The girl grabbed Ian's arm like a puppy guarding its food, not wanting to give him any chance to relax.

The man certainly knew what Nero was thinking at the moment, and he quickly spoke:

"Nero, don't be like this, this time it's all thanks to Boudica."

"Thanks to her?" Nero looked up at his teacher, his expression somewhat confused. "What does this mean?"

"See it?"

Ian pointed to the chariot parked on the burned-out street not far away.

"This time, it was Boudica who risked her life to send me to you."

"If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to reach you now."

"This……"

Nero glanced at Ian, then at Boudica, his expression gradually changing from struggle to hesitation.

She probably realized that her behavior was inappropriate.

Queen Britannia, who had vowed to protect their relationship, saw this scene and responded with a smile.

"Nothing."

"Seneca is so powerful, even without my presence, he would definitely find another way to get to you."

"Seneca, am I right?"

"..."

Before the man could open his mouth to respond to Boudica's emotionally intelligent explanation, Nero's answer caught her off guard.

"Thank you, Boudica."

"Eh?"

The Queen of Britannia could hardly believe what she heard.

The high and mighty young emperor whom he considered a role model actually thanked him?

"What's that expression on your face?" Nero muttered.

"Does my thanks make you so uncomfortable?"

"That's not what I meant..." Boudica quickly denied this statement, "I just didn't expect that one day I would be able to hear your thanks."

"Hmm?"

Now it was Nero's turn to be confused.

She held onto Ian's arm and refused to let go, looking at the much taller man beside her.

"Teacher, is my thanks so valuable?"

"You just realized this?" Ian replied with a smile, "So you should express your inner gratitude to others more often. They will definitely feel your charm too."

The man's words precisely touched upon Nero's little vanity.

She began to feel a little proud: "Of course, I am the emperor of Rome, so my charm is naturally at the highest level!"

"Oh, yes."

Boudica smiled and nodded.

"Isn't this... pretty good?" she thought to herself.

The originally slightly awkward atmosphere was resolved by everyone singing in unison.

Nero also began to ask other questions in his mind.

“Hmm—”

"What was that gun that the teacher used before?"

“Although I can’t control my body, I can still feel that it is a very powerful weapon.”

"And...it's very familiar!"

"Yes," Boudica agreed. "Seneca, what kind of weapon is that? I haven't seen you use it before - is it a killer move specially prepared for this operation?"

"..."

Faced with the doubts of Nero and Boudica, Ian did not intend to hide anything.

He quickly told them exactly what had happened when he heard a voice claiming to be Romulus.

After hearing all this, Nero became excited instantly.

"Teacher, are you serious?!"

"You...really heard his voice?!"

"Of course." Ian nodded, "Nero, you know there's no need for me to lie to you about this."

"However, judging from your reaction, he seems to be a very powerful person?"

"Hmm!"

Nero grabbed Ian's arm tightly, looking as if he was afraid that Ian couldn't hear what he was going to say next.

"This is the first emperor of Rome, my ancestor!"

"what?"

Ian finally understood everything now.

All the familiarity comes from the true identity of Romulus - this is the true incarnation of Rome!

No wonder... Nero is called "my son".

"It's over!" Nero seemed a little devastated. "If I turn Rome into this in front of him, I will definitely be expelled from my imperial home!"

"Teacher, what should I do?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, then laughed.

"Nero, if that's the case, I think the reason he showed up might not be because he wanted to blame you, but because he recognized you."

Nero has always believed in Ian's words.

This is true even if it contradicts one's own cognition.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

"Nero, this is the situation."

In order to dispel Nero's worries, Ian told him about the resurrected Claudius he met on his way here.

The logic behind this is simple.

As an emperor, Romulus did not extend the help of his ancestor to Claudius at that time, but chose Nero who came later.

In a sense, this is a recognition of her and praise for her virtuous deeds during her reign.

perhaps……

As the embodiment of Rome, Romulus never left this land. He just looked down at the empire he created with a lofty attitude and protected his descendants.

"This……"

Nero, who understood what was happening, found that things were not as bad as they seemed.

She stretched out her head from the ruins, looked up at the sky above her head which had returned to its azure blue color, and murmured to herself;

"Teacher, is he still here now?"

"Gone." Ian did not give Nero false hope. "When I decided to approach you alone, he left with the gun."

"Teacher, you are such an idiot..." Nero said coquettishly.

"Why not let him wait for me?"

"I'm sorry, if I had known, I would have asked him to stay and talk to you."

"Hey!" Nero suddenly realized something.

"In that case, doesn't it mean that my ancestors recognized you, Teacher? Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you use that gun to force my theater out, right?"

"Well... in a sense it is true."

Ian wasn't so sure.

After all, in that situation, I am the only one who can do this.

but--

Of course, Ian would like to think that Romulus recognized him.

After all, that would mean that he was also recognized by the land of Rome.

"That--!"

Nero leaned on Ian's shoulder, and her proud breasts seemed to want to swallow her lover's arm directly into her ravine.

“Hmm, so the relationship between Yu and Teacher is blessed by our ancestors, right?”

For a moment, Ian didn't know how to understand Nero's complex train of thought.

But the man knew that at this moment, all she needed was a word of affirmation from him.

"You can think so."

"But even without his blessing, I would still marry you."

"The teacher is really fascinated by Yu's body... He has become so obscene."

Nero blushed and spoke as if he was blaming Ian, but his tone was so obvious that even a three-year-old child could hear the joy.

"Really? How come Yu is so charming?"

"Well - although I don't really want to disturb you at this time." Boudica interjected carefully, "but I really want to know, Nero, why did you become like that."

The Queen of Britannia replayed the scene of the moment when the Golden Theatre (Babalon Domus Aurea) appeared with her arms melting in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He looked countless times more powerful than Nero during the duel in the arena.

It is no exaggeration to say that at the moment when the evil black flames completely engulfed Ian, Boudica thought she had no hope, but fortunately she was safe in the end.

"This one……"

Knowing that Boudica had made an important contribution, Nero did not refuse to answer her question.

There was a flash of light on the girl's hand, and a golden holy grail slowly fell down.

The only difference from an ordinary holy grail is that at this moment, its surface has a slightly darker glow.

"actually--"

“I don’t really know what’s going on.”

Nero looked at the Holy Grail in his hand, his eyes looking a little confused.

"I just wanted to see the teacher again, and then I heard the voice coming from it."

"When I came into contact with it, I became like that without noticing - but now it doesn't seem to be a big problem. At least the teacher did come to me, so it still has some effect!"

"..."

Hearing Nero's words, Ian realized that she regarded herself at this moment as the wish for the Holy Grail to respond.

but--

This doesn't seem like a lie worth exposing.

If this can make her feel a little better, it wouldn't be such a heinous crime.

Unlike Ian who understood the truth, Boudica simply took Nero's words as the reasonable explanation for all this.

"I see."

"It seems that in the end, Nero, you saved yourself."

"Really?" The young emperor tilted her head slightly, and then showed an extremely cute smile.

"Hmm~ Now that you mention it, it seems so."
