Chapter 69: Villain Simulator, Ch 69 (R-18)
Lucas swiftly squeezed through the gap beside the barn. His small, childlike body now became a rare advantage.
Hiding behind a pile of hay, he observed the situation inside.
Fortunately, luck was on his side. There was only one man and one woman inside. The woman wouldn\'t be difficult to deal with, but the man looked sturdy and sharp, clearly not someone easy to handle.
However, the most important thing was Eula. Seeing that she was unharmed, Lucas finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he whispered to himself:
"Now, who is the prey?"
---
In the barn, Eula wasn\'t the only kidnapped child.
In the corner, seven or eight other children were curled up. The oldest was only about twelve or thirteen years old, while the youngest was just four or five.
Of course, here, they had already lost their identity as "people." They had been categorized and marked with different prices.
The younger children were to be sold as someone else\'s child, while the pretty girls would be sold as servants or sent to places of ill repute.
As for those children who didn\'t look as appealing, they would still be "put to good use."
The woman who had kidnapped Eula was currently standing by a stove, brewing some kind of concoction. The cauldron emitted a pungent smell, and the dark purple liquid inside bubbled continuously.
This potion could blind a child, making them more pitiable and thus better suited to beg. Blind children could earn more money on the streets.
Blinding them had many benefits: it didn\'t cripple their mobility, and there was no need to worry about them escaping.
Of course, they could only make more money while they were young. Once they grew older, their fully developed organs would bring in another source of income.
"Let me see, which one should I choose?" The woman shook the potion in her hand, as if she were picking livestock at the market, scanning the line of children in front of her. "You\'ll do."
Like lifting a chick, she grabbed a frail girl and pressed her to the ground, carefully preparing to pour the potion into the girl\'s eyes.
The girl, sensing danger, struggled desperately, but her thin arms were no match for the woman\'s strength.
"Don\'t be afraid, it won\'t hurt much," the woman said with a twisted smile. "Such beautiful eyes... even blind, they\'ll surely be lovely."
Just as the potion was about to drop, a hand suddenly patted the woman\'s back.
"Can\'t you see I\'m busy?"
The woman instinctively turned her head, only to find a young boy standing behind her, holding a cup of the same dark purple potion.
Before the woman could react, Lucas splashed the potion directly onto her face.
The scalding liquid poured into her eyes, and the intense burning pain made her clutch her face and scream in agony.
"My eyes... my eyes... ugh!"
Just as she started to speak, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her tongue. Lucas had pried her mouth open with a dagger and poured the remaining potion from the cauldron into her mouth.
The toxic liquid quickly burned her throat, and black, foul-smelling blood oozed from her mouth.
The horrifying scene stunned the children. Lucas glanced at them and said calmly, "What are you standing there for? Run!"
The children finally snapped out of their shock and scrambled to flee.
At that moment, the leader of the kidnappers, drawn by the noise, rushed over. Seeing his subordinate writhing on the ground and the kidnapped children running everywhere, his heart sank. He shouted, "Stand still!"
The children froze in fear. The leader pulled the woman up from the ground and frowned. "What the hell happened?"
"Ah... there... was... a boy..." The woman struggled to speak, her mouth full of the poisoned liquid.
At that moment, Lucas, who had been lying in wait, leaped down from the rafters, aiming his dagger at the back of the leader\'s neck.
This move should have been flawless, but the leader, who was quite strong, sensed the attack and quickly dodged to the side.
The sharp blade missed its lethal target and only pierced the leader\'s shoulder.
Shocked, the leader saw that his attacker was just a boy. The pain in his shoulder enraged him, and he grabbed Lucas, slamming him hard onto the ground.
"Get lost!"
Lucas was still just a child, and his strength was no match for the burly man. He gritted his teeth through the pain and rolled into a nearby haystack.
"Trying to escape?" The leader wasn\'t about to let him go. He rushed to the haystack, intent on pulling Lucas out.
