Theodore wondered how he had "escaped" from Helena's embrace, the warm touch made him feel as if his whole body senses were paralyzed, he wanted to hug her tightly, he wanted to tear, he wanted to pour, his body was as hot as fire, and there was always a voice in his head that was hoarse: "You are a beast!

The voice is named "Yi Cangqiong", and the one who controls the body is "Theodore Julian", a sixteen-year-old otaku who is ignorant and yearns for love and has an almost sacred worship of love; Caesar, who holds the power of life and death, is still torn between reason and sexuality.

“...... We'll go back to Caesarea tomorrow. Theodore looked at Helena, who was full of shyness in front of him, and the young princess was still ashamed of her reckless behavior——, and pretended to be very calm with a wry smile: "I have made a triumphal request to the Senate, all the Romans...... Maybe the whole North, cheering, rejoicing, praising us!"

"I'm very sorry, but I borrowed your name and issued an order to all the northern lords to come to Caesarea, I hope you don't blame me. Theodore smiled strangely: "Humanity will once again be united under one banner, Helena, and we will usher in a new era!"

"When the time comes, you will be the new emperor. Helena said in a slight voice and with a calm face, as if she was joking, as if she were stating something: "The golden laurel of Rome will also replace Pande's Glorious Cross, Caesarea will replace Isos, and Julian will replace Pendragon!"

"No, believe me that it will not happen! I am Caesar of Rome, but I am also Theodore Julian, and I promised you, and I declared to all the senators—that you have the same rights as me, everything. If the gods were destined to let me sit on the throne. Then I will sit on the left and you will sit on the right. Theodore held the delicate little hand tightly, and the sparkling obsidian stared closely at the blue of the sea: "Our descendants will have two great surnames, telling everyone that the former Holy Pander Empire was not overthrown because she lost justice and justice, that she was great in life and in the grandeur of death, that she had fulfilled her mission, and that Rome would inherit her unfinished great work, that humanity would become strong, and that glory would shine again on all!"

"I am Caesar. So I do what I say. Theodore raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly: "I am half a prince, so I will never break my promise to Her Royal Highness." ”

Helena, whose youth is gradually fading, slowly reveals a mature beauty, sweet and full of sacrosanctity, her face is radiant, and the corners of her elegant mouth are tolerant and benevolent.

"Do what you want, I believe you, Pendragon has a force in his veins, and that power is now yours. Helena closed her eyes, her fluttering eyelashes trembling. He gently kissed Theodore on the forehead: "May the Radiant Cross bless you forever!"

—————————————————————————————————————

"Allow me to pay tribute to you, my honourable Lord Theodore Julian. As soon as Theodore walked out of the tent, the old prophet Malcius appeared before him, and bowed humbly: "It seems." You have come to an agreement with Her Highness Helena Pendragon?"

"I think I have to thank you, Prophet Malcius. Theodore smiled and said, "You have saved the life of a valiant knight, and you have saved the covenant between Laria and Rome. ”

"Bran and I don't have a good relationship, and I can see that he's always on the lookout for me...... Or rather. I believe that his willingness to pledge his allegiance to me will not be because of Helena, who has his intentions. I don't care, though. "I can't make everyone loyal, and I can't make the whole north united like brothers, but it will be enough if they are willing to contribute their loyalty and strength," said Diopoly. ”

"I think you'll get the power of the North, and there's no way you'll make a mistake with the Radiant Cross—at least it picked the right person last time. "Malcius followed in Theodore's footsteps, and the two knights, Valence and Elendil, followed not far behind, protecting their Caesar.

"It won't be long before the lords of the whole north will come to Caesarea and swear allegiance to the new empire. The northerners will unite against the orcs of the south, and the Radiant Cross will line up with the gods of Rome. Theodore said in a deep voice, "I hope you will go too, prophet." ”

"What use do you want an old man like me to have? My mission has been accomplished—to follow Aragorn's last wish to preserve the Radiant Cross to this day, and humanity no longer needs such a prophet. Maltheus smiled slyly, "It's like the wizards no longer exist." The age of magic and magic is gone forever, and it won't be long before those things will be forgotten as the imagination of their ancestors, and become the stories of children in their dreams, who will pursue new things. ”

"The knowledge of magic that the Noldor elves once taught us to mankind gave us wisdom out of obscurity, and the ancient wizards who guided the civilization of the Anthropocene realm were a golden age that people yearn for—as it seems today. Maltheus said gently, "Mystical magic, strange and ancient races, werewolves, giants, cavemen, goblins all over the wilderness plains, and fire-breathing dragons entrenched in the mountains. To people today, our ancestors seem to live in myths!" said this, and Malcius couldn't help but smile.

