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

"Then...what's the second purpose?"

Plotina pretended to be calm and asked softly, but she didn't dare look directly at Lucius, for fear that he would see through her inner throbbing.

"I would like to invite you to go out of the palace for a tour."

Lucius spoke bluntly, his voice filled with anticipation:

"After all, we are an engaged couple, but we haven't been able to get along well in this period of time."

"I have some free time today, why don't we go out for a walk together to enhance our mutual understanding and feelings."

Plotina was slightly stunned, then showed an incredible expression.

She had never expected Lucius to make such an invitation.

A sweet ripple arose in her heart, and memories of ten years ago came flooding back like a tide.

At that time, she, Lucius... oh yes, and Nora, the three of them often wandered through the streets and alleys of the imperial capital together, discovering one secret base after another that belonged only to them.

Ten years have passed, a full ten years. Will she be able to experience such a happy time again?

"Do you want to?"

Seeing Plotina silent, Lucius asked in a low voice, his eyes gentle and expectant.

Hehehe, you'd better agree.

Because Brother Lu has been holding it in for a long time and is ready to explode with you tonight.

"Um, okay."

Plotina barely suppressed her inner joy and nodded calmly.

"I don't have any plans for today anyway. But I need to change my clothes first, this one is too casual."

"No problem, I'll wait for you in the living room."

Lucius nodded readily.

After breakfast, Plotina walked into the cloakroom and stood in front of the huge wardrobe, falling into an unprecedented dilemma.

On weekdays, she didn't care too much about her attire, as long as it was decent and in line with her status as a princess.

But today is different, she is going to travel with Lucius. A girl's feelings are always poetic, and she hopes to show her best side in front of him.

"Things that are too fancy are not suitable for strolling, and things that are too plain seem not important enough..."

Plotina grumbled, taking out dresses one by one and rejecting them one by one.

"Really? Why is it so hard to choose..."

A look of deep worry appeared on the girl's pretty face.

If her sister knew about this, she would definitely laugh at her, right?

Just then, Plotina's eyes fell on the row of black stockings deep in the closet.

After Lucius mentioned it to her that day, she immediately sent someone to buy it.

There are various thicknesses, neatly arranged together, as if waiting for her favor.

"this......"

A hint of hesitation flashed across Plotina's face, but she then made up her mind.

In the end, she chose a pair of transparent black stockings of moderate thickness and paired it with a dark umbrella skirt.

The upper body is a white silk shirt, matched with a beige beret. The overall shape is elegant and sweet, with a light and mature charm.

After getting dressed, Plotina stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.

The black stockings clung to her slender legs, shimmering subtly in the sunlight and perfectly outlining the graceful and smooth curves of her legs.

The perfect thickness of the stockings provides coverage while revealing the skin, exuding a mysterious allure.

"Hopefully he'll like it..."

Plotina whispered softly, a faint blush appearing on her face.

When she appeared in front of Lucius in this outfit, Lucius' eyes lit up instantly.

His aggressive gaze unconsciously fell on her legs, and then quickly returned to her face, full of appreciation.

Lucius's reaction alone made Plotina feel satisfied. It seemed that all the hard work just now was not in vain.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Plotina whispered an apology, her eyelashes drooping slightly with a hint of shyness.

Lucius swallowed, trying to keep his eyes from drifting to the pair of beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings.

"Compared to the visual pleasure at this moment, the waiting time is totally worth it."

Plotina lowered her head slightly, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were stained with a faint blush, just like a rose bud about to bloom in early spring, so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Not long after, the two left the palace together in a carriage.

"Have you figured out where we're going?"

Lucius leaned back in his chair, looked at Plotina sitting opposite him, and suddenly asked this question.

"?"

Plotina originally thought that Lucius would arrange the itinerary, but was slightly taken aback by this question:

"Don't you have a plan?"

Lucius shook his head slightly, a meaningful smile curled up at the corner of his lips:

"The choice is yours. After all, you are the noble Emperor Tianlong Sister~"

"Compared to me, you should be more familiar with every street and alley in this city, every secret corner worth exploring."

Yes, Lucius is recreating his childhood experience this time.

