I'm here to save the world, what are you doing?

She poked the food on the plate with her fork, as if she mistook the food for Lucius and the princess she had never met.

Humph, so what if you are a princess? Sister Ai is not afraid of you!

Having said that, Iveliya still felt uneasy.

After all, Plotina was the emperor's chosen fiancée for Lucius, and she had a noble status and a prominent background.

If she is still a jealous woman who is intolerant, jealous and possessive, then I will be in trouble.

"No, I have to find a way..."

Iveliya rolled her eyes and began to think about how to deal with this powerful enemy.

After lunch, Ivilia walked slowly around Clovis's residence.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the carpet in the corridor, casting mottled shadows.

She thought as she walked, both to help digest her food and to speed up the flow of her thoughts.

Suddenly, the sound of a carriage came from afar, and the crisp sound of horse hooves falling and the rustling sound of wheels rolling over the road were clearly audible.

Iveliya immediately pricked up her ears, held her breath and listened carefully, her slender body slightly tense with anticipation.

After confirming that the sound came from the main entrance of the official residence, her eyes lit up, and then she ran towards that direction with light steps, her heartbeat accelerating with every step.

When she reached the gate, she happened to see Lucius calmly stepping off the carriage step.

The extremely formal dress had been taken off, and only a snow-white silk shirt was worn on the upper body, with the cuffs casually rolled up to the elbows, revealing the well-defined forearms.

His handsome face wore his usual lazy smile, and his whole body exuded an indescribable sense of freshness and comfort.

“Brother Lu!”

Iveliya roared, her voice filled with uncontrollable joy, and she rushed forward regardless of anything and pounced on Lucius.

Although Lucius had not expected such a warm "welcome ceremony", fortunately the girl was petite and delicate, and he instinctively caught the human pendant steadily without even shaking his stance.

"Oh, Xiao Ai, you missed me so much?"

Feeling the familiar weight in his arms and the delicate fragrance of the girl, Lucius raised the corners of his lips and teased with raised eyebrows.

"I miss you so much!"

Iveliya did not hide her longing for him, and hugged Lucius' neck tightly with both hands:

"I want to check you out to see if you've been seduced by that Plotina!"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Lucius's neck like a kitten, her nose twitching slightly.

Sure enough, in addition to the familiar scent of Lucius, there was also a completely unfamiliar fragrance mixed in, fresh with noble floral and fruity notes, elegant yet present.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the aura of Plotina.

Iveliya: Oh my god, I knew it was more than just a meal for them!

How could I possibly have such a strong smell on my body if I just ate a meal?

Ivilia narrowed her eyes slightly, like a little animal that found its territory was invaded.

"You smell like another woman!"

Iveliya suddenly raised her head, a mist in her eyes, and looked at Lucius accusingly:

"And it's a woman I've never seen before!"

"My goodness, isn't your sense of smell a little too sensitive, Xiao Ai?"

Lucius laughed at her exaggerated reaction.

Alas, I have to admit that women are really talented in catching cheating.

"Cut the nonsense!"

Iveliya let go of her hand, stood in front of Lucius with her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to accuse him.

She raised her chin slightly and stared straight at Lucius:

"Tell me, is that Plotina?"

"What did you do together? Why does having a meal together make you smell like her?"

Lucius looked at the angry Iveliya and found it very funny and cute:

"Just a normal conversation, and most of the time was spent with Octavia."

"However, after dealing with her sister, she seemed a little sleepy, so I let her rest on my shoulder and take a nap."

"What!?"

Iveliya opened her mouth slightly, obviously not expecting the progress to be so fast:

"You let her sleep on you?"

"What happened?"

Lucius nodded, his tone full of ease:

"She's my fiancée, so it's okay to let her lean on me for a bit, right?"

Iveliya: ...

Even if they are an engaged couple, isn't it a bit too intimate to do this on the first meeting?

Damn it, Brother Lu, have you ever thought that that woman might be playing you?

She might not have lost her memory at all!

As the saying goes, those involved in the matter are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly. Lucius may have been too confident in his own charm, so he subconsciously ignored this point.

But from Iveliya's perspective, she accurately discovered the problem.

Women always have an almost instinctive insight into other women's minds.

But she didn't intend to tell Lucius about this discovery.

Tell Lucius what?

Should he immediately rekindle his relationship with Plotina?

That's bad.

"There's a big problem!"

Ivilia's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her beautiful face turned to the side, and she made a tearful expression:

"You just brutally took away my innocence last night, and now you're letting another woman sleep with you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

There was a choke in her voice and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.

Although the volume was not loud, it attracted the attention of several nearby maids, who cast looks that were both curious and somewhat ambiguous.

Lucius:? ? ?

Okay, okay, let’s try this trick, right?

But unfortunately, Brother Lu is very thick-skinned. He does what he does and never hides it.

Lucius showed a playful smile, stretched out his hand to pick up Iveliya, and walked into the house with her in the gaze of the servants and maids.

"Woo..."

In this way, it was Iveliya who was embarrassed.

Damn Brother Lu, why are you being so strong?

Why don't you play by the rules?

Iveliya curled up in Lucius's arms, buried her face deep in his shoulder, feeling the body temperature coming through the clothes, and her heartbeat unconsciously quickened a few beats.

Just as Lucius walked into the hall and was about to put her down, she suddenly had an idea and raised her cherry lips in a cunning arc:

"Brother Lu, I suddenly feel a little cold. Can you hold me like this forever?"

Without waiting for Lucius to answer, Iveliya buried herself deeper and deeper in his arms, rubbing against him like a spoiled child.

The silky long hair swept back and forth across his neck, leaving a faint itch.

"What are you doing?"

Lucius didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked down at the restless beauty in his arms, his voice a mixture of helplessness and doting.

"I'm claiming sovereignty!"

Iveliya answered confidently, without stopping her movements:

"I will cover up all the scent of Plotina in you."

"So what if Plotina is your fiancée? I, Avilia, have already eaten you up!"

Her words were full of undisguised possessiveness and pride, as if she was declaring a great victory.

"Good! Very energetic!"

Lucius was full of admiration for Iveliya's determination, and then said:

"I hope you can be as strong tomorrow when you face Plotina."

Iveliya: ???

No, what did you say?

Ivilia was struck by lightning and instantly petrified on the spot.

"Ha, haha, Brother Lu, what do you mean?"

Iveliya seemed to be stuck, her voice trembling slightly, the expression on her face almost unable to maintain, and a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.

"His Majesty has given me a task, which requires me and Plotina to complete together."

Lucius carried Iveliya to sit on the sofa and said leisurely:

"It's just that we couldn't reach any conclusion today, so she made an appointment with me to come to the official residence to discuss it tomorrow."

"Besides, she's very interested in you and specifically mentioned that she must meet you."

"..."

A chill ran down the back of Iveliya's neck, and an ominous premonition surged over her like a tide.

She raised her head and asked alertly:

"See me? Why?"

Lucius had a meaningful smile on his face, and his fingers gently stroked her cheek:

"Because Octavia betrayed you."

"Hey, Xiao Ai'ai, have I really changed that much? You can tell at a glance that I'm no longer Chu Nan."

Iveliya: Oh shit, why is Octavia so mean?

Didn’t I just call you an old woman?

Why hold a grudge like this?

"so......"

Iveliya glanced around nervously, her fingertips unconsciously twisting together:

"Plotina already knows about you and me..."

"Yes, she does."

Lucius admired Iveliya's panicked look and couldn't help laughing:

"And she looked very, very unhappy."

Iveliya: ...

It’s over.

I hit Plotina? Really?
