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

Plotina is indeed a ruthless person.

Nora's teeth left a row of shallow teeth marks on her lower lip, and the coldness in her eyes was even more biting:

"The relationship between Brother Lucius and me is naturally beyond the imagination of outsiders."

"Of course, of course."

Plotina nodded and smiled, and gently stroked the back of her left hand with her right hand:

"After all, you grew up together, and you must have countless memories together."

"It's just that...some people may not be able to truly enter each other's hearts even if they have known each other for ten years."

"And some people may become each other's soul mates just by seeing each other."

Plotina felt a little sad as she spoke.

Because she realized that she seemed to be worse off than Nora.

She was jealous of Iveliya's ability to develop a close relationship with Lucius, and she was also jealous of Nora's ability to spend more time with Lucius.

And she herself, because of cruel fate, was destined not to spend the rest of her life with Lucius.

Fortunately, Nora's expression became even uglier, so this move was not considered a stupid one.

"No, Plotina, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Why do you make me sound like a scumbag who's always going to lose sight of the big picture?"

Lucius, angry.

He could have chosen to hide away and watch this drama of women fighting as an outsider.

It was not a rational decision to get involved in the battle, but Lucius did it anyway.

Because he had to prove one thing:

"I may be a little too philanthropic, but I take every relationship very seriously."

“Once I decide to love, I will be ready to give my heart, my love, and my life to the other person.”

"Whether it's Iveliya, Nora, or you... no matter how many people there are, I will make sure everyone has a happy mouth!"

If he doesn't even have this much awareness, how can Brother Lu become the harem king! ?

"Brother Lucius..."

Noila's pupils trembled, and her clenched fingers relaxed quietly.

Lucius used "Calm" on Nora, and it worked wonders!

Nora's danger is greatly reduced!

Ivylia: Oh my god, Brother Lu didn’t lie to me!

Let him take action, he can really be the C!

Now I have to hold my thighs tightly.

Lumen!

"Huh, glib."

"Everyone can say nice things, but things in this world cannot be achieved just by thinking."

Plotina turned her face away, trying to hide something with a nonchalant tone.

Only the disobedient, pounding heart in her chest indicated her restlessness at the moment.

Every beat seemed to refute her apparent indifference, telling the truth that she was unwilling to say.

Although "Seeing Distraction" can no longer sense Lucius' emotions, it can still distinguish the truth from falsehood in his words.

He was serious and didn't say a single word falsely.

Really, this will only make me more and more unwilling to accept the future outcome...

I really want to be with Lucius forever.

Plotina sighed and immediately lost the desire to continue adding fuel to the fire.

She looked at the mess she had created with disinterest—

Nora's hostility towards Iveliya, which had already reached its peak, suddenly dropped because of Lucius's words.

As long as Lucius said a few more nice and considerate words, it would not be impossible for the two of them to shake hands and make peace on the spot and become sisters in name only.

Plotina had no doubt about this conjecture; Lucius did have such magical powers.

However, she was in no mood to watch such a boring drama.

In that case, let's go.

Plotina stood up gracefully and patted her skirt gently.

"Oh, it's getting late."

She looked at the sunlight outside the window, and there was no emotion in her voice:

"I promised Sister Octavia that I would return to the palace early, so I won't bother you any further."

She turned to Lucius and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for the treat, Lucius. The cake is delicious."

"If you need help with those investigations, you can always come to me."

"I'll send it to you."

Lucius raised his eyebrows and made a move to stand up.

"No need."

Plotina quickly stepped forward and gently pressed his shoulder to stop him.

There was a sly hint of playfulness in her eyes, and a meaningful smile played on the corner of her mouth:

"You should take care of your own affairs first, great lover."

Then, she looked at Nora, who was alert and defensive, and her smile deepened:

"Miss Brunel, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you can forgive my presumptuous questions."

"After all, as Lucius' fiancée, it's inevitable that I would be particularly concerned about certain things."

Nora pursed her lips, straightened her back, and nodded calmly.

"It's alright, Your Highness. I wish you a safe journey."

Finally, Plotina's gaze fell on Iveliya, but her expression was still not very friendly:

"I've heard of Miss Iveliya from my sister a long time ago. Today, I finally got to see her in person. She's truly worthy of her reputation."

"I hope we'll have the opportunity to...communicate harmoniously in the future."

Iveliya smiled carelessly:

"I look forward to it, Your Highness."

After saying this, she turned and left with an elegant posture and calm steps, like a queen returning victoriously, escaping unscathed from the fierce battle of swords and sabers.

After Plotina left, the atmosphere in the mansion fell into a strange stagnation.

Nora's eyes were fixed on Ivilia, and the deep hostility in her almost solidified into substance.

Comfort is time-limited. After calming down, Nora recalled the imbalance between herself and Ivilia, and her anger rose again.

And Iveliya moved restlessly on the sofa, feeling as if she was in a python's lair, and the feeling of suffocation from being entangled was already rising.

Alas, in the end it is Brother Lu who has to take action.

Lucius looked at Ivilia's frightened expression, then looked at Nora's cold eyes, took a deep breath, and decided to take responsibility:

"Nora, I think I might need to explain something. I..."

"Brother Lucius."

Nora interrupted him gently, a sweet smile reappearing on her face:

"I know you've always been like this, so gentle that you can't bear to see anyone get hurt."

She gently took his hand and drew circles on his palm with her fingertips:

"But there are some things that girls can communicate more easily with each other."

"Can you give Miss Ivilia and me some privacy?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."

She tilted her little face upwards, her eyes gleaming with a tender pleading look.

Nora: I can't let Brother Lucius affect my mood anymore!

The anger she had accumulated with great difficulty was instantly cleared out because of a word, a look, or a gentle touch. How could she still confront others?

Nora has not forgotten her original intention, and today she must carry out the matter of launching an expedition to hold the culprit accountable to the end.

"this......"

Lucius hesitated, frowning slightly. He subconsciously looked at Ivilia, his eyes full of worry.

Are you relieved?

To be honest, I'm a little worried.

Brother Lu was very scared that if he left now, he would have to collect Xiao Ai's body when he came back.

Wow, don’t do that kind of thing!

To Lucius's surprise, Iveliya nodded in response to his gaze.

“Brother Lu, it’s okay. Noila and I really need to have a good talk.”

Iveliya had realized by now that perhaps she could handle this sticky situation better without Lucius present.

My little Nora, my sword is not bad either!

Now that Iveliya has expressed this, what else can Lucius say?

Finally, he nodded helplessly:

"Okay, since you all think so, then I'll elbow you."

"But you two can't start a fight and ruin the peace, okay?"

"Why do you think of me like this, Brother Lucius?"

Nora blinked her clear eyes, raised her little fist and gently hit Lucius's arm, saying coquettishly:

"You know, I'm not that rude girl."

Her words were light and lively, and her behavior was intimate and natural, sounding like a girlfriend flirting with her boyfriend.

But the alarm bells in Iviliya's heart have begun to ring.

Lucius stood up, took one last look at Iveliya, gave her a look that told her to fend for herself, and then left the room.

When Lucius's footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor, Nora's expression changed immediately.

The mask of gentleness and loveliness was completely removed, the eyes that were originally filled with smiles froze into ice, and the arc at the corners of the lips was pursed into a sharp straight line.

"Now......"

Nora slowly stood up and looked down at Ivylia:

"We can talk now, Iveliya."

Iveliya swallowed involuntarily, but she forced herself to straighten her back and face the coming storm.

"How does it feel to grow up with brother Lucius?"
