Lucian's mouth twitched slightly: "Rover, you've been way too sensitive lately."
Rover's pretty face was cold: "Am I the one being too sensitive?"
"But if the target of suspicion is you, anyone would be sensitive."
After saying that, Rover suddenly reached out, grabbed Lucian's collar and yanked him up hard.
Before Lucian could react, Rover quickly leaned in and instantly captured Lucian's lips...
Lucian: "?"
Carlotta: "?"
Rover took a deep breath, then quickly pulled away while Lucian was still stunned. She said angrily:
"You have her perfume scent on you!"
Lucian was silent for a moment: "...Is it a crime your nose committed?"
Carlotta beside them helplessly held her forehead. Although it was just an accident,
it still gave her the feeling of being caught in the act.
Lucian still tried to argue: "Is there a possibility that Carlotta's perfume is quite strong, and since she was pressing on me, it rubbed off?"
Rover shook her head: "No, besides your body, there's also the taste of lipstick on your lips."
Lucian: "..."
Carlotta beside them hurriedly waved her hands: "Rover, to be honest, we did accidentally kiss."
"But I can promise you it was purely an accident. I absolutely have no intention of going after your husband!"
Seeing that Rover still looked half-doubtful, Lucian cupped Rover's flawless cheeks and said affectionately:
"Rover, you know me."
"In my heart, the person I love most is you."
Rover's face flushed slightly upon hearing this. Seeing this, Lucian held her cheeks and kissed her deeply.
Carlotta: "..."
Why are you two kissing again?
Even though it started because of an accident, we're currently trying to catch traitors. Isn't this a bit too relaxed?
But for some reason, watching the two kiss so passionately, Carlotta felt a sour feeling in her heart. Was this what jealousy felt like?
Watching the person who had just kissed her immediately turn around and kiss someone else—it really didn't feel good.
Seeing how immersed and enjoying Rover looked, Carlotta quietly licked the corner of her mouth, reminiscing about the sensation just now.
Because everything happened so suddenly earlier, Carlotta had been a little flustered and didn't feel much.
Now thinking back, it actually felt pretty good...
But the two of them had only touched lightly like a dragonfly skimming the water; it wasn't as deep as what they were doing now.
Thinking of this, Carlotta couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Since they had already kissed anyway, it would have been better to continue exploring deeper. That way she could have known exactly what kissing felt like.
Instead of just a superficial taste like now, leaving her feeling a bit unsatisfied.
This kiss lasted quite long. Whether it was from shyness, lack of breath, or both, Rover's face was flushed, looking exceptionally alluring.
Seeing the two slowly separate, Carlotta cleared her throat lightly, about to interrupt them, but first heard Phrolova's somewhat resentful voice:
"Could you let me get up first? The floor is really a bit cold."
Although she couldn't see or hear, she could still perceive some things happening outside through frequency.
Lucian was truly a heartless man—he actually just left her lying on the cold floor like that.
When she captured him later, she would definitely make him experience the same feeling.
In reality, the reason she hadn't escaped yet was to see what other tricks Lucian could pull.
Moreover, staying by his side could also achieve her goals.
After all, Cristoforo was still outside carrying out the plan, and for now, Lucian and the others hadn't deviated from the course.
If something went wrong, she, being beside Lucian, could quickly steer things back on track.
Lucian chuckled lightly and picked her up in a princess carry.
Feeling the familiar warmth and scent, Phrolova couldn't help but rub her head against his chest.
"Speaking of which, Miss Carlotta's skills are pretty impressive too."
As mentioned before, there are differences in strength even among Resonators.
From Carlotta's movements, her strength was not weak.
Carlotta smiled lightly: "Actually, besides being the second daughter of the Montelli family, I have another... more important identity."
"That is—the family's Executioner."
Lucian asked puzzled: "Executioner?"
Carlotta nodded slightly: "That's right. Whether there are traitors within the family or external forces trying to harm the family,"
"I will find them and deal with these uncontrollable risks in a dignified, covert manner."
"For example, those guys hiding in the Modulation Hall."
Carlotta subtly reminded them—after all, they were still trying to catch the traitors. What if the traitors escaped?
She took the lead and walked toward the Modulation Hall: "The Modulation Hall is over there. Let's go."
"Let's see what exactly they're up to."
Lucian and Rover exchanged a glance and followed.
...
In front of the Modulation Hall door, two Twin Dancers stood quietly, as if they had long anticipated the group's arrival.
Carlotta's expression turned serious: "It seems they've left a little surprise for us."
"But if they think this is enough to stop us..."
"Then they're sorely mistaken!"
With that, Carlotta reached under her skirt and pulled out an extremely long and dazzlingly brilliant lance. The weapon shone like a gem, radiant and eye-catching.
Lucian looked puzzled: "Where did you pull that from?"
Carlotta cleared her throat lightly: "Don't forget, I'm also a Resonator."
"Materializing a lance shouldn't be anything rare, right?"
The Twin Dancers raised their ice swords and swung at Carlotta simultaneously.
But Carlotta remained calm. Her petite and agile body shifted slightly, her slender waist twisting gently, easily dodging the attacks.
Then Carlotta bent her beautiful legs and leaped lightly. Her figure drew a beautiful arc in the air as she pulled the trigger of the lance.
"Bang— Bang—"
Two shots hit precisely. This was the first time Lucian had seen Carlotta fight.
As he had judged before, although Carlotta was the Second Miss of the Montelli family, she was no vase.
These Twin Dancers were stronger than the regular dancers they had seen before. Carlotta's two shots didn't deal massive damage to them.
But soon, Carlotta's next attack followed.
A semicircular ice crystal resembling a fortress enveloped the Twin Dancers, even carrying a time-stop effect.
With a sound like glass shattering, a violent explosion blasted the Twin Dancers away, after which they turned into golden Reverberations.
Lucian exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't expect your strength to be this high?"
Lucian was still a bit shocked.
After all, Carlotta's strength really didn't match her petite appearance.
"As expected from what was said before—although your height isn't great, your strength is still very high."
Carlotta put away her lance with a face full of question marks: "Didn't I say not to casually discuss other people's height?"
