In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

[After all, if Agrippina's disguise was exposed at this time, Nero would definitely be affected. ]

【That's not what you want to see. 】

The night before leaving, Ian lay in bed, thinking about what else he had not told Nero.

And just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Although he didn't really want to receive guests at this time, Ian still shouted in the direction of the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Mr. Seneca. Can you come in now?"

That was Nero's voice.

After hesitating for a moment, Ian agreed to her request.

"Well, come in."

With a click, the door opened.

Nero, wearing clothes so thin that his body could be seen clearly, appeared in Ian's sight.

But the man is no longer surprised by this - she always looks cute and sexy in front of him.

"Nero, what's wrong?"

"Teacher." Nero looked troubled, "I can't sleep."

"Eh?"

Ian was a little surprised.

After all, he rarely saw Nero suffering from insomnia - even when her father passed away, she was sleeping soundly.

"Teacher, can I sit next to you?" Nero asked again.

"of course can."

Ian sat up and made room for Nero to sit down.

"Nero, what's wrong with you?"

"Um..." Nero looked at his teacher, his green eyes filled with worry.

"Teacher, do you remember that I am going to give a speech at the Senate?"

"Of course," Ian nodded, "This is the opportunity your mother fought for."

"Hmm..." Nero's voice became a little quieter.

"I'm a little worried that I'm going to waste this opportunity."

"..."

【You suddenly realized something. 】

[That is, as he grows older, Nero's immature cognition is gradually becoming mature. 】

[Compared to her confident appearance when she was a child, she has become a little hesitant now because of the heavy workload of studying. ]

[This is not a good thing - at least not for being an emperor.]

【You realize that as a teacher, you cannot just sit back and watch this happen. 】

"Why would you worry about something like this?"

Ian patted Nero's head.

Although she has matured a lot, her hair is still as soft and smooth as ever, like the finest wool.

"Did you not make any preparations?"

"No, it's not!" Nero shook his head again and again, "I have been preparing for this since the day my mother told me!"

"I have already—"

“I’ve tried my best!”

Knowing that Nero would not lie about such things, Ian continued to ask.

"In that case, what do you have to worry about?"

"Is it because you feel that your status is not high enough, or something else? I think that kind of worry is meaningless."

"No, not that." Nero continued to shake his head.

"What is that?" Now it was Ian's turn to be curious.

"I..." The girl raised her head and looked at the teacher in front of her. Only his figure was reflected in her eyes.

"I'm afraid of embarrassing you."

"..."

Ian was stunned at first, then he laughed.

He knew that was exactly what she would think.

"I see--"

"Then Nero, do you know what the teacher thinks of this speech?"

Ian reached out and gently stroked Nero's fair and smooth cheek, comforting her tenderly.

"I...think this is my chance to make a name for myself—because you'd definitely give a pretty good speech, wouldn't you?"

"..."

Nero's pupils dilated slightly in an instant.

Obviously, the encouragement from the teacher gave her great motivation.

"Teacher... do you really think so?"

"Of course." Ian nodded.

"Nero, don't forget what you said seven years ago - you want to be the emperor of Rome and win the respect of everyone."

"If that's the case, the teacher will of course believe you, so please believe in yourself as well."

"Hmm!"

Nero regained his former confidence.

"Teacher, you are right--!"

"I want to be the emperor. How can I be stopped by a mere speech?"

"now it's right."

Looking at Nero who had become lively again, Ian also had a faint smile on his face.

"Go back and rest quickly - we'll be leaving soon, and you can't get tired now."

"Hmm~"

Nero stood up and prepared to leave Ian's room.

But after walking a few steps, she stopped and then returned to her teacher.

"teacher--!"

“I suddenly felt there was a better way to restore my energy.”

"In what way?"

"That means resting with you!"

"..."

To be fair, Ian knew that he should reject Nero's request at this moment.

But he had been saying things like this for seven years - and not once had he succeeded.

"Okay, come up quickly." The man gave up preaching, "Then go to sleep obediently and stop making trouble."

"Hmm~"

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Except for that dishonest hand, Nero indeed slept peacefully in Ian's arms, no different from when he was a child.

Perhaps the only difference is that his figure has become quite exaggerated among his peers as he gets older.

Looking at her like this, the man felt a little nervous for some reason.

He always felt that things would not go smoothly.

[You and Nero have made a series of preparations. ]

[With Agrippina's farewell, you temporarily left Ubiolum and headed to the Roman capital where the Senate was located.]

[This is not a journey that can be completed in one day. ]

[You and Nero saw a lot of things on the road. ]

"Teacher." Nero looked at the scene outside the carriage, his green eyes showing a hint of thoughtfulness.

“Why do these people still work outside when the weather is so hot?”

"Because life is hard, Nero."

Ian gave his own explanation.

"If they don't work this way, the only outcome that awaits them is starvation."

"Then no one is going to help them?" Nero asked, "They are all people living on Roman soil, right?"

"I don't know about that." Ian rubbed Nero's head.

"But Nero, you can be the one to help them later, right?"

"That makes sense."

Nero turned around and looked at his teacher.

"Umm, but I want to help them now, too, okay?"

"of course."

[Nero is kind-hearted - this is quite rare in a noble lady like her.]

[After all, the girls who were pampered by their superiors had no idea what kind of life the common people in Rome lived.]

[Or rather, they really hate these dirty and smelly workers.]

[Only someone like Nero, who has ambitions to become emperor, would be able to notice such things during his travels.]

【With this in mind, the girl spent all the money she brought with her along the way. 】

[However, you did not blame her. Instead, you thought that this was a behavior that deserved encouragement. After all, considering the people's sentiments was a good quality that an emperor should have.]

[Amid the praise of the people, you and Nero came to the Roman capital where the Senate is located. ]

[The girl's first speech is about to begin. ]

As Nero's only companion and attendant, Ian was arranged by the Senate to sit in a seat where he could directly see Nero.

For a moment, the man didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

But there was one thing he was sure of - that was that he must not show any signs of panic while sitting in this position.

Only in this way can Nero, who is responsible for the speech, be given enough confidence and support.

And this is indeed the case.

The young girl in the center, facing the large number of elders from the Senate below the stage, once again felt the tension from the bottom of her heart.

People from all noble families and different forces now focused their attention on him.

To be honest, the pressure is really great.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally with his teacher, Nero still felt that he couldn't handle it.

but--

This feeling didn't last long.
