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

Without waiting for a response, Lucius turned to the old official, ready to inquire about the audience with the emperor tomorrow.

However, when Octavia gracefully stepped out of the carriage, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"This this......"

The old official froze in place as if struck by lightning, his eyes widening and his lips trembling.

"You are..."

Octavia stepped forward and smiled at him:

"Long time no see, Uncle Albert. You look a lot older than before."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

The old officer's voice was almost choked:

"Is it really you? But why are you with Sir Lucius..."

In his eyes, Octavia's face was so similar to the late former Queen Helena, and she also had the shadow of the little princess who disappeared more than ten years ago.

Those blue eyes and that noble temperament all reveal her identity.

Octavia nodded slightly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes:

"It's a long story. If it weren't for Lucius, I wouldn't be able to come back."

The old official bowed deeply, his voice trembling with excitement:

"Anyway, welcome home, Your Highness!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty will surely be delighted. Please allow me to escort you back to the palace immediately!"

After hurriedly instructing Lucius about tomorrow's audience with the emperor, the old official was eager to take Octavia to the palace.

Octavia made a shocking move in front of everyone.

She turned lightly, her skirt drawing a graceful arc, then she gently moved closer to Lucius and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Her lips touched his slightly cold skin lightly, and she whispered in his ear in a voice that only they could hear:

"I will help you realize your wish, please look forward to it~"

Afterwards, she didn't care about everyone's reactions - especially that of a certain green-haired girl, and followed the officer away.

The nobles and officials around began to whisper, and shock spread among the crowd.

"The First Princess?"

"Her Highness Octavia?"

"Hasn't she already..."

"She looks just like the late Queen. Between her and Lucius..."

Amidst the chaos, Lucius found Nora standing at the edge of the crowd.

When the girl saw him approaching, her face flushed, but her eyes were fixed on him, full of confusion and dissatisfaction.

Brother Lucius looks much better than last year, but...

Why is there a strange woman around him?

The first princess?

When did this happen? Why did this happen?

And is the gray-haired one with long hair a boy or a girl?

Does he/she also have bad intentions towards Lucius' brother?

Damn it, it's all Grandpa's fault for not letting me leave the house. If I could stay with Brother Lucius, how could this happen...

Nora wrung her hands together, wanting to step forward and question him but shyly retreating. In the end, she just stood there, sulking in her own anger.

"Nora."

Lucius called softly to the girl.

Without hesitation, he opened his arms and embraced the girl, giving her a warm hug in front of everyone.

"!!!"

"Brother Lucius..."

Nora froze in his arms, her face flushed almost to the point of smoking, but her eyes revealed endless joy.

At this moment, all the negative emotions and thoughts lingering in the girl's heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only the joy and sweetness of reuniting with her lover after a long separation.

He was always like that, always knowing what to do to make her happy.

"I missed you so much, Nora."

"When you're not around, I miss you every day."

Lucius hugged Nora tightly, as if he wanted to convey his thoughts to her through this action.

"I, I missed you too..."

Nora whispered back, her voice so soft it was barely audible.

Poor Nora, she was dizzy from Lucius's combo and her eyes were almost turning into mosquito-repellent eyes.

She could do nothing but respond to the other person's actions foolishly.

Nora is like this, like a timid little animal. She will curl up tightly when poked by a finger, but when she finds that it is someone close to her, she will slowly stretch out her body and rub your fingertips timidly and flatteringly.

After a moment, Lucius loosened his arms, took out a bouquet of carefully selected roses from his magic storage, and handed it to Nora:

"I brought the roses you requested, as I promised."

"Each one is carefully selected by me, just like how I choose the most important people in my life."

This is a large collection of roses, including all varieties of roses in the rose garden. The petals are sparkling with subtle water light, shining like stars in the sun.

It can be seen that after being picked, it was immediately subjected to magical preservation treatment and stored in the storage space.

"Thank you, Brother Lucius... they are so beautiful..."

Nora took the rose, her pupils trembling with emotion.

Hehehe, Sister Plotina, guess who gave this to me?

do you have?

"Not even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as you."

Lucius leaned close to her ear, his tone full of sincerity:

"Compared to you, they are but insignificant decorations."

