"Hmm...... Indeed, since the Secretary is not yet a Roman citizen, then for the time being it is not possible to give a reward to the Secretary according to the standards of citizenship......" Nero said with some embarrassment, "although it is not impossible to let the Secretary take the oath of citizenship on the spot...... But if you don't know anything about Rome, Ling Qing rashly swearing is really not a way of hospitality. ”

"Well, so please keep this reward for the next Roman citizen who has made outstanding contributions in the future." I breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to walk off the stage.

Although I met Emperor Nero by accident, it is clear that this is not the opportunity to speak alone.

You might as well wait until she finishes the performance, and then report it separately with a letter in hand.

However, before my plan could be implemented, a slender red arm blocked the way.

"Why is Qing in such a hurry to leave, could it be that being with Yu makes Qing feel very unhappy?"

Nero seemed unconvinced, and if I didn't give her a satisfactory answer, I wouldn't give up.

"This ...... It's really not the time, so ......"

I scratched my head and smiled wryly.

"Oh, I see, I see......" Nero looked down at my face and smiled evilly, "Qing is a man after all, and it is inevitable that you will feel nervous and uncomfortable when you come into contact with a beautiful woman like Yu, who looks like Venus, the god of beauty." Uh-huh, well-off, Yu fully understands, understands! ”

"Please don't speculate on other people's minds and believe it easily......"

"Well, because the Qing is not a Roman citizen, the reward really cannot be given to the Qing." Nero raised his arm and cleared his throat with it to his lips, "However, Rome is also a country of great etiquette, especially for guests from afar. In this case, today it is up to Yu Lai to personally extend a welcome to the Qing with the highest courtesy in Rome! ”

"You...... What to do? ”

Seeing the more stretched and exaggerated body posture of the girl in front of him, for some reason an ominous premonition rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Of course...... Let's dance! Nero grinned and bent down slightly in front of me, "As compensation for Qing's inability to receive a reward, allow Qing and Yu to dance together!" ”

Boom ——!

Nero's words fell, and they immediately caused a sensation in the audience.

"No, Your Majesty, how can your holy and noble body be touched by others?"

"Your Majesty, you are the most beautiful goddess in the world, and any man who comes into contact with you is an intolerable stain!"

"Don't trust those unknown ones, Your Majesty Nero!"

The audience below cried out in tears.

"Your Majesty, please replace me! As long as I can dance with you, I can not ...... all the rewards just now No, I can hand over all my possessions to the palace and just want to dance with you!" ”

Several people on the stage also begged again and again, eager to kneel down and pull the girl's skirt.

"You don't have to be like this, this is a welcome etiquette specially prepared for guests from afar." Nero, however, reassured, "But what is left to apologize is nothing compared to the reward given to you." How could Yu use this kind of vain courtesy to casually send away the secretaries? ”

"Your Majesty Nero, we're just ......"

Several people struggled to say something.

"Okay, this is what Yu has decided, and to refute it is to disobey the order of the Roman emperor." Nero shook his head, "If things develop to that point, you all know very well what the consequences will be." ”

"Hmm......"

Several of them closed their mouths helplessly.

"Then, guests from afar, now Yu gives Qing the honor of dancing with Yu. Now, take Yu's hand! ”

Nero stooped down in front of me with great grace and raised his slender hand gently in front of me.

“…… Running out of options? I asked with a wry smile.

It was embarrassing, I had promised Artoria before I left that I would not have any physical contact with Emperor Nero.

As a result, it is now necessary to do the symbolic act of holding hands......

"Well, this is an order from the Roman Emperor!" Nero had an incomparably bright smile on his face, "So Qing can't escape today." ”

"That...... Our local custom is that you should not touch the hands of unmarried women, otherwise you will be punished with capital punishment......"

Scratching my head, I tried to make a final struggle.

"Hmm...... Qing's eyes are dodging, and his words don't seem to be smooth, aren't he lying? When Nero heard this, his turquoise eyes narrowed slightly, and he fixed his eyes on my face.

"I ......" I was embarrassed.

Sure enough, am I the kind of person who was born to never lie and will have a hard time learning it for the rest of my life......

"It doesn't matter, even if Qing really comes from a harsh place with such conservative etiquette, but now Qing is in Rome." Nero smiled lightly at this time, relieving my anxiety, "There is a good proverb: when you are in Rome, you have to act like the Romans. Qing's beliefs are allowed to follow the local customs in Rome for the time being. The gods on Qing's body must be able to understand this. ”

"The ......"

"Or do you have to ...... Yu" Nero said this, and somehow his face turned a little red, "Do you want Yu to marry you and be your bride before you are willing to dance with Yu?" ”

"When...... Of course not! ”

I was taken aback and took a few steps back, almost subconsciously.

"Huh? Does Qing just want to marry Yu? Nero's head tilted, his clear gaze still resting on me, "Don't you want Yu to become Qing's lover and lifelong partner?" ”

"Because...... I...... I ......"

I'm starting to hate my head.

The more critical it gets, the tongue begins to knot and the throat begins to clog.

It's a very simple word, but I can't say anything because I'm too nervous.

"Hee-hee-hee-"

Seeing my embarrassment, Nero let out a crisp laugh.

"Haha, Qing is so cute, that shy look is like an innocent virgin, it's just too much for Yu's appetite!" Nero laughed contentedly, "Yu will give Qing two choices here: either marry Yu now and be Yu's lover who will never leave him for the rest of his life; Either you and Yu are serious about dancing now, and you have to dance with your best effort. ”

"Say no more, I choose to dance."

I covered my face.

Deliberately, this His Majesty Nero must have done it on purpose!
