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

Of course she has her own little thoughts.

Lucius bore a striking resemblance in some traits to her eldest son, Caligula, who died young.

Equally brilliant, equally handsome, and equally attentive to those around him.

Although he knew in his heart that Lucius was not Caligula after all, who said that a son-in-law could not be used as a meal substitute for his son?

I eat eat eat!

Now that you have lost Caligula, you should love Lucius as another son!

"As for Kokwus..."

Helena glanced at the emperor next to her, who had a complicated expression on his face, and waved her hand casually:

"You can call me whatever you want. It doesn't matter if I just call you Lao Deng."

Kokwus: ???

This is different from what we agreed upon at the beginning!

He was also looking forward to his good brother's son calling him dad!

"All right, little Lucius."

Helena clapped her hands and returned to the topic:

"I called you here today mainly to discuss some important matters with you."

"Now that everything is settled, Plotina's future is also secured."

"Well, it's time to discuss your...engagement date with my daughter."

This news came as a surprise to both Lucius and Ivilia.

Especially for Iveliya, this news was like a basin of cold water, which chilled her to the core.

Although Plotina had expressed her willingness to share before, Iveliya would still feel somewhat uncomfortable if she really took the initiative and confirmed her relationship with Lucius first.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Plotina keenly noticed Iveliya's mood changes.

Although she also wanted to be the first to establish a real relationship with Lucius, doing so would undoubtedly hurt other girls who loved Lucius.

This would only make Lucius feel distressed.

She didn't want to be the one to trouble Lucius.

"Mother......"

Plotina was about to speak, hoping to persuade her mother to postpone the matter for the time being.

However, Queen Helena seemed to have anticipated this situation.

Before Plotina could speak, she gave her a sly smile.

"In fact, Kokuus's original plan was to settle this matter as soon as possible."

She looked at her husband, and upon hearing this, Kokwus coughed twice to indicate his agreement.

Then, she looked at Lucius and Iveliya:

"But in my opinion, given your current situation, you shouldn't make a hasty decision."

"After all, based on my understanding of Lucius..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lucius meaningfully, her eyes full of mockery towards this little lover:

"He must be planning to take on the lives of all the girls around him, right?"

Lucius: ...

I was sweating profusely.

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became subtle.

Ivellia, Plotina, and Octavia's eyes were all fixed on Lucius for a moment.

"Corcus and I can indeed declare that young Lucius is allowed to marry more..."

Helena changed the subject, her tone full of careful consideration:

"But for Lucius right now, this is undoubtedly putting him on the fire."

"It will only bring unnecessary pressure to him and the girls around him."

She sighed softly:

"So, let's wait until little Lucius has calmed down for a while before considering this matter."

After hearing what Queen Helena said, Ivellia and Plotina both breathed a sigh of relief, while Octavia had a playful look in her eyes.

Iveliya's tense body relaxed instantly, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes.

Plotina also secretly cast an approving glance towards Helena. Her mother really understood her best.

"but!"

Queen Helena changed the subject, and a bright smile appeared on her face again:

"Although we can't get engaged for the time being, holding a small family dinner so that family members can communicate with each other and have a better understanding of the situation is no problem!"

She thought about it, then set a date:

"As for the time, let's set it for five days later."

"Coqueus, send someone to tell Glade to come to Splenda later."

Kokuus had completely given up struggling at this point. He could only nod numbly.

"Yes, Helena!"

"Also, little Lucius."

Queen Helena looked at Lucius again, her eyes full of admiration and affirmation:

"As the person who contributed most to resolving this crisis, you saved countless people and even my daughters."

"Think carefully about what reward you want."

"Your reward will definitely not be less!"

Lucius' heart moved, but he did not make a request immediately. Instead, he smiled and nodded.

Not long after, Lucius took Iveliya and said goodbye to the royal family.

When Plotina heard that Lucius was leaving, her face suddenly showed deep surprise and reluctance.

