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

When the two girls reached an agreement and were about to end the conversation, Lucius pretended to have just returned from the study and returned to the reception room on time.

Return to the present.

Lucius looked at the two people who suddenly became as close as sisters, and displayed a wave of true movie emperor-level acting skills.

"That was a real surprise."

The corners of his lips curled up perfectly, and his voice was filled with just the right amount of relief:

"I was worried that you would have a conflict, but now it seems that I was worrying too much."

"I'm sorry, Brother Lucius."

Nora lowered her eyes and spoke softly:

"I was a little impulsive just now. Actually, Iveliya is a considerate and good girl."

"That's what I'm saying, Brother Lu!"

Ivylia hugged Nora's shoulders affectionately and winked playfully:

“The people in Nora are so nice too!”

It would have been better if Nora's body hadn't stiffened.

"Ivelia!"

Noila raised her watery eyes, with a touch of emotion in them.

"Nora!"

Iveliya also responded with a loving gaze, a gentle smile on her lips.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with each other's figure.

It is a wonderful drama of sisters who have gone through all the hardships and who meet and laugh together to forget their grudges.

Lucius: ...

You can fool Brother Lu, but don’t fool yourself.

Also, this is the set of Lu Ge's harem of the male protagonist. The two of you are so intimate. I think you want to be beaten by Lu Ge's white broken iron fist????

After a moment of silence, a relieved smile appeared on Lucius's face.

Then, he strode forward, opened his arms, and embraced Nora and Iveliya at the same time:

"It's better for the three of us to live a good life than anything else."

Ivylia winked at Nora complacently, as if to say:

"See, Sister Ai didn't lie to you, did she?"

Nora leaned on Lucius' chest like a docile cat, with an elusive light in her eyes.

"Brother Lucius."

Feeling Lucius's strong heartbeat, Nora suddenly spoke softly, her voice filled with cautious tentativeness and expectation:

"So, are you and I now also a 'community of shared destiny'?"

The question made Iveliya narrow her eyes dangerously.

Iveliya: The stinky green-haired man is eating and taking at the same time, right?

Why do you want everything?

This is the exclusive bond between Lu Ge and me, don’t go too far!

Brother Lu! You must not agree to her!

"No."

Lucius looked at Nora seriously and shook his head slowly.

Nora's expression immediately darkened, and her eyes were filled with moist mist, filled with loss and sadness.

"Because you have long been a part of my life."

Lucius brushed the corner of Nora's eye with his fingertips and continued gently:

"We have long been inseparable. In the gaps between my heartbeats, the rhythm of your name is hidden."

Noila Mo's pupils suddenly contracted, and the gloom on her face was immediately swept away, and she bloomed into an incomparably bright smile.

Her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes were filled with happiness.

"Brother Lucius..."

Nora murmured softly, barely able to speak.

Iveliya looked at this scene, smiling on the surface but rolling her eyes in her heart.

Hehe, Brother Lu’s words are deceiving.

Plotina was right, Lugo was really a romantic.

Just like that, the two girls who were originally at loggerheads with each other completely became friends under the witness of Lucius - at least on the surface.

By noon, the servants had already prepared a sumptuous meal in the dining room.

The three of them sat around the dining table in a harmonious atmosphere.

At the dinner table, Nora and Iveliya behaved like old friends, exchanging glances from time to time and sharing "Lu's intelligence" in front of Lucius.

For a moment, even Lucius found it difficult to join in their conversation.

Oh, I'm depressed.

After lunch, Lucius wiped his mouth and invited Iveliya and Nora:

"I'm going to the Wisdom Corridor to conduct an on-site investigation this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course!"

Nora immediately nodded in agreement, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Ivylia was about to agree, but suddenly noticed the look Nora gave her.

The meaning in that look is self-evident——

Remember our agreement, Iveliya.

Iveliya: ...

woman!

Iveliya sighed in her heart.

Now is not the time to be jealous. In order to consolidate the newly formed alliance, she decided to give up this opportunity.

Continue to endure!

"I......"

Iveliya showed a troubled expression at the right moment, so she said:

"After you were appointed Imperial Commissioner yesterday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent over a large amount of information."

"I'd better stay home and help you sort out the information instead of joining in all this fun."

Lucius raised his eyebrows slightly, taking in the silent conversation between Ivilia and Nora, and then a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Okay, then I'll go spend some time with Nora~"

Then he turned to Nora and asked:

"Get ready, we'll leave in half an hour?"

"Ok!"

Nora agreed excitedly.

Half an hour later, Lucius and Nora left the residence and walked to the Corridor of Wisdom, leaving Iveliya alone at home sulking.

However, Iveliya was not really unhappy.

She knew that this was just a necessary sacrifice in the early stages of the alliance.

As long as they can successfully join forces to deal with Plotina, a temporary loss will not matter.

“Let’s play…”

Iveliya muttered as she began flipping through the already curled-up "Secrets of Victory":

"It's all mine at night anyway."

...............

Lucius held Nora's hand and strolled along the Luminara River.

The afternoon sun is warm but not dazzling, the river water sparkles with golden light, and the breeze caresses the river, bringing bursts of floral fragrance.

The two figures stretched out along the river bank, and the combination of handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many passers-by.

The two of them walked slowly along the river bank towards the Corridor of Wisdom, talking and laughing along the way, as if they had returned to the carefree days of the past.

"By the way, speaking of the Corridor of Wisdom, does Brother Lucius still remember the 'big incident' that happened when we were kids?"

Nora suddenly asked, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

"Ok?"

Lucius raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then revealed an expression of sudden enlightenment:

"Oh! You mean that time..."

"It was when I borrowed the book 'Dragon Ecology' from the Corridor of Wisdom."

Nora curled a strand of hair with her fingertips and chuckled:

"After reading the description in the book, you scoffed and said the author was just imagining things and had never seen a real dragon."

"—and then you just blew super hot dragon breath right there in the library."

"As expected, it caused a fire and the entire library was in chaos."

"That's right, that's right."

Lucius nodded repeatedly, looking proud.

"Ever since that incident, the Wisdom Corridor has used the gold coins Old Deng provided as compensation to fully upgrade its firefighting measures... Hmm? That's not right."

Lucius's expression suddenly changed and his brows were tightly furrowed.

The Wisdom Corridor cost Lao Deng a lot of gold coins at that time, and he also invited a tenth-level strongman to set up a fire element restriction. It should be impossible for a fire to start inside.

In other words, the Chaos Cult went through so much trouble just to take away a few books?

Are those books that important?

......

Just as Lucius was immersed in his thoughts, a sudden noise came from the front.

Following the sound, I saw a large group of people gathered in the small square by the river.

Most of them were young couples, who gathered in front of a small stall, looking excited and talking a lot.

"what is that?"

Lucius asked curiously.

Nora looked in the direction of the voice, her eyes suddenly lit up:

"Ah, I see! That's the booth of the fortune teller who's very famous in Splenda this year!"

"A fortune teller?"

Lucius repeated with interest.

"Ok!"

Nora nodded vigorously and explained excitedly:

"I heard that this fortune teller is very accurate in predicting love, career, and other matters, and is especially popular among young people."