But just as he reached into the hay, there was a sudden "swish," and a pitchfork shot out from the haystack.
The pitchfork moved too quickly for the leader to react, and his hand was impaled by its sharp prongs, leaving several gaping holes.
"Looks like my luck\'s pretty good. Sorry, uncle..." Lucas stepped out from the haystack, holding the pitchfork and smiling. "You\'re already dead."
He hadn\'t expected to find a pitchfork in the hay at the last second.
The reason he hadn\'t bought a spear at the blacksmith earlier was because carrying such a large weapon would have slowed him down. A pitchfork wasn\'t a proper weapon, but it was more than enough to deal with this enemy.
"You little brat...!" The leader looked at the wound on his hand, his fury growing. "I\'m going to break your arms and legs and throw you out to beg!"
Just a kid with a pitchfork...
A kid with a pitchfork...
Wait, what?
The leader looked down in confusion. At some point, the boy\'s pitchfork had already pierced his chest.
Even in his final moments, the leader never realized when the pitchfork had entered his body.
...
On the other side, Eula, who had been in despair, suddenly felt a glimmer of hope due to the commotion.
Could it be... someone came to save us?
But who could it be?
"Eula... sis..." Lucas, bruised and battered, stood in front of Eula, forcing a big smile. "I\'ve come to save you."
The girl had always thought that the classic hero-saving-the-damsel scenario only happened in forbidden romance novels.
But now, it had become a reality.
Even if it meant risking his life, he had come to save her. He really was the man she could entrust her life to... well, boy for now.
"You must have been so scared," Lucas hurriedly cut the ropes binding Eula and comforted her. "It\'s all over now."
"I... I wasn\'t scared at all!" Eula retorted, still trying to act tough. "I knew you would come for me."
"Why were you so sure?" Lucas asked, genuinely puzzled.
After all, he was just a nine-year-old kid.
"Didn\'t you say you will marry me in the future?"
Eula raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don\'t even rescue your fiancée when she\'s kidnapped, you\'d be a pretty pathetic excuse for a man."
"Is that so?" Lucas smiled helplessly. "Good thing I came, then."
"But..." Eula suddenly pulled Lucas into her arms and softly said, "Even if you didn\'t come to save me, I wouldn\'t have blamed you. If something happened to you... what would I do?"
During the time she was kidnapped, Eula had indeed fantasized that Lucas would come to save her.
But she quickly dismissed the thought. She\'d rather endure harm herself than see him in danger.
Yet, here he was! He had really come!
From this moment, twelve-year-old Eula made up her mind.
No matter what, she would become the next head of the Lawrence family. That way, no one could stop her from being with her brother!
"Let\'s go," Lucas grabbed Eula\'s hand. "We need to bring the other children back to the city as well."
"Yes..." Eula glanced back at the barn and frowned slightly. "Is there some kind of noise inside?"
"It\'s probably..." Lucas smiled faintly, "just some rats."
In the depths of the barn, the woman whose eyes and throat had been poisoned writhed on the ground like a maggot, her hands and feet severed by a dagger.
In the darkness, faint glimmers appeared. The hungry rats in the barn wouldn\'t pass up such a feast.
...
[Mission Complete: Retrieve Eula]
[Reward: Talent – Cloak and Dagger (Blue)]
[Effect: Reduces the chance of being detected during stealth by 50%. Launching a sneak attack on an unaware enemy deals double damage.]
[Bonus Reward: Dagger of the Unfilial]
[Grade: C]
[Effect: Maintains sharpness and doesn\'t dull easily.]
Was this reward given because the mission mostly involved sneak attacks?
But what\'s with "Dagger of the Unfilial"?
Well, since it\'s a weapon from the simulator, Lucas didn\'t complain too much. Anyway, he wasn\'t that skilled with short weapons, so he\'d probably only use it during sneak attacks.
[Entering Text Mode]
[After you and Eula returned home, you were scolded for getting injured. To avoid exposing your abilities, you didn\'t mention what happened today.]