She walked quickly forward, grabbed Lucius' sleeve, her eyes full of grievance.

"Lucius...didn't we agree not to go back tonight?"

She asked in a low voice, with deep resentment in her tone:

"You really made me happy for nothing!"

She had even figured out how to decorate her bedroom tonight.

Alas, I worked so hard to prepare, but I didn’t expect the result to be like this.

Lucius looked at her resentful look, chuckled, and reached out to gently scratch her pretty little nose.

"Little fool."

He smiled and shook his head, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes:

"That depends on the time and place."

He looked at Plotina and his tone became serious:

"Today, you and your sister should go and spend some time with mother."

"You haven't seen each other for so many years, you must have a lot to talk about."

Upon hearing this, although Plotina was still reluctant, she knew that what Lucius said made sense, so she could only nod obediently.

"Then...then I'll come see you tomorrow!"

It was delayed, but only by one day.

She can't wait another day!

Ivilia is banned and Nora is already a nobody. If she doesn’t charge now, when will she charge?

Plotina reluctantly let go of her hand and watched Lucius and Iveliya leave.

After Lucius arranged all the follow-up matters and said goodbye to everyone in the palace, he did not return to Clovis's residence.

He pulled Ivilia, who still had a sad face, and walked straight towards the Brunhill family without any hesitation.

Lucius: Living in the city of Ves, I am the greatest king in the East; wandering on the streets of Splenda, I am the most beautiful lover in the world!

As the empire's lover, he now has to take care of his childhood sweetheart.

PS: Oh, being stuck is such a painful thing, especially the part of wrapping dumplings with the curled tail.

I sat in front of the computer in a daze from three in the afternoon to eight in the evening.

It's the end of the month, let's do some sleight of hand.

In this irresponsible book recommendation section, are there any brothers who have read this book, please tell me whether it is good or not? You know, I just love to read some wooden cabinet fan fiction.

This time, Takeshi Shinohara becomes the childhood sweetheart of Shoko Toyokawa.

Helped Xiangzi's father avoid the fate of being kicked out of the house.

Xiangzi is also a lady from a prominent family.

Hanegaoka Girls' College is a coeducational school.

The saying "suffering comes and suffering" does not hold true either.

"Everything is getting better now. We will definitely have a happy ending next!"

That's what Takeshi Shinohara thought until he woke up and found himself locked in the basement by Shoko Toyokawa.

"Why?! I'm enough! Why are you looking for someone else?"

Xiangzi, are you awake?

They and I are just friends!

Chapter 137:132-Nora: The Song of Vanilla Lucius (7K5)

Splenda, the streets after the chaos has settled.

The afterglow of the setting sun once again favors this ancient city, spreading its golden-red light on every inch of land baptized by chaos.

Even though they had just experienced a turmoil and panic that was enough to overthrow the empire, the people's morale seemed unusually high.

Although their faces still showed the fatigue from the disaster, their eyes were filled with joy of surviving the disaster and hope for the future.

Under the organization of the Guards and the Sheriff, the people have begun to rebuild their homes enthusiastically.

The ruins were quickly cleared, new wood and stones were delivered, the scattered goods were carefully packed up, and the damaged signs were restored to their original appearance by the skillful hands of the craftsmen.

“It’s incredible…”

Iveliya sighed softly, her eyes sweeping over the busy people:

"Even though they had just gone through something so horrible, everyone recovered much faster than I thought."

Just looking at this scene, who could have imagined that just a few hours ago, the entire city was still under the threat of the arrival of the Most High?

"This is the empire's most precious treasure."

Lucius smiled and nodded:

"The people of the Empire will not be bound by fear. They are all absolutely sure that the sun will rise as usual tomorrow."

The reason why Graria has been able to stand for two thousand years is not only because of its strong military force, but also because of its indomitable spirit in the face of difficulties.

At this moment, a middle-aged vendor who was repairing the wall looked up and saw Lucius.
