Chapter 94: Reappearing

Nero found Shirou hiding in the royal city, so where is Shirou now?

Just now, Shirou wanted to be caught and prepared to continue resisting. Suddenly, he was teleported into the royal city. He saw himself in a strange room, surrounded by two hooded men and the current Roman Emperor.

"Stranger, I have something to say."

Shirou was still digesting the emperor's sudden question, but the emperor didn't have that much time to give Shirou, so he coughed a few times to interrupt Shirou's thinking.

"What do you want from me? You brought me here for no reason."

The emperor ordered all his soldiers to leave, leaving only him and Shirou in the secret room.

"I know who you are, and I know what you will do and what you will do in the future."

The emperor first made it clear that he knew Shirou's identity as a servant and where he would return to in the future.

"But even if you are no longer a normal human being, I still hope that she can be happy."

Shirou knew very well who the emperor was talking about.

"Although her mother just wanted to climb up, we all liked Nero, so we just let her do whatever she wanted."

The emperor said, taking out a scroll from his body and handing it to Shirou.

"If anything happens to me, I hope you can protect Nero. This is the only thing I ask you to do."

Shirou accepted the emperor's scroll and patted his chest.

"Don't worry, I will protect her even without your words."

"hope so."

The emperor asked Shirou to leave. After Shirou left, the emperor murmured to himself.

"Does the Empire of Destruction exist? I hope the prophecy is wrong."

As soon as Shirou walked out of the house, he saw Nero rushing over with a long sword. Shirou couldn't escape Nero's pursuit, so he had to continue running away.

"Shirou, don't even think about escaping. How long do you want to escape?"

Nero rushed over with his long sword, not caring that they were still in the palace.

"Nero, take a look first."

Nero stopped, looked at Shirou who had been forced into the corner, and patiently listened to her last words.

"Look, the time has come."

Only then did Nero realize that an hour had passed, and it seemed that there was no way to complete the victory today.

"Hmph, Shirou, you are lucky, but you may not be so lucky next time."

Nero left without anger, leaving Shirou alone in the mess.

"Next time, I will think of a better way to catch you."

Nero did not forget to say harsh words before leaving, which was indeed in line with her personality.

"I can't imagine what I will encounter next time. Nero can really do anything."

Shirou scratched his head, thinking that tomorrow would be even more troublesome.

Now that he's here, he'll make peace with it. Shirou doesn't want to think too much about it, so he adjusts his mood and goes back to rest.

Not long after he lay down, Shirou heard someone coming to him.

As soon as he opened the door, Nero walked in. Shirou was so frightened that he quickly got up, wanting to see what Nero was going to do.

"Why are you so afraid of me, Shirou? I came here just to ask for your help."

Looking at Shirou who was still doubting him, Nero couldn't help but roll his eyes, making Shirou a little embarrassed.

After all, the pressure Nero brought to him was truly special.

"So, you brought me here just to show me the verdict?"

"Yes."

Nero took Shirou to a busy city. Shirou even recognized a few residents who were chasing him just now. Seeing that they didn't care about what happened just now and greeted Shirou, Shirou couldn't help but admire the strength of the Romans.

"Your Highness Nero, please judge. This man owed me money and refused to repay it, so I used his family to pay off the debt. There is no problem with this. But he never repaid me and even injured me."

Party A said, pointing to his right eye, and there was indeed a black bruise.

"Your Highness Nero, I do owe him money and I haven't paid it back, but I have promised to pay him back the day after tomorrow. He refuses. He has been wanting my land for a long time, and now he is looking for an opportunity to cheat me, and he has eyes for it.

The injuries were not caused by me."

Party B said, and took out a letter of commitment, which said that Party B would get the corresponding money and return it to Party B the day after tomorrow.

"Well, since he has the money to pay you back and you can't prove that he hit you, then of course you are at fault."

Nero originally wanted to close the case, but Party A came up with another agreement.

"Your Highness Nero, the other party is lying. Look at this agreement. It says that the money will be paid yesterday, otherwise the land and house will be mortgaged."

The instruction sheet provided by Party A also stated that the payment was indeed made yesterday.

"Then if that's the case, then give him the house."

"Wait, Your Highness Nero."

Party B pointed to the agreement that Party A took out and said to Nero.

"Your Highness Nero, the agreement states that the money will be repaid ten days later. This agreement is false."

After Nero heard this, he picked up Party A's agreement and looked at it, but he didn't see any forgeries.

"However, I can't see any forgery. This signature must be yours."

"It's indeed mine but I'm sure it's not the original agreement."

Nero also felt that if he didn't handle it well, he would avoid being regarded as unfair.

"Shirou, what do you think?"

Shirou kept looking at the expressions of both parties. Although he didn't see anything, Shirou felt that Party B was telling the truth.

"But how to forge the agreement? There is no such thing as a printer in this era."

Shirou really didn't see anything wrong at first, but in the end Shirou felt a weak magic power appear on the agreement, and Shirou finally understood.

"Nero, there is something wrong with this man."

Shirou took out his dagger and struck the agreement with his sword. The agreement turned into a wooden figure and hit him with his fists.

Shirou grabbed the wooden man's hand with one hand. Although the wooden man was a bit strong, it was no match for Shirou. He disintegrated the wooden man with a few swords and Shirou immediately grabbed Party A.

"Tell me, who gave you the magic prop? It's impossible for you, a civilian, to get this thing."

Party A was so blind that he quickly knelt down and begged Nero for mercy, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Your Highness, please spare your life. A long-haired man wearing strange clothes gave it to me. He said it was a test object, so I took it for use. Please spare your life, Your Highness."

Nero ordered people to arrest Party A and give Party B justice, but Nero looked at Shirou's sad face and his mood did not change much.

"What's wrong, Shirou?"

Nero took Shirou back to his residence and looked at Shirou.

"It seems that the enemy has started to take action again. I thought they would continue to lurk, but I didn't expect to encounter them again."

It must be a Servant, and a Servant with a magician rank. It would be really difficult to ambush this kind of Servant, and Shirou would have to have a headache.

"It's okay, Shirou."

Nero held Shirou's hand and comforted him.

"No matter how many people they come, I believe you will protect me, right?"

"Yes, I will definitely protect you."

"So, about that."

"Then no need to talk."
