**Chapter 372 A Way to Break the Bond**

As Lily pondered the situation, a surge of fury coursed through her veins.

The very thought of the woman who had taken Lucien away from her ignited a flame of rage deep within her. She imagined confronting her, the desire to lash out almost overwhelming.

Celia, observing the storm brewing in her daughter’s eyes, gently placed her hand over Lily’s in a soothing gesture. “Lily, what if I told you that there exists a method to sever the mate bond between Lucien and Emma? Would you still wish for Lucien to be your mate?”

Lily’s breath caught in her throat, her heart racing as she gazed at her mother in disbelief. “Mother, are you truly serious?”

Could it be possible? A way to break a mate bond?

Celia nodded earnestly, her expression unwavering. “I assure you, I speak the truth. I have never misled you. However, you must consider that Lucien is already bound to Emma. If he were to become your mate, would you harbor any resentment towards him?”

It was a known truth that females often shied away from males who had already formed such a bond.

Had Lucien not been a formidable Rank 11 powerhouse, Celia would have never even entertained the idea of him becoming her daughter’s mate.

“Mother, this is Lucien we’re talking about. I could never bring myself to dislike him.”

From a young age, Lily had nurtured feelings for Lucien. No matter how he evolved or what challenges lay ahead, she felt an unshakeable connection to him, an unwavering loyalty that would not falter.

“Please, Mother, spare me the discouragement. Just tell me what I need to do so that Lucien can be mine.”

Celia’s gaze softened as she took in her daughter’s anxious expression, a smile creeping onto her lips. She retrieved a small vial from her storage band, the contents shimmering with an otherworldly glow.

“All you need to do is have Lucien drink this potion. It will dissolve the mate bond he shares with Emma.”

With a flourish, Celia produced a peculiar stone that resembled a bone, its surface smooth yet oddly textured.

“Once the bond between Lucien and Emma is broken, you must let his blood touch this stone. At that moment, he will become your mate. Dahlia assured me that once Lucien’s blood mingles with this stone, he will be bound to you, obedient to your every command.”

Lily’s hands trembled as she grasped the vial and the stone, her mind racing with disbelief. She had never imagined the Empire possessed such potent magic.

“Mother, are you absolutely certain this will work?”

“Without a doubt.”

Celia’s serious demeanor reinforced her words. “This was gifted to me by Dahlia, the human female. She claimed it was bestowed upon her by their god.”

“A human female?”

Lily’s astonishment deepened. “When did the Empire welcome a human female?”

Why had she been kept in the dark about this?

Celia recounted the tale of Dahlia in vivid detail, explaining her origins and her connection to their world. “Dahlia mentioned that she would help you find a way to get close to Lucien. And let’s not forget Drake Smith, the overlord of three domains. He’s also a Rank 11 powerhouse. Dahlia believes you could make him your mate as well.”

Drake Smith, the overlord of three domains?

Lily had heard whispers of his name but had never crossed paths with him. A Rank 11 powerhouse must possess strength comparable to Lucien’s, each formidable in their own right.

He carefully settled Emma onto the bed, his movements gentle as he sought to reassure her.

Opening his lightcore, he attempted to connect with Lucien through a video call, but the screen flickered with an error message, indicating the call could not be completed.

Emma’s heart raced as she watched Silas struggle to reach Lucien. A knot of worry twisted in her stomach.

“Is something truly wrong with Lucien?”

Determined, Emma pushed herself up, her mind set on finding him.

“Emy, please wait. I’ll try another way to reach Lucien and find out what’s going on. If I still can’t connect, I promise I’ll take you to him myself.”

As he spoke, Silas dialed a mysterious number, his expression serious.

When the call connected, Silas inquired about Lucien’s current state, his heart pounding in anticipation.

Moments later, the screen displayed a video of Lucien, seated on a battleship, his demeanor serious yet unscathed.

Silas exhaled a breath he hadn’t realized he was holding.

He turned the lightcore towards Emma, a sense of relief washing over him. “Look, this is Lucien right now. He’s perfectly fine. You can relax.”

Whenever they embarked on missions, they utilized a specialized system that allowed them to communicate with headquarters as long as they remained within the Empire’s borders.

However, this system faltered beyond the Empire’s realm, leaving them vulnerable to the unknown.
