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

"As you command! I will do my best to find out the truth."

Lucius knelt on one knee again.

"To support your work."

Kokuus continued, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:

"I allow you to utilize the royal intelligence unit, the Night Owl."

"However, considering your engagement with Plotina, I have temporarily handed over the command of the Night Owl to Plotina. As you will be husband and wife in the future, your cooperation should be even more tacit."

"Besides, I know that Glade has granted you the authority to command the Ravens. With the two elite forces of Night Owl and Raven, I believe this mission will not be difficult for you."

Damn, just from this one sentence you can tell that the two old men must have been communicating with each other a lot!

A hint of deep meaning flashed in Lucius's eyes, but it quickly disappeared:

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will submit a preliminary report as soon as possible."

"it is good!"

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, stood up from the throne, his purple-gold robe swaying slightly with his movements, and announced loudly:

"In that case, today's imperial meeting ends here."

"Sir Lucius, you can go to the inner court to meet Plotina. Young people should communicate more with each other."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lucius bowed deeply and turned to leave.

Leaving the throne room, Lucius was led to the inner court deeper into the palace.

Lucius' heart was filled with emotion, as he was about to actually meet his "forgotten" childhood sweetheart.

Fate is such a wonderful thing. Even though Plotina has erased all traces of herself in Lucius' memory, Lucius can still recall everything through simulation.

Plotina, I haven't seen you for ten years. What have you become of me?

After passing through several gorgeous portals and carefully manicured indoor gardens, Lucius was finally brought to an elegant small palace.

"Her Highness the Third Princess is waiting for you inside."

The maid spoke respectfully and then stepped aside.

Lucius took a deep breath and walked through the palace door.

The interior is bright and sunny, with elegant white furniture complementing the famous paintings on the wall and the blooming flowers in the vase.

A slender figure stood by the window, her long black hair cascading like a waterfall, a platinum belt perfectly cinching her slender waist, and the intricate lace patterns on her luxurious dress swayed gently with her movements. Every detail highlighted the owner's noble status.

Hearing footsteps, she slowly turned around.

It was a breathtakingly beautiful face, with crystal-clear gray eyes, a high nose bridge, and cherry-colored thin lips. Every inch of its contours was as exquisite as a work of art.

The little girl in my memory has now grown into a stunning princess.

「Plotina Basilius Lv.39

Gift: Seeing Distraction (Gold)

Status: Lost of mind

When Lucius came into view, Plotina's pupils suddenly contracted, a barely perceptible tremor flashed in her gray eyes, and a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal appeared on her perfect face.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she had thousands of words to say.

She couldn't control her eyes and couldn't help but look at him, just like a thirsty person who drinks water even though he knows it's poisonous.

She had no intention of loving him, and she had tried hard to nip the bud of love in the bud, but when she saw him again, the love in her heart was revived.

"Lucius..."

She murmured his name in an almost inaudible voice.

But soon, she forced herself to restore the unique reserve and pride of the royal family, hiding her loss of composure at that moment under a mask.

"Hello, dear princess."

Lucius pretended to be meeting them for the first time and bowed politely.

Plotina snorted lightly, deliberately put on a proud attitude, and raised her chin:

"The son of the Eastern Territory Guardian? Humph, you have a beautiful appearance. I hope you have more than just your appearance to please others."

Having said that, her eyes couldn't help but linger on Lucius, carefully sizing up the boy whom she forced herself to forget but couldn't truly forget.

And...why can't "Jianfenxin" sense Lucius' emotions?

This unexpected change made Plotina uneasy.

Lucius simply smiled at Plotina's sarcasm, then took out another bouquet of roses he had picked from the rose garden and handed it to her.

"It's from the Clovis family's rose garden in the East. I picked it myself."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Your Highness will accept it."

Plotina looked at the bouquet of roses and was stunned for a moment.

She knew the origin of these flowers. It was the sea of ​​flowers that had appeared in her dreams countless times.

When she was six years old, she broke her promise. She did not return to the East with Lucius, nor did she see the sea of ​​flowers with her own eyes.

A strong emotion surged in her chest, almost suffocating her.

It was a mixture of guilt, joy, fear, and longing.

Could it be that Lucius has recovered his memory?

She took the bouquet tremblingly, not daring to look Lucius in the eye, and said calmly:

"Hmph, are you trying to please me? Do you think you can get rid of a princess with just a bunch of flowers?"

