The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"understand!"

[This was an extremely difficult delivery process - everyone involved was sweating profusely.]

[Fortunately, your on-the-spot reaction was really good, and every command achieved its intended value.]

【The child was born successfully. 】

[She is a girl with bright golden hair.]

【Agrippina named her Lucius.】

【but--】

[Although you have successfully brought such a lovely girl into this world, the problems you have to face are not over yet. ]

[An even greater disaster is waiting for you. ]

[Lucius' birth was considered a bad omen by the people - after all, no noble child had ever caused his mother to almost die in childbirth.]

[This also greatly influenced the thinking of Lucius' mother Agrippina. ]

[She secretly thought that there might be something wrong with this child - this might turn into a disaster that she would regret someday.]

【But at the same time, as a mother, Agrippina still had a little love for her daughter in her heart. 】

【She decided to ask you for ideas.】

a few days later.

Agrippina called Ian into the room.

"Seneca."

The slightly pale-faced woman sat on the bed, looking at the muscular man in front of her.

"You...should have heard the rumors in the city, right?"

"Yes ma'am." Ian nodded, "I did hear that."

"What do you think?" Agrippina asked with a complicated expression, "Is Lucius' birth really a mistake?"

"She...will bring us countless disasters?"

"..."

[Although Agrippina tried her best to hide her emotions, you still noticed what she was thinking at the moment.]

[You realize that the mother seems to be hesitant about whether to get rid of her daughter based on the rumor.]

[Sympathy and benevolence have been activated: As a kind teacher, you naturally cannot watch a child named Lucius being abandoned. ]

【For this reason, you expressed your thoughts to her. 】

"No, ma'am." Ian shook his head. "I don't think so."

"On the contrary, I think Lucius' birth is a blessing for Madam's family."

"Gospel?"

Agrippina's eyes lit up slightly - it was obvious that this was the answer she wanted to hear that would keep Lucius for her.

“Seneca.”

"what do you mean?"

"Ma'am, this is a very simple truth." Ian calmly explained his reasons.

"When will a sword be sharpest?"

"I am not sure about that," Agrippina replied.

"Ma'am, let me tell you."

Ian drew his sword.

As a teacher, he knows that knowledge alone is not enough - you also have to know how to convince people with reason.

"That's after some hard work, of course."

“Only in this way can it show its best side and prove its uniqueness.”

"..."

Agrippina heard the hidden meaning in the man's words.

"You mean...Lucius encountered such a thing because God was honing her talent?"

"Ma'am, you are so smart." Ian nodded.

"That's right - this is all designed to sharpen her talent, so it's not a bad sign at all."

"On the contrary, we should be celebrating now."

"This shows that she has passed the test and possesses wisdom and courage that ordinary people cannot achieve."

"..."

Agrippina smiled more.

Of course she knew that the man in front of her was complying with her wishes - but this was exactly the reason the woman wanted.

A reason that could remove the bad omen from his daughter and at the same time infinitely elevate her status.

but--

Agrippina soon thought of another problem.

“Seneca.”

"Although I agree with your idea very much, but will this be..."

Agrippina did not finish what she said next.

But Ian already knew what she was trying to say.

Although Agrippina, as a mother, admitted her theory that "God will give you a mission and your life will be sharpened", it is not easy for others to be convinced by this.

After all, the fact of difficult labor is there.

Such a blunt explanation will only make people laugh.

but--

Ian had already thought of this.

In other words, as a teacher, he knows very well how to convince others and make them accept his theories.

"Ma'am, please rest assured." A wise light flashed in the man's eyes.

"There will soon be enough examples to prove this."

[You have never been the kind of person who speaks without thinking.]

You do have to prove it—but not by accident.

【You have your own ideas ready. 】

[That is to make the matter of "difficult birth" be completely diluted in another way, and then replaced. ]

[You disguised yourself and secretly bribed a lot of people with gold coins, asking them to spread a series of "difficult birth" incidents for you.]

[Invariably, the result of these incidents was that the child died during childbirth.]

【In this way, Lucius's experience is no longer an isolated case.】

[After everyone reluctantly agreed with this statement, you began to spread the following remarks - that is, to make Lucius's survival an act of "obeying God's will."]

【Through your efforts and the atmosphere you created earlier, this kind of thing was accomplished quickly. 】

[In Ubiolum, no one said her birth was a sin anymore.]

[Out of gratitude to you, when Lucius was one year old, Agrippina made you her official teacher.]

[A year later, Agrippina's husband died of illness, and she soon remarried to a wealthy local in Ubiolum.]

[Your life has also been greatly improved, and Lucius also changed his name to Nero at this time, indicating a complete break with his past miserable background. ]

【When he was seven years old, you began Nero's formal education. 】

【But she didn’t seem to appreciate it. 】

"That's all for today."

Ian closed the book in his hand, then looked at little Nero who was yawning with his hands covering his mouth, looking a little helpless.

"Nero."

"You've been like this several times today - is the teacher's class too boring?"

"Hmm~" The young Nero nodded and answered the teacher's question honestly.

"Mr. Seneca, I feel like these things you're saying don't make any sense to me, do they?"

"how come?"

The man walked in front of little Nero and squatted down so that his eyes were at the same height as hers.

"This is the etiquette standard for ladies from noble families."

"Nero - a girl of your background should learn it well."

"Who said that?!" Little Nero responded very unhappily.

"It's too much to come up with so many meaningless regulations to restrict just me!"

"Hmm! That guy must be a huge idiot!"

Ian laughed as he looked at little Nero with her puffy cheeks - she seemed totally unaware that she looked so cute.

And the man is not a pedantic teacher who is inflexible and only knows how to instill ideas.

A child's thinking should not be constrained, that is the freedom she should get at this time.

"it is good."

In front of Nero, the man threw the book in his hand aside to show his attitude.

Slap it.

The thick book hit the ground with a dull sound.

All of this was seen by the young Nero.

Surprised, she looked at the book that the teacher threw aside and asked.

"Teacher! What are you doing?!"

"Nothing." Ian answered very seriously, "Since what I'm teaching now doesn't interest you, it means there must be something wrong with my method."

"Nero."

"Tell me what you really think. Let the teacher adjust the subsequent plan based on it."

"..."

Little Nero probably didn't expect his teacher to be so reasonable.

But her reaction speed was indeed very fast, and she immediately realized that this was an opportunity that could be exploited.

"Hmm~ It's not impossible to tell you!"

"but--"

"In exchange, shouldn't the teacher also give me something in exchange for listening to my ideas?"

"..."

[This is a naked equal exchange, but you didn't argue with your student Nero.]

【What's more, you think this is a manifestation of her great wit. 】

【At the same time, you feel that her inner thoughts may be far more profound than you imagined. 】

This is clearly a request worth agreeing to.

【You decide to agree. 】

"Well, that does sound like a good deal."
