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

Likewise, the Iveliya people are a bit numb.

She originally thought that being targeted by the noble girls as an imaginary enemy would only happen at banquets. It was a bit of torture, but it would pass if she endured it.

But no one expected that this matter would have a follow-up. As soon as Grand Duke Glade announced his decision, Iveliya immediately felt several gazes cast towards her and Lucius.

The fire of desire that had dimmed in the eyes of the little girls suddenly ignited again as if it had been sprinkled with accelerant, and the surging fighting spirit made Iveliya shudder.

There were lions in their eyes, and they wanted to tear the troublesome Iveliya into pieces, and then enjoy Lucius as a spoil of war.

Is this right?

Shouldn't the normal situation be Girls Help Girls?

Why should girls make things difficult for other girls?

It takes a full seven days to reach Splanda from Vis. When I think about having to go through seven days of a difficult life full of intrigues and conspiracy, Iveliya is about to put on the mask of pain.

As I said, if Ivilia really ate it, she wouldn't mind being targeted, because that's the price of being a king.

But the problem is, Aijie herself and Lucius are still at the stage of good friends, so why should she endure this pain?

"Ahem, don't be so excited. Put down the crystal and talk it over."

"You're going to take a Sanita anyway, so what's the harm in taking a few more?"

When Grand Duke Glade saw the crystal, his kidneys began to ache slightly, which was a side effect of being stepped on from behind.

"I can still tell whether it's 'several' or 'a group'."

Lucius complained, "It's already troublesome enough to deal with a possible attack from the Chaos Cult on the way. If you throw so many people at me, how am I supposed to take care of them?"

"I didn't intend for you to take care of them in the first place. Isn't it enough to just show some attitude?"

Grand Duke Glade's smile looked mean:

"I let them take the ride just to drag down the families behind them."

"Your experiences over the past period have made me realize that the corrupted in the Eastern Territory have indeed reached a point where they must be eradicated."

"But you also know how difficult it is to search for cultists. Even if I give the order, the lords may not try their best to carry it out."

"What if the Chaos Cult also targets their children?"

This is what Grand Duke Glade planned, to bring in the nephews and nieces of each family to serve as shields for Lucius.

Don’t you, the Chaos Cult, like to stir up trouble? Then why not provoke all the nobles in the entire East Territory and see if you can withstand the retaliation that follows.

"After departure, you only need to take care of your own people. If anything happens to the passengers, the Chaos Cult will naturally take the blame."

By then, the Grand Guild of Glade will deploy most of its security forces near Lucius. As for the others, he may even deliberately leave some loopholes to facilitate the actions of the Chaos Cult.

Only in this way can the lords, big and small, realize the seriousness of the problem and work hard.

"What if there are bad people among the crowd?"

"Rather than a violent attack, I think the Chaos Cult would prefer to use methods that disintegrate the enemy from within?"

Lucius's expression improved a little, but he still felt uneasy.

"Wouldn't it be better if there were bad guys?"

Grand Duke Glade came up to Lucius, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly:

“A leader can tolerate the greed and petty thoughts of his subordinates, but he must never tolerate betrayal.”

"It's better to eliminate the risk as soon as possible than to have it cause you a big disaster later."

"Whether the threat comes from outside or inside, after this turmoil, the younger generation will unite more closely around you."

"How about it, do you understand my good intentions?"

"That's a good plan, but I'd like to make some minor changes."

Lucius stroked his chin, his eyes flickering:

"It's all very well to use them as shields, but if I truly care about each and every one of them and bring them safely to the Imperial Capital, wouldn't they respect and love me even more?"

"Hahaha, it seems you are already a man who can stand on your own. Then do as you think."

Grand Duke Glade laughed and collapsed back onto the sofa.

"Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to rest."

Lucius got up and went back to his room. He had no plans to conduct the simulation today.

Save the number of charges and use them together when the time comes to see if you can trigger some special effects.

Lucius was about to leave, and his little follower, Iveliya, naturally followed closely in his footsteps. After saying good night to Grand Duke Glade and Leila, she left with Lucius.

After watching Lucius disappear at the end of the corridor, Grand Duke Glade smiled and spoke to Leila beside him:

"He's becoming more and more like me, isn't he?"

"Don't flatter yourself. When you were sixteen, you were probably still enjoying yourself in the nightclubs of Splenda."

Leila rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then asked worriedly:

"Are you really only arranging two guards to accompany him? After the special train departs, Lucius will only have one shadow guard who can fight on the battlefield."

"enough."

Grand Duke Glade nodded slightly, "Boys have to go through hardships to grow up."

"When he gets through the storm, he'll be a real man."

44-Aviliya: I just smell it, I don’t have any other thoughts

Early that morning, Lucius, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly noticed a rustling noise in his room.

He opened his eyes alertly and looked around, but didn't see anyone in the room.

Lucius did not need a morning wake-up call, and on weekdays the maid would only enter the room to start cleaning after getting his permission.

Lucius got out of bed quietly without making any noise and without even having time to put on his clothes, and followed the noise to the door of the cloakroom - this was the source of the sound.

Lucius peeked in quietly and saw a little gray-haired girl squatting on the ground meticulously folding and arranging her clothes. There were several large suitcases beside her.

