"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I—"
"I don't want you to call me Your Majesty, teacher. Please continue to call me Nero. Domitius is also fine. Is that okay, teacher?"
Nero sat down, hugged Novia's waist without hesitation, covered his mouth with one hand, and said with a pleading look.
"....I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't do this..."
Novia stared at her without moving. The girl thought she had made a mistake and looked at him uneasily.
The rose-like girl in front of him liked him very much. Novia knew very well that he had not done anything bad to her in these years. He hoped that she would do things from a good perspective. And now she would not be considered as the "enemy of God" '666', and the possibility of defecting and becoming the disaster beast Draco was also small...
But according to John, Novia, although Nero seems lively on the surface, he actually wants to drink his blood and eat his flesh like Albion did. The end result is that one day he will be overwhelmed by her wine filled with desire and suffer... Could it be that I have taught him the wrong thing in some way?
But I didn't restrict her desires too much and always let her vent them appropriately. Do I want her to continue more?
"No, that's not the case. I was a little distracted."
Novia shook her head.
"...Really? Are you really not mad at me?"
It was clear from these words that Nero was not confident. Novia noticed her mood and said calmly and confidently:
"Not at all....That's the truth, Nero."
"Teacher, I am the emperor."
Nero's mood instantly turned from dark to bright after hearing this response, and he smiled again. The tone of his voice sounded like a condemnation, but also like a coquettish tone.
"As the emperor, even if you are my teacher, you should remember what I said, right?"
Nero's words sounded a little unreasonable, but when Novia heard it, she didn't smile or get angry. She just answered her calmly and as if it was a matter of course.
"I will keep your words in mind, regardless of whether you speak in this capacity or not."
"Then, teacher——"
There was no falsehood in the girl's eyes and words, and there was a passion that could consume everything.
"If it's to be with you, I can do anything, right?"
Passionate eyes and words that are terrifying because of their beauty.
The next moment, in Nero's eyes, his teacher shook his head slightly, and then -
Unlike last time when she wanted a reward, Novia took the initiative to kiss her on the lips. The kiss lasted for so long that she felt she was suffocating, but her body instinctively felt countless pleasures.
"Nero you don't have to do anything you say, just listen to me."
Novia said this while hugging the girl, looking at her, whose face had turned red and whose expression had become dazed because of his kiss.
"Okay...Okay, teacher, I will always listen to you..."
For a young girl, Nero was very cute like this, but she was probably a little embarrassed to speak next, so she spoke even more softly.
"But, but... in this case, I think... you can also pull your hair hard, but I only heard about it, I have never thought of it..."
She just hoped that he would hold her hair when kissing her next time. Novia naturally had no hesitation and naturally met Nero's request.
059: The name of Meilushin belongs only to you
The next day, Nero, who had confirmed yesterday that there was no major problem with his teacher and had received a very good reward, naturally no longer hesitated.
After meeting Novia in the palace that morning, he was affectionate with her for a few more times and then announced that he would go to the Isthmus of Corinth on the Greek peninsula to dig a canal.
The emperor was far away from the capital. Among the civil servants was Seneca, and the leader of the Guards was Lucius. Novia's orders were equivalent to the emperor's orders, although for Novia, it seemed that there was no difference from when Nero was there.
Anyway, as long as I bring it up, the blonde girl will agree.
In fact, after establishing the Cathedral Church and becoming the Pope himself, and with the number of Christians increasing rapidly across the country, it can be said that Novia has nothing left to do and all he has to do is sit back and enjoy himself.
But even before he learned about the new apocalypse that John had mentioned, he was basically extremely busy.
As for the Cathedral Church, although it has people from the Burial Classroom, and has long asked Roman magicians stationed in various places to help deal with local dead apostles, it is ultimately a drop in the bucket. It can only wait for the successful birth of the "Bible" foundation created by Novia, so that ordinary people can also use rituals to defend themselves, but it will take some time.
As for whether to establish a knight order belonging to the church, Novia has not yet had any idea, and he thinks it is better to train agents first.
After all, this is an open military organization. Although Nero would never have any ideas about it, as her teacher, I still have to be cautious.
