You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Huh? Yuri... is that you?"

Cecilia was taken aback.

In the girl's memory, Yuri had always been somewhat afraid of her mother.

Whenever Grand Duchess Rosalia appeared, Yuri would always step back to her side and hold her arm tightly.

Moreover, Cecilia also noticed that her mother seemed a little strange when she was looking at the Holy Son.

The pure and innocent young lady knight, of course, could not comprehend what was hidden in those burning eyes...

This was something that Yuri himself had no idea about.

However, he still felt like he was being watched by predators, which is why he felt an instinctive fear of Cecilia's mother.

Now that he has regained his memories of his past life, Euryphus understands the Grand Duchess's thoughts.

"Yuri, what do you plan to say to Mother?" Cecilia asked nervously.

"Of course, we should try to persuade her."

"Why!?"

Cecilia's eyes widened.

The fact that the prophesied son actually took the initiative to persuade the Grand Duchess was something that would have been unthinkable in the past.

This child is clearly so afraid of his mother...

He'd go to such lengths just to keep me by his side?!

While Cecilia was arguing with her mother, Yuri was constantly thinking about how to break the deadlock.

The world of "Perfect World" is filled with fatalism; the protagonist is born to be the protagonist, and the holy child is born to be the holy child.

Once Euryphus's true identity is revealed, he is nothing more than a ridiculous clown.

He grew up as the child of prophecy, amidst great anticipation, yet revealed an utterly mediocre talent.

Some people began to doubt whether the oracle was problematic, but Yuri did not.

Because he knew that anyone could doubt him, but he could not doubt himself.

In order to be worthy of the name of the Holy Son, he put in several times more effort than ordinary people.

Even though the gazes of others were like hell, Yuri silently endured them in order to meet their expectations.

In the end, all his efforts were in vain, and the world was not in Euryphus's hands to save—it was all just wishful thinking on his part!

Euryphalston understood.

Being the child of prophecy does not mean I am obligated to fulfill a mission.

Since the oracle says I am the Holy Son, I will use this privilege for my own purposes from now on.

Do whatever you want!

However, before aiming too high, it's best to first establish a firm foothold.

Cecilia Valentine Augusta, the celestial beauty from The Goddess of Revelation.

As the female protagonist of the Papacy arc, she is not only exceptionally talented and of noble birth, but her mother, Grand Duchess Rosalia, is also of great importance.

If I could persuade Cecilia's mother to let her stay by her side, and then slowly train her into a convenient woman who would obey my every command, things would be much easier in the future...

Having said all that, you probably already know what Yuri is planning to do next.

The black-haired boy gave the beautiful female knight in front of him a meaningful look—

That's right, I'm going to start trying to win over Cecilia's mother!

002 The fool himself

Cecilia's mother, Rosalia Valentine Augusta, was the sister of the Emperor of the Augusta Empire.

As a Grand Duchess with vast territories, Princess Rosalia not only enjoys the Emperor's deep trust but also wields considerable influence within the Papacy.

It can be said that she was the woman with the highest status in the empire.

But this woman of such high status had a secret she couldn't tell anyone.

Aside from her glorious identity as the Grand Duchess of the Empire, Rosalia is also a member of a secret society called "The Final Ritual".

"The Final Ritual" is a mysterious society that runs throughout the entire Goddess of Revelation game, and their influence is behind almost every event in the story.

Including the Augusta Empire, the continent's nations unanimously recognized them as an evil and illegal organization, and the Vatican declared them to be the world's enemy who worshipped and practiced apocalyptic doctrines.

The "Final Ritual" consists of a total of 22 members, including an empty seat. Each member is of unknown identity and formidable strength, and they use the Major Arcana of the Tarot as their code name.

Rosalia Augusta is one of those who is given the title of "Empress".

Up to the point in the game's storyline before Yuri's transmigration, Rosalia's identity had not yet been revealed, and she certainly hadn't shown her health bar to the players like the fake Holy Son.

How did Yuri know her identity?

The answer is to see with your eyes.

When Rosalia appears in the game's CG as the "Empress," she always wears a gorgeous ballroom mask.

