The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

"If you and Nero are in any trouble, tell it."

"I will do everything I can to get to you and Nero as soon as I hear about it."

[Boudica's visit to Rome ends with her giving you an amulet.]

[Knowing the truth, she explained to Nero the reason for leaving that kiss on your face - it was a ritual tradition of Britannia since ancient times.]

[Although Nero reluctantly accepted this statement, he also decided to punish you severely. ]

[“Teacher, tonight you must be like a lion and stay with me until dawn.”]

[That was the night when you suffered the most casualties.]

[Because Nero treats you like her favorite drink—she wants to suck you clean, leaving nothing behind.]

【But you are happy about it. 】

[After all, Britannia's problem has finally been perfectly solved. 】

[But fate doesn't seem to want to let you go just like that. ]

【When winter comes, your condition begins to become uncontrollable. 】

419. Nero's Game Challenge / The Mature Emperor / Winter (4k)

[There is no snow in Rome in winter, only biting cold wind and indescribable chill. ]

[The wound left by Agrippina begins to spread inside your body at an unimaginable speed.]

[This is a vicious curse that should have fallen on Nero, but now you have taken it on her behalf.]

【but--】

【You are not sad or upset about this. 】

[Because you once made the most sincere oath to yourself - that is to protect Nero no matter what. ]

[This is not only my responsibility as a teacher, but also my duty as her husband. ]

[And compared to the curse that is tormenting you at this moment, you are more worried about something else. ]

[That is the tyrant prophecy from Leif.]

[Nero would become a tyrant - is this really possible? ]

It's another early morning.

Ian held a spot on his shoulder—the spot where Agrippina had stabbed him.

Although it didn't seem serious on the surface, the man knew that the real problem was in the part of the curse that had seeped into his body.

Perhaps my own life has already become a candle in the wind.

Who knows, when you open your eyes one day, the god representing death may be waiting for you.

Just as Ian was feeling sad and taking deep breaths of cold air, there was a knock on the door.

The man restrained his emotions and then asked towards the door.

"who is it?"

"It's Yu." The answer came quickly, "Teacher, Yu is here to see you."

[Because your condition is more serious than you thought. ]

[Nero temporarily stopped the date that he was supposed to go on every night.]

[But instead, Nero came to see you every morning in the name of the emperor. ]

[This is the emperor's emphasis on his trusted ministers, and no one dares to question it.]

"It's Nero."

Hearing the voice of concern, Ian felt a little better and he quickly replied:

"The door is unlocked, come in."

With a click, the door was pushed open.

Only Nero came in - this was not surprising, she didn't like sharing her teacher with others, so naturally she wouldn't let anyone come with her at a time like this.

At this moment, the girl's expression was full of worry.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

"Of course I'm fine." Ian forced a smile, "Nero, please don't use that tone, it's as if the teacher is going to die soon."

"..."

"That's right." Nero sat down beside Ian's bed and gently held his hand. "I'm sure the teacher will be fine as usual."

"..."

Hearing this, Ian felt his heart sink, as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on it.

but--

Can't show it.

Otherwise, Nero would definitely be sad with me.

"Of course - how could the teacher fall down?" Ian gently stroked Nero's soft golden hair, "The teacher still wants to see Nero become the best emperor of Rome."

"What's going on now? During the time I was away, those old guys in the Senate didn't do anything out of line, right?"

Feeling that his teacher seemed to have recovered well, Nero's originally nervous mood gradually eased.

She shook her head happily, and then began to describe what had happened in the past few days.

"Not at all - the teacher's previous move already scared these people a lot."

"Now, no matter what I say, they will just say 'yes, yes, yes'. No one dares to disobey my orders."

"Really?" Ian smiled. "Is the situation so good now? The teacher is really happy for you."

"Hmm~" Nero became more and more excited.

She looked at the man and spoke her true feelings.

"In fact, the teacher should take a break like this for a while. After all, I don't need the teacher to worry about everything now, right?"

"Oh? Nero, are you already so confident?"

"..."

"This is not a question of self-confidence." Nero looked at the man in front of him who was obviously much more haggard, and his green eyes were filled with heartache.

"During the time when the teacher was away, I felt firsthand how many problems the teacher had shared with me."

"If Yu had realized this earlier, the teacher wouldn't have fallen ill because of it, right?"

The girl's eyes were filled with self-blame and sadness. It was obvious that after thinking for the past few days, she had attributed all the problems to herself.

Although this might indeed be one explanation of the truth, Ian didn't want to see Nero sad.

After all...isn't it Nero's smile that I like more?

"My illness has nothing to do with you, Nero." The man comforted him, "You don't have to blame yourself so much."

“Obviously they are related!”

The girl's expression became more and more guilty.

"The teacher before was never like this. It was only after I became the emperor that the teacher gradually started to become like this!"

"It's just the weather - it's nothing to do with you, really."

"Besides -"

The man held the girl in his arms and whispered softly in her ear.

"The teacher actually gets more happiness from you, doesn't he?"

"Nero, I have never met another girl in my life who makes my heart beat as fast as you do."

"So - stop saying you're a burden to me. That's impossible."

"Teacher, I never think that doing things for you is a burden. It is a blessing that I could never ask for."

"..."

[Your words left a deep impression on Nero.]

[She realizes her position in your heart, and knows that if she continues to blame herself, it will make you feel bored.]

[Just as you don't want to make her sad, she doesn't want to make you sad either.]

"Hmm, that's what it is!"

Nero wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes due to sadness, and then showed his energetic look again.

"It seems that the teacher has indeed been tamed by Yu and turned into a slave."

"You're clearly doing a heavy job for me, but you insist on saying you're happy - my charm is off the charts, right?"

"...That's right."

Ian responded to Nero's words very cooperatively.

"If you performed an opera or something in Rome, there would be a lot of people who would like to listen, right?"

"Of course." Nero replied confidently, "Yu's performance will be sold out no matter what."

"But now——"

The girl looked at the man in front of her.

"Hmm, I would rather play the instrument that the teacher brought out earlier."

"Teacher, do you think it's okay?"

"..."

Feeling the direction of Nero's gaze, Ian knew that there was another meaning in her words - or rather, this was what she originally wanted to express.

If you think about it carefully, this is not difficult to understand.

Including today, Nero hasn't enjoyed the happiest thing when the two of them are dating for half a month.

You know... at this age, her favorite way to express love is this kind of passionate love.

Not to mention holding it in for half a month, even just a week without this experience would probably make her feel very uncomfortable.

but--

Ian was not overwhelmed by Nero's initiative.

"Of course the teacher doesn't mind."

"But Nero, don't forget that you still have to go to the Senate to listen to their report later... I don't think it's a good idea to do this before then."

"Hmm~"

Nero wiggled his fingers gently.

"Teacher, you don't understand this - I like every part of you, no matter what it originally was."

"Teacher, do you understand what I mean?"

"..."

After hearing this, Ian was still a little confused.

He felt that the other party wanted to do something very fancy, but he couldn't think of what it would be for a moment.

"Nero, just speak frankly - the teacher can't guess what you mean."

"Hmm, I have to say it out loud, the teacher really likes to bully me!"

Despite saying this, Nero did not refuse to explain the riddle he had just given to Ian.

She temporarily let go of the man's hand, then walked to the round table beside her, picked up the wine glass on it, and then had a new expression.

"Teacher... do you know when wine tastes its best?"

"This……"
