Now that Clara thought about it, with Lucien's odd way of doing things that even she couldn't understand, it wasn't far-fetched if he did something to Sera, too.

"She isn't a child. Besides, can't you see if there is something wrong with her?"

Lucien rolled his eyes at Clara.

Although he did gain some loyalty points from Sera before, the main reason they were together was because of her past.

After using his system many times, he, of course, saw the patterns.

And gaining the Loyalty of Balthor and Crimson BroodQueen today finally allowed him to confirm those patterns.

From his observation, he realized that if it was something the Debtor truly wished for themselves in some ways, extracting those values from him or her was surprisingly easy and more likely.

That's why he never got loyalty points from Lilith ever.

But for Sera, who loved his warmth, it was extremely easy, even though her realm was higher than his.

"I hope you are right. If you are lying, believe me, I can make your life worse than death."

Clara heard Lucien, but still warned, as she wasn't sure about her judgment anymore. After seeing his weird abilities today, she was totally confused.

The World of Origin was too vast and mysterious after all. Even Clara didn't know much about the abilities it gave to different people.

"Oh? Are you threatening me?"

Lucien looked at Clara with a smirk after hearing her threat.

He had to say, for whatever reason, this maid of Sera was very defensive about her. When it came to her, she never showed mercy.

Heck, she even came here on Sera's request, even though her realm was so much higher and she didn't like him.

It went to show how high Clara regarded Sera in her heart.

"You can think so. I don't care what you do, just…don't hurt my princess. She has suffered too much already."

Clara saw Lucien smirking at her with a carefree look, as if not taking her threat seriously, and warned again.

But this time, she finally gave a reason, though she didn't know why; she just felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

"Haha….Don't worry, I know. As long as she doesn't betray me, I won't hurt her."

Lucien suddenly laughed, hearing Clara, as he didn't take her threat to heart.

She was just taking care of Sera, nothing else. Why would he be offended?

And, to be honest, after all the things he had gone through with her in just a day, he also liked that girl a little more.

"I did tell her she is the first after all."

He couldn't help mumbling with a smirk, remembering the time they had.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Just when Clara was breathing a sigh of relief after he promised, she heard Lucien mumbling something.

'She is the first? Then… does that mean he had others, too? H-how dare he… after having the princess…'

She, of course, understood what Lucien meant and was about to flare up when Lucien looked up at her weirdly,

"Why are you still following me? Didn't Sera ask to help me?"

"Why don't you go help Velmara deal with that guy? Or should I tell Sera that instead of helping me, you just threatened me?"

Lucien asked with clear warnings.

Although he did kill Viscount Aldren, the powerful enemy Death Knight and Hugo was still alive.

If he could take help from Clara to deal with this issue, he wouldn't have to use the system to repeat the same process as with Viscount Aldren.

Honestly, even if Lucien got control over that Death Knight by the stroke of luck, he didn't want to use the same tactics.

That would expose too much of his power in front of Clara.

Not to mention, he didn't want to get involved with any demonic forces yet. After all, he hadn't forgotten the Seed of Greed and Seed of Lust within him.

What if some odd reactions happened when he came in contact with demonic energy?

He had to be cautious.

"You Dare!"

Clara never thought she would be blackmailed one day. However, when Lucien mentioned telling Sera about her threats, a flicker of panic stirred inside her.

After all, she and Sera had already had a huge fight before. And now, if Sera heard something like this from him again, her trust in Clara might completely vanish.

"Do you think I don't?"

Unfortunately for her, Lucien didn't even acknowledge her angry words. He simply turned and walked toward the place where he had left Sera.

He seemed really ready to snitch on her to Sera if she didn't comply with him.

"Wait…don't, I will go, damn it."

Seeing that Lucien was really about to do what he just said, Clara hurriedly came in front, stopping him on time.

Then she gnashed her teeth and snarled a little angrily,

"Okay, I will help this time, but only because of Sera. And don't think you can blackmail me again like this."

Clara never felt so helpless as today. If not for her princess, she would have kicked this guy for daring to blackmail her.

But for now, she decided to endure and complete the task just in case. She didn't want Sera to have doubts about her.

Of course, she wrote this down in her notebook and would repay Lucien tenfold if she ever got the chance.

'Just Wait!'

"Good! Then, please go and kill that Death Knight. While at it, capture that guy in a black robe alive for me. Oh, don't forget to save that Giant, too. Poor guy won't last long like this."

Lucien didn't care about the hatred-filled look Clara gave him and instead listed his demands one after another, all with a smile.

If Clara helped him take care of these things, then he would definitely be pleased.

As for Balthor, who was desperately fighting the headless corpse of Kurma just ahead, Lucien had only saved him out of convenience.

That said, he had to admit, this Kurma was truly powerful, even after death. If not for the unexpected failure of his skill, he might not have died so easily.

"You…! Don't play with my patience."

Clara heard his demand and flared up in anger.

Wasn't this giving an inch and taking a mile?

But seeing Lucien just turning around and heading straight for Sera, she finally stumped her legs, frustratingly and reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, but no more than this. Just wait for me here."

After saying that, she immediately disappeared from her place, afraid that Lucien would assign her another task.

If that happened, she really didn't know if she could control her anger and do something bad.

"Tsk…so much for being stern. Why argue in the first place?"

Lucien saw Clara's reluctant look when she left and smiled a little. With Clara's help, now he didn't need to get involved in this anymore.

And he was sure that his Grandpa would deal with the things here.

'I feel like I forgot something.'

Lucien suddenly thought he had forgotten something in this chaos, although he felt that it was something insignificant.

'Forget it. Let's go to Sera and thank her for her help. This princess deserves a little reward for her good deed, doesn't she?'

He thought for a moment, set aside other thoughts, and walked toward Sera, who was at the central tower at that time.

With Clara's defensive measures around her, she was the safest person in all this chaos.

Heck, Lucien could even see that the Demonic fog hadn't managed to enter the tower, despite covering everything else.

One could see just how powerful Clara's method was.

"Lucien, here… come up!"

Just as he neared the tower, Lucien suddenly heard Sera's loud voice from the top, followed by the creaking of the door opening.

It seemed Sera had seen him coming and immediately opened the gate to let him in.

'This girl… isn't she afraid I might be an imposter?'

Lucien shook his head at excited Sera after seeing him, smiled, and entered the door.

To be honest, he was starting to get a little addicted to this eldest princess's enthusiasm for him.

Maybe, feeling that her feelings were genuine, he decided to be more sincere with her from now on.

At least, he wouldn't use Debt Collection on her recklessly like before.

It was an improvement, right?

"Lucien, are you alright? Did anything happen to you?"

"Why are you so careless? Demons are very dangerous, you know. And someone wants to assassinate you, too."

"Stay with me and don't leave. Clara will help you solve this problem, don't worry."

Well, her enthusiasm was a little over the top, but…Lucien could still bear it.