After dealing with the problem of the Templar Church, the next issue was the Roman Empire. A few years ago, all the buildings in Novia in the Jewish province were basically destroyed except for the First Temple in Jerusalem. However, it was still necessary to migrate people from overpopulated provinces there. Therefore, rebuilding the city and rebuilding the Holy Land Jerusalem along the First Temple should also be put on the agenda.
In Novia's vision, after all this is over, the issue will be about Byzantium.
This place is the only way to Asia and the only route from the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea.
In addition, the Golden Horn not far away is a natural harbor with excellent conditions. It has been a gathering place for merchant ships from all over the world since ancient times. As long as strong support is given now, convenient water and land transportation will rapidly develop commerce, which is enough to provide considerable income to the Roman Empire's finances and build more infrastructure.
In addition, vigorous development in Byzantium could also allow the residents of the major provinces east of the Roman Empire to maintain their pride in being residents of the Roman Empire and gradually unite the people.
In short, these are things that take a lot of time to accomplish, but Novia and Nero are both very young, so the problems will naturally not be too big.
Now that Novia has learned about the new apocalypse, he wants to go to a place called Armageddon, 80 kilometers north of Jerusalem.
That is, in the Book of Revelation, at the end of the world, it is the final battlefield of the war among nations initiated by the "Beast Kingdom".
"I have to go out for a while, and it will take a long time for me to come back."
After saying goodbye to Nero, Novia returned home and said to the hanging 'gun', since the last time Albion forced her unique long tongue to lick his mouth more than ten times, she disappeared after dawn.
From that day on, no matter what Novia said, she had no reaction and didn't speak.
Although he could just leave without saying a word now, he knew that Albion was still afraid of loneliness, so he still told her. Whether she followed him or not was up to her.
'Don't let me see you, I still want to eat you.'
Hiding in the gun, Albion felt the reflexive desire and appetite stirring in her body. She had eaten a piece of meat from Novia's shoulder and stomach before, and she felt that her soul had undergone subtle changes, so she instinctively wanted more. She also inexplicably hoped that after that she would breathe disorderly because of Novia, and hoped that his hands, which were sticky with blood and flesh, would be licked and wiped off by her.
After waiting in silence for more than ten seconds, Novia realized that Albion still had no reaction, and thought that he had to force him a little more, as tsundere was really troublesome.
"...As for me, I am afraid of you."
Albion remained silent and did not respond to Novia's sudden words. Although he did not like being hated, he still hoped that Novia would not be eaten by him.
"I am afraid that you want to eat me." Novia took down the gun and stroked it. "Although you are noble to me, you are also terrible. At this moment, originally... maybe I should destroy you now."
While the silver-haired girl inside the gun was whimpering in pain, Novia did not pull his hand away from the gun, did not destroy his weapon and abandon the dragon, did not use the magic he knew to destroy the girl's head, did not do any of these.
"......But I want you to live, even if it means eating my flesh and blood."
“…I can’t do that.”
Albion finally appeared in front of Novia again.
"I may be the strongest dragon, but I can't control my desire to eat you. Even though I've been very obedient, I will never act capriciously."
"...Come to me."
Novia picked her up, and the silver-haired girl was trembling slightly, and she grabbed Novia's collar with her small hands.
I don't want to leave, and the emotion I express is very clear.
"If you can't do it, from now on I will make a contract with you and I will give you a new name. Then, whenever I say that name, it means that you belong to me, and I should be able to suppress that desire."
"........OK."
The golden pupils of the dragon girl seemed a little hazy at this moment.
"Mei Luxin, this is the name that will lock your desire to eat me from now on."
"Yes, I understand. I am your strongest dragon. I am Albion and Melusin."
"Then before the contract is established, in exchange for your performance towards me." Novia, who was holding her, put her head against his shoulder:
"Take the last bite."
At that moment, the girl's cheeks were bathed in flying blood foam, and her pretty figure was slightly tarnished.
"Novia...it hurts, right? Come and bite me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I promise that I will never do this again from now on. It's really true..."
Perhaps knowing that although he had only eaten a piece of meat from the shoulder this time, it would still be very painful for Novia, Albion, who had been given the name Meluseen, stuck out his tongue and ate the blood and other flesh from Novia's body that he had bitten.
"............Mei Luxin, are you a little too heavy?"
060: Melusin no longer concealed and the oracle of the final place
"If we fly, it can indeed save a lot of time..."
