Are you worthy of saving the world?

"Good evening, senior."

Yuri looked toward the center of the room.

A beautiful girl with long straight black hair, with no clothes on the upper body and black stockings on the lower body, and her snow-white arms are hung high.

The whole picture is extremely harmonious.

However, Yuli had just released all his energy into Princess Rosalia's body, so he didn't have any reaction, he just felt it was very beautiful.

“…Yuri.”

Emerrod opened his eyes.

The emerald pupils glowed faintly in the dark environment.

Yuli walked up to her and asked softly, "Senior, have you calmed down?"

"…I'm fine now."

The black straight-haired girl nodded quietly.

Yuri looked at her and raised his hand to untie the chains that bound her wrists.

"...Woo."

Emerrod groaned softly, then sat down heavily on the cold ground.

Yuli covered her naked body with the home clothes draped over her shoulders, and her long, beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings stretched out weakly.

"Master Yuri, I'm so sorry for causing trouble to you and everyone else."

"It really is. It has caused a lot of trouble."

Yuri smiled and sat down next to her.

"Today, everyone in the Knights' Order ran all over the Upper Town in search of you who had gone missing.

From after school until late at night, when I went home just now, I saw them staying on the street searching for any trace of you.

Because it was already very late, it was not safe for the girls to stay outside, so I sent them all back home.

I don’t want their parents or housekeepers to come to the school tomorrow morning to question me.”

"..."

When Emerald heard Yuri mention the Lily Cross, he bit his lip with mixed feelings.

"I'm sorry... It's all because of me that I made everyone worried..."

"Indeed, it's all your fault."

Yuri crossed his arms over his chest, ignoring the fact that he was the one who imprisoned Emerod.

"But for the sake of our friendship, let's not pursue the issue of the vice-captain being absent from class without reason. Remember to apologize to everyone later, okay?"

"……Um."

Emerrod turned his head to the side, lowered his eyelashes, and asked calmly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Yuri."

"I always naively thought that the Lily Cross would last forever."

“Three years ago… when I first joined the Knights, Lord Ulysses was still a child who always hid behind Cecilia.

Although everyone says you will become the savior in the future, but..."

Emerrod hesitated to speak, but Yuri encouraged her to continue with his eyes.

“But I, and I’m afraid not only me, but everyone else…actually just thinks of you as the mascot of the Lily Cross.

At that time, Lord Yuri was like a princess in a fairy tale who was protected by knights. "

Yuli could totally understand her thoughts.

Until he regained his memories of his past life, he was an introverted and weak boy with no talent to speak of.

“I thought this time would continue like a fairy tale.

But recently, Lord Yuri has changed..."

Emerrod pursed his lips.

"You are no longer as timid as before, and your personality has become much more outgoing.

It took only one month for him to obtain the special admission qualification of St. Cromwell's, which was so legitimate that everyone was stunned.

I think Lord Yuri is truly remarkable and I am very proud of him.”

Huh, you could praise me a little more, said Yuli.

“But I’ve gradually realized that we (Lily Cross) may not be able to protect Lord Yuri with our power.

The legitimacy and reason for the existence of the Holy Son's Guard are gradually disappearing... When I think of this, I am very scared, very scared. "

Emerrod's shoulders trembled slightly, but his expression was firm and resolute.

"I can't stand it."

"What is the most important thing to you, Lord Yuri? To me, it is the Lily Cross.

You, Lady Cecilia, Ruby, Safia, and everyone else... I hope everyone can stay in the past three years forever.

I'm scared! I can't imagine a future without the Lily Cross, so..."

"Was it at that time that your heart was corroded by the demon sword?" Yuli asked.

Emerrod hummed softly.

"I thought that if Lord Yuri becomes surrounded by danger, perhaps the Lily Cross can continue to exist."

"How stupid..."

Emerod did not refute Yuli's comments.

Very stupid indeed.

An abnormal obsession bound Emerrod's heart.

During these three years, she had poured too much emotion into Lily Cross, and at the same time, she had invested abnormal expectations into it.

So when the Knights Temperance was about to disband, she was as overwhelmed as a mother who had lost her child, unable to face the future.

This is Emerod's heart knot.

"I presumptuously believed that everything I did was for the Lily Cross, but in reality I was tarnishing the Lily Cross with my criminal acts and defaming you, Lord Yuri.

I'm sorry... As the vice-captain of the Knights, I knew that this was something that absolutely could not be done, but I still...

I'm sorry, I'm so selfish, all I think about is myself..."

Emerrod covered her face, tears streaming from her palms.

"Ha, what's wrong with being selfish?"

A sarcastic voice came from the door.

Yuri looked up in surprise, and the silver-haired witch with her arms folded across her chest appeared under the swaying light.

"Stella, are you still awake?"

Although the Ash Witch appears in a very cool manner, she is wearing a nightcap for some reason.

Stella ignored Yuli's questioning and stared at Emerald with a teasing look.

"I thought you were a boring top student, but I didn't expect you to be quite interesting.

There is nothing wrong with being a little selfish. People should live for themselves. The only person they can trust is themselves...

If you want something, fight for it and plunder it. If you want to protect something, destroy it and kill it...

If this world tries to take away my destiny, then I will take revenge on the whole world. What's wrong with thinking this way? "

"Go back to bed!"

Yuli interrupted Stella's endless and inflammatory speech.

Seeing Stella raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction, Yuli ignored her, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said:

"Senior Emerod, although you want to apologize to me, I actually want to express my gratitude to you."

"Thanks? For me?"

Yuri nodded: "Senior, thank you for your hard work. Thanks to you, the Lily Cross has survived for the past three years...

The Knights are all girls who have been spoiled since childhood and are full of personality. Thanks to your maintenance, they have been able to live in harmony until now."

"Lord Yuri..."

There was a gleam in Emerod's eyes.

It seemed that the words of the Child of Prophecy touched her heart.

What Emerold probably hopes is that his efforts will be rewarded.

It’s not that there have been no conflicts and disputes in the Lily Cross, and there is no shortage of self-centered young ladies in the group.

In order to maintain the friendly atmosphere in the group, Emerrod has silently made a lot of sacrifices alone, and she must also hope that her actions can be recognized and encouraged.

Yuli continued, “Although the Lily Cross has been formally disbanded, the memories we have shared will never die.

Not only me, but everyone has seen all that Aimelrod has done for us, and we are all grateful for your efforts.

You may not know that everyone secretly thinks that you are the true leader of the Lily Cross."

"Lord Yuri..."

Emerrod bit his lip lightly and lowered his head.

As if to hide her feelings, she rubbed her eyes vigorously.

"Lord Yuri, you are so gentle... I am clearly a hopeless criminal."

"Haha, it's true."

The silver-haired witch on the side sneered: "But you don't have to worry. Your Lord Saint will take you in. It just so happens that he is surrounded by a group of hidden criminals.
