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

"Yes, Your Highness."

Fabian nodded and turned to leave, but there was a strange glint in his eyes.

On the surface, he was still a well-behaved son following his father Domitian.

But in reality, Fabian has now become a spy beside Domitian, monitoring his father's every move at any time.

Goodbye, father, and my cowardice!

Shortly after Fabian left, Domitian returned like a ghost.

After confirming that Fabian had gone far away, he approached Tiberius and whispered:

"Your Highness, what do you think of that 'Saint'?"

"I don't have any opinion."

Tiberius frowned and said irritably:

"It's just a beautiful vase, there's nothing special about it."

"I really don't know why Chris attaches so much importance to her."

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

The atmosphere of the palace banquet gradually heated up with the melodious dance music, and the melody flowing from the musicians' fingertips became more and more cheerful. Several pairs of men and women in luxurious clothes were dancing gracefully in the center of the dance floor, and their flying skirts brought gusts of fragrant breeze.

Almost at the moment the dance music started, everyone's eyes turned to Lucius.

Several noble daughters unconsciously adjusted their clothes and were about to step forward to invite them to dance.

"If you don't mind, you can come with me..."

"Sorry, he already has an appointment."

The poor girl had just taken a step when Lucius was dragged away by the four girls beside him, almost half pushed and half pulled away from the crowd.

"Brother Lucius, will you dance with me for the first time?"

Nora gently lifted the hem of her skirt as an invitation, her eyes full of anticipation.

"No."

Plotina immediately rejected the suggestion, her tone brooking no argument:

"As my fiancé, he should have his first dance with me."

"Stop blabbing, I got the first blood, Brother Lu!"

Iveliya slapped Plotina's hand away and said unyieldingly:

"Based on seniority, I should have priority!"

"Little ones~"

Octavia smiled softly and interrupted their argument:

"It's really ungraceful to argue like this. Why not let the young lord make his own decision?"

As she spoke, she turned to Lucius, who was surrounded in the center, and raised her red lips in a meaningful arc:

"What do you think, young lord?"

Four burning gazes fell on Lucius at the same time, and it seemed as if invisible sparks were crackling in the air.

"Uh......"

Lucius's Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, and he was at a loss for a moment.

So at this time, faced with this fatal choice, what will the romantic Lucius choose?

"Why don't you just play rock-paper-scissors and decide the order based on the winner."

Lucius: Haha, I don’t choose.

Only fools would make choices, while normal people would definitely throw the problem back.

Lu Ge is the real non-stick pan.

Although the girls were somewhat dissatisfied with his cunning way of handling the matter, they still quickly completed the battle match.

After several rounds of fierce competition, the final ranking is released:

Octavia took the lead, followed by Plotina, Nora in third place, and poor Ivelia had to come in last.

For the first dance, Octavia held Lucius's hand and gracefully walked into the center of the dance floor.

The musicians seemed to have received some hint and immediately switched to a fast-paced piece of music.

The music has a brisk beat, an exciting melody and is full of challenges.

Octavia's lips curled up slightly, her eyes gleaming with excitement:

"My Lord, are you ready?"

She whispered in Lucius' ear, and the rose perfume mixed with the heat of her breath brushed against his ear.

Lucius held her hand and smiled back with the same confidence:

"my pleasure."

To the sound of music, the two began a fast-paced dance that could almost be called a show of skill.

Octavia's dance steps are light and precise, and each movement is full of the perfect combination of strength and grace.

Lucius was not to be outdone, following the rhythm closely, sometimes leading, sometimes cooperating, drawing constant admiration from the audience around him.

Octavia's face was filled with intoxication. She had never met anyone with whom she was so compatible.

Octavia: I can't stand it anymore! I'm going to rape him tonight!

After the first dance, Lucius sent Octavia back to her seat amid the audience's warm applause, and then invited Plotina to the dance floor.

The musicians adjusted again, this time it was an elegant waltz with a slow and steady rhythm, full of nobility.

Plotina's dance is as noble and reserved as she is. Every movement seems to be carefully calculated, yet graceful and agile.

During a break in the rotation, Plotina suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Lucius, do you think when you forget someone, do you forget their voice first or their appearance first?"

“It’s a shortcoming.”

Lucius stared at Plotina, his tone soft but meaningful.