[Some time later, Mondstadt soldiers discovered four decomposing bodies near the barn outside the city. One of the female bodies had been gnawed down to the bone. According to initial assessments, they were involved in the recent child abduction cases. The cause of death is still under investigation.]
[Age 10: Perhaps due to the trauma of the kidnapping, Eula began practicing swordsmanship even more diligently. You knew she was working hard to fulfill your promise.]
[However, it still wouldn\'t be easy for Eula to succeed as the head of the Lawrence family. In a thousand years, there had only been two female heads. For a woman to become the head of the Lawrence family, she would have to work much harder.]
[Of course, you didn\'t plan to let Eula struggle on her own. Even if you couldn\'t help her directly, you could help clear away the "obstacles" in her way.]
[If the next generation didn\'t have any strong competitors, it would be much easier for Eula to become the successor.]
[As a reincarnator, aside from retaining combat skills and spear techniques, you also possessed extensive experience as a playboy. You knew exactly how to lead people astray.]
[Age 11: By intentionally hiding your talents, you didn\'t stand out among the younger generation in your family. But thanks to your charming personality, you thrived socially, making many "friends" and becoming adept at identifying their preferences and weaknesses.]
[Lutherford Lawrence, thirteen years old. Although his martial arts skills were average, his academic performance was exceptional, making him a formidable rival for Eula. After you casually gifted him a few books about rogue heroes, he became obsessed and lost all interest in his studies, even declaring that he wanted to become a novelist.]
How hilarious, a novelist? Not even a dog would choose that career!
Lucas rolled his eyes. Was the simulator version of him trying to bring down all the promising young talents by leading them astray?
[Age 12: You met Gray Lawrence, whose talent in economics was excellent. If he became the future head of the family, the Lawrence family\'s financial reports would likely look much better every year.]
[But that was only if. After you took him to a few gambling houses, his interest in numbers and business shifted entirely to dice and cards.]
[Age 13: Molit Lawrence, only one year older than you. His talent in swordsmanship rivaled Eula\'s, and he never neglected his physical training. Every time you saw his 6\'2" frame and bulging muscles, you wondered if he was really only fourteen.]
[You quickly became close with Molit and secretly told him about a "good place" that would allow him to work out to his heart\'s content.]
[When he came out of that place glowing with pink lights and with a look of pure satisfaction, you knew this one was done for too.]
[Half a year later, Molit had withered away to a skinny reed and had picked up some "shameful" afflictions.]
[Age 14: Just like in your past life, you once again became a playboy. Although you couldn\'t wield the same influence as Eberhart did in Mondstadt, thanks to your noble birth, good looks, and honeyed words, you still became quite popular with the ladies.]
[Even after a thousand years, it seemed that wealth and appearance were still the ultimate weapons in attracting women.]
[Of course, this wasn\'t because you were heartless. Right now, Eula was the only one in your heart. You were merely using the "First Glass of Red Wine" talent to absorb strength from your admirers.]
[If Eula was destined to become the "light" of the Lawrence family, then you would become the "shadow" protecting that light. Even if you couldn\'t regain the overwhelming power of your previous life, you couldn\'t allow Eula to leave you too far behind.]
[Through both your efforts, Eula had already become a key figure for the family\'s future. As for you, you were seen as nothing more than a useless playboy.]
[Naturally, Eula couldn\'t understand your "good intentions," and the two of you drifted further and further apart. Every time she saw you, she would avoid you, her gaze tinged with complexity.]
[Even so, you still believe that Eula hasn\'t forgotten the promise she made.]
[It\'s just that she can\'t understand you right now. One day, she will realize your good intentions. For now, the most important thing is to clear obstacles and accumulate strength.]
[Age 15: Your decadent behavior had long caused much gossip in the Lawrence family, and those inexplicably fallen prodigies seemed to have mysterious ties to you.]
