Einzbern

Nero's words still lingered in the air. As everyone recovered from their surprise and shock, they discovered that the tall carriage ahead had already entered the palace gates, leaving only a cloud of dust behind.

Rovi and Nero returned to the carriage.

The sunlight fell, illuminating Melly's ethereal, hazy shadow. Only Rovi could see and sense her glancing sideways at the countless people. Her slender, jade-like fingers, raised high, gently pressed against her soft lips, as if deep in thought, pressing down slightly and deforming.

"The human spirit... it seems rather interesting, doesn't it?"

Her voice rang in Rovi's ears as he walked into the carriage.

Rovi smiled.

Are you interested?

"That's right—it sounds like a lot of fun, after all."

"For me, there is no emotion more attractive than pleasure!"

The shadow of the half-Nightmare reappeared beside Rovi in the carriage in an instant. She tossed her long silver hair, her legs, encased in black stockings, slightly crossed and twitching. "I love things that are out of the ordinary—the tragic songs of heroes, the joyful comings of demons. The more exciting and bizarre they are, the more worth watching them are."

"So you even have the idea of personally pushing for this kind of ending?"

"Hmm? It seems you know me quite well." Nightmare's smile, with her crimson lips curving upwards, became even brighter and more radiant. "Wouldn't it be a kind of fun if the story didn't have so many twists and turns, and instead became even more exciting?"

As for the feelings of the people in the village?

What does that have to do with her?

"Then what do you think I am?"

"It's like an elephant living in an ant's nest, carefully avoiding stepping on the ants—it's ridiculous!"

Melly's answer seemed perfectly natural.

The seemingly sarcastic words contained no real sarcasm, because from her perspective, that was indeed the case.

Rovi 'Rovi situation and behavior were things she couldn't understand, yet found extremely interesting.

She enjoys a relationship that brings her pleasure.

"Do you know what kind of pleasurable sexual experience I like best?" Rovi looked at her.

Melly tilted her head. "Hmm? What?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if she had been hit hard with a hammer...

"Puff!"

The silver-haired nightmare girl was instantly sent flying, her illusory body falling out of the carriage. The last thing the gaze swept over was Merlin's beautiful face, which was covered by a mask and eye patch, revealing only her delicate chin and moist red lips. "This is my seat."

Rovi clapped his hands as if brushing off some dust, quite pleased with himself. "My pleasure comes from watching the Pleasure Monster get beaten up!"

"Yes, I'm very happy too." Merlin gently sat down beside Rovi: "My lord."

"Thank you for your hard work." Rovi rubbed Merlin's head.

A strangely comfortable expression appeared on the face of the girl who was the Primordial Dragon, a world that was, in a strict sense, far larger than herself.

The Spirit Origin origin of the dragon, which carries the power of the Primordial Dragon, was sculpted by Rovi himself.

Merlin also has a natural affinity for Rovi.

Before her, in the swaying and bumping carriage, Martha remained sitting upright, while Nero praised his perfect performance.

"Yu Guoxin is the most perfect performer."

"However, Qing's performance was also quite good!"

Nero looked at Rovi and murmured, "As a special reward, I have decided to call you 'Zouzi,' which means the most perfect performer who complements a perfect performing artist like myself!"

"Be happy, this is the emperor's reward!"

Rovi leaned forward slightly, and Nero was sitting not far in front of him. With this slight lean, he was able to get close to him.

The girl's fiery red skirt cascaded down, revealing her fair and full breasts. She slightly crossed and spread her legs, but did not mind Rovi's approach. Instead, she gazed into Rovi's eyes, which were a mixture of gold and red, with her emerald green eyes.

Their eyes met, their lips parted slightly, and their breaths were sweet as orchids.

"Your Holy Son, Your Excellency?" Martha looked over, somewhat stunned.

Boudica also looked over, but the red-haired girl didn't say anything, and her eyes didn't show any surprise.

It's obvious that these two have a close relationship.

Nero smiled. "Hmm? Are you so happy? Do you want to get closer to me?"

"If you wish for further commendation, I wouldn't mind..."

Without a second thought, Rovi flicked his finger across Nero's smooth forehead, which was hidden by her hair.

