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

However, after hearing this, Iveliya was not discouraged at all.

She chewed the cake, waved her fists, and her eyes burned with unyielding fighting spirit:

"It doesn't matter!"

"Anyway, I will never admit defeat to that guy [Fate]!"

"Even if the pain is ten times greater, I will get through it!"

"Let her see how strong Sister Ai's willpower is!"

Lucius: ...

You better really make it through this.

If the pain becomes ten times greater, don't surrender crying.

After eating the cake, Iveliya patted her slightly bulging belly like a seal, with a happy expression on her face:

“The cakes made by Brother Lu are so delicious!”

"I want it next time~"

The sweet taste soaked her taste buds, soothed her hungry stomach, and temporarily dispelled the torment in her heart.

Lucius was silently calculating the time it would take for the potion to take effect.

One second... two seconds... three seconds...

When the time came, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in his heart:

"Yes! Yes!"

Iveliya, who was contentedly touching her belly in the previous second, tilted her head and fell into a peaceful sleep like a baby in the next second.

Even the red cloth strip with the word "戒" written on his forehead slipped to the side.

Her breathing became even and deep, and she relaxed completely, like a tired kitten.

"Sleep so soundly..."

Looking at Ivilia's defenseless sleeping face, Lucius chuckled and then carefully picked her up.

He carried Iveliya back to the room and gently placed her on the bed.

Then, Lucius took a deep breath and began to help Iveliya solve her problems...

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

At the same time, thousands of miles away from Splanda, in the center of the East, Weiss.

In Clovis Manor, Lord Glade sat in his study, holding a letter that had just been delivered.

The royal official who delivered the letter had left just a few minutes ago.

In the letter, his good brother Coccus extended a sincere invitation to him, hoping that he could go to Splenda to attend a writing family gathering, which could be read as an engagement party.

Kokwus also said that there will be a special surprise at that time...

Haha, old man, you are really good at keeping people in suspense.

Grand Duke Glade placed the invitation on the table, his eyes sparkling with a captivating light.

He gently stroked his chin, his thoughts drifting back to the earth-shaking changes that had recently taken place in the imperial capital.

Tiberius' betrayal, Chaos' invasion, and...Lucius's turning of the tide.

As the true owner of "Raven", Grand Duke Glade naturally knew about Lucius's various plans.

Ever since Lucius left Weiss, information about him has been transmitted back home non-stop.

"This kid, after arriving in Splenda, is like a fish in the ocean."

"Could it be that I've been keeping too strict an eye on him?"

Grand Duke Glade stroked his chin and began to have some doubts about the way he was trained.

Although he said this, his face was filled with pride that was hard to conceal.

Everything Lucius did, whether in terms of wisdom or strength, was far beyond the reach of a young man of his age.

He is genuinely proud of his son's achievements.

Then, Glade turned his head and looked to his left.

There, Leila was sitting on the sofa not far away, sipping black tea elegantly.

Her eyes were soft and calm, as if everything was within her sight.

"Look, dear."

Grand Duke Glade waved his hand, and the letter floated in front of Leila:

"It's an invitation from Kirkwulf. There's a family gathering in four days."

"Do you want to come along?"

Leila took the invitation, her fingers gently stroking the gilded emblem, a faint smile appearing on her face:

"Time flies! Lucius has reached this age now..."

However, in response to Glade's question, she thought for a moment and then shook her head in rejection:

"Forget it, Glade."

"If I go, then the other six sisters will probably have to go with me."

She paused, her voice teasing:

"They're all the child's stepmothers, so we can't favor one over the other, right?"

Glade: ...

There is one thing to say, indeed.

Then, Leila sighed again and said helplessly:

"Right now, the sisters all have their own important matters to attend to, and some may not be able to arrive in time."

"Even if we can make it, with so many people there, it will scare the girl."

A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Grand Duke Glade with a clear hint of ridicule in her tone:

"Lucius is a good boy, not as fickle and promiscuous as you."

Grand Duke Glade's face suddenly turned red and he touched his nose awkwardly.

Good boy?

I don’t think so, right?

As the saying goes, the disciple surpasses the master. I think that brat will definitely be no less capable than me in the future.

Putting aside one-night stands and short-term contracts, I only have eight at most.

Where is that kid?

Humph! You brat!

"in addition......"

Leila's expression suddenly became serious:

"Glade, shouldn't you ask that person for his opinion?"

"After all, this is her son's most important event. As a mother, she should be present, right?"

Upon hearing Leila's suggestion, Grand Duke Glade's expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.

Grand Duke Glade felt a little guilty.

What Leila didn't know was that he and his good brother Coccus had just had a brief discussion and had arranged the marriage between Lucius and Plotina.

He never told his wife about this.

This question is... quite tricky.

That woman is not as gentle and easy-going as Leila.

She is strong and overbearing, with a hot temper. If they knew that she had arranged her son's marriage on her own initiative, the consequences would be serious.

Thinking of his pelvic injury which had just healed less than half a year ago, Grand Duke Glade shuddered involuntarily.

But now that things have come to this, escape is not an option.

"My dear, you are right."

Grand Duke Glade took a deep breath and revealed a resolute look:

"I'll go ask her what she thinks."

Not long after, Grand Duke Glade came alone to the secret room deep in the underground wine cellar of the manor.

On the wall of the secret room, there is a relief of a fierce and ferocious dragon head totem.

This is the regular channel through which Grand Duke Glade communicates with his wife, a higher true god.

Glade took off the ruby ​​ring on his ring finger and placed it into the dragon head's mouth.

Soon, runes lit up, and the entire secret room was illuminated by light.

Soon, a majestic and powerful female voice sounded in Grand Duke Glade's ears:

"Glade, why did you contact me suddenly? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Or......"

"Did you miss me?"

"It seems that after training, your recovery speed has greatly improved~"

There was a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Cough cough!"

Grand Duke Glade cleared his throat and spoke cautiously:

"Mira, I want to talk to you about Lucius..."

"Treasure?"

The playfulness in his voice instantly disappeared, replaced by seriousness and nervousness:

"What happened to Tubao? Did something happen?"

"No, no, no, quite the opposite."

Grand Duke Glade quickly explained:

"Lucius is very good. He just resolved a crisis that could threaten the entire empire."

"Now, Cokeus has invited us to a party in Splenda, where we can also meet Lucius's fiancé..."

The further he spoke, the softer Grand Duke Glade's voice became, and beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

"Marriage partner?"

Mira's voice was filled with surprise:

"What engagement?"

"When did Tubao get engaged?"

"Is such that......"

Grand Duke Glade, feeling guilty, recounted the entire incident, including Corceus's proposal, Plotina's identity, and his own considerations at the time...

"you mean......"

After listening, Mira's voice became dangerous:

"You arranged a marriage for Tubao without asking for my opinion?"

"I......"

Just as Glade was about to speak, invisible divine power instantly filled the entire secret room.
