[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Octavia didn't want strangers to stay overnight in the palace on Palatine Hill, so after Elius brought the man, Octavia just wanted to achieve the goal of pregnancy, and after marrying with the other party, she never Let Elius take him away mercilessly, without any estimation of the other party's affection on the bed, extremely gentle.

"Master, does that young man want to be executed immediately, or stay a little longer?" Elius had never done such a frenzied thing, so that when he brought people into Octavia's bedroom, he had a feeling of restraint. The illusion that the guards would break in at any time.

Even if [-]% of the current Praetorian Guards are staff left by Claudius, but in the traditional Roman concept, the Praetorian Guards are the emperor's lackeys.

As for the fact that Caligula was killed by the captain of the Praetorian Guard, it was purely because the former was too cheap, so it was selectively ignored by the Romans.

"Keep him for a month first." Octavia didn't believe that she was right, and she didn't want too many new faces to appear in the palace on Palatine Hill, so she hesitated, "If I don't pregnant, let Scylla dispose of him."

There were two methods of pregnancy testing in ancient Rome.

One is to let women pee on wheat seeds to see if they germinate, and the other is to put a piece of garlic in a private|secret|place. Confirm pregnancy.

Octavia doesn't know what the scientific principles of these pregnancy tests are, but as far as she knows, the accuracy rate is not low, so Octavia is unlikely to become that one in ten thousand.

Of course, if she really became one in [-] that could not be detected, she would have to consider supporting Brittany Kus to the throne, and then try to imprison this younger brother after he completes the task of inheriting the family.

Yes, before Octavia decided to have a child, she had already considered the consequences of her difficulty in conceiving or infertility.

After all, she and Nero are both products of inbreeding.

Although Nero and Octavia are normal people in terms of appearance and basic behavior, Nero's headache and Britannicus' irritability must be related to genetic defects, so Octavia doesn't know that she Will there be genetic defects that cannot be seen from the appearance.

Infertility happens to be the most likely genetic problem among the offspring of consanguineous marriages.

Take Nero as an example. In history, the last emperor of the Claudius family married three wives, one male favourite, and even had countless mistresses for his entertainment.But among so many people, apart from the fact that the second Pompeia Sabina gave birth to a baby girl who only lived for a few days, there was no other good news.

And Nero's uncle Caligula is also a descendant of a close relative, and after he ascended the throne, he also tried to have children to stabilize his power.He even robbed the pregnant wife of an officer, wanting his stepson to be his heir.

It is also a mysterious operation.

Elius had Octavia's roommate taken down, and told his master about Nero's attempt to escape.There was also some fear in the words: "If Sporus hadn't discovered the emperor, maybe we would face the charges of the Senate tomorrow."

"Perhaps it's worse than this." Octavia said mercilessly, "Which one do you think is more comfortable, burning at the stake or being crucified?"

Elius was terrified by Octavia's description, because he had seen Caligula order some people who opposed the emperor to be crucified alive.

And among them, Elius' former master was included.

Because the criminals who were crucified on the cross would suffer a painful death for a few days, so in terms of senses, it can also serve as an example to others.

As for burning at the stake, there is no need to talk about it.

In short, Elius could not tell which was more terrible, but he had heard the warning of his lax control from the more terrible mistress.

"Master, I will seriously reflect on my mistakes, and at the same time, I will accept the punishment." Although Elius is Octavia's habitual butler, it does not mean that his dereliction of duty will save him from the housekeeper. The family punishment set by Davia.

However, Octavia is not in the mood to blame Elius for his mistake now, because she wants to see how Nero is doing.And make sure that Sporus didn't strike too hard, to prevent Octavia from explaining to the Senate how the scar on Nero's head came from.

"Won't there be a scar on his head?" Octavia looked at the sleepy Nero, hoping that this tortured man would suffer a concussion, and it was best to forget about returning to Rome. Light.

Lukusta, who had already treated Nero's wound, replied: "The scar will definitely not be erased, but it won't be visible from a distance."

After all, she also secretly glanced at Sporus, who was controlled by Elius' men, and saw that the latter did not show a trace of remorse, as if the "masterpiece" on the emperor's forehead was not done by him at all. of.

"Compared to the scars on the head, you'd better pay attention to whether the emperor's brain has been impacted." In front of Octavia, Lukusta could only say vaguely: "There is a depression on Nero's head, So I'm not sure how he'll react when he wakes up. It's even possible he won't wake up for the rest of his life."

Octavia only frowned when she heard this, and then asked Elius to send Lukusta out.

Now, only the unconscious Nero, the sober Octavia, and Sporus, the instigator, were left in the room.

After Elius and Lukusta walked away, Sporus stepped forward and knelt down at Octavia's feet, saying each word: "If anyone wants to delve into this matter, please let me take the responsibility." full responsibility."

"How do you plan to take responsibility?" Octavia asked back: "The emperor had an accident in the palace on the Palatine Hill. No matter how you take the blame, everyone here is your accomplice and has to blame the emperor for the accident." Responsible."

Due to not having a good rest for several months, and because she spent the night with a young man last night, Octavia, who had not had a private life for a long time, only felt a burning pain in her thigh, which made it difficult for her to stand firm on Sporus. in front of.

"I have to think of a more appropriate explanation for the emperor's coma." Octavia walked around the room anxiously, but because she didn't pay attention to the things in front of her, she directly tripped over Sporus.

Because of the wool blanket, Sporus and Octavia did not fall, but for Sporus who has always loved Octavia, this was the first time he hugged his sweetheart.

Even though Octavia was so thin that only a handful of bones remained, Sporus still thought she was the most beautiful existence in the world.

However, such Octavia was not cherished by Nero.
