You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Principal Joseph told me that he planned to nominate me as the exchange student representative of Academy City at the next faculty meeting.

Of course, this is on the premise that you can achieve excellent or higher scores in the subsequent exams.

"Oh, oh, oh... As expected of you, Master! Congratulations! I will continue to support you at the teachers' meeting!"

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp! (You're amazing, Master!)"

Eileen and the robin looked at each other with ingratiating expressions.

Yuri raised her hand to signal them to be quiet.

"As a result, two different paths have emerged regarding where I should go next."

The first option is to accept only the imperial honorary title and refuse the land grant, remaining in the Papacy and going to Academy City to continue studying in the new academic year...

Either I accept the land as a reward, or... I plan to suspend my studies in St. Cromwell and spend a month managing the land that Princess Rosalia has bestowed upon me, and then return to the Papacy once everything is in order.

Regarding these two different options, I would like to ask for your opinions.

After speaking, Yuri looked around at the four women in the room.

"I want to follow you forever." — These words came from Annabelle.

"Me too! No matter where Yuri goes, I'll be there for her! I've already written my resignation letter!" — These words came from Eileen.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp!" — That's what the robin says.

"As long as I can witness Lord Yuri's exciting performance, it doesn't matter where I am." — This is what Amelod said.

"Ah...? I'm fine with whatever you say~ Can I go back to sleep now?" Stella was last.

Yuri nodded, having basically understood everyone's opinions.

Overall, it's as if everyone's words are meaningless; the final decision still rests with you.

Although it concerns one's own future, it should be a decision one makes for oneself.

……

……

……

The location was the Grand Duchess's carriage.

Yuri and Rosalia sat facing each other and chatted.

"So you accepted the land grant?" The Grand Duchess looked at the Prophet with a half-smile.

“Yes.” Yuri nodded solemnly.

"I knew you would accept it."

Rosalia said with satisfaction, "Then let me congratulate you in advance, little Yuri."

“But it’s really hard to imagine… that they would actually ask me to accept a territory with no heirs. It’s amazing that the old fogies in the Papal Court would agree to that,” Yuri said, frowning.

Yuri already knew in advance that the territory Rosalia intended to grant him was a small enclave of the Empire located near the Papacy.

It was less of a territory and more of a manor with a piece of farmland attached.

Although it's just a few acres, if Yuri accepts it, it means...

In terms of official status, he could be considered a retainer of the emperor.

The Papal Court's control over Yuri was no longer absolute—

In the past, this would have been a condition that the Papal Court would never have accepted under any circumstances.

"You should thank Celeste for this, shouldn't you? It was Celeste who persuaded the Twelve Holy Thrones."

After all, she was attacked on Papal territory, so even with a very firm stance, the Papal Court had no choice but to acquiesce.

Rosalia took a sip of red wine, then glanced at Yuri.

"You don't seem very happy... As expected, you're not interested in worldly things like lordship and titles?"

Yuri shook his head: "No, I am very grateful for what you have done for me."

I don't know how to thank you properly. Is there any way I can repay your kindness?

"Whoosh..."

Rosalia smiled without saying a word.

Then the Grand Duchess got up from her carriage seat, sat down next to Yuri, and leaned over to stroke the boy's cheek.

"It's too polite to say 'repay a debt of gratitude'..."

Celeste and I have only one wish: to become your rightful woman...

This kind of clandestine rendezvous is not enough for me.

So keep up the good work, Yuri…

The Grand Duchess whispered something in the boy's ear.

"One day, no one will have anything to say about our relationship..."

Yuri, you must become that kind of man…

"Aunt Rosa..."

Yuri's chest heaved, and he embraced her soft, boneless waist.

Rosalia gave a seductive smile, and they simply collapsed into their seats.

Seconds later, the carriage began to shake violently and rhythmically...

……

……

……

An hour later, Yuri opened the car door and got out.

Instead of leaving as usual, he went to the front of the carriage.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a young woman in her early twenties with a single ponytail.

She was Betty, Rosalia's personal bodyguard.

Although Yuri didn't know why Rosalia, with her rank and superhuman fighting abilities, needed a bodyguard.

But it's still better than Celeste being surrounded by the Elven Royal Guard wherever she goes.

Yuri walked over and greeted the girl: "You're all done?"

"...!"

Betty glared fiercely at Yuri: "That's so rude!"

"Where was I being rude?"

"The 'finished' thing... there should be a more appropriate way to say it, right?" Betty said through gritted teeth, her face flushed.

"Then what should I say? My fertility project with Your Highness is over, and I ejaculated completely inside Your Highness's body today..."

A gust of wind swept across Yuri's neck, and Betty angrily grabbed the riding crop beside her and pointed it at him.

"If you continue to insult His Highness, you will absolutely not be spared!"

"..."

Yu used his hands to push away the whip that was placed around his neck, climbed into the driver's seat, and sat down next to the girl.

"Her Highness is asleep. She probably stayed up late working again last night. Don't wake her."

"What are you going to do?" Betty frowned.

“I will escort His Highness home,” Yuri said frankly.

"..."

Betty observed suspiciously for a moment, then said nothing and began to tug at the reins.

In the silent air, the carriage moved smoothly forward, passing through the bustling streets at dusk.

As they approached a corner, Yuri suddenly spoke.

"I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you before."

"?"

Betty looked at Yuri in confusion, only to see the black-haired boy calmly gazing at the street scene and speaking.

"The attack... You must have suffered a lot because of me."

"—"

Betty was stunned.

Yuri continued, “In the end, I am the only beneficiary, while you have suffered reputational damage for no reason and have been regarded by others as useless servants who have brought shame to your master.”

By the way, Rosalia actually feels quite guilty towards you guys... but given her position, she can't directly express it..."

The girl with the single ponytail remained silent for a long time before finally breaking the silence: "So, you came here specifically to tell me this?"

"Mm." Yuri nodded.

"........."

Betty's expression was complicated, and she pursed her lips: "We're not doing this for you, it's all for His Highness."

"If it were for that person, I wouldn't hesitate to give my life, let alone do something like this!"

"Of course I know that."

Yuri turned to the girl and gave her a sincere smile: "I just feel that someone should express their gratitude to you."

If you think this is unnecessary, just pretend you didn't hear it.

"...!"

Betty stood there, her expression frozen.

After a long while, she came to her senses and hurriedly retorted, "Don't, don't get too carried away!"
