Are you worthy of saving the world?
Page 273
A week later.
A social gathering was held at the Valentine family estate in the Vatican City.
The reason was that the secret visit of the Elf Queen Celestia and her daughter to the Vatican was eventually exposed.
In order to quell the rumors that were gradually spreading, Rosalia decided to hold a joint banquet with Celestia to make her stance clear.
Their friendship is well known to everyone, so this banquet is also seen as a signal that the Augusta Empire and the Holy Tree Kingdom will deepen cooperation and exchanges in the future.
Unfortunately, Yuli was also invited to participate.
Generally speaking, underage children of prophecy are not allowed to participate in any form of political activities.
However, one of the parties hosting the party this time is the Elf Queen.
Due to the complicated relationship between the Son of Prophecy and the Holy Tree Kingdom, even the Pope's Office cannot reject the invitation to this event.
During the weekend, Yuri received a notice from the Twelve Holy Sees that he was allowed to attend a party hosted by Rosalia.
I really don’t want to go...
Yuli sighed, feeling that Rosa and Celes were hiding something from him.
A few nights ago, Yuli climbed over the wall and entered the Grand Duke's residence.
Humph, it's ridiculous that the security at the residence of a queen is so lax...
"I do not want to go."
Yuri said this after being caught and tied up by Miss Betty, the captain of the manor's guards, and thrown in front of Rosalia.
"Don't be willful." The Grand Duchess looked impatient.
"Lord Yuli, there are many delicious foods at the banquet." The Elf Queen comforted him as she untied him.
"I am troubled by your taking the initiative, Your Highness."
Yuli's approach is to bide his time, make a fortune quietly, and not want to become the focus of everyone's attention too early.
Rosalia rolled her eyes and said, "There have been a lot of bad rumors about you in the Vatican recently. I can't stand it anymore."
Yuli was about to retort when she continued.
"Besides, you are planning to study abroad next, right? This is Augusta's gathering, and it's a chance for everyone to get to know you again."
Yuli was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Rosalia to care so much about him.
After all, that person seemed to care only about his own career and really intended to keep Yuli as a gigolo.
"I thought your Highness was going to challenge the Vatican. The Son of Prophecy and I are very close."
"That's also a consideration." Rosalia smiled charmingly.
Yuri: “…”
"What's the answer?"
"I am participating."
"Haha, that's more like it."
The Archduchess came up to Yuri, cupped his cheeks and kissed him passionately.
"Ohhh... Rosa is so bold!"
Celestia covered her blushing cheeks and peeped out her eyes from between her fingers, stealing a glimpse of the two people’s affectionate actions.
"Let...let me give you a kiss too?"
"No."
Rosaria wiped the corner of her mouth and replied with a smile: "Ceres and Yuri should have a healthy relationship, and I will be responsible for the sexual desire of the Holy Son."
"By the way...what exactly is the gift?"
That night, Rosalia said meaningfully:
In order to repay Yuri for his previous contribution in the singularity, I want to give him a gift?
Yuli muttered to himself as he filled the sink in the birdcage.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"Could it be...Aunt Rosa is pregnant with my child?!"
Yuli swallowed.
"Then, she will announce this at the dinner in front of dozens of nobles and Cecilia!!"
“Chew? Chew, chew, chew! (What? That woman actually… guh, I’m so envious…)”
The bird's feathers trembled at its owner's mumbling, and it chirped in protest.
"No, Aunt Rosa wouldn't do such a thing..."
……
……
……
The time came to the day of the banquet.
Early in the morning, the robin made a lot of noise in his cage.
Yuli, who was in a bad mood, cast a "Silence Spell" on it, and the bedroom returned to peace.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Valentine family's carriage arrived at Yuli's door.
"Yuli, I'm here to pick you up."
Sitting in the carriage was the Grand Duke's daughter Cecilia.
She was not wearing a knight's uniform or a sword today, but a light blue evening dress.
Her gorgeous blonde hair and fair skin sparkled in the sun, and her beautiful features were flawless, like a creation of God.
Although she is still in the young stage of transforming into a mature woman, she already has a voluptuous curve that is no less beautiful than her mother's.
Yuli was pulled into the carriage by Cecilia.
After more than twenty minutes of bumpy ride, we arrived at the Grand Duke's residence.
Before even stepping through the door, one can feel the atmosphere is far more grand and lively than usual.
From the entrance to the atrium, there were nobles dressed in gorgeous costumes.
Some of them were people whose names Yuri knew, but most of them were people he didn't know at all - they were all from the Valentine faction, or imperial nobles who wanted to curry favor with the Grand Duchess.
It was not until this time that Yuli realized for the first time how powerful Rosalia was.
"Oh, isn't this the child of prophecy? I've also heard the rumors about Lord Yuri."
"Oh my, he is the Holy Son after all... It only took him one month to become the No.2 of Saint Cromwell. He really lives up to his reputation."
"I really hope my good-for-nothing son can learn from you."
"I've always felt that there's something hidden in the Son of Prophecy. He's worthy of being the Savior!"
The stranger nobles surrounded the two of them, chattering non-stop.
Just as Rosalia said, Yuri's reputation as a genius had spread throughout the Vatican without anyone noticing.
More importantly, there were overtures from the Augusta Empire and the Holy Tree Kingdom.
Since the Son of Prophecy was invited to this banquet, it meant that the Archduchess and the Queen wanted to maintain a good relationship with him even at the risk of offending the Papal Palace.
For the nobles who were vassals of the Grand Duchess, Yuli was certainly someone worth trying to please.
"Her Highness Cecilia really has good taste. The two of you are a perfect match."
"My daughter is usually taken care of by you two."
"Is it too late to join the Lily Cross now? My daughter has always had this intention, hehe..."
Unlike Yuli, who was attending such a large social gathering for the first time, Cecilia responded to the greetings from the adults very calmly.
After finally breaking through the first wave of entanglement, Yuli and Cecilia arrived in front of the venue building.
“Yuri, are you… nervous?”
Cecilia held the Child of Prophecy's hand and suddenly asked.
Although Her Highness Sword Princess is usually carefree, she can be particularly sharp at certain times.
"I thought Yuri had gotten used to this kind of situation recently. Sorry... If I had known earlier, I would have protested to my mother."
If it were Yuri three months ago, he would definitely be frightened by such an occasion.
But recently, this childhood sweetheart has changed.
He seemed like a different person, confident and decisive, so Cecilia thought it was okay for Yuli to attend the party.
"Hmm? Actually, not really..."
Yuri was not so much nervous because of the atmosphere at the venue, but rather because he was unsure.
He didn't know what Rosalia and Celeste were planning today.
"Ulyphis Falchion."
"Rosalia Valentine Augusta."
“And, Celestia Eugraxil…”
"The three of us are officially dating!!!"
"From now on, Rosa and I will aim to become Lord Yuri's partner, work together, support each other, and serve him as his wife."
"Please supervise and support us~?"
Please don't make it an official announcement. I am ready to become the public enemy of all men in the world...
Yuli twitched his mouth and stepped into the venue.
The banquet was held in a spacious room covering thousands of square meters.
