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

"It's amazing! I didn't see any flaws at all!"

Lucius:? ? ?

Wait, is this guy seriously ill?

Why am I even more excited?

Seeing Lucius's confused and shocked expression, Chris smiled even more widely.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, tried to calm herself down and said:

"Honey, are you wondering why I'm not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

"This is why I like you, you always bring me unexpected surprises."

"Yeah, what's the point of everything going according to the script I set?"

"It's this kind of performance full of variables, with the actors struggling towards an unpredictable ending, that's the most interesting!"

Chris closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling.

A minute later, she stopped laughing and her eyes became serious:

"Honey, I want to make a bet with you."

"bet?"

Lucius was stunned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Let's bet on whether you can find a way to save Plotina on your own."

Chris stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Lucius:

"Plotina has about a week left."

"After today, I will not interfere in Splenda's affairs anymore."

"I can even temporarily retain the souls of those sacrifices that Tiberius will offer to me in the future."

Her voice was solemn yet also a little tempting:

"If you win, I can return all the sacrifices. No one will be hurt, and no one will die."

"But if you lose..."

Chris paused for a moment, revealing a regretful and sympathetic smile:

"There won't be any punishment. After all, the price of failure is already painful enough for you."

"Do you dare to bet?"

She stared at Lucius with a burning gaze, her eyes full of provocation.

"Okay, I'll bet."

This time, Lucius took the initiative to reach out and hold Chris's hand.

The next second, Lucius suddenly displayed his exquisite grappling skills.

In a blink of an eye, Chris was controlled by him from the front, one of her arms was twisted behind her back, and her throat was locked by his other arm.

"what?"

Chris let out a confused cry, but she didn't look panicked at all. Instead, she looked a little mischievous and curious.

"My dear, what are you going to do?"

"Do you want to do something that we both like to do?"

"Although I don't mind, this is at the gate of the palace."

"At least let me put up a barrier first. You are the only one who can see my body."

Chris's shameless remarks made Lucius laugh.

"hehe!"

He said viciously:

"Wherever your sinful little hands reach, evil will spread!"

"And you left an 'anchor' on Plotina. Even if you said it was to save her, who knows what other intentions you had!"

"Don't think I'll completely believe your words just because you're doing it for Plotina's good!"

"Today, for the sake of the Prime Material Plane, I will strike hard at you, the abominable evil god, and vent my anger!"

As he said that, Lucius dragged Chris towards the interior of the palace.

His goal is clear—

Find a small dark room where no one will disturb you, and then give this troublemaker who always causes trouble a good lesson.

After all, in the simulation, Chris is only at level ten.

He might have been fed with grass before, but now that he had slain countless evil demons and been strengthened to a terrifying level, he was naturally in a completely different situation.

He will let Chris know what the hardest thing in the world is.

Soon, Lucius found a suitable place.

This is a storage room. Few people come here usually, and it has good sound insulation, making it an ideal place for punishment activities.

"boom!"

Lucius took Chris into the storage room and slammed the door shut.

In the dim storage room, there was only a faint sunlight coming through the window.

Various sundries were piled in the corners, and the air was filled with the smell of dust and mold.

"Yeah, this is really a place suitable for doing bad things~"

Even though she was about to be investigated, Chris maintained a relaxed tone:

"So, how do you want to 'punish' me?"

Facing Chris's provocation, Lucius' eyes flashed with a dangerous light...

Soon after, Lucius's roar was heard from behind the closed door.

"This blow is for Plotina!"

"Ouch!"

In the following time, all kinds of strange and rhythmic sounds continued to be heard in the storage room, as if confirming the intensity of Lucius's punishment.

【mussel.】

[...You and Chris died together.]

[——Simulation ends.]

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

Opening his eyes again, Lucius returned to Plotina's room once again.

Nothing in the room had changed.

Plotina lay weakly on the bed, Cocceus and Octavia stood by her bed, and the maids were busy.

However, at this moment, everyone keenly noticed that Lucius seemed to have become a little different.

In addition to determination, there was more of a strong confidence in his eyes, as if he had already found a solution to the problem.

“Lucius?”

Plotina noticed his change, tilted her head slightly, and a look of confusion appeared on her face:

"what happened to you?"

"nothing."

Lucius gently held Plotina's hand, his eyes full of affection:

"I just suddenly had some ideas."

He leaned over and kissed Plotina on the forehead:

"Plotina, I will not allow you to leave me."

"I will definitely find a way to save you."

"So, could you please wait for me for a moment, please?"

"Ah."

Plotina smiled gently, her eyes full of trust in Lucius:

"I will wait for you. As long as I am still alive, I will not give up hope."

Seeing this scene, Cokeus and Octavia both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't understand what was happening, Lucius's change gave them hope.

Maybe there really is a way to save Plotina.

After a while, Plotina suddenly spoke softly:

"I'm a little tired and want to rest."

"Lucius, father, go and take care of your own business. Don't worry about me."

"Sister will accompany me."

After saying this, she gave Octavia a pleading look.

Octavia immediately understood what her sister meant, nodded gently, and stroked her forehead.

"Don't worry, I will take care of Plotina."

Lucius glanced at Plotina reluctantly, then stood up.

He walked over to Octavia, took her hand, and spoke seriously:

"Please, dear."

"Go, young lord. Plotina and I are waiting for your good news."

Octavia nodded slightly, a gentle curve at the corner of her lips.

Lucius then placed a gentle kiss on the lips of each of the two sisters as a farewell.

Plotina's kiss was very light and subtle, with a faint smell of herbs, which made people feel distressed.

Octavia's kiss was more passionate, and she even secretly stuck out her tongue to lick Lucius' lips.

Kokwus: ???

I @#￥%&......

After saying goodbye, Lucius and Cocceus left Plotina's chamber together.

Just as they were about to part ways, Lucius suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Kokuus was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly:

"Okay, let's go to my study."

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

"sit down."

After arriving in the study, Coccus gestured for Lucius to sit down across from him, his expression slightly tired.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lucius was silent for a moment, carefully considering his words, and then slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty, I would like to report an important discovery to you."

"about what?"

"About the Second Prince Tiberius."
