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

Such a high frequency naturally made it inevitable that she would meet Nora's grandfather, Chancellor Otto. That snobbish old man would greet the princess with a smile, but would turn a cold face when he saw Lucius.

It's just hugging your granddaughter. People say that a prime minister has a big heart. Why are you so narrow-minded?

Putting Plotina aside, Nora became more and more dependent on him. Not only did she change from a loyal Plotina supporter to a Lucius supporter, but her image also gradually began to overlap with the one in Lucius's real memory.

This is so cool, is this a realistic simulation? Like it~

...Do you still want to deceive yourself even today? Hakilu!

Although the memory only concerned Plotina and Nora, other places still seemed to be missing, but it was not a big deal.

It's impossible that besides being successful with Plotina and Nora, Lucius also hooked up with other people in his busy schedule?

Haha, how is that possible?

If Lucius really had this kind of multitasking ability, he would immediately kowtow to his six-year-old self and be considered a master in the field of time management.

After taking a look at the date, Lucius realized that today was a very special day -

It is the National Day of the Graria Empire, and the World Expo will also close today.

Lucius still remembered that he left Splanda and returned to the East with Lao Deng on the eighth day after National Day.

Since then, although I have come to Splendida several times every year, I have never stayed as long as this year.

The correspondence with Nora never stopped, and he spent most of his time in Splenda with her. Only Plotina became a complete stranger.

In other words, this system is not randomly skipping time, but deliberately selecting several important time nodes?

It looks like something big is coming.

Lucius raised his eyebrows, and the lazy look disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

——At this moment, the curtain gradually rises.

"Plotina, what's wrong with you? Why are you so sad?"

In the back garden of Nora's house, Lucius was frightened by the heavy expression on Plotina's face as soon as he came in. He thought that she had completed her transformation into a dark figure at some unknown time.

"I'm worried about my mother."

Plotina held her face in her hands, a look of unwavering worry between her brows:

"Mother has been in poor health for some time and looks quite haggard, but the doctors in the palace are helpless."

"I should have let Mother have a good rest, but today is National Day and the closing of the World Expo, so Mother has to attend various events with Father..."

"Oh, I'm really worried about her."

"So that's it."

Lucius nodded and sat down between Plotina and Nora.

"I hope Your Majesty can recover soon."

"Good morning, Brother Lucius."

Nora moved her chair closer to Lucius and considerately poured black tea into the empty cup in front of Lucius.

"I feel like the tea Nora pours herself tastes much sweeter than tea from other places~"

"There's an old saying in the Empire that goes 'You can tell a person's future at the age of three, and their character at the age of seven.' Although Nora isn't even seven yet, I can tell at a glance that she will definitely be a gentle, considerate, kind, and virtuous woman in the future."

"Very suitable for being a wife."

Lucius sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Stereotypes are hard to change. Even though he knows that this little girl may not be as honest as she looks, in Lucius' heart, she is still the soft and sweet girl.

"Axis of Spellcasting: World (Released)"

Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't used time stop just now.

No, what were you doing when time stopped?

Could it be possible that he only took nine seconds to give himself a fashionable hairstyle?

"Woo!"

The girl lowered her head, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears were suddenly stained with a thin layer of red.

It seemed that Lucius' words had a great impact on her.

"?"

"Don't tease Nora!"

When Plotina saw this scene, her cheeks immediately puffed up like a pufferfish:

"You're just a little brat, why do you have to act like an adult and point fingers at others?"

Isn't the tea Nora gives you made by the maid? What's the difference?

Why can't I taste the sweetness?

She just poured you a cup of tea and you said she was suitable to be your wife. If I, the princess, also poured you a cup, would you say the same?

Alas, Plotina, it’s hard to say whether you are standing up for your sisters or being jealous of them.

"Hmph, be lenient with someone who will be leaving in a few days, Plotina."

"From now on, even if you want to hear me pointing fingers at you, you may not be able to hear it."

Lucius smiled and revealed that he was about to leave Splenda.

"Leave!? Where are you going?"

Plotina and Nora both looked at him in surprise.

"Where else can I go?"

Lucius blinked. "Of course, we're going back to the East. My old man Deng is the guardian of the East. He can't stay in the Imperial Capital forever, right?"

"Then, then why don't you just let Grand Duke Glade go back on his own? You shouldn't leave."

Plotina looked anxious.

If Lucius left Splenda, Nora would be her only friend again.

