Are you worthy of saving the world?

The previous owner of Oak Manor was Baron Charles.

He died without leaving any offspring, only one illegitimate child, Lizzie Carroll.

Although she was the daughter of a woman he had an affair with, Baron Charles kept Lizzie by his side and raised her until she grew up and got married.

Five years ago, Baron Charles died, and the Oak Manor under his name became an inheritance without any heirs.

Although no matter whether it is imperial or church law, illegitimate children are not eligible to inherit their father's property.

However, in legal practice, it is not uncommon for illegitimate children to inherit under special circumstances.

There is a prerequisite, that is, the illegal heir must have the ability to be a lord, or have sufficient background power.

After all, for the royal family and the church, the key is to maintain local stability and provide regular taxes on time.

But unfortunately, Liz clearly does not have the ability to manage a manor and more than a hundred households.

About nine years ago, Mrs. Liz's first husband died in an accident.

Mrs. Lizzie then returned to her father with her young daughter and lived a rich and luxurious life as a noblewoman ever since.

Then, five years ago, something unexpected happened again.

Baron Charles, the only father that Lady Lizzie could rely on, died.

The Empire and the Church would obviously not allow an illegitimate daughter with no talent for being a lord to inherit the manor.

Then, when Liz was feeling overwhelmed, Mr. Spencer appeared in front of the mother and daughter like a savior.

He was a good friend of Baron Charles and Liz's late husband, one of the richest men in the empire, and even had a close relationship with Prince Andre.

Spencer told Mrs. Liz that even for the sake of his old friend's legacy, he would never let anyone take Oak Manor away from her and her daughter.

To this end, he proposed a plan:

Spencer would become Lizzie Carlo's second husband and manage Oak Hall on her behalf.

In this way, Lady Liz had a husband with outstanding abilities, and even the Empire and the Church could not interfere in the issue of the Baron's succession.

Of course, the marriage was only in name, and in reality it was a last resort to protect Liz and Louise - that's what Spencer claimed.

Desperate, Mrs. Liz finally accepted the proposal.

She was able to stay at Oak Hall and continue her life as a Versailles lady.

And Spencer did fulfill his many pre-marriage promises and protected the mother and daughter like a gentleman.

Not only that, Spencer also introduced a series of measures to manage the territory in an orderly manner, and was quite popular among the people.

And just like that, five years passed.

Everything is developing in a good direction.

Although the inheritance right of the manor is not legal, it will become a mess over time, and her status as lord will become legitimate as time goes by.

It was an ordinary afternoon, Spencer expressed his love to Mrs. Liz——

Spencer hopes to be her real husband.

Liz was shocked when she heard this and felt overwhelmed by the sudden pursuit.

However, Spencer said in a gentlemanly manner, "You can take your time to think about it."

He also said, "Please don't care about my feelings. Even if you reject me, your current life will not change," and encouraged her to discuss it with her daughter.

For Liz, Spencer is truly a lifesaver.

She couldn't imagine what situation she and her daughter would be in now if Spencer hadn't helped her five years ago.

Maybe she was working as a laundress in the lower city of the Vatican.

In order to protect his old friend's daughter, Spencer even sacrificed his own happiness. Liz saw this and was very moved.

Although there was no romantic relationship between them, Liz's gratitude towards this man was beyond words.

but……

Why on earth was it that Mrs. Liz always felt that she just couldn't accept Spencer's kindness.

Perhaps I was born to be an ungrateful and heartless woman, Mrs. Liz thought.

That's why I got retribution, my husband and father left me one after another...

After thinking for two months, Mrs. Liz decided to accept Spencer's pursuit as a way of repaying his kindness.

However, right after this incident, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The Empire granted ownership of Oak Manor to a young boy.

It’s obvious that Liz has been the actual lord here for five years!

The person who made this absurd decision was none other than the Grand Duchess of the Empire.

