Winter came earlier than expected. Shirou didn't notice that he had been in this era for almost a year without knowing it.

Looking at the white snow falling outside the window, Shirou was not thinking about the enemies in the dark, but how many people would die from the cold this year.

"After all, winter in ancient times was not friendly to people at all."

As a heroic spirit, Shirou is naturally not afraid of these natural temperature changes, but Nero and Boudica are different. Although they may become heroic spirits, they are still only humans now.

Shirou went to find the two of them with the winter clothes he had prepared. When he came to the hall, he saw Nero and Budi gathered in front of the stove to keep warm. They were no longer as active as before.

"Shirou, I'm finally ready, hurry up and put them on for us."

Nero and Boudica picked up the clothes Shirou gave them. They fit well and were very warm. After all, Shirou made them himself.

"Shirou, what do you think we should do this year to protect the people from the cold this year? After all, many people die of cold and starvation every winter."

Boudica was even more worried about the problems of her people this winter. After all, this winter is indeed colder, and more people may die this year. Boudica's face turned ugly when she thought of this.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it."

Nero and Boudica looked at Shirou, hoping he could give a satisfactory answer.

"Remember the pickled food we prepared?"

In the early days, Shirou and the others had already issued an order to marinate the excess meat with sea salt, turn it into wooden barrels and bury it in the cellar.

"Although this can satisfy the food problem, not everyone in Shirou needs warm clothes like us."

"Then, just like this thing I have now, just make it a household stove."

"Actually, we all have them, but with warmth, the gas stays at home and it's easy to be unable to breathe."

"Then, just open a channel in the stove to exhaust the burning gas."

Shirou and Boudica were still discussing about this winter, when Shirou felt someone was disturbing them.

A guard came in and reported to Shirou and the others.

"Report, the Roman envoy is here."

Shirou also knew that Rome should have called people to investigate the current situation in Britain. After all, they had directly killed the prosecutor Yuan.

"Okay, let's go meet him."

Shirou followed Nero and Boudica to see the envoy. After all, Nero was behind all the plans.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Nero was a little surprised to see that the envoy who came was actually his uncle who loved him the most.

"My niece, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here to see you."

Caligula saw Nero coming over, rubbed Nero's hair affectionately, and looked at Shirou.

"Outlander, in addition to meeting Nero, I have something else I want to tell you when I come here."

"Okay, let's talk alone."

Seeing Shirou meeting alone with his uncle, Nero didn't know what he was thinking. He looked at Shirou with a red face and watched them leave.

When Boudica saw Nero's reaction, she also felt that something might be going on. Although she felt it was natural, her mood still became depressed.

Shirou brought Caligula to his study. Looking at Calibra who was silent, Shirou didn't know what to say.

"Nero is my favorite niece. I gave up my throne just because I felt that I was being controlled by something."

As soon as Caligula finished speaking, Shirou felt the very hidden aura of a servant on him, with a violent aura.

"I often lose my mind because of this, so I feel that I am not suitable to be emperor, so I abdicated early and lived in seclusion."

Caligula walked to the window and looked at the snow-white scenery outside, but he could not calm down his inner mania.

"Even though I have always maintained my sanity and tranquility, this madness is still slowly eroding my soul. I believe that soon, I will become a monster who has lost my mind."

"So what do you want from me?"

Although Shirou roughly guessed what Caligula was thinking, he hoped that his consciousness was wrong.

"If one day I lose my mind and attack Nero, I hope you can stop me. After all, I can see that Nero is very dependent on you."

Caligula handed the letter in his hand to Shirou and spoke to Shirou.

"We don't care if you train that girl here. What's important is that you have to protect Nero. If you do, that girl will become the prosecutor here and we won't have anything to do with it."

Shirou knew what Caligula and the others were thinking. After all, Nero has been assassinated by enemies of unknown origin, and the only one who can protect Nero is Shirou.

"Don't worry, I will protect her even without this. Even if I want to die."

Shirou put away the letter and swore to Caligula.

"I believe you, young man."

Caligula followed Shirou out of the room and looked at the two people who had finished speaking. Nero pulled Caligula aside and whispered to him.

"Shirou, what on earth are you talking about?"

Boudica walked to Shirou and looked at him, hoping that Shirou would not say that.

"It's okay. He just gave me the documents. From now on, you will be a legitimate prosecutor and can protect your people."

Shirou didn't know what Boudica was thinking, but he was telling the truth. Boudica felt relieved when he heard Shirou's answer. But at the same time, it also gave Boudica a sense of crisis.

Nero had just finished speaking to Caligula, feeling a little disappointed, but thinking of what Caligula had just said, he was also full of energy.

"Okay, I won't disturb you for too long. I'm leaving. You have to work hard."

Caligula said goodbye to Nero and left alone.

"Shirou, remember, don't let Uncle Yu down."

"Of course, no matter who comes to assassinate you, I will protect you."

After Nero finished speaking, he returned to his room alone, closed the door, and remembered his uncle's words.

"I won't interfere in that matter. You have to fight for it on your own. I believe you can do it, my niece."

"Do you want to fight for it yourself?"

Nero grabbed his robe and made a decision in his mind.

"Yu Ke is the future emperor, so you have to grab what you want."

Not to mention Nero's side, Boudica looked at the letter Shirou got, and besides being happy, she also made her own decision.

"In this way, I will be considered competitive, Shirou, wait for me. When I liberate Britain and defeat the Romans, I will be qualified to stand by your side."

Shirou didn't think about what these two people were thinking, he was more concerned about Caligula's situation.

"The enemy has already targeted the people around Nero. It seems that the enemy's attack will come soon."
