Caesar's spirit completely disappeared on the plain outside Pisa.
Nero stared at the place where Caesar disappeared with a complicated expression.
The magic of Saturn that Animusfia used to bind Caesar returned to the ground again.
"As expected, are you still a little disappointed? Your Majesty."
After ordering his soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield, Animusfia asked Nero.
"Governor..."
After slightly raising his gaze to look at Animusfia, Nero lowered his gaze again.
"Hmm."
The golden hair swayed up and down with Nero's movements.
Speaking of which, Animusfia had been getting along with Nero for a while, and this was the first time he noticed the stupid hair on Nero's head.
Although his appearance was the same as that of the Black Saber of Chaldea and Jeanne d'Arc, who had briefly fought side by side in France, Nero seemed to have something strange on his head that neither of them had.
Animusfia couldn't help but think of this as she recalled the empty heads of Artoria Altter and Jeanne.
If you study it carefully, you might even be able to find a way to crack the general theory of relativity from this gravity-defying hair.
The future seemed to be hanging over Nero's head.
His eyes couldn't help but glance down again.
There is also something there that a certain black knight king in Chaldea does not possess.
"I never thought that I would become an enemy with that Caesar...grandfather."
"I never thought that I would become that Nero, your Majesty's subject."
Nero looked up at Animusfia.
"As a subject of Yu, a subject of Nero who did such a ridiculous thing, the governor really feels very bad."
In the past few days, at my strong request, Animusfia told Nero many stories about the emperors of 666 in history.
Although Nero didn't seem to care about the evaluations given to him by others on the surface, in fact he was always secretly sad like a child who was not praised.
Animusfia actually regretted telling her these things.
But he really couldn't do it when Nero looked at her like a curious baby and asked Animusfia to lie.
"Of course that's not what I meant, Your Majesty. The future is full of possibilities, and nothing that happens is surprising. What matters most is whether you regret it, Your Majesty."
"Do you regret becoming Yu's servant, Governor?"
Nero suddenly asked Animusfia.
"My dream has always been to fight alongside someone like you, Your Majesty. How could I regret it?"
Animusfia paused and continued to ask Nero:
"Your Majesty, do you regret it?"
"I don't know, I don't know, Governor. Is I really qualified to seize Rome from the hands of our ancestors...from the hands of Augustus and Caesar?"
"No, Your Majesty. It's not whether you are qualified to seize Rome from Caesar, but whether Caesar is qualified to seize Rome from you - the answer is obviously no. Your power, my contract , all reflect that [Rome] is interested in you at this moment.”
"But... my grandfather was also blessed by Rome."
"But he still lost at the hands of you and me. It is enough to prove that Rome cares for you more deeply than he does."
"Hmm."
Nero nodded, seeming to accept this statement.
However, what Animusfia did not explain was that in fact, during the duel with Caesar, Nero's magical aura continued to transfer to Caesar's side.
It can be seen that the objects of [Rome's] help are not limited to Nero.
I am afraid that the purpose of the “Roman Emperor” type servants that the man behind the Holy Grail keeps summoning is to wipe out the magic power of [Rome].
That is what Caesar said, taking Rome from Nero's hand and then destroying it.
When [Rome] was killed, the blow to future generations would undoubtedly be devastating.
I'm afraid this is the real purpose of Goetia and the Demon God Pillar.
"But I still don't know what my grandfather's wish was that he wanted to use the Holy Grail to realize, so that he did not hesitate to destroy Rome to achieve it."
"Actually, Lord Caesar has already said——his most important thing."
"....Family?"
Nero thought of something.
"Well, I'm afraid it was his life-long love, the last pharaoh, the famous Cleopatra VII, and their child Caesarion. But unfortunately, Cleopatra's way to Caesar was The assassination failed to get the status he expected, and Caesarion never received recognition from Caesar himself."
"Caesar...Grandpa, did he choose to be an enemy of Rome just for them?"
"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened, Your Majesty. In order to make up for the debt to those two people, this is also the style of that Caesar."
Animusfia nodded in disbelief.
"But I still can't understand...why he puts his selfish desires more seriously than Rome's. He is Caesar!"
"Just as my understanding of you is limited to historical materials, your understanding of Lord Caesar should only come from the records of historians, Your Majesty. You have always grown up listening to various legends, so you will naturally have an understanding of legends. He arouses admiration and admiration for Caesar."
Animusfia suddenly continued:
"But please also remember that true understanding can never be obtained under admiration and worship. Just like the Roman people who worship you and me now, they are the people farthest from you. How can you judge Kai What kind of person is Sarah?"
"Then do we want them to stop worshiping Yu Cai?"
"No, Your Majesty. Just let them worship like this. The Emperor (Dominus) does not need companions, and the Emperor (Dominus) does not need to understand. The Emperor (Dominus) is always alone."
Nero's mood sank again.
"Does the same apply to you, Governor?"
"You are my Master (Dominus), how can I be an exception——"
Nero's expression became even more disappointed.
"Having said that, you seem to have shown too much of your true nature in front of me. Even if you want to worship me now, I can't worship you anymore."
Animusfia shook her head and said helplessly.
"Hmm! Is that so? That's great!"
But Nero looked very happy about it.
"This is not a good thing, Your Majesty."
"I think it's good, that's enough."
"Well...one day, you will understand Lord Caesar. The love of the country is important, but that love can never be the first thing in your heart."
Animusfia said sincerely:
"Please be sure to put yourself first in your subsequent rule and be the master (Dominus) of power and responsibility, rather than the slave of power and responsibility."
Otherwise, the Black Knight King in Chaldea is a lesson to others.
However, for Rome in this era, it is better to take the back seat.
But unlike the half-dragon Arturia, Nero is a genuine person who can give others love.
"For you who are full of love in your heart, you will definitely find something more important than Rome one day. But for now, as Caesar said, please love Rome with all your heart and hold it tightly. In the palm of your hand."
Animusfia turned to look at the legions who had already arranged the battlefield.
"Then let's stop chatting here. Your Majesty, let's go. We still have enemies to kill."
As soon as the words fell, Animusfiya walked towards the west.
"Is there anything more important than Rome...?"
Nero looked at Animusfia's leaving figure, thoughtfully.
