The relationship between Domitian and Tiberius is definitely not as simple as he said, and it may be related to the actions of the Chaos Cult.

The current situation is most likely a play performed by Domitian, which has led to some wrong judgments.

Maybe, in some corner, there is a photo stone recording everything?

"Uncle hopes that I will support Tiberius as well?"

Lucius glanced around and then asked directly.

"Yes."

Domitian paused, then said in a caring tone of an elder:

"I understand there may be some... misunderstandings between you and His Highness Tiberius."

"But these are minor matters. I am willing to mediate and help you resolve the conflict."

"After all, for the future of our family and the empire, we need to unite."

Lucius almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

Is it a misunderstanding?

There is absolutely no misunderstanding. I kick Tiberius, this wild dog, every time I see him.

"Uncle's proposal is indeed quite tempting."

I'm so tired, so alone

Lucius raised his lips in a mocking arc:

"But, I refuse."

Domitian's face darkened instantly:

"why?"

"It's very simple."

Lucius stood up and looked down at Domitian:

"If a mad dog barks at me for no reason, should I buy food to apologize to it and smooth things over?"

Iveliya:!!!

Handsome! Lu Ge! Handsome!

Domitian: ???

These words were like a loud slap in Domitian's face.

He never expected that Lucius would express his attitude so directly and mercilessly.

"Lucius!"

Domitian stood up angrily and shouted:

"How could you be so disrespectful to His Highness Tiberius?"

"As the future guardian of the East, your style of behavior is likely to lead the entire family into the abyss!"

"Lead to the abyss?"

Lucius sneered and retorted:

"Uncle seems to have made a mistake. Only incompetent people and lapdogs who rely on their masters would drag the family into the abyss."

Domitian's rage was completely ignited. He could no longer control his emotions and slammed the table and stood up:

"Insanity!"

"Lucius, are you planning to fight the entire empire with the power of one realm?"

Domitian's eyes flashed with anger, and his voice became sharp:

"What gave you the confidence?"

"Let alone anything else, the souls of past emperors sleeping in the royal artifact 'Helios' alone are beyond your ability to resolve!"

Helios, the inherited artifact of the Basileus family, is both offensive and defensive. On weekdays, it just quietly provides a defensive barrier for Splenda.

But inside Helios, there is a space called "Paradise". When each generation of emperors is about to die, they will abandon their bodies and enter the space to sleep in the form of souls.

With the nourishment of the power of the divine weapon, the strength of the soul body will far exceed that of its living state.

When necessary, the contemporary emperor can awaken the ancestral souls in Helios to provide assistance to him.

Because of this characteristic, Lucius prefers to call Helios the "Ancestor Launcher".

Back to the point, facing Domitian's threats, Lucius still maintained that outrageous indifference:

"Uncle, there's no need to know what gave me the confidence."

"Just like right now, my uncle is obviously a rank ten warrior, it should be easy for him to attack me, but..."

Lucius paused and adjusted his clothes easily:

"Uncle, do you have the courage to do this to me?"

Domitian's body shook violently when he heard this.

Indeed, even though Lucius was just standing there, he felt that Lucius was terrifyingly strong, and his intuition told him that he must not take action.

Seeing Domitian's face turning pale and blue but not daring to move, Lucius knew that there was no need to continue this conversation.

"Xiao Ai, let's go."

He chuckled, called Iveliya and turned to walk towards the door.

When he reached the door, he stopped and said without turning his head:

"Uncle, one last reminder. I know you and Tiberius have some ulterior motives."

"However, you'd better not let me catch you by the tail, and don't show up in front of me."

"After all, Tiberius is just a prince now."

"If he really wants to be my enemy, he'd better have the courage to let the empire burn."

After saying this, Lucius and Ivelia strode out of the study, leaving Domitian standing there alone with a livid face.

But after Lucius left, Domitian's expression strangely returned to calm...

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

In the evening, the sun sets and the entire Splanda sky is dyed golden red.

A carriage drove out of the inner court of the palace in a low-key manner and headed straight for the residence of the Brunhild family.

Plotina sat in the carriage with mixed feelings.

After ten years, this was the first time Nora took the initiative to invite her to be a guest.

Plotina knew that at this sensitive moment, Nora's invitation meant only one thing - a showdown.

After much consideration, Plotina finally decided to keep the appointment.

Lucius, Lucius, this is not my problem. Nora came to me on her own initiative.

The carriage stopped in front of the Brunhilde mansion. Plotina took a deep breath, straightened her dress, and then stepped out of the carriage gracefully.

The maid was already waiting at the door and respectfully led her into the living room.

Nora has been waiting here for a long time.

"Your Highness Plotina."

Nora stood up and bowed politely:

"Thank you for your presence."

"Miss Nora."

Plotina nodded slightly, maintaining a polite and distant attitude.

"I'm glad to receive your invitation."

The attitudes of both seemed strange and polite, as if they were really strangers meeting for the first time.

In the following time, the two began to exchange seemingly normal greetings.

They talked about the recent weather and the new things in the imperial capital, and then the topic inevitably turned to Lucius.

"Did Princess Plotina go to see The Ring of the Nibelung?"

Nora asked casually:

"I went to see it with Brother Lucius a few days ago. It's a good work. I recommend you to watch it if you have time."

"is it?"

Plotina blinked, raised her teacup and took a sip:

"Thanks for the recommendation. I'll go watch it with Lucius when I have time. But we just watched Pride and Prejudice together last night, so let him rest for two days."

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Plotina looked at Nora, who stared back at her without hesitation.

Their eyes met in the air, and it seemed as if sparks could fly.

In this way, the two of them kept showing off to each other the time they spent with Lucius, as if they were determined to compete with each other.

It was not until the sensitive topic of Plotina staying overnight at Lucius's house was brought up that Nora finally showed her true colors.

"Sister Plotina."

Nora put down her teacup and looked directly into Plotina's eyes:

"I already know that Brother Lucius has recovered his memory."

Nora's way of addressing Plotina returned to the old way of addressing her, "Sister Plotina".

Plotina's hand trembled slightly, but soon returned to normal:

"What do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is..."

Nora stood up and her tone became tough:

"Even so, I won't give Brother Lucius to you. Don't expect me to bow to you!"

There was a determined glint in her eyes, like a little beast ready to fight to the end.

I was introverted and cowardly back then, but now I am a completely different person!

I'll let you know how strong I have become!

However, to Nora's surprise, facing her declaration of war, Plotina was only stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook her head.

"Nora, you think too much."

Plotina's attitude was surprisingly calm, and she even had a gentle smile on her face:

"At this point, I no longer have the obsession to monopolize Lucius."

"You know, some birds are not meant to be caged."

"Instead of fighting in vain, why not learn to share? Why do we have to fight to the death?"

She looked at Nora, her eyes full of sincerity:

"Let's share Lucius!"

Nora: ???

This answer was completely beyond Nora's expectations.

She had been prepared to fight Plotina to the end, but Plotina's attitude made her feel like a punch on cotton.

Plotina seemed to have really changed, becoming extremely unfamiliar to her.

Ten years is enough to change a person's character and thoughts.

The once proud and possessive princess is now willing to share actively?