[Finally, one day, the scandal of you toying with a noble family\'s daughter was exposed. That noble actually brought his daughter to the Lawrence family estate to confront you.]
[Your father, Schubert, was furious. He even demanded that you marry the girl as an apology, or else you would face severe punishment. In response, you decided...]
[1. Agree to marry her.]
[2. Accept punishment.]
"Of course I\'ll choose the second option!" Lucas quickly said, "I\'m going to marry Eula!"
[How thick-skinned of you to say that...] the system retorted.
[You refused to marry the girl, insisting that everything had been consensual. This only further enraged your father, who immediately decided to enforce family law and exile you from Mondstadt for three years as punishment.]
[In front of the noble father and daughter, Schubert used the "family law" to beat you six or seven dozen times. It was only when the nobleman could no longer bear to watch that he agreed to settle the matter with compensation.]
[Your strength far exceeded your father\'s, but you knew you couldn\'t fight back. He always upheld the grace and discipline of nobility, and he couldn\'t tolerate your "decadence."]
[As a result of the punishment, you were left with serious injuries and had to recuperate in your room.]
[That night, your father came to your room. You were sulking and ignored him, but he quietly applied medicine to your wounds. His touch was far gentler than the strikes he delivered earlier.]
["Son, I know you must hate me," Schubert said as he tended to you. "But I\'ve had to punish you harshly because over the years, you\'ve caused too much trouble. I\'ve covered for you many times, but this time you went too far."]
[You realized then that it had been a long time since you\'d had such a conversation with your father.]
[You couldn\'t help but think of your father from your previous life, Ingobert, the former head of the Lawrence family, who had only spoken to you like this once—on his deathbed.]
["Once you\'ve recovered from your injuries, I\'ll send you to study at a military academy in Snezhnaya for three years," Schubert continued. "When you return, there will be even greater responsibilities waiting for you."]
[You didn\'t resist. Given the current situation, laying low and using the time to further your education seemed like the best option. At this point, there were no competitors around Eula who posed a significant threat.]
[Although the family law punishment was painful, it had actually helped you. Those in the family who had intended to use this opportunity to hold you accountable were forced to back off due to your severe injuries.]
[Perhaps this was also part of your father\'s plan.]
[For someone used to a life of indulgence, being bedridden was incredibly boring. But what bothered you most was that Eula hadn\'t visited you at all.]
[Could it be that she had truly given up on you? You found yourself occasionally wondering.]
[A hundred days to recover from broken bones. After about three months of recuperation, you were mostly healed. Tonight, you packed your belongings, as tomorrow was the day you would leave for Snezhnaya.]
[During this time, you had thought about going to see Eula, but you knew that given your current circumstances, it was impossible to meet her.]
[You lay by the window, gazing at the full moon in the sky. The next time you would see a full moon in your homeland might be three years from now. By then, the distance between you and Eula might grow even further.]
[For the first time, you began to doubt your "plan"—had you made a mistake?]
[Just as you were about to go to sleep, a hand suddenly grabbed the windowsill. Before you could react, a slim figure had already climbed in through the window.]
[Forcing entry into the immersive mode.]
Along with the figure entering the room, a faint chill also swept in.
Standing before Lucas was a tall, striking blue-haired girl—a blend of beauty and elegance—Eula Lawrence, the very person Lucas had been striving for all this time.
By now, Eula was over eighteen, and compared to the last time they met, she had shed all traces of her youthful naivety.
Of course, the most obvious change was her nearly perfect figure, shaped by rigorous training and a diet rich in nutritious food.
Eighteen years old, growing more impressive by the year.
"Eu... Eula!"
Was she here to see me off because I\'m leaving tomorrow?
Lucas\'s heart swelled with emotion. He spread his arms, eager to experience the warmth of his sister\'s embrace.
However, all he heard was a sharp "smack."
Lucas felt a stinging sensation on his cheek as Eula, without saying a word, delivered a hard slap to his face.
