Since "robbing by force" is not appropriate, let's try "taking by trickery".

On the way here, Yuli had learned about the general situation of the manor from Annabell, and he had also brewed a plan in his mind that he thought was perfect.

He thought about it and suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Spencer is really talkative."

"Haha, really? No, I'm really excited today because I got to meet the legendary idol!

I'm so sorry... to have embarrassed you, my Lord Savior." Mr. Spencer laughed heartily while drinking.

"Savior or something... I don't have any real achievements, so please don't call me that."

"No, no, no, how could that be! Your legend is well-known even in this rural area!

You cured the orc princess of a curse that even the shaman couldn't resolve, and you protected the elf queen at a social dinner!"

Mr. Spencer enumerated all of Yuli's glorious deeds.

At this time, he looked at the two people beside Yuli: "Speaking of which, these two are..."

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Miss Annabell and Miss Irene. They are my teachers at St. Cromwell's." Yuli explained.

Spencer stroked his mustache and nodded, "I see. I thought it was your entourage at first... but the two ladies have such outstanding temperaments, I think it's unlikely...

Not only are you nobles, but you are also teachers of St. Cromwell? You are so young!"

Annabelle and Irene nodded.

Then, Spencer boasted, "You are worthy of being the Son of Prophecy. Even the seminary cares about you!" and other compliments.

If he was an ordinary 14-year-old boy, he would have been flattered by his compliments.

However, Yuli always maintained a respectful and polite attitude.

"Mr. Spencer, why don't you introduce me to your wife and children?"

Yuli suddenly changed the topic to the mother and daughter sitting opposite him.

When they were called, they were stunned for a moment, and then showed surprised expressions.

Mr. Spencer immediately replied with a look of shame on his face: "Look, I'm really... sorry, sorry, because I met my idol, I even forgot to introduce my dear wife and daughter."

"Could you please introduce me to him?"

"Of course, this is my wife." Mr. Spencer looked at the lady on his left.

The beautiful lady in a gorgeous evening dress has soft and fluffy yellowish blonde hair that extends to her shoulder blades. Her plump figure exudes the seductive charm unique to mature women.

"My name is Liz Carlo. Lord Child of Prophecy, you can just call me Liz."

She slowly lowered her chin, placed her hands together near her abdomen, and bowed her head gracefully towards Yuli.

"Good evening, Mrs. Lizzie."

The girl sitting next to Mrs. Liz is her daughter, named Louise Carlo.

He is one year older than Yuli and just had his coming-of-age ceremony not long ago.

Unlike her parents who displayed aristocratic calmness, the girl secretly stared at Yuri with an obviously wary look.

Oh no... I've been mistaken for a robber who came to plunder my property, the boy thought.

"Has Miss Louise ever considered coming to St. Cromwell's?"

While chewing on a piece of fried fish, Irene said, "It's rare that this manor is so close to the Vatican, so why not come to the seminary to study?"

Mrs. Liz: “…”

Louise: “…”

"------"

In an instant, the restaurant was shrouded in a subtle atmosphere.

Annabell glared at her friend, and Yuri sighed silently.

Irene also realized that she had said the wrong thing and scratched her cheek embarrassedly.

"Teacher Irene, thank you very much for your concern, but Louise has been receiving guidance from the best tutor at home." Mr. Spencer said.

“I-I see…” Irene nodded with an awkward smile.

As a result, Miss Louise spent the entire second half of the dinner glaring at the pink-haired teacher in anger.

After dinner, Mr. Spencer took Yuli to the study in the mansion.

This time, Mrs. Liz and Miss Louise were not there. Only Yuli, Annabelle and Irene were there.

Mr. Spencer sat down at the imposing desk, and Yuli sat on the single sofa.

"Lord Ulysses, now that there is no one else, let's talk business."

"can."

Yuri nodded in response.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the door to the inner room of the study was slightly opened, and two pairs of eyes were watching closely here.

It must be Mrs. Liz and Miss Louise who are peeking, Yuli thought.

“Mr. Spencer, I think you have heard that Augusta Royal has given me the ownership of this manor.

I came here today to reclaim this manor."

The other party tried to get Yuli to speak out his demands in public all day, but Yuli kept him hanging and deliberately didn't say anything.

Now Mr. Spencer finally lost his patience and was about to confront Yuli, but Yuli caught him off guard and went straight to the point.

Mr. Spencer seemed to be caught off guard by the attack of the Son of Prophecy. The words he had prepared were stuck in his throat. He was unable to utter a word for a long time and looked very embarrassed.

"Um... uh, yes... yes, that's right, I did hear news about this."

Mr. Spencer stroked his beard with a shaking hand: "But it's very troublesome to do this...

I don’t want to speak ill of the royal family, but this manor and land are the legacy left by my father, Baron Charles…”

Yuri interrupted him: "Your father..."

For a moment, Mr. Spencer looked embarrassed, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Yes, my father… Even if the law doesn’t recognize it, Baron Charles is still my respected father.

The Baron entrusted everything in this manor to me before he died... Over the past five years, I have devoted all my efforts to this manor.

How can His Majesty kick me out now? He can't do this. I think there must be some misunderstanding!"

"No, there is no misunderstanding."

Yuri shook his head calmly.

"The Augusta royal family has decided to give this manor to Ulysses Falchion as a reward."

"!"

Mr. Spencer rose suddenly from his chair.

The gentlemanly atmosphere just now disappeared, and the middle-aged man's eyes became sharp and sinister.

He spoke in a loud voice: "As the emperor of the empire, how can you arbitrarily distribute the property of your subjects? This is simply robbery!

It is precisely because of the support of small lords like us that the empire has been able to maintain a stable order for thousands of years.

If the Emperor's behavior gets out, it will only chill the hearts of his subjects."

No, it’s useless even if you tell me this… Yuli thought speechlessly.

"I'm sorry I cannot accept your request, Lord Ulysses."

Spencer looked down at the dark-haired boy and continued.

“You may continue to remain in this mansion as an honored guest.

You can stay as long as you want, but I will never give it up to anyone else.

If you plan to go back, please tell Her Highness Rosaria for me.

No matter what means the Empire takes, I will not back down.

I will protect the good life of my wife and daughter, and I will never give up the legacy left to me by my father!"

With Spencer's speech, which was equivalent to a declaration of war, Yuli instantly became a villain at the level of a burglar.

"……Well."

Infected by the aura of justice emanating from the man, Irene even felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Yes... As a husband and a father, he just wants to protect his family.

Even if his wife spends money extravagantly and his daughter lives a luxurious life...

Even if the enemy is the future savior and the most powerful woman on the continent...

He was not shaken at all. Is there anything wrong with protecting your family?

"..."

Yuli remained silent.

Just as he expected, this man knew very well who his real backer was.

A hundred times more terrifying than the Imperial Emperor Ronald, the dictatorial empress of Augusta——

The manor only has about forty knights, which is nothing compared to the imperial army.

However, even though he knew he was going to be an enemy of the tyrant empress, Spencer was not afraid at all, of course, because he also had his own political backers.

Yuri said calmly.

"I heard that you have a close personal relationship with Prince Andrei. Is this the reason you are fighting against him?"

Rosalia certainly wouldn't let Yuli be used as a gun to snatch other people's inheritance for no reason.

The reason why this land was given to Yuli was because Spencer was a lackey of Prince Andre.

"Lord Ulysses knows this very well, too."

Spencer smiled.
