"Nero, you ......"

I stared blankly at the girl in front of me, a face that was so beautiful that I could hardly imagine the perfect face that existed in the world.

Her words couldn't be more correct, and Nero could be said to have fulfilled the ultimate fantasy of all men.

Beautiful face, great figure, elegant manners, playful character......

If an ordinary woman can meet any of these conditions, it is enough to cause a sensation and attract the love and pursuit of countless people of the opposite sex.

However, Nero met all of the above criteria.

Not only that, but she was even the emperor of the Roman Empire, the most glorious country in human history, with unimaginable power in her hands.

Such a girl, but she just asks to be a lover......

I couldn't help but shake my head.

The man who accepted her conditions was probably jealous even from the heavens, and a lightning bolt blew him into scum on the spot.

"Performer, Yu is serious, do you think Yu is joking?" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Nero's tone was slightly urging, "Performer, you are too careful, Yu may like to play in other aspects, but he is 100% serious about his feelings!" This is the first time Yu has ever expressed his love to the opposite sex......"

"No...... Not the question, Nero your attitude of course I believe. I smiled wryly and raised my hand and said, "But...... Why do you have to look for me? Or someone who already has a sweetheart......"

"Alas...... Yu also regretted that he didn't come to the world earlier, so that Qing would be completely monopolized, so that Qing's heart would always belong to Yu alone. Nero also looked remorseful, "But it has happened, and being late is being late, so I have to accept the reality and become the lover of the performer." This loss is within the acceptable range......"

I couldn't help but rub my temples.

For Nero, reasoning is impossible in any way, because it doesn't make sense.

"That...... I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request under any circumstances. I sighed and bent deeply toward Nero, "I'm so grateful...... Your Majesty, your favor, but if you can't do it, you can't do it......"

"Huh...... Eh, is this a change of name to Your Majesty? When Nero heard this, the whole person immediately panicked, "Don't, Yu still wants the listener to call Yu's name more!" It's called Nero! Nero! ”

"I'm sorry...... Between us...... There is no special relationship in the first place, and it would be offensive to be commensurate with the name. I shook my head firmly, keeping a bent posture, "So even if Your Majesty wants to blame, I can only continue to call you Your Majesty." That's the normal way to get along. ”

"Ah......hh Really! Nero clutched at his hair in annoyance, "What a brainless performer! Why don't you understand Yu Xiangqing's feelings? ”

"Yes, I can't understand it, and ...... ......I gritted my teeth and said, "So, please don't beat my mind anymore." Such...... It's going to bother me......"

When I said this, I began to regret it in my heart.

Such words to reject a girl who sincerely confides in me are too cruel and inhumane.

But......

For Artoria's sake, even if it would hurt Nero, there was nothing it could do.

Yes, the best of both worlds does not exist in the world. Choosing to redeem one or the other is tantamount to giving up the other.

Later, if Nero is angry, I can only hope that Merlin can help save me......

——

There was silence.

"The performer is saying...... I...... Causing trouble for Qing? ”

In the middle of the night, Nero muttered.

Every word is like a dream, and it is stated in disbelief.

“……”

I was silent and lowered my head.

"Yu understood, Yu ...... There will be no more persecution. ”

Shaking his head as if silently, Nero let out a somewhat sad voice.

I'm sorry...... I'm really sorry......

In my heart, I don't know how many times I silently apologized to the girl in front of me.

Then, I mustered up the courage to straighten up and prepare to face her again.

For a moment, I imagined countless expressions on Nero's face at this moment.

Loss, sadness, anger, sadness, sighing......

In short, it will definitely not be a good-looking, reassuring face.

In any case, think of some words to comfort her.

But—

“……”

The moment I saw Nero's expression, my mouth was closed.

Is it some surreal unfolding? There was not a hint of gloom on Nero's face.

On the contrary, she smiled brightly like never before, shining like the sun and making it impossible to look at it directly.

"Hmm Qing's loyal attitude towards love fully proves that Yu's vision is not wrong! Nero smiled happily, his head lit up like a rattle, "This is the first time in Yu's life that he has been rejected by the opposite sex in person, and the performer is really the best man in the world, enough to be entrusted by Yu for life!" ”

"Your Majesty, you ......" I felt my head grow.

"Alright, don't call Your Majesty Yu anymore, call Nero! Nero! Nero stomped his feet again and again, raising his voice, "Yu did agree to Qing and no longer forced Qing to accept Yu as a lover." But as a price for compromise, the performer will have to call Yu by his name every time from now on! No other honorifics or embellishments! ”

“…… Is this a compromise? "I couldn't stop laughing.

"Well, this is a decision made by Yu under the extreme pain, suppressed the desire as powerful as the three-headed dog of hell Cerberus!" Nero looked at me very seriously, "Attention, Yu's request is, no matter when and where, whether it is public or private, even in front of the Knight King, as long as Yu is mentioned, Yu's name must be directly called - Nero!" ”

"It's too hard for a strong man......"

"It doesn't matter if the performer finds it difficult...... Rome has spies all over the world, and the next step is to give them the most important task - to keep an eye on the secretary day and night! Nero raised a finger solemnly and said, "Next, as long as Yu is informed that Qing uses a pronoun or other title when referring to Yu at any time and place, even if it is a dream talk, Yu will immediately, immediately, without hesitation, rush to Qing's side and become Qing's lover!" Do you understand? ”

"Understood...... Understand, I promise to keep the promise! ”

Looking at Nero's resolute look, I had nothing to do but smile wryly and nod my head again and again.

With her willful and reckless behavior, I am afraid that she can really do such a thing in a hurry. The point is, I can't stop her at all......

So, Artoria's hunch before leaving was indeed right.

- Nero, really a troublesome opponent.
