The main reason why Corvum works with Lucia is because despite the fact that Corvum has extensive skills in maintaining a criminal empire he still needs a legitimate surface and influence to operate (like how the mafia was associated with many different businesses).

Unfortunately, many factions are aligned with Lastius and they would notice an enemy of his. Only the Pluto Regime was left, an independent faction that had a surprisingly decent reputation with the public. On the other hand one of Lucia's advisors stated that she may need some "secret division for surprise attacks" but Lucia, being Lucia, said she was "above such ways".

Eventually after Corvum snuck into the Pluto Regime's imperial palace he saw the "negative qualities" of Lucia and saw her as a brat but she wasnt what he was after, at the same time Lucia saw a powerful person in Corvum and thought he would be a powerful person to use to her own ends. Both had something the other wanted, and then there's Nex making the agreement permanent with his knowledge of Lastius
