In the palace, Nero, who had finished the procession, began to do nothing.

Since today is the day of celebration of the enthronement, things about work have been piled up for tomorrow.

"If it's Qi Wuceqing, it should be easy to help Yu share most of the burden."

With this in mind, Nero changed into a crisp white toga robe and headed for Qi Wuce's former residence.

Pushing open the door of the courtyard, as always, a burst of floral fragrance wafted into his nose, and Nero, who was relaxed for a while, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed even the pressure of carrying the burden tomorrow.

"Qi Wuceqing, cheer for those who can spare time in their busy schedules!"

“……”

There was no one in the deserted dwelling to answer Nero's enthusiasm.

"No, it can't be like this, Yu would never believe that kind of thing happened."

Thinking back to the back of the person who had turned away during the procession, a bad thought immediately appeared in Nero's mind.

"Hmm, Yu came to see you!"

I slammed open the bedroom door, but the simple room was already empty.

"Is it actually a goodbye......

Sadness welled up in his heart, and he stood in the middle of the room in a daze, tears running down his cheeks.

"Yo yo yo, I just came here and had to see this amazing scene, you won't want to kill me, right?"

A flirtatious voice rang in his ears, and Nero suddenly stopped his tears and looked back at the door in joy.

The figure that was the same as Qi Wuce was leaning against the edge of the door, looking at her with a pair of smiling eyes.

"Hmm!"

The sadness disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the happy smile resurfaced on the surface.

"Wait, Qi Wuceqing, when did you change into a bright red robe? Remember, you don't really like this kind of outstanding color. ”

Approaching, Nero pulled the fabric from his garment and looked at it carefully.

"Uh-huh! It's a very rare material, and the rest of the knowledge will be completely unrecognizable. ”

was grabbed by Nero's clothes, and the figure that seemed to be helpless was quite helpless.

"You may not believe it, but I'm sorry, I'm not the one you know."

Feeling the loosening of his clothes, the seemingly helpless person looked down and happened to see Nero with a look of disbelief.

"Qi Wuceqing, are you talking to Yu about any boring jokes...... No, Qi Wuceqing's jokes are never boring, so ...... Could it be a fever? ”

With a muttering in her mouth, Nero stood on tiptoe and was about to reach out to touch Qi Wuce's forehead, but unfortunately her petite figure couldn't reach Qi Wuce's forehead of one meter nine at all.

"I'm sorry, I'm not him, but we're the same person, and the name Qi Wuce is only used by him, and only he can use it."

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Nero finally failed to sort out the meaning of Qi Wuce's words.

"Hmm...... Could it be that Qing is too tired from work these days? If you are so tired that you are confused, you must have a good rest, otherwise Yu will be sad. ”

emmmm……

Because Nero didn't know what to say, Qi Wuce didn't know how to reply for a while.

"Alas...... Sure enough, his worries were not unreasonable. ”

"Your Majesty Nero, that guy shouldn't have let you get in touch with the mysterious side of the system when he was still there, right?"

"Well, that's true, because Yu has so much to learn, and Yu really can't spare more time for things on the mysterious side."

Nero realized his shortcomings and began to be cautious.

"That's right, that guy was worried about you before leaving, afraid that the emperor who didn't know magic would one day be ousted from the throne and usher in death in the dark court struggle......"

"It was because of this concern that I asked him to come over."

It's still the smiling expression, and there is only the nature of tenderness between the words. It's obviously a good and unpretentious feeling, but it feels a little weird in Nero's eyes.

"So, what should Yu call you?"

"The code name is Simon, and it is okay to pronounce it as Simon as a first name, if the surname is ...... Magis. ”

"Just call me Simon Magis."

Simon said to Nero in a tone that had not changed from the beginning.

"Simon? Since it was commissioned by Qi Wuceqing...... Hmmm! Then Yu will appoint you as Yu's court magician! ”

Reluctantly patted Simon on the shoulder, remembering Qi Wuce's care for him, Nero's mood became a lot better.

"So, when will Qi Wuceqing come back?"

Nero looked at Simon and asked the question she wanted most.

"He's not coming back, as I literally say, he's asking me before leaving, and this death ...... before leaving"

In the face of Simon's outspokenness, Nero was silent again, and the news of Qi Wuce's death was too shocking for her.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to grieve. You still have a chance to say goodbye. ”

"Wait a minute! Didn't you just say he was dead? ”

"Yes, he is indeed dead in this plane, but Your Majesty, you must know that there is another existence called Heroic Spirit in this world."

A new term appeared in Simon's words that caught Nero's attention.

No, it wasn't so much that he was attracted by something new, but that it was the news that he was able to reunite with Qi Wuce that made Nero care more.

"The so-called Heroic Soul is a higher being that is sublimated after death by a person whose exploits during his life make the world fearful, if nothing else, Your Majesty Nero, you should have the opportunity to become a Heroic Spirit."

Simon said that it was inevitable that Nero would become a heroic spirit in the future, so it would not be too much of a problem for him to bring this concept in front of Nero now.

"Heroic Spirit? Yu understood! Ximen, from what you just said, Yu can already confirm that you are definitely not Qi Wuceqing, if it is Qi Wuceqing, you will not use the word 'chance' to describe Yu! ”

"Qi Wuce said to Yu himself, 'If Your Highness makes up your mind, then you will definitely be able to do it', Yu Zhi's talent is like stars in the sky, not only bright, but also beyond the reach of others in their lifetimes."

The flower of Rome swayed her confidence, and the dazzling light made even everyone Romans look sideways.

"You are talking about it, Your Majesty."

There was no refutation of Nero's accusations, because Simon clearly knew that he was indeed no longer helpless, and that the emotions he had retained had begun to fade little by little a long time ago.

Now he may be able to smile at people, or he may be able to speak gentle words, but it is only because the residual emotions affect him.

"Speaking of which, before he left, he asked me to give a gift to His Majesty on his behalf."

"Oh! Yu knew that Qi Wuceqing would never break his word. ”

I thought that Qi Wuce would leave and stop the matter about the gift, but I never thought that the other party would bring this surprise to her.

"This sword is called the Primordial Fire."

While reciting the name of the sword, Simon secretly expressed his disdain for someone in his heart.