Once upon a time, Plotina played the role of an explorer in a small group. She would obtain all kinds of intelligence from the well-informed Knights of the Blazing Sun, and then lead Lucius and Nora to explore one "secret base" after another on the streets of the imperial capital.

I spent a lot of money to visit the store, and I can tell whether it is real or fake.

As expected, Lucius' words immediately evoked memories deep in Plotina's heart.

Her heart trembled slightly and her eyes became moist.

She quietly lowered her eyes to hide the tears in her eyes, and nodded:

"Since you said so, then follow me. I promise I won't let you down."

The carriage stopped at the bustling Glory Square. Plotina and Lucius got out and blended into the crowd coming and going.

The sun was shining brightly, and it was neither too hot nor too cold when it shone on the two of them, bringing just the right temperature.

The Luminara River runs through the city. The water is crystal clear, reflecting the buildings on both sides and the blue sky.

On the cobblestone road by the river, couples walked hand in hand in twos and threes, their faces filled with happy smiles.

Plotina looked at those intimate figures and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

She secretly glanced at Lucius beside her, and an urge to hold hands with him surged in her heart.

But Plotina didn't dare to act rashly, so she could only place her hands awkwardly on the edge of her skirt, with her fingertips slightly curled.

Lucius: ...

Alas, the little cook is in trouble.

It seems that you still need to let other people put some pressure on you.

Brother Lu has been your pillow twice, but now you are still hesitant to even hold hands. How can you achieve anything great?

Lucius sighed, and as if they had telepathy, he reached out and held her hand.

His palm was warm and strong, and it wrapped around her slender fingers in an instant.

Plotina:!!!

"Lucius..."

She called his name, her voice trembling slightly.

Lucius looked down at her, his eyes like Hakimi who had caught a fun rat:

"What's wrong, Your Highness? Holding hands is normal, right?"

"We are an engaged couple. Isn't it more legitimate for us to do these things than those couples?"

The empire doesn't have so many complicated laws. Once engaged, there's not much difference between them and being a formal couple.

No one would or dared to take Brother Lu to the Public Security Bureau.

Plotina: ...

When Plotina heard the deliberately emphasized "Your Highness" again, she knew that Lucius was teasing her again.

She glared at him lightly, but did not pull her hand away. Instead, she quietly shook it back.

Their fingertips intertwined, their palms touching, and the warmth spread from their fingertips to their hearts.

"Don't call me Your Highness!"

Plotina protested quietly, but there was no real annoyance in her tone.

"Yes! Princess!"

Lucius spoke respectfully, but his actions were not respectful at all.

Plotina shook her head helplessly, but her heart was sweet.

Lucius who likes to play tricks on himself is also cute~

Under Plotina's guidance, the two strolled through the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, looking for secret corners known only to the locals.

She took Lucius through a narrow alley and came to a dessert shop hidden deep in the alley.

“The desserts here are the best in the entire capital!”

Plotina whispered, her eyes sparkling with excitement:

"I come here often. This is our secret. You can't tell anyone else."

Lucius immediately saluted solemnly and nodded.

"Don't worry, I've always kept my mouth shut! I'll take this secret to my grave!"

Lu Ge marked a location.

Bring Xiao Ai here tomorrow.

"There's no need to be so serious."

Plotina was amused by his seriousness and hit his arm lightly.

The owner of the dessert shop was a young lady. When she saw Plotina, she greeted her warmly:

"Miss Plotina, you came at the right time. We just added some new products to the store. Would you like to try them?"

Lucius looked at Plotina in surprise, he didn't expect that the sisters would go shopping under their real names.

The name Plotina is not very common in the empire, especially in Splenda. A little thought will easily lead to the name of the third princess.

Plotina's identity was not exposed, probably due to the public's stereotype.

After all, how could a noble princess be a regular customer of a small street shop?

The two sat down at a small table by the window and ordered the store's signature cream puffs and the new creative strawberry tart.

Plotina took a bite of the puff, and the fragrant cream flowed out and touched her lips.

Seeing this, Lucius picked up the napkin and gently wiped off the cream, his movements natural and intimate.

"you......"

Plotina hesitated for a moment:

"Why are you so skilled!?"

Instead of feeling shy, it triggered the instinctive reaction of catching someone cheating.
