"Do you...want to be the emperor of Rome?"

"..."

Realizing that it was Ian who was encouraging him, the fire in Nero's heart that had been extinguished by reality began to burn again.

She nodded, and then said very seriously: "Of course I want to be the emperor of Rome!"

"Very good, this is the Nero I know."

“Don’t worry that you can’t solve these problems—the teacher will definitely help you.”

"Umm~ I know!"

"But then again—" Nero looked down at the man, his face slightly red.

"I... don't think I've ever tried any other methods."

"How about giving it a try today?"

"May I?"

"Of course." Ian glanced at the slate beside him and said, "Nero, this is my gift to you - congratulations, you have finally become the emperor of Rome as you wished."

"Hmm~ Then I'll have to feel it well."

【You taught Nero a good lesson. 】

[You two are in love again.]

[Finally, a white rose bloomed in the Roman baths - it was as beautiful as the rose and made your heart beat just as fast.]

[This experience also made Nero begin to doubt whether he should relax a little bit because of his obsession. ]

【But these are all your private secrets. 】

【Nero, who had grasped the current situation in Rome, began to issue a series of policies that were beneficial to the people in the name of the emperor. 】

[These include measures to deal with forged wills, and to limit the upper limit of defense fees in lawsuits, in order to prevent the powerful from using the law to exploit the common people unequally.]

【This is an unprecedented situation.】

[The enthusiasm of the people was quickly aroused, and for a while they were vying for work.]

【But not everyone supports such behavior. 】

【On this day, Agrippina came to you. 】

402. Nero's oath under the moon/Increasingly tense situation/Mysterious visitor (4k)

[You knew this day would come sooner or later.]

[After all, Nero's reforms did not fall in the direction of favoring the nobility - this was something that no emperor before her had ever attempted.]

【But as Nero's teacher, you know this is a decision she made after careful consideration. 】

[No matter what, you must stand by her side. ]

【With this thought in mind, you came to Agrippina's room. 】

As Nero's biological mother, after her daughter became the youngest emperor in Roman history, her status also rose and she became a regent queen in a sense.

Thanks to this identity, Agrippina's behavior became more and more rampant.

The tone she used towards other people on a daily basis could be described as extremely impolite, and she exuded an indescribable arrogance inside and out.

At this moment, Agrippina, who was sitting in the room, was shaking the glass of red wine and asked as if questioning:

"Seneca, you should know that Nero has recently issued a series of policies, right?"

"Yes, ma'am." Ian nodded. "After all, Her Majesty has many wonderful ideas. If she doesn't verify them one by one, she will never stop."

"But some of the plans are obviously not right, right?"

Agrippina looked at Ian, her mud-like eyes revealing a hint of venom.

"It's fine if Nero doesn't know, but as a teacher, can't you notice it?"

"..."

You are not stupid.

[When Agrippina said these words, you realized that she was targeting the starting point of Nero's policy.]

[The Roman emperor should have favored the interests of the nobles instead of considering the common people.]

【But this is exactly what you want to bring up today. 】

"Madam, I do notice that your Majesty's policies are a little different."

Ian met Agrippina's chilling gaze.

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with what your majesty has done - at least not so far."

"..."

Agrippina sneered.

"Seneca, what makes you think so? Just because Nero is the one you like, does that mean everything she does is right?"

"..."

"If you think so, Madam, I have no way to change it." Ian replied modestly, "But in fact, the people of Rome are very supportive of your Majesty's policies, aren't they?"

This is not a fact Ian fabricated to refute Agrippina.

In fact, in the month since Nero issued his new policy, the city's people's favorability towards her has skyrocketed.

Poems or articles praising her were often passed around the city of Rome and then recorded.

This was the treatment her father Claudius had never received, but now it was blooming like a rose on the land of Rome.

"What's the point of their support!" Agrippina shouted sternly, "Seneca, don't you forget who the foundation of Rome is?! If this continues... there will definitely be problems!

"Madam, are you questioning His Majesty's choice?" Ian asked back.

"So what if I question it?"

Agrippina drank the red wine in her glass.

"Seneca, don't forget - Nero is only seventeen years old. All her choices are immature and full of childish thoughts."

"If you agree with her, it would be equivalent to destroying the country of Rome!"

"No ma'am," Ian shook his head.

"You know so little about Her Majesty—you have no idea how much she has worked to be worthy of the title of Roman Emperor."

"What's the point of working in the wrong direction?!" Agrippina shouted again.

It can be seen that she strongly disagrees with Ian's idea.

But the man was equally unmoved.

He who loved her had witnessed Nero’s changes along the way - she was working hard!

"No, ma'am, I assure you that it is not the wrong direction, and I hope you can trust your majesty."

"..."

"..."

Ian and Agrippina looked at each other, and their gradually diverging gazes told of the conflict between them.

"Seneca—are you going to side with Nero no matter what?"

"Yes, ma'am, I am always on the same side as your majesty."

"Heh." Agrippina sneered, "Then I hope you are lucky and capable enough to deal with everything that comes next - not just the sexual desire of your lower body."

"of course."

[You and Agrippina have had a very serious disagreement.]

【You know a political struggle is inevitable. 】

[The backing of the gifted emperor has been obtained: You have become the most powerful supporter of Nero's reforms, which will change your choices in many moments in the future. ]

[You realize that this is not something you can handle alone.]

[You want to talk to Nero about this.]

[You——need her help. ]

late at night.

Ian and Nero walked hand in hand along the walls of Rome.

No one would come here to disturb them at this time, so it was the best time for a tryst.

The bright moonlight shines through the green cracks in the city wall, reflecting waves of rugged terrain that look like lake light.

Nero had always been good at appreciating such beautiful things, and this made her feel much better.

"Teacher, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight~"

"……Yes."

"Hmm~" The girl pointed to the moon in the sky, "If only I could use my status as an emperor to make the moon look this beautiful every night--!"

Ian laughed at this simple yet unrealistic wish.

"Nero, that's not realistic."

"If you really did that, you would not be an emperor, but a god."

"The teacher finally smiled~"

Nero grabbed Ian's hand and used her proud breasts to rub him like a lover.

"I thought this kind of thing wouldn't make the teacher happy - after all, the teacher has always seemed to be worried lately."

"..."

Ian was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.

Just like what Nero said before - because he cares from the bottom of his heart, he can quickly notice even the smallest changes.

Just when Ian was deeply touched, the young emperor spoke again.

"Teacher...are you hiding something from me?"

"if you can--"

The girl stopped and looked at the man holding her hand with deep affection, her eyes filled with infinite attachment to him.

"Please tell me everything."

"..."

[Nero's needs at this moment are completely consistent with your ideas. ]

[You didn't hesitate any longer.]

[You told her what Nero's mother Agrippina said.]

"This……"

Nero never expected that his mother would say such a thing about him in private.

"Teacher, are you kidding me?"

"Is Yu's decision a joke in her mind?"

"Nero, I also want to tell you that this is fake." Ian sighed, trying to suppress his inner resentment.

"But unfortunately—"

“This is all true.”

"Your mother is quite dissatisfied with what you have done in recent times."

"..."

Nero was silent at first, and it was obvious that he felt very sad about his mother's denial.

But soon, she let out a long breath and cheered up.
