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

"Good day, Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"

Lucius sat down on the chair and spoke curiously.

"About my daughter, Plotina."

Helena said softly, "There's something I have to tell you."

"Lucius, do you know that I divined Plotina's fate on the day she was born?"

"The divination results indicate that Plotina's fate will end when she is twenty years old—that is, she will not live past the age of twenty."

Lucius:? ? ?

Oh shit, explosion!

Plotina didn't live past twenty? Then who was that 26-year-old, beautiful, and silent queen I met?

"Uh, Your Majesty, could it be that the divination is wrong?"

Lucius ventured.

"will not."

Helena shook her head. "Plotina told you, Lucius, I am the greatest astrologer in the empire."

Lucius stole a glance at Helena's panel -

"[Astropath] Helena Gulveig Basilius Lv.114"

Well, you are a Saint, you have the final say.

"I saw my daughter disappear and my son die, and I tried to change it."

"But no matter what you do, the stars won't change, and your destiny will just keep rushing towards its predetermined destination."

"I thought the same fate befell Plotina until the day she met you."

Helena took the beads off her wrist, her voice filled with excitement.

"Fate has shifted."

"I have observed your destiny, but found nothing, because the star in the sky that belongs to you is an illusory 'false star'."

"Although everything seems to be in line with your destiny, it only serves to conceal your true nature and make you appear to be no different from an ordinary person."

"!"

Auntie, isn’t your divination skill a bit too outrageous?

Can you predict what color underwear I will wear today?

"Haha, don't worry Lucius, I only discovered this with the help of some special means."

"Except for me, no one in the whole of France can do it."

Helena handed the beads to Lucius and said with a smile:

"This is the Supreme Heavenly Artifact, 'Echo of Fate.' Through it, we can directly ask questions of the evil god 'Fate.' However, we may not receive an answer..."

"Take it and look at it."

Lucius took the beads, but unexpectedly, the beads activated automatically as soon as they landed in his hands.

The pink eyes opened, as if billions of galaxies were rushing in them, shining brightly.

At the same time, indescribable whispers rang in his ears.

"Sure enough."

Helena nodded with satisfaction, "Lucius, you are the key to saving Plotina."

"Destiny can be changed. This way, I can let go and do it."

No, what are you going to do?

You might as well make it clear!

Lucius panicked.

"Lucius, can you promise me something?"

Helena held Lucius's hand tightly, her eyes full of hope and pleading:

"Plotina likes you, but if one day, Plotina hurts you, please don't resent her."

"If you want to resent someone, resent me, the selfish mother who did whatever it took to keep her alive."

"..."

At this moment, Lucius seemed to have realized the Queen's plan.

The moment he got the Fateful Echo in his hand, he knew that this was an artifact that required his life. The greater the price he paid, the clearer the answer he would get, but he still had to choose the correct one from the three answers himself.

"Your Majesty, there must be other ways..."

"It's too late Lucius."

Helena interrupted him, "I have made a deal with the evil god."

"So, please promise me, Lucius."

"Well, sire, I promise you, I will not resent Plotina, nor you."

Lucius sighed and took on the responsibility.

He returned the Fateful Echo to Helena, and the artifact once again burst out with astonishing light, and the power of chaos also surged.

Helena didn't know what information she got from it, but a hint of surprise appeared between her brows, and her body began to tremble with excitement:

"Then I'll leave my daughter to you, my lovely little Supreme~"

50-Lucius, Forget Me (Two in One, Please Order First)

The story of Splenda entrusting his son to the care of others was being performed in the palace, but the girls in the garden still knew nothing about it.

"Nora, what do you think Mother would talk to Lucius about?"

Plotina pretended to be calm as she took a bite of the egg tart, but the falling pastry and the slightly trembling arms had already revealed her current state of mind.

What a fool my mother is! It would be fine if she didn't explain things clearly, but why did she leave her alone?

For such an important matter, it would be appropriate for her to be present in person, right?

"I, I can't guess either."

Nora shook her head and whispered:

"But since it concerns Sister Plotina's life, it must be a very important matter, right?"

This person is also a master at pretending to be confused.

Nora's hands were tightly clutching the cufflinks on her sleeves. The green gems on them, which originally symbolized tranquility and peace, had been completely dyed red, representing rage.

This is an interesting supernatural item that allows the holder to remain calm at all times and temporarily store any negative emotions they have in the gem.

Chancellor Otto always had to bring it with him whenever he debated with the cabinet, but now Nora asked for it.

Nora is a very smart child. She knows Plotina's gift ability, so she pays attention to her emotions at all times.

But starting from that day three months ago, she had been inadvertently experiencing negative emotions more and more frequently, and now it had become so serious that she had to use extraordinary items to avoid being noticed by Plotina.

It hurt to be wary of her friend's behavior, but she had to do it because Plotina had always been a possessive girl.

It would be fine if it were just like this now, following Sister Plotina. She would have small cakes to eat, and I could also get some of the fruits that were decorated on the cakes. It had always been like this.

"Silly Nora, when it comes to the most important things in life, it should only be that, that, right?"

Plotina finished the whole tart and sucked her fingers, her voice sounding a little stuttered.

"Which one?"

Nora tilted her head, looking confused.

She turned a blind eye to the performance that she should have cooperated with Plotina.

"That's it! That one!"

A blush appeared on Plotina's face, and she didn't dare to look Nora in the eye.

"What exactly is it? Sister Plotina, please explain it clearly."

Nora still looked confused.

"Oh! Nora, I think you are just playing dumb and deliberately making fun of me, right?"

Plotina slammed her hands on the table in embarrassment, shaking all the objects on the table, and the porcelain plates and cups collided with each other, making crisp clinking sounds.

"Eh! How could that be?"

Nora shook her head repeatedly, “Sister Plotina, you know me, I would never do such a bad thing.”

"Hmm... well, it seems you really don't know."

Plotina muttered, looking at Nora who knew nothing, a strange sense of superiority suddenly burst out from the bottom of her heart:

"Hehe, it's okay if you don't know. My dear Nora, just stay naive. This is a topic for adults!"

Nora: ???

What's with your condescending attitude?!

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

Plotina and Nora did not see Lucius again until the evening banquet at the palace.

At this time, Lucius was following Queen Helena obediently. As for his father, Grand Duke Glade?

He had already gone to look for his old lovers to rekindle their old love.

"Diamond, come here quickly~"

The queen waved to Plotina, and Nora was also called over by Prime Minister Otto.

"Mother!"

Plotina came before the Queen and looked back and forth between her and Lucius with curiosity:

"Mother, what did you and Lucius talk about today? Why are you so secretive and don't want to let me know?"

"Hmm, it's a very important matter."

Helena smiled gently and placed her hands on Plotina's shoulders:

"I have talked a lot with Lucius. Although he is still young, I am convinced of one thing—"

"When your father and I grow old, he will be the man you can rely on."

“He’s still young, but he’s growing day by day.”

"!"

Although she had guessed it before, Plotina was still surprised to receive the Queen's personal confirmation.

She looked towards Lucius and met his gaze.

The eye contact lasted only a few seconds before Plotina looked away out of shyness.

"Ah."

Lucius smiled smugly at this, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

Hehehe, the soft and sticky Xiaopu is really delicious!
