"Whatever - I don't care."

"not give a damn about?"

"That's right." Nero raised his head and met his teacher's gaze, his eyes filled with a confidence that was completely different from before.

"The only opinion I care about is the teacher's."

"The rest of the people, even my mother, don't matter - I don't intend to take their feelings into consideration. It means nothing to me."

"I... am the Emperor of Rome. I don't need to report to them when I do things!"

"..."

Ian thought Nero would be depressed for a while because of what her mother did, but he didn't expect that she would resolve her inner conflict so quickly.

"Nero, you really are becoming more and more like an emperor."

"Teacher, you can't say that!" The girl smiled confidently, "I'm not 'like', I am the Emperor of Rome!"

"Makes sense."

Ian stroked Nero's head with some joy.

"This time, the teacher is wrong."

"Hmm~ I'm glad to know!"

Nero pulled Ian to the edge of the city wall, and the white moonlight fell on the two of them like a silver gauze.

"I really want to sing a song today!"

"Then sing," Ian encouraged. "You haven't spoken for a long time, have you?"

"Umm, that's right! I'm going to sing tonight!"

It is still a heart-wrenching physical song.

Ian felt like his head was about to be blown apart - but seeing how cute and serious Nero looked when he sang, it all didn't seem so unbearable.

"Hmm! How is it?!" the girl asked again, "Is Yu's singing as beautiful as always?"

"……probably."

"Then the teacher will listen to Yu singing for the rest of his life, right?"

"Yes, I will."

[You and Nero kissed under the moonlight.]

【You have become people on the same front at this moment. 】

[You will all face the pressure coming at you like a tide.]

[Although the situation is much more dangerous than before - after all, this time we are really going to fight against Agrippina. ]

【But you find yourself feeling a lot more relaxed than before. 】

[If you think about it carefully, you probably feel that you have completely understood Nero's determination and realized that she has become someone you can rely on. ]

Agrippina's threats were no joke.

As Nero's mother and the wife of the previous emperor, she used various means to gather considerable power in Rome.

The nobles, who had already been critical of Nero's policies, would naturally not miss this opportunity to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

For a time, voices opposing Nero's pro-popular policies emerged from every corner of the Senate, blowing towards the young emperor like a strong wind.

however--

Nero, who received recognition from his teacher Ian, showed resilience like fire.

Her rose-like speech was like a sharp thorn that hit back at those profit puppets who were driven by her mother.

"Your Majesty, you should ensure that our wealth is not harmed by those commoners."

"I will do so - but the premise is that everyone's interests are guaranteed. Only when the citizens are prosperous can the nobles have a future."

"Your Majesty, if the late emperor saw you defending those despicable blades... he would definitely regret handing over the Roman Empire to you."

"I never worry about such things - because the people of Rome will convince my father for me."

[No matter what kind of verbal attack he faced, Nero was determined to use the "people" to fight back. ]

[As a skilled debater, she knew this was an impeccable starting point—no noble dared to stand up and deny such a thing, because that would mean confronting tens of thousands of Roman citizens.]

[For a time, the internal situation of the Roman capital fell into a stalemate. ]

[It can be said that Nero temporarily blocked the "attack" from his mother Agrippina with his own strength. 】

【And at the same time, you didn’t come either. 】

[While neither side can find more reasons to attack the other, you have recruited citizens in the Roman capital who have sworn allegiance to Nero.]

[Although this kind of external support may not be powerful at a single time, it is powerful enough. ]

[After a month of debate, momentum began to turn in Nero's favor.]

[It seems like you have won - but you know, the real trouble is yet to come.]

[Agrippina would never allow things to develop in a direction that would benefit her daughter.]

[As a vicious woman who killed her three husbands in a row, she is good at the miraculous thing called "magic", so she must have a bigger killer move. ]

【You realize you have to prepare something in advance. 】

but--

This kind of thing may sound simple, but when you actually start to act on it, you'll find that you have no idea what to do.

You have to know that "magic" was an extremely rare thing in that era, otherwise, it would not be possible that Agrippina killed two husbands in succession and no one could notice anything was wrong.

And if you really want to fight against "magic", you must master "magic" yourself.

But the problem is-

Where to master it?

Even in the Roman palace, few people knew about the existence of "magic", so who else could help him learn "magic"?

Ian was in trouble.

He was worried that if he really angered Agrippina, she might do something very unfavorable to her daughter at all costs.

Three more days passed in this anxiety.

The fate that was unwilling to be ordinary brought Ian an unprecedented path at this time.

Boom——

Boom——

It was a rainy night with thunder and lightning.

Ian, who had just finished making love with Nero, saw a scene from the window that he had never imagined in his life.

I saw a white light falling vertically from the sky and hitting the city wall not far away.

After the light faded, a man in a green coat and a green tall hat appeared there.

And in his hand, there was actually a golden cup!

403. Leif's Appearance/The Night That Changed the Future/Magic Enlightenment (4k)

【This is a sight you have never seen before.】

[It turns out that someone could survive a lightning strike like that. ]

[Your intuition is telling you that the man holding the golden cup is definitely not as simple as you think.]

【You realize that you might have to go meet him.】

Ian glanced at Nero beside him.

The young emperor was now soundly sleeping, with a slight hint of warmth showing through her open chest - that was the evidence of their intimacy.

Ian wanted to wake her up and go together to find out who was surviving in the lightning.

however--

The man soon discovered that Nero seemed to be in some unspeakable dream.

She spread her hands and started talking in her sleep as if she was giving a speech.

"This is Yu's husband——!"

"..."

After hearing these words, Ian could probably guess what Nero was dreaming about.

"Really..."

As the man said this, he gently closed the girl's open chest and covered her with the quilt.

If you want to go alone, just go alone.

I...must figure out what's going on.

[You temporarily left the room you shared with Nero.]

You walk through many corridors.

【You have reached the city wall.】

Fortunately.

That person didn't leave.

In the pouring rain, Ian moved forward step by step towards where the man was.

The previous conjecture was further verified:

I saw the golden cup that the man was holding, and when I got closer like this, I could feel a more obvious aura.

And as someone who was seeing it for the first time, Ian found that he could actually recognize what it was.

That's right!

It was the same "magic" that Agrippina used.

No.

It should be said that it is even more powerful than that - after all, even I can sense it like this.

"..."

【You realize that you may have the possibility to learn magic. 】

[This unprecedented event is stimulating every nerve in your body - after all, this may be the key to protecting Nero in the future.]

[So even if you don't know the other person's identity at all, you still feel the courage to ask. ]

[That is the thought of doing everything for the one you love. ]

[You decide to take the initiative to understand this mysterious man in front of you. ]

Boom——

A bolt of lightning fell.

Feeling the cold rain, Ian shouted to the man in front of him:

"Who are you?! Why are you here?!"

"..."

The mysterious man turned around and gave Ian a half-smile.

"People of this era?"

"I thought... no one would be awake at this time."

"There are always people awake in Rome!" Ian responded, "So who are you?!"

"..."

"There are always people awake at all times."
