[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

"Will that kind of thing hurt?" On the wedding night, Octavia knelt in front of the statue enshrined at home, and whispered to Messalina who came to visit her: "I'm not ready to accept this. everything."

"But you can't consummate the house with your husband on the wedding night." Messalina carefully combed Octavia's hair, in fact, she really didn't want her daughter to have a relationship with her husband's former molester: "If It's not that Brittanicus is too useless, and you don't have to cater to Nero."

Messalina doesn't believe that Octavia is really in love with Nero, but right now they have no better choice.

"When I married your father, you were younger than you are now. Can you imagine how a young girl endured a four-married man who was older than her father?" Messalina looked around Yes, so he comforted: "At least Nero is younger and better-looking than Claudius at that time. Besides, the pain is only a momentary thing, and you will enjoy it soon."

After all, Messalina still whispered in Octavia's ear: "Even if you don't like Nero, you can still find a lover behind your back after marriage, he has already betrayed you anyway, hasn't he? "

Octavia turned her face to the side, and found that Messalina was showing a complacent look, and she even pinned a white flower to Octavia's ear, and said in an ambiguous tone: "I know there is a very good woman." Reese soldier likes you, if you want to date him, you can come to my house."

"Let's talk about it later!" Octavia had already heard Nero's footsteps, so she hastened to get Messalina out of the house, lest Nero run into his disliked mother-in-law.

"One last word." Messalina grabbed Octavia's hand and whispered in her ear, "Hurry up and have a baby, preferably a boy."

Messalina looked down at Octavia's belly, and lamented that her daughter was born too slender, as if she was not ready to be a mother: "It doesn't matter if you are pregnant with Nero's seed or not. Gotta make sure we have a son, and then we have a backup plan in case Nero and Brittanicus don't come in handy."

"A young master with blood alone can't convince the crowd." Octavia said thoughtfully: "I also need to have troops and money."

Then think about having kids.

………………… I am the dividing line…………………

Nero had never been more nervous than tonight.

Under the moonlight, Octavia wore long dark brown hair that was almost black. Under this strong contrast, her already fair skin looked like translucent jade, which reminded Nero of the house where they met for the first time. The appearance of Davia behind the curtain.

"What are you laughing at?" Octavia looked at Nero who had climbed onto the bed with an inexplicable smirk, so she stretched out her hand and shook in front of him: "You couldn't be timid on your wedding night, right?"

According to Roman customs, most of the husbands are more than ten years older than their wives, so many Roman women have to face the fact that their husbands already have children or are frequent visitors to ji|houses before they get married.

Octavia was not sure whether Nero had a relationship with Pompeo Sabina, but he must have more experience in this area than her.

"The emperor is not timid." Nero mustered up the courage to push Octavia down on the bed, then gently brushed away the long dark brown hair on her chest, and said softly, "Are you afraid?"

"Most women will have this experience, so I'm not afraid." Octavia put her arms around Nero's neck and said courageously, "But I don't want to be a mother so early, because those young mothers are too young. It's easy to die."

Nero glanced at Octavia's waist like Messalina, and it was hard to imagine that a child could be conceived here.

"I'll be more careful." Nero had seen those female slaves who suffered childbirth in their teens, and some of them would experience dystocia and even die because of it.

Nero didn't want Octavia to go through this, so he was as gentle and restrained as possible on the wedding night, and withdrew in time at the end, without leaving the seed|seed in Octavia's body.

After it was done, Nero sent someone in to change the sheets, and helped Octavia to the bathroom to help her clean the dirt off her body.

"Does it hurt?" Nero said to Octavia nervously like a schoolboy who made a mistake after having a good time.

"Maybe I'll take a rest tomorrow." Octavia drank some pain-relieving tea, and then asked Nero to help her back to bed, hugged and smiled with her new husband.

"I will definitely perform better next time." Nero promised confidently, but fell asleep in a short while.

Octavia stared at Nero's sleeping face for a while, then got out of bed and called Elius.

"Tell Scylla to trap Valerius. According to what Tias said, there is probably someone who is particularly popular with my mother recently." Octavia whispered: "Also, let someone send Doryphrus Transferred to the regiment in Britain, I don't want to see him anytime soon."

"Yes." Elius glanced at Nero on the bed, and said hesitantly, "The matter you asked me to investigate has come to fruition... His Majesty the Emperor did look for Mrs. Otto before getting married, and he is still in Otto. Stayed at your lord's house all night."

"...I see." Because Octavia had been mentally prepared for a long time, she was able to maintain her composure: "Have you found out that Otto and Aurus Vitellius have entanglements recently?"

"Yes, they have been in contact with him three or four times recently, and they have also got involved with Lord Weipasian of the Flavius ​​family." Elius was recently "released" by Octavia as a free citizen so that his The son was able to successfully take over the post of construction officer.

And Titus has also been upgraded from a financial envoy to a financial officer. Octavia is trying every means to obtain citizenship for Titus, so that he can serve as a higher official, closer to the emperor himself, like Narcissus. Position.

"Lord Weipasian wants to get off my boat." Octavia didn't dare to underestimate the old fox who won the final victory in the "Year of the Four Emperors", so she made a cruel move: "You say ...If Titus is elected into the temple, will Lord Vespasian be more peaceful?"

Elius looked up at Octavia, who nodded, and hurriedly said, "I will tell my son what you mean."

"Well! Thank you for your hard work." Octavia let Elius go down, and then slept back next to Nero.

The carefree new emperor had never slept so soundly as on his wedding night, but when the sun shone on his face the next day, he was forced to wake up from his sleep, and then he saw the face of Octavia Pressing on him expressionlessly, pinching his cheek, forcing him to look directly at himself.

"Honey, don't you want to take a break today?" Nero thought Octavia was messing with him, so he held her arm in a teasing way, but the latter didn't do what Nero thought. With a smile on his face, he said with an expressionless face, "You called out a name that broke my heart last night."

"Pompeia Sabina."

Nero's face froze slightly, and even the strength to hold Octavia's arm weakened a lot.

"I believe you had sex with that woman under no other circumstances." Octavia's voice choked up a little, and she portrayed the poor wife who found out that her husband was cheating: "I just hope we don't let each other in the future." disappointment."

Facing Octavia's accusation, although Nero was confused about whether he had mentioned Pompea Sabina's name in his sleep, he still expressed his apology for what Octavia had encountered.After all, no one would feel good hearing another woman's name mentioned by their husband on their wedding night.

It was from this moment that Nero deliberately alienated Otto.
