You think you're worthy of saving the world?

“I didn’t spoil the fun,” Yuri quickly replied.

"Woo..."

Rosalia bit her lip.

I never expected Cecilia to be so quick-witted.

This child, who used to be able to be easily defeated by me with just a few words.

Is this also the power of love?

"Yuri, do you know?"

Cecilia then brought up the next topic that everyone had prepared for her.

"You know Izzat and Phyllis, right? They're in the same year as you, and they're dating."

"Really?" Yuri was taken aback.

“Really, really, I heard it from Safia and the others. You can’t tell at all, can you?” Cecilia said excitedly.

Yuri nodded honestly.

Rosalia frowned slightly and interjected, "Phyllis, could she be the daughter of the Tyrell family?"

"Yes, the daughter of the Earl of Tilly."

"What about the other Izzat? I've never heard of that name before," the Grand Duchess asked curiously.

“Izzat is a knight of the Earl of Tilit. He entered the academy as a guard along with Phyllis.”

"Isn't that just a household servant?"

Rosalia rolled her eyes in displeasure: "The Earl's eldest daughter and the family's knight... I don't think Earl Tyrell would allow their relationship to exist."

"I never expected my mother to be so conservative in her views."

Cecilia muttered something.

"Varied……"

With a hopeful expression, she continued, "I support Phyllis and Izzat, even if their parents don't understand... but they should be in charge of their own love life, that's true free love."

Then, Cecilia looked past Yuri and stared meaningfully at Rosalia's beautiful face.

"Mother, don't you think it's going too far for parents to interfere in their children's relationships?"

"........."

Rosalia finally understood what Cecilia wanted to say.

"Free love, what an old phrase that makes me nostalgic..."

Rosalia raised an eyebrow: "It is said that more than 10,000 years ago, when Emperor Julius, the founder of the empire, was still alive, it was very popular within the empire."

The world was once lost in the darkness of class stratification and stagnant development, but it was revived in modern times due to the liberation of thought...

"I actually really like the concept of free love, you know?"

Rosalia gave a seductive smile.

"Since it's a matter of free love, then the reverse is also true; children shouldn't interfere with their mother's love life... You agree, Cecilia?"

Cecilia responded with a bright smile: "Mother is right."

"Hehehehe..."

"Hehehehe..."

The mother and daughter sneered incessantly, separated by the black-haired boy.

Amidst their forced smiles, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, making Yuri's scalp tingle.

"You two, is there anything you'd like to eat? It's on me!"

"Huh? Yuri's treating?"

Cecilia smiled at first, then asked with concern, "Are you sure you have enough money for living expenses?"

"Yeah, I made a little money doing tasks before."

"I want to eat crepes."

Rosalia naturally linked her arm with Yuri's: "I've never eaten this kind of Alsatian specialty food before, can you buy some for me?"

Just as Yuri was about to say yes, her other arm sank deep into the soft valley.

“Mother, you don’t need to force yourself to follow the trends of young girls in front of Yuri. Just eat some chestnut cake as usual.”

"Hehehe, Cecilia, what are you talking about? I've always been young, haven't I? But you, look over there, there's your favorite roasted sweet potato stall!"

"I, I would never eat roasted sweet potatoes on the street!" Cecilia shouted, her face flushed. "Yuri! I want a crepe too!"

"Yes……"

Caught between two attacks, Yuri walked toward the roadside pastry shop amidst the verbal sparring between the mother and daughter.

Yuri ordered chocolate crepes, while Cecilia and Rosalia had the classic strawberry cream flavor.

"You're quite the lucky guest, bringing two sisters out on a date."

During the production process, the shop assistant struck up a conversation with the prophesied child, who was surrounded by women on both sides.

“Do we look like sisters?” Cecilia asked curiously.

The shop assistant sized up the two blonde beauties and asked, "Aren't you two sisters?"

Two stunningly beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right, look remarkably alike. Rosalia is also so young; it's no surprise they would be mistaken for sisters.

"Well……"

Cecilia hesitated, unsure how to answer.

Although she was more excited and aggressive than usual today, Cecilia still deeply respected her mother and was very proud of her.

She was actually very happy to be treated like a sister by the shop assistant.

It suggests that strangers perceive them as sharing the same bloodline as their mother, but admitting it would be too disrespectful...

“I’m the older sister.” Rosalia puffed out her proud chest.

"...!"

Cecilia was about to say something when the Grand Duchess raised a finger to signal for silence.

"Oh, they really are sisters! I'm so envious." Yuri felt the admiring look from the shop assistant.

Rosalia gave a calm and elegant smile, then tugged at the arm of the boy beside her.

"Hehe, you're right. But this child is completely oblivious to how lucky he is!"

Sigh... Yuri sighed helplessly.

"Hey, why are you sighing when someone's talking?"

Rosalia tied a knot between her brows, and even her unhappy expression was beautiful and captivating.

The dessert shop staff watched the three of them curiously, and Rosalia raised her eyes.

Is it strange that two sisters share a lover?

He paused for a moment, then honestly shook his head: "No, no... In this day and age, this kind of thing is very common, haha."

Then, the shop assistant lowered her voice and asked quietly, "So you've already decided who will be the legal wife?"

The Heavenly Principle Sect adheres to a monogamous system, stipulating that no one, regardless of whether they are royalty, noble, or commoner, can marry only one wife, and taking concubines is strictly prohibited.

Across the strait in Albion, the Congregational Protestants practice polygamy, but the Catholic Church does not recognize their doctrines.

That being said, it doesn't mean that the nobles of the Diamate continent would obediently uphold chastity—they openly have affairs and lovers.

Therefore, in the shop assistant's view, only one of the Valentine "sisters" could become Yuri's wife.

The other woman was merely a mistress, and the child she bore was an illegitimate child without inheritance rights. This situation was very common in the aristocratic circles of mainland China.

"It's already been agreed upon."

Rosalia took the crepe from the clerk and stared at the strawberry on it.

“I am the mistress, and my sister will become the legal wife.”

"!"

Not only the shop assistants, but also Yuri and Cecilia looked at her in surprise.

"Mother..." the blonde knight murmured.

"What's wrong? That's what we agreed on back then, right?" Rosalia smirked mischievously.

"Ah...um..."

Cecilia nodded blankly.

The girl's feelings were complicated for some reason.

Cecilia was only thinking about "her own" affairs from beginning to end, but her mother... was actually always thinking about "us".

If I weren't her daughter, I would never have been able to win against her.

Cecilia is Rosalia's biological daughter, which is why she can do whatever she wants because of Rosalia's affection.

"You're right, sister... sister, thank you."

"Hehehe, don't be so polite, I like you and Yuri the most..."

Rosalia smiled and handed the crepe to her daughter: "Here, have a bite."

"Oh my, what a touching display of sisterly love!"

Looking at the delightful and touching scene before them, the shop assistants spoke excitedly, their admiration for Yuri, who was sandwiched between them, growing even stronger.

After all, the fact that the older sister was willing to make such a sacrifice not only reflects the deep bond between the sisters, but also shows that her husband has done a good job of training her.