She held the bouquet to her chest, her fingertips unconsciously caressing the petals, her eyes revealing an unconcealable tenderness that contrasted sharply with her deliberately pretended indifference.

"Your Highness has misunderstood."

Lucius raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes:

"It's just that Nora wanted it, so I prepared it for her."

"I accidentally picked a few too many flowers when I was picking them, and they just happened to make a bunch, so I brought them here."

"I figured it wouldn't matter who I gave it to, I might as well just give it to His Highness."

Hohoho, Xiao Pu, don't think that Brother Lu is a nice guy~

You did something so unfair to Brother Lu back then, and now Brother Lu will definitely punish you severely!

Plotina: ???

No, Nora...

Yes, I have already given Lucius to Nora.

Bitter jealousy grew in her heart, but she could only suppress it and not show it.

She pretended to be indifferent and walked aside, placed the bouquet on the table, and said with her back to Lucius:

"Haha, I did hear that you and the Prime Minister's granddaughter Nora are in love with each other."

"And you're also close to my sister Octavia... It seems the son of the East Guardian is quite popular and has a lot of affection for everyone."

The bitterness in her heart surged up uncontrollably, and Plotina didn't dare to turn around, for fear that Lucius would notice the tears in her eyes.

"I am over-flattered."

Lucius did not feel ashamed at all, but rather very proud.

He sat down on the chair very naturally, crossed his legs, and spoke calmly:

"After all, my life goal is to become a harem king, and now I've only taken a small, insignificant step."

"Oh, by the way, are Octavia and Nora the only ones you know? Actually, there's also my secretary, Iveliya..."

"you......!"

Plotina could hardly control her emotions and turned abruptly to look at Lucius.

Fortunately, she quickly calmed down and put on a nonchalant expression:

"Whatever you say, whatever you want to be, I don't care."

"Anyway, this engagement is just my father's order. We just need to get what we want."

She tried to make her tone sound cold and distant, but her heartbeat was accelerating.

Lucius raised the corner of his mouth slightly; this provocation obviously worked.

He was about to continue the conversation when the maid's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Your Highness, the First Princess is here again."

Plotina and Lucius looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the air suddenly became subtle.

At this time, Iveliya was still in a coma.

PS: This is the last draft. I probably need to take a day off tomorrow.

This May Day holiday was like a rush. I went out on the 30th, took a hiking route, and then had to come back immediately to meet up with my good friends from high school.

Alas, my schedule is full. It’s vacation, but why does it feel busier than usual?

85-Lucius, are you feeling proud now? (6K6)

uninvited guest.

It refers to a guest who arrives suddenly without being invited.

Octavia at this moment is such an existence.

The moment she stepped into the room, the air seemed to freeze.

Her iconic flaxen long hair was loosely tied up with a simple headband, with a few unruly strands hanging down beside her delicate collarbone.

The patterns embroidered with gold thread on the exquisitely tailored white dress sparkled in the sun without being too eye-catching, outlining her perfect figure. Her every move showed her graceful demeanor and appearance.

Octavia's beauty is no less than her sister's, but her charming eyes, which seem to be able to speak and have a hint of drunkenness, reveal a personality that is completely different from Plotina's.

"Oh, my dear sister, I heard that Lucius came to your place. I hope I didn't disturb you~"

Octavia chuckled and slowly approached Lucius and Plotina, a mischievous glint in her eyes and a slight upward curve at the corners of her lips, with a barely perceptible hint of provocation.

It was like a beautiful cat with evil intentions quietly appeared, ready to start her carefully planned game.

There was no doubt she did it on purpose.

Not only did she put on full makeup, but her clothes were also carefully designed, and they were all the most popular and attractive outfits in the Empire this year!

The person is not good!

Plotina's expression instantly stiffened, her rosy lips pressed into an almost invisible line, her slender fingers unconsciously clenched, her knuckles turning white from the force.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Plotina tried to keep her tone calm.

Octavia didn't immediately respond to her sister's question, but walked straight towards Lucius.

The ruby ​​earrings swayed gently with her steps, reflecting the eagerness in her eyes and adding a bit of brilliance:

"Honey, I thought you would come to me first~"

"But when you arrived at the inner court, you went straight to see Plotina."

"It's really sad. It seems that in your heart, an old friend like me can't compare to the freshness that your fiancée brings to you."
