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

What shocked Maria the most was the attitude of her father and mother.

Although Cokeus had a resentful look on his face, he just ate there gloomily and did not show any real anger.

Maria knew her father.

Kokuus's strength is more than seven times that of everyone present combined. If he feels unbearable, he will overturn the table himself.

But he didn't do that.

He just sat there, sulking like a neglected child.

My mother seemed to be enjoying herself so much that she was even chatting and laughing with everyone.

What's happening here?

Maria felt her brain was a little confused.

She suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip——

One is to come back and see my mother.

The second is to attend the private small "engagement party" tomorrow...

and many more!

Maria's pupils suddenly contracted.

Tomorrow is Plotina and Lucius's engagement party, and now, Sister Octavia and Lucius are also having a relationship that goes beyond the boundaries...

Shouldn't this complicated relationship that is difficult to sort out be resolved first?

As parents, shouldn't we first sort out this messy situation before considering engagement?

Or......

An absurd idea suddenly popped into Maria's mind.

Could it be that the father and mother planned to marry both daughters to Lucius at once?

How can this be?

Even in the aristocratic circle, this kind of thing is extremely rare, let alone a princess?

Haha, what on earth am I thinking about?

If her elder sister and younger sister both marry the same person, then doesn’t she seem a little out of place being stuck in the middle?

After playing a little joke on herself, Maria became more and more confused.

What happened in the two years since I left Splenda?

Is it that my hometown is changing too fast and I can’t keep up with the times?

......

Just as Maria was standing at the door and brainstorming intensely, everyone in the restaurant noticed her arrival.

"Maria!"

The first to react was Queen Helena.

A surprised smile appeared on Helena's face. She suddenly stood up from her seat and walked quickly towards Maria, opening her arms.

"My child, you are finally back. Mommy missed you so much..."

Seeing that the little girl who was only as tall as her waist has grown into an elegant and intellectual beauty, Helena was moved and the joy in her heart could not be described in words.

"Mother...I miss you too..."

Maria threw herself into her mother's warm embrace, her voice choked with sobs.

Feeling that familiar, reassuring atmosphere, all the confusion and bewilderment in my heart were thrown aside at this moment.

"Maria, welcome home!"

He was followed by Emperor Cocceus.

His originally resentful expression turned into ecstasy and excitement the moment he saw Maria.

He stood up excitedly, almost knocking over the table, and strode towards Maria.

Great!Great!

Finally a savior has arrived!

Kokwus was ecstatic in his heart.

Before Maria's arrival, Kokwus had been completely marginalized and became an outsider.

Helena has completely regarded Lucius as a substitute for her son. Octavia and Plotina are both deeply in love with him and regard him as everything in their lives.

As long as he expressed the slightest dissatisfaction with Lucius, or even said something harsh to him, he would be criticized by his wife and daughter.

Eh?

is that a lie?

Am I not the emperor?

Why do I suffer such injustice?

But things are different now.

Maria is back!

This second daughter, who had no connection with Lucius, must be on his side, right? After all, she didn't know Lucius, so there was no reason for her to favor that boy.

Maria and Lucius didn't have much interaction, so she shouldn't be fooled by that boy's charm.

With Maria's rational and wise character, she will definitely stand on her father's side!

Jiejiejie, the attack and defense are easy to change!

Compared to their parents' excitement, Octavia and Plotina had different reactions.

Octavia gracefully put down the cutlery in her hand and looked up at Maria at the door with curiosity and scrutiny in her eyes.

Octavia has a complicated attitude towards this sister she has never met.

On the one hand, blood ties made her have a natural liking for Maria.

On the other hand, as a mature woman, she is also secretly evaluating her sister's character, ability, and...

The impact she may have on the subsequent situation.

Plotina's performance is more interesting.

Her eyes flickered between Maria and Lucius, a glint of curiosity and amusement in them.

She wanted to know what made her mother so sure that Sister Maria would be with Lucius in the future?

Will Lucius take the initiative, or will there be some unexpected developments?

Oh, what's wrong with being a little bit excited?

Sister, when you have time, let’s fuck my husband together!

As for Lucius...

The way he looked at Maria was one of pure admiration.

No other distractions, no intentions.

If you have to find a distinct emotion in his eyes, it would probably be "accident".

——I didn’t expect that I would have such an unexpected encounter just by going out for a meal.

Yes, Lucius appeared in the palace not because he was invited, but because he shamelessly ran there on his own.

The story begins a few hours ago...

This afternoon, after he successfully kicked Glade Olden out of the house, he didn't feel proud for long because he himself was kicked out by Iveliya.

The reason given by Iveliya was that she was tired of "fighting fire with fire".

"Brother Lu! You should also follow your father to the imperial capital branch!"

Iveliya blushed, gasped, and spoke with difficulty:

"You...you should find someone else! Don't come back tonight!"

Afterwards, Lucius was kicked out of Clovis's residence by Iveliya.

On the contrary, it belongs to Tiangang.

Ivylia, you will regret this!

Although he was driven out, Lucius would never go to the branch of the imperial capital to reunite with Glade Olden and his son.

That's too embarrassing!

Who is Brother Lu?

Formerly the number one lover in Splenda, now the number two lover in Splenda!

If there is no place for you here, there will be other places for you!

I wish I had thousands of spacious houses to shelter all the Lu brothers in the East and make them happy!

Lucius immediately went to the Brunhilde house, intending to get close to his sweet and soft childhood sweetheart Nora.

Unfortunately, when Lucius arrived at Brunhilde's house, the butler told him that Prime Minister Otto had gone out with Nora and would not be back until very late.

In desperation, Lucius had to move again and go to the palace to look for Octavia and Plotina.

When he arrived at the palace, it was dinner time, so he was naturally invited to join the table.

He didn't want to be the focus and center of the table, but the development of some things did not depend on human will.

With his extreme personal charm, everyone's eyes naturally turned to him.

After hugging her parents one by one, Maria turned her attention to the other people present.

"Sister Octavia..."

She looked at Octavia somewhat nervously.

"Hello, Sister Maria."

Octavia smiled gently and said:

"I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

"Plotina, long time no see."

Maria looked at Plotina, her eyes full of tenderness and doting.

"Second sister!"

Plotina stood up and hugged Maria warmly:

"You are finally back. Did you bring me a gift?"

"You..."

Maria smiled and shook her head, her palm gently stroking Plotina's smooth hair:

"Of course I brought it. You, my sister, mother and father, and Lucius... everyone."

"I just don't know if you guys will like it. You know, I've always been a little picky about gifts..."

Finally, Maria's eyes fell on Lucius.

"Her Highness Maria."

Lucius stood up and bowed slightly, his manner elegant and calm.

"I haven't seen you for two years. You look even more radiant than ever before."

"Just call me sister like Plotina does."

Maria nodded slightly and smiled:

"We'll be a family soon anyway."

After a brief greeting, Kokuus pulled Maria to sit down.

"Come, come, Maria, my good daughter, sit here."
