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

"Understood. I'll go inform them right away."

Reinhardt nodded, then stood up and left. Only Lucius, Iveliya and Sanita were left in the carriage.

"Brother Lu, will there be any problems?"

Iveliya frowned slightly. "If someone from the Chaos Cult has already sneaked onto the train, this kind of social setting is exactly where they're most likely to act."

"That's right."

Lucius adjusted his collar and looked at Ivilia:

"So then I'll have to rely on you, little Ai'ai, to be able to see everything clearly~"

"No problem! Leave it to me, Brother Lu!"

56-You blue eyes, stay away from Brother Lu! (4K5)

Meanwhile, in another carriage of the Orient Express, a secret meeting was taking place where anyone could find it.

This is Victoria Gordon's exclusive box. Several aristocratic girls gathered here. The scenery outside the window passed by quickly, but their attention was obviously not on the beautiful scenery.

"Tell me, what are your plans for the evening?"

The girl sitting in the main seat had long, light golden curly hair that reached down to her waist, and her eyes were as charming as amber.

Victoria Gordon, the girl who won the reputation of "Golden Butterfly" for her vitality, enthusiasm and generosity, frowned slightly at this moment and tapped the coffee table lightly with the folding fan inlaid with precious gems in her palm.

The three people sitting across from her were all daughters of prestigious families in the East. If they had anything in common, it was that they were all members of the Illuminati, a secret society in Elu.

"Wow, this time I specially prepared a big treasure."

Rosalin, with short red curly hair, smiled mysteriously and took out a small bottle from her mini handbag. The bottle was filled with lavender liquid, which glowed hazily under the sunlight.

"This is a special perfume I asked our family pharmacist to mix. I call it 'Dew of the Heart.'"

Her bony fingers gently stroked the bottle, her tone filled with undisguised pride:

"It can temporarily affect a person's mood, making them more impulsive and more likely to speak their mind. I plan to 'accidentally' knock it over when I get close to the young lord tonight."

"Sarah, what about you?"

Rosaline turned to look at the girl with dark green hair beside her and said teasingly:

"Are you faking a fall again? You've tried this tactic fifteen times, and every time the young master just politely helped you up and offered a few formulaic words of comfort."

"Oh yes, it's different now. After he's done comforting her, his attention will immediately turn back to the secretary."

"Huh, I get angry when I talk about that guy."

Sarah snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly:

"It's fine for Miss Sanita, but since the young lord has promised to give her asylum, it's only natural that he would give her more respect."

"But what about that Iveliya? A girl who appeared out of nowhere, not only was she appointed as a secretary, but she can also follow the young lord like a shadow. It's really enviable."

"My target tonight is Iveliya. I want to have a one-on-one real woman battle with her!"

After saying that, Sarah straightened her plump chest.

She didn't understand how a girl with no status and no reputation could win Lucius's favor.

Or is it that Lucius just likes this?

That's bad.

"..."

Victoria sighed silently after listening to this, then looked at the last blonde girl who hadn't spoken yet:

"Sophie, what are your plans?"

"Haha, I do have a plan, but I haven't started implementing it yet."

Sophie smiled triumphantly. "I plan to wait until the party is at its peak, then have my maid 'accidentally' touch the light switch. Then I can take advantage of this opportunity..."

"Idiot! You're crazy!"

Before Sophie could finish her plan, she was interrupted by Victoria's shout.

Victoria was extremely troubled by these three stupid teammates. She frowned and spoke slowly:

"I knew you three would be tempted to create an 'accident' at the banquet, so I called you here."

"Let me be frank. No one is allowed to cause any trouble tonight."

Her voice was not loud, but it carried an authority that could not be ignored.

"No, Victoria, what's wrong with your brain? Normally you're the one who loves to cause accidents."

The little sisters all looked at Victoria in disbelief.

strangeness!

Quack! The person before me couldn't possibly be Victoria. It had to be the corrupted Chaos Cultist. She had possessed Victoria!

"You are the ones with the problem in your heads."

"It was in Weiss on a normal day, during peacetime. How could the situation be the same as it is now?"

Victoria spoke unhappily, her slender fingers gently adjusting the hem of her skirt:

"Lucius has clearly informed us that this journey may face the threat of the Chaos Cult. How do you think he would view you for creating chaos at this moment?"

"..."

The traffic light trio fell silent. They were not fools. They were just showing off too much before and were controlled by the happy beans.

Now that they were awakened by Victoria's words, and thinking about the possible consequences, the three of them couldn't help but shudder.

I don't want Lucius to mentally sentence me to death or anything like that!

However, it would be kind of cool if Lucius looked at me like I was trash...

"Oh my, Victoria, you are truly the mother of the three of us! If you hadn't reminded us, we would have made a big mistake."

