Solaris' Strongest Resonator

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: What Wrong Have I Done?

"Lucian, what do you think?" Rover rubbed her chin and asked.

The corners of Lucian’s mouth hooked up slightly: "All of this is Imperator’s choice."

Rover was expressionless: "Speak human words."

Lucian stared at the archive about the Vitreum Dancers and speculated: "Assuming that the Dancer who came to see us was really due to the Sentinel’s guidance..."

"Then us coming here based on various clues is probably within his expectations as well."

"No one in Rinascita has ever seen the Sentinel; even you, who had an agreement with the Sentinel, couldn’t make the Sentinel appear."

"It means the Sentinel must be unable to show up right now due to some reason, so He uses this method to remind us."

"From following the Dancer out of the city, to seeing Lario, and then coming here..."

"The archive now in front of us, the location that catches the most attention is that hidden high tower."

"This is also a hint; the Sentinel might be suggesting that we should go to the high tower and take a look."

"Plus the association between the Vitreum Dancers and the stained glass paintings mentioned in this legendary story, perhaps there are things we want to know there..."

Carlotta leaned toward Lucian; a fragrant breeze passed, and the pleasant scent of perfume surged into Lucian’s nostrils:

"It seems inviting you to Ragunna was indeed the right decision."

"I think so too; this is a high tower once abandoned by the Order."

"There might be some secrets hidden inside; this should also be what the Sentinel wants us to see."

"The reason for choosing to meet you through the Vitreum Dancer is probably to hint at the stained glass paintings."

Lucian narrowed his eyes slightly and extended a finger: "Is there a possibility that Imperator simply wants to see the heaven-shaking, ghost-weeping countenance of the God of Universal Love?"

Carlotta slightly bent her slim waist, lifted her head with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, gazing at Lucian: "Although it’s undeniable that you do have a fine appearance, the Sentinel probably wouldn’t go to such great lengths for such a trivial matter, right?"

"Even if the Sentinel is really as simple as you say, I think He is attracted by your soul."

"After all, ’good-looking appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are one in a million,’ isn’t that so?" After saying that, Carlotta winked at Lucian.

Carlotta’s beautiful eyes fluttered; her pupils were like a colorful gem, dazzling and captivating, making one unconsciously drawn to her.

As the second miss of the Montelli family, she was well-maintained; her smooth and tender pretty face had not a single flaw. Anyone seeing such a face at such close distance would find it hard not to exclaim in admiration.

Lucian paused, then smiled slightly, extended his finger to hook her chin, and leaned down slightly. The distance between the two was merely a finger’s width, their breaths brushing against each other’s faces.

Carlotta was obviously startled by Lucian’s bold action; her pink lips parted slightly, looking somewhat stunned.

"Since you say even Imperator would be attracted by my soul, I wonder if the second miss of the Montelli family has even a bit of a heartbeat?"

Carlotta stared unblinkingly at Lucian’s pitch-black, profound pupils, as if a black hole, deeply sucking her in, unable to shift her gaze.

She recalled that accident before; although it didn’t last long, the shyness and palpitation in her heart were not fake.

But besides that, there was more of a flustered feeling; after all, she never thought she would lose her first kiss in such a way.

Thinking of this, Carlotta felt somewhat annoyed inside. Clearly, she could usually face any matter calmly, but only when this accident happened did she have mottled emotions, leading her to not properly feel what kissing was.

Along the way, Carlotta had basically let down her guard and probing toward Lucian; her inner emotions showed on her face, and her exquisite pretty face instantly collapsed.

Before Lucian could be puzzled, his cheek was pinched by another cool and smooth small hand.

"Are you two treating me as if I don’t exist?"

Rover’s tone was somewhat chilling, and the slightly ambiguous atmosphere came to an abrupt halt.

Lucian said seriously: "Rover, you misunderstood; I said before that only by constantly loving universally can my strength become stronger. I’m not just for myself, but for this family! To better protect you!"

Rover snorted coldly upon hearing; Lucian thought he was going to be sanctioned again, but unexpectedly, Rover suddenly cupped Lucian’s cheeks with both hands and turned him toward herself, then said with a firm expression:

"My strength is so great; I don’t need your protection... More importantly, I don’t want to see you get hurt because of me."

