The class on etiquettes began shortly.
Vivienne took her bun off and began demonstrating the ways of the noble.
"If it's someone of a higher standing like let's say the king or queen, you must…"
"If it's someone of an equal standing then…"
"If it's someone of a lower standing…"
"Now, if it's your fiancé then…"
Vivienne gave a description of various greetings and honestly Vincent got bored. There was no touching. All he could do was one kiss on the back of the palm and only to his fiancé.
[Time's running out. One minute left.]
The system eventually gave a friendly reminder.
'Oh fuck! No, no, no! I'll end up dying if I fail this quest!'
Due to the mood, Vincent totally forgot that the quest wasn't complete!
There was no time for any extra thoughts and Vincent shot to his feet. He closed the distance between him and the black-haired, blue-eyed busty beauty and hugged her tight.
"Mom, are you saying that, I can't even hug you like this? And forget that, you didn't explain why this isn't allowed…"
Vincent's hand moved down and this time, on purpose and unceremoniously, he put his hand under Vivienne's skirt and slithered his fingers in between her legs.
Without much surprise, Vincent got to learn that there wasn't anything beneath!
His fingers touched a pair of velvety folds, at last tainting a flower that hadn't been touched before.
"Vinny, no~" Vivienne protested, but did not push him away this time.
"Why can I not? Please give me a reason…" Vincent pushed the innocent lady towards the abyss. His finger dug into the slit and he caressed the moist areas.
"Vinny, you cannot… because…" Vivienne gasped and said in between her breaths. "…because…"

+
The words shocked Vincent but the situation on hand did not allow him to think much of it.
Noticing Vincent not pushing himself further, Vivienne took a step back and shook her head while patting Vincent's face.
"My dear, this thing cannot be done. Nothing except a man's…"
Vivienne took a pause but eventually bit her lip and touched Vincent's crotch. "…a man's manhood should go inside a lady's womanhood. This is a sacred thing and is only done a few times in life to make babies. That's it."
Vincent tilted his head in confusion. "What? Why?"
Looking at how serious and curious her son seemed, Vivienne had no idea how she should answer.
Why? She never questioned this before. It's just how the way of the world was, similar to how one wouldn't question why one was breathing.
"W-weren't you trying to put it inside? Y-yeah, mister, that's not allowed." Vivienne tried to reason and said.
Vincent was seriously pondering this. The situation was too bizarre. Any sane person would immediately beat him up, but over here? What was this?
"Did the church say that a man and a woman should do that thing for making babies only and never else?" Vincent asked after some thought.
Viviennne nodded but then shook her head. "It's not taught by the church but it's written in the scriptures which the church preaches. The scriptures are gospels from gods and teach about purity and sacredness of fertility and life."
'Oh shit! High level brainwashing!' It immediately clicked Vincent. There's a lot more to it than the eyes can see and the ears can hear!
"Well, let's just say that I don't wish to put it in. I only want to help a lady clean herself there. Is that not allowed too?"
Vivienne smiled and shook her head. "Let's not discuss these matters anymore. Your fiancé will be here soon. We need to prepare for that so let me wash you up quickly."
Vivienne met Vincent in a hurry and the maids weren't here. If not for the time constraint, it would've been the maids wiping him down.
Honestly, Vincent did not look forward to it!
Vivienne ended up stripping him and wiping him with the help of a clean cloth and water from the jar in the corner.
There was nothing to feel good about. Vincent was more embarrassed and felt nothing from her touches. That thing in between his legs was too shameful of a size.
Vivienne gave him a final few details and left, asking him to be downstairs in a few minutes.
Vincent checked his reward before leaving.

[Available Rolls: 5]
[Opening Rare Mystery Box…]
[Ding!]
[Obtained: Absolute Dominance Token x1, Absolute Bluff Token x1, Physique Enhancement Potion(Strong) x1, Scroll—Aegis Compendium, Scroll—Guildmaster's Ledger]
+
For the first time, Vincent felt he got something very useful from the system. Opening the scrolls to see the contents, information immediately erupted in his mind, making him feel a stinging pain in his forehead.
"Military… this Aegis Compendium is military strategies, tactics, and how to raise a military… wow…"
"…and this Guildmaster's Legder… it's how to start a guild and manage it…"
Vincent felt such knowledge was finally worthy of being a protagonist. He really was the main character!
However, Vincent's dreams soon came crashing down when he realized the military strategies and tactics were all based on modern warfare. It needed guns and whatnot. So useless!
As for starting a guild, there were far too many requirements and it would require a lot of resources and finance to even consider starting it.
Vincent didn't know his family's financial background, but he for sure knew a Baron would probably not have a lot of money.
Vincent put the matters of military and guild aside. He would look into it later when he had some money.
"Let's roll!" Vincent said enthusiastically. "Do all five together!"
In gacha, the more pulls done together, the probability to get something good. This was what Vincent thought and started the rolls.
[Rolling…]
Bright purple lights flashed around the system screen as five silhouettes of random rewards constantly interchanged. Finally, the interchanging stopped.
[Ding!]
[Obtained: Ultimate Kingdom Building Pack, Ability—Aptitude Beacon, Physique Enhancement Pack(Basic), Stamina Potion(Weak) x1, Cleansing Token x1]
This sounded underwhelming but among these was an ability. Vincent didn't need to guess that it was a rare thing to come by. He checked what the ability was.
[Aptitude Beacon: Detect individuals with exceptional skills, extensive experience or extraordinary potential in a specific domain.
Current Detection Radius: 100 meters.
Effect: Increase in intelligence stat will increase the ability's radius automatically.]
"Oh nice…" Vincent was pleasantly surprised.
He focused on opening the engineering pack next but a system notification rang out.
[Intelligence low. Opening the pack forcibly will turn the host into an idiot.]
Vincent's eyebrow twitched. "Of course… since when did this system become so caring towards me… it just cannot give me something nice without a catch…"
Shaking his head, Vincent asked how he could raise his intelligence and the system swiftly answered.
[Since the host's intelligence stat is very low(4/100), the system will be magnanimous and answer it.]
"…"
[The host can study hard, solve logical reasoning problems, work with real world problems, or—]
"Damn. There's no shortcut?"
A quick line of words appeared.
[…sigh.]
They disappeared just as quickly.
"…" Vincent frowned. "The fuck do you mean sigh? Are you showing human emotions?"
[The host is imagining things.]
"I clearly saw you sigh!"
[The host is imagining things.]
[In any case, there is another method….]
Vincent's ears perked up.
[The host can cultivate the Yin-Yang Harmony Sutra with someone of a high intelligence like a mage, or perhaps a witch.]
"…"
The line of words disappeared just as quickly again.
"System, you bastard…" Vincent facepalmed and sighed. "You're a much bigger scumbag than me."
[Negative. The system is a coded entity. Cannot display similar behavior like the host's.]
"Thui!" Vincent spat to the side at this. "Never call me a scumbag again. Anyway, what's with the physique enhancement potion, I almost forgot about it."
The system, like the proper coded entity it was, displayed information in regards to the potion.
It stated that the host's physique would be improved permanently. There weren't any side effects.
Vincent heaved a sigh of relief and gulped down the potion.
Soon, he felt his arms, legs, and eventually the whole body swell a little.
At last, something very very magical happened.
In between his legs…
Vincent immediately pulled his pants away and had his eyes widened.
"Goodnesss gracious…"
