Royal Authority Seal: I Am Your Father

'Message connected.'

'Spiritual particle comparison confirmed, license comparison confirmed—'

[Royal power], to bestow.

In the vast starry sky, shining with a bright light, the satellite orbiting the Earth emitted a crisp, cold sound.

A gigantic crystal slowly unfolded on the far side of the moon, in a place imperceptible to anyone. It appeared, pierced through the boundless universe, and transformed into an invisible rainbow of light, like an eye lowering its gaze, slowly descending towards the planet surrounded by the moon, located on the western landmass.

Rome.

The Serenity street was empty except for the two people breathing in each other's arms.

Nero Claudius, the royal princess with dazzling golden hair, a beautiful face, and gorgeous clothes, is now facing the greatest crisis she has ever encountered in her life.

The person who came was a terror she had never encountered before; simply facing him gave her a feeling of almost suffocation.

Even when she encountered her uncle Kagura, who became especially terrifying after his madness, like a raging flood, she felt nothing.

Fear and terror filled my heart; in an instant, it felt as if my heart was being clenched, and all the blood in my body seemed to freeze in that moment.

But the man in front of him didn't make a move. He just frowned and looked the girl up and down.

Rovi's mind was in turmoil, but he couldn't detect anything in an instant.

He came to Rome from the thirty-six Highest Heaven of the Divine Land of Huaxia. As soon as he arrived in Rome, he was attracted by a mysterious aura.

That aura was undoubtedly the "information" emanating from the "Moon Cell".

' Moon Cell '

Without a doubt, this is Rovi's target this time.

However, the girl in front of him clearly did not have that supercomputer feeling—a supercomputer with specifications comparable to the sun, and manifesting in human form would be an easy thing for her.

As for its appearance, Rovi naturally thought of the Roman Emperor Nero, but compared to the emperor, the Moon Cell was more worthy of his attention.

It wasn't her.

So...

"It's on you." It's inevitable that it can't be detected, after all, it's something of a higher standard than itself.

Rovi stepped forward, his flowing black hair billowing in the wind. No longer standing in China, he had reverted to his previous attire: a simple yet dignified linen robe that, as it rolled, brought a sense of oppression, like dark clouds pressing down.

Nero wanted to move, she wanted to escape. She knew the person before her could easily kill her, but she didn't want to die. She wanted to save the country, and she wanted to find out why her uncle had gone mad...

She wanted to move.

She longed for her body to move...

'License confirmed.'

'--pass!'

The cold, mechanical voice echoed in Nero's mind. Rovi stopped in his tracks, and the next second, a dazzling light suddenly descended from the sky, shining down on Nero Claudius.

Rovi flicked his robe to dispel the light, only to find that the girl before him had vanished.

He was stunned for a moment.

He immediately took a step forward, and the standard Roman Praetorian short sword slashed past him, preventing him from being struck by the blade—the swordsman clearly didn't want to kill him, but only wanted to knock him unconscious, just like he did with the Roman Praetorians still lying on the ground around him.

"Hmm, did you dodge it!?" A clear, slightly hoarse voice suddenly appeared behind Rovi. The girl flipped up, her red dress swaying, and her fair, full legs stepped back, her flesh swaying and creating distance between her and Rovi.

Rovi turned around and looked at her.

Have they regained their mobility?

That feeling just now...

"Of course, it's on you!" Rovi smiled. "Your Highness Nero Claudius."

They have the same appearance.

Same location.

Although he didn't care, Rovi certainly wouldn't hesitate at all because of his identity.

"Hmm? You know me too?" The blonde girl's emerald green eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Are you also one of the people my uncle sent to kill me?"

"Would a warrior with such a powerful aura succumb to my uncle's madness?"

Nero's expression was very serious. If things were really as she thought, then the matter was very troublesome.

"Kagura? Of course not, I don't know him." Rovi pointed to Nero in front of him. "I am Rovi, and I've come for something on you."

"Something?"

Nero paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and reached out with his empty hand, only to find nothing.

