"Two years ago, at Miss Cecilia's birthday party, I was arranged to be near the Grand Duke's mansion."
"I see……"
Yuri nodded, thinking that he probably made it up on the spot.
"Alright. Just state my request. Clear the Prosperity Square area within two hours."
Yuri said, “Then set up your men there.”
"This... your request is somewhat difficult and beyond our capabilities."
The man looked troubled: "If we had given them at least a day's notice, maybe we could have..."
"Do you usually talk to Rosalia like this?"
Yuri interrupted him impatiently.
Facing the man's surprised gaze, the black-haired boy smiled slyly and said, "Guess what my relationship with His Highness is now?"
"...!"
Yuri's flippant remark startled everyone present, making them widen their eyes in surprise.
They looked at the boy with a childlike face in disbelief.
Euryphus had regular features, a tall and slender figure, and even his fingers were very long.
This body, not yet fifteen years old and still in its developmental stage, is young and healthy, seemingly brimming with boundless, unrestrained energy...
The man in front of the counter held his breath and bent down.
"I understand, I will do my best to do it."
Yuri nodded in satisfaction, said "Thank you for your help," and put the star coin back into his coat pocket.
Staying here would only delay other people's work, so he left the stunned crowd in the chamber of commerce and turned to walk towards the door.
“I think you all understand that no one should know that Euryphus was here today.”
As the boy walked out the door, a series of low, unified responses came from behind him.
"...As you wish, my lord."
014 Oh my god, that's totally me!
Time returns to the present.
After a few seconds of absolute silence, as if time had stopped, Prosperity Square returned to normal.
Everyone withdrew their gaze from Stella and then dispersed in an orderly fashion, as if the surreal scene from just moments ago had never happened.
The silver-haired girl held her breath, her gaze sweeping across the empty and desolate Prosperity Square.
In less than three minutes, only she and the prophesied child remained in the vast square.
"..."
The impromptu street magic performance just now made Stella much more well-behaved.
The girl retracted her crossed legs and sat up straight, her obedient demeanor a stark contrast to her rebellious self just moments before.
Stella pursed her lips hesitantly, and after a long pause, she finally spoke, "You...you also have your own power base in the Lower City...?"
I still prefer your initial rebellious self, Miss Stella.
Yuri said calmly, "They're just buddies in the underworld, don't take them to heart."
"I see." Stella lowered her head thoughtfully.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Yuri suddenly said.
"what?"
"You're thinking about how to please me, or rather, how to gain my sympathy."
Why would I have to do something like that!?
Stella shouted loudly, then immediately covered her mouth in embarrassment.
The boy said, "Miss Stella, you're looking for your missing family members, right? My friends should be able to help you."
Yuri's "magic show" wasn't actually meant to threaten Stella.
This rebellious girl's personality makes it impossible for her to succumb to power.
Yuri was showing Stella that he had everything she craved—power, connections, and an intelligence network.
"..."
On the other hand, Stella wasn't too surprised that Yuri had found out about her target. After all, she had been gathering information for the past six months, so it must have reached Yuri's ears.
However, the truth is slightly different; Yuri knows the situation because of the game.
Stella, who kidnapped Euryphus in the future, is actually a boss in the game.
Despite their different backgrounds, Yuri and Stella share similar character arcs—
They were all originally kind-hearted, but due to various changes, they turned evil and became villainous bosses who were enemies of the players.
If there's anything slightly different, it's that—
Euryphus (who has turned to the dark side) proclaims righteously, "I will correct the world's mistakes!", but what he truly desires is to destroy everything.
Although Stella (who has turned evil) keeps shouting "Idiot! Die!", she still retains a last shred of goodness and justice in her heart.
She didn't actually fall into evil ways; she was simply trying to make the world a better place in her own way.
However, Yuri and Stella were not much different in the end; they both became cold, lifeless corpses.
wrong.
Teacher Dafei's body was indeed cold, but Stella was hot; she was charred.
Incidentally, Stella has a small role in the game but is perfectly portrayed, which makes her incredibly popular, and there have always been calls for her to be resurrected and added to the gacha pool.
Before each version update, several insiders would pop up on the forums claiming that Stella would be implemented in the next version, and they would guarantee it.
Unfortunately, Lauder did not win the resurrection match until Yuri traveled through time.
Lauder's importance in the main storyline is far less than that of Teacher Dafei, but as a boss, her strength is many levels greater than that of the fake saint.
In fact, Euryphus Falción, as the main villain who drives the plot, is still just a minor character even after his fall from grace.
In the main storyline, there is another heavyweight character who beats up the player in combat and serves as the "final boss of the Papacy chapter".
Stella, on the other hand, is a true dungeon boss, possessing the strength and potential to match.
That's why Yuri went to such lengths to set up this trap for her—
"Hehehe... Holy Son, as expected of you, you saw right through my thoughts... So, so amazing."
Stella clasped her hands between her chubby thighs and said softly, "I'm sorry, I was too loud just now. Please don't mind."
Yuri: "I know your background, so you don't need to pretend to be innocent in front of me."
Stella: "Hey~ I don't understand what you're saying?"
Yuri: "Don't pinch your voice either, it's disgusting."
"whispering sound……!"
Stella reverted to her original attitude, resting her chin on her hand, sullenly throwing feed at the gray pigeons.
"Ugh, that's enough... I give up, I give up, okay?"
Lord Euryphus, I have come to realize that I am merely a monkey dancing in the palm of your hand.
So stop keeping me in suspense. After all this trouble, are you trying to make me your star slave?
"You prefer toying with commoner girls from the lower town to opening silver handkerchiefs with aristocratic heiresses? You certainly have good taste!"
Ignoring her vulgar taunts, Yuri said, "I want you to be my teacher and teach me magic."
The silver-haired girl slowly turned her face, staring at the boy's face with a puzzled expression.
Magicians are a very rare resource in the Holy City, and Stella often receives commissions from important figures because of her status as a magician.
Those nobles who claimed magic was heretical and preached piety to the church actually relied on magic quite a bit in private.
However, when Stella was handling those commissions, she usually contacted the lackeys of important figures. This was the first time that such an important figure as the Holy Son had come to her door in person.
Yuri frankly stated, "Due to my position, I cannot receive formal magical education at the Vatican."
After all, the Papal Court viewed magic as a heretical and chaotic force contrary to the faith in the goddess.
Stella raised an eyebrow: "Oh? You don't think so? Isn't magic heresy?"
"Of course I think so!"
The Son suddenly became passionate and fervent.
"I was taught from a young age that magic is an extremely evil and chaotic force! Only the divine power of the goddess is the sublime power that creates the world and maintains order!"
Stella clicked her tongue in annoyance, but then heard him continue his sincere confession.
"Since it is such an evil and terrifying chaotic power, then I shall bear it."
I am the chosen one of prophecy, and I am willing to do anything to save the world, therefore—
I don't mind becoming a heretic, even if it means tainting myself with chaos!
"........."
The silver-haired girl stood frozen in shock, her lips slightly parted.
What's going on...? What this kid just said sounded kind of cool!?
Stella was deeply stirred by a single sentence from the wicked Holy Son.
"..."
After finishing his speech, Yuri glanced at Stella and gave himself a 9 out of 10 for his performance.
—In fact, Stella is a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
Her various behaviors in the game's storyline are typical manifestations of late-stage chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).
Despite yearning for justice, they remained unwilling to admit it.