That's a magical artifact that interferes with cognition; no one can see through the identity behind the mask, but it's useless against players with a natural God's-eye view!

After regaining her memories of her past life, Yuri immediately connected the Grand Duchess Rosalia, whom she knew well, with the "Empress"!

Her face shape, skin tone, hair color, eye color, height, figure, voice, tone of voice, and even her mannerisms—

Yuri can assert that Rosalia is the "Empress".

As the eldest sister of the emperor who reigns supreme in the empire and wields absolute power, she is secretly a member of a hostile and illegal organization.

"Madam, you don't want this either..."

Silently reciting the prepared lines, I took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the reception room.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Rosalia."

Yuri placed his hands on his chest and bowed respectfully.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't be receiving any visitors today... Your Highness?"

The woman on the sofa paused slightly, then put down the book in her hand.

Her long, beautiful golden curls created graceful curves, and the form-fitting evening gown accentuated her impressive bust.

The full lines that meander from the waist to the hips create a voluptuous charm unique to mature women.

She was Cecilia's mother, Rosalia Valentine Augusta.

Her enduring beauty and figure make her look like she's still under thirty; if she stood next to her daughter, they would look like sisters.

Yuri's suspicions were confirmed: she was indeed the "Empress".

When he walked to the sofa, Rosalia immediately gestured for him to sit down: "Your Holiness, what brings you here?"

"Cecilia dragged me here, and I thought I'd come and say hello to you."

In the game, the "Empress's" beautiful purple eyes seem to be able to see through all lies, so Yuri speaks very cautiously.

"Hehe, since Your Highness has come to visit my residence, why didn't you tell me? That way I could have personally come out to greet you."

Yuri smiled slightly: "I'm worried it will turn out like before... You took me to the dormitory when Cecilia wasn't paying attention, and suddenly started taking off my clothes."

"..."

Rosalia's cheeks flushed, and she coughed lightly: "I just wanted to admire what the Holy Son would look like in women's clothing. If you don't want that, I'll be more careful in the future."

What's going on with the Holy Son today?

She thought to herself, "Little Yuri can actually have a fluent conversation with me now?"

Normally, Euryphus wouldn't even have the courage to look her in the eye; he would just hide behind his daughter.

"Um... Your Highness, can't Cecilia stay at Lily Cross?"

Yuri realized his attitude was inappropriate, so he deliberately feigned weakness and asked in a timid tone. Rosalia nodded seriously after that.

"Please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty."

My decision to have Cecilia leave the Knights was not to part ways with you; it was merely an internal plan within the Valentine family.

No matter what happens in the future, Cecilia and I will fully support His Highness the Holy Son.

"Excuse my rudeness, but Princess Cecilia's opinion is..."

"Whatever the child's opinion is, it's fine."

Rosalia said somewhat coldly.

"Since she was born into this world as a member of the Augusta royal family, she should prioritize her royal duties. I hope she can understand this principle soon."

Yuri nodded and said, "I completely understand how you feel."

The Grand Duchess spoke with considerable humility, yet her pupils held an undeniable, absolute will.

Although Rosalia appeared pampered and her figure was anything but amorous, Yuri knew very well what an unfathomable woman she was.

The boy frowned slightly: "His attitude is very firm. No wonder Cecilia failed to persuade him."

Rosalia's sudden decision to sever ties with her daughter, a decision usually made with composure, made him suspect a deeper, more complex situation.

Yuri silently looked at the beautiful Grand Duchess, whose legs, hidden under her long skirt, were crossed, revealing their firm and rounded curves even through the fabric.

Well, if you won't let me hug your daughter's leg, then I'll have to hug your leg!

before this--

"This woman really doesn't even look at me," Yuri thought to himself.

After all, Yuri was practically raised under the Grand Duchess's watchful eye, so she knew her level very well.

The boy decided to first dampen her spirits and make her abandon her arrogant attitude.

However, how can one possibly contend with the strongest opponent who cannot lie or hide anything?

In Rosalia's eyes, Yuri must still be that indecisive, easily manipulated little brat.

This is precisely his greatest weapon at present.

"Your Highness, would you mind playing a game of chess with me?"
