Chapter 26 - 26. Lucius's sacrifice

It seemed that the first time he had sex with a heroine, he gained a significant amount of love points, like a double XP bonus, but after that, it wouldn't be as impactful. However, this made sense—if merely having sex was all it took to gain love points, it wouldn't be called the Heroine Capture System.

Regardless, Lucius was extremely satisfied with the number of Love Points he had accumulated from the whole ordeal.

[Love Points: 1230]

His stock of love points had finally broken through the 1000 mark, thanks to Reina. He had managed to earn over 900 love points in just one sitting. Although this could be considered a special event with the first-time sex bonus, it was still a significant amount.

This was enough to purchase some low-tier talents or items that could be extremely helpful in the shop. However, Lucius knew that now was not the time to indulge in shopping, even with his substantial earnings.

Lucius saw Reina looking at him with expectant eyes, as if waiting for him to do something, but he just snorted. After nearly being drained last night, this vixen still wasn't satisfied. Although Lucius secretly wanted more fun, he knew there were important tasks left to address.

If he left everything to Camilla while he was indulging himself, it would be too shameless, even for someone as thick-skinned as him. So, with that in mind, Lucius suppressed his desires and changed into a new uniform. His old one, after such a messy and wild night, was clearly out of commission.

Within minutes, a handsome black-haired man with ruby-red eyes stood in a white academy uniform. Now dressed and ready, Lucius didn't waste much time and stepped out of the room.

As he stepped out, he saw Camilla waiting attentively at the door, as always.

"Good morning, Young Leader."

"Good morning, Camilla," replied Lucius.

Although he greeted Camilla as he usually did each morning, he could feel a cold chill hidden in her eyes. Lucius wasn't naive; he knew the cause and could only sigh.

Ah, the consequences of my own actions…

Although he knew the reason behind Camilla's demeanor, he still had to play along. A slightly concerned look appeared on his face as he looked at her.

"Camilla, for some reason you seem strangely off today. Is something the matter?"

The cold beauty's face shifted slightly before she shook her head.

"No, Young Leader. I'm certain that nothing is wrong."

Hearing this, Lucius pressed on.

"Are you sure? Camilla, you're still my closest confidant. If something is wrong, you can always speak to me."

As Lucius spoke, he could see the cracks starting to form in her appearance. He knew he had achieved his goal; all that was left was to address the young woman's anger.

"Young Leader, you just said I'm your closest confidant, so tell me—why did you, with such a vulgar and disgusting woman… why did you do such a thing?"

Lucius scratched his head awkwardly. "Originally, I was only planning to tease her a little, but I'm a man, you know? I've got needs, so…"

As these words left Lucius's mouth, he watched in real-time as Camilla's gaze grew colder.

If possible, this would definitely be a -LP moment. Fortunately, his system didn't have such harsh requirements, or Lucius would be heartbroken.

"It's just a joke, Camilla. I won't lie—there was some lust and desire involved, but who am I? I'm the head of the revolutionary army. How can my vision be so short-sighted and myopic? Behind it all was a grander purpose!"

Camilla was a bit doubtful but still listened. After all, Lucius was the charismatic leader she had admired, and he had not let her down until now.

"Camilla, you know we're going to the capital. While we're there, it would be hard to use the support of the revolutionary army too often in case we get exposed. The forces and powers in the capital have been entrenched for so long that if they investigate, there's a high chance we'd be discovered.

But Reina is different.

Although her background is rather grey and murky, it's not enough to be persecuted like a revolutionary. In addition to her strength, she could be of great use to us.

With a strong, talented fighter like her, it would only take a little effort for her to form a small force we could use openly in the capital.

For such a vital position, their loyalty must not be in question. And since ancient times, the easiest way to tie someone to your cause has been through the bedroom.

If the price paid for this has to be my body, then so be it!"

Hearing this, Camilla's eyes widened. "Young Leader… you…"

"Yes, I sacrificed my innocence for this!"

Camilla was stunned. Although it was shocking, the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

This was the Young Leader she was familiar with—the one who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice anything for the revolutionary cause, no matter the price.

The one who had no scruples about sacrificing his body when needed.