This trip to Splendida is not a simple journey, but we will stay there for a long time, so we need to make a lot of preparations in advance.

But it seems that Iveliya doesn't need to do the simple task of packing clothes.

However, Iveliya's defenseless look had already aroused Lucius's desire to bully her, so he continued to sneak in and came behind her without Xiao Ai noticing.

"Private Ai!"

"What is your only purpose in being my personal maid?"

Lucius shouted.

Iveliya: ???

The sound was really effective. Ivilia was so scared that she fell forward and buried her face in Lucius's shirt that had just been folded.

But she adjusted her mindset quickly, immediately getting up from the ground and standing straight facing Lucius. She also raised her right hand in a standard military salute.

"Reporting to Brother Lu, my only purpose is to obey your orders!"

"Damn it! Ai! You're a fucking genius!"

Lucius was stunned. "I've never heard such a satisfying answer. Your IQ must be over 160!"

"Report to Brother Lu, what is IQ?"

Iveliya tilted her head, confused by the word Lucius said.

Lucius: ...

Yes, it seems that the concept of "IQ" has not yet appeared in this world.

"It just means you're very smart. Don't worry about the details, Private Ai."

"Private Ai, tell me, why are you in my cloakroom?"

"Because every piece of clothing you wear, Brother Lu, must be checked by me personally to ensure safety. This is my job!"

Wrong, in fact, Iveliya was instigated by Leila.

She was strolling in the courtyard at the time and met Leila by chance. The other party happened to ask about her and Lucius going out in the middle of the night. Iveliya told Leila about Lucius sneaking into her room in the middle of the night.

After hearing this, Leila immediately showed an amused expression and said to Iveliya that Lucius did such a wicked thing, and of course she, Iveliya, also did it, so she might as well take this opportunity to retaliate.

Packing up clothes was simply a reasonable excuse after the action was exposed.

I have to state in advance that Ivilia was not curious about Lucius's room at all. She just listened to Leila's instigation and wanted to take revenge.

After entering the room, she definitely did not take the opportunity to look around or secretly observe Lucius sleeping, absolutely not!

"Oh my! I didn't expect you to be so loyal to your duty, Private Ai. I've decided to reward you!"

"Tell me what you want? Do you want a kiss from Lu Ge?"

Lucius was the type who had forgotten the pain after the wound had healed and started playing with abstraction again.

He felt a little regretful as soon as he said it, fearing that Ivilia would choose to accept it like last time.

Alas, the trouble of being too charming.

Brother Lu is just a young boy who has never been in a relationship. He can talk big, but as soon as the opponent hits him directly, he will not be able to cope and will lose his composure.

"Get out of here!"

Fortunately, this time Ivylia didn't indulge him and just kicked him lightly:

"Brother Lu, can you please stop hanging around here naked? That's perverted."

"Oh? Instead of blushing with embarrassment like before, you can calmly say I'm a pervert? You've really grown up, Xiao Ai."

Lucius' eyes were full of relief. It would have been better if he wasn't wearing only a pair of underwear.

Iveliya: ...

Actually, I don’t think this kind of growth is a good thing.

Of all the people I lost, the one I miss most is myself.

"Since you dislike me so much, I won't disturb you from working hard."

"Oh yeah, since you love your work so much, why don't you help Brother Lu take the clothes he took off in the corner to be washed? Don't use them secretly to do anything weird~"

Lucius picked up a set of clothes from the closet, winked at Ivilia, and then swaggered out of the cloakroom.

Soon after that, there was the sound of a door opening and closing. It seemed that Lucius, dressed neatly, had gone out.

"Do you think everyone is a pervert like you?"

Iveliya complained softly, squatted down again and started to tidy up her clothes.

Although it is an excuse, since I have started something, I have to complete it seriously. This is my sister's creed.

After Ivilia finally packed the clothes suitable for various occasions into the suitcase, she stopped in front of the dirty clothes basket in the corner.

"Ah, I'm being treated like a maid~"

As Ivilia picked up one of the shirts, the clear cedar scent like a cold spring hit her face, followed by a light base note of white musk, as if tearing a crack with sunlight in the cool base tone, achieving a dangerous balance between cold and desire.

For some reason, just the smell made Iveliya think of the strong and powerful body of Lucius whom she had just seen.

I was too nervous to feel it then, but I do now.

A beautiful boy like Lu Ge has a charm that is really not comparable to that of ordinary boys. He carries potential danger and stirs up the hidden fire in his heart.

So the question is, will the sweat of a handsome boy like Lu Ge also smell bad?

Iveliya, a scientist who is good at thinking, now has a new topic.

Ai Jie has always had a great practical spirit. To verify this guess, her eyes shifted to the shirt in her hand.

If I just smell it, it shouldn't be a strange thing, right?

It's just to verify the guess, there is no other intention at all.

Iveliya looked behind her with a guilty conscience, then ran out of the cloakroom and looked around. After confirming that no one was in the room, she slowly brought the shirt close to her nose...

"By the way, Xiao Ai, shall we go out for lunch...?"

As luck would have it, Lucius pushed the door open and walked in at this moment, and then he saw a scene that made his pupils tremble.