"Hehehe...... Sounds pretty good, a lot like the beginning of a heroic story. Theodore smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "But I don't think it's a good story, right?"

"That's right, it's not a good story, it should be said to be a very ...... Poignant story. The old prophet's voice was hoarse: "Even in the time I lived, the human race was not the most powerful race in the south, relying on the protection of the Noldor elves, huddled behind the walls, the wilderness was full of bloodthirsty and ferocious beasts or terrible werewolves, the dragons of the mountains would raid certain places from time to time, and the towns of thousands of people would be turned into burning ruins in an instant, and then they would be plundered by the savage creatures that followed—slaughter, and ravage. ”

"Even if the armies of wizards and city-states could defend cities from invasion, the small villages were still beyond their reach, and the former Noldor elves raided the humans and forced them to follow many of their customs - and of course, they did protect them. However, I believe you can imagine how heavy the contradictions and humiliations in the hearts of human beings were at that time. "You can see why Aragon is regarded as a god, and what a yearning for strength and freedom there is in Aragorn's voice!"

"An even more tragic thing is yet to come—the wizards who once served as human guides have become stubborn after an epoch, watching from the sidelines when the city-state suffers disaster, and becoming the power of the Noldor elves to indirectly dominate humanity. The ancient power began to degenerate, and the casting of spells became more and more restricted by the worldly realm, but the wizards still maintained their former arrogance and pretentiousness, and became monsters and demons that everyone feared. Maltheus said bitterly: "The power of magic comes from the life force." They have done a lot of outrageous experiments on young children, just because they want to continue to get the power to cast spells to their own power!"

"I think it's the Human Emperor Aragorn who will end all this, right? Theodore smiled and asked, "But, as a member of the wizard, don't you hate him?"

"Of course, as much as I know how filthy many wizards are, I'm also a wizard, and naturally I hated him, but it didn't take long to ...... Forgive him. Malcius said, "If you have such a friend. You will forgive him too. It's hard to really hate the old gods when they're gone, and Aragorn asks them to take all the wizards who still have a crush on magic, because he holds the Cross of Radiance. He is the only human who can negotiate with the gods. He is also the only human who does not crave the amount of mana. ”

"Didn't you come along, why did you stay?"

"Because my best friend asks me, for the sake of this world—for the sake of humanity—for the prophecy of mankind, for the guardian of the Radiant Cross—this is Aragorn's last request to me. "It's as if Malthews is thinking back to the past. His eyes were a little confused: "Because of this, I have gained strength and a long life, so long that even the great druid cannot compare with me, and I will always be frozen at the age of sixty-five." Time stands still for me, but the force is not pleasant, and the force is more like a responsibility. ”

"Don't you think it is time to continue to fulfill your duty, I need you, and Helena needs you, your ancient wisdom is important to us, and you have enough authority to make the nobles understand the importance of oaths. Theodore confidently raised the corners of his mouth: "I will not ask you to swear allegiance to me, but I will still leave you a place in the hall of the Senate, in my castle." ”

"I think I can do it. Maltheus bent slightly helplessly: "Of course, at any time, as long as you don't need me anymore, please allow me to leave." Still have questions?"

"The last one. Theodore's face was calm and his eyes narrowed: "How did Aragorn die? The founder of the empire is his son, who has neither inherited his surname nor his power to control the Radiant Cross, what happened?"

"How did he die? No, no, no, maybe he did die in the eyes of the world, but it was a little different from what everyone thought. Maltheus shook his head: "He doesn't care about territory, titles, wealth or anything, he likes to be cheered, no matter how much power he has, he doesn't have a comfortable life, making out with his lover is more important, and he is not a good father, although he did leave his son a large 'inheritance' - an empire." More often than not, it seems that this guy is just going to experience adventure and the thrill of finding treasure, to show off his skills to challenge dragons, to go deep into the jungle and even to fight the Noldor elves and many savage races. ”

"That's what he told me—when he left this world. As he said this, Malcius's face suddenly became strange.

"I'm going home. (To be continued......)
