Lucien’s figure appeared in the doorway.

He wore a crisp, fitted uniform. The sharp line of his shoulders and the wide leather belt at his waist outlined his lean, powerful frame.
Silver metal buttons reflected a cold gleam under the light. His long trousers wrapped around his straight legs, and polished military boots covered his feet.
This outfit pushed his usual cool, restrained aura to an extreme, giving off an unmistakable sense of temptation.
“Pffi!” The moment Silas saw Lucien, he burst out laughing.
He knew it! It was the secretly flirtatious Lucien.
Silas stretched out his hand and gracefully pulled the beast core, the mineral, and the rare metal over to himself. “I won.”
Marcus‘ face instantly darkened. He looked at Lucien at the door and said disdainfully, “Are you dressed for a meeting, or to attend a pageant?”
Lucien was dumbfounded.
Seeing the people in the room, lying on the floor on makeshift bedding and dressed casually, Lucien was caught off guard.
This was not what he had imagined.
Kieran looked at Lucien standing in the doorway. His pink, star–like eyes blinked thoughtfully.
He didn’t know Emma enjoyed these things.
He silently made a note of it, planning to try something similar one day.
He wasn’t in the military, so he didn’t have a proper uniform.
Nonetheless, there were all kinds of uniforms sold online, and he could buy a few sets.
Should he also wear a pair of gold–rimmed glasses?
Meanwhile, Edric didn’t say a word. He simply gave Lucien a deep, unreadable look.
He hadn’t expected the most serious and proper of them all, Prince Lucien, to have such wild interests.
Lucien stood stiffly in the doorway as everyone stared at him, unsure whether to step
forward or turn
back.
Finally, he realized he’d read too much into it.

Chapter 423 About To Find Out
When Emma said she needed to stay with Remy, she had meant it literally.
She wasn’t trying to hint at anything else.

“Lucien, come in already.” Seeing him standing frozen at the door, Emma walked over and pulled him into the room, easing his embarrassment.
Luckily, Lucien was wearing a uniform, not whatever strange outfit Silas had been wearing.
Otherwise, it would have been even more awkward.
“Emma, I…” Being pulled inside, Lucien’s ears turned red.
He felt guilty. When Emma had said they would stay with Remy together, his mind had gone down the
sewer.
“It’s okay.” Emma gently patted his hand. “Tonight, we’ll just stay here and watch over Remy.”
Not wanting to aggravate the situation, she asked, “Marcus and the others are planning to sleep on the floor tonight. Do you want to sleep on the bed, or will you join them on the floor?”
Lucien glanced at the men lying on the ground, then lowered his voice and asked Emma, “Where are you going to sleep?”
Emma pointed to the couch. “I’m sleeping here tonight.”
The moment he heard that, Lucien frowned, clearly disagreeing.
“Emma, how can you sleep on the couch?”
No wonder those guys had all spread out their bedding around the couch.
Then, they had the nerve to laugh at him.
Emma didn’t think there was anything wrong with sleeping on the couch. She replied, “If I sleep on the couch, I can stay closer to Remy.”
Lucien shook his head. “It won’t be comfortable. If anyone is going to sleep there, it should be us.”
“Emma, why don’t you sleep on the bed tonight? Silas can sleep on the floor beside it. You’ll still be just as close to Remy.”
As he spoke, Lucien picked up Emma’s blanket and carried it back to the bed.
“You need a good night’s rest. Don’t worry, we won’t bother you.”
Just as Lucien finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
All of them instantly looked toward the entrance.
Marcus tossed out another Rank 10 beast core.