Of course, it was impossible for a noble illegitimate child like Lady Lizzie to have met such a great figure, but she had heard some horrible rumors about her.

It is very obvious why Archduchess Rosalia has set her sights on this land.

This was a punishment inflicted upon Liz's "husband" Spencer because he had been too close to Prince Andre.

Or it could be a punishment from heaven. After all, he had provoked an enemy that he could not possibly defeat, just like a natural disaster like a flood or an earthquake.

everything is over.

My father's inheritance will be taken away by people I don't know.

He and his daughter would end up on the streets.

Mrs. Lizzie fell into despair from which there was no escape.

The only people he could rely on now were Mr. Spencer and Prince Andre behind him...

"As long as you are willing to obey me, I don't mind letting you retain your status as mistress and continue to live in your father's manor."

In the dead of night, Ulysses used the power of verdancy to sneak into Mrs. Liz's bedroom and said these words to her.

Mrs. Liz didn't know much about the Child of Prophecy.

She didn't care about politics and didn't believe in oracles about the end of the world, but she felt that she had been hearing rumors about this boy frequently recently.

His various legendary performances in St. Cromwell, of course, also spread here.

Every time Mrs. Liz would think: If she was not an illegitimate daughter but her father's legitimate daughter, would Louise also be able to go to school at St. Cromwell?

"How's it going, Mrs. Lizzie?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Yuli continued to ask: "Cooperate with me."

"do not want!"

Mrs. Lizzie growled in agitation, fearing that she might be heard.

She had heard from Spencer that Ulysses' childhood sweetheart was Princess Cecilia, and that he had a special relationship with the Archduchess.

This time, the Son of Prophecy came with a mission - to take away his father's legacy from him!

How could I possibly cooperate with you?

Mrs. Liz regained her composure from her initial panic, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and hummed.

"You just threatened me with my daughter as a joke. Please leave immediately... or I will call for help!"

What on earth was going on in the mind of a noble man who was supposed to be the savior of the world, breaking into a woman's bedroom late at night? It was totally unreasonable!

She didn't dare to act rashly and could only persuade Ulysses to leave and then ask Spencer for help.

Right now, the only person that she and her daughter can rely on is that gentleman.

However, Yuri had no intention of leaving.

After he released the lady's wrist, he sat down on the edge of the bed and crossed his legs.

The Son of Prophecy sighed and said:

"You and Miss Louise completely treat me as an enemy."

"..."

Mrs. Liz didn't want to pay any attention to the boy and turned away.

"That's not the case, Mrs. Lizzie."

Yuri smiled calmly and said, "I'm here to protect you."

"Protect me and Louise..." Mrs. Liz smiled contemptuously.

Yuri nodded and said, “Yes, I will protect you.

I will take over the land, but I will also allow you and your daughter to stay in the manor and continue the noble life you have led so far.

Although I am familiar with the Canon Law, I do not agree with all of its contents. In my simple sense of values,

No matter what, you are Baron Charles's biological and beloved daughter, and you should not be ruthlessly driven out of this mansion."

"..."

It is undeniable that these words touched the softest part of Mrs. Liz's heart.

Lizzie Carroll was Baron Charles' biological daughter - how she wanted everyone to agree with that.

She didn't care about her humble illegitimate status, but the father-daughter relationship should not be denied.

However, the church's scriptures consider her blood relationship with her father to be lowly as well!

Yuli's words made Mrs. Liz's body tremble and her heart beat faster.

But she immediately realized that this was just the boy's attempt to please and take advantage of her.

Madam Liz sneered, "Humph... you are really sharp-tongued, Lord Saint.

Is it because of your eloquence that you are able to get along well with the Pope and the Archduchess?"

When Yuri didn't respond, she continued.

"I'm sorry, but I won't accept your invitation—

If I had to choose someone to depend on, I would choose Mr. Spencer instead of a kid the same age as my daughter.

That person is far more reliable than you, he is a trustworthy gentleman. "
