Chapter 52 52. The Plan
400 to 800.
800 to 1600
If 1600 Love Points couldn't move you, what about 5000? What about 10000?
As for Morals?
Sorry, but in front of such an amount, Morals were temporary, only Love Points were forever!
10,000 Love Points was the realm of purple and golden grade talents.
Unfortunately the god had read him like a book and as such , Lucius's plan to earn some easy money could only go up in smoke.
The god didn't want to get scammed by Lucius and Lucius also completely looked down on the 400 love Points so he could only forget it.
"Lucius, what's the problem? You just stopped in the middle of the street all of a sudden."
"Ah.. that? It's nothing. I was just thinking about something."
He realistically considered selling them out so when Lucius saw Alice's beautiful curious face in front of him he felt a little guilty.
He really wanted to scold himself.
With such a beauty , how could you ever think about selling her out.
Such an innocent girl had to be protected!
But just as Lucius had these morally good thoughts, an ominous sound went off in his head
[Ding! Conditions met New mission detected!]
[Buy and use an Instance Inducer.
Reward: 450 Love Points ]
'Oh piss off!' Thought Lucius
He really didn't want to deal with this annoying god any longer!
…..
"Ahhh…"
Getting in his room, Lucius lied on his bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Lucius had enjoyed himself a bit today.
It had still confirmed something for him. Shopping with ladies was never an easy task.
Fortunately both of the girls he was with weren't used to spending big.
Alice came from a small noble family that's Weber even as wealthy as most merchants and Camilla was raised as a soldier and and instant for. The revolution that army where she barely even had any money of her own to begin with
If they were replaced with another pair of noble ladies with more high end tastes then Lucius would definitely shed tears if he wanted to keep playing up the image of a big man.
Of course, besides the enjoyable afternoon, the whole ordeal in the morning wasn't that pleasant of an experience.
He had run into his fellow villain but instead of becoming allies they had instead become hostile.
But then again, it's not necessarily a bad thing…
At the end of the day, ever since Lucius was given the task to capture the heart of Veronica, Xander's fiancé, he and Xander were destined to not get along.
For the potential golden grade talent and Love Points Lucius would work hard to charm the heroine by any means necessary and as the saying goes, 'If ain't broke, don't fix it'
For someone like Veronica, the way the protagonist had eventually won her heart was through the initial conflict with Xander.
Lucius didn't have to reinvent the wheel.
He could just follow in Landon's footsteps and do the same thing. Albeit with his reduced strength, there would be parts that he couldn't imitate, the general premise would still be the same.
Regardless if it was today or if it was tomorrow Lucius was destined to get into conflict with and humiliate Xander.
Unless Xander could happily hand over his fiancé to him the fight was inevitable.
Based on this fact Lucius thought about his situation a little longer.
He made up a plan in his mind about how to follow the steps of the protagonist to the best of his abilities.
Lucius brainstormed for several more minutes but it wasn't long before his eyelids started to get heavy
"Yawn!"
Lucius rubbed his eyes.
He hadn't created a perfect plan but at least now he had something. He would be much more confined in completing the mission for Veronica Beaumont than he was even only a few seconds ago
I've done enough, for now, let's just get some sleep
...
The next day
Lucius could be seen walking on his way towards the classroom.
He had just finished with the entrance ceremony for the Academy and it was definitely an impressive sight.
As the academy for the human race and more importantly the academy sponsored and funded by the Empire, this wasn't just about traditions and heritage, it was also a matter of face.
The students attending Sanctuary weren't just the talented children of the nobles from the empire but also princes and Princess along with all other nobles from the countless vassal states underneath the empire.
It was as much a tradition as it was a way to instil a sense of awe and shock in the kinds of children from other vassal states .
As long as Sanctuary showed its amazing background and power and as long as the Empire itself remained strong, it would be hard for these vassal states to have any funny ideas .
Especially with the daunting image that Sanctuary would leave in the kind of all its graduates which would often be the high ranking members of these vassal states .
The opening ceremony had gathered thousands of students and was a wonderful display.
The magic tower and magic department of sanctuary collaborated to show a grand scene of illusions of magic, displaying a fantastical scene of a giant Silver lion, the symbol of the empire, walking along the grounds as beautiful silver roses bloomed with each word spoken by the people on stage.
It was a sight one would never forget.
For Lucius he felt a little awed and even started sweating a little.
For just a little display the empire didn't care and displayed such powerful magic.
It was just a display so there was no malicious intent but what if there was?
Those thousands of stunned would be trapped in an illusion with no way out.
Lucius couldn't help but scold the Revolutionary Army for their crazy thoughts.
These are the guys you want to destroy?
It's no wonder that the heads of the revolutionary army had been assassinated several times and even the mighty Sirius Vexx was killed!
