[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

After the temple incident broke out, in just a few days, the most noble group of priests was imprisoned by the angry Senate and the emperor. The hands of the torturers were equipped with torture tools, and they screamed continuously all night until their throats could no longer separate dried black blood. .

"My lord, Jupiter, I have always served the Roman Emperor humbly, and I have never done anything wrong to him." The high priest lay on the wooden board breathlessly, stroking the blood under his body, and couldn't help it. He closed his eyes in pain.

"My dear High Priest, for Pluto's sake, you should take care of yourself." Valerius Antieas wiped his bleeding right hand on the High Priest's clothes. , and said softly, "Pluto is the god of wealth, you will never dream of being underground and enjoying the wealth you have looted."

As Valerius Antias said, he signaled the jailer next to him to turn the instrument of torture under the chief priest, causing the chief priest to feel the pain of being torn apart.

"Before I ask you next time, please think about your future." Because Claudius was eager to ask the high priest to find out where the wealth of the temple was, Valerius Antias He did not kill the high priest, but tortured him mentally. "The thing under you has already executed two high priests. Please think about their fate carefully, and then make the most correct choice."

"No, I will never have delusions of luck." The chief priest kept praying to the gods in his heart, but the gods did not protect him. "Please learn from me."

However, Valerius Antieas did not listen to the words of the chief priest, but smashed the legs of the chief priest with a bloody hammer.

…………… I am the dividing line……………

"Has he confessed yet?" Messalina is in a very good mood these days, because of Octavia's proposal, the wealth and power of the Roman ladies have increased significantly, which makes them more and more dependent on Cleria. Laudius' wife and daughter, even subconsciously, obeyed Octavia.

"The old man insisted that he did not covet the money of the temple, and transferred the fault to the Virgin of Vitas." Valerius Antiias was impatient with the chief priest, so today's methods are also become more and more cruel.

"It doesn't matter whether he recruits or not. Anyway, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't blame you." Messalina doesn't want the temple's money to be found as soon as possible, because she enjoys the feeling of being sought after by others. "Also, don't Appius Hiranus is too polite."

As soon as Messalina thought that the little Appius' family was her son's potential competitors, she didn't intend to let Appius Hiranus, a tricky old man, escape smoothly, "Your Majesty the Emperor will be here in a few days." Will sign Appius Hiranus' death sentence, and before that, I want you to pry something special out of his mouth if you can."

Messalina thought of Octavia's entrustment, and for a moment didn't know what this daughter, who had more eyes than an old man, wanted to do.

But Octavia will never harm her.

……… I am the dividing line……………

"Yulia Livia had a miscarriage." On the second day after the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly passed the women's bill in public, Octavia received a letter from the prison "The old ministry of Germanicus intends to make Julia Levy Ya withheld the news of the miscarriage so that she would last until the Dionysian absolution."

"Then did you hide the news?" Octavia never believed that Messalina would show sympathy to her potential opponent. "Take out the nonsense and get straight to the point."

"The old ministry of Germanicus is looking for a freedman executioner who has never married." Facing an aggressive enemy like Octavia, the spies couldn't help but express deep sympathy for Yulia Livia, "They plan to' Revive the old laws of the 'Republic. Let Yulia Livia give up her noble status and marry an executioner to save her life."

The spies didn't dare to look at Octavia's face, because the low air pressure in the house made him breathless.

Octavia's mood became very bad because of Claudius' hesitation and the enemy's panting, but she still tried her best to restrain her bad emotions, and let Elius outside the house come in and listen to the order, "Go and help me!" Send word to Narcissus to bring something to little Domitius."

"What."

"A basket of figs that killed Cleopatra." Octavia let the spies back down, and then gave Narcissus a terrible smile. "I think the old ministry of Germanicus can understand my hint."

"Nero and Yulia Livia, they can only keep one this time." Octavia has lost patience with this group of people, so she doesn't intend to leave anything for the great Agrippina lineage. respite.

"If they dare to save Yulia Livia, I will poison Nero to death. If they want to save Nero, they have to watch Yulia Livia be put to death." Octavia understated "That's fair, isn't it?"

Ellius didn't answer, he just dutifully served the hostess, and then expressed deep sympathy and gloat for the little Domitius who fell into the illusion of love.

Because of Claudius' persecution and Octavia's sweet talk, Nero's love for Octavia is getting stronger day by day.Although little Agrippina's old department tried their best to awaken Nero's reason, but before the young man's rebellion and romance, everything was in vain.

Even though the communication between Octavia and Nero is only letters and gifts, this kind of youthful and rebellious love made Nero, who was persecuted a few days ago, feel the washing of noble emotions and the transcendence The thrill of being above the kingship of Claudius.

Besides, in Nero's filter, everything Octavia has done so far is for his own good.

Without the help of Octavia, Nero, who is weak and weak, could not escape from the palace of Claudius and the murderous hands of Agrippina the Younger, let alone obtain a large amount of "property" to live a comfortable life. superior life.

So when the people around him tirelessly talked about Messalina's viciousness and Octavia's evil intentions, Nero was not in a very good mood, and then wanted to communicate with Octavia more and more.

"I really don't understand why you use such vicious language to slander a lady who can bring me sweet emotions." Nero was very happy to receive the gift from Octavia, because there was a beautiful picture in the fig basket. A card with figures referring to Nero and Octavia, and a greeting written by Octavia herself.

Its content is nothing more than some small things in life, but under Octavia's artistic rhetoric, everything looks sweet and peaceful, as if the recent turmoil in Rome is just an illusion used to confuse Nero.

Because Claudius was very close to Nero, Octavia gave Nero a puppet trolley a few days ago so that he could hold a small performance at home.

They even made an appointment, and when they meet next time, Nero will perform a puppet show for Octavia himself, so these days, Nero is either practicing the puppet show manipulation techniques hard, or thinking about a new show content.

And just when Nero was happy, his courtiers began to say some unpleasant things again, and finally they broke up.

Faced with the little master's increasingly disgusted attitude, little Agrippina's nails are not only cursing Octavia's seductiveness, but also thinking about how to win Nero's heart back.

Then they set their sights on a beautiful slave girl.

Akdai, a young beauty from Asia Minor.

And Nero's first mistress in history.

The author has something to say:

Push the newly opened article "(Henry VIII) Tudor Crown", the male protagonist, if Catherine of Aragon had a young son, would the direction of history be different.

Octavia would soon drop support for Brittanicus, as she was already paving the way for her own rule.

A reader summed it up well, how long Nero can live depends on how good he is, how long Titus can live depends on how peaceful he is, and how long Brittanicus can be free depends on his emotional intelligence. how high.