With that, Rover brought her moist lips close; caught off guard, Lucian subconsciously wrapped his arms around Rover’s slender waist and responded.

Carlotta on the side was somewhat dumbfounded. Clearly, he was just being ambiguous with her, how did he turn around and kiss Rover?

This isn’t right!?

Watching Rover’s face full of enjoyment, Carlotta quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing this scene, Carlotta felt even more annoyed inside; this kiss between Lucian and Rover was not like the previous one, which was brief and accidental.

Carlotta sighed inwardly; although she hadn’t experienced what kissing felt like at all, she could consider having experienced what it means to be left wanting more.

A moment later, the two’s lips parted; Rover had a faint smile at the corners of her mouth and said softly:

"Even if your strength isn’t up to par, so what? I’ll support you, that’s all."

Lucian’s breath hitched; Rover’s golden beautiful eyes sparkled. Did she know how alluring she was right now?

If it weren’t for the inappropriate occasion, Lucian would probably rectify Rover on the spot right now.

Carlotta was also startled upon hearing; she knew how lethal this sentence was. She didn’t expect Rover’s level to be so high!

Carlotta took a deep breath, then clapped her tender white palms twice helplessly: "Go home, kids; if you want to talk romance, go home, okay?"

"We still have proper business to do now; can you put aside the romantic matters for the time being!"

"We’re saving the Sentinel right now, hey! Aren’t you worried at all?"

Carlotta put on a feigned expression of hating iron for not becoming steel, trying to pull the two out of their lovey-dovey atmosphere.

Lucian exhaled a turbid breath, the first to detach from this atmosphere.

He suddenly let go of Rover, his expression extremely serious: "Rover, how can there be a reason for a woman to support a man? Don’t worry, I’ll constantly become stronger to protect you well, but before that..."

Before the two women could react, Lucian suddenly flashed in front of Carlotta, pulled up her tender white hands:

"Miss Carlotta, when can we have some wonderful little accidents again?"

Carlotta: "?"

Rover: "?"

Rover gritted her teeth, suddenly leaped up with a kick, solidly kicking Lucian’s waist, unusually cursing: "You meow be a human!"

Lucian lay weakly in Carlotta’s not-so-spacious embrace, two lines of clear tears flowing down his cheeks:

"Rover, I’m just to become the strongest Resonator in Solaris to better protect you; what wrong have I done!!"

...

...Supplement:

Carlotta chuckled lightly: "Rover, you should have a bit more understanding for your lover."

Lucian rubbed against Carlotta’s embrace, also echoing: "Carlotta is right."

Feeling the sensation in her embrace, Carlotta’s face turned slightly red. Speak if you’re speaking, why rub randomly?

In just one short day, Lucian had already had multiple intimate contacts with her.

As the second miss of the Montelli family, who would dare treat her like this.

In the shadows, as the family’s executor, she had always made people tremble in fear.

And on the surface, as the second miss, with her status there, no one would casually approach her.

Only a man like Lucian, who didn’t care about status and was bold and lustful, would dare to do this.

But Carlotta felt she wasn’t very resistant; she didn’t know what was wrong with her. Could it be because of Lucian?

Rover strode forward, grabbed Lucian’s collar, and pulled him out of Carlotta’s embrace.

"Lucian ah Lucian, I see you’ve eaten too many red beans and gotten lovesick."

The moment he separated from Carlotta’s embrace, both Lucian and Carlotta showed a trace of regret on their faces.

Lucian said righteously: "Rover, don’t worry; even if I’m lying in another woman’s embrace, what I’m thinking in my heart is you!"

Carlotta: "?"

You were clearly very enjoying it when lying in my embrace just now; turns out you were thinking of Rover in your heart?

Carlotta felt somewhat annoyed; she shouldn’t have spoken up for Lucian earlier!

Rover was already immune to Lucian’s rhetoric and directly countered: "Then who are you thinking of when lying in my embrace?"

Lucian laughed awkwardly: "Of course, it’s still you..."

Rover saw Lucian’s slightly guilty expression and got annoyed, raised her pink fist, and swung it over without further ado.

Lucian was scared and quickly hid behind Carlotta, panicking: "Carlotta, after I marry in later, you won’t commit domestic violence, right?"

