Reincarnated as the Baron's son: My Infinite Card Upgrade System-Chapter 63: The armored Sima.

"You were saying...?" Velmo spoke, his jaw resting on his fist while seated in his office chair.

"Neuk Barony destroyed my warehouse, delaying the delivery. They killed my soldiers and have been doing so for years," Alaric continued with a robotic look. "We only acted back to stop the killing of my people. That’s what I said."

"And I am to believe you wiped out a barony of 400 soldiers with a measly 50 or so soldiers under you?" Velmo wasn’t buying it.

"Well, I wouldn’t say we wiped out 400 soldiers. They simply decided to follow me and not their master anymore."

"Because you murdered him."

"Pardon me, my lord, but I feel like you’re obsessed with tiny details. A war happened, and one side lost. That should be all that needs to be known. The question now is, what are you going to do about a barony with no leader?"

Velmo stared, watching as Alaric continued to speak.

"It’s only a matter of time before people start relocating. Some begin to take comfort in my barony. And since my father is such a good soul, he let them stay with us until the next step has been decided."

"Which is?"

Alaric made sure to show the most innocent face ever seen on any man before he spoke—

"Who gets to rule the empty barony?"

Velmo sighed, now resting his back on the chair as he fell into deep thought.

It would be easy for him to inform the Duke about it, in which case, most likely, the Duke would hand the land to another faithful noble.

But...

Velmo stole a glance at Alaric, only to see he was still carrying the same innocent face.

’There’s no doubt he would prove to be productive with the land. This is the very man that started a working mining ground in a month. No questions there, he is exceptional.’

He grunted, ’Still, what’s this feeling like I’m playing right into his hands?’

Velmo looked at Alaric yet again, still meeting the same innocent expression.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

"I’ll think about it after consulting my advisor."

"Eh? You have an advisor?"

"All nobles do."

"Oh."

"..."

"..."

Alaric smiled, "Do you mind showing me who your advisor—"

"No."

"Fair enough." Alaric stood up from the chair. "Please excuse me, I need to go finish up with something."

He walked out of the room with a slight bow of his head.

Reaching outside, he rested his back on the door for a while, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, unable to hide the devious smile he had been trying to conceal since he stepped into the office.

’This is almost too perfect. Hahah, I can already feel myself going off with this. I’m about to hit the fuckin’ jackpot.’

As he whispered in his mind, a figure arrived in front of him.

Thus, he looked to his front, only to meet Sima there, with the same unimpressed expression on her face.

"Eh, it’s here again," Alaric accidentally blurted out.

This made Sima frown a bit, but she knew better than to speak rudely to her lord’s guest.

In an instant, a character profile for her popped up.

[Name: Sima Quills

Occupation: Royal advisor and bodyguard.

Rank: Platinum rank assassin.

Special skill: Adapting

Relationship: -13%.]

’Oh great, -13. She hates me. Fuck! She hates me! This could ruin my deal with Velmo. No, wait, don’t jump to conclusions. He must have other advisors, not just this one.’

"Excuse me, can you step to the side? I would like to pass," Sima spoke, her tone nearly as cold as ice.

"Why, of course. Sorry about that." He stepped to the side. "Before you go, can we speak about something? I’ve been worried about it for a while now."

Sima looked at Alaric as if looking at a random stray dog.

"Is that an order?" she asked.

Alaric was confused, "Order?" he also asked back.

"You’re ordering me to have a discussion with you, are you not? As my lord’s guest, I cannot disobey that, especially if it’s logical. So I’m asking, are you ordering me?" she explained.

’Is this her saying she wouldn’t speak to me if it wasn’t an order? Barons really do suffer—not a single ounce of respect for us.’ A single sad tear showed on Alaric’s face.

Forcing a smile, Alaric replied, "Yes, I have something important I’d like to discuss with you. Can you meet me at my chamber tonight?"

"I shall inform my master."

