"What did you say!"

After Nero and Shiro returned to Rome, the Roman gatekeeper hurriedly notified Nero and Shiro to return to the palace for talks.

"Yes, I don't know when, nearly half of our cities in Rome rebelled and surrendered to a force called the Holy Roman Empire. Just now, a messenger came to us and asked us to surrender, otherwise we would start a war."

The emperor explained everything very briefly, allowing Nero and Shirou to digest it.

"But, father, we don't need to be afraid of them. If we want to fight, we won't fight."

"I know, but."

Before the emperor could speak, he suddenly covered his heart and knelt down.

"Father!"

Nero quickly stepped forward to help the emperor up. Seeing that the emperor's face was very pale, Nero looked at Shirou asking for help.

"Don't worry, I know my body."

The emperor stood up, looked at Shirou and Nero beside him, seemed to have made some decision, and said to Nero.

"Nero, although it is urgent, we need you now. Rome needs a new emperor."

Nero was not ready yet, so he just took a few steps back and said tremblingly.

"Yu, I'm not ready yet. Father, I'm not ready yet."

"fine."

"Rome now needs an emperor who can go to the front line. You only need to represent Rome, represent me, and fight the enemy. I will prepare the rest."

Nero wanted to say something else, but the emperor waved his hand and asked Nero to leave, leaving Shirou alone.

"Nero, after this battle is over, he will be the emperor of Rome. I don't care about your affairs, but Nero belongs to Rome, you should understand."

What the emperor meant was that Nero could only be the king, not someone's wife, and the emperor didn't care about the rest.

"I see."

After Shirou finished speaking, he left.

As soon as Shirou returned to his residence, Nero was already waiting for him inside.

"Shirou, let's tell everyone quickly and prepare for the ceremony, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble in the future."

Compared with enemies and the throne, Nero was more worried about the complicated affairs and rituals of becoming king.

"Nero, not now, can we wait until the war is over?"

Shirou didn't know how to tell Nero, so he could only postpone it until the end of the war. At least this reason was sufficient.

"Then, you have to promise me that you won't go back on your word after the war is over."

"certainly."

Nero heard Shirou's answer and left happily. After all, the battle was about to begin, so he still had to prepare.

Shirou walked on the street and found that everyone was preparing. After all, the enemy was about to attack. If you are not prepared, you still want to be beaten?

"Hey, Shirou, come here."

Unexpectedly, I met a Roman messenger here, who handed a letter to Shirou.

"It's a coincidence to meet you here. You're from Britain."

Shirou read it briefly and realized that this was a message from Boudica to him. Boudica seemed to come back to him in a few days, so he asked him to be prepared.

"I hope it's not the day the war starts. I don't know why I chose these days."

Shirou could only hope that Boudica and the others would be okay and continue walking around the city.

Shirou walked through the small streets he had experienced, walked through the place where he was attacked by a sneak attack, met everyone who had tried to arrest him, and finally came to the city gate.

"What's wrong, Shirou, do you want to regret it?"

Seeing that Shirou was unusual, a passerby sent a message to Nero, and it was still noon, so no wonder Nero became suspicious.

"no."

Shirou walked up to Nero and knocked Nero on the head.

"What do you think I will leave you at this time, idiot."

"But, you were not very willing to stay here at first."

What Nero said was not unreasonable. To be honest, Shirou really didn't expect that he would stay at this singularity for almost four years, and that he had almost defeated the enemy, not even the Chaldeans.

"From the beginning, I planned to complete the task and leave."

Shirou took Nero to sit aside and told Nero his thoughts.

"I just didn't expect that I would stay here for so long and meet so many people."

"I wanted to leave from the beginning, but something made me stay here."

Shirou remembered what Elizabeth said to him.

"History is always going on, and you are already in it."

Shirou looked at Nero who looked confused in front of him and smiled happily.

"Because of you, I will always be here because of you, and because of you, I will complete my mission."

"So, after the mission is completed, where will you go?"

Nero was very shaken when he asked this question.

"When the time comes, I will take you away."

"ha?"

Nero didn't expect that Shirou would actually say this.

"What are you talking about, Shirou? I am the emperor of Rome."

Shirou grabbed Nero's hands and put his face in front of Nero.

"So what, I just want to take you away, it has nothing to do with Rome."

"no."

Nero shook off Shirou's hand, stood up, and stared at Shirou.

"Yu is the future fifth emperor of Rome. I will protect Rome in the future. I will not leave with you. I will stay here."

Nero looked at Shirou and stretched out his hand to Shirou.

"Shirou, why don't you stay here and don't leave."

"no."

Shirou knew that this place did not belong to him. If he stayed here, wouldn't it be the same as creating a singularity? Shirou would not stay here.

"Why? Why do you have to leave? What's wrong with Rome?"

"No, it's not that Rome is bad, it's that I can't stay here, I have to leave."

Nero didn't expect Shirou to be so determined. He was actually unwilling to stay in Rome for himself, but just wanted to take him away.

"No, I won't go with you, the only option is for you to stay here."

Shirou looked at Nero who was getting more and more excited, and knew that it was too early to discuss this now, so he had to defeat the enemy first.

"Nero."

Shirou stood up and tried to stay calm.

"It's not good for us to argue now, and there's still a lot of time. Can we have a good talk after we end this war?"

Shirou felt that he needed to explain clearly to Nero, but not now.

"Yes, but I will not change my mind in the future. You must be aware of this, Shirou."

Nero also knew what he should do now and had no choice but to give up.

"Well, I know."

"snort."

Nero turned around and left. After all, there was still a lot to do.

Shirou has many things to solve now. He must first solve the war and find a way to take Nero away. After all, Nero belongs to this era and he does not belong here. Is there any way to do this?

"Forget it, I don't think so much about it."

Shirou had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being and return to his own world to discuss the next battle with Wu and Shiro.
