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

Lucius asked Baron Richard.

"No, she died ten years ago."

Baron Ramirez replied:

"However, her descendants are still in Splenda, running a bookstore, and their business is pretty good."

It can be seen that this family is indeed very concerned about the original author's arrangement of them, otherwise they would not have such a clear understanding of the movements of their descendants.

"Can you tell me the address of that bookstore?"

"I think it might have something to do with your mother's situation."

Lucius' eyes lit up with interest.

Baron Richard nodded and wrote down the address:

"I hope you can solve this mystery, Lord Lucius."

"It feels really... weird that Mom has suddenly become so young."

Afterwards, Lucius and Iveliya asked some more detailed questions and soon said goodbye to the Ramirez family.

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

At the same time, on the other side of the imperial capital, a figure quietly left the palace and headed towards an ordinary-looking mansion.

This person was none other than the second prince Tiberius.

He wore a simple cloak that concealed his identity well.

After making sure no one was following him, he quickly walked into the back door of the mansion.

Inside the mansion, Chris was leisurely sipping tea, as if she had anticipated his arrival.

"Oh, is the Second Prince here?"

Chris put down her teacup and a smile appeared on her lips.

Tiberius took off his cloak, his face filled with anxiety:

"How is the plan going? Why hasn't Lucius been dealt with by you yet?"

Chris's smile deepened, but a barely perceptible coldness flashed in her eyes:

"Patience, little prince, everything is going according to plan."

"Lucius will get the 'treatment' he deserves in due time."

For example, I locked him in the basement and subjected him to the ultimate humiliation!

By the way, did I reveal too many clues to him before?

He wouldn't be able to guess my identity right away, right?

It wouldn't be fun if it was exposed too early.

Chris stood up lightly and walked to the window, her tone carrying a hint of mystery:

"Now, I'm more concerned about how your part of the plan is going? Has your father's attitude towards you changed?"

Upon hearing this, Tiberius's face immediately darkened:

"My father is still extremely cold to me, even worse than before."

"He lectured me again yesterday because one of my reports wasn't detailed enough."

"Damn it, Lucius actually looks more like his son!"

"Poor little prince~"

Chris pretended to be sympathetic and even wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes:

"Your father is really too harsh~"

"But don't worry, if our plan succeeds, you'll be out of this situation soon."

Tiberius' eyes immediately filled with burning anticipation:

"So... can that thing really succeed?"

"I can really..."

"of course."

Chris interrupted him, her fingers gently stroking an ancient book, her voice filled with bewitching power:

"As long as the plan is completed, you will receive the Supreme Being's blessing, successfully ascend to a demon, gain the power of a true god, and become the new master of this empire."

Haha, just teasing you~

I have the ability, but why should I satisfy you?

You are just a pawn in the plan that can be sacrificed at any time.

Tiberius on the opposite side had his eyes shining as he heard this, as if he had already seen the day when he would be crowned emperor.

When the time comes, I will definitely settle accounts with all those who look down on me!

"I will continue to follow your instructions."

He spoke impatiently, his emotions agitated:

"I'd do anything to get that power."

Chris nodded with satisfaction, but sneered in her heart.

Unaware chess pieces are always so easy to fool.

"Then continue to keep a low profile, little prince."

Chris turned to look out the window again and spoke softly:

"I'll let you know when the time is right."

Tiberius nodded solemnly, put on his cloak again, and quietly left the mansion.

After he left, Chris's laughter suddenly rang out and echoed in the room -

"Hahaha, this idiot is barely qualified as a stepping stone."

"Dear [Quanyi], I hope you like this little gift from me~"

PS: I am alone at home late at night, typing in loneliness.

105-Chris, strike again! (8k5)

On the way back, Lucius and Iveliya were both immersed in the information they had just obtained from the investigation, each with their own thoughts.

The carriage traveled through the bustling streets of the imperial capital. Outside the window were bustling crowds of people and towering buildings, but inside the carriage was quiet.

"so......"

Lucius broke the silence and asked with interest:

"What exactly is the situation with Lady Charlotte?"

"Um......"

Iveliya frowned slightly, organized her words, and replied:

"From my observation, she has indeed become rejuvenated."

"This is a peculiar phenomenon called retroversion, which can trace an individual's time back to a certain point in the past."

"Backward..."

Lucius chewed on the word, tapping his knee lightly.

"In other words, this is a time reversal that only affects the individual, not a time travel like you did."

"Yes, Brother Lu, the situation is completely different."

Iveliya nodded and explained seriously:

"Based on the information I've seen, it seems like my situation is more difficult to achieve."

Lucius raised his hand and rubbed his temple:

"No matter what the situation is, being associated with the Chaos Cult forces one to take it seriously."

"Interfering with time, even if it's just for an individual, is already an extremely terrifying power."

What if there’s a priest on the opposite side who wants to speed up time and surpass heaven? Wouldn’t that be a disaster?

Alas, time is like a knife that cuts down the geniuses, and the road to immortality is filled with enchantment!

"And the question about Pride and Prejudice..."

Lucius leaned back on the soft cushions and sighed:

"Almost all the strange things that have happened so far are related to this play. It seems that we will be busy tonight."

"Does that mean..."

Iveliya blinked and smiled cunningly:

"Can I go with you tonight?"

"of course."

Lucius smiled and nodded:

"You are my capable secretary, how can I do without you?"

"Hehe~ It's okay, just rely on me a little more, Brother Lu~"

Iveliya puffed out her chest proudly, but what she was thinking in her heart was——

Hehehe, Plotina, you must be looking forward to our time together tonight, right?

Look, Sister Ai will give you a scare!

As the carriage approached Clovis's residence, Lucius's thoughts drifted further and further away.

He needed more information, and the only one who could help him now was probably the omniscient Supreme Being.

...........

After returning to the official residence, Iveliya immediately started to organize the investigation materials.

Lucius paced back and forth in the study, wondering whether he should contact Destiny again.

Using Fateful Echo means owing more "rewards", and Lucius doesn't know what kind of reward Fate wants.

What stands before Lucius now is a bottomless abyss. If he takes a wrong step, he may be doomed.

However, in the current situation, it seems that only [fate] can give the answer.

"Whatever, the debt is owed."

Lucius seemed to have made up his mind and muttered to himself:

"If that doesn't work, just give me the hook!"

These days, the one who owes debts is the boss!

Then, Lucius sat on the chair and took out the Fate Echo fragment that Chris gave him from the storage space.

To his surprise, when he placed the bead in his palm, the fragment given by the emperor also appeared, and the two beads were connected together in the blink of an eye.
