You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Annabelle lifted her forehead off the ground, tilted her neck forward, kissed Yuri's feet, and then raised her dazed, flushed face.

“Master…I have a request.”

"Tell me about it?" Yuri tilted his head.

Annabelle swallowed hard and said softly, "I hope that I can be like Eileen, serving you as a slave bound to you by a contract."

Yuri tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Let me think about this some more."

"...!"

Annabelle's pleading eyes wavered instantly: Sure enough, her previous actions had left a bad impression on her master... Did he not want to accept me?

For Yuri, bringing Annabelle under his control was his original goal.

In the game's storyline, Annabelle is Euryph's most loyal subordinate, and he doesn't want to give her up.

However, I should still be a little reserved here, otherwise it will seem like I'm too easy to talk to.

Yuri continued, "I'll give you an answer after this week of observation is over."

Annabelle nodded with great joy upon hearing this: "Yes, Master! During my internship... I will do my best!"

As she nodded, the two enormous cones exposed to the night swayed violently back and forth.

"I'm hungry. Anna, get me some late-night snacks."

The prophet turned his gaze away and said.

"Yes, Master."

Annabelle grabbed the folded underwear and maid outfit that were neatly placed on the floor.

After quickly getting dressed, the purple-haired maid left Yuri's room with light, joyful steps.

Yuri didn't take Annabelle and Irene in simply to have them do housework for her.

Serving a maid in bed is her duty, but now is not the time.

Wait until Annabelle's internship ends in a week...

What Yuri is looking forward to even more now is his date with Princess Rosalia on Saturday.

……

……

……

"Yuri!"

During lunch break that day, while Yuri was eating in the school cafeteria, Cecilia approached him.

"what……"

Cecilia noticed the silver-haired pretty boy sitting opposite Yuri.

"Hello, Cecilia-senpai."

"Hello, Camus."

“You two chat, I’ve finished eating,” Camus said.

"Ah, okay... I'm sorry, Camus."

She tactfully picked up her tray, said "Yuri, I'm going back to the classroom now," and turned to leave.

Cecilia did not refuse and sat down opposite Yuri.

For some reason, she seemed more energetic than usual today, and there was something strange about her.

The duke's daughter murmured as she watched the silver-haired boy's retreating figure, "Camus must be very popular with the boys."

"He's popular with girls... uh!"

In that instant, Yuri realized the source of the strange feeling that had arisen in his mind—

Cecilia wore light makeup and a little perfume today.

The most beautiful girl in the Vatican, with a faint blush on her face, exudes the aura of a high school girl going on a date with her boyfriend.

incredible!

Yuri found it hard to believe that the "Sword Princess" would actually spend time on dressing up.

Although she is Rosalia's daughter, she should have absolutely no interest in this matter.

Whether it's makeup and dressing up, or romantic relationships, these are worlds that should be outside of her reach.

What Camus looks like, whether she'll be popular—Cecilia shouldn't be interested in such mundane matters.

Cecilia began to pay attention to her own appearance and that of the people around her.

Yuri seemed to understand why Annabelle had gone from being a fan to a hater.

If Cecilia were to tell Yuri, "Yuri! I've found a boyfriend!", Yuri would probably instantly turn evil and want to destroy the world.

"Yuri?"

"Oh, sorry, I was spacing out... What's up?"

"The Lily Cross group activity for this month has been scheduled."

Cecilia tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder and said with a bright smile, "Let's all go camping and have a barbecue in the countryside this weekend at noon."

The Lily Cross Knights organize a group activity every month, usually planned by the three vice-masters.

This should be the second to last time they were close to disbanding.

"weekend……"

This word triggered Yuri's keyword.

"What day of the week exactly?" he asked.

"We're meeting at nine o'clock this Saturday morning. Yuri, are you free that day?" Cecilia asked with a smile.

"..."

This Saturday.

Yuri had already made plans with Rosalia to spend the whole day with her.

Seeing Yuri's troubled expression, Cecilia frowned slightly and asked, "Did you have something to do that day?"

"Well."

Yuri nodded ambiguously.

Cecilia was not discouraged: "How about Sunday? I'll go and talk to everyone and coordinate the time."

"Sunday morning should be————"

Just as Yuri was about to agree, he suddenly bumped into a hard object in his back pocket.

Those were the strategic supplies he had asked Eileen to prepare for him last night, supplies he would need on Saturday night.

It was a bottle of contraceptive pills.

He and Rosalia had agreed that neither of them would go back on Saturday night.

It's going to be a fierce battle that lasts all night... so it's necessary to be prepared.

In that case, wouldn't it be better to include the time spent with His Highness from Sunday morning to noon?

The next morning, just as dawn broke and before the woman was even fully awake, the man pulled up his pants and went to play with young girls... This just doesn't make sense.

Yuri herself wanted to snuggle in Aunt Rosa's arms for a while in the morning.

"Sorry... I'm also unavailable on Sunday."

Yuri took a breath, suppressing his excitement, and said seriously, "I have things to do this weekend."

His reply surprised Cecilia greatly.

"Is something wrong?"

Cecilia frowned suspiciously, staring at Yuri's face.

"Can't you think of a way to decline it over there?"

Cecilia would never normally make such a capricious and unreasonable request to cancel everything else for the Knights' gathering; she's definitely acting strangely today.

However, considering that this might be Yuri's last memory, it's not impossible to understand her feelings.

But I'm sorry, Cecilia...

My heart has already been stolen by your mother.

"I can't refuse; it's a very important matter," Yuri said resolutely.

"That's it..."

"Yes, I'm sorry, but I'm also really looking forward to having dinner with everyone."

Yuri quickly forced a smile and gripped Cecilia's hand tightly: "Please convey my message to everyone."

"Oh……"

Her eyes flickered noticeably.

I can't breathe.

Cecilia opened her mouth again, but could only make a breathy sound.

Emotions that could not be expressed in words slipped from her soft palms and scattered all over the ground.

Yuri knew exactly how to salvage the situation, yet he remained motionless, essentially unable to move.

"...Are you really unable to find the time?"

Cecilia pressed on, her tone sounding somewhat reproachful towards Yuri.

"Didn't I say I was busy?"

Yuri looked away.

The guilt he felt towards the girl manifested as a feeling of irritability.
