[In a sense, this is actually a counterattack against the future that the man called Leif told you. ]

[“Nero will never become a tyrant no matter what!”]

[You set this bottom line for yourself in your heart. ]

[Keeping this thought in mind, you continue to show Boudica the power of Rome. ]

【You brought her to the square.】

[At this moment, many performers are gathered here, presenting their unique art to the passing guests. ]

"Please play me one of your best songs."

"Yes, Mr. Seneca."

After receiving the invitation from the sage, the player picked up his tuba without hesitation and began to play - this was a rare invitation from a big shot, and he said he must seize this opportunity to become famous.

A burst of excited voices soon rang out in the square.

Soon, idle people came over one after another and began to enjoy the wonderful sound together. The atmosphere around them suddenly became a lot more lively because of this.

Ian took Boudica to the other side.

Thinking of what happened just now, he quickly changed the way he asked:

"Boudica, there should be music like this in Britannia, right?"

"Yes, there is..."

Boudica raised her head and looked at the people gathered nearby.

"It's just that our singing isn't as relaxed as yours, nor does it sound as good as yours, and we don't have... such a comfortable environment like you to appreciate it."

This wasn't Boudica trying to please Ian.

But this is the situation in Britannia.

She could never have imagined that Rome, which seemed to be fighting a tense battle with her, would be so relaxed in its imperial capital, as if it was not affected at all.

"Of course."

Ian continued with that proud tone.

"You must know that our Majesty is not a tyrant, but a man who knows what art is."

"It's like the square full of music now, Boudica, guess where it came from?"

"..."

Recalling the previous market, the Queen of Britannia soon had the answer.

"It was Nero who arranged this, right?"

"That's right." Ian smiled.

"This is a measure initiated by His Majesty. The purpose is to allow people with musical talent to have a chance to showcase themselves, rather than being drowned in work that does not belong to them."

"Just like the one just now——"

Ian looked at himself who had already been surrounded at this moment.

“He came from a poor family, but his talent for music was like that of a giant.”

“If you force him to work, you will only get some worthless defective products; but if you let him compose music, he can make every chapter extremely moving.”

"Boudica, this is your Majesty's Rome - it will never disappoint any talented person."

"..."

Listening to the song that came into her ears and looking at the performer who was surrounded by the crowd with a happy look on his face, Boudica felt as if something deep in her heart was deeply touched.

She began to think about why she rebelled in the first place.

correct.

Is it to allow the people of Britannia to live a life free from tyranny?

It was a terrible life when you had to pay taxes no matter what you did and had to spend most of the land's output to feed the Roman army.

That's not a life for human beings.

but--

Now it has been confirmed that it was a misunderstanding, right?

In fact, the young Roman emperor never intended to harm the people of Britannia from beginning to end. All the disasters originated from her vicious mother.

So--

There is no need for me to pursue so-called independence anymore, right?

Isn't the good life that I am pursuing, belonging to the people of Britannia, right in front of me now?

Great...finally no more fighting.

It's time to rest.

Just as Boudica was thinking this, the voice just now came to her ears again.

Only this time, his tone was full of pride.

"Humph, you big-breasted girl, do you know how powerful Yu's Rome is?"

"Umm, surrender now and stop clinging to my husband!"

"Ok?"

Boudica looked around but found nothing - this time, the other party seemed to have hidden better than last time.

"Boudica, what happened to you?"

"Nothing." Boudica turned around.

"Seneca, no, Mr. Seneca—please let me see more of the place, if you can."

"..."

A satisfied smile appeared on Ian's face.

What he wanted was someone like Boudica who sincerely wanted to understand the state of Rome.

It was a matter of destiny—no one could refuse to become a glorified Roman unless he was already dead.

"No problem, Boudica."

"Let me further demonstrate to you the power of Rome."

[Boudica's heart knot was untied. 】

[She began to actually visit Rome under Nero as a guest.]

[And you generously showed her the Roman army, baths, and even the magic that should have been hidden.]

[Soon, the Queen of Britannia realized what a powerful enemy she was facing.]

[“This is a country blessed by Mars.”]

[Boudica expressed such emotion. ]

[You know your plan has been a great success - knowing how powerful Rome is, she will never do anything rebellious again.]

【This is the best way to stabilize Britannia.】

[You just don't understand why Boudica keeps looking back, but that doesn't seem to matter.]

but--

Ian didn't expect that after visiting the Roman army, Boudica would suddenly come to his side.

As the man was wondering what she was up to, the Queen of Britannia asked a rather strange question.

"I say, has your Majesty not chosen his husband yet?"

"Ah?" Ian became nervous. "Boudica, why are you asking this?"

"nothing."

Boudica smiled.

"I just think you look like her lover~"

418. Boudica's Face-to-Face Attack/Forced Public Relationship/Amulet (4k)

[Boudica's joking words hit the deepest secrets in your heart.]

[You never expected that the Queen from Britannia would say such words to you at this time.]

[You should know that although you took her to visit many places in Rome, you never mentioned anything about your private affairs with Nero.]

[Because you know this is a secret that must never be mentioned.]

【So--】

[How did Boudica know this? ]

Are you trying to scare yourself?

Ian couldn't help but have more speculations like this in his mind.

If that's the case...it's better to never admit it.

"Boudica, please don't joke like that."

"Although the situation is the same as you said, His Majesty has not publicly announced her significant other so far."

"But that doesn't mean I'm her lover—that's simply impossible."

"Your Majesty is currently focusing on Rome and has not yet had time to deal with his own lifelong affairs."

"In time, when Rome prospers, she will surely resolve the matter cleanly and efficiently."

"..."

After listening to Ian's explanation, Boudica looked meaningfully at the man who was called a sage by many citizens in Rome, and there was a hint of smile in the queen's beautiful emerald eyes.

"Pfft-"

Boudica laughed.

"I say, Seneca, your lying skills are really terrible. It's obvious at a glance that what you say is not true at all."

"Well..." Britannia's queen put her hands on her hips and said in a sad tone, "I thought we had a pretty good relationship."

“Now it seems that we are still far away.”

"..."

Boudica's words left Ian unable to refute for a moment.

After all, I was lying.

But why does Boudica have the confidence at this moment?

Although he had no idea what was going on, the man knew he couldn't just remain silent - that would be the same as tacit agreement.

"Boudica, of course we are friends."

"but--"

"You should. This kind of thing is not true from the beginning. My status is totally unworthy of our Majesty. No matter what you say, I can't admit it."

"So... please stop saying that. It will really bother me."

"You're still lying."

Boudica counterattacked mercilessly.

"If you're like this, I'm going to have to use some really unfriendly methods."

"..."

[Boudica's tone is very confident.]

You realize that she must have some information that you don't know.

[But compared to this, you know that hiding the relationship between you and Nero is more important. ]
