You think you're worthy of saving the world?

A week later.

A social gathering was held at the Valentine family estate in the Papal City.

The reason is that the secret visit of the Elf Queen Celestia and her daughter to the Papacy was eventually exposed.

In order to quell the various rumors that were gradually spreading, Rosalia decided to hold a joint banquet with Celestia to make their stance clear.

The two women's close friendship is well-known, so this banquet is seen as a signal that the Augusta Empire and the Holy Tree Kingdom will deepen their cooperation and exchanges in the future.

Unfortunately, Yuri was also invited to participate.

Generally speaking, children of prophecy who are not yet of age are not allowed to participate in any form of political activity.

However, one of the parties hosting this party was the Elf Queen.

Because of the complex relationship between the Child of Prophecy and the Kingdom of the Sacred Tree, even the Papal Court could not refuse the invitation to this event.

Over the weekend, Yuri received a notification from the Twelve Holy Sees that he was permitted to attend a party hosted by Rosalia.

I really don't want to go...

Yuri sighed, feeling that Rosa and Celeste were hiding something from him.

A few nights ago, Yuri climbed over the wall and entered the Grand Duke's residence.

Hmph, it's laughable that the security at the residence of a queen is so lax...

"I do not want to go."

Yuri, who had been captured and tied up by Miss Betty, the captain of the manor's guards, and thrown in front of Rosalia, made this statement.

"Don't be willful," the Grand Duchess said impatiently.

"Lord Yuri, there are many delicious things to eat at the banquet," the Elf Queen said, comforting him as she untied him.

"I'm quite troubled by your unauthorized decisions, Your Highness."

Yuri's strategy was to keep a low profile, quietly amass wealth, and not want to become the center of attention too early.

Rosalia rolled her eyes and said, "There have been a lot of bad rumors about you in the Vatican lately, and I can't stand them anymore."

Just as Yuri was about to retort, she continued.

"Besides, you're planning to study abroad next, right? This is a gathering in Augusta, an opportunity for everyone to get to know you again."

Yuri was taken aback.

He never expected Rosalia to be so considerate of him.

After all, that person seemed to care only about his own career and genuinely intended to keep Yuri as a kept man.

"I thought Your Highness was planning to provoke the Papal Court, that 'the Child of Prophecy and I are very close.'"

“That’s also a consideration,” Rosalia said with a stunningly beautiful smile.

Yuri: "..."

"What's the answer?"

"Yes, I'll participate."

"Hehe, that's more like it."

The Grand Duchess approached Yuri, cupped his cheeks, and kissed him passionately.

"Oh my... Rosa is so bold!"

Celestia covered her flushed cheeks and peeked through her fingers at the two's intimate actions.

"Let...let them give me a kiss too?"

"No."

Rosalia wiped her mouth and replied with a smile, "Celes and Yuri should have a healthy relationship, and I'll take care of the Holy Son's sexual desires?"

"Speaking of which... what exactly is the gift?"

That night, Rosalia also made a meaningful remark:

Should we give Yuri a gift to repay him for his contributions in the Singularity?

Yuri muttered to himself as he added water to the water trough in the birdcage.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Could it be... that Aunt Rosa is pregnant with my child!?"

Yuri swallowed hard.

"Then, she's going to announce this at the banquet in front of dozens of nobles and Cecilia!!"

"Chirp? Chirp chirp chirp! (What? That woman actually... Ugh, I'm so envious...)"

The owner's mutterings made the little bird's feathers tremble, and it let out a protesting cry.

"No, Aunt Rosa wouldn't do such a thing..."

……

……

……

The day of the banquet arrived.

Early in the morning, the robin was making a lot of noise in its cage.

Yuri, in a bad mood, cast a "Tranquility" spell on it, and the bedroom returned to peace.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the Valentine's carriage arrived at Yuri's door.

"Yuri, I've come to pick you up."

Sitting in the carriage was Cecilia, the daughter of the Grand Duchess.

She wasn't wearing a knight's uniform or carrying a sword today; instead, she was wearing a light blue evening gown.

Her gorgeous blonde hair and fair skin shone brightly in the sunlight; her perfect beauty was flawless, like a creation of the gods.

Although she is still in the early stages of becoming a mature woman, she already possesses a voluptuous figure that rivals her mother's.

Yuri was pulled by Cecilia onto the carriage.

After a bumpy ride of more than twenty minutes, we arrived at the Grand Duke's residence.

Even before stepping through the gate, one can feel an atmosphere that is far grander and more lively than usual.

From the entrance to the courtyard, everyone was dressed in magnificent attire.

Some of them were people Yuri knew by name, but most were complete strangers to him—they were all from the Valentine faction, or imperial nobles who wanted to curry favor with the Grand Duchess.

It was only at this moment that Yuri realized for the first time just how powerful Rosalia truly was.

"Oh dear, isn't this the Child of Prophecy? I've heard the rumors about Lord Yuri too."

"Oh my, after all, he is the Holy Son... to become No. 2 of St. Cromwell in just one month, he truly lives up to his reputation."

"I really hope my good-for-nothing son can learn from you."

"I always felt that the Child of Prophecy was hiding something within him. He truly deserves to be called the Savior!"

The two strangers surrounded them, chattering incessantly.

As Rosalia said, Yuri's reputation as a genius had unknowingly spread throughout the entire Papacy.

More importantly, there were overtures from the Augusta Empire and the Holy Tree Kingdom.

Since the banquet invited the Son of Prophecy, it means that the Grand Duchess and the Queen, even at the risk of offending the Papal Court, hope to maintain a good relationship with him.

For the nobles who were vassals of the Grand Duchess, Yuri was certainly someone worth currying favor with.

"Your Highness Cecilia has excellent taste; the two of you are a perfect match."

“My daughter has also received care from both of them.”

"Is it too late to join the Lily Cross now? My daughter has actually been interested in this for a while, haha..."

Unlike Yuri, who was attending such a large social gathering for the first time, Cecilia responded to the adults' greetings with great composure.

After finally breaking through the first wave of entanglement, Yuri and Cecilia arrived at the venue building.

"Yuri, could it be... you're nervous?"

Cecilia held the Child of Prophecy's hand and suddenly asked a question.

Although Princess "Sword Princess" is usually carefree, she can be exceptionally perceptive at times.

"I thought Yuri had gotten used to this kind of occasion recently. I'm sorry... I should have protested to Mother earlier."

If it were Yuri three months ago, she would definitely have been terrified by such an occasion.

But recently, this childhood sweetheart has changed.

It was as if he had become a different person, both confident and charismatic, so Cecilia thought it would be fine for Yuri to attend the party.

"Hmm? Actually, no..."

Yuri's nervousness stemmed less from the atmosphere of the venue and more from a lack of confidence.

He had no idea what Rosalia and Celeste were up to today.

Euryphus Falción.

"Rosalia Valentine Augusta".

"And Celestia Yugraksil..."

"The three of us are officially dating!!!"

"From now on, Rosa and I will aim to become Lord Yuri's partners, working together and supporting each other, serving him diligently as wives."

Please also supervise and support us!

Please, please, don't make it an official announcement! I'm prepared to become the enemy of all men in the world...

Yuri's lips twitched as she stepped into the venue.

The banquet was held in a spacious indoor area of ​​over a thousand square meters.
