[This doubt did not last long.]

[Because you soon got an answer that you never expected. ]

【That was the death of Nero's wealthy father a few days later. 】

[This was a rather strange death. No one had contact with the mercenary father that day, and no one even saw him.]

[He collapsed in his room as if committing suicide, and was not discovered until his body became cold.]

[But all this is not accidental - because you feel the existence of magic. ]

[It was something that was rarely recorded in the vast amount of Roman books, and it was like a miracle.]

【Combined with what happened before, you realize that it was Agrippina who led all this. 】

[She used a ruthless method to deal with the difficulties Nero faced.]

[However, things did not develop in a very good direction after that. ]

It was a rainy night.

Ian took Nero to his father's funeral.

but--

She was not too sad at the moment, and her tone was more of confusion.

"Teacher, I heard that the day I was born... my mother had a difficult delivery, is that right?"

"Yeah, that's true." Ian didn't intend to hide the fact, "But that's all in the past."

"But--"

Little Nero looked at the man beside him, and his green eyes revealed a bit of sadness at this moment.

"Teacher, aren't you afraid of this?"

"Afraid?" Ian frowned slightly, "What am I afraid of?"

"Are you afraid that I will affect you..." Little Nero held Ian's hand tightly.

"Two have died already, right?"

"..."

Ian knew that little Nero was talking about his two fathers.

And judging from this incident, he felt that there was good reason to suspect that Agrippina had also done the previous things.

But young Nero considered all this his own fault.

only--

Now is obviously not the right time to explain it to her.

Ian squatted down, hugged Nero tightly in his arms, and whispered in her ear.

"It's fine."

"The teacher will not be influenced by you - I still have to teach you how to be an emperor."

"Eh——?!" Little Nero realized that this was his teacher who agreed.

"Then it's settled!"

"Yeah, it's agreed."

"Hook!"

"Yeah, hook."

The two of them hooked their little fingers together.

A smile once again appeared on little Nero's face, just like the sky clearing up after the rain.

【The death of the rich man has become an unsolved case. 】

[Since the real murderer could not be found, all his property had to be taken over by his wife Agrippina.]

[But you didn't comment on this - after all, everything is moving in a direction that is favorable to Nero.]

[And Agrippina was not idle either. ]

[After learning about her daughter's ambition to become emperor, she began to get busy, totally unlike a wife who had just lost her husband.]

[You realize that she may not have any feelings for the rich man - this is all a business between them, but now someone else has become part of the business.]

【But this has nothing to do with you. 】

[All you have to do now is teach Emperor Nero what he should learn.]

[Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and Nero grew into a beautiful girl. ]

[And on this day, she welcomed the most important turning point in her life, which was also the one her mother Agrippina had been fighting for.]

[That is to give your speech in the Senate! ]

394. Nervous Nero/First Speech/Bathroom Invitation (4k)

[This was a special opportunity that Agrippina secured for Nero.]

[To be fair, a girl of her age shouldn't have the possibility to enter the Senate and give a speech like this.]

【But Agrippina was too persistent. 】

[She used exaggerated words and fabricated facts to portray her daughter as a successful young woman.]

[Although you know it is a lie, you can do nothing about it. ]

[After all, if Agrippina's disguise was exposed at this time, Nero would definitely be affected. ]

【That's not what you want to see. 】

The night before leaving, Ian lay in bed, thinking about what else he had not told Nero.

And just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Although he didn't really want to receive guests at this time, Ian still shouted in the direction of the door.

"Who?"

"It's me, Mr. Seneca. Can you come in now?"

That was Nero's voice.

After hesitating for a moment, Ian agreed to her request.

"Well, come in."

With a click, the door opened.

Nero, wearing clothes so thin that his body could be seen clearly, appeared in Ian's sight.

But the man is no longer surprised by this - she always looks cute and sexy in front of him.

"Nero, what's wrong?"

"Teacher." Nero looked troubled, "I can't sleep."

"Eh?"

Ian was a little surprised.

After all, he rarely saw Nero suffering from insomnia - even when her father passed away, she was sleeping soundly.

"Teacher, can I sit next to you?" Nero asked again.

"of course can."

Ian sat up and made room for Nero to sit down.

"Nero, what's wrong with you?"

"Um..." Nero looked at his teacher, his green eyes filled with worry.

"Teacher, do you remember that I am going to give a speech at the Senate?"

"Of course," Ian nodded, "This is the opportunity your mother fought for."

"Hmm..." Nero's voice became a little quieter.

"I'm a little worried that I'm going to waste this opportunity."

"..."

【You suddenly realized something. 】

[That is, as he grows older, Nero's immature cognition is gradually becoming mature. 】

[Compared to her confident appearance when she was a child, she has become a little hesitant now because of the heavy workload of studying. ]

[This is not a good thing - at least not for being an emperor.]

【You realize that as a teacher, you cannot just sit back and watch this happen. 】

"Why would you worry about something like this?"

Ian patted Nero's head.

Although she has matured a lot, her hair is still as soft and smooth as ever, like the finest wool.

"Did you not make any preparations?"

"No, it's not!" Nero shook his head again and again, "I have been preparing for this since the day my mother told me!"

"I have already—"

“I’ve tried my best!”

Knowing that Nero would not lie about such things, Ian continued to ask.

"In that case, what do you have to worry about?"

"Is it because you feel that your status is not high enough, or something else? I think that kind of worry is meaningless."

"No, not that." Nero continued to shake his head.

"What is that?" Now it was Ian's turn to be curious.

"I..." The girl raised her head and looked at the teacher in front of her. Only his figure was reflected in her eyes.

"I'm afraid of embarrassing you."

"..."

Ian was stunned at first, then he laughed.

He knew that was exactly what she would think.

"I see--"

"Then Nero, do you know what the teacher thinks of this speech?"

Ian reached out and gently stroked Nero's fair and smooth cheek, comforting her tenderly.

"I...think this is my chance to make a name for myself—because you'd definitely give a pretty good speech, wouldn't you?"

"..."

Nero's pupils dilated slightly in an instant.

Obviously, the encouragement from the teacher gave her great motivation.

"Teacher... do you really think so?"

"Of course." Ian nodded.

"Nero, don't forget what you said seven years ago - you want to be the emperor of Rome and win the respect of everyone."

"If that's the case, the teacher will of course believe you, so please believe in yourself as well."

"Hmm!"

Nero regained his former confidence.

"Teacher, you are right--!"
