Chapter 6: Chris Time Part 3
Ding! Mission Complete. Charm +10 and a one-time-use weapon voucher. Do you want to collect your reward, Host?
Adrian, feeling the weight of the recent events and the new experience, closed his eyes and heard the voice of the system. He decided to collect his reward. Each time he wanted to view his stats, someone had interrupted him today. Now that no one seemed to be there to interrupt him, he decided to finally take a look. "System, show me my stats."
A transparent screen flickered in his eyes as soon as he gave the command:

Adrian took a moment to absorb the information displayed before him. The Charm stat, now significantly above average, gave him a slight boost in confidence.
The Seduction Points he had earned were now available to spend in the system shop. He knew he needed to strategize carefully to maximize his growth and potential.
"System," he said, "show me the shop."
The transparent screen shifted, revealing a new menu filled with various items, skills, and enhancements available for purchase with Seduction Points.
System Shop:

When Adrian saw his stats, he finally realized how weak and lazy the original Adrian had been. At 18 years old, he was still at level 1. From 15 to 18, three years had passed without him practicing a single thing or leveling up. He was a total waste. Adrian could now understand the frustration of his big sister, Sophia.
He knew he had to act quickly to strengthen himself, especially with the looming threat of the neighboring baron. Determined to make the most of his newfound abilities and resources, Adrian decided to spend his Seduction Points to bolster his strength and capabilities as fast as possible.
"System, I want to redeem my one-time-use weapon voucher and purchase Intermediate Swordsmanship for 50 SP."
Ding! One-time-use weapon voucher redeemed. Weapon options: Iron Sword, Enchanted Dagger.
"Give me the Enchanted Dagger," Adrian selected, reasoning that its enchantments would provide him with a versatile weapon, suitable for both close combat and more intricate maneuvers.
Ding! Enchanted Dagger acquired.
Ding! Intermediate Swordsmanship acquired. Skill level upgraded to Intermediate.
Adrian felt a surge of knowledge and skill flood into his mind. The techniques and maneuvers of Intermediate Swordsmanship became clear to him, and he instinctively knew how to wield his new Enchanted Dagger with newfound proficiency.

Feeling more confident and capable, Adrian vowed to train rigorously and make up for lost time. He couldn't afford to be the weak link in his family any longer. The neighboring baron and any other threats would soon see that the Everhart family had a powerful and determined young master ready to defend them.
Chris stirred beside Adrian, waking up slowly from the exhaustion of their intimate encounter. She felt a mix of soreness and contentment, her body still tingling from the two rounds they had shared. Realizing she had fallen asleep in his bed, she quickly sat up, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
"I'm so sorry, Milord," Chris apologized, her voice a soft whisper as she tried to cover herself with the sheets. "I didn't mean to fall asleep here."
Adrian, seeing her distress, gently caressed her head, his fingers running through her tousled hair. "You don't need to worry about that, Chris," he reassured her with a warm smile. "From today onward, you are my woman. You won't have to work as my maid anymore."
Chris's eyes widened in shock, her heart racing. "Milord, are you serious?"
"Yes," Adrian said firmly, his eyes filled with sincerity. "I will marry you, and soon, I will inform my mother about us."
Hearing those words, Chris couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. Tears welled up in her eyes and spilled down her cheeks as she started sobbing. Adrian, panicking, thought he had done something wrong.
"Chris, what's wrong? Did I say something to upset you?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
Chris shook her head, wiping away her tears with the back of her hand. "No, Adrian. These are tears of happiness," she explained between sobs. "Your family has already done so much for me. When my father became a drunkard and nearly sold us to a brothel to pay his debts, I had no choice but to escape. I kneeled and begged in front of the Everhart mansion, hoping for a miracle. Lady Isabella heard my plea and saved us. She took my mother and little sister in, gave us shelter, and provided us with a means to live. I could never have imagined that you, the young master of this house, would now promise to marry me. I am beyond grateful and happy."
Adrian felt a deep sense of compassion and admiration for Chris. He pulled her into a gentle embrace, holding her close as she cried tears of joy. "You don't have to worry about anything anymore, Chris. I promise to take care of you and your family. From now on, you are mine, and I will protect you with everything I have."
Chris nodded, her heart swelling with love and gratitude. "Thank you, Milord. I am so lucky to have you."
