You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Lord Yuri, I wish to have you become my personal knight..."

The Queen said pitifully.

"I was so scared... because of this kidnapping, I feel like I'm traumatized... but seeing your face makes me feel so safe..."

Seeing the boy hesitate, the Elf Queen added.

"I...I might not be able to sleep tonight...Yuri-sama, please stay with me...Um, we can sleep together tonight too..."

"I'm sorry, Celeste, I have my own mission... I am the prophesied child who has been given a destiny by the Holy Tree."

The black-haired boy spoke with a resolute expression, then suddenly changed the subject.

"But... if it's your request, Celeste, then there's nothing I can do."

"My Queen, if you are willing to wait, I will go to the Sacred Tree Royal Court to stay with you after I have fulfilled my prophecy."

The Elf Queen, her face flushed, nodded excitedly and frantically: "I'll wait! I'll wait forever! Lord Yuri, do you like it? Do you like it the most?"

"Why not just give up being a knight and become the king of the Holy Tree Kingdom?"

……

Celestia looked dazed, imagining herself being carried in a princess carry by a black-haired boy (with Princess Rosalia in the background, tears welling in her eyes and biting her handkerchief).

"Perfect……!"

The Elf Queen clenched her fists.

An evil plan was born from her large, voluptuous breasts.

"……???"

164 Yuri died in the Grand Duchess's bed!?

In the morning, Rosalia got up from her large bed with its luxurious canopy, put on a thin nightgown, and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

As usual, Yuri was reluctant to get out of bed.

Whenever he stayed overnight at my place, he was always reluctant to get out of bed.

At first, Rosalia thought it was because Yuri slept so well, but she only recently realized that wasn't the case.

It seems he actually wanted Rosalia to wake him up "personally".

If you want me to do that, just say so!

As a result, he would lie in bed pretending to be asleep until Rosalia did it for him; what a cocky little brat.

Although he was definitely a little kid to begin with.

Oh well... I love him deeply for even this one thing. I'll go and "wake him up" later.

Rosalia hummed a cheerful tune in the kitchen as she flipped the bacon in the pan.

This morning, the Grand Duchess of the Empire was in a good mood.

On the one hand, it's because I spent an unforgettable and enjoyable night with my beloved lover last night.

On the other hand, it's because I'll soon be able to see a good friend I haven't seen for many years.

Queen Celestia of the Holy Tree Kingdom is both a teacher and a close friend to Rosalia.

Recently, Rosalia and Celestia have both fallen for the same man.

Although she herself didn't say anything, Rosalia couldn't hide it from her eyes—

The "Eternal Queen" Celestia has developed special feelings for Euryphus, and it's likely that her incognito visit to the Papacy this time was partly motivated by a desire to see her beloved.

"But unfortunately, Celeste... little Yuri has already been completely devoured by me, you know?"

Even disregarding Rosalia and Yuri's relationship, Celestia actually didn't have much of a chance.

The reason is that the Child of Prophecy is quite hostile towards elves.

After all, he is——

My entire life has been wantonly toyed with by the great elven chieftain known as the Sacred Tree.

According to Rosalia's analysis, the oracle who spread the prophecy... the sacred tree probably knew from the beginning that Euryphus was not the true savior.

Even so, she did not point out the Vatican's mistake, but instead smiled and quietly observed the situation gradually becoming interesting.

It's no wonder Yuri harbored hatred after being treated so cruelly; if it were Rosalia, she would definitely seek revenge against the Holy Tree Kingdom.

Rosalia thought to herself, "That must be why Yuri was so ruthless to the young Queen (Tia) back in the Nine Star Singularity."

Celestia was completely unaware of this.

She was unaware of what her teacher, the Sacred Tree, had done to Yuri.

Rosalia is probably the only human in the world who knows that Yuri is not the savior.

Thinking of this, the Grand Duchess felt a throbbing in her chest.

She placed the fried eggs and bacon on a plate, carried it to the dining room, and then went into the bedroom.

"Little Yuri, wake up! If you don't get up now, you'll be late for school!"

The duchess used all four limbs to climb into the quilt.

"You're as energetic as ever this morning, you naughty boy... Hah?"

Rosalia kissed him passionately and tenderly, as if he were a lover.

ten minutes later.

"Well……"

Rosalia rubbed her aching chin and cheeks.

They've been serving you so attentively all day, why are they still pretending to be asleep?

Normally, I would have already gotten up and pretended to ask after them long ago...

The Grand Duchess found it strange and looked up at Yuri's face, only to find him ashen-faced.

"Yuri! What's wrong? Cheer up!"

Rosalia rushed over in a panic and shook his shoulder.

"Snapped!"

Seeing no reaction, he slapped the boy's cheek hard again.

Yuri looked pained, whether from the slap or something else, Rosalia leaned toward the latter.

She began frantically using healing magic.

Rosalia was neither a priest nor did she have any medical knowledge, but that did not prevent her from learning all the high-level healing spells.

A sacred white light continuously illuminated the room.

"...Yuri."

He still hasn't woken up, which is clearly abnormal.

Rosalia pursed her lips, quickly jumped off the bed, and took a bottle of potion from the drawer of the desk next to her.

He helped the boy up from the bed by holding his upper body and opened the bottle of the magic potion.

"……Well."

Clear liquid slid down the boy's lips. Rosalia clicked her tongue, then took a sip herself and fed it to him mouth-to-mouth.

Seeing the slight tremor in Yuri's throat as she swallowed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the Grand Duchess fed all the potions to Yuri using the same method as before.

After everything was over, Rosalia gently patted the boy's cheek and hugged him tightly.

What I just fed Yuri wasn't an ordinary potion, but a panacea.

It is considered one of the three ultimate fantasy objects in alchemy, along with the Philosopher's Stone and artificial life forms.

That was the highest level that even Rosalia, the most outstanding alchemist currently existing on the continent, had not yet reached.

Literally, a panacea is a medicine that can cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely, which can be described as the dream of all mortals.

For alchemists, taking the elixir of immortality is undoubtedly a necessary step to ascend to godhood.

In a chance accident during countless alchemical experiments, Rosalia obtained this potion, which was suspected to be the original elixir of immortality.

She had originally planned to use it for further research...

The Grand Duchess stared at the empty bottle.

Although she somewhat regretted her impulsiveness, if she did nothing and something happened to Yuri...

Rosalia thought to herself that she would regret it even more.

but……

I should have sneaked a sip earlier.

"Yuri? Are you feeling better?"

The boy still hasn't woken up.

It seems this is not a problem I can solve myself.

We need to take Yuri to church so a professional pastor can examine him, but...

How can we explain the current situation? Rosalia's mind is somewhat blank due to excessive tension.

Is the prophesied child in the bed of the Imperial Grand Duchess?

No, Yuri's life is more important than his own reputation!

Oh, right... those two women living in Yuri's house now! They're the head teachers at the seminary, they must have relevant first aid knowledge!

Rosalia called Patty and Betty over.

"W-This is... Lord Yuri!?"

The two sisters stared wide-eyed.

"Your Highness, could it be you..."
