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

Lucius looked around at everyone and cleared his throat:

"Everyone, our journey has come to an end. I want to thank you all for your dedication and companionship along the way."

His voice was not loud, but it had a reassuring power, and everyone straightened their backs involuntarily.

"From Vis to Splenda, we have faced countless challenges together and overcome various difficulties together."

"In the treacherous situation in Aetherion and the perilous situation in Lienia, you have all demonstrated the courage, wisdom, and demeanor that the younger generation of the East should possess."

Lucius's gaze was as sharp as a torch, sweeping across each familiar face in turn, his eyes filled with undisguised approval and pride.

"Some of you fought bloody battles against the Chaos Cult head-on, some remained calm and strategically managed to maintain the situation, and some even risked their own lives to bravely protect the innocent civilians around them."

"These experiences have convinced me that the future of the East can be entrusted to reliable partners like you."

"Today, we say goodbye for now, but I believe this is just the beginning."

"No matter what challenges we face in the future, we will continue to move forward side by side to safeguard the glory and greatness of the empire."

"Yes, Lucius, we love your teeth!"

Ferdinand, who was standing in the front row, was the first to shout.

"Eastern Territory Rises, King Lucius!"

Everyone echoed in unison, their voices echoing like thunder under the dome of the station, attracting the attention of the surrounding travelers.

This was an inspiring scene that would move any imperial noble, but some people did not think so.

Standing at the edge of the crowd in the distance was a middle-aged man with a curly beard. He was Lucius's cousin, Domitian Clovis. As he watched the scene, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"That's a good move, Glade."

Domitian curled his lips into a cold smile and muttered to himself:

"Not only did it give my son some experience, but it also won the hearts of the younger generation throughout the Eastern Territory."

"Glide's move was too shady. He directly integrated the younger generation without giving me any chance to intervene or win them over."

"Father, what should we do now?"

Standing next to Domitian was his son Fabian Clovis, who lowered his head respectfully, with obvious timidity and uneasiness in his eyes.

Indecisive, cowardly, and lacking in independent thinking, this is how Lucius described his cousin.

I'm here to fight Lucius? Seriously?

Can I really defeat an opponent like Lucius?

Fabian expressed deep doubts in his heart.

Just by listening to the other party's speech, he already had an urge to pledge his loyalty to Lucius.

"Let's observe for a while."

Domitian shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment in his son flashing in his eyes. He then looked at Lucius deeply, his expression filled with mixed emotions.

"Since Glade has chosen this path, let's see how far his precious son can swim in the complex waters of the Imperial Capital."

After saying this, he put on his skilled, enthusiastic fake smile again, quietly adjusted his clothes, and waited quietly for Lucius to finish his farewell moment.

The noble sons said goodbye to Lucius one by one. Some shook his hands tightly, some patted his shoulders, and a few young girls even blushed and left light kisses on his cheeks.

This scene made Nora, who was standing not far away, look at her with a flickering gaze. Her fingers unconsciously tightened the hem of her skirt, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.

Iveliya: ???

Brother Lu lied to me, this Nora is not scary.

She was provoked in person by so many people, but she could only huddle in the corner and sulk like a kitten drenched in rain. I think she is just like that.

In that case, can I jump in your face later?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, Ivylia subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Nora——

「Nora Berendhill Lv.35

Gift: World (Red)

Status: Aggrieved, angry

Additional Status: Lucius Fermented Bean Curd (■), Sands of Time (EX), Pure Beauty (S+), Exquisite Heart (S), Super Strength (S), Swiftness (A++), Good Lust (E)...

Danger level: medium to high

Forget it, I'll just trust the judgment of "Spirit Eyes" and play it safe first.

After the nobles had said their goodbyes, Domitian slowly walked up:

"Everyone respects you, Lucius."

"Not bad, not bad. You already have some of the demeanor of a guardian of the Eastern Territory."

He wore a carefully calculated, amiable smile and patted Lucius's shoulder heavily. His demeanor was full of intimacy, just like an elder praising an outstanding junior.

"Uncle Domitian, you're too kind. I was just lucky to gain everyone's recognition."

Lucius had a humble smile on his face, and his voice was neither too high nor too low, showing just the right amount of elegance and composure.