"Victoria, we love your teeth!"

"Please guide us, Victoria!"

Victoria: ???

Are these three crazy? They are no longer human.

After all, she is her own sister. No matter how helpless she feels, Victoria can only speak up and give her some advice.

"First, we should prove ourselves to be reliable companions, not burdens that need to be taken care of."

"The real way to attract Lucius's attention is to show wisdom and courage that matches him, not these little tricks."

"Secondly, regarding that secretary..."

She paused, then gently opened her folding fan to cover half of her face, her eyes full of meaning:

"Rather than rejecting her, we should make friends with her. Perhaps we can learn the secret to gaining Lucius's favor from her?"

The three girls looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Victoria. Don't worry, the sisters will listen to you tonight and will definitely not cause any trouble."

"that would be great."

Victoria nodded, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

At this moment, none of the four girls noticed that a figure quietly left outside the door of the box.

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

As night fell, the banquet was held as scheduled, and the dining car of the Orient Express was brightly lit.

Due to limited conditions, there were no accompanying musicians. The string music floating in the carriage was coming from the gramophone in the corner.

The champagne glasses on the tray reflected an alluring golden glow under the light. Passengers in formal attire gathered in groups of three or four, chatting in low voices and occasionally letting out a few reserved laughs.

After tonight, some of the passengers who were relatively unfamiliar to everyone before should be able to quickly get to know each other.

"It seems I have some misunderstandings about Victoria."

Glancing at the food and drinks on display, Lucius nodded slightly and looked at Victoria and her three best friends who were talking with Sanita not far away.

"It's a rare opportunity to show off, so I have to show a different side of myself than usual. That way I can easily attract your attention."

"At least judging from the results, she was successful."

Iveliya's tone was very calm, and there was a glimmer of wisdom in her calm eyes.

Tonight's banquet was different from the previous one held in Clovis Manor. In that banquet, Grand Duke Glade was the undisputed protagonist, and few people would care about Iveliya, so she could naturally be more casual.

But today, following Lucius, she was destined to be one of the focuses, so it was natural for her to enter the second form - the noble sister.

Different from the round-headed sister who usually breathes whenever she wants, she is now dignified and elegant, calm and wise, as cold and awe-inspiring as a flower on a high mountain, and her words and deeds are as standard as a textbook.

At this moment, Iveliya's temptation is no less than that of the cold and elegant fairy in gauze on the fantasy set next door.

Vanilla again.

"Hahaha, good evening, Lucius!"

At this time, a big blond man came towards Lucius with a smile. The man was tall and strong. His shirt was stretched tightly by the huge muscles under the fabric, and it looked like it would burst at any time.

Ferdinand Bourne Lv.34

The big guy walked up and patted Lucius's shoulder enthusiastically with his big, strong hand without saying anything. Then he showed a look of surprise:

"It's only been half a month since we last met, and you're already so strong and powerful? What a pure power!"

"Alright! I've sensed your domineering intentions. Once we get to Ethelion, let's go to my old house and have a fierce fight!"

Iveliya: ???

Fight, fight?

Quack! You evil man, stay away from Brother Lu!

"Don't make the word sparring sound so misleading, Ferdinand."

Lucius's expression was a little helpless. "Let's wait until we get to Splenda. After all, if we defeat you, we'll lose an immediate combat force, which is really troublesome."

Ferdinand Byrne, the son of the Marquis, is one of the initiators of tonight's banquet. Like Reinhardt and Victoria, he is also a core member of the small group in the East who is close to Lucius.

The Bourne family is a pure warrior family that despises magic and only pursues a strong body and martial arts that transcends the limits. They call it purity.

Lucius, who had treated Ferdinand like a punching bag since he was a child and severely insulted him in the area of ​​purity that he was most proud of, naturally gained Ferdinand's loyalty - even though he would basically be paralyzed for several days after each beating.

It is the love that belongs to it.

It is worth mentioning that the first stop of this trip, Etherion, is the territory of the Bourne family.

The imperial nobles only have a small amount of administrative and economic rights over their territories. In addition, Marquis Bern holds an important position in the army. Therefore, although Eselion is the territory of the Bern family, its lord is stationed in Weiss.

This situation was not uncommon among the imperial nobility, and was also the case with Victoria and her family.

"Well, indeed."

Ferdinand thought for a moment, then nodded seriously:

"Lucius, you have a point. Let's wait until Splenda."

"I hope you can spare some time by then. I heard from my father that His Majesty is about to give you a very difficult task."

Is this Lao Deng’s test for the ghost-fire yellow-haired man?

That is indeed very difficult.

"Don't worry, beating you up won't waste too much time."

Lucius smiled.
