Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

No wonder those in power breed corruption so easily.

If Lucius wasn't careful, he could find himself sinking into such a feeling.

Lucius leaned in and whispered coldly into Van's ear,

"If it brings you any peace, I was never planning to let you live anyway. In other words, you were dead from the very start. Your little lie of omission never changed anything, so you can die in peace."

Of course, such a phrase naturally wouldn't bring Van any peace or solace; it only made him more unwilling, causing him to violently struggle and shake in his chair as blood ceaselessly poured out of his neck. Eventually, he tilted his head to the side and died.

The poor man died tragically, his eyes still wide open, filled with despair and hatred.

It was the look of a man who had died in agony and unwillingly.

Lucius saw the tragic sight and felt not even the slightest bit of pity.

The bomb Van had planted was truly vicious.

If Lucius had not known about it and acted, he would have been caught with his pants down right in the middle of trying to seize the star seed.

By then, his cover would have been completely blown, and all that would await him would be the tragic and furious pursuit of the heroic families and even the Church of Light.

Even the mighty Demon King had no choice but to keel over and die in front of such a devastating coalition; Lucius's ending could only be worse than his.

For such a reason Lucius would show no mercy towards Van.

After dealing with Van, he and Camilla returned to their office to discuss the next steps. The Star Seed was extremely important. Lucius remembered that not too long from now, Landon would receive a Star Seed when he went to visit the temple of the Holy Church in their holy city.

Lucius always thought that this was something the church had held in reserve to share when the Saint of Light was born, but from this information, he realized that this might not be the case. If his guess was correct, then this Star Seed should be the one that Landon receives from the Holy Church. So stealing it would not only strengthen him but also weaken Landon—hitting two birds with one stone.

He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Lucius and Camilla quickly began brainstorming, writing up plans, and bouncing ideas off each other. But although they made progress, it was quite unsatisfactory.

Lucius was a bit frustrated, but he soon calmed down.

Snatching a Star Seed from right under the noses of the church could never be simple. It was a plan that demanded high levels of information, planning, and even luck. At the very least, it was something that couldn't be done in just one day.

Realizing no progress could be made even if he worked himself to death, Lucius leaned back and relaxed a little.

Although Lucius was relaxing, Camilla didn't even think about doing such a thing. She was already a workaholic by nature, and this combined with the utmost importance of the task at hand kept her focused.

Lucius looked at Camilla, who was locked in a pondering and serious expression, and was soon entranced by her unique charm. Staying with Camilla for so long had made him semi-immune to her beauty, but it was times like this that broke down his defenses and charmed Lucius all over again.

He suddenly felt his body growing hot, and an evil desire bloomed in his heart. His greedy eyes scanned Camilla's explosive body, and while she was still trapped in deep thought, Lucius smirked and put his plan into motion.

He came close to her, wrapping himself around Camilla, his body pressing against her soft, plump curves from behind.

Camilla felt this and blushed deeply, murmuring in a voice as soft as a whisper,

"Young leader…"

As soon as Camilla's body melted into his embrace and her full round ass began to rub against him and Lucius felt a rush of heat growing in between his legs.

Soon Camilla quickly felt the firm press of Lucius's might demonic sword against her, and her face flushed an even deeper shade of red as she stammered,

"Y-young leader… Do you want to do it here?"

Ignoring her question, Lucius continued to tease her. Rubbing his massive tool between her large, inviting buns, He leaned in close, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered in a low, seductive tone,

"Why not? Don't tell me my faithful Camilla can't handle the pressure."

His breath sent shivers down her spine, each word like a devilish invitation pulling Camilla deeper into temptation.

As this was happening, Lucius's hands roamed freely over her body, exploring and claiming every inch with a lustful touch.

He could feel her legs trembling under his teasing, and with a mischievous grin, he blew gently into her ear, causing her shudders to intensify. A faint trickle of warmth ran down from between Camilla's legs, betraying her growing desire.

Turning towards Lucius, her beautiful face flushed, and her wide, watery purple eyes fighting between the struggle for Lucius to take her completely, and the rationality to do it in a more secure place

"Young leader, we can't do it here, what if somebody sees…"

Camilla didn't care about what the people thought about her but if such a thing caused them to leave a damaging reputation for the young leader she won't be able to forgive herself till she dies

Lucius heard this and chuckled.

"It doesn't matter if somebody sees because we already have somebody watching us right now and from the looks of things she'll be happy to watch us go all the way."

As Camilla heard this she frowned slightly

She was too absorbed in the feeling of Lucius's touch and actually ended up neglecting her surroundings.

Even though this slight slip up happened, Camilla was still an expert. After sensing around a little she instantly found the little spy that had peeping at them this entire time