Carlotta was still thinking about what Lucian said earlier; upon hearing, she snorted coldly: "Not only will I commit domestic violence, but I’ll also sink you into the Coast of Anticipation to feed the fish!"

Lucian: "???"

...

Everyone returned to the first-floor hall to meet up with Zani.

They saw Zani leaning on the circular sofa, leisurely drinking coffee.

Lucian walked forward and spoke first: "Ah, Zani, I didn’t expect you to be slacking off here while we were working hard to find clues!"

Zani put down her teacup upon hearing, glanced at the approaching few; before she could say anything, Lucian sat down beside Zani first: "Slacking off is one thing, but not bringing me along; that’s too unbrotherly!"

Zani: "..."

My boss Carlotta is right beside; aren’t you a bit too loud?

But Zani knew Carlotta wouldn’t mind.

Moreover... aren’t you a bit too close to me?

Lucian was tightly pressed against Zani’s perfect body curves, also taking a cup of coffee from the table and drinking; this was prepared by Zani in advance, everyone had a share.

As Zani thought, Carlotta smiled slightly: "No harm; as long as the matter is resolved, it’s fine to rest for a while."

Everyone sat down on the sofa; Rover placed Phrolova to the side, picked up the coffee and took a sip, then extended her jade finger to lightly tap the table, her gaze sharply looking at Lucian: "Did you sit in the wrong place?"

Lucian looked puzzled upon hearing: "Zani is Carlotta’s bodyguard; I’m your bodyguard. Bodyguards sitting together... should be no problem, right?"

Rover helplessly propped her cheek: "I already said I’ll protect you; if you don’t come over..."

Rover raised her pink fist in threat; Lucian saw this and shrunk his neck, immediately walked over from the comfortable spot, and held Rover on his lap to sit down.

Rover extended her arms to wrap around Lucian’s neck, satisfied: "That’s more like it."

Zani leaned on the sofa lifelessly; how come you start spreading dog food again as soon as you come back?

Carlotta indicated that compared to flirting with her earlier and then kissing Rover, this was nothing.

Carlotta put down her teacup, then said calmly: "If nothing unexpected, someone should want to enter the storage room, right?"

Zani sat up straight upon hearing; after all, now it was reporting the situation, work time:

"Yes, Second Miss; a few thugs wanted to rush into the storage room, but I dealt with them all."

Carlotta chuckled lightly and nodded: "The bait we prepared is something those betrayers can’t refuse... You didn’t get hurt, right?"

Although Carlotta knew Zani’s strength was very strong, out of concern for the Montelli family’s most excellent employee, she still asked.

Zani shook her head slightly; such battles were really child’s play for her: "No, thank you for your concern, Second Miss."

"But I just saw security rushing into the vault; what happened there?"

Zani regretted as soon as she asked: "No no no, better not tell me; no matter what happened in the vault, it must be the family’s core secret."

"All in all, it’s good that the matter is resolved."

Zani didn’t think asking about the family’s secrets was wrong; she just felt these matters would be troublesome, so she didn’t want to hear them...

Carlotta nodded slightly: "Yes, you can rest now; I’ll give you a quite generous vacation..."

However, before Zani could be happy, Lucian extended his hand first: "Wait, Zani’s task is over?"

"Isn’t she still supposed to protect mine and Rover’s personal safety?"

"We’re going to other places in a bit; doesn’t she need to protect us?"

Zani took a deep breath, somewhat puffed up: "Mr. Lucian, are you simply not wanting me to have a vacation?"

Carlotta smiled and waved her hand: "You also saw in that archive; that high tower is indeed the family’s secret. It wouldn’t be appropriate for Zani to follow."

"As for your personal safety... how about I protect you?"

Zani frowned slightly upon hearing; although the Second Miss’s strength is also strong, but having her protect the two distinguished guests?

This doesn’t seem good; not to mention Lucian and Rover’s strength, if something really happens, can they really let the Second Miss protect the two?

No matter what, as a Montelli family employee, Zani believed the Second Miss’s safety is above all.

Zani believed Lucian and Rover wouldn’t abandon Carlotta, but if something happens that makes it hard for them to protect themselves, it would be bad.

Thinking of this, Zani sighed and suggested: "...How about I go along too?"