"Ouch... it hurts!"

Nero's body instantly leaned backward, and he fell to the ground clutching his head.

"They really have forgotten the pain once the wound has healed; they're like dogs climbing on the roof if you don't discipline them for three days!" Rovi twitched his fingers, disdainfully.

On Emperors.

My status is much higher than yours.

Boudica was stunned, while Martha breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that His Holy Son, Your Excellency holy and sacred, and would never do such a thing...

This is her 'faith'.

Although if Rovi had done it, Martha would have instantly found an 'excuse' for herself... a missionary with a firm will always needs a flexible and adaptable mindset.

Rovi sat down again beside Merlin.

He turned to look out the car window.

Once inside the palace, the scenery was naturally different from the outside world; as far as the eye could see, there was a lush garden.

The guards remained strict and solemn.

Ahead...

The emperor's bedroom was located there.

Once they reached the emperor's palace, the journey came to an end, and it was a great success.

Let's leave aside the plans for later.

At this moment, Nero was no longer merely the Emperor of Rome appointed by Mars; she had also gained prestige among the people.

The first character represents the legitimate name, while the second character represents the foundation of the rule.

For Nero herself, once she arrived at her lodgings, all she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep and sleep until she woke up.

I'm exhausted...

Lying on the soft bed in the palace with sheer curtains hanging down on all sides, the girl turned her gaze to Rovi, who had brought her there.

"Why don't you rest here too?"

"I don't mind..."

"Never mind, I'm from a poor family, farewell!" Rovi cupped his hands in greeting and turned to leave.

Nero, who was almost completely buried in the mattress, watched Rovi's departing figure and once again made an "uh-uh" sound.

The ancestors of Rome.

What a reliable messenger!

She remembered the scene of meeting him in the alley, and how she had inexplicably trusted him...

"Yu Guoxin is a wise and perfect emperor, which is why I was able to gain his support."

Nero's crimson lips curved into a smile, her golden headdress swaying from side to side... The young emperor slowly drifted into a dream.

As Rovi Weiqi turned and left, he exited the palace room. Outside, Merlin, Martha, and Boudica were all waiting.

"My Lord!" Merlin went to Rovi's side, faithfully fulfilling his duty as an 'Apostle'.

Boudica replied, "Um... Your Majesty, when will you confer a rank upon me?"

"Britannia needs me, and my people need me to lead them."

"So, Your Majesty, could you please hurry up a bit?"

The Britannia ruler, with her long red hair and healthy, fair body, possessed an exquisite face full of fervor.

Britannia has just regained stability.

It is indeed necessary for her to take the lead.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to the Senate to have them prepare the investiture ceremony for you, making you the Governor of the Britannia Province..."

Rovi waved his hand, and just then, a figure walked in from outside the door. It was a palace attendant, who was also the emperor's messenger.

She stepped forward, trailing her long skirt, and said, "Officer Rovi... Elders of the Senate, I have asked you to deliver this letter."

Rovi took the letter from her hand and opened it after a moment's thought.

He saw a blank sheet of parchment.

Boudica saw it too. "What does this mean?"

They did not agree.

They did not refuse.

"Is the Senate protesting through nonviolent non-cooperation?" Rovi crumpled the parchment in his hand and said, "It seems those old men are quite dissatisfied with us!"

He was not surprised by the reaction of the elders, after all, he had once led the affairs of a country in Uruk during the Mesopotamian period, and although the structure was primitive at that time, it already had a basic framework.

Therefore, he was well aware that within a large political framework, there must exist small political groups, and a powerful supreme ruler was never a problem for these small groups.

If it weren't for the fact that gods still existed in the Roman Empire, these people would probably have been willing to use all sorts of special means to achieve their goals.

Even though the gods protected Augustus, they would still protest against the supreme emperor in various ways.

Non-violence, non-cooperation.

They neither resisted nor did they do anything.

"Your Majesty, is there trouble?"

Martha's emerald green eyes held a questioning look. "Do you need our help?"

"It's not a big problem, just a few obstacles." Rovi looked at Boudica: "Your conferment ceremony will probably have to be postponed a little."

