The reaction was only as one might expect.

The truth was that Leonel hadn't tried to lean on this advantage because he truly felt that it wouldn't matter much to begin with. His ties with the Luxnix and Morales families were… loose to say the least. Not only that, but Leonel was a bit stubborn about it all at the same time.

He wanted to use his Luxnix and Morales blood for the sake of taking over said families. But, as far as relying on them? He never really had any intention of doing so.

As far as he saw things, he would be the one in position to elevate them, not the other way around. And, he also wasn't fond of the idea of having to rely on others as well. This wasn't just a matter of pride, it was also a matter of practicality.

Just seeing how Aina's family had treated her, Leonel felt it would be a fool's dream to hope that his own families would welcome him with open arms. If he really went into the world with that kind of thought process, he would end up chewed up and spit out before he realized what happened.

Leonel had always subconsciously known that his own power and strength would always be the most important. But, seeing how things ended up for Augustus today, and how many times he had been forced to change and alter his plans before he could even take the first step on his journey, he realized it even more now.

If he didn't wield enough power and strength himself, it would all be meaningless. There would be a day where no amount of scheming could get him out of a situation and he would be forced to face it head on. If when that time came he was still trying to play chess when the situation demanded checkers, all his dreams and aspirations would be for naught.

'Maybe I've been going about this all wrong…'

Leonel forgot that he was supposed to be waiting for an answer from Augustus for a moment as he lost himself in a trail of thoughts.

'I'm trying to build a Kingdom, but before it's even gotten off its feet it's already pulling me in so many directions. I'm worrying about recruiting, about loyalty, about resources and money… It's diverting my attention so much at just this scale, what would happen on a larger scale?'