"So, Novia, do you still think that I, Meilushin, am scary now?"
The silver-haired girl did not show any discomfort or unpleasantness about the new name. Instead, she was extremely happy.
Novia was now literally high in the sky, hurtling across the seemingly endless, limitless Mediterranean Sea.
To be honest, it wasn't the first time he flew into the sky, not by magic, but by something like an airplane or a hang glider.
After using the method of giving Albion the name Melusine to restrain his desire to eat him not long ago, the silver-haired girl spontaneously asked to go with him.
"Without further ado, where do you want to go, Novia? I'll take you there. I can fly. My magic power won't grow if I don't use it anyway, so I might as well use it for you."
Melusin jumped a little, stretched out her hands and hugged Novia's neck. She weighed only 20 kilograms, which was not very heavy. She was even three centimeters shorter than Nero.
"Seventy kilometers north of Jerusalem."
"Oh, that place... Well, anywhere is fine if that's what you want."
The dragon girl lightly kicked the toes in the air, and she spread her blue-black metallic wings and flew up with Novia.
Time returns to the present.
"I don't like you being afraid of me." Meilushin buried her head in Novia's neck and licked it a few times. "I am indeed not a human being. It is understandable that you treat me as an animal, but I don't want to be friends with you. I really like you, Novia. At the beginning, I came to find you alone from far away."
The silver-haired girl's voice sounded excited, happy, and elegant.
Novia remained silent. His intuition told him that the other party did not want him to speak at this time.
"I was lonely and sad there, but I could only endure it. No, I'd better tell the truth. I was actually very sad, so lonely that I wanted to cry at any time. I kept enduring it until I heard your voice. It was only a relief. You are obviously just a human. My previous thoughts were at most 'I wonder what you will taste like? But it must be bad if it is so weak.' However, I will definitely be very sad if I eat you."
"So, Novia, let's stay together forever."
Meilushin spoke softly in his ear, her voice so soft that it was almost drowned out by the sound of friction in the air.
"I don't want you to leave me. I hope you only have me... Actually, when I first met you, I lied to you... In fact, there is no one who can replace you. Since I see you this way, you should also see me this way. That's it. Also, I want to possess your body. In human terms, that means mating."
She then lowered her eyes, as if she was enduring something.
"........."
Novia was silent for a few seconds, probably because he had never been asked this question before.
"If you pretend not to hear me, I'll kill you. Okay, I'm just kidding. Three, two, one, answer now."
".....Meilushin, aren't you a soul now? Hasn't your body long been--"
"I don't know. Anyway, I feel that I will soon have a human body. It will only take a few years. That's great, Novia. I am already yours. You can treat me however you want... This, is not okay..."
The strongest dragon named Melusin put his face close to Novia and touched her cheek. Since he didn't say a word, the girl's voice became smaller and smaller.
"I'm so sorry... I didn't think it through. By the way, I can keep your, that human, Nero, from knowing about it, because I will only show up when we are alone."
This statement is true, because over the years, except for the first time when Novia took Melusine out for a walk and met Nero, she basically only appeared when Novia was alone.
Then both of them fell into silence, and soon arrived at Novia's destination. For Novia, his magic power did not consume any energy.
Meilushin looked a little pale, not knowing whether it was because he did not answer, or because of the extremely large consumption of magic power, or perhaps both. In any case, her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"...I, I'm a little tired and need to take a rest. By the way, I'm sorry, Novia, I just mentioned it briefly just now... Please forget it..."
"Is this really okay? Actually, I don't think it's necessary. We still have to tell it to Nero if we don't want him to know."
Obviously, she could have the best of both worlds just by nodding her head, but Novia has always believed that she should not feel superior because of favoritism towards anyone who treats her sincerely, and she should not be treated perfunctorily.
So Novia narrowed her eyes as if she was thinking about something, and held Meilushin's trembling hand.
"Whether it's you or Nero, I will never let go of your hand. Please keep your faith. You will never be alone again, Melusin, Albion."
"Okay...see you later, I really need to rest..."
Melusin's tone was as if she was relieved, and the smile on her face was like a flower that bloomed and then disappeared, returning to the "gun" held by Novia to recover her magic.
Then Novia looked up and saw the vast fields woven together by brown and green farmland.