Plotina was slightly startled, and her dance steps missed a beat.

The tip of her shoe left a fleeting indentation on the surface of his boot, but it was quickly covered up by the next perfect movement.

Then Nora was like a light lark, and her emerald green skirt bloomed into a spring garden.

But the little gray-haired girl, Ivilia, was the most scheming. She deliberately danced the wrong steps and "accidentally" stepped on the hem of her skirt, and finally fell into Lucius' arms.

When the last dance ended, the four girls stood aside with satisfied smiles.

Even Plotina and Nora, who had been arguing with each other all night, temporarily put aside their hostility and enjoyed this rare happy moment together.

Finally, the banquet ended in laughter and joy.

Lucius said goodbye to the girls one by one, and then took Iveliya back to the official residence.

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

Late at night, Clovis's residence was silent.

Tonight, Lucius unexpectedly released part of Lu's power, changed his previous offensive strategy of eating small meals frequently, and increased his output.

The result was obvious. Iveliya, who was exposed to such intensity for the first time, was knocked unconscious again.

Lucius quietly climbed out of the bedroom window and landed lightly on the grass in the garden.

Clouds float in the night sky, stars appear and disappear, the silver moonlight is sometimes obscured, and sometimes shines on the earth, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night.

The cool night breeze blew on Lucius's face, bringing with it the delicate fragrance of lilies and roses in the garden.

Lucius skillfully avoided his own guards and sneaked along a secluded path towards the palace.

The streets along the way were almost deserted, with only the occasional patrol breaking the night's tranquility.

At such times, Lucius would cleverly hide in the shadows and wait patiently for the danger to pass.

The royal palace stood in the center of Splenda, its tall walls glowing a cold silver in the moonlight.

The palace was more heavily guarded at night than during the day, and ordinary people could not get close to it, but this did not pose a problem for Lucius.

Isn’t it just a city wall?

Look at Brother Lu climbing up with his bare hands!

However, just as Lucius climbed over the wall, an unexpected figure blocked his way.

"you......"

The Knight of the Blazing Sun, wearing shining armor, looked Lucius up and down with a somewhat awkward expression.

"Ahahaha, Uncle Manna, the moon is really bright tonight~"

Lucius's expression was also a little confused, and he could only scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.

Damn it, why is the dignified Knight of the Burning Sun guarding the city wall?

Can't we just send a team of guards to patrol for this kind of thing?

This time he died before he could accomplish his mission.

The person standing in front of Lucius was also an old acquaintance, the Knight of the Sun, Mainna, who had often served as Plotina's guard outside the palace during his childhood.

"Why would the future guardian of the East Territory choose to take another path instead of the main gate?"

Hearing Lucius addressing him, Mainna was stunned for a moment, and then a meaningful light flashed in his eyes.

"Steal, steal jade, steal incense?"

Lucius was an honest and good boy, and he stated his purpose directly.

Since we're going to return empty-handed tonight anyway, we might as well do something.

"..."

A few dark lines appeared on Mainna's face.

But then, he did something that stunned Lucius—

The honest knight stepped aside, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and murmured softly:

"Indeed, the moon tonight is a real moon~"

Obviously, the Knight of the Blazing Sun was prepared to turn a blind eye to Lucius's nighttime break-in at the palace.

Lucius:? ? ?

good chance!

Run!

Lucius, like a ghost, silently passed through layers of defense and headed straight for the inner court of the palace.

Inside the inner court, the garden is picturesque.

The moonlight shone on the carefully trimmed shrubs, giving them a silver halo.

The water columns of the fountain sparkled like pearls in the night and made a pleasant sound.

Lucius walked through the gardens with ease—it was the palace, a place he had often visited as a child.

Finally, he stopped in front of an ivory-white palace, which was Octavia's bedroom.

Surprisingly, there were no guards here and the door was ajar, so Lucius quietly pushed the door open and walked in.

The bedroom was silent and quiet, with only a few lights emitting faint light, filling the space with a hazy warmth.

The air was filled with the faint scent of roses, mixed with a hint of Octavia's unique fragrance, forming an enchanting atmosphere.

Just as Lucius was about to move on, a slight exclamation came from the room.

"Who...who's there?"

A frightened voice sounded, trembling and weak.
