[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

Nero slept so deeply that night that he didn't even dream much.When he woke up, he still had a feeling that he couldn't finish it, as if it would be a good thing to sleep in Pluto's palace.

"Stitch." Nero, with a dry voice, leaned against the head of the bed and called lazily, while thinking about whether his inspiration just now could constitute a wonderful work.

The emperor arrived at Pluto's palace in his sleep?Sounds like Hercules' experience.

"Your Majesty." It was not Nero's butler who ordered to come in, but his eunuch slave Sporus.The latter was still dressed in the same white attire as the virgins of Vesta, and looked more lively than usual.

Nero stood up meaningfully, looked Sporus up and down, and said with displeasure, "Why are you? Where did Stitch go?"

"Master Stitch didn't come back after going out last night. I don't know where he went, but Her Majesty asked me to take the place of Lord Stitch." Sporus stretched out a pair of hands that were more delicate than a lady, Go forward to untie Nero's clothes.

Nero let Sporus change his pajamas for him, watched his male favorite clumsily handle the next thing with some playfulness, and sarcastically said mercilessly: "Have you really learned how to serve others?"

After all, Sporus was an eunuch bought by Otto from the red-light district, and he had been trained as a servant in that area since he was a child.

Facing Nero's ridicule, Sporus lowered his fan-like eyelashes, and said respectfully: "If you think I'm not good enough, you can send a special slave over."

Nero was very surprised that Sporus would be so obedient, after all, Sporus was beautiful before, but Nero was very annoyed by that rebellious appearance, and at the same time, he felt a desire to conquer.

It is said that the abnormal is the demon.

Although Nero's brain is not working well, he can also see some signs from Sporus's reaction.

He pinched Sporus' cheek to force him to look directly at him, not caring at all for the fingerprints on his well-maintained face.

"I don't believe Octavia can't see what you're here for." Nero's fingers slid across Sporus's lips, that cold look and Octavia really looked like a couple—after all, they His blood relationship is not far away, and both parents and mothers can get in touch: "Are you bought by her, or were you threatened by Otto?"

In all fairness, Nero believed in the latter.

But Otto once told him that some men who have been castrated since childhood will still retain their original sexual orientation. After all, those dignitaries with special hobbies will not pay attention to the thoughts of slaves. They only need the other party to be obedient and beautiful. That's it.

At this moment, Sporus truly felt the killing intent from Nero.

No matter how much he sneered at Nero before, the latter would not really have the idea of ​​killing him while being furious.

But this time, Nero is serious.

As soon as he thought of this, Sporus's brain responded before he could react: "Do you think your wife will look up to eunuch slaves?"

It was clearly words that made Sporus' heart bleed, but the moment he said it, he seemed extremely calm: "She doesn't bother to look at me, so how could she order me to do something?"

Nero hesitantly let go of Sporus's hand, and scolded, "Get out and let Elius come over."

Sporus withdrew as if he had been pardoned, gasping for breath while holding on to the wall of the aisle, almost thinking that he would die.

Seeing this, Elius who came over after hearing the news had to sigh repeatedly and let Sporus go back to his room to rest, but at the moment he passed by him, he wrote lightly: "The mistress wants me to bring you a message." , don't act without her back."

Sporus's back stiffened, as if worried that Ellius would touch him.

"The steward of His Majesty the Emperor is dead, and you will be in contact with Otto from now on." Knowing that Octavia would reuse this eunuch slave, Elius was much more sympathetic to him than before: "Be loyal to the mistress, you You will get what you want.”

Because of physical defects, eunuch slaves rarely end well, so they don't seek release after becoming slaves, but serve a master to death.

After hearing what Ellius said, Sporus let go of the arm supporting the wall, and said with a wry smile, "She can give me what I want, but I can't accept it."

Sporus knew very well that the possibility of him and Octavia disappeared without a trace as early as the moment he was castrated by that hateful woman.

But then again, without that hateful woman, Sporus might never have been so close to Octavia in his entire life.

"That's good." Sporus muttered to himself on the way back to the room: "This is already good."

As long as Octavia gets what she wants, nothing about Sporus matters.

………………… I am the dividing line……………

"Lord Galba, I didn't expect you to attend Lord Otto's lawsuit in person." Octavia, who arrived at the court, met Galba of the Sulpicius family as soon as she got out of the car. The latter was obviously waiting for her here. .

"Your Highness, it's been a long time." Galba hadn't returned to Rome for a long time. After the death of Claudius, he only kept his position in the army on the grounds that he was too old, and then resigned for three years. an honorary priesthood.Therefore, he was rated as a real smart person by Marcus Barbatus.

"The last time I saw you was at the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty Claudius." Galba is one of the few old politicians who have met Augustus, and few people can spend four years in peace like him. During the reign of the emperor, even after Nero came to power, he did not encounter liquidation.

Speaking of Claudius, Galba showed obvious nostalgia: "Your father is a truly good emperor, but it's a pity that he missed the best political age."

Putting aside all the indiscretions in life, Claudius is undoubtedly a spring breeze for the Roman subjects who have experienced two tyrants.

He may not be wise enough, but during his reign, he did ease the relationship between the Senate and the Citizens' Assembly, and even reduced the hatred of all classes, allowing the freed slaves and the "new citizens" class to integrate into Roman society more quickly.

This gave Claudius a high prestige at the bottom of Rome.

And Galba, as a major leader of the army, naturally cannot take those noble sons who have no ambitions to eat sand in remote places, so how to get good treatment for his subordinates is also a big concern of this old politician trouble.

In Galba's view, the one who gives money is a good emperor.

Although Claudius also owed military salaries, compared with Tiberius and Caligula, at least he did not default.

Especially after the temple incident, Claudius still paid enough military pay despite the financial difficulties, which was enough to make Galba miss Claudius very much.

Even looking at Octavia's eyes softened a lot.

After all, the little queen "inherited" Claudius' will and did a lot of good things for the bottom of Rome.

For example, in today's lawsuit, if there is no help from Octavia, those retired military officers can only admit defeat.If things go on like this, who else will join the army?Why did Galba maintain Rome's strength?

"Your Highness, thank you for obtaining justice for these poor people." When Galba entered the arena with Octavia, he sincerely thanked: "I assure you, you will get the Sulpicius family true friendship."

"Your Excellency, I can't bear your words." Octavia smiled shyly, looking very embarrassed: "It's just that I want your friendship more than the friendship of the Sulpicius family. "

"Dear Lord Galba."
