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

"Other than that, there's nothing special about Mary. She's just an ordinary barmaid."

Mary's heart was on the right side instead of the left side. This seemingly inadvertent detail suddenly gave Lucius a flash of inspiration.

A heart on the right side... hollowed out...

"Well, my lord?"

Scott spoke triumphantly, his eyes unconsciously glancing at the purse on the table:

"Is my information detailed enough?"

Lucius nodded slightly and pushed the purse in front of Scott:

"Very professional indeed. Here's your reward."

"I'll stop here for today. If I need anything, I'll come back to you."

Scott took the purse ecstatically, quickly stuffed it into his pocket, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Lucius:

"This is my new address. Young Lord, if you want to see me next time, you can come there."

Then he added:

"But I can't guarantee that I will be there, after all..."

He made a gesture of being chased away and smiled self-deprecatingly.

After leaving the restaurant, Lucius found a secluded corner, waved his hand, and made a special gesture.

The next moment, a mysterious man covered in a black cloak appeared in front of Lucius.

This is the "Raven" member of the Clovis family.

"Follow the girl named Mary and pay close attention to her every move."

"Protect her if necessary."

Lucius ordered.

This was a valuable clue, and he couldn't let it slip through his fingers.

"Brother Lu, why do you care so much about that girl named Mary?"

Iveliya blinked and asked curiously:

"Is there something special about her?"

Lucius did not reveal the answer to the mystery, but only smiled mysteriously:

"This lady is truly special, and she may be able to help us uncover a larger mystery."

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

As night fell, Xiao Ai unexpectedly did not ask for public grain tonight.

Lucius was quite happy to have some free time, as there were some things he needed to verify in the simulation, and the sooner he knew the answer, the better.

Iveliya had fallen asleep in his arms, and the night breeze outside the window gently blew the curtains, bringing a hint of coolness.

Lucius took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and called out the system.

System, enter the "Gate of Tomorrow".

【Brother Lu, are you awake? 】

[Going to the "Gate of Tomorrow" to find the witch solo again? Have you forgotten the pain of being killed by her twice in a row?]

【I really doubt whether you are showing off your admiration. 】

Hehe, how can I allow your system to sow discord between Plotina and me?

Will my wife harm me?

Besides, there are some things that can only be answered quickly by asking her.

[Okay, okay~]

Good luck then!

Close your eyes, then open them again.

It was still the big bed in Clovis's official residence.

This place has become Lu Ge's default simulation birth point.

The sun was shining outside the window, and the wind blowing in was a bit cool. Obviously, it was early morning.

Lucius didn't waste any time. He quickly stood up, tidied his clothes, and headed straight for the palace.

The journey was still smooth and the knights guarding the palace gate turned a blind eye to Lucius's actions.

It seemed that the queen already knew that Lucius was coming, so she let him pass.

However, Lucius did not see Plotina in the throne room. The tall and majestic throne was empty.

After a brief thought, Lucius walked towards the inner court.

If nothing unexpected happened, Plotina should be in her own little palace.

Don’t ask, the answer is that we are in sync.

Sure enough, when Lucius walked through the winding corridor and came to Plotina's bedroom on the east side of the inner court, he saw the familiar figure.

The twenty-six-year-old Silent Queen stood under the tall laurel tree in the garden, stroking it quietly.

In the past ten years, the laurel tree has grown taller and straighter, and its lush branches and leaves almost cover the entire corner of the garden.

Not far from it, there is another relatively young but equally lush tree, which looks to be about the same height as the real laurel tree.

Plotina was wearing a pure white dress, with her long black hair simply tied into a bun. She looked mature and noble, yet with a hint of melancholy that was difficult to conceal.

Lucius called this feeling microsense.

Hearing Lucius's footsteps, Plotina slowly turned around with a gentle smile on her face.

"Lucius..."

She called softly, her voice carrying both the emperor's majesty and a touch of intimacy:

"You're here again."

Lucius stepped forward and smiled brightly:

"Hi, wife."

"...You~"

Plotina shook her head helplessly, her tone full of pampering:

"Since you call me that, does that mean you've already arrived in Splenda?"

"Did you have a smooth journey? Did you get enough rest?"

"I'm fine."

Lucius answered easily, his eyes darting up and down Plotina without hesitation:

"It's just that your condition isn't very good. You seem to be suffering from insomnia every day."

Hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Plotina's eyes, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

But she soon regained her composure.

She looked at Lucius, then walked up and gently took Lucius's hand.

"bring it on."

Her voice was soft and warm, completely different from the coldness and bad humor that Lucius had shown during his two previous visits:

"If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Lucius followed her obediently and sat down in the pavilion.

To be honest, Lucius was a little surprised by the Silent Queen's attitude.

She had no defense or hostility towards him at all, only the closeness and tenderness between lovers.

"Why don't you try to play a trick on me this time? I'm not used to you being so gentle."

Lucius asked, half jokingly.

Plotina rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:

"You already know everything you need to know, why would I tease you?"

"Besides, do you think I really want to kill you?"

She paused, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes:

"But what are you here for this time?"

"I can't tell you anything more than a hint about the past."

"I can't help you with Splenda's matter."

Lucius smiled and looked directly into Plotina's eyes:

"It's okay, that's not why I came here."

"I came here just to confirm one thing—"

"In reality, do you still retain your past memories?"

On this issue, Plotina in "Today's Dream" may also play Lucius, but the Silent Queen definitely will not.

Lucius has this confidence.

Plotina was startled, then she looked away guiltily and fell into a subtle silence.

"Hehe, even though your reaction has already told me the answer, I still want to hear you admit it yourself."

Seeing that Plotina remained silent, Lucius suddenly changed his tone:

"Plotina, you promised not to lie to me!"

"I know, I know. I just said no, so why are you so fierce?"

Plotina's delicate body trembled, and she raised her head aggrievedly:

"Yes, in reality I still retain all my memories of you."

"I just like you and I don't want to forget you. Are you satisfied now?"

Her lips were slightly pouty, and her eyes were sparkling with moisture.

You know what, Plotina, who has a mature charm, has a unique flavor when she makes this little expression.

"Hey, that's great, that's what I wanted to hear."

A satisfied smile appeared on Lucius's face, and then he slumped down in his chair and said:

"Okay, now that I know the answer, whether you want to kill me or not, I have no objection."

Plotina: ???

Okay, okay, you're using me as a tool, right?

"You bastard!"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes flashed with complex emotions:

"You came all the way here just for this? Just to make sure I still remember you?"

Then, she suddenly changed the subject, adding a dangerous and playful tone:

"Look down there again?"

under?

What can I do down there?

Lucius lowered his head in confusion, but was surprised to find that he didn't even have a piece of cloth on his body, and all his clothes were piled messily at his feet.

Apparently, he took it off by himself.

Lucius:? ? ?