Gone?

No. That's not right— Nero looked at the back of his hand, where a red marking had appeared out of nowhere.

Although they looked different, how could she not see it clearly? These red patterns were exactly the marks engraved on the ring she had just been holding.

Almost identical.

Nero was surprised, but Rovi suddenly swayed and appeared in front of her, grasping Nero's hand and scrutinizing her with a deep frown. "So it's this thing... has it fused with you?"

"Hmm?" Hao's hand was held in Rovi's palm. Nero subconsciously struggled for a moment, but stopped abruptly upon hearing his words, looking slightly hesitant. "Fusion?"

"This is a fragment of a license from a massive computer outside the heavens." Rovi's's observation was indeed correct; something related to the ' Moon Cell ' was indeed in Nero's hands.

Are there any fragments of the ' Moon Cell ' license or similar items?

That's roughly the case.

In that instant, Nero received this permission and approval, which is why he was able to break free from Rovi's's oppressive aura and attack at the same time.

"Computer? License fragments? Hmm... I don't quite understand, but it's probably a very strong power, right?" Nero's delicate eyebrows twitched, but she didn't seem particularly excited.

Rovi withdrew his hand. Although it was a bit of a pity, things that have been recognized as belongings are difficult to snatch away. Rovi would not stoop so low as to snatch something from a little girl.

In any case, he could sense that the Moon Cell's gaze had fallen upon this country called Rome.

The scattered 'license' is not limited to the one held by Nero Claudius.

Find it, then merge it.

Then seize the enormous computing power of the ' Moon Cell '.

It's either death or strength.

Just as Rovi lifted his foot to leave, Nero's voice made him pause. "Are you very interested in this, sir?"

"Very interested." Rovi glanced sideways at the blonde girl and said, "What? You have more?"

"Of course not, but I know who does!" Nero took a deep breath and replied.

She said, "I stole this thing from Cagliari—the current ruler of Rome, the Roman Emperor."

Is it Kagura again?

Seeing the questioning look in Rovi's eyes, Nero took a deep breath and slowly spoke as her full breasts heaved, "Yes, it's my uncle, Kagura. He went mad because of this thing."

The now infamous Roman tyrant Caligula was once a capable ruler, and in the early days of his reign, he was deeply loved by the Roman citizens and the elderly nobles of the Senate.

The reason he has become so insane, domineering, and even issuing crazy orders to hunt down all members of the royal family and everyone connected to him, is widely rumored to be because Caligula was loved by the mad Blood Moon.

But as the former royal prince who was once most favored by his uncle, how could Nero not know the real reason for Caligula's madness?

"His madness was indeed due to the moon, but not because of any Blood Moon or his beloved, but because he came into contact with something that fell from Mount Tsuki."

"So, you just fused that thing?"

"Hmm, that's right." Nero looked at Rovi with a solemn expression, his emerald green eyes filled with determination. "The ring I have was stolen from him, and he should have many more."

Should it be?

"That's right, I heard that this thing originally fell from Caligula's body!"

"Will it fall...?"

Rovi pondered for a moment, "So you want me to help you?"

"Yes, I hope you can help me," Nero said.

"Why?"

"Because you are powerful, and because you know the reason for Caligula's madness."

Without the slightest hesitation, Nero's expression was serious and firm. "Moreover, I can sense that you have no ill intentions towards me."

Is it Instinct... or should I say it's the intuition of a doe-faced person?

Rovi looked at the girl's swaying ahoge on her head, reached out and tried to press it down, but found that he couldn't get it down no matter what he did.

"Hmm? What do you want, sir?" Nero looked puzzled, showing neither anger nor embarrassment.

Rovi withdrew his hand. "It's nothing, just trying something I've wanted to do for a long time."

"Since you trust me so much, I guess I'll have to go with you then—" He waved his hand, "Let's see what kind of person your Uncle Caligula is!"

"Hmm, don't worry, I won't lie to you. However, we need to devise a meticulous plan before we go. The Roman Court is heavily guarded; entering without being detected will be a significant challenge..."

