[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

"Clipvia is ready to sue little Agrippina in court. This is her last chance to preserve her marriage." Just when Octavia was about to kill little Agrippina, News came from the Skurato: "Belius withdrew the divorce proceedings for this, but refused to let Cripvia visit their only daughter Beliana."

"This is the strength of Roman patriarchy." Octavia cursed: "Even Matrona has to rely on Lucina's help to win a chance of freedom."

"Not only Lucina, but Vitas can also help you get rid of the shackles." Conesia, who was invited by Octavia, gathered her snow-white veil, with a quiet and gentle smile: "It's just the whip of the high priest. will hang over your head forever."

"I dare not entrust my freedom to the sacred fire that needs to be guarded." Octavia dropped the rush pen in her hand and stared at the documents brought in from Claudius' palace: "You said that Cripvia would Make Beliana a Virgin of Vesta?"

"It's hard." Even though Konesia has always regarded Octavia as her own, she still had to pour cold water on her: "Beliana is the only daughter of Cripvia and Berius. She became a Virgin of Vesta, and Berius would not be able to divorce Cripvia, which meant that their line would become extinct."

The virgins of Vesta will be cut off from their families the moment they enter the Temple of Vesta. They will remain virgins for Rome for more than 30 years. His family also received related political favors.

Of course, under such a noble status, the selection of virgins of Vesta is also quite strict.

They had to be born into a noble family in Rome, with good looks and no defects.Parents had never been slaves or freemen, or worked in menial trades.At the same time, she has never been free from the discipline of her parents, and her parents have never been divorced (bereavement of wife and husband is not counted).

"This is troublesome." Octavia said with a little distress: "Occasionally, I will be kind and want to save people to the end, but money is more useful than men's promises, especially the promises of those who are heartbroken."

Octavia pointed out: "Conesia, how long do you think Cripvia can live after getting back her uncle's inheritance?"

"It won't be more than two years." As a virgin, Conesia said the extremely terrifying fact in a calm tone: "By then, the legacy of Gaius Cripps will be in the pocket of Berrius The so-called last chance is nothing more than a poor woman's self-deception."

"That's right! But it's such a simple truth that a noble-born Matrona doesn't understand." Octavia pursed her lips, nodded at Konessia, and said, "Beliana's please."

"If possible, be sure to let Beliana be elected as the seventh Virgin of Vitas."

"It's not difficult, but are you sure that Cripvia and Berrius will agree to their only daughter to be a Vitas virgin?" Konessia hesitated: "Don't force Berius to let Kripvia Ya go to see Pluto."

"What does it matter if they agree or not? The key is whether Beliana is willing or not." Octavia handed a gold leaf to Konessia as her token to persuade Beliana: "As long as Beliana is willing." Yana has become a virgin of Vitas, even if Berius had 1 courage, he would not dare to be cruel to Cripvia."

"Besides, Beliana doesn't want to see everything about her mother being passed on to others by her father. And in Rome, except for the goddess Vitus, who else would dare to steal a virgin's property?"

"As for Berlius, is it possible that he, a noble citizen who has become a family, can still run for the high priest? He is not afraid that angry civilians will throw him off the walls of Rome." It was a joke, which made the eldest virgin laugh loudly: "You little clever ghost, no wonder little Dominia loves you so much. If I hadn't become a Vitas virgin, I would have given birth to a daughter as lovely as you .”

"Praise me is enough! I am worried that I will ignore Jupiter's thunder and lightning in Mercury's hypocritical praise." Octavia sent Konessia out in person, but bumped into him on the way back to the study. Dory Fluorus returned from training.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and the Thracian boy's muscles are tighter than last time.He has reached the age of drawing bars, and the number of tattoos on his upper body has also increased.The whole person is like a leopard in the jungle, full of vigorous beauty.

Octavia didn't pay attention to Doryphrus who deliberately stood in front of her. On the contrary, Tita, who had grown up, was a little dry.

"If you like him, you can go on a private date with him." Octavia did not stop the maid from thinking carefully, after all, lust is the nature of most people.It's just that she doesn't want her maid to develop into lovers or even husband and wife with Doryphrus: "Titus and Drausus will not agree to you being together. If you are smart enough, you and Doryphrus Just sleep once or twice, and don't do Danae's foolishness."

Tita, who was punctured by the hostess, couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so she curled her sideburn hair a little awkwardly, and said hesitantly, "Don't you like him? Dorifulus is really the best-looking boy I've ever seen. .”

"Good-looking is good-looking, but I don't like wild and unruly people very much." Octavia's ideal husband is an innocent and simple person like Brittanicus.For this reason, she doesn't mind if her husband has a mistress or prostitutes, and she is even happy that after completing the main task of marriage with her husband, the two can live apart without interfering with each other.

At this point, Octavia can be said to have exhausted the true biography of Messerina and Claudius.

After being surprised by the hostess' answer, Tita didn't ask any more questions.

Only after that, Octavia realized that she needed a capable secretary who was as firm as Vitas virgin—at least she would not be dazzled by love.

In this regard, Ellius suggested very intimately: "Maybe you need a well-trained eunuch slave. They are more loyal than the Guards and more capable than Egyptian women. And they have a very beautiful singing voice and wonderful eloquence."

"But eunuch slaves are more expensive than a beautiful Greek girl. Besides, such goods are always priceless and rare. I don't worry about an eunuch from Persia walking around in the yard." House Davia thought carefully about Elius' suggestion, and then made her own request: "Go and ask Narcissus to see if he can get a well-trained eunuch in Egypt or Libya, Then buy a few smart, pretty boys."

Nero's face flashed in Octavia's mind, and he hesitated: "Buy more boys with blond hair or red hair, preferably with a pair of light-colored eyes."

"Yes." Elius didn't understand the intention of the hostess, but he still tried his best to do it.

The author has something to say:

Thank you for your support, I must write the cold circle all over.Next time I will open Aztec mythology, and ask Jinjiang who can do it. (Akimbo, it can break my cow).

PS: Octavia is an evil woman, an evil woman, an evil woman. Again, don’t worry about the three views with me. I don’t even know what the three views of Roman society are.The Great Reformation is what historians satirize: for every Cincinnatus, there are a hundred Caracalla; for every Trajan, there are a hundred Caligula; for every Vespasian, there are There are a hundred Claudius.

Octavia, like Elaine next door, is the most offensive heroine I've ever written.

Virgin of Vitus: The priestess of Vitus (Greek Hestia), the guardian of the kitchen god, whose leader is the virgin.

High Priest: There are [-] male priests presiding over the sacrifice. The leader is the High Priest, who is the only one who has the right to punish the virgins of Vitas.The selection of the high priest is as harsh as that of the Vitas virgin, but it is required to be born in a civilian family and not married.

Lucina: goddess of midwifery, daughter of Juno.By saying this, Octavia was implying that a Roman woman would have to have three children to be exempt from guardianship.

Conesia: The private Vitus virgin, sister of Octavia's grandmother Little Dominia.