"Hahaha, being too modest is another form of arrogance."

Domitian smiled and continued:

"The banquet will be held at 8 pm. Of course, it can be held later. The banquet will start when the main characters arrive."

"Our future guardians of the East will still have this privilege."

"Let's talk about the rest in the evening. I won't disturb you two from talking to each other."

"A short separation is better than a new marriage, uncle understands."

After saying that, Domitian winked at Nora, and the girl blushed immediately and lowered her head shyly.

Iveliya: ???

Damn it, I can tell at first glance that you, old man, are a complete bad guy!

Lu Ge and Nora are a young couple, but what about me?

Where do you put Sister Ai?

Domitian Clovis Lv.101

Damn it, if I could beat you, I would definitely kick you onto the railroad tracks and force you to reorganize your words.

If you don’t speak nicely, I’ll make you a speed bump on the Orient Express!

After Domitian told the time of the welcoming banquet, he left with the members of the imperial capital branch.

Finally, only Lucius, Nora and Iveliya were left on the platform.

"Let's go home together."

Lucius walked towards Nora with a smile and gently held her hand:

"I have a lot to say to you."

Nora nodded slightly, anticipation glittering in her ruby ​​eyes.

The long wait finally paid off, and now it was time for me and my brother Lucius to spend some dreamlike time alone together...

No, why is this little gray-haired guy still here?

Yes, it's in the way.

"Brother Lucius..."

Nora spoke softly, gently tugging at Lucius's sleeve:

"Who is that?"

Because she couldn't be sure of Iveliya's gender, Nora didn't feel comfortable referring to her as "Mr./Ms."

Long hair cannot be used as a basis for judgment, because the trend in the empire has been a bit strange in recent years, and many men like to grow long hair and wear girls' clothes.

Iveliya: ??????

Still slandering!

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you."

Lucius smiled slightly and introduced Nora:

"This is Iveliya, my personal maid and secretary."

"Although we have only known each other for a short time, we have a good understanding and she has become my indispensable assistant."

"Personal maid?"

Nora repeated in surprise, her voice almost inaudible.

What does a personal maid mean?

It means being together day and night, it means taking meticulous care of you, it means...

Nora didn't dare to think any further, and an unprecedented sense of crisis began to spread in her heart.

Iveliya: ...

Brother Lu, although I am happy that you can say I am so important, aren’t you putting pressure on me?

Danger Level: High

——Your childhood sweetheart is now targeting me.

But Sister Ai doesn’t cause trouble, nor is she afraid of it. So, let me show you how I will do it next.

Iveliya walked up to Nora and said with a polite smile:

"Miss Brunel, nice to meet you. I'm Iveliya Alvani."

"Brother Lu often mentions you, saying that you are his most important childhood sweetheart."

"Brother Lu..."

Nora chewed on the name silently, feeling a little flustered.

This name is strange, but it also has a different kind of intimacy, as if the two people have already established a special relationship, it's like an exclusive name.

"Um, just call me Nora."

Nora nodded, looking very reserved.

She has never been good at handling this kind of situation, especially when facing someone who might threaten her relationship with Lucius.

The three of them walked together towards the carriage waiting outside the station.

When Lucius reached out to help Nora get into the car, her cold little hand was held warmly by Lucius, which made her heart feel a little relieved.

According to her plan, after returning to Splenda, she and Lucius should have plenty of time to reminisce about the past, but now...

But Brother Lucius said that Iveliya is his indispensable assistant.

Nora could only accept this reality helplessly.

In the carriage, Nora and Lucius sat side by side, while Iveliya sat opposite them, holding a notebook in her hand and occasionally writing something down.

Only those sitting next to her could see that what she was holding was not a notebook at all, but the "Secret to Victory" that Octavia had given her before!

The reason for writing and drawing with a pen was very simple. She would mark the gameplay that she thought was good and save it for in-depth communication with Lucius in the evening.

Iveliya is serious about pleasing Brother Lu!

"Brother Lucius."

Nora mustered up her courage and asked softly:

"How have you been lately? Why did the First Princess, who had been missing for many years, come back with you?"

She still couldn't forget the kiss Octavia gave Lucius when she left.

The Imperial family is so mean. My younger sister quit the game, and now a new older sister has come.

"Ah, it's a long story."