"Hey? Where are you?" Nero hadn't finished speaking when he noticed that Rovi had turned and walked out of the alley.

The girl sheathed her sword at her waist and quickly followed, saying, "Um, wait for me!"

The streets of Rome were bustling with people. Although Caligula was cruel, his cruelty had not lasted long, and it was mostly confined to the palace.

So when the sunlight falls and the dome glitters, the dust in the air moves and people come and go, the city and street corners still show signs of life.

"Where do you want to go?" Nero asked in a low voice as she caught up with Rovi's. Her emerald green eyes kept glancing around, worried that someone might recognize her and come after her.

With her skills, she was naturally not afraid, but in public, Nero did not want to accidentally harm the common people.

Rovi glanced at the girl beside him, appearing completely nonchalant. "Where? Isn't that a pointless question?"

"Of course, it's the Roman Court."

"Hmm? The Roman Court!?" Just like that? Without any elaborate plan? Without knowing the gaps in the guard rotations!?

Force your way in!?

Nero knew the man before him was strong, but he hadn't expected him to choose such a brutal and ruthless method to accomplish this...

"Wait, are you serious? I know you are strong, but the Roman court is protected by gods—"

"I know."

"That deity is no ordinary god; he is our Roman patron god, the chief god Mars!"

"I know."

"Do you know that you still need to be careful?"

Why not gag!?

"..."

Nero thought she was already crazy and daring enough, daring to break into Caligula's palace by herself and even escape unscathed while stealing something important from Caligula. But she didn't expect that someone she randomly found would be even crazier than her.

He wanted to fight the entire Roman Praetorian Guard by himself.

Even challenging the authority of the Mars, God of War!?

However, after thinking it over, Nero gritted her teeth and followed him... After all, she was the one who brought this guy here, and Nero didn't want him to die because of it.

At least he can't die in front of me—

So, who is helping whom, huh?

But whatever Nero thought in his heart, he had no intention of doing anything at this moment.

Because we have arrived at the Roman Court.

The Emiya had discovered their presence and quickly surrounded them—the red feathers on their helmets swayed violently as they raised their Spear and Shield to instantly form shields.

"Your Highness Nero Claudius, I never expected you to deliver yourself to our doorstep!" The commander of the Royal Guard rode up on horseback and shouted, "Lay down your weapons and surrender, and we promise you will not be harmed!"

They clearly recognized Nero.

Nero glanced around at the guards surrounding him from all sides and sighed.

"This is troublesome."

"Is it troublesome? Not at all—" Rovi shook his robe and took a step forward.

The Praetorian Guards stood side by side, gripping their long spears and halberds tightly. This was the fighting style of the Roman Legion, where they would advance one side at a time, layering their attacks to continuously wear down the enemy's strength.

However, it is also the best formation for encircling and capturing the enemy.

At the commander's command, in that very instant, as Rovi's took a step forward, dazzling light suddenly appeared from all directions. Amidst the ripples of golden light, countless iron chains extended out, binding all the soldiers.

"What kind of evil magic is this!?" The commander was stunned and before he could react, he was pulled off his horse.

Rovi stopped, saying, "This isn't an evil spell, it's just a Binding God Noble Phantasm— "

What do you think?

Nero stared in disbelief upon hearing Rovi's words, only to hear a deafening boom from above the Roman Court...

Mars, the guardian god of Rome, has been alerted and has come out!

"Who dares to trespass into the courtyard guarded by the great Mars!?"

Before the divine shadow even arrived, a thunderous sound exploded in the air.

"Lord Rovi, run—" Nero opened his mouth, but his voice could not travel far under the terrifying aura.

Did you hear that, Rovi?

Perhaps they didn't hear it, or perhaps they heard it but ignored it.

However, Nero could not prevent this scene from unfolding before him, nor could he stop himself from taking a step forward and confronting Kamui. He would confront Kamui and ask him questions.

"Who are you?"

"Your father."

"?"
