You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Yuri ran impatiently toward the foyer.

I wonder who would bother us at this hour. Normally, the young ladies of Lily Cross should be gathered in the garden drinking tea at this time.

Could it be that Rosalia accidentally revealed her true identity as a "Night Watchman," exposing herself to the spotlight?

Yuri wasn't ready for the public attention.

I nervously opened the door and saw a beautiful figure that I knew all too well—

"Cecilia?"

"Good afternoon, Yuri. May I come in?"

"of course."

Yuri led the blonde knight through the corridor, and the two entered the living room in silence.

According to Rosalia, Cecilia must have learned about her mother's promotion as soon as it happened yesterday morning.

After she left here last night, she also went to see Cecilia.

So, did "Fiora" come to celebrate with me?

It doesn't look like it.

Yuri glanced back and noticed that she had an unusually uneasy expression.

Yuri was puzzled: Why was her daughter so unhappy when her mother had advanced to the ninth rank?

"Yuri, you must have heard about Mother's advancement to the ninth rank."

Cecilia spoke as soon as she sat down.

Yuri boasted, "Of course."

"Wow, Princess Rosalia, and that mysterious fellow called 'The Night Watch'—whoever he is, I don't know."

"So... even Yuri thinks so?"

The "Sword Maiden" lowered her long, gilded eyelashes in dejection.

Yuri finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "What exactly happened, Cecilia?"

Cecilia pursed her lips: "I don't know what to do..."

"The only thing I could think of doing was to consult Yuri about this..."

"Ah."

Yuri suddenly felt a great sense of responsibility and encouraged her with her eyes to continue.

Cecilia took a deep breath and then spoke uneasily.

“Yuri, I’ve recently started to suspect that Mother is practicing a dubious religion…”

"what?"

Yuri's heart skipped a beat: Had the "Endless Ritual" been exposed?

Yuri's actions so far have been aimed at preserving the original storyline of the world as much as possible.

He allied with Rosalia, the boss whose health bar had not yet appeared in the game progress.

He didn't improve his rank and strength in the safer real world, but through singularities.

All of these efforts were made by Yuri to ensure that his prophetic abilities remained effective without excessively affecting the game's storyline.

But if Cecilia finds out that Rosalia is the "Empress", the entire future could descend into an unpredictable and chaotic situation!

Cecilia has realized the connection between the "Final Ritual" and her mother.

No way... Yuri swallowed hard.

"Yuri, you should have already heard..."

"A man known as 'The Night Watchman' has recently gained Mother's trust, and together they have conquered the Nine Star Singularity."

"Ever since I met him, my mother has become stranger and stranger... I'm very worried."

Cecilia said indignantly:

"I think the culprit is him—the Night Watchman! He's the one who deceived and manipulated Mother!"

"Yuri! Please lend me your power, and help me protect Mother!"

Episode 091: The "Night Watchman" is actually the "Fiora's" biological father!? (Two-part story)

Cecilia learned of her mother's advancement to the ninth rank yesterday morning.

As for my thoughts?

As expected of a mother.

Cecilia has very complicated feelings for Rosalia, but that doesn't stop her from being genuinely happy.

However, after learning that her mother had received assistance from a mysterious person called "The Night Watchman," she immediately sensed that something was amiss.

Rosalia is a member of the secret organization "The Final Ritual". Although her identity is perfectly disguised, her daughter still notices something unusual from the details of daily life.

Cecilia was unaware of her mother's hidden identity; she just felt something was off, especially with this "Night Watchman"...

She had never heard of the "Night Watch," let alone knew that her mother had such an ally to whom she could entrust her life!

Suspicious...it's extremely suspicious!

Dear Mother, you don't secretly belong to any cult, do you?

Cecilia didn't know who to discuss this with.

From yesterday until now, everyone has been praising and flattering the Grand Duchess's legendary feat of conquering the Nine Star Singularity, only Cecilia is worried about her.

At that moment, she remembered the person she trusted most—

"Oh right... Yuri!"

……

……

……

"Hahaha... So you came to me to discuss this?"

He was surprised that Cecilia had come to discuss "himself" with him, which left him feeling both amused and exasperated.

Yuri thought that Rosalia might have left some clues since she had stayed at his house for two days in a row, so he suggested that the two of them go out for a walk together.

They went out of their house, onto the street, and bought two cups of hakimi, drinking them as they walked.

The streets of the upper city were filled with nobles and dignitaries from various countries discussing Rosalia's advancement to the ninth rank.

"As expected of Princess Rosalia, she has actually advanced to the ninth rank... The Empire's national strength will likely become the strongest among the three major powers in the next hundred years!"

"I just disagreed with Princess Rosalia last year on tax reform. Is it too late for me to send her gifts to curry favor?"

"Too late! Luckily, I've always been a female member of the Grand Council, hahaha!"

Among the nobles, some were happy and some were depressed.

"Speaking of which, Princess Rosalia was already quite powerful, so her advancement to the ninth rank isn't surprising. What's truly astonishing this time is that guy called 'The Night Watchman'!"

"Did you see the latest interview this morning? That haughty Grand Duchess's praise for him was practically overflowing; she even wanted to attribute all the credit for conquering the Nine Star Singularity to him!"

"This is the first time I've heard Princess Rosalia speak so highly of someone! She's usually very strict with her own daughter!"

"It seems this 'Night Watchman' is indeed a very capable adult... I'd really like to get to know him."

The nobles were excitedly speculating about who this unheard-of "Night Watchman" was.

Gender, age, race, rank, and the nature of his relationship with the Grand Duchess, etc.

These words, of course, reached Cecilia's ears as well.

The girl was sullen, convinced that the "night watchman" was a liar who had deceived her mother's feelings and trust.

Why... is everyone willing to believe such a suspicious guy?

“I say, could the Night’s Watch be Princess Cecilia’s biological father?” a nobleman exclaimed. “That would explain everything!”

"……puff!!!"

Cecilia spat out the Hakimi in her mouth, and Yuri quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"What...what nonsense is that guy spouting!" The blonde knight gritted her teeth in anger, casting a resentful glance at the nobles who nodded in agreement as if they had discovered a new continent.

It's no wonder the nobles would make such connections: Cecilia's background has always been a mystery, arguably the top secret of the Augusta royal family.

Only Yuri, a time traveler, knew the inside story, as well as the fact that Rosalia, despite being a mother, was still a virgin.

"Ugh... Yuri, you'll be on my side, right? Let's defeat the Night's Watch together, okay?"

Cecilia's beautiful eyes trembled, and she gave the boy a pitiful look.

Yuri sighed. "I don't think the Night Watchmen are necessarily bad people."

Even Yuri is on his side!

Cecilia panicked.

Euryphus Falción was her final spiritual haven.

If even Yuri isn't on her side, wouldn't she be making enemies of the whole world?

"You're exaggerating."

Yuri smiled and said, "At times like these, you should trust your mother more."

Rosalia is a remarkable woman; she possesses exceptional judgment and will not be easily deceived by men.

Yuri ultimately did not reveal the truth to Cecilia, that he was the man she accused of deceiving his mother both physically and emotionally.

Yuri thought that the title "Night Watchman" could be used when he did some shady, clandestine work in the future.

Coupled with the demonic transformation skill that cannot be used in the form of a Holy Son—"Night Watchman"—it will become a dark legend on the continent of Diamat.

Cecilia is certainly someone Yuri trusts, but she's too kind; it's better to keep her away from certain things.

As expected of His Highness, his wisdom and strategy are beyond our reach!
