Chapter 20 20. A Game (R18)
Hearing her trying to deny it, Lucius just scoffed.
"Don't play games with me. Since I've come here do you think it was just by chance? Of course I know everything, Reina ."
If Reina was scared before, then she was petrified now.
This was the first time Lucius had called her by her name.
It had to be known that she didn't even tell the bandits her real name. Before now she had only been operating under aliases. Seeing that he knew even her deepest secret was enough to assure how thorough Lucius's information was so she didn't doubt that he knew of her collusion with demons.
Reina had long since been at the peak of 3rd class fighters and was looking for a way to break through.
It was already strange for a no name bandit like her to have such outrageous strength. The fact she could get this far with no teaching or guidance showed just how terrifying her talent was but it was also because of her talent that she was unwilling to just remain a 3rd class fighter her entire life. So when a group of demons came offering resources and training methods in reward for her cooperation she didn't hesitate and took it.
But dealing with demons wasn't just all benefits.
It was a major sin to even associate with them, much less someone like her who was actively smuggling things for them.
Even If someone killed a noble, they could eventually escape and hide but those who teamed up with demons would be forever hunted down
From the countless aeons of conflicts with demons, the human empire had learned that the best way to deal with demons was to mercilessly punish the traitors!
No matter how far you tried to run or hide there would be no place for you on the human content.
Even a force like the revolutionary army couldn't hide, so what could a mere mountain bandit do?
The second her collusion with demons was exposed, she would be as good as dead!
Thinking of the horrific torture awaiting her at the hands of the Inquisition, Reina couldn't help but go a little pale.
Seeing her pale face, Lucius knew that Reina's resistance had all but crumbled and now was to push for the final stretch.
"Of course, it's not like things are completely hopeless. I can give you a way out as long as you do me a little favour..."
In that moment, Lucius spat out such a villainous line that even he was slightly impressed
He could see the despair in Reina's eyes turn into subtle hesitation and with that, Lucius knew that he had basically won, all that was left was the finishing touches.
"How about it?" Asked Lucius
"I won't take advantage of you. We'll just play a little game."
"I get to touch your body for one minute and long as you keep quiet the entire time you win. I'll let you go and forget anything that happened here."
As Reina heard this, she frowned for a little.
"Are.. are you being serious."
Hearing this Lucius smiled.
"Of course I'm being serious. For me, it's just a little game. If I win, fair enough, but if I lose, so be it. As long as you can win I promise you I'll let you go but if I win... hehehe.... we'll cross that bridge when we get there."
As soon as Reina heard Lucius's vague words, her body instinctively shivered.
"Of course, you don't have to agree to my conditions. I can always just deal with you like any other traitor and hand you over to the Empire and the Inquisition. I won't force you. The choice is all yours''
As soon as Reina heard this, she wanted to scold Lucius for being so shameless.
What choice was there? If she met the inquisition she would never have a good end.
This boy was quite clearly trying to get her body yet he was still putting on the airs of some noble saint!
So shameless!
What made Reina even more helpless was that she had no choice but to fall into this handsome devil's palms!
Sighing, Reina just accepted it, getting up off Lucius and standing in front of him. But as Reina looked at Lucius expectantly Lucius just looked at her with a strange gaze.
"I told you that I would have to touch your body. You don't expect me to do this with your clothes on, do you? strip."
As Reina heard this snorted in annoyance, but that didn't hinder her actions as she slowly removed her clothing.
As Reina's clothes hit the floor, Lucius forgot to breathe for a second.
Her skin was a charming wheat colour that seemed to further accentuate her curves. Befitting of a warrior, Lucius could see the faint scars across her body, highlighting the countless fights she must have been in over the years, but instead of taking away from her charm, it only seemed to add to it.
Her perky breasts and plump as made Lucius's body heat up just by watching it
Lucius could even see a faint blush start to form on her cheeks as a result of the obvious embarrassment.
Now that things had gotten to this point, Lucius knew he couldn't hold himself back.
He walked towards Reina and rolled up his sleeves.
As he did so, he just gave one mental instruction.
'System, buy one sensitivity potion.'
<Sensitivity potion 50LP>
For a period of time greatly increases the sensitivity of anything that comes in contact with the potion (the buyer of the potion can toggle his own sensitivity on and off. No one except the buyer can toggle this option)
Yes. Lucius was going to cheat.
As for playing fair? That was all utter bullshit.
He was here to test out the limits of his system after all. How could he do that without cheating?
