With a splash, Nero's long golden hair scattered on the water.

Ian gently applied some bath gel on his hands and began to rub the girl's head.

"Nero, is this strength okay?"

"Hmm~" Nero nodded repeatedly, "Teacher, this is just right!"

"That's fine."

Ian rubbed the soft golden hair while continuing the previous topic.

"Nero, the teacher didn't mean to blame you just now... but if you want to become the emperor, you still have a lot to do."

"It's not just a place where you can sit and enjoy everything, I hope you understand that."

"..."

Nero was silent for a while, then nodded seriously.

"I know...I got carried away."

"Sorry, teacher."

"I can understand why you're getting carried away." Ian gently stroked Nero's long hair, squeezed out a lot of foam, and then washed it clean.

"You did perform well after all - for a moment, I did see an emperor standing before everyone."

"Really?" Nero was a little bit unbelieving. "Teacher, do you really think so?"

"Yes," Ian replied, "otherwise, I wouldn't have followed you into this trap bath - this is my recognition of you."

"Hmm~!"

Nero swayed his body from side to side.

It was obvious that she was genuinely happy about the praise from her teacher.

Ian didn't say much - this was her time to celebrate.

However, this shakiness did not last long.

Nero quickly stopped, looking like he had thought of something.

Ian noticed this and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Are you going to come up with some trick to deceive the teacher again?"

"No, no!"

Nero, with his back to Ian, became a little shy.

"I just suddenly want the teacher to teach me something."

"Teach you something?" Ian was a little confused.

In my daily teaching, I have never hidden anything, and I will basically give my best to whatever I can teach.

This made the man curious.

"Can you tell me what it is first?"

"Then teacher, please promise me first that you will never reject me!"

"How can there be such a condition - I can't do it, so of course I can't agree to it. Just tell me what it is, and if it's okay, I'll do my best to make it happen."

"You can definitely do it." Nero said firmly.

"Because...I want you to teach me how to kiss!"

"..."

Ian was stunned for a moment, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he continued speaking.

"Why are you saying such strange things for no reason?"

"It's not surprising at all!" Nero leaned on Ian, looking at the man with his back tilted back, his face flushed with embarrassment.

"I... just want to give it a try! If it doesn't work, then..."

Nero didn't continue speaking, but his meaning was clear enough - that was that he didn't want to give up no matter what.

Apparently, this was actually part of her plan for the day.

"..."

Ian was silent for a long time, then asked.

"Nero, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious!" Nero stared at his teacher, "Teacher has never taught me anything like this, right?! I... want to try it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl felt her lips being gently touched.

By the time she reacted, Ian had already ended the kiss.

"Okay, it's just that simple."

"Eh--!"

Nero blushed and she held Ian's hand tightly.

"That doesn't count! I wasn't prepared at all, teacher, you're bullying me!"

"Then I'll feel it next time." Ian smiled.

"..."

Nero suddenly understood something.

"Teacher, do you mean that as long as I behave well enough, I can directly ask you to do this kind of thing?"

"Maybe...it depends on how good it is."

"Hmm~" Nero raised his hands high as if to celebrate, "Then wait for me, teacher - I will definitely convince you to come and teach me!"

"Really? Then give it a try."

"Hmm, wait!"

Looking at Nero who had made up her mind, Ian smiled and touched her head.

There was one thing he didn't want her to know - that at the moment of the kiss, he also felt a moment of pleasure.

[You and Nero reached a taboo agreement in the bathhouse that only the two of you knew about. ]

[This will become the motivation for the girl to continue climbing towards the position of emperor. ]

【But the development of fate is not so smooth. 】

[Nero's mother, Agrippina, will once again stir up a terrible commotion in Rome for her daughter's accession to the throne.]

396. Nero's Rose-scented Kiss/Promise/The All-Seeing Mother (4k)

[With the promise made at the bathhouse, Nero obviously took things much more seriously than before. ]

[You can feel that for that teaching commitment, she is trying very hard to achieve the perfect "emperor" image.]

[The first thing to do is to absolutely suppress those people in the Senate in their speeches.]

"Nero, you clearly have no political experience, why do you dare to talk so much!"

"Then I want to ask you a question, Fortes. Does the sun get stronger or weaker the longer you observe it?"

"This... Of course not! The sun is the sun, how can it change because of people's observation?!"

"Then isn't the same principle true for being in politics? Just because you've been in politics for a long time, does that mean that what I, who have been in politics for a short time, say is wrong?"

"Fordes, that only proves that you are an incompetent person who has not understood what you should have understood in all these years. It does not prove that my speech just now was just empty talk."

"you……!"

"Okay, I don't want to hear any more ridiculous remarks like this, please stop speaking!"

[Nero's arrogance spread rapidly in the Senate.]

[Everyone knows about this collateral royal descendant from a remote city.]

[This is what you wish to see - the emperor should have such courage.]

[However, you did not get carried away, but became more cautious. ]

[The Talented Royal Teacher has been replaced with Absolute Vigilance: You begin to demand yourself to be a guard and must protect Nero's safety. ]

[Your innate compassion and kindness has been activated: You carefully avoid situations where others suffer because of Nero's arrogance, which would damage her reputation.]

In the mansion, Nero was looking at his teacher Ian with curiosity.

"Umm, teacher, what are you doing?"

"Poison test." Ian answered quickly, "From now on, I will test everything you take in. I will give it to you once I'm sure it's absolutely fine."

"Understand?"

"Ming, I understand..." Nero nodded, and then realized something.

"Hey! If it's a poison test, shouldn't someone else come?"

"No." Ian shook his head. "Nero, we shouldn't involve innocent people. They have no obligation to test poison for us."

"But the teacher doesn't have it either!" Nero was anxious.

"I have." Ian looked at his students, his eyes full of seriousness.

"You are my student - I have to ensure your safety no matter what."

"Teacher Seneca..."

Nero looked at Ian, his green eyes gradually becoming moist.

"Don't cry." The man tapped the girl's head with his hand. "You are the future emperor of Rome and the absolute successor to this empire."

"Don't cry like a child anymore - that's unworthy of your status as an emperor."

"I...I know."

Nero said this, and then watched silently as Ian tasted all the food for him.

At this moment, she once again realized the weight of the word "emperor".

[Fortunately, no one dared to attack Nero. ]

[If you think about it carefully, the reason is actually very simple. She is now the focus of the entire Roman Senate. If anything goes wrong, it will definitely cause an uproar.]

[The various conflicts of interest that arise from this will definitely be more troublesome than keeping her. ]

[Although she didn't get poisoned, Nero still felt that you cared about her - that was an act that cost her her life.]

[This young girl begins to get closer to you, intentionally or unintentionally.]

A quiet night.

Nero, wearing thin pajamas, sat in the arms of his teacher Ian.

In her hands was a Roman tome written in Greek and Latin, every line of which was difficult to understand.

“Hmm! It’s so difficult…” Nero raised his head and started to act coquettishly towards Ian behind him.

"Teacher...I don't want to watch it anymore!"

"Nero, don't be like this." Ian reached out and gently stroked her head. "You are going to be the Roman emperor... You can't be so impatient."

“That’s what I said—!”

Nero pouted.

"But I have to take a break once in a while. I've been working hard for over a month!"

"..."

Looking at Nero's resentful green eyes, Ian realized that if he continued to force it, he probably wouldn't be able to see anything.

"All right then—just take a break tonight."

"Go to sleep."

“Hey——!” Nero reached out and grabbed Ian who was about to blow out the oil lamp, “Teacher, don’t be so rigid!”

"Resting isn't just about sleeping."
