It had been nearly three hours since Lucifer had left the Ducal Palace in Serenity Town.
Yet Mia was still frantically searching for him inside the Ducal Palace, with no trace of him to be found.
Mia had checked Lucifer's penthouse room, the artifact room attached to it, and even the various shelters built in the orchards. She had searched for him in the stables of Mephis, Opaline, and Ysoria as well… but there was no sign of Lucifer anywhere.
This was exactly why she was having a strong premonition that something was wrong.
She understood that whenever Lucifer left without informing anyone, it meant the matter was serious.
The first time Lucifer had left without telling anyone—abandoning the seal in Pinewatch Village—he had eradicated the entire Asher family.
The second time he had left Westirifer Duchy without informing anyone, he had killed the City of Death, Morthveil City, and its Pope—Rotveil.
And now, today… this was the third time Lucifer had left without informing a single soul.
From Lucifer's behavior, Mia had begun to understand that he never did such things without reason… and whenever he did, the reason behind it was always something big.
This time, Mia wanted to know exactly what the matter was. Behind her curiosity was also a genuine reason.
After all, she was Lucifer's mother. Which mother wouldn't be worried about her son?
To the rest of the world, Lucifer might seem like a miracle or an anomaly, but to Mia, Lucifer was simply her beloved son.
She had already lost him once and found him again… so how could she allow him to be away from her even for a single moment?
Because of this, Mia continued searching for Lucifer a little longer. Once she confirmed that he was not in the Ducal Palace, she decided to speak to Allen, Jasper, and Jeff about the matter… and if needed, to Jasper's daughters and the other concubines as well.
Because Lucifer was not the only one who had suddenly disappeared from the Ducal Palace. He had also taken Crotivia, one of Jasper's main wives, with him.
Looking at it, Mia had no issue with Lucifer and Crotivia being together. After all, after leaving the Lustbound Heaven Kingdom, Jasper and his entire family had joined the Velmora family in Westirifer and had now become eternal family members of the Velmora clan.
What was actually troubling Mia was what exactly Crotivia and Lucifer had talked about.
What was it that, after hearing it, Crotivia had tightly hugged Lucifer? And what was it that had caused Lucifer's anger to rise so sharply—the anger Mia had sensed as he was leaving?
Because of this, a tired and exhausted Mia returned to the dining hall. At that moment, everyone there was so drained after the group orgy that they didn't even have the energy to go back to their rooms and had simply fallen asleep right there.
Upon entering the dining hall, Mia first went to the sleeping Jeff. She saw that even now, Jeff's cock was buried inside the pussy of Jasper's daughter, Nibara. They were in a spooning position, with him holding one of her breasts from behind, and both were sleeping peacefully.
Right beside them lay Elder Guntor, who was balls-deep inside the pussy of Jasper's concubine, Rephalia, while sucking on both of her breasts as he slept.
But none of this affected Mia, because three hours ago, when Lucifer was still in this very dining hall, Mia herself had been part of the orgy and had been engaged in a foursome with Elder Guntor, Jeff, and Tristian.
After giving Jeff a few more moments of peaceful sleep, Mia touched his shoulder and began shaking him vigorously to wake him up.
"Jeff… wake up… Jeff…"
When Jeff's sleep finally broke due to Mia's repeated shaking, he saw Mia's large breasts bouncing inside her gown… and the sight instantly stirred his cock, which was still buried inside Nibara's pussy. On the other side, seeing Mia's heavenly boobs bouncing right in front of his eyes, Jeff grabbed them with both hands and started squeezing them.
But he had no idea how badly this action of his would backfire.
The moment Jeff groped Mia's breasts, her anger shot through the roof. She reached down, pulled Jeff's cock out of Nibara's pussy, and gripped it so tightly with her hand that the pain made Jeff lose his senses. He immediately let go of Mia's breasts and clutched his own cock, trying to soothe it.
After all, Mia had promised Lucifer that she would never kiss anyone else nor let anyone else play with her breasts.
In a way, Mia's breasts and her kisses were Lucifer's exclusive property… with the sole exception being Jason, whom Lucifer treated like his younger brother. Only he, apart from Lucifer, was allowed to drink Mia's milk.
Seeing Mia's reaction, Jeff became furious. He pointed a finger at her and asked, "Mia… what the hell was that for? Do you want to kill me… or kill my future kids?"
"You bloody whore bitch!"
Seeing Jeff's anger, Mia replied, "Daughter fucker… who gave you the right to grope my breasts? Don't you know they are my Lucifer's exclusive property? Don't you know that I promised him my kiss and my breasts belong only to him… and the sole exception is your son, Jason?"
"So to get free from your grip, I had to do something, and so I did."
Hearing Mia's words, Jeff said, "Couldn't you have woken me up gently?"
In response, Mia gently took Jeff's cock in her hands again, stroked it, and planted a kiss on its crown with a 'Plop… Slurp… Plop' sound before saying, "There, is that better now? Come on, get up… I need your help."
Seeing Mia's pink lips kissing his cock, Jeff asked, "What help do you need?"
Mia replied, "Jeff… Luci has gone somewhere without telling me. You're my best friend, right? So please go and find him and bring him back."
Hearing Mia's coquettish voice, Jeff's cock began to harden once again.
But he controlled his emotions and said, "Mia… your flirtatious voice has no effect on me… but I will still go and search for Lucifer. After all, he is my nephew."
Hearing Jeff's words, Mia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's more like it… Now go and fulfill your duty as an uncle."
After saying this, she stood up from beside Jeff and was about to go to Allen when she suddenly saw Zyrelia emerge from Allen's shadow and stand beside him.
Seeing Zyrelia appear so suddenly near Allen, Mia quickly walked over and asked her, "Dear Zyrelia… why have you come to Allen at this hour of the night?"
Hearing Mia's voice, Zyrelia turned her attention toward her. She nodded at Mia and said, "Grandma… I have a message for Uncle Allen from Dad, and I came here to deliver it. After that, I have to return to Dad."
Hearing Zyrelia, Mia asked, "Do you know where Luci is?"
Zyrelia nodded and replied, "Dad is in Lumera. He has gone to the Holygrill family's residence."
Hearing this, Mia continued questioning her, "Was Crotivia with Luci as well?"
Zyrelia answered, "Yes, Grandma… Dad was carrying Aunt Crotivia in his arms."
Mia asked once more, "And what is Lucifer's message?"
Zyrelia replied, "Dad told me to inform Uncle Allen that he won't be able to return before the Fertility Ceremony Festival. There is a very slight possibility that he might not even be able to participate in the festival… but if he finishes his work before the festival, he will return immediately."
Hearing Zyrelia's words, Mia was deeply shocked. She couldn't understand what had happened that forced Lucifer to leave the Ducal Palace so suddenly.
Lost in these thoughts, Mia grabbed Zyrelia's shoulders and asked her in a tearful voice, "Daughter… what work has come up for Luci that he didn't even think it necessary to tell me and just left like this?"
"If you know anything, please tell me… Otherwise, take me with you to my son Lucifer as well."
Seeing Mia crying like this, Zyrelia said, "Grandmother… even I don't know why Dad called me. But there must be some reason.
When Dad summoned me to Lumera, he was extremely angry… but that anger was directed at someone else, about whom I have no information.
And I cannot take you to Dad, because he does not want any of you to face any kind of trouble."
"As you said… you will convey my message to Uncle Allen. So I'll take my leave now."
With that, before Mia could say anything more, Zyrelia disappeared once again into the world of shadows.