Do you realize how much emotional damage a slap from your sister can cause?
"What was that sound?"
From downstairs, his mother\'s voice called out, "Lucas, are you okay?"
"No... nothing!" Lucas quickly replied. "I just... slapped a mosquito."
"Strange..." his mother muttered, "It\'s autumn already. Why are there still mosquitoes?"
"Eula..." Lucas rubbed his burning cheek and said helplessly, "Did you come all the way here in the middle of the night just to hit me?"
"I\'ve been wanting to slap you like this for the past three months," Eula bit her lip, her pale cheeks tinged with a hint of red. "You dared to do something like this—saying you\'d marry me once I became the head of the family, but then... you spend your days flirting with other girls! Have you forgotten the promise we made all those years ago?"
"I haven\'t forgotten for a single day!"
Lucas quickly explained, "There\'s a reason why I\'ve been doing all this..."
"You don\'t need to explain. I know what you\'ve been doing behind the scenes," Eula sighed and said, "Lutherford, Gray, Molit... They were all once promising young talents of the family. But for various reasons, they fell into bad habits and are now ruined. These things... are all connected to you, aren\'t they?"
Caught off guard by her directness, Lucas fell silent for a moment before nodding. "You\'re right, I was behind all of that. But they couldn\'t resist temptation, and sooner or later, they would have failed on their own. With or without me, the result wouldn\'t have changed."
It sounded a bit like sophistry, but there was some truth to it.
"This approach is pointless," Eula frowned deeply. "I\'ve never slacked off even for a single day. I\'m confident I\'m better than all of them."
"I know that, of course," Lucas said earnestly, "To me, Eula is... the most perfect existence."
His words struck a chord in Eula\'s heart.
The young man before her, with his gentle smile, overlapped in her mind with the boy who had rescued her from the barn six years ago.
The difference was that he was no longer a child. He had grown into a tall and handsome man.
"Then why... why do you keep doing these things?" Eula lowered her head, her voice soft with frustration. "Is it because I\'m a woman?"
"Yes!"
Lucas placed his hand on his chest. "More than anyone, I want you to become the next head of the Lawrence family. Only with the highest authority can no one stop us from being together."
Although the Lawrence family didn\'t forbid marriage between distant relatives, over time, the conditions for intermarriage within the family had become stricter. Especially for relatives like Eula and Lucas, who weren\'t very distantly related, they would inevitably face many obstacles if they wanted to be together.
Only by having one of them become the family head, wielding the highest authority, could they overcome these challenges.
Lucas had considered becoming the family head himself. In fact, with his abilities, if he truly wanted to inherit the position, it would be as easy as dreaming of meeting Aragaki Yui—it would be a piece of cake.
However, becoming the family head had always been Eula\'s dream, and it was also the main task of the simulator. So Lucas decided to support her instead.
"I promise you, I will definitely become the head of the Lawrence family!"
Eula grasped Lucas\'s hand firmly, her expression serious. "So you must promise me, stop causing trouble and be a good little brother, okay?"
Hearing this, Lucas couldn\'t help but laugh. "Do you still see me as that little brother from back then?"
As he spoke, Lucas stepped closer, and Eula suddenly realized that the boy who had once been half a head shorter than her was now taller than she was.
"I don\'t care! You\'re... still my little brother..." For the first time in many years, being this close to Lucas made Eula\'s heart flutter. She murmured, "You annoying little brother."
"Annoying? How am I annoying?" Lucas took the opportunity to pull Eula into his arms, grinning mischievously. "Come closer and smell. Do I really smell bad?"
"You... do smell bad..." Eula felt her cheeks grow hot, and her head spun a little as she mumbled, "But... I like it."
...
R-18 Scene
Lucas gently patted her head and removed her black headband, slowly running his fingers through Eula\'s silky, soft light-blue hair. Then he leaned forward and kissed Eula on the lips. Eula was slightly startled, but then she kissed him back.
