[Ancient Rome] How to Divorce the Tyrant Nero

When Scylla arrived at Palatine Hill, Octavia was leaning on the railing and looking out.

Scylla followed her gaze and saw that Nero was taking Sporus for a walk in the garden, and even wove a wreath on Sporus's blond hair.

"The eunuch slave in your family used to be the number one in the red-light district." Scylla wanted to see Octavia's good show very much, so he said deliberately: "There was a big man who spent a lot of money on him, and even brought him into the gods. Behind the temple."

"Behind the temple?" Octavia's eyeballs moved slightly, and her gaze shifted to Scylla: "Has he ever stayed behind the temple?"

"Why, haven't you checked that eunuch slave?" Scylla felt a little unbelievable and said, "With your control over Nero, even if there is a fly around him, you will check it out clearly. How come now, you don't care about him anymore?"

Speaking of this, Scylla's slender fingers lightly brushed Octavia's collarbone, and said in her ear full of temptation: "The things you get are often the least cherished. For men, beauty is just like passing by." They are all things that can be tiresome at any time. But women are also creatures who love the new and dislike the old, and are even particularly cruel in this respect."

"You don't have to say nonsense things to me." Octavia knew that Scylla wanted to see her own jokes: "Do you think I'm jealous of that eunuch slave?"

"Ordinary people may think so, but you and I are not ordinary people." Scylla said, "Do you still remember the prostitute | Cleopatra I introduced to Claudius? ?”

"Isn't she dead?" Octavia remembered that the pawn who turned to her was poisoned to death by another old lover of Claudius after Claudius died: "I remember you have Bury her well."

"Not only did I bury her properly, but I also brought the brother she was looking for all along." Scylla looked at Sporus in the garden, and said meaningfully: "After all, it is the person you want to take care of, so I once Promised that little boy a job for life, but he insisted on coming to your side."

"Sporus is Cleopatra's younger brother?" Octavia said in surprise, "They don't look alike at all."

Octavia remembered Cleopatra as a dark-haired beauty with Egyptian features, which is how she got her stage name, while Sporus was a blond Gaulish boy with almost transparent fair skin.

"The half-siblings naturally look different." Scylla said disapprovingly: "Their father wanted to live in Rome, but was forced to death by the usury merchants, even a pair of children were sold In the red light district."

"You know, men are not accepted in red-light districts, unless they are hired thugs or teenagers who satisfy old men's perverted hobbies." Scylla sighed: "Cleopatra and Sporus were sold I went to a different brothel. The former is okay, after all, a prostitute will always redeem herself one day, even with Cleopatra's ability, it is enough to start a business like me and become a boss, but Sporus is different .”

Scylla narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became heavy: "You also know that some perverts in the red light district like to be young, and some eunuch teenagers have very beautiful singing voices, so when Sporus was 13 years old Neutered by his buyers to better please customers."

"And that buyer is the Cassiponia you had to deal with before." Scylla's tone was full of disdain: "She also got retribution, before Nero was 'connected' to Paris by Claudius. When he was in the Latin Palace, Otto was worried that he would be hated by Messalina, so he gave Cassiponia a lot of things, and also hinted to Cassiponia that if he wanted to prevent Messalina’s persecution, he had to develop his own strength."

"I'm afraid Sporus was the one who was chosen into the temple at that time." Octavia quickly found the key point in time: "Because Conesia is my great-aunt, the priests of the temple are undoubtedly Cassiponia should be the one to please."

"After all, nothing is as good as God's will." Scylla had contacted countless dignitaries, so he knew that there were extremely rotten souls behind these pious people: "After you rescued those young men from the temple, Sporus So he buried his sister, and then tried to get to you."

"But why didn't he come to you." Octavia was puzzled: "I really hope that there are more loyal people around me. If he asks you, then you will definitely introduce him to me."

"Yes! Why is that?" Scylla looked at Octavia inscrutablely, and then changed his voice: "Besides, there is also a clue to what you want me to inquire about."

"Your mother's new lover has a lot of background. His name is Caius Silius, and he is a Roman veteran. Even if he is not a direct descendant or offshoot of several big families, he is not much different." Skua deliberately lowered his voice. The voice and face also became serious: "This guy once supported little Agrippina, and even let his wife touch little Agrippina. Ten years ago, no one in Rome knew Caius Agrippina. Silius's wife, Julia Sirana, was a good friend of little Agrippina, but when little Agrippina was exiled, their family lived as peacefully as ostriches in the desert, but recently Come alive."

"I've heard of the name Julia Sirana. She wanted to join my mother's salon, but she was rejected by my mother." Octavia could remember all Matrona's names, but she didn't Don't care about this little Agrippina's close friend-because the other party is not a smart person, otherwise he will not get worse.

"Julia Sirana once wanted to play the friendship card of little Agrippina with Nero, but you also know Nero's character." Scylla sneered, "Right now, she is in a hurry to die. .Because Kaius Silius couldn't wait to return to the center of power, so he conspired to divorce Julia Sirana and marry your mother as his wife."

"Even if your mother was removed from the inheritance list by your grandmother, she has been the Consul's wife and queen for so many years, and the resources and money she got from Claudius alone are enough to complete the Kaiu Sirius' dream. Not to mention that Julia Sirana's family has long been in decline because of her involvement in little Agrippina."

"In this case, then you can help me contact this Julia Sirana!" Octavia interrupted Scylla's words, and said slowly under the surprised eyes of the other party: "Even if there is no My mother, her husband will also be looking for another lover or wife who is suitable as a springboard. I am not a person who likes to do futile work, so I simply make her husband disappear once and for all."

"But will Julia Sirana join forces with you?" Scylla said incredulously, "You are Maiselina's daughter, and she is not very smart."

"Yes." Octavia said with certainty, "As long as her husband dies, she can not only get her dowry back, but also eliminate the risk of inheriting her own children. And because I am Messalina's daughter, I don’t want my mother to have such an ambitious man by her side.”

Scylla remembered Octavia's identity and Messalina's wealth, and immediately said: "Understood, I will help you contact her immediately."
