithira protested, trying to suppress a smile as she pushed her mother's hand away while Brigantiea just laughed.
In her heart, she found solace in knowing her mother still cared for her despite past mistakes. She thought that she would hate her.
That fear had driven her into isolation, deep within the forests where loneliness became her only companion.
Lithira's doubts about loving Lucien began to fade. Even if her feelings veered into obsession, she took comfort in the thought that someone would be there to intervene, to save her from herself.
That someone was her mother.
"So, you agreed with threesome, right?" Brigantiea asked again. She never has threesome before and she thought it would be hot to do that.
"Why are you really obsessed with that?!" Lithira sighed, even when she was quite curious about it.
What does sex feel like? Was that good to the point her mother was obsessed with it?
"What do you mean? Because it's hot! You doesn't have a problem with sharing anymore, right?" asked Brigantiea casually.
Lithira could feel the hotness in her cheek and she tucked her hair, whispered to her mother, "Aren't you embarrassed?"
Brigantiea raised her eyebrow, "I naked all the time, why I need to be embarrassed? It's just sex."
Lithira knows her mother won't understand her feeling at all. She might think that sex was casual. But for her it was intimate!
Suddenly they could heard the door opened, it was Lucien walking staggering and approaching them.
He looks so depressed with disveled hair and clothes. The light in his eyes disappeared and there was a black aura all over him.
"What are you two doing here?" he asked, his voice devoid of its usual energy.
Before Lithira could respond, Brigantia interjected with an unexpected statement. "Lithira agreed to a threesome," she exclaimed excitedly.
"What?! Really? When? Where?" His eyes lit up, and suddenly, he looks like his old self again. It seemed like all the problem in his shoulder was gone.
Looking at how happy Lucien was making Lithira giving up her intention to protest. She was glad that he was not pressured anymore.
Brigantiea nudged at her and whispered, "See I told you he will be happy."
"Haha..." Lithira could only laugh awkwardly. Because she has another problem, that was a threesome with the two people in front of her!