"Eh... cough, is that so?" Boudica momentarily lost her composure, then quickly regained it and composed herself. Seemingly to maintain her dignified image as a warrior, she straightened her expression but still couldn't help asking, "Will it take a long time?"

"It won't take too long."

Rovi snapped his fingers and said, "If they don't do their job, then we have to find a substitute."

It is a substitute or alternative.

People are always swayed by various interests.

Living in this world inevitably involves various grudges and entanglements.

Since that's the case.

Since it's hard to get rid of.

So... why not just ask someone who isn't there for help?

"What do you think, Melly?"

"Hey, you beat me up and now you want my help?"

"You can also choose not to help."

"Knowing full well that I can't help myself... in some ways, they are even worse than me."

"So you know you're a bad person after all?"

"That's natural. I only learned about the concept of 'evil' from humans. They're just creatures that die as illusoryly as birds..."

The voices of the conversation echoed within the interlayer of the Sea of Stars, and within Avalon.

With her silver hair flowing freely, Nightmare opened her eyes.

She swung her legs, which were covered in black stockings, and slowly got up.

After being struck by ' Merlin ', she immediately fell back into Avalon, not because of Merlin's power, but because of Rovi.

Rovi needs her to return to Avalon.

He needs her presence to find more help for him.

" Within the Sea of Stars, there exists a realm inhabited by fairies."

"It is a 'paradise'."

"Only pure fairy spirits can reach the fairy world."

"I can help you find enough helpers, and I hope you can let me see an interesting and exciting story."

"This story is sure to be exciting."

In the Roman Court, Rovi remained expressionless, conveying his voice solely through consciousness.

This story

It will allow nightmares to see the shining points of humanity.

That's what Rovi thinks.

And so confident.

So Melly chuckled and turned to play in the deepest part of Avalon, on the inner side of the Sea of Stars, in what is known as "Paradise".

"The new emperor is a tyrannical ruler."

"What she has done may destroy the great Rome."

"Great Mars, Noble Jupiter, Supreme and Holy Mars, our ancestor, Quirinus!"

"We hope you will save Rome and make that emperor extinguish her flames!"

In the Pantheon, someone was praying in this way.

The Roman senators did not only have nonviolent non-cooperation as their sole strategy. After Nero openly announced his 'policy,' the senators became even more determined to give this unbridled new emperor a warning.

So after sending that blank letter, they came here in person to pray to the Roman gods in the heavens.

Or rather... it's a complaint.

Augustus was chosen by Mars, one of the three highest gods.

To truly shake its status and authority, it is often only possible by relying on the power of the deity itself.

The elders resolved to transform Nero's actions into the swords of their own righteousness.

Little did they know that the heavenly god was always watching over the earth.

Above the Pantheon.

Mars, God of War, the Mechanical Body, stands shoulder to shoulder with Jupiter, the King of the Gods, just like the Azure Lion Elder.

"I never imagined they would do something so outrageous..."

"That northern heretical sect, is it actually a sect that follows my father's sect?"

"Mars, why do I sense that you seem rather pleased?"

"Of course, if my father says so, I can go and ask for a position... cough, thinking about advancement and retreat is also a kind of military strategy, no need to worry about it."

"I think I need to pay attention to this."

Jupiter sighed and said, "But they have indeed been somewhat reckless in their actions."

"So?"

"So... we can only send that person to find him."

"Who?"

"Athena." Jupiter stroked his long, white beard as he stood high in the sky, gazing at the elders of the Pantheon.

He said, "Athena is a member of the Roman pantheon, and she also has a place among the Roman gods, but she has never cared about it because her own power is enough to rival that of the entire Roman pantheon."

"Only this Esteemed Sage is qualified to have her descend."

Mars paused for a moment. Once, Ares and Athena were mortal enemies. Now, he was Mars, and the memories of that time remained. He still harbored resentment towards Athena.

However, Mars also knew that having Athena negotiate with Rovi was the best course of action.

"Athena has adopted the alias Minerva Einzbern."

"She appeared in the ancient city of He."

"Past, present, and future are all her eternal possessions, the city of Athens."

The sound of the wind whistling echoed.

A figure dressed in a plain white robe, with silver hair and red eyes, slowly opened its eyes amidst countless buildings.