He grabbed her plump waist and pulled her closer. The kiss began tenderly, but slowly became more intense and lascivious.
"Little brother...mhm~~~" She moaned as she wrapped her hands around his neck.
As their lips parted, she blushed slightly, her cheeks turning pink as she looked up at Lucas.
He closed her lips with another deep kiss, his tongue gently exploring her mouth. He\'d had countless experiences in his former life as Eberhart, so he wasn\'t a novice.
His hands were not idle either, moving over her body, his right hand squeezing her sweet and juicy buttocks over the fabric.
He gently lifted her up and placed her on his lap as he sat on the bed.
"Let me help you take off your clothes," he whispered in Eula\'s ear. She hesitated a little, then nodded her head with a sigh, her face flushed as she allowed him to undress her.
He smiled and started to undress her, starting from her legs he took off the thigh high boots, her blue stockings were visible making her look incredibly sexy, he moved his hands and started to caress her thighs also squeezing them a bit which made her whimper.
He then removed the black leotard and the next moment Eula\'s incomparable white jade body appeared before his eyes, nothing but blue stockings covering her thighs, making her even more alluring.
She looked nervously to the other side, her left hand covering her lower lips while trying to cover her large breasts with her right hand, avoiding his gaze.
Seeing this, he chuckled and began to undress, and the next moment he approached Eula and sat down next to her.
"Beautiful... Sister Eula, you are very beautiful."
Taking her lips again, Lucas gently touched her large breasts and began to squeeze them.
Pulling away from her lips, Lucas looked at her chest and her beautiful pink nipples.
He immediately lowered his head and placed them in his mouth. He sucked on her pink nipples and bit them as well.
"Ahn~" she moaned softly, her arms pulling him closer as she pressed his head against her chest.
At the same time, his left hand caressed her thighs, slowly approaching her most precious spot.
"Ah~!" Suddenly, Eula\'s body shook. She had a small orgasm, but that didn\'t stop Lucas. He gently bit her nipples and at the same time his hand slid between her thighs, entering her cave.
"Not there! Ahn~"
Feeling his fingers on her most intimate part, Eula\'s eyes opened wide. She looked at Lucas, who was busy sucking on her nipples, with teary eyes.
But this only increased the fire in Lucas. He gently slid his finger into her already wet vagina and touched her clitoris. Eula gripped the sheet tightly, she had never felt anything like this before. Her body tightened and immense pleasure flooded her.
He released her nipples and kissed her neck as he began to reach for her bottom. Lucas looked at her for a moment before moving closer and kissing her lower lips.
"Ah?! What are you doing?! No, no, no, no! Ahh~"
Her body shook violently, and she couldn\'t help but grab Lucas\' head, which was now between her legs. She gripped his hair tightly, her eyes tearing up as her body contracted violently, experiencing another orgasm.
"So this is how you like it, huh? Sister Eula, you are delicious."
But Lucas didn\'t care how tightly Eula held him. He was completely devoted to savoring her sweet nectar.
"Ahhhh..." she moaned and grabbed his head and Lucas started to plunge his tongue into her pussy. Her pussy began to release its juices and get wet, and she felt the pleasure around her cave as his tongue throbbed in her vagina.
"Sister Eula, are you ready?" he whispered to her. She had no more thoughts of stopping or resisting and wanted to do whatever he told her. Her body began to feel a sense of pleasure she had never felt before.
"Be gentle with me," she whispered into his ear.
"Don\'t worry, we will do it slowly," he told her, seeing that she was afraid to see his big dick. It was a little embarrassing because his little brother was very big despite his young age.
Eula lovingly stroked his hair and slowly spread her legs, allowing Lucas\' body to come even closer.
After confirming that her body was relaxed, Lucas took both of her legs and lifted her knees as he spread her legs wide.
Eula watched as Lucas\'s penis came closer and closer to her vagina, she shivered at the sight and was also embarrassed by the position she was in, but at this Lucas just smiled before lowering his head and murmuring in her ear.