It's not that Nora is bad, it's just...

"Hahaha, no way, Plotina, if I don't return to the East, will you support me?"

Lucius made a joke.

He is the heir to the Guardian of the East, and the heir must be brought up by his side.

Moreover, his extraordinary practice requires huge resources, and his identity as an abandoned person also needs to be hidden. The imperial capital is full of good and bad people, and it is far less reassuring than his own base in the East.

"No problem! I have fiefs in two provinces. I'll give you half. I can support you with no problem!"

Plotina answered without hesitation.

Although members of the royal family did not have fiefs, they still had fiefs, but Plotina's fief was slightly larger than that of her brothers and sisters.

Take the second prince Tiberius as an example. His fief was the province of Lot, located in the southern part of the crown territory and was considered a central province.

Plotina's fiefdom was the provinces of Burgogne and Valerianthe. One of these provinces was an important wine-producing region in the empire, and the other was the ancestral home of the Basileus family. This shows how much Emperor Cocceus doted on his youngest daughter.

"...Take care of yourself first, idiot."

Lucius was silent for a moment, and faced with the princess's temptation to be supported, he finally chose to refuse firmly.

"..."

Nora looked at Lucius, then at Plotina, lowered her head, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and said nothing.

"Good things are easy to end, but good meetings are hard to come by, my friends."

Lucius raised the bone china cup in his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these sad things anymore. Let's think about how to have fun at tonight's celebration."

National Day is the most lively festival of the year in the Empire of Graria. A series of carnival celebrations will be held from early morning, and in the evening there will be float parades, celebration markets and magic shows, turning Splenda into a city that never sleeps.

The royal family and nobles would also participate in the celebration. Compared with the solemnity and majesty during the day, their style of behavior at night was much more relaxed and casual, and children could play freely at this time.

"The celebration tonight?"

Plotina frowned and fell into thought.

The celebration activities in the imperial capital are basically the same old things. After watching the evening performance, you go to the market, then go with everyone to release river lanterns, and finally watch the magical fireworks prepared by the court wizards that can be set off all night long.

But since Lucius has expressed his expectations, Plotina will not let him down.

She patted her chest and said:

"Don't worry, just follow me when the time comes, I'll show you around!"

This is the confidence of the orthodox imperial capital's Celestial Dragons!

"I'm sorry to bother you three, but Master Lucius, Her Majesty the Queen wishes to see you."

As the three were talking, Mainna, the Knight of the Sun who was responsible for protecting Plotina's safety, suddenly came up.

"Mother wants to see Lucius? Why? Isn't this too sudden?"

"And isn't mother going to accompany father to an event today?"

Plotina's little face was full of confusion.

"I don't know either, Your Highness. I am only responsible for conveying His Majesty's orders."

Maenna replied with her head bowed.

"Okay, then I'll go with Lucius. Nora, let's go tonight..."

"My apologies, Princess. His Majesty has specifically instructed that only Master Lucius be seen alone. Please wait patiently here."

Just as Plotina was about to say goodbye to Nora, Mainna conveyed another meaningless order.

"?"

"No, why?"

Plotina could never have imagined that her mother would make such a decision.

"Hehe, I have a feeling that Her Majesty the Queen is going to give me a difficult task that only I can complete."

Lucius stood up calmly and straightened the wrinkles on his clothes.

"Yes, Master Lucius, His Majesty said that this matter will affect the life of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Mainna looks honest, but she always likes to make a big move when not expecting it.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone was instructing him from behind.

Lucius:? ? ?

What was going on? Could it be that the Queen had foreseen that Lu Ge would be in high demand, and decided to secure a spot for her daughter in advance?

You are so baby hot!

"One, a lifetime!?"

Plotina was stunned. Such ambiguous statements could easily lead people to think in a certain direction.

Could it be that......

"Woo!"

Plotina was too embarrassed to continue imagining, so she just threw herself into Nora's arms with a blushing face.

Nora rubbed her hands on her back and bit her lower lip gently.

......

Lucius rode in a carriage unimpeded to the Queen's palace. Led by the court attendants, he soon saw the sickly beauty leaning on the armrest of a chair.

Compared to before, Queen Helena was indeed much more haggard, her skin was dull and her soft hair had become a little dry.

But when she saw Lucius, her blue eyes sparkled brightly.

"Little Lucius, come and sit here with me."

She raised her hand to greet Lucius, and Lucius realized that a small chair had already been placed in front of her.
