Enigmatic Women

Lucien and Lust look at each other thoughtfully, leaving Daisy, Donna, and Wrath confused.

"You can't deny that she looks more and more suspicious." Lust speaks out loud.

"I can't believe this; otherwise, everything I have lived through so far has been a lie." He responds.

Lust shakes her head. "You may be wrong about that. We have to believe that she had a good reason."

"What reason would justify all that?" He asks.

She smiles at him and opens her arms. "This..."

Before Lucien can ask, Lust explains. "When your dad said your mom was dead, you just focused on getting strong to avenge her. If you knew she was captive, you would try to rescue her, and that would certainly end badly for everyone."

She continues. "But then he told you that she was alive, and because of that, you agreed to make a contract with me; that is, all your father did was to motivate you in the right way."

"Are you defending his actions?" Donna asks in an angry tone.