"Awesome! I look forward to it then." Alaric turned around and walked away, but not without the devious smile popping back out.

When he arrived at his room, he met Laura and Aurora sleeping on the bed. Laura was eating, while Aurora was cleaning her tail.

"Welcome back, master. Your sister and the knight have not returned. Perhaps they need our help?" Laura was the first to speak.

"Is that so..."

Alaric moved closer to the bed, his eyes almost closing before he collapsed on the bed.

His head managed to rest on Laura’s boobs, while his legs found their way to Aurora’s thighs.

With a smile, Aurora said, "You must be exhausted. You should rest for a while, master."

"I can’t. We still have to go back home to recruit some workers to help with this new project. I already planned on us leaving tomorrow. I just need to be sure the meeting with the brothers was successful—even if it’s just one."

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Laura’s breasts, a smile forming on his face.

From day one, he realized pressing boobs always helped reduce his stress level. Simply put, it was a good way for him to remain calm.

"We are going back? Aww, but we only just got here," Laura cried. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"The sooner we end this, the better," Alaric uttered.

"Uhm, do you want to sleep now, young master?" Aurora raised a question, her hands already busy pulling off Alaric’s shoes.

"Nah, not yet."

’Yeah, not yet. I need a way to make Sima come to my side. If she’s taking my side, there’s about a 90% guarantee Velmo will place me in charge of Neuk Barony.’

He opened his eyes.

’Show me cards related to seduction abilities.’

[Request confirmed.]

Immediately, multiple cards began to pop up in front of Alaric, each having different categories of unique abilities Alaric could potentially need.

But as always, only one stood out before him.

[Seductive Touch.]

[Rank: Bronze rank

Level: 0/10... {70,000 Cp to fully upgrade}.]

[Description: This card grants you the ability to multiply the libido in a person’s body.

Note: You need to make skin-to-skin contact with said person.]

{500 Cp to purchase.}

Alaric smiled. ’Upgrade to Diamond rank and show me the updated abilities.’

The system did just that.

[Cost for upgrading to Diamond rank: 400,000 Cp.]

[400,000 Cp has been deducted from your account. Current Cp: 2.9 million Cp.]

[Seductive Touch has been upgraded.]

[Updated abilities: Staring at the target intensely with mana flow will increase their sexual urge.]

Alaric could almost laugh out loud.

He knew he was a master when it came to seducing women. With a skill like this, it would be light work for him.

If he were able to make Sima, the Count’s advisor, fall for him—or at least feel some spark towards him—he knew she would help him convince Velmo.

But since he didn’t want her falling in love with him, he didn’t bother getting a card for love manipulation.

Instead, he wanted her to simply feel guilt or anything that comes with having sex so she would help him regardless.

"Perfect." He grinned a bit.

It didn’t take until later that night for Alaric to see he was dealing with a master as well.

Sima showed up at his front door, dressed in full-coated metal armor. The only part of her body that was open was the helmet, leaving her eyes visible.

Alaric was speechless, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

"Mr. Alaric, I have come as you ordered," Sima spoke, her voice echoing inside the armor.

"Yeah..."

"You look at me as if you are looking at a ghost. I assure you, I am human," Sima uttered, tapping her hand on her chest, which only let out a loud metal sound.

"I’m starting to doubt that. If so, why else would you show up in this!" Alaric yelled, already losing his mind.

"To protect myself," she replied.

"From what?!"

"..."

"..."

The silence grew louder as Sima kept staring at Alaric’s crotch.

And Alaric couldn’t say anything since he knew he was planning on seducing her, so she was damn well right to come protected.

Grinding his teeth for a while, Alaric finally stepped to the side.

"Oh, please come in."

"Excuse me."

Sima walked into the room, every step she took giving a loud thud on the ground until eventually, she found her way to the bed and sat down.

Now, Alaric stood in front of her, his eyes scanning how huge she was.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Sima asked, her gaze fixed on Alaric.