"Sister Eula, I love you."
"Mmm...!" she moaned, clutching the sheets tightly.
"Ahh..." Her eyes became teary the moment his dragon entered her cave...
Seeing Eula\'s pain, Lucas stopped what he was doing and waited a few moments, then slowly pushed the tip of his rod into her cave.
"Ahh!" Eula bit her lips from the extreme pain. Tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. She could clearly feel her hymen being slowly torn apart by Lucas\' thick dick, and blood poured through the small gap that remained in her cave.
Lucas stopped moving and after a few moments he slowly began to move.
"Ahhh...mmm...it\'s big...it hurts but it feels good," she moaned and cried at the same time, and the next moment Lucas\' arms were gently around her, and she closed her eyes as his mouth slowly reached for her soft lips.
Kissing passionately, Lucas began to move.
Pah, pah, pah, pah!
With the sound of flesh striking flesh, Eula\'s body shook violently.
She had reached another great climax, but Lucas\' movements didn\'t stop.
"Mmm...ahhhhhh~" Eula\'s erotic moans drove Lucas crazy. He thrust very hard into her cave.
"Ku! It\'s so good! Brother Lucas! Haa, haa!"
Lucas\' breathing became heavier and heavier as Eula\'s moans of pleasure grew louder and louder as she reached out with her hands, hugging his back and digging her nails into him.
Eula could feel no more pain - only extreme pleasure. Her mind quickly emptied, and soon the only thing she could think about was the burning sensation in her vagina and the deep pleasure that came with it.
The only sound that could be heard in the room at that moment was Eula\'s mesmerizing moaning and heavy breathing, the sound of splashing water and pounding flesh.
"Ahhh! Harder! I want it harder!" Eula begged for more as she clutched Lucas\' neck tightly.
Suddenly, her body shook again, and at the same time, Lucas buried his head in her neck and gave her a kiss that would later leave a mark on her, while her back shook with pleasure.
"Sister Eula!"
"Ahhh!!!"
They had climaxed.
R-18 End
...
Hearing the strange noises coming from upstairs, Lucas\'s mother frowned and muttered, "What on earth is going on? It\'s late in the season. How many mosquitoes could there possibly be in that kid\'s room? Maybe I should go check on him."
Schubert set down the poetry book he had been reading. His usually stern face softened with a rare smile. "There\'s no need. The boy\'s grown up now. He\'s leaving for the military academy in Snezhnaya tomorrow, and for the next three years, he probably won\'t have many... opportunities."
"What opportunities?" His wife, a lady of noble upbringing, clearly didn\'t understand the implication in her husband\'s words.
"Don\'t worry about it," Schubert chuckled. "Just send up some tissues later."
The strict father, thinking his son was simply entertaining himself, had no idea that his son was actually doing something far more significant.
...
[The talent "First Glass of Red Wine" has been activated. Attribute enhancement: Able to control ice elemental power.]
The enhancement effect... has changed?
Based on Lucas\'s past life experience, this talent could only absorb and control one elemental power.
In his previous life, Lucas had obtained the fire element. But after his reincarnation, it had now changed to ice.
This was probably due to differences in his current physique. Even though he had inherited Eberhart\'s memories, Lucas and Eberhart were now two completely different people.
Eula, still a bit dazed, seemed unable to process what had just happened.
She had actually gone along with something that violated noble etiquette.
"Sorry..." Lucas awkwardly scratched his cheek. "I... couldn\'t help myself. Sister Eula, are you mad?"
"I... am indeed very angry," Eula said coldly, her back turned to Lucas. "Do you know why?"
Killing intent!
There was definitely killing intent!
Lucas couldn\'t help but swallow nervously. "No idea..."
"You already have a sister, yet you still go out and flirt with other girls..." Eula turned slightly, glancing at him from the corner of her eye. "Shouldn\'t I be angry?"
