[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

When Octavia saw Claudius again, the other party's complexion was far better than when he announced his will in public. This is the main reason why Narcissus has not looked at Brittanicus in recent days. reason.

Octavia guessed that Claudius was coming back, thinking that the most powerful man in Rome was coming to an end.

"Is it my Octavia?" With Narcissus' support, Claudius sat up with difficulty, drank a few sips of water tremblingly, and there was a suffocating blush on his face : "I must see you before I go to hell, otherwise my life will be in vain."

"Do you want to tell me about Brittanicus, or do you want to talk about Nero?" Octavia found a chair and sat down, keeping an eye level with Claudius suitable for negotiation: "The seat you arranged for me is really exquisite."

"The emperor's sister, the fiancée of the first heir. No matter how Brittanicus and Nero fight, your grandson will be the emperor of the Roman Empire." Octavia didn't care about Narcissus The look in his eyes that hesitated to speak, let alone talk about respect and politeness with this father who had disappointed her before Claudius died: "You expect me to imitate my great-grandmother with the same name, but you forgot Brittanicus is not Augustus, not even you."

"He's just a spoiled child." When a person is about to die, Claudius is not interested in honoring his son, so what he said is more like a criticism than a defense of the bear child: " If you let him go on for a few more days, you and Messalina will be crushed to death under the statue of Augustus like Caligula's wife and daughter."

"So do you regret letting Brittanicus take over the throne?" Octavia finally understood Claudius' intentions, and tentatively said: "So you want to change the succession order of the throne so that Nero and Bu Letanikus adjust?"

"You are sharp." Claudius nodded calmly, with some regrets: "If you are a boy, or Brittanicus has half your brain, I don't have to think so."

"Wait, Your Majesty, why did you let Nero inherit the throne? Not Brittanicus?" Narcissus said with a loyal expression, "Please don't forget that Billy's grandson is a What's the end?"

"Tiberius has been in power for many years and has not been able to prevent Caligula from ascending to power. What capital do I have to force Brittany to ascend?" Claudius bent his mouth and said with a world-weary face: " If Brittanicus behaved better during the few days when I was sleeping, I can still use the ruling power to seduce the ambitious elders or knights, and then let you and Marcus Barbatus serve as Brittany. Nikus escorts."

"It's a pity that this method is no longer feasible." Octavia said calmly: "Compared to Brittanicus, who is easy to lose control, Nero seems to be much more docile, and he is also much better in control. After all His custody is a big issue."

"And the controversial things are full of loopholes." Claudius happened to pick up the words everywhere, and the thoughts between father and daughter were self-evident.

"Nero will become the emperor, and you will be the queen of Nero and the guardian of Britannicus." Claudius thought that his hard-earned throne would be inherited by the grandson of Germanicus, I felt uncomfortable all over: "In the end, I still didn't win him."

"Thinking of a better place, the grandson of Germanicus will inherit the throne, and your grandson will also inherit the throne." From Claudius's eyes, Octavia could not see that he had ever loved Nero. I had an infatuation with her, or love for her, so I gradually said with a cold face: "You want Nero to be the target of Brittanicus, and if there are bad comments about Britannicus After being forgotten, let me kill Nero so that a more mature Britannicus can take over, right?"

"Yes." Claudius didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and even said in a natural tone: "It is your duty to protect the throne for your brothers. Octavia, you have to remember that the throne belongs only to Claudius." The Claude family, and you are from the Claude family."

"It used to be, but not now." Octavia said coldly: "Now I have been deprived of the name of Claudia, and I am just a little nobleman who looks at people's faces. Besides, father, since I can become the closest person to the emperor People, why do you want to hand over the power you have so hard to get?"

"Brittanicus is your younger brother." At this moment, Claudius said anxiously.

"But it's not me who will stand next to him in the future, who will be regarded as a goddess, and who will bear the name of Augusta." Octavia got up and saluted Claudius, ignoring The latter struggled to get up from the bed.

"Thank you, father." For the first time in history, Octavia sincerely expressed her gratitude to Claudius: "I thought it would take more than ten years to get to this point, but I didn't expect You granted my wish so quickly."

"I assure you that your descendants will sit on the throne."

"It's just not from Britannicus' line, but from my line."

After all, Octavia left Claudius' bedroom without looking back, and ordered Callistus at the door: "Keep close to the door of His Majesty the Emperor, and don't let insignificant people enter."

"If someone comes to look for His Majesty the Emperor, you can say that Narcissus records His Majesty's last words in it, so it is not easy to see guests."

"Yes." Callistus, who had already found his next home, took control of the palace with the help of Octavia while Narcissus was overwhelmed by Claudius' illness. Inside and out, this is also an important reason why Octavia can be confident here.

"What if Lord Narcissus wants to leave the palace?" Callistus knew that a lean camel was bigger than a horse, so he didn't dare to underestimate Narcissus, the first secretary of Claudius. : "I'm worried that Lord Narcissus may testify against you."

"He won't." Octavia said with certainty, "He's a smart person, so he won't do anything to seek death."

Especially when the overall situation is settled, Narcissus does nothing: "If he wants to force his way out, you throw a b-i'sh0u into the house, and then charge him with murdering the emperor." Beheaded on the spot."

"Yes." Callistus saluted Octavia respectfully, and the latter drove directly to the Temple of Vesta after leaving the palace, and asked Conesia, "Can you give me Read my father's will? I want to make sure of something."

"Didn't Claudius' will have been announced long ago? There's nothing to see." Although Konessia felt a little strange about Octavia's request, she handed over the will without much thought.

After seeing it, Octavia confirmed her guess again, and then went to the back of the temple that night to find the ugly woman who made her wish come true.

"I think it's time to make one last wish." Octavia took out Jupiter's gold coin and looked at the ugly woman with a sarcastic smile: "I thought you were more courageous than Great Agrippina , will use this underworld thing three times.”

"I did plan to use the last three times, but unfortunately at this stage, the effect of using it twice is far better than using it three times." Octavia who was ridiculed was not angry at all, and even smiled: "So please take this Go see Pluto for a gold coin!"

Facing the ugly woman's suddenly pale face, Octavia pressed her step by step: "It is my last wish to bury this secret under the temple forever."
