Lucas' Desperate Request

The class was over when finally Lucas got to get Nadia alone after she told everyone to leave after the class, which they reluctantly had to.

Lucas was enduring all the inappropriate comments they were whispering and laughing at each other while she took the class. If only he had the strength, he could have made them all shut up. But he knew he shouldn't waste his energy on these things while losing focus on what was more important.

However, he was yet again astonished by how beautifully and clearly his lover was explaining things and felt that there could be no teacher in the world who was better than her.

"Mother, that was a great class! I missed you teaching me like that. It felt like these kinds of things happened a long time ago," Lucas said with a sad smile as he hugged Nadia, getting himself comfortable as he felt the warmth of her supple body.

"Lucas…" Nadia felt her chest become heavy, hearing him say like that, and she couldn't even properly look him in the eyes, thinking about what she had done to him despite the love he had been showering on her.

Still, she gathered her bearings as she said, "Don't worry. I will teach you things that these idiots don't deserve to learn. Then one day, you will become an expert like me…no even better than me. I can't wait to see that day."

"Mother…" Lucas felt moved by her love and how much faith she had in him despite his cultivation being so weak.

He knew his cultivation was lacking because of the qi blockage in his dantian that no physician could fix. And as if Nadia read his mind, she said, "Don't worry too much about your cultivation. I will soon try to acquire the Six Petaled Golden Lotus and make sure you can normally cultivate without facing any problems."

This time Nadia was even more confident since she knew she was going to become a real queen, and that would mean she would also gain the power and resources to get whatever she wanted. Even if that was not enough, she was willing to sacrifice anything for Lucas since she had already come this far. Nothing could stop her determination to make sure Lucas will one day be the man he dreams of being.

But she knew that no matter what she did for him, she couldn't ever get rid of the heavy guilt in her heart, especially after breaking her promise to him on the day they came here.

"But will it work, mother? I don't want you doing anything dangerous to get such a precious item only to find out it won't work. We don't even know if it is really the solution since nobody could diagnose what is wrong with me," Lucas said with a downward gaze, wondering what he did to be born with such a pathetic condition.

Nadia caressed his hair as she said, "Do not worry, Lucas. It doesn't matter if it is the solution or not. We will keep trying everything we can to make sure you can live your life to the fullest. That is what matters to me the most. Now…tell me, what else is weighing on your mind? I noticed it the moment I saw you for class."

Lucas' expression became taut as he remembered Celia's wedding in a day or two. After great hesitation, he said, "Mother…can you help me with something? I know this might seem wrong of me to ask you this, but…I honestly don't know any other way and I—"

"Lucas…I love you more than my own life. You can ask me anything no matter how right or wrong, and I will do it for you," Nadia said earnestly with a fixed gaze.

Lucas felt more confident and relieved, seeing that she meant each and every word. He softly held her hands as he said, "It's…It's about Celia…She is getting married to Jiang very soon, and I-I don't want it to happen. I want to stop him from…destroying her life. She is very helpless about this since her family is in on it too. And…it is all my fault too as well."

"Lucas, don't say that. You haven't done anything wrong. But since you care so much about Celia, I will do what you want me to do. Did you have anything in mind?" Nadia asked with a narrowed gaze. She knew that Lucas and Celia were in love, and since she knew she had betrayed Lucas' love, she didn't want him to end up alone if something happened to Celia, just like her.

If there was a chance to save her, she would take it and make sure Lucas won't be alone.

Lucas' eyes became cold as he thought about Jiang and said, "I was hoping if you could get rid of his manhood…using a poison that I will concoct. All I need is for him to just take a sip, be it any drink, and he won't even notice what will happen to his manhood within a day," Lucas' expression became concerned as he said, "But don't do this if this is too risky. I don't want you getting in danger because of me…again. This is just my desperate attempt to try and save Celia."

Nadia raised her eyebrows, unable to believe that her once sweet and innocent Lucas was now actually planning to cripple someone's manhood. But she knew that he could not be blamed, especially after everything he had gone through over the past few weeks.

She knew this was definitely risky and very dangerous, with a high chance of getting caught unless…done in the right way that would increase her chances significantly. But that way would involve something that would go against her pride and beliefs.

But when she saw the helplessness and sadness in Lucas' eyes, all her hesitation disappeared as she said confidently, "Don't worry about it. Mother will help you with this. It is the least I can do to help your only friend."