These sincere words made Nora's heart beat faster, and her little face turned red like a ripe apple. She completely forgot that there were so many people around watching them.

Lucius smiled and pulled her close, whispering the secret between them in her ear, causing Nora to blush even more and even forget to observe Lucius's companions.

Iveliya, who was standing not far away, observed the scene, her brows first furrowed, then relaxed.

Are you so shy that you can't even speak?

So weak!

If we swapped our positions, even if Brother Lu said these words to me, I would be able to handle it!

Let me make it clear in advance that I am not jealous, absolutely not!

Sister Ai eats Lugo hot dogs every day, so how could she be jealous over such a small thing?

Iveliya originally thought that Nora would be a difficult opponent, but seeing her so shy in front of Lucius, she felt that this little green-haired girl was nothing special.

This love rival doesn't seem to be a big deal. Not to mention that time has stopped, it seems that she wouldn't even dare to do anything to Brother Lu under normal circumstances!

Ivilia's vigilance relaxed instantly, and she even began to feel a little sympathy for this girl who looked as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

Alas, it’s so pitiful to fall in love with a scumbag like Lu Ge.

However, Iveliya did not notice that the moment Nora lowered her head, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, which was the concentration and vigilance of a hunter.

But she hid all of this perfectly under her shy appearance, and even Lucius didn't notice.

Perhaps this seemingly innocent green-haired girl is far more complex than anyone could imagine.

PS: Wow, we have finally reached the Imperial Capital chapter.

I’m finally going to write about my favorite part about women fighting.

81-If one day I fall in love with your husband~ (6K)

As the carriage moved along the Imperial Road, old steward Albert sat opposite Octavia, still struggling to calm his excitement.

"Your Highness, you, you are really back..."

The old man's voice trembled slightly and his eyes were moist.

"Your Majesty has been searching for your whereabouts for years and has sent out countless spies, but all has come to nothing..."

Octavia smiled, but a complex emotion flashed in her eyes:

"Fate always likes to play tricks on people, Uncle Albert."

“The peaks and the valleys, both have taught me a lot.”

Upon hearing this, the old official nodded slightly. It seemed that Her Royal Highness the Princess's experience over the years was much richer than he had imagined.

The carriage slowly drove into the depths of the imperial palace's inner courtyard and stopped in front of the magnificent palace.

Octavia took a deep breath, preparing to face the father she hadn't seen in eighteen years.

Inside the palace, Emperor Coccus had been waiting for a long time.

The iron-fisted monarch who had ruled the empire for decades could not hide his anxiety at this moment. He paced back and forth in the hall, looking at the gate from time to time.

Suddenly, Kokwus stopped and turned around as if he had noticed something.

Then, he ignored the emperor's dignity and strode towards the palace entrance, directly passing by the guards who hurried forward to report.

His sharp eyes were fixed on the front, and he even held his breath unconsciously.

They've arrived. He could already hear the sound of his daughter's heels hitting the ground as she got out of the car.

The sound of footsteps approached from afar, and Octavia slowly walked into the main hall.

Her long flaxen hair falls like a waterfall, her blue eyes sparkle with mystery and wisdom, and her every move reveals her innate elegance and nobility.

They are so similar, so similar.

Of the three daughters, Octavia inherited the most characteristics from her mother.

Kokwus stopped subconsciously, his calloused hands hanging in the air.

At this moment, the iron-blooded emperor was like a cowardly child and did not dare to move forward, for fear that all this was just an illusion in his midnight dream, which would disappear like morning dew at the slightest touch.

"Father......"

Octavia noticed her father's panic and took the initiative to step forward and gave him a gentle hug.

"my daughter!"

Kokuus' pupils trembled, and he was finally convinced that the person in front of him was not an illusion. The resonance of blood reminded him all the time that this was his eldest daughter who had disappeared for eighteen years.

At this moment, the emperor, who was always known for his ruthlessness, actually burst into tears.

"You're really still alive... That's great, that's great!"

Kokwus' voice was choked with sobs, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"Yes, Father, I am back."

Octavia nodded slightly, her eyes slightly moist.
