Grand Lust Sovereign-Chapter 123: Boys Trip
The constellation shook their head at Jackie’s question. "We all have a past that shapes the current us."
The constellation clasped their hands behind their back.
"However, it is the present that decides how we wish to be in the future."
Jackie could roughly guess where this conversation was heading.
"Lord…" Jackie said softly and respectfully with a bow. "I do not think I will change, and I apologize for it in advance."
The benevolent constellation wasn’t angry. Instead he stepped closer to Jackie and patted her shoulder.
"You are my incarnation, you will have traits of mine. This change is inevitable."
Jackie stayed silent.
The Light of Primordial One moved past her and extended his palm out, having a tweeting bird land on his palm.
"The bond between a constellation and incarnation is sacred. An incarnation’s actions affect their constellation’s strength and providence. If you do bad, I will suffer. If you do good, I’ll become stronger."
Jackie was given an explanation on the relationship between a constellation and their incarnation.
After a certain rank, gods were mostly on an equal footing. If they did one versus one fights, none may emerge victorious.
The incarnation was the variable that changed everything.
They could either make their god the strongest or break them. There was no in between. It was a gamble the constellations willingly took.
Jackie’s action could put her constellation at a risk, but so far, she hadn’t done anything to cause trouble.
There was a genocide in the tutorial of Floor 0, but after that, she had been tame.
The south entrance’s scenario of Floor 27 was related to self defense. If Jackie did not do anything, the Players would’ve hindered their ascension progress.
In all instances after getting together with Julien, this was the most Jackie had done.
Her constellation was naturally aware of it.
There was a need to make Jackie understand the importance of being independent and doing deeds while keeping her own interests at check.
If she kept killing unnecessarily, her constellation would get weaker, which would be bad for all.
When Jackie understood this, she assured her constellation that she wouldn’t do anything that would hurt him.
They talked on this matter for quite some time, and finally, their talks came to an end when her constellation stated he had to leave now.
"Conversing with an entity like me for long will corrupt your mind and soul."
The Light of Primordial One said and parted ways after bidding Jackie farewell.
The dream shattered.
Jackie saw darkness all around her, until a heavy feeling struck her.
She felt hot, extremely hot.
Her groggy eyes opened up and she found herself resting in her bedroom.
The lights were dim, and there were two people in the room, both fast asleep.
Amelia was on one side of the bed, sleeping while keeping her hands on Jackie’s bed whereas Julien had his hands folded as he leaned on the sofa’s armrest and slept.
Judging from the moonlight seeping in the room, it was clear that it was past midnight and a few hours before dawn.
There was a cold piece of cloth on her forehead and she could see that the two had tried their best to keep her fever down.
She did not wake them up. She let them sleep and felt that it was their much deserved rest.
Next day.
Julien and Amelia were happy to find Jackie’s fever had gone down.
Jackie woke up and conversed with them, easing their worries.
She got out of bed, got ready, and chatted with the two over breakfast.
The two were quite surprised to find that Jackie was summoned by her constellation.
The entire thing felt like a fever dream, but it had actually happened in reality.
Lastly, Jackie said that the two would need to stick to their constellation’s traits and act accordingly.
Since Julien did not have a constellation, it probably meant that he should be true to his lust path.
For now, Amelia was the only one he had his hands on.
He called her to his room and indulged in some forbidden wrestling. It did not give much lust points, but gave complete satisfaction to the soul.
Something else had to be done.
Julien had to accumulate more than a million points for his next item, which meant he had to do a lot of lustful deeds.
One fine day, as he thought about what he should be doing, he found Jackie practicing in the usual butler’s outfit.
Squinting his eyes, an idea struck him.
’How did I forget that Jackie isn’t Jack, but Jacqueline…’
Jackie was doing a good job in hiding her identity, so Julien had momentarily forgotten.
’Let me test a few things out to see whether it’s worth it not…’
Thinking so, Julien called Jackie.
The lass stopped training and came to him. She was slightly sweaty, but did not look as if she was training hard.
Julien used his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead, saying, "You shouldn’t indulge in such heavy training, Jackie. What if you get sick again?"
Jackie raised her eyebrows in amusement.
Before she could react, Julien wrapped his around her and pulled her into a warm hug, surprising her further.
"I know you wish to prove yourself, but pushing so much will only make you sick." Julien dropped wisdom and moved his hand down to place them on her small buttocks.
[Ding!]
[+10 points.]
Julien gently gave those a squeeze.
[+15 points.]
There was a multiplier available and these points were being multiplied.
From a simple hug, Julien had almost gained a hundred points!
"I’ll keep it in mind, Master." Jackie said and nodded. She felt happy that Julien cared about her so much and strived to do much better.
Julien broke the hug and said, "Well, since you should be taking a break, why don’t we go on a little boys trip?"
"Boys trip?" Jackie was confused.
"Yeah, a trip only for us boys. We’ll do our adventurous activities and take a break for half a day." Julien briefed.
Jackie thought this might be something related to being a boy, so she readily agreed and took the bait.
’Damn, wasn’t this too easy?’ Julien thought.
Some of the things he did were surprisingly smooth and his luck did not hinder him. It felt good to know.
Half an hour later.
Jackie met Julien in the lounge area of the castle.
Amelia was in the temple and busy doing her priestess duties. It was just them and a few maids.
The first thing Julien did as part of their boys activities was go hunting.
He took a few maids along to set up the tents and everything, and rode horses with Jackie to hunt some rabbits.
Jackie was good at horse riding, almost a natural, whereas Julien struggled to even get onto one.
They spent a few hours in the woods and Jackie caught a few rabbits while Julien had no luck. His horse startled all animals and he couldn’t hunt any.
They came back to their tent area with the hunt and the rabbits were given to the maids to cook over an open campfire.
Julien and Jackie washed up and sat by this same campfire.
It was dusk and starting to get dark.
"Sigh… what tough luck…" Julien said as he sat closer to Jackie on a piece of large log by the campfire.
Jackie shrugged. "It happens, Master."
She was in a good mood and replied.
At somewhat of a distance from the two, there were a few maids, working on preparing dinner.
Julien looked at Jackie and shook his head with a smile. "Let’s forget about the hunt. Let’s have some boy talks instead."
"Hm?" Jackie didn’t know what this meant.
Julien got closer to her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a side hug, and pointed at one of the beautiful maids.
"Look at those beauties. Do you fancy any of them, Jackie?" Julien suddenly said, catching Jackie off guard.
"Eh!?"

Jackie didn’t know how to react to this.
Julien made a pondering face as he gazed at the maids. "Hmm… I think you should try your luck with the lady cutting the rabbit. She seems easy to approach. Mind you though, the maids of the castle may seem friendly, but not all are easily approachable. You should strike whenever you find an opportunity!"
Julien was spouting nonsense, but Jackie got flustered.
’Shit. Do I have to try and pick up a maid? Is this what boy’s night out is?’
Looking at her panicking face, Julien’s lips curved into a faint smirk. He pointed at another maid and continued, "That one isn’t as easy to approach, but I’m sure she’ll be the best match for you. What do you say?"
"Huh? Wait, uh…"
