[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Octavia, who sent Conesia away, sat in the room for a long time, until Narcissus came to her anxiously: "Little Domitius is awake, he wants to see you."

"I'll go right away." Octavia, who was just about to get up, hesitated for a second, took out a whip used to teach slaves from the cabinet, and threw it to Narcissus.

"What are you doing?" Narcissus felt that the thing in his hand was extremely hot: "If you want to teach the slave a lesson, you can hand it over to the servant..."

"If I don't go for a while, Nero will come to me in all likelihood." Octavia stretched out her arms very calmly, motioning for Narcissus to untie the rope on the whip: "You wait Whip my arm in a moment, and let Nero hear a word."

Octavia said to Narcissus one word at a time: "Please remember your identity, and don't talk nonsense in the ear of little Domitius."

"Little Claudia, please allow me not to do anything to hurt you." Narcissus had known for a long time that Octavia was not an ordinary child, but he never thought that the other party would be so ruthless: "If Let Her Royal Highness know that I whipped you, and she must kill me."

"It's all right," Octavia insisted. "I'll explain everything to her. A whip is not a big deal compared to decapitating little Agrippina."

At the end, Octavia added: "If little Agrippina can't be sentenced to death, surely you don't want Nero to continue to hang around in front of His Majesty the Emperor."

Narcissus struggled on the spot for a while, and finally said ruthlessly, "Little Claudia, please forgive my last resort."

After finishing speaking, Narcissus swung his whip at Octavia, making clear and crisp sounds on the ground.

What Nero, attracted by the sound, saw was Octavia's scarred arm.

"Dear little Claudia, His Majesty Claudius asked me to warn you not to make unnecessary actions." Narcissus, who noticed the shadow outside the door, said coldly: "Also, little Gripina's business has been taken over by someone else, and you should have full respect for your cousin."

After finishing speaking, Narcissus put the whip back on the table, saluted Octavia, and left quickly.

Seeing this, Nero quickly hid behind a pillar to avoid Narcissus who was going out.

Octavia lowered her eyes, hissed several times and soaked her arms in cold water, trying to relieve the burning pain.

After all, Narcissus controlled his strength, so Octavia's arm looked terrible, but in fact it was not hurt at all. As long as the ointment was applied, it would heal within a few days.

"Hiss..." Octavia kept gasping, trying to squeeze out some tears, trying to make herself look very pitiful in the eyes of the peeping Nero.

Nero outside the door also bit his lips as Octavia wished, feeling very uncomfortable before leaving.

What's even more wonderful is that after returning to the house, Nero wanted to lie on the bed for a while, but found a letter under his pillow, which contained little Agrippina's instructions.

The general idea is to let him prove that little Agrippina was wronged in court, and bite Messalina back by the way.

Nero, who had seen ten lines at a glance, burned the letter in a very decadent manner, and turned around and ran to Octavia's house.

At that time, Octavia was packing up the things she brought, and planned to move back to her residence before the Claudius couple came back.

When Nero bumped into her, Octavia had already put on a cloak, and the moment she saw Nero, she subconsciously pulled the lower edge to block her arms.

Nero clearly wanted to confide in Octavia with a thousand words, but the moment he really saw Octavia, he couldn't say anything.

In the end, Octavia was the first to break the awkward atmosphere and said, "I'm going first, take care."

Seeing Nero's red eyes, Octavia said apologetically, "Don't take what I told you the other day seriously!"

It was obviously trying to be relaxed, but Nero could hear the crying in her voice.

"Bear it if you can! If you really say something unfavorable to your mother in court..." Octavia, who lowered her eyes, couldn't help wiping away her tears (suffered from being hurt), but she couldn't force a smile after all. He turned his face to the side and said: "Look at my unbelievable appearance, and the words I say are all nonsensical, which makes you laugh."

Nero didn't laugh at Octavia, he just stared at Octavia silently for a while, then hugged her tightly, just like Octavia comforted him before, patted Octavia's cheek lightly back.

Because of the violent physical contact, Octavia only felt that the scar on her arm that had been sorely relieved was a little more painful, which made her wish to push away the insignificant brat, and then soak her hot arm back into the cold water.

Nero comforted Octavia self-righteously, and when he let go, he took out a coin from the cloth bag hanging around his neck, and gently placed it in Octavia's hand.

I saw the family names of Nero and Octavia crookedly engraved on the coin with a flattened pattern, which looked extremely funny.

"I remember that Brittany Kus would always play consul games when he was a child." Octavia tentatively said, "He always thought that his head portrait and family name would be engraved on coins."

Of course, this is also Octavia's dream.

"Then do you want to?" Nero stared at Octavia's face, cautiously and full of expectation: "Octavia, do you want to be engraved on a coin with me?"

At this moment, Octavia only felt that the coin in her palm was a little hot.

And Nero's next words made her heart skip a beat: "Octavia of the Claudius family, I want to conclude a wheat cake marriage with you, and enshrine wealth, glory, and Domi in front of the family's god statue." The holy fire of House Tius."

"It sounds very honoring." Octavia put the coins away carefully, and gave Nero a vague answer: "Jupiter is Juno's only husband, but Juno is not Jupiter." Peter's only wife."

"Nero, we don't have the right to make decisions about our own future, unless we try our best to fight for it." Octavia pointed out: "But we still have time to resist authoritarian parents."

"Like Cupid and Psyche."

Nero couldn't help clenching his fists when he thought of what little Agrippina had said about Lucius Hiranus wanting to marry Octavia.

"Please take care, the future Augustus." Octavia, who heard the urging outside the door, stood on tiptoe, kissed Nero on the right cheek, then put on the veil, and was reluctant to part with Nero. In the middle, the veil of the sedan chair fell.

"You seem very happy." Tita, who came to welcome Octavia, looked at Octavia's face carefully and tentatively.

"Happy? Maybe!" Octavia rubbed the coin Nero gave her, deliberately blocking Nero's family name with her thumb.

Um!Sure enough, it looks more harmonious like this.

Thinking of the relationship between Nero and little Agrippina in history, Octavia couldn't help but look forward to the moment when the mother and son turned their faces.

But before that, she had to deal with the chief priest who dared to trouble her.

"Elius, go prepare the things you need for the sacrifice. In a few days, I will visit the Virgin of Vesta and offer tribute to the Temple of Vesta." Octavia returned home and took off her veil and cloak , turned around and saw Dory Flux standing at the door holding a medicine box.
